3.0 out of 5 stars Make some (more) noise, September 17, 2007

Jetboy was another one of those ill-fated hair metal bands that were signed to MCA Records back in the late 80's and not given any real promotion from the label. Jetboy, which featured former Hanoi Rocks bassist Sam Yaffa, played a slightly bluesier version of the Hollywood hair metal that was so popular at the time. Their sound and image were equal parts Poison, Faster Pussycat, and perhaps Junkyard.

The 1999 compilation Lost & Found is a collection of previously unreleased tracks that for whatever reason didn't make it onto either of the band's studio albums. Aside from a spoken word performance by Motorhead mainman Lemmy, there are no real surprises here. The songs on Lost & Found are the same kind of glam/sleaze rockers you'd expect from Jetboy (and roughly a hundred other Sunset Strip bands) in the 80's. It's perfectly decent stuff, but nothing you haven't heard before.

This one is for serious Jetboy fans only, or those casual fans who happen to run across it in a cutout bin.

From Mick Finn's gravelly vocals to the intricate melodies woven in around and through, it doesn't get any better than this. Pick it up, plug it in, and TURN IT UP! Don't miss.

3.0 out of 5 stars O.k. at best, November 16, 2001

Really only about 2.5 stars.

Not (...) but nothing original except perhaps the singer`s Mohawk. And nothing memorable about the music or the band except that Jetboy actually landed a major label deal during the eighties. How this band ever got such a recording contract is beyond me.

P.s. The "reading" with Motorhead`s Lemmy is just that. Lemmy reading a passage supposedly meant to be deep/meaningful, but only succeeds is appearing totally out of place on the cd.
