Jackyl

Any fans of this band? They don't seem to be very popular any more, but I like 'em quite a bit. Heavy, raunchy, Southern-tinged, rock and roll. Besides, ya gotta love a band that uses a chain-saw as an instrument! Now that's rock and roll!

1. Jackyl - s/t
2. Stayin' Alive (love this EP. The covers are outstanding!)
3. Relentless
4. Cut the Crap
5. Push Comes to Shove

I liked their first album well enough, I haven't listened to it in probably 8 years or so though. I never thought it was so good that I had to try any of their other albums though.

Jesse James and his new band, Dixie Inc., have a new album coming out. The single is getting some play on XM Radio's Boneyard station. It's a decent tune and about what you'd expect from him.

I saw Jackyl opening for Damn Yankees years ago, must've been '92 or '93. They were an OK live band I guess, but their whole redneck image (chainsaws, firing off shotguns on stage, etc.) was a little too goofy for me. Never bothered to pick up any of their CDs.

I liked them when they came out.

This would now work against them in my mind as I swim in a daily pool of redneckdom.

I saw them on this same tour.

I like the S/T and Push Comes To Shove but not much after that. The singer's voice annoys me after awhile.

I had their debut album on cassette tape. I liked the chainsaw gimmick. Never bothered to upgrade to cd or purchase anything else by them. The tape is long gone but I occasionally hear them on sattellite radio and don't change the channel, so I guess I like 'em at least a little.

Been totally meaning to check them out. I know the lumberjack song. That's it.

I like these guys alot, there's just something about them that made 'em appeal to me, there's not one bad album in their discography.

I'm turning over a new leaf and trying to be positive, so I won't talk about how I think these guys aren't worth the pot they piss in.

To me they sound like a redneck version of AC/DC (Brian Johnson era)

Don't base our opinion of Jackyl off that. I bought it used and quickly found out why it was in the used bin.

I read some really good reviews on it.

Saw them live @ Rockfest in 2003 my ex G/F got her boobies autographed from the band.
I have pics to prove it! Somewhere!

I liked Jackyl. It was always get the night started music at the time. Just good old raucous party music.

The chainsaw was cool. But unfortunately only a few weeks before I saw them live I saw the Jim Rose Circus. It kind of lost it's impact when you've earlier seen people juggling and playing football with a chainsaw. Simply waving it and revving it couldn't compare.

The buckskin loin cloths were also pretty hard to take as well.

Ah, Jackyl...one of my favorite bands. Have and love everything they've released except for Stayin Alive. The chainsaw is badass!

Jesse's solo stuff is also really good.
