Skillet is my all-time favorite band. I've been a fan for almost two years now. A very dedicated fan, at that.

Any other big fans out there? :D
Opinions on Awake?

Skillet = amazing. My favorite band too. I plan to see them in concert later this year. ^_^

I LOVE Awake. Especially Awake and Alive. Comatose is still my favorite, though. Not a huge fan of Collide, but it's okay.

Awesomeness.

I like Collide as probably my second favorite album, at a tough tie with Invincible. Comatose is my favorite, and I can't say about Awake since it's so new.
I think my least favorite is probably, "Hey You, I Love Your Soul". But I do like Take a lot. xP

Have you been to a concert of theirs before? I saw them in May, when they toured with Disciple and Decyfer Down. Pretty rad stuff.

Haha. Skillet never disappoints. ^^
I've never been to a concert of theirs although I've been wanting to for a long while now since my parents wouldn't let me. But now they've said maybe, so yeah. Hopefully I'll be able to go. /not a panhead yet

Yeah, surely you'd love it. They are really amazing in concert; even better than on the CDs, in my opinion.

But, the Comatose Comes Alive DVD/CD is really awesome if you can't go to a concert.

Ah, really? From the live videos I've seen on Youtube it seems that there's a lot of cheering going on from the crowd. Does it make it hard to hear them at all?

I'll check that out. Thank you~!

Well, there is some cheering going on, but the attention is still turned on the band. It's pretty cool, really just something you have to experience for yourself, you know?
I went to the concert in Mequon, Wisconsin, which wasn't really that crowded. The people up really close to the stage were jumping up and down and cheering and singing along and everything, but I could still hear the music really well; it was really loud. xD The problem with live videos taken from people in the crowd is that most normal video cameras don't produce that great of sound quality, especially when the person right next to you is jumping up and down and screaming.

You're welcome. :D

Wow, sounds amazing. ^_^ *definitely now wants to go* :o Hopefully some of my friends might want to come with me. One of them said that they thought John's voice sounded weird, hahaha. But she still might come anyway. XD And yeah, probably the video cameras do ruin the sound quality. Are you allowed to tape?

As far as I know, yes.

I don't really understand why so many people think John's voice is weird. xD It's just... unique. I don't even know how to describe it correctly, though. One site called his vocals, "gravelly." xD

I've only heard a few of their songs, so I can't really call myself a fan. But I've liked what I heard. ^_^

:D Which songs would those be?

I love skillet! One of my all time favorite bands fav song by them is Looking For Angels

That's cool. :D

Awesome.
*hopes to buy tickets soon before they possibly sell out* XD

Haha, gravelly? xP I guess his voice is sorta like that, but it's way cool anyway.

Looking for Angels is pretty good. ^^

I love Skillet! I love them like a Panhead does, but I haven't done odd stuff though. Next time I go I'm bringing a frying pan.

Oh, and has anyone watched the podcasts where John trips over his amp and does a somersault?

I love Skillet, You don't find many bands like Skillet. I love Savior, even though the song genre is Christian. (I don't practice any religion. I don't believe in god.)

That's okay, ClueWho. They're open people, so they make their music for anybody who wants to listen. :D

Haha, I wanted to do that, MocknozzieRiver, but my arm would have been aching. xD Cast iron skillets are heavy, man.
And yeah, I've seen that podcast. It's hilarious. xD

Woohoo, the Monster video is out! :DDD Go on alternativeaddiction.com, scroll down to their music video panel, and it should be on there. View it on full screen. It's really, really awesome.

Uh the songs I've heard were, "Whispers in The Dark", "Falling Inside The Black", and apparently it's one of their newer songs, "Monster."

Yeah, the first two were from their 2006 album, Comatose, and Moster is from their newest, Awake, which was released on August 25th.

Waah, the video is awesome ^_^

I have all the podcasts on my iPod they`re so fuuny! I wish I could watch Monster on the phone but there`s no video capabilities...

Yeah, I heard that they have the iPod files for them now. I want to get them. xD

Ben is making a new podcast that they made when they were on the Monster set, supposedly.

I think it's already out (the behind Monster set podcast) on Youtube.

Is it? Haha, wow, I'm behind. xD

Yup. It's pretty awesome.
