Jet are from my hometown, can't stand them to be honest. I don't really see all that much AC/DC in their sound either (I spose when I think of bands with more of an AC/DC influence I think of the harder rockin ones like Kix, Rhino Bucket, Jackyl, Johnny Crash, etc)... There are tons of bands in Melbourne who have that Jet kinda sound, so I spose it kinda bores me. And they all look the same too... Not into that 60s retro op-shop clothes & shaggy hair kinda image. I like the bands who give the AC/DC sound even more of a kick in the ass with bigger guitar tones & bigger choruses & more attitude... Rather than tone it down with a bit of a Rolling Stones influence thrown in like Jet...
There is another Melbourne band too (actually they are from a small town in the country in Victoria a few hours from Melbourne) called Airborne who I think rock alot more than Jet, but I think their problem is that they sound absolutely identical to AC/DC, and even look identical right down to the Bon Scott outfit & hair, cherry SG, duck walking, rhythm guitarist who looks like Malcolm's long lost twin, etc! But I think they are excellent live, put on a great show and rock pretty damn hard... Heard they were in LA at the same time as us recording an album.
