Jackyl - Secret Of The Bottle (live 2-2-2013)

Performing at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday February 2, 2013. Shot out of Kennesaw, Georgia with its wild, untamed and uncouth approach to rock 'n' roll, Jackyl formed in 1991 with equal parts hard rock, heavy metal and Southern rock, bringing back rock 'n' roll, back to its down-to-earth, wild, fun-loving origins. Full of spit, swagger and a "dirty" sense of humor, Jackyl quickly earned a deal with Geffen Records. Jackyl's live shows were legendary before the ink dried on the Geffen contract. Their 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" which vocalist Jesse James Dupree performs a chain-saw solo. Dupree's chain-saw escapades became one of many Jackyl trademarks. Jackyl hit the road, stopping long enough to record new albums. 1993 saw "Mental *@%.!" featured on 'The Beavis & Butt-head Experience,' a compilation album of songs tied in with MTV's hit cartoon series; it was certified triple platinum. 1994 was one of the most important years in the band's career. Their second album 'Push Comes To Shove' went gold. Jackyl had one of the most acclaimed performances at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, NY. The resulting double album 'Woodstock 94' went platinum and included "Headed For Destruction" (a track from 'Push Comes To Shove'). In 1996, the live recording of the 'Night Of The Living Dead' was released exclusively in Europe on Mayhem Records. It wasn't long before Jackyl followed A&R legend John Kalodner (who signed them to Geffen) to Sony Music's imprint Epic Records. 'Cut the Crap' was released in 1997 and benefited from two industry heavyweights overseeing its recording: producer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica) and mixer Kevin Shirley (Silverchair, Aerosmith). The album spawned the rock radio hit "Locked and Loaded," which included guest vocals by AC/DC's Brian Johnson. This was the first time Johnson recorded with another artist since he joined AC/DC 17 years earlier. In 1998, a collection of B-sides titled 'Stayin' Alive' appeared on Shimmering Tone Records. The biggest highlight of the year was the best-of collection 'Choice Cuts' released by Geffen Records. 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 the task in Texas and the shows were done with full lights and sound. The daytime sets were 45 minutes long whereas the nighttime sets were between 90 and 120 minutes long. In 2002, Jackyl released 'Relentless' on Humidity Records. It contained the second collaboration with Brian Johnson, "Kill the Sunshine". In 2003, Universal Music/Geffen Records issued a best-of series CD as part of its acclaimed '20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection'. For a band that built its reputation as road warriors, it's surprising that a full-length live album meant for worldwide release did not appear until 2004 with the separate release of the 'Live at the Full Throttle Saloon' CD and DVD on Sanctuary Records; recorded and filmed in 2003 in Sturgis, South Dakota as part of the legendary bike rally.
