Jason Aldean has seen some crazy things at his shows. “I’ve seen a lot of body parts,” he tells GAC. “And one time, we were playing my hometown in Macon, Georgia and this guy ran up on the stage and jumped off the other side and broke his leg, so that was pretty crazy. I don’t think he felt it, though. He was pretty rockin’.”

Jason’s crazy fans have helped propel his latest single, “Big Green Tractor,” to the top spot for several weeks. He tells AOL’s The Boot that he’s built his career by playing wherever, whenever.

“For the first couple years we played 200 shows a year, everything from bowling alleys to birthday parties,” says Jason.  “I remember while we were opening for Rascal Flatts, we’d be with them one night in a 10,000-seat arena and the next night we’d be literally in a bowling alley, playing for 150 people.” 

“It was fun,” he says, “and I think if you do that and you see success, you work that much harder to keep it – and you don’t take it for granted.”
