Hello,
Skillet is John Cooper, lead vocalist. Korey Cooper, John's wife, plays guitar, keyboards and synthesizer and she sings as well. Seth Morrison is the lead guitarist. Last and certainly not least is drummer and co-vocalist Jen Ledger. She doesn't sing a lot, but when she does it's amazing. I love how her and Cooper's voices mingle together. And I have no idea how someone can be so talented that they can sing and play drums at the same time.
In a word Skillet was great. They played the same setlist they've played this entire tour. That's good, but it doesn't give much room for surprises. They played for about 75 minutes and played a mix of old and new songs. I think the best time to see a concert is when a band has a few solid CDs under their belt and their new CD is very good. Both things which Skillet has going for them, their newest CD, "Unleashed", is one amazing CD. The energy seemed to rise when they played one of the songs from that CD. Most of those songs are great sing along songs.
Skillet is a great band with four very talented musicians.
The bad: When Skillet played some of their older stuff, the show lagged a bit. They also relied a bit too much on filler.
The good: When Skillet was playing some of their newer and most popular songs they were amazing. I liked how both Korey Cooper and Morrison played guitar while on lifts that lifted them up and down while playing. That was cool.
We purposely missed the opening band, Devour The Day. Also both my rock concert girlfriend and I were surprised how much we liked Sick Puppies. She knew quite a few of their songs, I only knew their song "Maybe". But that is a great song.
