Jesse and I are buddies and I follow him on Instagram, among other social media sites. But it was on Insta that he posted a video talking about a new song. The track is called Never Gets Old, and as you listen to it you’ll hear the obvious influence of AC/DC. Jesse even mentions that he had been jamming some early AC/DC records one night, and the next day had a riff in his head that he thought WAS an AC/DC song. So he went back to figure out which one it was, and it wasn’t. He’d just taken all that awesome music and found inspiration for a new riff of his own.
Coincidence turned on the jets and next thing you know Brian Johnson called Jesse just to say hi and catch up, so Jesse asked Brian if he’d be able to help with this new AC/DC inspired song. Next thing you know, Brian goes through his lyric books, and we now have a kickin’ new track called Never Gets Old, that is both Jackyl, AND AC/DC.
I’ll let Jesse tell the full story in his Insta reel:
Jesse actually dropped the new track at midnight, and its now available at your fave digital music shops. Plus they have a video for it with a special giveaway included. Under the video description is this giveaway info: “Scan the QR code on the video to be instantly registered for a chance to win a trip to Daytona Beach, Florida.
