I find Skillet very melodic and that was good enough reason to go and see the band at Warsaw Stodoła last night. I took loads of shots from a distance away and, fortunately, a handful of them came out half-okay, such as the one of John Cooper below:
Skillet did a 90-minute set, my favourite tunes of the night having to be 'Sick of It' and 'Awake and Alive' (my two favourite Skillet tunes). To be honest, I find most Skillet songs anthemic, having a great bouncy sing-along quality.
The Stodoła was also packed out, far more crowded than I'd expected it to be.
Was just a bit disappointed that John Cooper didn't give a longer chat about the band's born-again Christian beliefs, as it's this dimension that makes the band a bit different for me.
Was also a touch strange that the band didn't seem to come back on stage for a single encore after the 90-minute set. But as I was watching the end of the concert on the screen in the Stodoła bar area (above), I could see that the security at the front of the stage were having a lot of problems trying to catch teeny-boppers crowd surfing. So maybe this had something to do with it, or maybe it's just Skillet's way to avoid (often predictable) encores.
