Skillet

Last night we headed to Nokia to see Puddle of Muddd and Shinedown. To my surprise a band named Skillet opened the show. Now I have heard of them; they actually have a popular song called "Monster" (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/monster/id325821860?i=325821862) on hard rock radio; if you ask me it sounds very similar to "Riot" by Three Days Grace; but we wont get into that. The point was that they were surprisingly good and had a great stage presence. I guess where I am going with this is that often times we go to shows expecting to see our favorite acts and not really give much to attention to to opening acts. Skillet is worth checking out; for a brief moment I was even sure that their lead guitarist was a slimmer Ben Moody (Evanescence). I give these guys a two thumbs up; in fact bought their album this am; THIER WHOLE ALBUM!
