Jackyl's self-titled 1992 debut album went platinum.
The band appeared at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, New York.
In 1992 Jackyl played an impromptu concert in front of a K-Mart in Georgia. K-Mart refused to sell the band's album so they did this to make a statement. Footage of the event was used for their music video of their single "I Stand Alone".
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.
In 2000, lead singer Jesse James Dupree recorded a solo album entitled "Foot Fetish".
In 2002, they were part of the Rock Never Stops Tour.
Less than a month after the events of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Jackyl recorded and released "Open Invitation," which received wide airplay and featured lyrics that included, "I hate you bin Laden" and "You’ve got an open invitation to kiss our ass." The song 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 'assholes' responsible."
Relentless
In 2002, Jackyl released Relentless and took part in the Rock Never Stops Tour. A music video for "Billy Badass" was made. The following year, a second greatest hits compilation was produced entitled '20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection - The Best of Jackyl'.
In 2010, the band released 'When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide', releasing several singles and music videos to promote it such as the hit "Just Like A Negro" featuring Run-D.M.C.
Later on in 2012, the band started working on a new album, and laid down tracks for a song called "Screwdriver" which is to be released on their album 'Best in Show' on July 31, 2012. For the first time, in honor of Father's Day, Jackyl and Nigel Dupree Band (the latter fronted by vocalist Nigel Thomas Dupree, son of Dupree) were releasing their studio albums simultaneously. Best in Show and Up to No Good (the latter being the 2012 album from the Nigel Dupree Band) were set to be released on July 31, 2012. The first singles from Best in Show and Up to No Good, titled "Screwdriver" and "Tumbleweed", respectively, were issued concurrently on June 17, 2012, with an add date at radio of June 26, 2012.
In May 2016, the ensemble announced that they plan to release a studio album entitled 'Rowyco' in the latter part of the year. The album was released on August 5, 2016. *Rated as one of the top 5 best rock albums of 2016/2017.
