My cousin living in AUS doesnt know The Vines, but she knows JET. She said that Jet is very famous in Aus.
Im wondering very much...

vines is more popular than jet here. their song Move On rocks tho...

"here" is Japan huh?

yup yup. sorry i dunno about australia.

I love Japan I love anime manga and some J-bands. Do you like J-rock?

wow really? thankies yeah i like j-rock. x-japan,every little thing,mongol 800 are my favourite. who do ya like??

Australia loves Jet more than The Vines.

"Get Born" has been in the top 10 for over a year now (Since Sep 2003), but "Winning Days" didn't make a dent in the Aust. charts.

In Melbourne, Jet played a quickly sold out concert at "The Forum" early 2004 May/June thereabouts. What was to be their last official concert for 2004 (Just after the Triple M fiasco, and just before they cancelled Sydney) The Vines could not get crowds to fill "The Forum". This is despite both concerts being around the $40 dollar mark.

Luckily that night, along with 15-20 other people I managed to get "Winning Days" partially signed (Ryan and Craig) who seemed more than happy to pose for photos/sign stuff. Ryan was especially gracious to everyone. Unfortunately, I missed Patrick but Hamish seemed quite friendly as well.

*are jet more famous than the vines..

i hate jet..

i was watching muchmusic and they were interviewing alexisonfire (who i LOVE!!! I LOVE GEORGE) and they asked them, who was the most annoying band they had to tour with..and george said it was jet..he said they were annoying or whatever anbd thought they were cool, and they go go back to fucking australia! lol...i dont think he has anything agaisnt australia tho! lol..

o man.. it was super funny@

eeee, jet is getting passe now (thankfully), but they were sorta more famous than the vines for a time...

I think they are, I think it is because of the song "Do you want to be my girl?" It was pretty pop for a while, on a lot of comercials, Vines are on a lot of stuff also but people dont know their name as much as they know "Jet" or maybe more people pretend to know who Jet is.

More people know JET than the Vines here in my country.
I like both bands but I'm in love with the Vines.

ahh

1) shes foreign

2) if you refer to a band as one whole entity than is works fine

i think they are both the most famous(ist??) here but people like jet better. well everyone i know anyway

uhuh, X-japan is broken right? I like J-rock but I dont know much I love L'arc-en-ciel


------------------->

yeep Aethetic_Dame, thx for understandin me And I refered to a band as one whole entity

Without a doubt. Jet is more famous than the Vines. I dont have any statistical things to add to this (its way too early in the morning) but everyone I know knows AT LEAST one Jey song and like No Vines songs. Which is really sad.

[EMM well but ..the Vines are in Australia very Famous...

jet is waaaaaaaaay more famous than the vines here times a million.. they won album of the year unfortunatley and everyone absolutely loooves jet... like all them stupid pop listeners

and noone really know the vines... they're about as popular as the strokes and they're not that popular here.

What?

Do you live in Australia?

They are, but they shouldn't be. It's all thanks to that fucking telephonecommercial. I like Jet, but they're not a really "good" band, or anything.

i think she meant because the vines are from Australia they should be famous there... i think.

Jet are definitely more famous than the Vines in Germany, but I like the music of the Vines very much and Jet is just: cool!

Well I know lots of folks who dont know Jet but still whistle 'are you gonna be my girl'. The video was shown as much as 'Ride' actually but I heard it on the radio quite alot.
Jet were on No. 10 of the 'most wanted songs of the year' on that one radio station.

Someone from Australia once said that Jet are the 'new' Vines for Australia

haha but they don't sound alike at all

jet the new vines
thats a pretty dumb thing to say

yeah but she meant them being the one australian band being hyped outside of the country.

ahhhhh got it

ahhhhhhhh jet like the vines? hmmm now u have me thinking.
i dont think they are, but i guess thats cuz i dont particulalry like Jet but i like the Vines.

I am thinking you were right about SaraNicholls' post Eatgrapes. I was too tired to comprehend the possibilities.

There is a new band called "Neon" (I THINK) Who are also being hyped up. The little comment on the TV whilst the clip was playing was "From the people who bought you The Vines and Jet..."

I think its just the fact that they are both bands from Australia, Doing very well. (Jet for the most part but it was the Vines on the front of Rolling Stone! First Aussie band in 10 Years!!!!)
And the fact that they do share the same management team. Who knows.

First Aussie band in 20 years actually.

you mean first BIG Aussie band in 20 years.

UHm, I dont think so. But when my best friend heard "Look What Youve Done" she thought it was Craigs voice, and I think its reasonable .

Well, the last band on the cover of RS was Men At Work......

that sucks that theyre more famous, the vines are so much more talented!

uhm. If everyone thought Vines are more talented than Jet, The Vines would be more famous than Jet

Even though Jet are really famous over here in australia THE VINES are much better and more talented....... Jet has fallen into the pop circut and have dissapointed many loyal fans... like me
