Big Rig Trucker: On Slaughter and Jackyl show at State Fair It was a night to remembered, contributing music critic Big Al Owens says, of Slaughter & Jackyl show at the Kentucky State Fair last night, Saturday, August 21, 2010. He and his wife Sheila return to Adair County with a souvenir given them by guitarist Jeff Worley. Click on headline for complete column with photo(s) By Big Al Owens, the Big Rig Trucker, and Music Critic Sheila and I went to the Slaughter and Jackyl show on 8/21 in Louisville,Kentucky at the Kentucky State Fair and had the opportunity to meet Jackyl after the show. The show went really well and there were several thousand people in attendance, even though Tim McGraw and Montgomery Gentry were entertaining several other thousands of Fair goers just across the parking lot. Slaughter opened the show and really got the crowd involved, especially when Mark Slaughter jumped off the stage and came into the crowd during one of Slaughters classic hits. I had the opportunity to high five Mark as he went by me. When Slaughter played their most famous hit "Fly to the Angels" and dedicated it to the hard working men and women of the U.S. military, the crowd went wild. Slaughter played for about 40 minutes and left the crowd yearning for more. Then Jackyl got onstage and the crowd really roared. Jackyl is a group of heavy-metal country rednecks from Kennesaw, GA, and really fit in, right here in Kentucky... Jackyl rocked the house for over an hour and did their classic Chainsaw song which parlayed into huge screams from all of the on-lookers. Jesse James Dupree, who is the lead singer from Jackyl then asked a fine Kentucky State Trooper if he could shoot his gun, the officer refused. Jesse continued to beg the officer claiming that everyone in Kennesaw, GA, owned a gun, the officer still refused. At the end of the show Jesse then fired his grand-fathers shotgun into the air and threw the empty shell casing into the crowd for a souvenir. Sheila and I were lucky enough to be close enough to guitarist Jeff Worley and he handed us a piece of the barstool that was cut up during the chainsaw song. After the show Jackyl hung out with the crowd until each and every person who wanted to meet them had the opportunity to get an autograph, or picture. Jackyl is in the Guiness Book of World Records for playing 24 shows in 24 hours. Jackyl is considered by many to be the hardest working Rock-n-Roll band. It was truly a night to remember...
