Jet

[Lady Livin]

lets just say once i was playing Takin care of business on guitar and people said "oh cool Rollover DJ i love that song". thats what annoys me.

wow, you're right. sorry BTO.

[N.I.B]

first off. i think the sites funny.

i love jet, n i love the sound they make. when u think about it, all rock music comes from base riffs and sounds created by predesssors. it all coms from the same tree.

I saw their first Videoclip on MTV and they are very good. good band. I love their music and their style, old-fashion Rock n' Roll style you know... I think they can be popular. They have potencial.

[Izzy]

If they added some solo's and had a little more aggression then i might like 'em, at the mo they are just typical MTV rock, i.e average.

[TheLizardKid]

I think they are really awful. Just don't see the attraction at all.

Dammit not another Jet thread...

[GNR_Green]

if you look back several pages there will be that funny Jet thread with a link to that web-site!  I think jet are a bollocks band, but I'm sure I'll get plenty of opportunities to hear their new stuff.

[Wheres Izzy]

I am not a fan. Their first song "are you gonna be my girl" was alrite. Slash said it best when he called them diluted AC/DC. Everything from the singer to the guitars is softer. Their new song "look what you've done" has a cool Beatles vibe at first but ends up being extremely monotonous. And "roll over dj" might be the worst lyrics of any song I have ever heard. That song makes Milli Vanilli Lyrics sound like Morrison.

Oh God, they must be bad then, AC/DC are boring enough.

Boring? How the fuck can pure rock n roll with agggresive riffs and solo's and 2 excellent frontmen Bon Scott and Brian Johnon be boring?

Jet are massive in Australia i guess cos there from here. They did an extensive tour in the states that got them some publicity which i guess was the reason they won an Mtv award. But they haven't cracked the states yet. And i don't think the U.K knows much about them.

I can't stand Jet, I'm embarrassed as an Australian that they are representing our country in the "rock" genre.

They sound just like Slash said - diluted AC/DC. I don't get why a band that sounds like really average rehashed Stones / AC/DC / Beatles is so popular in 2004.

But I guess if the radio/video channels feed the "sheep" enough crap, eventually the "sheep" will start buying and listening to them.

Damn, I hate popular music...

Jet Breaks Up

Australian rockers Jet, best known for their 2003 anthem "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," have called it quits.

In a message posted to the group's website, the quartet announced that its members -- Nic Cester, Mark Wilson, Cameron Muncey and Chris Cester -- are parting ways. "After many successful years of writing, recording and touring we wish to announce our discontinuation as a group," reads the message. "From the many pubs, theatres, stadiums and festivals all across the world it was the fans that made our amazing story possible and we wish to thank them all. Thank you, and goodnight."

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl," the garage-rock cut from first album "Get Born," was featured in a 2003 Apple iPod commercial and has sold 1.3 million downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Get Born," which also featured "Cold Hard Bitch" and "Rollover DJ," has sold 1.7 million copies in the U.S., while their final two full-lengths, 2006's "Shine On" and 2009's "Shaka Rock," combined for 212,000 U.S. copies.

That sucks I always liked this band

[metallex78]

That's great I always thought this band sucked!

[Is he struggling?]

I won't miss 'em.

[cotis]

Didn't even know they were still together?
