Something

There should be a disambiguation at the top specifically regarding the UK band Jet from the 1970's. In most articles where there are two bands named exactly the same there is usually some explanation of what the latter band had to do to use the same name. (I don't know the story behind the two Jets or I would put it in here. Someone must know it, though.) Mseanbrown (talk) 20:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How come the criticism section was removed?

Hope those 6 song titles helped. MRYFoo5291

Someone should expand at least the two singles links in the section. --ThomasK 10:33, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Timothy

Did Timothy die in his own infancy? Or in Cameron's infancy? DS 21:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Timothy died in his own infancy. Cam was essentially the replacement child.

Cam was NOT a 'replacement child'. He was simply the next child lucky enough to be born into his amazing family. If his father had not died of cancer 6 months later there would no doubt have been more younger brothers and sisters.

Look What You've Done is original

I'm a musician, and I'm a huge Beatles fan and a Jet fan. And I don't believe Look What You've Done is a copy of Sexy Sadie. The phrase "making fool of everyone" is there, but in terms of melody, I think Look What You've Done is an original. Just listen to it.

Try listening to it and then One More for Love by Five for Fighting off of The Battle for Everything. The opening chords are all but identical. Maybe they are. Th900bbepr 05:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The music isn't ripped off from the Beatles, but the whole feel of the song is. Even if there were no lyrical similarities it would sound Beatles-esque. Mnealon (talk) 04:36, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"F***. .. We still can't believe we're here with Oasis".

Did he really say "F***"? Cause I'll bet you a thousand dollars he actually said "Fuck". Can we change this? Bihal 04:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely we can - just de-censored it (next time feel free to be bold and do it yourself)...! Cheers, Ian Rose 09:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EP More Light Than Shade has been removed.

This EP was actually an LP by a Glam Rock band called Jet made up of former members of T-Rex in the 1970's.

Genre

Have you heard this group? His music isn't Hard Rock. Only a few songs are good, the vast majority are slow and sad. In my humble opinion, their sound are more like the Pop Rock than Hard Rock. (Sorry for my Google Traductor English :s)Rubiobarga (talk) 22:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. To say Jet are a hard rock band is just silly. Mnealon (talk) 04:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What about Copy Rock? Like, you hear it and go "Oh hey, its that AC/DC song... waitaminute, that's not AC/DC. Who is this?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.146.151.14 (talk) 22:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genre - Garage Rock Revival

Garage Rock Revival is more of a new revival type thing, like a movement. its not a genre, id be in support of just putting Garage Rock as a genre, but these guys are more of a pub rock band from what ive heard. just my 2 cents though, if anyones got a problemo, go ahead and fix it how you want, but thats how i felt it should be. 68.103.28.224 (talk) 07:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify please?

Brothers Nic Cester and Chris Cester grew up in Dingley Village, a suburb just out of Melbourne, Victoria listening to classic rock from the 1960s and 1970s such as The Who, AC/DC, The Easybeats, Faces, The Loved Ones and particularly The Rolling Stones and The Beatles; these were their father's records. In an interview for the documentary "Take It Or Leave It", which was also recorded on the band's Right! Right! Right! live DVD,

   "It's always interpreted that our father had a great record collection, but that's not true. It was actually a really shit collection that Nic managed to find the gems in."
