Skillet Carnival of Madness Podcast

In this October edition of Skillet's official podcast, you'll get a quick peek into the Carnival of Madness Tour which ran from August 11 - September 18, 2013 with bands Shinedown, Papa Roach, In This Moment and We As Human. Also, John Cooper talks about life on the road, family and why the sacrifices are worth it.

[@AlphaCodexx197]

This is the reason I love this band. Combining two great things Everything involving God's word and the beats of Rock and Roll that make you want to get up and do something powerful.

[@LeahClearwater07]

Skillet it amazing! It's the band I listent I when I'm mad sad scared lost confused... I love them so much!!!!!!!!! They are my life!

[@daniellelevy8056]

I love Skillet music! The songs, especially the rise album, have spoken to me in ways I've never experienced before. I'm a musician, too: a violist. I don't know where I would be without music and/or God in my life.

[@aj10739]

this is what i love to see! watch everyone of your podcast. really love watching you guys and seeing you interact with your kids and family, can't believe how much they have grown. awesome you are taking the kids with you, sure it will be tough but later when you look back on it i'm sure you and your kids will have great stories to tell and maybe your family will bond even more. god bless the crew in skillet and everyone else, thanks for all that you do:)

[@hakonmyhre6383]

Skillet is THE band that I've "tattooed" into my heart! I love them, their music, and their reasoning behind their music! Everything about them!

[@DieselThePhoenix]

Papa Roach & Skillet??? I just might burst!! :)

[@suzannac.6057]

Skillet _and_ Shinedown ... that would be amazing!

[@Vballgirl06]

[@junmskayer4001]

Skillet u give me hope and joy when I have none.Skillet ur my heros

[@JoshLMusic]

Man I used to listen to Skillet back in the day but not a ton, recently got extremely into them, their music, their message, their energy, lyrics, style, all of it is just super awesome. Haven't been this inspired musically (and even just generally) for a long time...Great feeling.

[@katyshaunavalos33]

I love SKILLET they're awesome and they're my favorite band

[@ZeroLover64]

The end of this video made me cry. I seriously love Skillet, because yes, their songs have had such a huge impact on me and are honestly what have kept me going all this time. I love you guys.

[@ImmortaLHyper]

When john was talking about how he fell in love with music...

[@EllieFeyFox]

Skillet is one of my biggest influences to pursue my own passion for music. You guys are so awesome! Your faith is so inspiring, I love you guys!

[@Hottgmoney]

so no member of skillet is probably ever going to read this, but the son the last night saved my life and has helped me quit cutting. it helped me realize that someone will always be there for me. korey and Jen, I look up to you both SOOO much. I really am glad that you all are helping people. and I appreciate you helping me realize that I'm not alone no matter what I think. see you at alive festival:)

[@maxitae]

Even though I'm an outspoken atheist, I love Skillet, love that John is so passionate about his faith and his family.

[@DTITATE]

Skillet's music is great but their reasoning behind their music is what makes them so great. They helped me through tough times.

[@abigailg9025]

John- I love the part where you are talking. You guys are so amazing and God has such an amazing plan with all of you. Some day I hope I can tell you about all that Skillet has done for me and even how your podcasts have helped me
