In a new interview with Greg Prato, Jackyl frontman Jesse James Dupree shares his memories of working with AC/DC's Brian Johnson on the song "Locked And Loaded", an excerpt follows:

"Oh, man. There's no words that can explain it. Brian had invited me to come down to his house and write some songs. I went down there and we had some beers in his pub. We had written part of 'Locked And Loaded', but we didn't have all of it. Then we ended up getting caught up in the drinking and some other stuff that we were going out and doing that night. It was just, for me, such a big thrill to be hanging with someone that's such a big influence and such an icon in rock and roll.

It took me a couple of weeks before I finally figured out where I could go with the song musically and such. I called him and I said, 'Hey, we're going to cut that song that you and I were working on.' And to my surprise, he goes, 'Well, I'll be up there tomorrow.' He dropped everything and flew in and we finished writing it in the studio while we recorded it."
