Elton John , being heavily influenced by early 70s rock. Comprised of Adam Paskowitz ofThe Flys onpiano and lead vocals, Jeff Kluesner onGuitar , 'The Duke' on the organ and Rob Jones playing drums. All members sing backing vocals. Much of their guitar work is reminiscent ofBrian May To quote Steve Jones from the
Sex Pistols , "I like bands that have a concept, a bit of drama. Queen is that sortof band; they had complex songs wit a lot of parts to them. Jetliner is that kind of band too."Jetliner have released two albums, 'Jetliner' and 'Space Station'.
Comparisons
'Little Steps', from 'Jetliner' sounds as if it could have been recorded by Elton John and 'The Reaction' from 'Space Station' is a knowing wink towards 'Tie Your Mother Down' by Queen, with the opening guitar riff being very similar. 'Space Station' contains a cover of 'Life on Mars' by
David Bowie , showing yet another of the band's influences.Links
