Concert Review:
First things FIRST! Whenever I go to a concert my first thought after the concert was it worth my money. And the answer is YES, YES, and YES! A band out of North Carolina that goes by the name Decypher Down opened up the show with heavy rock guitars and melodic vocals. TJ Harris's (Decypher Down) vocals reminded me of Sebastian Bach, with loud, smooth rock sounding vox. Down's original line-up consists of four members, so I was taken back when I saw five members on stage; after looking closer I realized it was Kevin (Lead vocalist) of Disciple playing bass proving he can still run around stage and get the crowd into it. The band Disciple was second in the line-up proving they are more than worthy to be opening up for a very notable band such as Skillet. High energy, hard rocking guitar tones, complex guitar solos, heavy drums, and a melodic / rap / scream / intensity that is all his own vocal style of Kevin Young, brought the house down and prepared the crowd for Skillet. Closing the night, Skillet came on the stage to rocking strings from a violinst they brought with them for the tour. If you have never seen a violinist live with a rock band before it is something you need to witness. It enhanced their already great live show to another level. Skillet brings with them a great light show and gives you a great Rock n Roll show. Interweaving samples, electronic sounds, harmonizing vocals, and intense guitar sounds throughout the live show there is never a time you want to take your eyes off the stage. An added bonus to Skillet's band is a female drummer that hits harder than most dudes I have seen. Check out the tour dates on Skillet's MySpace page, if they are coming close to you, do yourself a favor and check them out......you will not be dissapointed.

What to Watch for: Disciple's high energy show, Skillet's violinist and drummer, Decypher Down's special guest bassist and power lead vocals.
