Jet have blasted Madonna, claiming she only "became famous for masturbating".
The outspoken Australian rockers - whose hits include 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' and 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is' - insist the 'Hung Up' singer never had to work hard to be successful, instead relying on her sex appeal.
They have also branded her classic hit 'Like A Virgin' a joke.
Drummer Chris Cester said: "Can everyone just shut the f**k about Madonna? 'Like A Virgin'? Please. How the hell did she become so f****g famous? What for, masturbating? Everyone does that, love!"
Madonna is not the only female star to recently be attacked by Jet.
The band have written a song ridiculing Paris Hilton over her homemade sex tape.
They mock the socialite - who inadvertently starred in the X-rated movie 'One Night In Paris' with ex-boyfriend Rick Solomon - in new track 'Rip It Up', which features on their latest album 'Shine On'.
Included in the lyrics are the lines: "Did you ever get the feeling you were born to lose, smacked in the face with a silver spoon. Skinny doll gimme your magazine queen, just spread your legs for the silver screen. From the bedroom baby to the city a' light, you look pretty good but you're not so bright. Flashin' your stash ain't nothin' new."

Who in the hell is Jet? Must be some jealous soon-to-be-has-been band. And how long has Madonna been in the spotlight?
Didn't have to work for her fame??? Oh, you already-has-beens are such dorks... Hmmm. Guess anyone who bashes Madonna gets their name in lights - for a minute...
Who the hell is Jet? I guess they must be mad because every time Madonna releases and album it debuts at #1 and sells millions around the world. She hasn't sold 250 records for nothing. No female artist can touch her. In fact, her recent tour is the most successful by a female artist ever. Because Madonna IS the most successful female artist EVER! She is a true legend. I bet this 'Jet' hasn't even sold a mere 100,000 albums in the U.S.
Is Jet like the new flavor of the week? Now people said MADONNA was the new flavor of the week 24 years ago, but if masterbation is all it took to get her famous we would all be famous especially myself. I guess it does not hurt to mention the name MADONNA to bring attention to any struggling band or artist, hell look at the press and how they sold papers just by writing stuff over and over about Madonna's adoption. I challenege this JET thing to be around 24 years from now and better yet still being able to have people talk about them like MADONNA.
Oh well guess MADONNA still pushes some buttons!
I've never heard of this group JET? Who are they & where did they come from all of sudden? Even if they have been around for awhile - still never heard of them EVER! So leave Madonna alone! Her Adoption? She's doing something wonderful with her life. Not to mention being the most successful female artist of all time. Can't beat that Jet!
Jet obviously need alot of publicity thats why they have to slag off the most famous person on the planet who has sold over 100 million records & has been in the business before they were even born!
I thought Jet was a petrol station before I heard about this, their music is obviously crap!
Jet suck. Madonna rocks. How misogynistic they are to centre their hatred towards the concept of female sexuality and to belittle it in such a way and reduce Madonna to nothing more (yaaaawn). She's a hell of a lot more famous than Jet are, and for good reason.
Madonna is a musical legend. A true artist, she's talked about issues and written songs and played to crowds of 80.000 people before they were even born. Madonna, judging from her lastest tour, is the best touring act ever, Jet would not even come close. A lot of people are jealous of Madonna, she is after all the biggest thing since Elvis and has matched his success. Madonna invented sounds and dances she's a leader while Jet are doing everything Queen and U2 did 20-30 years earlier.
And Jet got famous through embodying the vulgar male rock psyche of the egocentric five-minute star. Jet may ot have been famous for wanking, but they're all bonafide wankers.

MADONNA ROCKS!Nov 25th, 2006 - 10:05:19
Jet has no right to accuse Madonna at all. Madonna has sold over 200 million albums, and holds the record for the highest number of albums sold by a female artist. Jet can't even pull off that many albums in their whole life!!!! I would doubt that Madonna has used her 'overt sexual appeal' to promote the selling of 200 million albums. Not only just that, Madonna has had more U.S. Billboard Top 10 hits than any other female artist and has tied with Elvis Prestly with the most number of top 10 hits in the U.S. She is the only female to have the highest number one hits in the UK. Madonna is more than just a legend, she is the Queen of Pop. So Jet can just shut the hell up and stop critizing talented artists such as Madonna, who have shown the world what it means to be a pop artist and are a whole better than Jet.
