Jackyl is an American rock band formed in 1990. Their sound has been described as a combination of hard rock, heavy metal, and Southern rock and has also sometimes been categorized as glam metal.
The band is probably best-known for its songs "Down On Me", and "The Lumberjack," which features a chainsaw solo by lead singer Jesse James Dupree. Dupree would rev the chainsaw's engine or use the chain brake to slow the engine down to keep the beat. He would also perform this stunt live and the number would climax with Dupree slicing up a wooden stool onstage, smashing it, and throwing the sliced pieces out to the crowd. He once had been asked, "How the hell can you play a chainsaw?," and he responded "How the hell can you not play a chainsaw?"
