Biography

It's been nearly 20 years since Jackyl shot out of Georgia with its wild, untamed and uncouth approach to rock 'n' roll. Equal parts hard rock, heavy metal and Southern rock, Jackyl formed in 1991 and brought back rock 'n' roll back -- back to its down-to-earth, wild, fun-loving origins. Full of spit and swagger -- and a "dirty" sense of humor to boot -- Jackyl quickly earned a deal with Geffen Records. Jackyl's live shows were already legendary before the ink dried on the Geffen contract. The 1992 self-titled debut album went platinum and featured notable rock radio hits like "Down On Me," "When Will It Rain," "I Stand Alone" and, most notably, "The Lumberjack," during which vocalist Jesse James Dupree performed a chain-saw solo. Dupree's chain-saw escapades on album and in concert became one of many Jackyl trademarks. With the release of 'Jackyl' hit the road and barely left it since. Just long enough to record new albums. The band earned two Guinness Book of World Records citations and the designation "The Hardest Working Band in Rock 'N' Roll" for performing 100 shows in 50 days as well as 21 shows in 24 hours. Dupree says the most grueling of the two was 21 shows in 24 hours; Jackyl completed that task in Texas, and the shows were all done with full lights and sound. The daytime sets were 45 minutes long whereas the ones done at nighttime were between 90 and 120 minutes long.

LYRICS

The sun shines through my window today
Occurred to me the sun could go away
[Chorus:]
I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you

I feel the pain of having to sit next to yourself
Yesterdays tomorrow really makes me mad

[Chorus:]
I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you

Feeling down, going out of control
I can feel the life draining from my very soul
You got your hands around my neck
You're pulling me down
And you're pulling me down
Is this for real or is it a dream
Hello moviegoers, is there no shame?

[Chorus:]
I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you
Into you
Into you
Into you
Into you
