Here Today... Gone To Hell!

On January 22, 2003, Jet played their very first U.S. show at the 260-capacity club Spaceland in Los Angeles. And nearly four years and a couple million album sales later, the Australian rockers returned to the venue that gave them their American start--although this time, they brought a few high-profile friends with them.

Jet started last night's intimate, semi-acoustic Spaceland show on their own, performing Get Born hits like "Move On," "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," and "Look What You Done" as well as songs off their sophomore CD, Shine On, like "King's Horses," "Shiny Magazine," and "All You Have To Do."

Midway through their set they were joined by their first special guests, soul singers the Waters Sisters, who sang backup on Shine On (and, as Jet drummer Chris Cester proudly pointed out to the audience, also appeared on Michael Jackson's Thriller back in the day).

The Waters Sisters' mighty vocals garnered great applause from the Spaceland audience, but it was the emergence of former Guns N' Roses axeman Slash--resplendent in his backwards baseball cap, trademark bushy locks, and KISS T-shirt--that elicited the craziest crowd reaction of the night. Spectators' camera phones went into overdrive as Slash lent his signature, stadium-worthy guitar licks to Jet's cover of the Rolling Stones ballad "Salt Of The Earth."

Next up was the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, who further thrilled the crowd with his medley of the Jet original "Eleanor" and the Ronettes' hit "Be My Baby." A second Robinson guest spot--with the added star power of Sex Pistols guitarist/beloved local Jonesy's Jukebox DJ Steve Jones--on the Faces classic "Miss Judy's Farm" was another unexpected treat.

The very special allstar evening ended with Jet, Slash, Robinson, and Jones joyously jamming on another Faces tune, "Ooh La La." It was a star-powered finale that proved just how far Jet have come since their humble first Spaceland gig in January '03.

Thanks for posting.  I knew some photos would surface.

Now for YouTube??? :hihi:

I fucking hate Jet. They Fukin suck!!!!!!!

THE most unoriginal band to ever walk he face of the earth! We get tortured here in austrralia with them.

How could Slash do this?

Just because you hate them doesn't mean they suck : ok:

Yes it does, and I especially think us Aussie's have a right to call one of our own bands shit when they are. ;D

There are so many better Australian bands than Jet. And Wolfmother ain't that great either.

Back on topic, it's good to see Slash still out and about jamming, he always jammed with other artists during his GN'R days, so it's good to see him still doing it now, even if it with bands like Jet... :o ;D

Here is one of the videos posted so far. The sound is, well it's hardly audible.

But here it is anyways.

 Oh that looks like to much fun wish I had been there!

I'd like to take this moment to thank The Black Crowes for getting me six weeks of paid sick leave to work in the studio and introducing me to the really hot blonde that got me home?

Who would have thought a broken foot could work out so well....
Figures it was a southern band....

That was hot... barley audible or not....more please....

Slash just looks more amused than anything else lol :beer:

Yeah who says you can have fun making music.... :beer:

You aussie guys are RIGHT! Jet SUCKS big fuckin' time.
There are many GREAT Australian rock bands, like THE ANGELS and AUSTRALIAN CRAWL and also the world famous Midnight Oil and Hoodoo Gurus.
These are the good ones that I know. If you guys could tell me some more GREAT aussie bands that would be great!
Thanks!

Check out The Screaming Jets, they've been around since the early 90's, and play kickass rock following in the footsteps of the great bands you mentioned above. They also opened for VR when they toured in 2005.
