Can Skillet Guess Their Own Songs? | Song Battle

Jen is just so perfect. But I love Skillet so so much. I'm not religious in any form, but I remember seeing an interview with John and he said it doesn't matter what religion you are or even if you're not religious then it doesn't matter. Its the love of of music that matters. But These guys and Black Veil Brides have got me through so many tough times, and I will never be able to thank them enough. I love you guys so much.

[@nu-agegamer3548]

Sadly John would end up backpedaling on that as he now rubs his religion in people's faces. Between White Horse on that garbage known as Dominion, his temper tantrum about Deconstruction and him celebrating the repeal of Roe v. Wade like a frickin child, he is definitely not the humble man he used to be. (And yes, I am a Skillet fan)

[@shadowscythes]

@@nu-agegamer3548 People on the internet really love showing their opinions in people's faces don't they? I love Dominion and it's my favourite album.

[@thatsmynamesowhat2949]

lol, I can promise you he didn’t say that. John Cooper sets spreading the gospel higher than any song he’s ever written. There’s no way he said it doesn’t matter if you’re a Christian or not.

[@glenbrown3011]

[@thatsmynamesowhat2949]

You're the one making the claim, so show me where I can hear it. If you ever care to listen to John Coopers' podcast and how he sets the gospel in the highest regard, then you will see why I'm skeptical. John is a staunch Christian who believes Jesus is the only way to heaven.@@glenbrown3011

Kind of embarrassed for Jen & Seth, but I guess being part of the band, you're not constantly listening to the old catalogue of songs. It was awesome that stand up was included, that was a great song. It would've been cool to include a bonus song from Alien Youth (like "always the same"), maybe a song from Alkeme and Seraph!

[@thediciple40channel11]

To be fair, I think that song came out before Jen and Seth were in the band

[@senditkevin]

I don't blame Jen and Seth for nit knowing the old stuff. In the off time when not writing or touring I would think they wouldn't want to listen to the band they play in. Heard their new album a few months ago and thought it was really good, there were a few times where I thought they could have gone into a breakdown or something heavy, but everything worked well together for their style. Awake and Comatose are classic albums.

[@gaiaorigin9569]

Jen joined the band in 2008 and Seth in 2011, the album Skillet was released in 1996 and Invincible in 2000. Plus they don't really play the songs from their very first albums live anymore. So Jen and Seth probably don't really know these songs that well

[@DayDreamingWriters]

It makes sense for Jen and Set not know songs before "Rise" and "Awake" since they joined later to band, as Jen joined to band in 2008(Year before making "Awake") and Seth joined in 2011 (Year before "Rise" album) What would be embarresing if Jonh actually, didnt regonized his songs, since he is in Skillet since 1996, when he created the band.

[@lorirocks777]

@@DayDreamingWriters I don't know if I'd say that, because if I were joining a band, it'd be pretty important that I like them and that would include knowing their whole catalogue pretty well. That may have been the case when they joined, perhaps it was the factor of time.

A part of me was hoping for even more early Skillet like the Alien Youth album, along with early songs like "Whirlwind" and "Saturn." It was nice to see the OG album get love. Glad to see "Monster" and "Legendary" in there, as those are all time greats. Their current stuff is good too, but somehow I've been a fan of theirs sing jump off and on. "Kill Me, Heal Me" and "Alien Youth" are a couple of excellent songs in between their 90s rock moving towards their metal like current sound afterwards. It's funny how normal they are (sound normal, their showmanship and talent musically is insane), because how intense they are STILL after 20+ years for John and Korey is nuts.
