    • "Olds" -> Joel über Wolfmother und Jet

      Lest es selbst, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Joel jemals so etwas gesagt hat ... :scratch_one-s_head:


      Airbourne Frontman Slams Jet And Wolfmother

      posted Nov 27 2007 at 7:50 AM

      Joel O'Keefe, lead singer and guitarist for Australian "pub rockers" AIRBOURNE, recently explained to ChartAttack.com exactly what separates his band from the rest of the Aussie pack.

      "JET and WOLFMOTHER are not for real. We are," he said. "That's the difference. They're not for real. They're doing it to be cool, and you can tell. They're starting to lose their fire. They're not Aussie pub rock. You can tell an Aussie pub rock band from a mile away. Like ROSE TATTOO, for example, that's an Aussie pub rock band. AC/DC were an Aussie pub rock band with Bon Scott. WOLFMOTHER and JET are a bad example of rock that comes out of Australia. They're just carbon copies of something they want... they're wannabes. They're like 'American Idol' or something like that. They're not legit."

      Roadrunner Records will release AIRBOURNE's "Runnin' Wild" debut in North America on January 29, and O'Keefe is confident that his band will be able to translate the success they've enjoyed in Australia, where the record was released in the summer. That's something that other Aussie rockers like POWDERFINGER and SILVERCHAIR haven't been fully able to do.

      "Well, POWDERFINGER and SILVERCHAIR, one important thing, they're both not rock 'n' roll bands," O'Keefe said. "Two, they're not concentrating on those markets enough.

      "They got families back home in Australia and they don't get out over there as much as we intend to. We intend to move [to the U.S.] for good. Australia will become a tourist destination for us. We're all going to live in a house together. We've been living in Melbourne together as a band for three years. Our production manager is coming with us, so there's going to be five of us in the house."

    • das war 2007. mag sein, dass er das 2007 so oder so ähnlich gesagt hat, ob er es aber heute noch genau so sagen würde, wage ich mal zu bezweifeln. ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass sie alle in den seitdem vergangenen jahren gelernt haben, dass es eher kontraproduktiv ist, wenn man seine kollegen disst (ausgenommen man is ein rappender volltrottel). denk nur mal an das interview mit ryan auf der französischen seite vor kurzem: da wird er auch nach wolfmother gefragt und reagiert völlig gleichgültig. (dabei soll es da angeblich sogar mal ne schlägerei gegeben haben; Jan/Airbourn_Linz weiß da wohl mehr drüber.) jedenfalls is das auch die schlauere strategie: wen du gut leiden kannst, den lobst du in den himmel, wen nicht, den erwähnst du nicht. fertsch. und was aus den großspurig im letzten absatz verkündeten plänen gewprden is, wissen wir ja auch ;)
