Oh, and if you can play like them what on earth are you doing here? actually i don't really care. I'm going to find something just a touch more productive to do with me time.

finally someone has said something critical of these bands!. no more un earned praise for these bands please, jet arent anything special and are just a big ball of hype, after the fall are trying to reinvent the wheel and if they are punk rock ill run down george street naked.

totally agree with ya buddy...... but i must admit im one of those who owns the jet album......as ud know my cd obsession is one aspect of that, and also because its feel good

they dont push musical boundaries...... theyve stolen from a back catalogue of rock n rolls finest, it doesnt musically inspire me to go out and write the debut Touch n Go album.... but it feels good, ur in the car, whack it on, n sing in the raspy off tune voice just to hav a bitta fun, doesnt do me any harm personally

and u cannot tell me u dont know the words to all their singles, we choke on the amount of radioplay it gets

Saying Metallica created thrash is like saying modern pop punk bands are the forerunners of punk, though granted Metallica were one of the PIONEERS of the thrash movement.

I think someone is forgetting Metal Church and Motörhead - bands that released thrash albums in the very early 80's before Metallica (though Lars had a brief stint in Metal Church), dumbass. Also Overkill, Testament, Watchtower (One of the best bands of the 80's I think, and undoubtedly more sophisticated than fucking Metallicas earlier albums... I love their work :)), Coroner, Slayer et al were all recording around the same time as Metallica.

Oh, and I forgot Venom and Hellhammer whom were recording around the same time as Motorhead - they may have been a rubbishy bands, but they did influence the founding of Black Metal and Thrash :)
