894.0. "Jackyl" by COMET::FRISBYA (Keep the Faith) Thu Nov 05 1992 18:48

    So..What does everybody think of this gimmack, on-hit wonder Jackal?
      You know the song "Lumberjack" with chainsaw taking the main solo 
    in it?  I was about to fall asleep the other night and KILO played this
    and it woke me up in a panic....I had flashbacks from Texas Chainsaw
    MAssacre II.

    They sing that song;
    
    "I stand alone today..."
    
    
    Right?
    
    
894.2The singer inhales.....COMET::FRISBYAKeep the FaithThu Nov 05 1992 19:128
    YEa....That was the first single.  They had the video for that on
    Headgiver's Ball a couple of times.  The one were they had to fuzz the
    K in K-Mart because they didn't have permission to use it in the video.
    I can't imagine my first video being on the back of a flatbed in front
    of a K-MART.

894.7SOUNDS LIKE BON SCOTTKAOM25::BARILSun Nov 22 1992 18:395
    I just heard this song a few weeks ago. I think it sounds fantastic,
    but it sounds a lot like AC DC's song "The Jack" with good old
    Bon Scott on vocals.
    
    ANYBODY AGREE ?
894.8Jackyl or something like that...GOES11::G_HOUSEBig cheese, MAKE me!Mon Nov 23 1992 15:525
    I saw part of this video on HBB Saturday night and I think we have the
    name spelled wrong in the note's title.  If someone will please let me
    know what the correct spelling is and I'll fix it

    I like the guitar sound, but that stupid chainsaw has got to go!
    I think I'd like the song more with a guitar solo!
894.14NEMAIL::MERCIERTHeVIolEnCeBEgInsWHenTHeLIgHtsGOouTFri Dec 18 1992 13:094
    I thought the video was the most ridiculous thing in the world...I
    think these guys are lame....I was waitin for the guy to chop off
    his arm or leg with the saw.....now that would have made the video
    cool..........................

    Just caught this on MTV yesterday...........
    
    First, electric drills, now chain saws.  Are we going to have to open a 
    topic on heavy metal power tools?
    
    Wasn't the teacher the same breaded dude who showed up in a wedding
    dress in some other video?  (figure that one out if you're REALLY
    bored ;)....)

    I thought it was 'Dude looks like a lady', but I wasn't sure.  The only
    thing I remember from that vid fer sure was Steven T. in drag!

    Wasn't the bearded dude the one that produced Permenant Vacation ?
894.20WMOIS::MAZURKASon_of_the_SwaggerWed Dec 23 1992 09:314
    I think that Beareded_Guy is the record Rep who hangs with the band
    and gives His/Record Companies Opinions on certain things.

894.24KURMA::IGOLDIELes fears the chives...!Fri Aug 06 1993 01:3710
  I told Greg about this last week,that Jesse was in a womans magazine with
    his kit off.It was on a late night show here in the UK.They only showed
    one picture and that was enough.He looked very silly in it.In fact he's
    just ripping off an idea that was thought up by Chris Holmes.He
    appeared in a shag-mag under the title of "rock and roll animal" and
    that's how Blackie first found him!
    
    ......but then again,do you really care? 8)

    What the hell was Blackie doin lookin at a 'shag-mag' that had a 
    picture of Chris Holmes in the nude?!

    Is this for real?!
    
    Why did the late night show in the UK pick the picture of Jesse to
    show?
894.27fwiw...I like women! 8)KURMA::IGOLDIELes fears the chives...!Fri Aug 06 1993 22:4124
    re-2
    
    it was Rustler magazine in the section called "one for the ladies"Chris
    has sent in a picture of himself.Why Blackie was looking at nekkid men
    is his own choice!!
    
    re-1
    
    yup for real.It was on a late night tv show in which they said there
    was a gay image associated with hm..ie the macho men in leather image
    was turning a lot of gay guys on and instead of hm being the
    macho,chest beating music that it is,they said the genre was full of
    androgynst(sp) men(they showed a picture if Sebastian Bach here)who 
    did know what they wanted men or women!The pictures of Jesse were
    there and they showed one and said "a gay man would find this exciting"
    of course he would,it was a picture of a another man in the nudey!
    
     they also mentioned that they keyboard player from Faith no more
    had admitted to being gay!
    
    their case was a bag of shite as they showed pictures of people who
    were as straight as the next man,if they had bothered to research
    properly they would have found out about Rod Halford,the singer from
    Pantera and how dodgy Manowar look! 8)                            
894.28SUBURB::COOKSI`m so bored with the U.S.AMon Aug 09 1993 12:275
    Yes,i saw that and thought it was a load of bollards n`all. Badly
    researched,ill informed rubbish.  
    
    ..which makes you wonder how accurate all the rest of their stuff is.
    
894.29KIRKTN::IGOLDIELes fears the chives...!Mon Aug 09 1993 23:387
    what about those punters who were on the cover of Kerrang,looking like
    Rock stars one day and then looking like they were about to do "dance
    of the suger plumb fairy" next.Strange chaps....still,if they want to
    wear tu-tus and bride dresses then it their choice!

    	Well, almost a year since the last reply to this topic.  I don't
    	want to wait until tomorrow or I might forget to post this.
    
    	Picked up "Push Comes to Shove" the other day and it's great!!
    	Just as good as the 1st [and the chainsaw makes a guest appear-
    	ance for a minute or 2].

    Shawn,
    
    That Chainsaw will ALWAYS make an appearance...
    
    I remember when he used to chew up the stage at AJ's in Greenville,
    SC with it all the time (when they were locals...).
