Jet...the new Ac/dc?


Saw these disheveled, denim-clad hipsters on Conan O...and was throughly unimpressed...sounded like a bunch of half-baked, b-grade 70s pub rock riffage...which come to think of it..is kinda cool! Whatz up!

It seems this retro-stuff is coming on strong, just like The Darkness (A thing called love). I like it, actually..... not new, but fun, energy, and good musicians, like megasam said: better then most MTV-crap. Especially The Darkness is pretty good playing live, don't know about Jet yet.....
Got the JET album at Best Buy for $9.99........pretty good but has 4-5 slow/mid tempo bluesy ballads which are not my cup of tea.....more interested in straight ahead rockers like video song. So I got 6-7 good songs on this CD for me,
not quite as good as Strokes, Vines, Hives etc in my book.
Bought the Cd...pretty cool in the classic stones-y, cock rock way...with some surprising tender blues ballads thrown in for good mix...fans of Stones,Ac/dc,Kinks, and kickass bar rock will not be let down...lotta fun..play very loud...
New AC/DC? Naw. BUT, these guys can play! I saw them on SNL and had to buy their album. I especially appreciate that they are simply plugging Les Pauls into Marhalls and turning them up to the obligatory 11. No pedals, no effects, and the recording doesn't sound terribly overproduced like a lot of Nu Metal (although I do like Nickleback and Puddle of Mudd).

What is amazing is that this band seems to be able to go from AC/DC-like rock stompin' to Beetles-esque balladry in a snap. The lead singer has a very good voice. I eagerly await a follow-up effort.
Yes I saw them on SNL , and was impressed. Nice to hear some real rock and roll . Long Live Rock !
