They are a band that plays hard rock, and the members are Christians but do not push there faith through there songs. The just try to have a positive message in their music. They started in the late 90's. Current members have been together 12 years. Ledger the drummer has her own release you would like her music as well. The lead singer and the rhythm guitar/keyboard player are married. John and Kory Cooper. Glad you enjoyed it Adogg. Other songs you would like is Legendary, Monster , Awake and Alive, Hero. Love your reactions to all your music.
Here are a few of the great Skillet Songs: Awake and Alive, Hero, Monster, Not Gonna Die, Legendary, and their new song that came out a couple weeks ago Surviving the Game. The Girl Drummer is Jen Ledger. She joined the band when she was around 18 years old. She is a great singer. In fact she has her own side band called Ledger. A couple of my favorites from them are Not Dead Yet, Completely, and My Arms
You can also include Comatose, Better With Drugs, Rise, Whispers In The Dark, Circus For A Psycho, Stars and the first song I have heard from this band, Rebirthing...it's clear Skillet is a banger factory
There are heaps of women in drums, but its hard to compete with jens technique, stage presence, singing, passion. And plusshe has a tonne of experience
When she first started with skillet she had only been drumming for 4 years and was about to give up because she didnt feel good enough. Korey had to convince her to try out.
The background screams by John are absolutely sick. I love it when he screams. Forsaken, Surviving The Game, Hero (live), The Resistance, and Reach all have fantastic screams. But if you want some really good heavy stuff, check out John Cooper's side project, "Fight The Fury".
This is the 25th year anniversary of Skillet. I was at a concert on October 6th and John, lead vocal, was saying that. You really need to go through their music. They have a ton of amazing music.
She started playing drums when she was 14 year old.( odly enough the same age I stated playing as a young girl) She stopped playing for a few years then got a call from Skillet for her to come for an audition when she was also 18 years old. She has been with the band ever since and has done some solo side projects also.
They've been around for awhile. They played live at our youth group church here in Oklahoma, like 14yrs ago now(I'm feeling old now...). Skillet is awesome and seen them many times through the years.
Skillet started back in 1996. Since they've been around they've had 3 different drummers. A man for the their first 3 albums and 2 different women since then. The lead singer's wife joined them for their third album Invincible. John Cooper, the lead singer of the band is the only original band member. Also, they've had 4 different guitarists not counting Cooper's wife Korey. John Cooper has another band he started recently, they're called Fight the Fury. The current drummer Jen Ledger has her own solo career that she's been working on recently as well. She's just know as Ledger for that. Anyway, the next song you should find by them is Save Me if you haven't already listened or reacted to it. Hope you enjoy it. Skillet is my favorite band.
Bro I’m jealous you have so much more of their music to discover! I would recommend either “Not Gonna Die” or “Monster” next. But honestly you can’t go wrong with any Skillet song.
Skillet's been my favorite band for a super long time. Some songs I'd recommend checking out are Monster, Hero, Whispers In The Dark, Legendary, Sick Of It, Surviving The Game, Circus For A Psycho, and Back From The Dead. You really can't go wrong with any of their stuff, but these are the highlights. They are a Christian band but they're known to tour with other bands that aren't Christian so they have a very diverse fanbase of both Christian and secular listeners
Great reaction... I see that a lot with Skillet (and was my own reaction, as well). A friend (who's friends with the band members) turned me on to them a year or so ago, and I'm completely hooked. :) It was funny, as he's a professor and I'd only heard him talk about classical and John Denver prior to him mentioning them on his podcast. I was like... a metal band?! So, I had to check them out. Yes, Jen is incredible! Trivia: John asked her to play Tom Sawyer by Rush for her tryout to join the band, and she nailed it. Kory and John have toured their entire married life. They have toured about as much as any other band, playing concerts all over the world. 12 time platinum. One of the top selling bands of the 21st century. I guess their song, Monster, holds some kind of streaming record w/ over 4B plays on Pandora. You really should check them out live. Here's a great concert video: th-cam.com/video/NdboG7BJtHo/w-d-xo.html A couple of my favorites (especially live) are Awake and Alive, and Comatose... I love the symphonic metal stuff with cello & violin! Here's a great Jen Ledger drum solo, as well: th-cam.com/video/YqPHZWsS7Zo/w-d-xo.html
There’s a young woman named Elise Trouw that plays every instrument in her music, drums included. I discovered her watching her live looping videos. Quite talented indeed, while not worth a reaction video, still definitely worth watching. She has such a soft beautiful voice that feels very warm.
The lead singer (male) playing bass, his wife is the rhythm guitarist. The dark haired female. The drummer Jenn is not the original drummer, she came on at I think their 3rd album.
Considered to be one of the best female vocalists, Karen Carpenter was the groups drummer originally, there are older videos where she's the main singer while playing the drums. Even if you don't like this type of music, Karen's voice makes it worth listening to.
Jen Ledger, the drummer and backup vocalist, isn’t John’s wife or girlfriend. That’s Korey Cooper, the backup guitarist and keyboardist; John and Korey are married with 2 kids.
I'm late to the game but the lead singer and female guitarist are married. They started skillet together back in the 90s and haven't stopped. The evolution in their music is crazy. Going back to the 90s and now there is a massive difference. They're ability to adapt to the era of music they're in is unmatched honestly.
This band is one of the best rock bands to see live! They put on an excellent show and yes they are a Christian band and most of their lyrics reflect that that if you really listen to them. They are known to have a very good impact for Christ on the bands that they tour with.
The Band Red is very good, you should check them out if you have not already:) I would be glad to list a few of my favorites if you would like to check them out.
Tom Morello, formerly of Rage Against the Machine, is now solo, with his grandson! The track is HOLD THE LINE, all about fighting against huge corporations, he has not stopped activism, all these years. Great fact about Rage, they played in front of the Stock Exchange, and closed it down, for the first time ever!! Check out the vid!! Tom Morello is one of the best ever guitar players I have ever heard, you will enjoy him, and lastly, SCREW BIG CORPORATIONS, STOP BEING A SLAVE TO THEM!!......
Hi, yes they are my favorite CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND!!! When I'm struggling in any way, mentally, physically which is a daily thing for me, stress, sadness I always go to their music and I always feel better. Jen Ledger ( the drummer and co-signer is my mentor as a drummer and who she is as a Christian. I have a TH-cam channel about her and a few things about Skillet. If you're interested in learning more about her just go to my logo beside this comment and check her out!! 😊 God bless. Just so you know the lead singer is married to the other women in the band playing electronic guitar with the purple hair. They have been married for over 25 years now and have 2 beautiful children.
This is a trucking song from the 70s..where truckers are talking to each other on CB radio. Channel 1-9 is the channel they used. Each trucker has a "handle" and Rubber Duck" and "pig pin" are handles....Bears and Smokies are state patrols. Not sure what cities are Flag Town and Shaky town. You should pull up the lyrics for listening to this....th-cam.com/video/lqYTX7parRw/w-d-xo.html
It's so great that you're listening to old stuff. I watched your reaction to Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight." Now can you listen to "Hold On My Heart." You won't regret it.
If you wanna go metal u gotta listen Fear of the dark by Iron Maiden... live version!!! If you just looking for rock songs I've seen u haven't heard Pink Floyd - wish you were here, Another brick in the wall... There's sooooo sooo many... have fun! I'm gonna enjoy this ride , you're cool! All the best
Absolutely rocking band; the members are Christian and they sometimes get more openly religious, but mostly you can interpret their songs multiple ways. You can see the Christian perspective if you want to, or go with something else. I love that about them. You want to blow your mind, listen to "Sometimes" or "Circus for a Psycho". :)
Yes they are Christian and this is definitely a Christian song. Talking about standing up for their faith. Jen is not John's girlfriend. He is married to the female guitar player in the band - Korey
Jen Ledger has been their drummer/back-up singer for several years, but they actually had another female drummer before her called Lori Peters. She was good, but she didn't sing as far as I know.
I know this is not in this category but would love for you to react to Eric Clapton's song Lay down Sally or Credence Clearwater Revivals song Born on the bayou These are just 2 genres there are so many more bands you would love like Styx(Sail Away) , Yes(Roundabout) Just check them out you won't be disappointed,
The girl on guitar kory and the lead singer John are married. Jen the drummer is single and Seth the other guitar guy has a wife and kid to answer who is what in the band
I understand you are Blurring your screen to avoid having your videos blocked. I see quite a few other people who react to videos who do not blur their screen I don’t have an issue. There’s really no point in watching you when I can’t see the video you’re reacting to.

This is the best way I've heard this phrased regarding describing them as a Christian Rock Band. These guys just play good music.
their songs
I bought their first CD when I was stationed in Japan circa 1993
Here are a few of the great Skillet Songs: Awake and Alive, Hero, Monster, Not Gonna Die, Legendary, and their new song that came out a couple weeks ago Surviving the Game.

@@dethincarnate1149 yep couldn't list them all. So many good songs
17
From what I remember this band started around 1996 I think, and the fact their drummer can sing while playing the drums is incredible
There are heaps of women in drums, but its hard to compete with jens technique, stage presence, singing, passion. And plusshe has a tonne of experience
Jen is incredible how many other female drummers or any drummer in general sing as well
@@lucas.2.3.9.4 there are a few, but not as good as Jen
When she first started with skillet she had only been drumming for 4 years and was about to give up because she didnt feel good enough. Korey had to convince her to try out.
@@Rocco1332 yeah I remember hearing about that, and that she learnt double kick in a week
And she was only 17. John said he would not have picked her if he knew that. Thank God he didn’t know.
You need to check out Legendary by Skillet it was the WWE Monday Night Raw intro song for 3 seasons.
The background screams by John are absolutely sick. I love it when he screams. Forsaken, Surviving The Game, Hero (live), The Resistance, and Reach all have fantastic screams. But if you want some really good heavy stuff, check out John Cooper's side project, "Fight The Fury".

You really have to experience them live! Saw them the past two summers, and (as my daughter said), “That was LIT!!)🔥🔥🔥
2 Must Listens.
Awake & Alive
Monster
You Will Not Be Disappointed
They have been recording and touring for more than 20 years. Quality, guitar driven rock
Saw them live a few years ago. Blew the roof off the venue
She started playing drums when she was 14 year old.( odly enough the same age I stated playing as a young girl) She stopped playing for a few years then got a call from Skillet for her to come for an audition when she was also 18 years old.

Yes. Legendary. Surviving the game. Monster. Hero. Can't go wrong with any of them. My favorite band by far!
I'd highly recommend checking out Back From the Dead by Skillet. I can't recommend it enough. It's the kind of song you want to drive fast to.
Seen them 3 times live!!! And they r incredible!
Yeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!! More Skillet!!!! Do “Legendary “ next!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been blessed to have saw skillet 7 times in concert, if you get a chance go to see them they put on a great show.
Great reaction... I see that a lot with Skillet (and was my own reaction, as well).

Yesssss my bro, jen ledger the hidden gem- rob
The rhythm guitarist and the lead singer are the ones who are married. Jen Ledger is the drummer and backup vocals.
The lead singer (male) playing bass, his wife is the rhythm guitarist. The dark haired female. The drummer Jenn is not the original drummer, she came on at I think their 3rd album.
Considered to be one of the best female vocalists, Karen Carpenter was the groups drummer originally, there are older videos where she's the main singer while playing the drums.
Even if you don't like this type of music, Karen's voice makes it worth listening to.
No, it wasn’t Karen Carpenter. Lori Peters.
The Carpenter's became a group in 1969 four years before Lori Peters was born.
I did however look up Lori, she is also talented.
Lead singer is John Cooper, lady playing guitar is his wife korey. Drummer is Jen ledger but I can never remember the other guys name
Seth Morrison
Jen Ledger, the drummer and backup vocalist, isn’t John’s wife or girlfriend. That’s Korey Cooper, the backup guitarist and keyboardist; John and Korey are married with 2 kids.
If you like this song you gotta check out the albums starting with comatose.
Skillet And Rev Theory both fire.
I'm late to the game but the lead singer and female guitarist are married. They started skillet together back in the 90s and haven't stopped. The evolution in their music is crazy. Going back to the 90s and now there is a massive difference. They're ability to adapt to the era of music they're in is unmatched honestly.

If you want another song that has a great outro that Skillet has, try their song Back To Life!
They been out for a while but this album right here is my favorite!
Look into the words and the music!!!
They've been around since the '90s. Used to be just 3 guys, including the current lead singer.
The singer is married to the guitarist. Great song!!!!
And she’s a badass too ❤️
This song just bless my ears haha
You need to check out Sheila E, Pete Escovedo’s daughter then. She’s played and sung with Prince. Great drummer.
Hi, yes they are my favorite CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND!!! When I'm struggling in any way, mentally, physically which is a daily thing for me, stress, sadness I always go to their music and I always feel better.

Total Panhead here! Yes they are Christian!
Check out them singing Awake and Alive!
Check out the drummer Jen ledgers song My arms acoustic on Jenlegendary channel. Also another female drummer is Lux Drummerette for nekromantix
Skillet has been around for over 25 years and has over 10 albums.
Seeing as Halloween is tight around the corner, do Monster by Skillet. You'll like it.
Yessss
Jen isn't John's girlfriend. He's actually married to the other girl playing the guitar. Jen Ledger is badass though! And yes, they love the Lord!
Hanging on by a thread by The Letter Black
Not Dead Yet by Ledger
Great reaction. Check out Legendary if you want a motivating banger. Their newest release Surviving the Game is also a motivating banger.
In Jr. High someone who knew I'm Christian heard me listening to them and said "I didn't know Christians had rock music."
Him: I've never seen a woman plays drum.
All-female rock and metal bands: Are we a joke to you?
You should hear Standing in the storm their newest song. 👌🏼
This is a trucking song from the 70s..where truckers are talking to each other on CB radio. Channel 1-9 is the channel they used.

It's so great that you're listening to old stuff. I watched your reaction to Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight." Now can you listen to "Hold On My Heart." You won't regret it.
you should watch their Official videos of Monster, and then watch Back From The Dead (There's a cool storyline)
Lenny Kravitz had a female drummer who was beyond great. Check out the video for ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way.’
The world has been sleeping on Skillet they have been a band since the 1990s

Recommend the songs “Monster”, and “Surviving the Game.”
Absolutely rocking band; the members are Christian and they sometimes get more openly religious, but mostly you can interpret their songs multiple ways. You can see the Christian perspective if you want to, or go with something else. I love that about them. You want to blow your mind, listen to "Sometimes" or "Circus for a Psycho". :)
Yes they are Christian and this is definitely a Christian song. Talking about standing up for their faith. Jen is not John's girlfriend. He is married to the female guitar player in the band - Korey

Jen Ledger has been their drummer/back-up singer for several years, but they actually had another female drummer before her called Lori Peters. She was good, but she didn't sing as far as I know.

I understand you are Blurring your screen to avoid having your videos blocked. I see quite a few other people who react to videos who do not blur their screen I don’t have an issue. There’s really no point in watching you when I can’t see the video you’re reacting to.
The female guitar and lead singer are married... not the drummer
