Johnny Drama Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Shine On's still good but especially here in Australia their stuff hasn't really endured, especially after copping a lot when everyone pointed out how almost every song on Get Born was a rip off.

DR DOOM Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Should we start posting like this to compete with Len and Dazey? On topic, I don't know how Iggy and Bowie never sued Jet over "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" (as it's blatantly "Lust For Life")...considering Men At Work got done for "Land Down Under" being a rip of "Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Should we start posting like this to compete with Len and Dazey? Nah, fucken cunts round here won't get it. Seriously though, Jet were terrible. I was embarrassingly big on them when I was 13-14. At least a band like The Darkness knew they were taking the piss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hehe, at least Airbourne are still around, eh? One of the guys from TISM is the uncle of Nick from Jet ( didn't stop them taking the piss out of Jet though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Jet was great, really solid albums, all 3 of them. Fun live band too, our local rock radio station had some partnership with a local venue and they produced a Jet show for $10 per ticket - GA standing room tickets. Jet put on a great show, would love the opportunity to see them again and/or hear new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Jet were terrible, I don't know why they got so popular here in Australia.If we're talking about great Australian rock bands, The Screaming Jets shit all over Jet.The Screaming Jets are the REAL Jets, and were around for years before Jet turned up and tried to steal the name, and let's not forget that.

gunsfanoldie Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Disappointing so many people didn't like them. Guess thats why they broke up lol. They were great though. 3 really great albums, and their debut is fantastic. Killer live band as well. Luckily they'll young enough and they'll come back eventually. But seriously surprised so many people dislike them. With all the shit music we get these days they were a breath of fresh air (or air from the 70s).

Thats the first time I've ever heard that comparison, but I can see how they're kinda similar.As for them being a "load of shite" they were one of the most hardest working and most constistently touring bands in Australia throughout the 90's.I saw them more live times than I can remember from the early 90's well into the 2000's, and they always delivered a killer live rock show, every time.I think bad management and line up changes have unfortunately derailed how really great they could've gone on to become, but there's no denying that they were without a doubt the best Aussie pub rock band for a while there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Screaming Jets were great. They didn't exactly reinvent the wheel, but they've put on a fun show whenever I've seen them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
