Jet

Jet
The modern day hard rockers.  The sons of ACDC.  The men who took the idea of the rock n' roll and carried on the legacy of great rock n' roll bands.  Jet has been rocking the modern age with songs like "Cold Hard Bitch," and "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is."  These songs are original yet similar to older rock n' roll ideas at the same time.  If you're in the mood for some great music, listen to Jet.  Lets analyze two songs that make Jet amazing.



"Cold Hard Bitch," is an amazing track.  The song has a guitar part that has great tone while it plays its own beat.  Along with the guitar beat, the drums are solid, heavy, and simple.  These are the main ideas of older rock n' roll.  To be honest...some of the old rock n' roll can get a little old, but with new recording techniques and our modern sound, Jet has transformed the genre into an art form.  This song re-iterates ideas such as band cutouts/vocal solos, and strong scratchy vocals.  In the verses of this song, the band cuts out after the intro to bring in the melodies of the vocals.  After these cutouts, the band comes back in on a different starting chord, giving the song variety.  These verses are somewhat quieter with intensity, but when the chorus comes in, you really wish you were at the Jet concert.







Another great song that shows the rockin' qualities of Jet is "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is."  This songs is amazing because it brings in modern ideas to an old genre.  The song is bases around distorted bass.  The intro is even distored bass!  The sound is amazing.  During the verses, the distorted bass is layered with a crazy cowbell on the quarter notes and the vocals are falsetto.  All of these ideas don't seem like a good mix, but the quiet verse sets up the blasting chorus, which has the huge intense voice of the vocals, and the meaty distortion of the guitar.





Cold Hard Bitch - Jet

Do you miss the days of hard rock n' roll?  Do you want to hear the great sounds of bands such as ACDC?  If so, you really need to listen to Jet.  They're revolutionizing the music industry by keeping the old styles instead of converting to the new alternative.  And if you don't miss those old songs, it's still a great idea to listen to the band.  As we explained in the previous paragraph, Jet uses modern ideas to appeal to all listeners.  Jet is today's obligation. (Oh, and of course, you can't forget to listen to everyone's favorite "Are You Gonna Be My Girl")
