Jet

[Mad Macca]

I did a search and found no results, so shut this if there is already a thread.

So is there anyone else who likes the band Jet?
From Melbourne Australia the four piece band includes Nic Cester (guitar/vocals), Chris Cester (drums/vocals), Cameron Muncey (guitar/vocals), Mark Wilson (bass).
Their music stands for everything that is raw, primitive, direct and loose about rock music, and influences of theirs have said to include Rolling Stones, Beatles, Oasis, AC/DC, The Who, The Kinks.
If your a fan of rock music, especially old rock, Jet is the band for you!
Here is their website to read more http://www.jettheband.com/

I am a great fan of Jet, my favourite songs off their album "Get Born" are Last Chance, Roll over DJ, Look What You've done and Radio Song.

What are your favourite songs?
Who's your favourite member?

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only Jet fan here, so come on guys! speak up!

[Loz]

Their music rocks, but I'm not really into them in the "i want to know their exact life details" way. I like "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Cold Hard Witch" the most.

[Mad Macca]

:lol: Cold hard Twitch is also a favourite of mine, but I didn't know how to say it :D

[MadMagic]

I'm trying to pick my favorite songs off 'Get Born' right now, and I find myself writing down pretty much all them. I'll list my favorites anyway...
Look What You've Done, Move On, Radio Song, Get me Outta here, Cold Hard witch, Come around again.
In case you can't tell, I'm really enjoying my 'Get Born' cd at the moment.
I thought it was funny that Macca and I wer chatting a few weeks ago and she couldn't believe I had even heard of Jet.
Did anyone else see them on SNL last Saturday with Elijah Wood?

[WhiteSlash]

I just got the CD, and but I haven't listened to it yet. I really like, Are you gonna be my girl.

[Aranel]

Hmm yessum, I quite enjoy the melodies of Jet... Quite good, and I don't usually like music that is of recent times.
I also didn't know that people from places other than Aust. knew about them...
How did you all hear about em aye?

[MadMagic]

I saw a their 'Are you gonna be my girl' music video on either MTV or MTV2 a while ago. I remember it because I was intrigued by the way it seems like it is being drawn (bad description).

[Loz]

They're popular in Britain and America. They're pretty huge by Oz standards. Like Silverchair in their hey-day!

Better Jet than Kylie Minogue, that's what I say :D

[Mad Macca]

I know what you mean Maggie. The album art and video clip is kindof, Revolver-ish.
I say! Jet is doing a wonder for the Australian music industry!

[FizzingWhizbee]

Oh! I love "Are you Gonna Be My Girl?" and "Cold Hard Ditch"... very catchy tunes.

Did anyone see them on SNL a few weeks ago?

[Padfoot127]

I said are you gonna be my girl? :D I love that song... When ever I hear it I start jumping around the room and then people look at me weird so I stop... But then I start again when they aren't looking.

[dumbleedore]

I got the CD for christmas, but haven't listened to it yet- had The Beatles on instead :p

But I love 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl?' and it's the only song I don't whinge about the radio station playing at 6am and waking me up :p

[Mad Macca]

Thats for sure!

They're playing at Big Day Out!! And I can't go!! :upset:

[dumbleedore]

My sister apparently has backstage tickets to the BDO, but she hasn't said anything else about them.

I am totally going to that next year.

[Aranel]

*stomps foot in childlike manner* NO FAIR! NO FAIR!
Everyone gets everything, and I never ever do!

[JofpGallagher]

Jet is a great band and I'm looking forward fr future albums :agree:

In my opinion they are a mix between Fool's Garden and The Vines. When I listened for the first time Look What You've Done I immediately thought that Fool's Garden had a new album, later I learned it was a band called Jet and since I'm a big Fool's Garden fan, and reading other recommendations I bought Get Born. If you really like Jet, and Look What You've Done is among your favorites songs by Jet, then you may enjoy Fools Garden's tunes. But if you like the more rocker songs like Last Chance and Are You Gonna Be My Girl you may enjoy The Vines (Another Australian band ;) )

The entire album is really good, and I like many songs. I could mention:
Are you Gonna Be My Girl
Look What You've Done
Rollover DJ
Timothy

[Mad Macca]

OH Jen your sister is so lucky! This isnt fair! :no: I wanna go see them! :(

Thanks JofpGallagher! I dont really get to listen to the Vines, and I havent heard of Fool'd Garden before, but I'll keep an ear open for them! :)

[chow mein]

I've only heard the songs "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Look What You've Done" - but so far, I like what I've heard :D

[Aranel]

Apparently Daniel Radcliffe likes 'em! He has mighty fine taste.

Well, BDO tomorrow, a few of my friends are going, and I am green with envy!

[Loz]

Dan has good taste indeed.

I have to thank our commander and chief Morgoth for my liking of Jet :D

They're one of the few up-and-coming groups I don't mind them raving on about all the time :)

I've always wanted to go to the Big Day Out, but alas, it has never meant to be. Maybe next year.

[Mad Macca]

Yeah, My friend is just teasing now, that within 24 hours he will have seen them live! How unfair!

[dumbleedore]

Don't fret- the tickets didn't come through.

But I am totally going next year :D

[Mad Macca]

Me too :D
We should all go and meet up :D

[dumbleedore]

Yeah- that'd be awesoem

Only thing is the tickets are like $100 each.

Christmas presents... :D

[Mad Macca]

Sounds like the way to go!
It's worth it though, look at all the other groovy people who's playing there! Jet, Muse, the Casanovas, Metallica, The Dandy Warhols, Black Eyed Peas, The Strokes. I don't listen to half of them, but it'd be way worth it to see Jet!

[dumbleedore]

My sisters been twice and she said it's the best thing since sliced bread.

[Mad Macca]

Wow, it must be pretty good then! :D

[ginnybatbogeysyou]

I've only heard one Jet song. It's "Are you gonna be my girl" and I think it's great! A great song to sing in the bathroom. :lol:

[dumbleedore]

Erm. if you say so GBBY :p Never done it myself :D

[Mad Macca]

:lol:
Well, reports from Big Day out where Jet performed. A huge Mosh Pit, they played heaps of their songs, and I can only remember COld Hard Witch out of them, I can re-ask my friend.

[dumbleedore]

Should have just watched it on Channel V- hey, save money on tickets- let's just have a BDO party and watch it on V :p

Oh- don't know if anyone else has mentioned this- Dan Radcliffe is a Jet fan!!! Whoot!!!

[ginnybatbogeysyou]

Erm. if you say so GBBY :p Never done it myself :D
You should try. You will please the neighbours with it! :lol:

[swishandflick]

Everyones a rock star when they listen to a great song in the bathroom :P . I listened to thier album online--thier really good! It makes me want to practice guitar more often :). Is "Are you gonna be my girl" a remake? It sounds familiar...but I don't know if thats just part of thier whole sound. My favorites are Radio Song and Cold Hard (Female Dog).

[dumbleedore]

You should try. You will please the neighbours with it! :lol:

:lol: my neighbours already hate it when I'm home alone and I start singing soppy love songs, let alone rock songs :D

The last time I was singing in the shower we had guests and I didn't know it, so I'm never doing it again!!!

[Courtz]

I'm Australian and Jet are my favourite band! I love them! I like Rollover DJ better than Are You Gonna Be My Girl, because it sounds kind freaky when I sing it, since I'm a girl. But Dan Radcliffe's a Jet fan, which is good. :)

[Mad Macca]

Its cool, hopefully he'll spread the words about them!

[dumbleedore]

He already is- some magazine editor thanked him for getting them onto Jet!!!

I have Loz to thank- she mentioned them in her diary and I listened out for them, then asked for the CD for Christmas.

[Mad Macca]

Jet's going on tour!! But its 18's over! :upset: :upset:

[FizzingWhizbee]

Okay, who is who in the band? I absolutely cannot find a good site that names each band member with a pic. And which two are the brothers? Eek!

[SilverStar]

I didn't hear about them until Dan Radcliffe said he liked them, and what do you know I turn on the radio one day and they're on!! They must have released that song "Are You Gonna be My Girl" in the U.S. Yay!

[RubberSoul]

I love Jet. As obvious, I guess, with my sig...I love their raw sound, and the fact that they turn to the originals of rock & roll for inspiration. And I love Chris Cester's (the drummer) hat in the video for 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. It looks like the ones that Ringo and John wore in a Hard Day's Night.

Fizzing Whizbee, the two brothers are the lead guitarist and the drummer Nick and Chris. I tried to find a site with the names and a pic, but geez, you'd think that everyone already knew which one was which. So I'm not sure about the other two.

[swishandflick]

The wierd and cool thing about Jet is that they are sort of like a unit at the moment. I don't really know thier individual names either. Maybe its just because its a new band. However, in the Red Hot Chili Peppers everyone knows Anthony and Flea, and I'm pretty sure its always been like that. Jet is just...the bestest :) .

[dumbleedore]

Jet's going on tour!! But its 18's over! :upset: :upset:
Oh gee, what a pity... :lol:

[Mad Macca]

nasty Jen! Not happy Jan! But I think I heard that if after all their tickets sell out the might decide to hold a non-over 18s gig.... I'll do WHATEVER it takes to go to that concert!

[dumbleedore]

Well, if you want to go that badly *cough*getyourselfafakeid*cough*

Any idea where the concerts are? If there is one in Canberra I'll def go!

[swishandflick]

The 18 and over rule is probably not a "real" rule. I went to see Bush in concert, at it was in a club and they were serving alcohol. I never checked to see if the show was an 18 and over show (I was 15 at the time), but it probably was. I was in London so I could get away with alot back then :) . Its a strange rule though, I don't even think Jet really curses in thier music.

[dumbleedore]

The Whitlams were playing in town at the club and they were so insistant about the 18+ rule. They were having it in the audotorium where I've been so many times when they were serving alcohol but they wouldn't let me in- even with parental supervision.

[SilverStar]

I've never heard of tours having age requirements!!! That's crazy!!!!! We don't have those in the U.S.........you can go to whatever concert you want!! Geez.

But if the performance is in a bar, that makes sense.

[dumbleedore]

Most concerts in Australia do have age requirements- usually 18+, cause that's the legal age. A lot will have 2 shows- an 18+ only and an 18- only. That's what Dashboard did in Melbourne.

[SilverStar]

hhhmmmm....very interesting!! Over here, you can't drink until you're 21.

[flibbertigibbet]

I'd heard from a couple of forum members that Jet were good, so when they played on SNL I took notice. I don't have their CD yet but it's a serious contender for the next one I buy :)

[SilverStar]

Yeah I need to hear another song from their cd!!

[FoolOnTheHill]

RubberSoul... what an excellent username...

Anyway! I just bought the Get Born album yesterday and it is rockin cool. I listened to it last week at a cd store and decided I need to own it and I found it at a decent price finally.

Well I don't have a whole lot to say, I thought I'd just announce that I'm a fan now. :lol:

[dumbleedore]

Yay! More people in our evil plot to take over the world through Jet music-

Oh ****- shouldn't have said that...

*goes into Hagrid mode*

[Mad Macca]

Shh Jen! :p

I recommend listening to Radio Song, and Cold hard ***** (witch with a B instead of W)

[dumbleedore]

I haven't actually listened to the CD in a while- might put it on tonight- been meaning to put it on the computer actually. I heard 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' the other night but *dreamy look*

[Tim the Wiz]

I'm quite late to the Jet thread party but I have to say I love their music as much as Kings of Leon.

Fave songs:

"Rollover DJ"
"Are you gonna be my girl"

Anyways I unofficially declare myself the biggest Jet fan in the world :D

You'll see me talking to them when they do take over the world ;)

[dumbleedore]

Haven't you been listening at our meetings Tim? Once Jet take over the world we take over them and become evil overlords...

Oh. I did it again :lol:

[Tim the Wiz]

If no-one has a call on Head Evil Overlord. I call it now! ;)

[Mad Macca]

Aww, what about me! I started the thread! :p

[dumbleedore]

Hey- what about me? :lol:

Mmm... listening to Jet now... good 'wake up' music...

[RubberSoul]

Be democratic about this :p


RubberSoul... what an excellent username...
Thanks...I adore that album!

I was looking at the pamphlet from the CD and saw that Billy Preston plays keyboards on the album...awesome.

[Mad Macca]

I noticed that the other week too, and that made my day! how awesome is that!
Speaking of the inside slip, is it just me or does everyone else think that the inside picture is just so funky!

[dumbleedore]

Inside picture... dang, it's gone on me...

I just think the 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' film clip is the coolest.

[RubberSoul]

Speaking of the inside slip, is it just me or does everyone else think that the inside picture is just so funky!

The photograph of them with the coffee? Or the drawings? Either way, both of them are really cool and classic! I love how the drawings are like the ones in the Are You Gonna Be My Girl video.

[Mad Macca]

It reminds me of "Revolver" album cover of the Beatles

[FoolOnTheHill]

Hey you're right Maccy, it does look kind of like Revolver.

This Lazy Gun song is cool. The chorus is all right, but I really like the verses, they sound so cool.

[Morgoth]

Jet are a fabulous group, really good. I discovered them thanks to NME (http://www.nme.com), which really tout new indie bands in the UK. Get Born was one of the first albums dumped onto my iPod when I got it. Rumor has it that Jet will be the support band at future Oasis live shows in the UK and Europe, which would be an amazing combination of musical might :D

I really like Rollover DJ, it should be number 1 the world over!!!

[Mad Macca]

Yeah. I was thrilled when I went to the footy the other night, they were playing some of the highlights from last season, and the song they played for background music was Cold Hard Ditch.
Oooh! In Drum Media this week they have a big ad for Jet's concerts in Australia! They are playing at somewhere in woolongong, the metro and I think it was somewhere in penrith... Anyway, they are coming back home after their US tour with a few other Aussie bands, dubbed the 'Aussie invasion'.

[skorpionflicka]

i couldnt stand them..but after i heard the same song over and over again i started to sing it all the time..and i liked it grr....its always like that. songs i dont like end up being my every day song..not good..because i want to shut up myself..but i cant stand them anymore...again..maybe i´ll like them tomorrow?

[Mad Macca]

The other bands that are going are The Vines and The Living End.

[dumbleedore]

Checking out the Aus dates now- I might go just to tease you Jess :lol:

[Mad Macca]

Grrmm. If you do go, I expect autographs :p

[dumbleedore]

Yeah, like I'm gonna manage that.

[Mad Macca]

You will - you'll get autographs for everyone here! :evil:

[Courtz]

<3 this thread!

I have birthday money left over, I'm going to use it to buy the Jet album and some other CDs. Two of my friends elsewhere have the album, I'm so jealous!

Look What You've Done has been on the radio and channel [v], I love the song! It's a bit more of a slow song, but it's Jet so it doesn't matter!

[Mad Macca]

OH is there a video clip for it?

[Courtz]

Yes it's been on Channel [v]! It's really quite good, but probably not as good as Are You Gonna Be My Girl.

[Mad Macca]

Hmm, I dont get channel V

[Courtz]

Oh, well, I'm sure it's going to be on Video Hits, Rage etc. quite soon since it's already being played on radio!

[Mad Macca]

Yep, I checked their playlist and its going to be on early hours saturday morning on rage.

Get Born went gold in the US!!!

[dumbleedore]

Whoot! Go Jet!

I'm not going to the concert :( It's on on the 6th of May, two weeks before I go to Queensland. Rob's mate was gonna get me tickets- but it was a Thursday and I would have had to come home after the concert and the road from Wollongong to where I live is awful and I didn't really want to drive it in the day time either :(

Next time :D

[Mad Macca]

Aww fair enough.
They should (hope) be playing at Homebake or BigDayOut this year. Go then :D

[dumbleedore]

Might go to BDO- always wanted to go :D

[Mad Macca]

I'm going this year. hopefully John Butler Trio will be playing too :D

[dumbleedore]

Awesomeness Jesso :D

I just hope the parentals will let me go :lol: I highly doubt it- even though it will be like, two weeks before I turn 19.

[Mad Macca]

Mum actually told me I had to go to an outdoors concert :lol:

[dumbleedore]

^ can we swap mum's? :lol:

Mine panics when I got to the club on a Friday night!

[Mad Macca]

Get real :lol:

Jet's sold heaps of albums in the USA, I think it was over half a million, but i forget...

[dumbleedore]

Jet have sold lots of albums everywhere :lol:

[Courtz]

And they'll sell at least one more this weekend...

:D I'm getting their album on Saturday if I get out of bed early enough.

[Crazy CHaser]

My friend Krystyna burned me a copy of the Jet CD. I've listened to it quite a few times. I really like "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?", "Last Chance", and the 3rd song on it.... I forget what it's called.

[Mad Macca]

Did I say I watched the video clip? It rocks!

[dumbleedore]

I think you did, Jesso.

[Mad Macca]

:lol:
Right
OH! They were on Rove where you get to pick which bits you wanted to see again. They rocked

[dumbleedore]

I've been missing Rove lately... the TV is just so far away!!!

[Mad Macca]

:lol: Well, you missed Jet, and they were so cool.

[dumbleedore]

Rub it in next time :lol:

I think it's time to move to a bigger city :p Lucky Vancouverites today. Jet and The Vines!

I did finally get the CD (and The Vines too) and I'm so enjoying every bit of it. It's the perfect mix of slow and fun songs and Jet just sound so cool. :cool:

[dumbleedore]

I've got the concert in 2 places nearby and I can't go :lol:

Next time :D

And yes- they do rule :D

[Mad Macca]

Shame... guess I'll have to wait for that autograph :lol:

[dumbleedore]

Next time Jesso :lol:

[SilverStar]

I saw the new "Cold Hard ...." video this morning! I was excited.

[Kellen]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but apparently Jet have done a track for the new Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. It's a slow number by all accounts, I can't wait to hear, I'm a massive fan of this group, totally rockin'!

[Courtz]

Wow, Spiderman 2? Really? That's so awesome! And I saw a Jet video on Channel [v] yesterday, it was one I hadn't seen before but I don't know what it was called. It wasn't Look What You've Done, or Cold Hard ..., it was another song. I just can't think of the name of it!

[dumbleedore]

I was watching MTV the other night and Look What You've Done came on- it was number 17 in the top 20, followed at 15 by Are You Gonna Be My Girl.

It was a Jet-Liscious night :D

[Mad Macca]

:lol:

Interesting! I'll have to check Rage's playlist see if it'll be on this weekend (Cold hard Twitch, that is)

Love the sig Kellen!
Interesting! Does anybody know when the Spide 2 soundtrack comes out then?

[dumbleedore]

I don't even know when the movie comes out :lol:

I don't know if this has been mentioned but apparently Jet have done a track for the new Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. It's a slow number by all accounts, I can't wait to hear, I'm a massive fan of this group, totally rockin'!

I reckon it could be Look What You've Done- I reckon (even though I'm not a Spidey fan) it fits in with the movie.

[Kellen]

I reckon it could be Look What You've Done- I reckon (even though I'm not a Spidey fan) it fits in with the movie.

Yes, you're right dumbleedore, Mark Wilson told NME "It's a slow tune, it's probably the slowest (tune we've done). It's a 'Look What You've Done' kind of tune." Apparently they're recording the song next week, so hopefully we'll see it around July time on the soundtrack :)

[dumbleedore]

I might buy the soundtrack for just that reason- Look What You've Done is my fav Jet song- I might be the only one who hears this, but it's kinda got a Beatle's like feel to it...

[Kellen]

I get a Beatles vibe from the song as well, so you're not alone. :)

[dumbleedore]

The first time I heard it was in the car and my CD player is on shuffle and I thought that whilst changing the CD I'd put the wrong one in :lol: I went to the next song and it was Are You Gonna Be My Girl and I knew that it was the right CD.

[Mad Macca]

I get a whole Beatles vibe from the whole CD. Even their boots are Beatley!

[dumbleedore]

There is another song that gave me 'The Beatles' but I can't think of it and I can't listen and find out either- I've lost the CD- again.

[Patrice]

hehehe. I like Jet...weirdo hairstyles though, and I can play look what you've doneon the guitar so needless to say i play it all the time!

[dumbleedore]

hehehe. I like Jet...weirdo hairstyles though, and I can play look what you've doneon the guitar so needless to say i play it all the time!
That's it- you've got to come and follow me around and play that non-stop :lol:

[Patrice]

hehehe. i'll have to. i'm trying to work out the piano to it at the moment but as my sister's wedding is on saturday i don't really have time (and it would wake my other sister's baby up)

[Mad Macca]

Well, when you figure the piano part out, give me a yelp :D

[dumbleedore]

Or record it and post a link to it :D I'd love to hear it.

[WhiteSlash]

I'm listening to them right now

My mom was gunna buy tickets, but she couldn't. :(

[Mad Macca]

strange coincidence Meli, I am too :p

[WhiteSlash]

Very Strange...

;)

[Courtz]

Jet is playing at Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on May 20. Wish I could go, oh I wish I could go. But I live 3 hours away from the city. :S

[dumbleedore]

Don't worry Courtz- I've got 2 Jet concerts near me and I can't go to either :(.

Next time :D

[Courtz]

Hehe, yeah.

Well at least the concerts are near you... ;P

[dumbleedore]

Not really- it was a 2 hour drive to Wollongong- and back that night to go to work the next day or a 3 hour drive to Sydney and back again that night.

[Mad Macca]

i'm sure they'll play at Homebake or Big Day Out, so we all will go then! :D

[dumbleedore]

Homebake wouldn't be too bad- all Aussie :D

[Mad Macca]

Yeah :D John Butler Trio too hopefully! The waifs!

[Charmed]

Homebake rules! I have been the past two years. Hopefully I will be back for the third.
I haven't purchased Get Born yet but I intend to. I absolutely love Look what you've Done and I have Are you going to be my girl as my ringtone(momentarily replaced Powderfinger).

[dumbleedore]

There's apparently a special edition 'Get Born' coming out Charmed, with a DVD. Might wanna wait until that :D

[Mad Macca]

Well, thats what Rove said, if anyone caught that. I taped it, so I'll watch it again to clarify.

Also, Jet have a fifth member, or so it seems, playing the keyboard!

[FloydTheBarber]

Their song Cold Hard ***** is catchy.

[Patrice]

They're on [V] in two days WOO!

[swishandflick]

I love the new Jet video. Its going to be hard to top thier first 2 videos, but Im sure they'll do a good job, they do very quirky videos.

[Mad Macca]

Anyone who lives in Sydney might want to head down to Utopia records on Sunday ( 505 - 525 George Street in the city) because JET IS SIGNING CD'S!!!!!!!!!!

[Aoweil]

Their song Cold Hard ***** is catchy.

I know what you mean, I keep wanting to sing it out loud, but I have to catch myself at the last minute since I'm not sure my mom or dad would appreciate it much! :lol:
I bought "Get Born" a couple of weeks ago, and I listen to it quite often. Me likes it very much :D !

[SilverStar]

I got Jet's cd. I'm listening to it right now, hoping it will cheer me up. It usually works; I end up headbanging. haha

[dumbleedore]

I've really gotta move closer to the city!!!

[Chartreuse]

Aaaah! I'm totally into Jet! "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" is stuck on my head right now. Wish to hear more of them :)

[FoolOnTheHill]

I am most likely going to see Jet on July 24th in Hollywood! :clap: :clap: I haven't bought the tickets yet but once they go on sale I'm getting them. I'm so excited that I just had to come brag here. :p

[WhiteSlash]

Dang you fool!

You have to be 18 or something to get into that one...I got all excited too...

Is it the one at the House of Blues?

[FoolOnTheHill]

Yep, its at the House of Blues, but I think its for all ages. I might be wrong though...

[WhiteSlash]

It is! For all ages too

They went on Sale today it said, and we tried to get tickets, but it wouldn't work yet...:(

We may just go there and buy them.

[FoolOnTheHill]

It didn't work for me either. You'd think if there was a link on the HOB page to ticketmaster, that we could actually buy tickets. The internet is stupid...

Oh well, we'll get them somehow! :D

[SilverStar]

Jet is coming here on July 7th!! (well, they're coming to Columbus, an hour away; my town doesn't have any concert venues). I'm so excited!!

[WhiteSlash]

It didn't work for me either. You'd think if there was a link on the HOB page to ticketmaster, that we could actually buy tickets. The internet is stupid...

Oh well, we'll get them somehow! :D

My mom is going to the Box Office on Tuesday if they don't work by then.
:)

Yup, somehow. :)

[SilverStar]

Does Jet have an official website?

[WhiteSlash]

http://www.jettheband.com/jet/

There you go! :D

(I tried the tickets again. Still don't work.)

[SilverStar]

Thanks whiteslash! That's an awesome website!

[WhiteSlash]

I got them!

Not the for the show in Hollywood, but the one at Downtown Disney!

Who cares!

I'm seeing Jet!

And if we can get them, we're gunna sell the tickets and go to the one in Hollywood. :)

We're gunna have to drive a couple hours and sleep over though.

[Mad Macca]

*green with envy* No fair!

[onyxmoon]

you lucky *astrd :)

[Droobles]

OMG! I love Jet! they are my fav band.
I love Rollover Dj and R U Gonna be my girl.

[skullkid]

I love Jet,sadly I don't think they will come to Mexico anytime soon.*sob* :upset: They're not that popular here. :sad: :sad: :sad:
Their other singles(Look what you've done and cold hard ****)were never released here.

[sergorat]

Well, Jet isn't the best band in the world. They don't bring anything new. Listen to led zeppelin or deep purple.

but jet is not as bad as other bands in the charts and i'd like to a concert ,too. :eyebrows:

[Mad Macca]

Tickets go on sale for a Sydney show in a week or two, all those who are interested :D

[dumbleedore]

Agh- you beat me Jesso :D

I was so excited when I saw they go on sale and went and looked up the date- it's a THURSDAY night... I cannot go to concerts on Thursday nights- specially in Sydney.

Not. Happy. Jan.

[Mad Macca]

Ooooh, thursday... Might not be good. School night. WHO CARES! :lol: Its all ages! YAY, and it'll be at the same place as JBT :p

You should have said Not.Happy. Jen :lol:

[Classical_Wizar]

I like the cold hard, dont have the cd but then i dont have a lot of cds.

[dumbleedore]

I won't be able to go :( Not alone anyway and I know no one who would go to Sydney on a Thursday night with me, that I don't work with :p

Next time :D

[Mad Macca]

Aww, I'll be there :D

[dumbleedore]

*goes green with envy*

[IndyPotter]

I like Jet a lot, not as much as Oasis but they are still a very good band. They are better then the rest of the new rock bands today, especially trash like The Darkness. The state of music today is shameful, good thing that some bands like Jet give a glimmer of hope.

[benv]

got the cd, got the t-shirt, seen them live and met the singer in a bar near the venue so yeah I like them :tu:

[Mad Macca]

I've got to agree with you Indy :agree: But there are other great new bands out there too, they just aren't very well known outside of Australia (or even Triple J, a radio station, for some people here!)

Oh, your very lucky benv! And :welcome: to COSForums :)

EDIT: Looks like I'll be going to see Jet at the Hordern Pavillion! :clap:

[fllama]

Aww, if I had found this thread earlier when I searched (and I did, like three times lol) then I wouldn't have been the daft flobberworm that I am, and posted another thread .. *looks downcast* but alas, Mad Macca referred me and by the way MM: You're seeing them on Thursday?!?! *dies* ..

*goes into depression*

[Mad Macca]

I KNOW! :clap: Im heaps excited! Ive had to force myself into not listening to their CD for the last 2 weeks from going insane :lol:. Im looking forward to it, I think, just from watching the ARIAs, they'll be rather entertaining blokes :lol:

[Wep]

i like jet and they are good live..but the whole David Bowie thing and Vodaphone thing has diminshed my ability to listen to a particular hit song

[fllama]

Yeah, I saw them on Rove Live - they gots a sense of humour. Oh my, tomorrow is Thursday - you're seeing them on Thursday, therefore you shall be seeing them tomorrow *eyes well up*
*lip trembles*
..if anything, try and get a hold of their underwear for me - I shall be with you in spirit :D
---------
e lovegood: What David Bowie and vodafone thing ??

[Mad Macca]

WOW! The guys were awesome!! I had such a great time! :D
Before the show me and my friend went off in search of a bathroom, and as we were coming back to the line, who else do we see... but CAM AND CHRIS!!! standing there! having an interview! So we went over and watched them and waved, trying (unsuccessfully) to be quiet for their interview! :lol:.
I'll try and find a set list they played, but afterwards they threw their drumsticks and pics and bottles of water out into the crowd, and my mate caught their water bottle!

[SilverStar]

OMG Macca, I am beyond jealous. :wow:

[Mad Macca]

They played a few new songs! I think they will be on their next album, they were heaps good :D. When we were singing "Look What You've Done" and "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", Nick said we were better at singing it than Melbourne! :D

[Wep]

Bit excited jess?

I see them in a month at Homebake...will be interesting to see them at the festival (mind you it will be bedlam when they play)

Oh and the david bowie thing (listen to the riff in "Are you going to be my girl"...and way too much airplay with the vodaphone ad)

[fllama]

Ah *winks* gotcha

--

MACCA! YOU AWESOME DUDENESS! *is insanely jealous*

Oh, but wait, I was there in spirit *nods* (Yes I shall just keep convincing myself) *whistels idly*

[Mad Macca]

Hey Em, I might be going to Homebake too! :D My friend doesn't want her ticket anymore so I offered to buy it off her!

Ahahaha, of course you were fllama! (haha, man I LOVE llamas!)

Did you guys hear about the DVD Jet are releasing? I forget what it was called

[Padfoot II]

Was it just me or did this thread fail to mentiont that they got 6 ARIAS!!!!!!!!!

if u did mention this i am teribly embarassed coz i didnt read all the posts! (shame)

their DVD is gonna be callled "Right Right Right". should be really good (another one for the christmas list hehehehe)

I am beginning to get vvjealous of the people on this thread who are going to see them live!!

[Wep]

Definately go....the lineup is excellent I am so excited!

And I had a feeling they'd wipe out the ARIA's...though it would have been nice to see Dan Kelly pick one up or Eskimoe Joe, but better than more of the idols getting them, or Delta

[fllama]

Yeah I am glad Jet got those ARIA's - .. but I have to say I'm glad Delta didn't get any, I'm kinda over her *runs and hides and waits for abuse* lol

Ooh I can't wait to get the DVD - I'll be getting theirs as well as Switchfoot's *begins singing off key*

:: I dare you to moooooooooove, I dare you to moooooooooooove.. ::

And yeah. I know, llamas rock. Yes, yes indeed they do. :cool:

[SilverStar]

Behold the avatar. :tu:

They played new songs Macca? Awesome! When is their next album coming out?

[Mona]

I love them :) Radio and Get Me Outta Here are my favourite songs on Get Born. There seems to be an awful lot of people seeing them live :upset: Wish I could go. I'll just have to wait for the DVD.
By the way, nice avatar. John Butler, right? :tu:

[dumbleedore]

OMG! Em and Jess- yous going to Homebake *squeals*

So going now... *races off to message mates*

[Wep]

Jen I highly recommend it....I am so excited only, what 5 weeks...Ohh and the line up is awesome!!!! :clap:

[Loui]

Do they have a song called - Are You Gonna Be My Girl??

[dumbleedore]

Jen I highly recommend it....I am so excited only, what 5 weeks...Ohh and the line up is awesome!!!! :clap:
I have to organise Craig or someone to bring cause my folks wouldn't let me go alone. But I'm so going.

Loui, that's Jet's signature song :D

[Wep]

Oh work on them Jen...and you won't be alone I'll be there :D

[dumbleedore]

Yeah, but, yeah :p Nah- Craig's coming and we'll be in Syd for the night I think.

[Wep]

so you're going...Oh its going to be great!!! :D

[EuphoricDys4ia]

I'll admit it, I love JET. I think that their best song is probably the one that is like...take my photo off the wall if it just wont sing for you...<--- haha I'm too lazy to check for the title, but that's my fave :)

[Mad Macca]

Yeah its John Butler :)

OOOH, I'll get onto buying that ticket then! :D
but truth be im more going to see Xavier Rudd than Jet... :blush:

[Wep]

yeah I'm not really going to go just to see Jet...am wanting to see Xav Rudd, hilltop hodds, and Sarah Blasko...but Jet should be good, they know how to put on a good show :D

[dumbleedore]

I'm going mainly for Jet and Xav Rudd... I'll check out everything I can but :D

(mum and dad said I could go :D)

[Wep]

:clap: NICE...

The line up is soo good, I think i am going to enjoy everyone I see...I just hope they don't clash (that always tends to happen to me)

[dumbleedore]

I just hope they put all the times on the website soon :D

[Wep]

I thought I'd revive this thread to let you all know I see them in one week! (as well as many fabulous Aussie bands!) Jealous :p
