Last week I went to see Skillet in Winnipeg. I am definitely a rocker at heart, and they are one of the best shows I've seen. I've only seen them twice, but each time I leave saying, that was the best concert I've ever seen. I love their message, their power, and their talent. Jen Ledger, their drummer, is 21... and she is *awesome*. I loved her drum solo (see video above).
Korey, the guitarist, is the wife to lead vocalist, John Cooper, and she can rock... in a dress! She came out wearing a silver tutu and a masquerade mask, rocking out to Comatose. :)
The show had everything I love in a concert. Girls who can rock, violin & cello, smoke, a spinning drum kit, a band that sounds better live than on their record, a jumping crowd, and a strong message that we live with one purpose (to live for God, and be loved by God).
Check them out here.
Wanna know a random fact? I've listened to this band since the Alien Youth days (10 years), and whenever I drive alone, they're my first choice to have blaring from the speakers. ;)
Thanks for reading!

Great videos. Nothing sexier than a girl who can kill it on the drums!

Dannng I didn't know the drummer was that young. She's got skill! And I didn't know she did vocals also. I love her voice. And I think doing vocals & drumming must take some skill too.
ReplyDeleteI saw them when I was in high school. It was definitely an awesome show!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've seen Skillet in concert too. Their violin player shredded more than one bow to their songs. They put on a great show. :)

ReplyDeleteoh wow! I haven't thought of these guys in a long time! have they had a couple of line up changes? very cool! it's put me in the mood to put on some old cds and have a rock appreciation session! Thankyou!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE Skillet!!! Those girls rock harder than most I've seen! I didn't think very many people knew about them. Very cool! :)
