It's not Jackyl either, it's Joe Lynn Turner

[JACKYLvideo]

Jackyl has played this and several other AC/DC songs live but only when Brian Johnson comes out to sing with us. Its a blast when he does. Not sure who this version is but its not me. There is a youtube video of brian and I singing this song in Fl. Happy New Year

[maniac1075]

@maniac1075 just goodle "JLT back in black", you'll see...

[timmytheimpaler]

@maniac1075 this does not sound like Joe Lynn Turner. Not saying it couldn't be, but I'd be surprised. JLT's voice is higher

[ShoeiBoy]

@AllanDeGroot YES to this. Have a Drink is a fucking great track & epitomises what AC/DC & all proper rock bands are all about.

Mr Jackyl Sir, if you're still reading all this shite, get it done my son!

And make sure I fucking get a copy.

Incidentally (and totally irrelevantly) I come from the almighty Brian Johnson's home town, and my mate Skimmer reckons he used to mow the great man's lawn for pocket money when he was a kid & Brian still lived there. Anyway... nice cover this.

The guitarist did a very good job on this song.Wonderful solo playing,I prefer it a lot to Angus' playing...JLT is good as always.Of course he can't be Johnson,but this is not even his style.He's more into classic rock/metal,listen to his own stuff,e.g."All Alone".There you can hear him singing,being himself,and he's one of the best and coolest singers in the music scene.

joe lynn turner can not sing like this

@JACKYLvideo Here's the lineup on this track:

VOCALS-JOE LYNN TURNER

GUITAR (LEAD AND RHYHM)-PHIL COLLEN

BASS-JEFF PILSON

DRUMS-SIMON WRIGHT

As already mentioned this is from a tribute to AC/DC titled Thunderbolt that came out in 1997 on DeRock Records (originally licensed in 1996 by Triage Records).

@skwiddjergensen thats interesting I suspect your saying Yngwie is a Vivaldi Fan as well. A Vivaldi piece that was written for a cello and 2 violins was the first classical that turned me on 30 yrs ago. I heard it in my head as wicked guitar shred and after no real exposure to classical I got it right away. Although I dont know much about classical I still listen to Vivaldi. I think its a good technique to get into classical by transposing it to guitar in your head at 1st

@fashnek

Phil Collen is the guitarist, Joe Lynn Turner the Vocalist.

The track is also on the "Thunderbolt: Tribute to Ac/Dc".

[AllanDeGroot]

@JACKYLvideo Jesse, it's simply amazing how many people insist it's you even when YOU say it isn't.

But I'm sure everyone would like to hear you record a version of this song.

Suggesting the obvious:

Have you considered doing a cover of "Have a Drink On Me" to advertise your (presumably) fine bourbon?

I say "presumably" because I can't get it here in pennsylvania.
