JOHN COOPER'S BASS SOLO for JOHN CRIST! Final Winter Jam 2018 Lexington

[@GhostAngelGamer]

How could anyone make a joke saying John can not play bass I’m not surprised he did this I would have been laughing 😂 John always kills it with his skills

[@S-in-F]

Facts ghost, facts

[@someonerandom7466]

I think they say that just because we usually don’t hear it in most songs. But he’s definitely a good bassist.

[@randomstufffromachristian2287]

This is why John Cooper is my favorite bass player of all time.

[@dylanschneider7958]

Mine too. He's part of the reason I'm learning to play bass myself.

[@ETOL17]

Same, but I miss his 6 string bass tho

[@ETOL17]

And plus mancam play bass on the back of his neck (he did in 1997)

[@nascarsteve]

John Cooper is one of the most ridiculously best bass players on earth!

[@yewstew8312]

Steve Still next to fieldy

[@yewstew8312]

Gabe Carter yeah. Fieldy and Brian are Christians and they get along with John really well

[@rasmuss.8991]

Hell no, he's good but not even close to the best 100

[@amjorgy1]

He's not even close to one of the best. He's an average bass player.

[@dancingwiththedead6764]

even Jen appreciates it (1:14-1:21)

[@yesh6545]

Sorry girls he is already married

[@FullRewardMinistries]

Lucky Kor, but they’re so cute together

[@wj2music]

No shit Sherlock

[@shadowfromsparksnv3253]

He's definitely inspired me to step up my bass playing and singing, I still gotta get a lefty 5 string bass guitar

[@davikleinpaul]

John: ok i'm going to make people's happiness by playing some sick bass guitar solo! Jen: *w a t e r*

Another bites the dust 🎶. Freddy Mercury is the bomb.

[@Andrewthomas102]

I would love if they put this on a song

[@snakeeyes9246]

Andrew Fechenbach it could be an intro to a future song. Similar to the intros in several songs from Rise.

[@Fackunator]

@@snakeeyes9246 might wanna check the live version of Imperfection

[@trisghoul3752]

Awe heck yeah! I was there!. I'm one of the screaming people!

[@renegadeoftruth2891]

Yep. John's the real deal, as a musician, singer, songwriter, and truth teller in his podcasts and book. I hope this was followed by Jen doing a drum solo!

[@shadowsoul1695]

Wow this bass line sounds like a little like the song Believe by Breaking Benjamin, but this is obviously another one bites the dust by Queen

[@arroyoefra72]

LOL They should make that an actual song on their next album lol XD XD

[@tylerhensley7461]

I was there!!! I love y'all skillet

[@bradyg2475]

I was there it was my first Winter Jam was not disappointed one bit since then I have seen my favorite Christian Rock Bands live that being RED SKILLET and NEWSBOYS

[@NewHollandTech2021]

If you haven't heard of Mudvayne, go check them out cause they have an insane bassist!! One of their best bass songs is Dig! So look up Ryan Martinie bass solo!!

[@LonewolfeE5]

Jedi Jesus lol I dunno how many skillet fans would dig(pun intended) mudvayne m8

[@NewHollandTech2021]

I don't know, But it seems you've heard of them before. And I know a lot of people who are Skillet fans but still listen to other bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Rammstein, Mettalica, Avenged Sevenfold, and many more! I'm one of those people! But the kind of Metal that I hate is what I, and many others call, mic swallowing, two perfect example of mic swallowing is Dying Fetus and Cannibal Corpse

[@LonewolfeE5]

Jedi Jesus I listen to it all man. You're not a big death metal fan then I assume? I'm sure I know a few bands that might change your mind

[@wj2music]

bit late but *B R B R D E N G*

Yeah, Mudvayne rocks. Coming from a Skillet fan

So I dont know how to do tapping on a bass, but I need to do it now. If my idol can do it, I can learn

[@alexcrabtree2281]

lol LOVE JOHN AND JOHN!!!!

[@Spudeaux]

I've never doubted John's musical skills, and think there's no doubt that he plays on the more "improvised" stuff (I'm not sure that right word there is since it's clearly rehearsed, not improvised, but the stuff at the concerts where they're just jamming, adding stuff, etc). It's just a bit disorienting to see a rock band play without a live bass player for half their songs. Using tracks for the orchestra I can forgive because that's just going to be super expensive and time consuming to get a real one, but for the other stuff, I think it takes away from the performance to use tracks at all. I'd rather them hire a couple session players to fill in for the parts they can't get with the four of them and not worry so much about recreating the production on the album. Album listening and live listening are very different experiences and for me at least, knowing tracks are being used takes away from the live experience. Seeing it made so obvious with the lack of a live player of an essential instrument, for me at least, is jarring.

[@НикШтурм-у8я]

absolutely agree

[@shae482]

Skillet actually used to have someone else playing bass for them anytime John wasn’t playing and was interacting with the crowd. They would have their production manager (Scotty rock) play johns bass on stage with them. That was from like 2009-2012. After that I guess they decided to use tracks for the songs John wants to walk around for like “hero” and “monster”. Scotty now runs one of the soundboards by the stage. But pretty much anytime John has a bass you can bet it’s really him playing.

Moral of the story, do not say John Cooper cannot play the bass.

[@AlbertJasonAlburo]

Skillet, Planetshakers and Hillsong are the bands who also play Worldly and Secular Music. If they are Christian Bands they should not play these types of songs.

[@AlbertJasonAlburo]

They might get criticized or exposed if they play those kind of songs in public.

[@Fackunator]

Albert Fuck off

[@shadowfromsparksnv3253]

Don't judge, no one's perfect and he was proving his bass skills

[@-Bishop-]

@@AlbertJasonAlburo It's a bass solo you over-religious freak bag

[@shae482]

Are we gonna ignore that skillets early music had very strong Christian lyrics, and that they have a worship album, and that their music is written from a Christian point of view but can be interpreted in a non Christian way? They don’t curse, or promote sex and drugs and constantly reference God in their music. Are you that clueless Mr perfect?
