About Jackyl
The band appeared at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, New York.
Jackyl's 1997 hit song "Locked and Loaded" featured guest vocals from AC/DC's Brian Johnson. Johnson would also team up with the band for their 2002 album Relentless.
Less than a month after the events of September 11, 2001, Jackyl recorded and released "Open Invitation," a catchy tune that received wide airplay and featured lyrics that included, "I hate you bin Laden" and "You’ve got an open invitation to kiss our a_ _." The song creatively mixed in clips from George C. Scott's portrayal of George S. Patton giving a speech to his soldiers in the movie Patton and President George W. Bush reading from the Bible's Shepherd's Psalm Psalm 23:4. The band explained their song and lyrics as: "This song is written in the key of 'ANGER' that such a thing can happen in this country. It's not directed toward any religious group or race of people. It is directed toward those 'assh-les' responsible."
