As a pastor we took our kids to a youth gathering and Skillet was one the bands. 35,000 kids rocking in the New Orleans Super Dome. It's a moment I won't forget. They put on a great show with a positive message. I'm so glad you both loved this.

Is throwing up the "horns" frowned upon? Because that is a symbol of rock, not necessarily the devil

@@JK-dl6ql some denominations may take offense at symbols that could be interpreted as satanic, even if they are not. It's like Paul in his letter to the Corinthians-if you think eating meat sacrificed to idols is bad, then it is. but Paul doesn't worry about it. If you think "throwing up the horns" is satanic, then it is (for you). If you think it is a rock and roll sign, then it is. I grew up in a era when churches thought Led Zep was satanic. Kind of ridiculous. Thanks for asking.

@@genov9374Exactly, if it makes you feel like you’re uncomfortable with it, like you might be doing something God wouldn’t like, then avoid it - not because it’s always all bad, but because if you ignore that internal intuition, you may end up ignoring it on core sins!

Wow, finally some Skillet! This was a good start. This rabbit hole has some truly great songs lurking within, including "Whispers in the Dark", "Hero", "Monster", "Comatose", and "The Lat Night". Every fan of this band has a favorite! Also... glad to see you doing a song less than 20 years old! That's a rarity on this channel! And also: when Jay makes THAT face at 1:39, you know it's a banger! The female singer's name is Jen Ledger, and the male singer John Cooper. John is married to the rhythm guitarist/keyboardist, Korey Cooper. Seth Morrison, lead guitar, rounds out the group.

Skillet's first album came out in 1996, and they've never stopped since. They released their 11th(!) album in 2022. There is only one original member of the band left, and that is John Cooper (lead vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitar). John's wife Korey Cooper (rhythm guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, backing vocals) joined in 1999. The current drummer, Jen Ledger, joined the band in 2008 when she was just 18! The current lead guitarist, Seth Morrison, joined in 2011. Skillet's sound had evolved over they years. You can check out the differences on songs like "Saturn" (1996), "Locked in a Cage" (1998), "More Faithful" (1998), "Best Kept Secret" (2000), "Kill Me, Heal Me" (2001), and "You Are My Hope" (2001) (Korey singing with John). From about 2003 onward, they pretty much found their sound, with songs like "Forsaken" (2003), "Savior" (2003), "Rebirthing" (2006), and "Comatose" (2006). They vocally found their sound with the addition of Jen Ledger on songs like "Hero" (2009) (first single to feature Jen Ledger), "Monster" (2009), "Rise" (2013), "Not Gonna Die" (2013), "Feel Invincible" (2016), "I Want to Live" (2016), and "Legendary" (2019).

Thank you so much for finally playing Skillet. Have seen them live so many times. Even more incredible in person with the energy they bring for the entire show. And John Cooper is the ultimate leader, always hyping to the crowd, sometimes to the point that he just stops playing his bass. Next song should be The Resistance.

Back in the day, I worked at a nightclub run by my church. I did stage work, setting up equipment for the bands and working stage monitors from the side of stage. I got to work with SKILLET, mind you, this is 25 years ago. They weren’t this heavy as much as I remember. I believe I still have an autographed cassette from them in my collection.

I saw these guys a few years ago. I've seen major acts with awesome stage presence and Skillet takes no back seat to any of them. Very powerful group regardless of genre. Their music helped bring me out of severe depression several years ago.

The members of this band are very devout Christians. You can't go wrong with this band you are in for a few surprises when you see the lady drummer singing. John is the lead vocalist. His wife is actually the lead guitarist. I do believe for this song though his wife is the one with the violin.

I just realized I've been listening to Skillet for 26 years. WOW! I still have their first CD back when they where a 3 piece "alt/grungy" type band. I defiantly love the musical direction they went with the Collide album. My favorite song off that album is "Fingernails".

Dummer/vocalist is Jen Ledger; lead vocal/bass is John Cooper; he is 'married to the female guitar player, Korey, and the other guitar player is Seth Morrison. Check out "Monster", "Hero", "Legendary", or "Feel Invincable" next. You'll love those as well.

So glad to see you reacting to Skillet. They are awesome! Catch "Hero", a 2010 song by them. The video is fantastic. Here is a link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3jGpHyafLSokLs They are still cranking out music and doing live shows.

Skillet has been called one of the most streamed bands of the last 5 years. They reached one billion streams a few years back and were recognized by Billboard Music for it. Most people also don't realize they have been around of about 25 years in different incarnations. John, the bass player/vocalist also found the band and his wife, Korey, is the band's rhythm guitarist/programmer. I've been a fan for 20 years and their fans are called Panheads.

You will definitely have to go down there rabbithole. They have a huge catalog. They have been at it for 25 years. The lead singer is John Cooper, the female guitarist is his was Korey Cooper, drummer is Jen Ledger, male guitarist is Seth Morrison. Jen also has a side project called Ledger. She is amazing in it too. They are absolutely incredible live. I've seen them in concert twice. Next time they come to my city I will be there again.
