Jet

[commieboy]

I was talking with my friends about Jet today and we couldn't decide what rock genre they were (emo, indy, hard).

could you guys give me your opinions on the subject?

thanks

[1949]

Crap.

[commieboy]

come on man i don't care if you like them or not....just help me out here.

[Ziggy]

the desperate attempt to recapture the greatness of garage rock of old. though i do enjoy they're music, they are nothing special. Just the same as the vines, strokes, white stripes, they just hoped on the bandwagon late

[socialistfuture]

i think they fit into the 'musical assholes' genre.

[Floyd.]

faux rock revivalist. Shit

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

mainstream pop rock

[Urban Rubble]

God, look at the "cool" guys proving how "hip" they are by making fun of a "totally lame" band like Jet. You guys are so cool and underground.

Jet is plain rock and roll. I don't really like them, but I'll buck the trend and resist the urge to make a "witty" comment.

"Pop" is not a genre of music, unless you choose to categorize things like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys like that.

They wear designer boots, have hairdresser haircuts and put deliberate rips in their clothes to look 'cool' as opposed to actually letting your clothes get ripped naturally. They also put shit on way better bands like The Kings of Leon. Jet are way more pop than "plain rock and roll". Jet suck arse and I'd rather to listen to the good music listen to the good music from 30 years ago that they are pathetically imitating in a lame and unoriginal way.

[commieboy]

again....i don't care how you feel about them or thier music...so far Urban rubble's seemed to be the only one to try and answer my question.

And La Vista, i'm not trying to be an ass but where did you hear about the whole "designer boots" thing? I'm curious to find this stuff out

It was in a copy of Black & White (the australian version) they had a little thing on Jet and how they were touring with the Kings of Leon and a couple of the guys fom Jet (Nick and Chris Cester) were both wearing these brand fucking new leather cowboy boots; they were not props or costume either the band was shot in their hotel room. By the way I answered your question and gave my opinion. I'd far rather listen to the Stones than Jet. Besides Jet took their name from a shit song by Wings that says it all.

You obviously like this group, otherwise you wouldn't be singly approving the only post that hasn't made a derogatory comment against Jet. And I also said what genre they belong to.


"Pop" is not a genre of music, unless you choose to categorize things like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys like that.

I said they're pop, as opposed to being indy. So it makes a difference. And they're mainstream, as opposed to being punk, progressive, new-wave, blues-rock, alternative, grunge, hardcore, etc.

[Urban Rubble]

Judging from the pic in your profile, you have NO right to talk shit about a band for caring too much about hair. You look like you stepped out of a Nirvana record. Nice bleach job cutie.

Look, I'm not saying that I like Jet or that I condone them playing dress up. What pisses me off is when people like yourself talk shit about other people's interests with the sole purpose of showing how fucking hip you are. There is no need to trash them, and by proxy the person who likes them. You can either give an answer, or if you must you can say why you don't like them in a way that doesn't make you sound like a dick. Fuck, I'm sure I hate this band just as much as you.

Good Lord. You're making fun of Jet for being too image concious, and you listen to the fucking "Stones" ? The kings of image whoring ? Mick Jagger was the most flamboyant, fashionable, trendy and FAKE frontman out of any band of all time. Before you were being rude, now you're being a straight up hypocrite.

That chicken walk that Jagger does it infinitely worse than anything Jet could ever do.




I said they're pop, as opposed to being indy. So it makes a difference.

O.K, you're right on that part, I hadn't realize he included indy in there, so yes, they aren't indy.


And they're mainstream, as opposed to being punk, progressive, new-wave, blues-rock, alternative, grunge, hardcore, etc.

I don't think mainstream is necessarilly opposed to the genre's you listed. There have been a ton of mainstream punk, new wave, blues, alternative, grunge and hardcore bands. Actually, in the case of New Wave, Alternative and Grunge, the vast majority were mainstream.

Meh. I guess.
But I was just saying that they're only plain rock, not some sub-genre. You know what I meant. At least now you do. =D

Judging from the pic in your profile, you have NO right to talk shit about a band for caring too much about hair. You look like you stepped out of a Nirvana record. Nice bleach job cutie.

I haven't payed for a haircut in over a year they're done by my friends, the last haircut I had before this was a shaven head (just ask Cthenthar) My hair isn't bleached it's at its natural colour. All of my clothes are bought second hand, I am far from trying to look trendy so shut the fuck up. My hair naturally grown in this way it has onlt been cut at the bottom of my hairlin so once it's long again I can tie it back and forget about it. Why thank you about the Nirvana comment.

good


What pisses me off is when people like yourself talk shit about other people's interests with the sole purpose of showing how fucking hip you are. There is no need to trash them, and by proxy the person who likes them.

Okay now where did I trash commie boy? It's not about how hip I am, you don't get it, it's about how fake Jet are, I don't care whether they want to wear the shit they do, but I do care that they are walking contradictions and are the opposite of what they claim. I' am a big supporter of honesty.


You can either give an answer, or if you must you can say why you don't like them in a way that doesn't make you sound like a dick.

I gave an answer I said Faux Rock-Revivalist, which is what they are. Then I gave my opinion in a very succint manner by saying "Shit." I didn't mean to sound "like a dick" and I don't think you do either but your doing it now.


Fuck, I'm sure I hate this band just as much as you.

Then shut up. I doubt it however, you've taken this away from the band and made it about me and you've attacked me without warrant. Is this personal?


Good Lord. You're making fun of Jet for being too image concious, and you listen to the fucking "Stones" ? The kings of image whoring ?

The stones were a truthful example of the kind of music Jet are trying to imitate. When did I say the stones were anything other than image whores? At least they didn't deny it don't you think?


Mick Jagger was the most flamboyant, fashionable, trendy and FAKE frontman out of any band of all time.

yes, yes, yes, no you can't seriously call Jagger fake. Deliberate would be a better word.


Before you were being rude, now you're being a straight up hypocrite.

No I'm not, however you are being rude AND vindictive with no apparent reason.


That chicken walk that Jagger does it infinitely worse than anything Jet could ever do.

What does that have to do with anything?

[Hate Is Art]

Jet are Garage Rock, simple, Chuck Berry was Rock N' Roll, Jet Aren't.

This is a true as my dick is small (I'm not ashamed).

Urban, I understand much of what you are saying, but Comrade La Vista is pretty fucking accurate, and you are being a bit of an arse (no offence).

[Urban Rubble]

God, shut up.

List off your favorite bands so I can pick them apart, please, I'd love it.

And yes Ctenthar, I am probably being an ass (it's ass not, arse, fucking land down under). I think it's insanity to make fun of a band for being over the top while simultaneously pimping the Rolling Stones. Ridiculous. You're just defending him because you're the one who bleached his hair. :lol:

It was a cheap shot though. :lol:

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Seriously, UR. I think it was a fair critique. And even if it was a bit harsh, who the fuck cares?

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Jet are just rock, you people and your fucking genres. Save it for discussion in your local NME sponsored music showcase.

Anyway anybody feel Jet sound scarily like AC/DC? I mean the actual riffs arent too far off a few AC/DC songs, not that I'm complaining, more, more, more I say.

[commieboy]

i noticed that too, but apparently AC/DC were one of their largest influences.

I'm sorry about the genre shit, but i was just curious what you would catagorize them as.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Definitely some AC/DC influences.
As well as some Stones influences.

All their songs are vaguely similar, and Are You Gonna be my Girl is a blatant rip off of Lust for Life by Iggy Pop. I also hear some Bachman Turner Overdrive influences in there.

[Floyd.]

Once and for all I already said it&#39;s my natural hair colour. Shut up and talk about something like hmmm... the topic? :huh: <_<

[BOZG]

Let&#39;s talk about dye jobs.... =D

[Don't Change Your Name]

"Cold Hard *****" sounds a lot like AC/DC. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" reminds me of Zeppelin&#39;s "Black dog" for some reason.

They are good if you ask me, probably one of the best mainstream bands nowadays. They could be classified as "modern pop hard rock" or something.

[Urban Rubble]

Seriously, UR. I think it was a fair critique. And even if it was a bit harsh, who the fuck cares?

Well, it wasn&#39;t that big of a deal until he started pimping the Stones, that was when I got actually annoyed. The Stones are guilty of every single thing that he said Jet was guilty of, only 30 years earlier.

I really don&#39;t care that much though, I don&#39;t know why this has turned into such a big thing. I just think the kid is being a total hypocrite, and I tend to deal with blatant hypocrisy harshly.


Once and for all I already said it&#39;s my natural hair colour. Shut up and talk about something like hmmm... the topic?

Yeah, because it&#39;s so common that someone has natural blonde highlights.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Could it be due to the fact that he scanned his face?

[Urban Rubble]

Perhaps it could, that isn&#39;t going to stop me from making fun of him. :ph34r: :lol: :D :P :o ;) :huh:

Could what be due to the fact that I scanned my face? The blonde? No I just have light hair. The light is uneven so the areas furtherback are plunged into darkness and the background hair looks darker perhaps giving the illusion of dyeing but I think it looks totally normal. If you like Jet you&#39;ll also like their support act Neon.

Just for you Urban Rubble I&#39;ve amended my signature.

Now let&#39;s all pick away pedantically at every little fault everyone has&#33; Like... you spelt my name wrong...

What is your problem? <_<

Considering I&#39;ve grown up with him (since kindergarden), and you haven&#39;t even met him, I think I have a better understanding of what is his real hair colour. :rolleyes:

ass

&#092;Ass&#092;, n. [OE. asse, AS. assa; akin to Icel. asni, W. asen, asyn, L. asinus, dim. aselus, Gr. ?; also to AS. esol, OHG. esil, G. esel, Goth. asilus, Dan. [ae]sel, Lith. asilas, Bohem. osel, Pol. osiel. The word is prob. of Semitic origin; cf. Heb. ath?n she ass. Cf. Ease.] 1. (Zo["o]l.) A quadruped of the genus Equus (E. asinus), smaller than the horse, and having a peculiarly harsh bray and long ears. The tame or domestic ass is patient, slow, and sure-footed, and has become the type of obstinacy and stupidity. There are several species of wild asses which are swift-footed.

Ass (as meaning the buttocks) is infact an American term. The English language originates from England, and they say &#39;arse&#39;, and hence Australia has gotten the word from there. America comes up with alot of strange words for things.

Are you being serious? Do you deliberately want to be an arsehole? If you want to be a bully, go back to fucking high school.

I know this is directed at me, but just wanted to say I&#39;m not a Rolling Stones fan.

[commieboy]

i love how the thread on the band Jet has become "the definition of ass and/or arse" thread

Congrats guys

[refuse_resist]

Jet is your typical rock group. I guess you can classify them as "alternative rock" or something else like that. Not really my style of music, though.

Wow. Let me just say, Ctenthar, I am totally clueless as to how you got so pissed off.


My favourites bands? Why don&#39;t you just critique every fucking band and musical artist in the damn universe while you are at it.

I actually wasn&#39;t even talking to you on that one, so, calm down.


Considering I&#39;ve grown up with him (since kindergarden), and you haven&#39;t even met him, I think I have a better understanding of what is his real hair colour.

Again, totally clueless why you&#39;re *****ing at me. I admitted that it could be the scanned picture that made his hair like that, and made a joke out of the fact. See, when I said you bleached his hair I was joking, you crybaby.

Wow. Again dude, that was a joke. I could really give a fuck how you spell ass and how it&#39;s proper. I was joking.

Well, no actually, I wasn&#39;t being serious.


I know this is directed at me, but just wanted to say I&#39;m not a Rolling Stones fan.

Jesus Christ dude, I wasn&#39;t talking to you, it wasn&#39;t directed at you. It was directed at your buddy, who said he was a Stones fan, yet made fun of a band for doing things that the Stones are even more guilty of.


So yeah, I actually wasn&#39;t really talking to you, and when I was I was joking around. so I have no idea how you got so angry. Must be some sort of Aussie thing.

Aussie thing? Why don&#39;t I just say you calling people &#39;crybaby&#39; and whatever is an &#39;American thing&#39;? Because it isn&#39;t.

And becasue it is a joke? :P

I think you actually explained yourself best in the La Vista &#39;hair&#39; thread. Otherwise, I would have thought you actually being an arsehole.


Urban Rubble
Listen, I don&#39;t think your hair is all that bad, I just find it incredibly funny that you make fun of a band for their hair. Even if I thought your hair was the worst thing ever, I&#39;m not such a dick that I&#39;d give you shit for it. I just said something because to me, you were being kind of an ass. I don&#39;t want you to think I was just picking on you for no reason, I&#39;m not the type to make fun of people&#39;s looks.

But I now understand that it (not the above quote - what you said in this thread) was a joke.

Okay now name one fucking instance where I said I was a Stones fan? Huh? Ex-fucking-actly I never did, I said that I&#39;d rather listen to the stones thean Jet, does that make me a fan? no&#33;

[Urban Rubble]

Did you seriously just say "ex-fucking-zactly" ?

No, you didn&#39;t say you were a Stones "fan". You said that you prefer them over Jet, which implies that you ignored the idotic things the Stones do/did while calling Jet on theirs.

Now please, shut up.

[Nic8]

Jet is American Trad Rock.

[Jesus Christ]

Jet is.....



























total shit

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

They&#39;re certainly better than hardcore and emo.

Sorry, I just felt like I&#39;d jump on the "criticize-peoples&#39;-music-taste" bandwagon. :P

but i like criticism, just makes me like what i like even more :P

[Nic8]

I actually kind of like Jet, and I&#39;m usually pretty hard on new mainstream music. I don&#39;t look at pictures of Jet nor watch MTV nor would I pay to see them in concert, so it doesn&#39;t matter that much thay they rip their pants to be cool or are fashion hores. It will, though, be interesting to see if they can make another decent album after they&#39;ve gone mainstream. I really doubt it.

[Floyd.]

I know what genre Jet are it&#39;s a new one called &#39;commercial medley&#39; where they play parts of other peoples songs blended together and compressed in a really shit manner like Weird Al only he has more talent than Jet.

[codyvo]

Honestly, I don&#39;t think Jet is that shitty. Their music sounds pretty good, whether they are corporate fuckheads or not I don&#39;t think they suck that bad.

[el nicaraguense]

they fall annoying catagory
