First time hearing Skillet - Monster

Click this link to subscribe: bit.ly/SubscribeToFlickeringbox
This was Burch's first time hearing Skillet Monster, one of Alexis's favorite bands. It was strange for her to bring a rock song that Burch had never heard before. Her father took her to see them when she was 12. In the video, Alexis also gives Burch is rap name. ‪@skilletband‬

Yes, they are still active. Their 11th album, Dominion, was released in 2022. Formed in 1996 , the lineup has been constant since guitarist Seth Morrison joined in 2011. Lead singer, John Cooper, and rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper are husband and wife. Jen Ledger on drums. Alexis, please show Burch a song that includes some of Jen's vocals, like "Awake and Alive", "Hero", or "Feel Invincible".

[@matt0495]

Agreed!!! Good songs to hear as well… Hero was used by NFL as well for several games and ads!! Worth the listen…. Jen’s power percussions and vocals add a lot to the band!

[@bradfordcoffinger4534]

Yes.

[@Theworldaccordingtosteve101]

Skillet has a song called Invincible that ya'll might appreciate

[@xtrmfc]

Yes, Yes Play that one … 🤘🏼😁

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

Feel invincible love it 🤘

[@mikenastasi8927]

Fun Fact: STRYPER was a huge influence on singer, bassist John Cooper

[@OptimisticSeaMonster-hc5bd]

I saw STRYPER WITH SLAYER IN 88 IN A CLUB CALLED THE AGORA BALLROOM IN HARTFORD CONNECTICUT THERE WAS A BLIZZARD GOING ON BUT THE SHOW WAS PACKED IT WAS CALLED THE HEAVEN AND HELL TOUR

[@jasonpriddy7828]

You could see her grin when her part was coming up,anyone who knows this song knew what her part was

[@donjackson5522]

Loved how Alexis was singing along too.

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

Awake & Alive by Skillet! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@timothyherbst1538]

I love awake & alive also. The violin in rock is awesome and when Jen and John both sing it’s better.

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

@@timothyherbst1538 Couldn't agree more! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@twisted2291]

Skillet is still around and doing shows. They still rock. And they are not to be confused with the DJ/ Producer Skrillex.

[@WWStudio360]

Skillet is still highly popular and active in the music scene.

[@shygemini6893]

Flyleaf is another great band! 🙂

[@jonathanbouthillette753]

This album and Comatose are bangers

[@donjackson5522]

The Comatose album and Collide were both nominated for a Grammy.

[@truckingitup990]

skillet still puts out music. the drummer jen ledger also has her own music thats pretty good.

[@matthewcompton3448]

Here's a few fun facts about Skillet: Their fans are called Panheads. Skillet had been around since the mid 1990's. Their first album came out in 1996. John Cooper, lead singer and bass player, is the only original member of the band. His wife, Korey, joined the band in 2000 playing keyboards. She now is more of a rhythm guitar player, but still plays keys as well. The current drummer, Jen Ledger, is Skillet's second female drummer. She took over for Lori Peters, who retired after being in the band from 2000-2008. Awake, the album that features "Monster", was the first album Jen recorded with Skillet. As of 2022, Skillet has recorded 11 studio albums, and 2 live albums.

[@donjackson5522]

Korey does most of the mixing and production work herself also. She is amazing and can do everything. Tate Olson also plays cello for the band. I miss Jonathan Chu playing violin. Such an incredible violinist.

[@justinwilder3514]

Skillet is a great rabbit hole. The early 00’s Christian metal was taking over! They did the heavier radio rock style who reached out to people who weren’t Christian because they always needed this and not the judgment that came from some of the more gospel type Christian music. Awake and alive, not gonna die give the drummers vocals more shine, whispers in the dark and comatose give more of their heavier side!

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

1 of my favorite Rock Bands

[@jameywallace5010]

I’ve seen Skillet 7 times! They are awesome and still going!

[@jackchasteen8387]

Hey Alexis, I'd say you nailed your part!! 🙂👍

[@gregcissell345]

You need to check out Hero or Awake and Alive to hear Jen sing she’s the drummer.

[@nathanfisher1826]

They are great live😊

[@ralphanderson3316]

I've heard this song before and loved it. I didn't know any background on them. I did have to go back and hear it again full volume with my headphones. Awesome! Alexis's rocking to, and mouthing the lyrics, was true enthusiasm. Great video guys!

[@user-nh2bb1he3q]

Great song! Really enjoyed hearing that, but the highlight was watching Alexis rockin' out and singing along! I hope she brings more rock videos to the channel because this was a lot of fun.

[@kenhutch7727]

🎇🎇🎇SABATON 1916, NO BULLETS FLY, 🎇🎇🎇 History in music so well done. You will get hooked.

[@1brokemofo2023]

need to hear the song invincible and the song whispers in the dark....both awesome songs. great choice alexis!!!! when this came out it played heavily on radio

[@matthewcompton3448]

Skillet's sound has changed over the years. If you'd like to hear how much it's changed, I'd recommend listening to "Locked in a Cage" (1998), "Best Kept Secret" (2000), "Alien Youth" (2001), "You Are My Hope" (2001) - Featuring Korey Cooper sharing vocals, "Savior" (2003), "Rebirthing (2006)" - Featuring Korey Cooper sharing vocals, "Awake and Alive" (2009) - Start of current format with Jen Ledger sharing vocals.

[@ronaldsobotta2196]

Skillet still rocks. They have a bunch of great songs in their catalog as well.

[@donjackson5522]

Skillet has had connections with WWE for quite some time. Their latest single, Psycho In my Head, was used for WWE Smackdown recently.

[@bradfordcoffinger4534]

Saw them 3 months ago. They were awesome.

[@jessicahouser4823]

They released a deluxe version of their 2022 album last year with bonus tracks. "Monster" came out in 2009.

[@wompa70]

Yeah, they’re still releasing albums. The last one was in 2022.

[@timstinewal1745]

Yes Skillet is still performing. Front man and wife lives in Kenosha WI

[@thecabinetninja5637]

I saw this tour, seeing them perform Monster on Halloween! So intense and so cool!

[@jasongoad1084]

Love some Skillet!!

[@Rocker1983]

These guys are so good live!

[@zachariahsalinas7071]

The movie Resident Evil is based on the video game series Resident Evil. It's the English name for the series. The original Japanese name for the series is called Biohazard.

[@swbigfan1]

Gotta check out some of their more recent releases, like Legendary.

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks guys! Have really been enjoying your content and been dropping in pretty regularly. SKILLET, while primarily a Christian Rock band, desn't require you to be religious or spiritual to enjoy or appreciate their music. They have a really good catalog and are definitely still rocking! I'm 63 this year and haven't looked myself into a period or genre. While my preference is rock and Metal, I like good music wherever it is. I went through a period when I thought I'd heard everything worth hearing. I quit exploring. About 15 years ago, my KIDS introduced me to DISTURBED. I haven't stopped exploring since. But SKILLET was another one that my KIDS turned me into. FALLING INSIDE THE BLACK by Skillet is another great track. I could probably name off several tracks, but FALLING is top of mind. Subscribed!!

[@willardwilson1127]

Skillet is still ROCKING for Jesus. Their drummer Jen Ledger is FANTASTIC!!! I saw them live here in Indianapolis. AMAZING!!

[@patrickfournier5604]

Yes please more Skillet ❤️‍🔥💥🤩

[@jlm10181978]

Hero and Awake and alive are two must watch videos!

[@SWAM4Life]

I’ve seen them live a few times now and they’re absolutely amazing! I prefer when John and Jen both sing, but I like everything this band does.

[@gatesofsteel1]

Skillet IS awesome. Thanks for this review. I'm pushing 60 and have been a fan since the late 90s. Seeing them live, he talks about his influences were we all thing Head Bangers Ball, especially iron Maiden. Check invincible, Back From the Dead, The Resistance and Psycho inMy Head.

[@user-mp5uw7rb1s]

Love Skillet and I’m almost 60! My kids introduced me to them. Try Ghost next!

[@LeGaulois_5]

Yeah Skillet

[@bobbyboy2205]

Love the drummers voice,seen skillet supporting nickelback in Glasgow years back and they were great

[@doobiedave9686]

I haven't listened to much Skillet, but they have a Three Days Grace/Nickelback/Creed sound to them. Great pick Alexis, great reaction y'all. 👍🙏✌️

[@VERMEER2440]

I really enjoy Skillet have their own playlist I listen to. There were quite a few Christian Rock bands from that era. Y’all should check out “Thousand Foot Krutch” “P.O.D.” and “Pillar”. All have their own style but their songs are structured like Skillets. Also after watching other reaction channels no one else has discovered these gems from the 2000’s. Really enjoy the reactions…great job you 2!

[@mikenastasi8927]

P.O.D. predates Skillet.

[@AR.WalkerClan]

Also Petra, Servant, Bryan Duncan, Steve Taylor, Leon Patillo, Steven Curtis Chapman...

[@larrycalvert4040]

Don’t forget Red

[@Skilletfan]

Yes, they’ve very much still active. Their last album was only 2 years ago, and they were on tour last year.

[@lexiusnez6513]

Yup. Gotta have some Skillet.

[@sshumkaer]

Skillet is still active

[@metalmark1214]

Has the sound of Grunge Rock.

[@mikenastasi8927]

Skillet is still current. This video actually had MTV airplay, whatever that's worth these days. It was on demand however on cable.

[@dannymoore6886]

I saw Skillet open for Alter Bridge at the open of their 2019 tour in Baltimore. I had never heard of them. I enjoyed their show.

[@boromirjonah5774]

My favorite song of theirs is "savior" Their first album which sounded more grunge has a grfeat track called "saturn" "stars" is great too Their music is mostly toned down like you said but they are very unapologetic in their faith. I saw them once in concert.

[@dougpennington9759]

They are still touring. Every August they play at Wild Adventures

[@kimtalley4496]

The lady drummer is Jen Ledger. The frontman & the other woman in the band is John & Kori Cooper.

I hear some 3 days grace in there sound !!! Alex will love 3days ❤️check them out!!!animal i've become or I hate everything about you!!!!✌️

[@stevereeb2950]

Awake and alive , surviving the game , not gonna die tonight , psycho in my head are some other great songs you should do by Skillet . Seen them this last summer for the fifth time over the last twenty years . Great band with a great message .

[@Iliyena87]

Going on a run the song Hero with Skillet is in the core-playlist since 2009 ^_^

[@Skilletfan]

John Cooper, the front man, has a beard now, and he looks awesome!

[@Rocco1332]

Lucky, a certain pandemic messed with my plans to see them live for the first time :(. Should definitely check out their songs Legendary (was a theme for wrestling for a bit so you know it rocks), Bask to Life, Finish Line, Ignite, Standing in the Storm, Not Gonna Die (great back and forth with John and Jen), Psycho in my Head....if you like Monster you'll like those ones. John (vocal/bass) and Seth (guitar) have a side project called Fight the Fury. Jen (Drums/vocals) has a project called Ledger. Both worth checking out.

[@mikenastasi8927]

I've seen Skillet open for Creed in 2010 & seen them with Dirty Honey open for Alter Bridge in 2019. They're tough to follow live. Great band & great live band.

[@rennser]

Loved Burch's reaction to the change of Feel Like A Monster into a monster voice. Great song but I think you would like Invincible. Burch you need to take a look at Jen Ledger drumming live, she has so much energy and when she does back up vocals too. Impressive

[@azuredragon7879]

Highly recommend listening to either of Skillet's songs "Awake and Alive" or "Hero". Both contain Jen Ledger (the drummer) also contributing to vocals.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Damn Skilett is pure fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@mjc1389]

This was definitely over played on rock radio. Still a great song! Skillet to me was a band that when I heard a song on the radio and looked it up I’d be like “huh, that’s Skillet, noicee”.

[@nateash6531]

There song the resistance really rocks!

[@craigbessette9871]

They still release music and are awesome

[@Thecincyclips]

Jen Ledger is the drummer and also does complimentary vocals. You should play one of the songs where she sings. (Awake and Alive, Hero, Resistance, Feel Invincible, to name a few)

[@hunterwise5156]

Still make music and are still a pretty big band

[@jonfazzone5125]

To see the “New” Skillet. Check out The Song “Hero” or “Awake & Alive”. The New Drummer Jenn Ledger also Sings in both of these Amazing Songs

[@bretthiggins9771]

I heard they are trying to release a new album next year

[@dancing_odie]

I love Stephen Lynch lol. Ive been a long time fan of his

[@philipspalding4745]

John and Korey Cooper are husband and wife John is lead singer and bass guitar Korey is rhythm guitar Jen Ledger is drummer and Seth Morrison is lead guitar so many good songs that they have bit my favorites are Feel Invincible and Hero

[@gj4301]

Hero, and Awake and Alive are couple good ones

[@mikenastasi8927]

Skillet fans are called Pan Heads and I've been one since their 1st album in 1997, which was very grungish, but they changed their style multiple times. My favorite Skillet album is Collide (2003). They really hit their groove and found their niche with the album Collide. Everything after was similar but not quite as edgy.

[@jlm10181978]

Special Olympics by Stephen Lynch is hilarious

[@amysson5151]

You should do the official video for ‘Sweep The Leg’ by the band Family Force 5.

[@donjackson5522]

Saw Family Force Five at Winterjam, I want to say it was 2014. They are even better live.

[@thiefgold0913]

Def leppard's pyromania or high n dry would be a great reaction so many great songs.

[@keithpederson9912]

lead singer and female guitarist, married. Jen Ledger, i fell in love with her first video i seen of skillet. for her to rock out drumming and singing.

[@jeffspangler2367]

Stephen Lynch’s Craig ? Tiny little mustache? I’m here for that

[@Renovion]

You have to do the video of Skillet's - Lucy it is a good story, probably need to have a tissue handy.

[@dontletherspeak7575]

Check out Flyleaf. One of the best female lead metal bands. Skillets drummer Jen models her voice after Flyleaf's singer.

[@amysson5151]

PLEASE review ‘Rawkfist’ by Thousand Foot Krutch. She’ll like it. Sooooooo many good Christian songs/bands go unrecognized; not enough exposure. Skillet lead singer is married to the female guitarist. The lead singer (John Cooper) now has a face full of beard like everyone else. But if you don’t review ‘Rawkfist’ by TFK, at least give it a listen in your private life. Kudos on the channel. It makes me feel like a monster.

[@roderickmiller3327]

That singer sounded like the original singer from THREE DAYS GRACE

[@user-fd1ye7mn6t]

If you are going into Skillet, you should listen to "the last night"

[@AlanPlaks]

A great song choice for a great reaction song would be "Yes-Roundabout". It's kind of a longer song and the studio version would be the best the first time listening. Just to take in all the various complexity of music alone.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Please react to their song Invincible and Not gonna die 😊

[@jimmybrooks7829]

Please do at least one stephen lynch song, just one lol. Its something everyone should hear at least once!

Another amazing fact. She was only 18 when she started playing with Skillet.

My recommendation for a song to review is Metallica's "Until it Sleeps"

[@cabowabovhnut]

Not a Skillet song but you should do Monsters by Shinedown, it is excellent just like this song!
