Jackyl is an American hard rock band formed in 1991. Their sound has also been described as heavy metal and Southern metal. Their eponymous album has sold more than a million copies in the United States with released hit singles like "Down on Me" and "When Will it Rain". The band is best known for its song "The Lumberjack", which features a chainsaw solo by lead singer Jesse James Dupree.
In 1992, Jackyl's self-titled debut album was released under Geffen Records and eventually went platinum. It features a song entitled "She Loves My Cock", which was omitted from edited versions, as were suggestive elements on the album's cover art. When a Kmart in Georgia refused to sell Jackyl, the band played an impromptu concert in front of the store. Footage of the event was used for the music video of their single "I Stand Alone".
Their second album released in 1994 is titled Push Comes to Shove. Also that year, the band appeared at in Saugerties, New York. The album contains the singles "Push Comes to Shove" and "Headed for Destruction".
Jackyl released Cut the Crap in 1997. Its hit song "Locked and Loaded" featured guest vocals from AC/DC's Brian Johnson. Johnson also teamed up with the band for their 2002 album Relentless.
The band's first greatest hits album, Choice Cuts, arrived in 1998. Geffen Records produced a music video for their cover of We're an American Band, a 1970s hit song by Grand Funk Railroad.
