[wuteveritakes06]

@DeaneRenata were you drunk when you typed this..?

[DeaneRenata]

NO YOU NEED TO GO EVERYWHERE!!!

[DeaneRenata]

OMG MY BEST FRIEND WAS A PANHEAD!!!!

[DeaneRenata]

PAMNHEADS!!!!!!!!!!!

[tjompiskompis]

I'm glad Lori quitted herself, beacuse first, I thought that They kicked out Lori for Jen o.o

[Skillet684]

not trying to be rude but original is better i dont like this version...

[theqrokz]

although jen is hotter lori is a more familiar face

[RoseyFNB]

Great song it has alot of meaning to me

[lilmisscheesemonger]

4 people are losers

skillet is amazing

[vidwath1998]

Awesome!!

[Jakob0andreas]

Shit they are great live.

[aloisi52]

yes their songs are definetly awsome and they have the quality , but to be honest they suck on acoustic shows..

[cody76899]

hey your my fav band keep rocking

[rtcw94]

@skorrpain that is the old drummer for skillet Jen is the new one now

[dreamrequiem212]

I totally saw a show on the tour with B.B. TDG and Seether he was just talking about. lol that's cool

[sanditebaby16]

Raspy voice or not, they're amazing.

[manthisisboring]

@sanditebaby16 as rtcw94 she is the old drummer She elft for personal reasons. She said she needs to start do new things life other than play drums which she played for the band for abt 13-15 years. She trained jen before she retired so no wonder jen can play drums well.

[Skorrpian]

is it just me or does Jen look far more older from music videos where she's all prettied =)

this is the only song that has something to do wiht my life. im may not be cristian, my religeon is music. Make sense?

p.s. I still haven't talked to my "father" I tryed. He left again.

Sorry for making you's that much sadder =( but im happy Skillet are awesome band and awesome music.

[Emiliouus]

@rubyylovee yes she did :D

[kcfootball09]

whens the next time you guys are coming to wichita? i missed the last time you guys came

[haboxD]

3:08 for song to start

[w1ll1a3]

LOVE SKILLET AND THE OLDER I GET!!!

[panheadgirlofskillet]

like john said at a concert in indiana, he either sings raspy, or raspier lol! :D rock on skillet!

[cobra5158]

Lori is one of the best drummers alive today

[megadeathly]

fuc dat shit jen is ftw whoever that is is fail

[Duck387]

Umm, that's Lori Peters. She's the one that WROTE all the incredible drum parts that Jen plays. She was Skillet's drummer for 8 years & has been drumming for about 20 years--longer than Jen has been alive. I love Jen, but don't hate on Lori. She's amazing.

[defender2085]

True that, Jen's amazing (and very cute I may say) but Lori is amazing!!!!!!

[qwe0607]

@Duck387 megadeathly... next time could you right something that doesnt make me try to read?

[Emiliouus]

@Duck387 Lori Peters was the best and she also trained Jen Ledger ;p

[fmbighair]

@Duck387 so Jen just played on the recent album?  When and why did Lori leave the group?

[Duck387]

@fmbighair Lori left two years ago for personal reasons. She was ready to just kind of start a new phase of life, & she's doing really well. She still plays drums for her church. :o)

[Skillet1905]

@Duck387 : and she teached jen all the drum parts of every song

[jocking0]

agreed

[mcnastyrangerz]

John wrote this song fo his dad

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

did lori peters quit the band or get fired?

[rckr993]

she quit the band she said she wanted to persue other things in life

[jarjar0930]

she resigned since she felt it was time to "move on"

[hellgatester2]

retired i think

[runnerguy345]

they were at creation... im pretty sure that means they're christian

[DimwitFilms]

yea, their most definately christian. i'm a BIG skillet fanatic, so i guess i should kno, lol.

[GasolineB0mb]

just because they didnt go on tour with that band doesnt mean theyre not Christian!!!! they r majorly Christian

[whyamisoawesomedude]

if theyre a christian band, why did they go on tour w/ Godsmack??

[whwatson89]

to spread the love of jesus christ to the place and the people that need it the most!

[whyamisoawesomedude]

makes sense

[prophet5th]

Skillet is comprised of Christians, and they have a lot of christian overtones in their songs, but they try not to limit themselves to the genre of christian music. Partly to keep their musical options open and partly because as soon as a lot of people hear the words "Christian" and "Rock" in the same sentence people switch off. Guess they just figured that it would be a sick tour. Did I answer your question?

[awesomness4u]

i love skillet!!!

he probably shouldnt have drank coffee before this tho.. lol

i was in my church choir and before we got on stage for our anual christmas thing they were serving coffee and our choir leader said dont drink coffee you wont be able to sing well, waters the best thing to drink; im guessing thats why johns voice sounded a lil "cracky" lol

[hmveteran]

I think it's naturally like that, It sounded really similar when i saw them live.

[josephpoprock10]

skillet you guys are the best!!

[xoxTripleAxox]

i absolutle adore this song <3 the beginning is so beautiful, especially the acoustic version :)

[KellyAnnoh9]

This is absoluetly one of my favorite songs of all time. <3

[wwerock]

loveee it =D

[THBheadleader]

still sounds 100 times better than me :S

[kaoninuchiha]

obviously it would

[jesusfreak34988]

his voice doesnt sound that bad always

[wwerock]

i think his voice sounds amazing always lol

[jesusfreak34988]

i hope he doesnt ruin his voice when he is older

[bambambarefooter]

why would he ruin his voice?

[jesusfreak34988]

because when he amount of screaming and raspy voice so like the lead singer for audio A from singing the rock music for years it wears on the voice

[bambambarefooter]

screaming does ruin your voice if you dont have an immunity buit up think of it as a calus with playing guitar on your fingers the first day i played a guitar i played until my fingers bled but i played the next day and the next day and my fingers built up an "imunity" to the guitar strings (caluses) dont sceam until your throught bleeds just practice a little bit a day and you will build up a immunity in your throught good luck

[OneXxIII]

there's a good difference between the fingers and the throat/voice box/whatever you wanna call it. you dont' build callouses on your throat.

[NoobsGetOwned4Life]

is his voice sore or something?

[Duck387]

No John's voice always sounds like that.

[NoobsGetOwned4Life]

sry im not skillet pro ;]

[ydnapier199]

@Duck387 i think his voice is a little sore, it's more raspy than usual. he did say that they played concerts everyday the month before this one. it's would make sense if his throat is worn-out a bit.

[raisedfist80]

@Duck387 not always, his voice is raspy but  on the video the voice sounds bad.

[killdevilshill123]

is skillet a christian band?

[rockermeaghan94]

yeh

[ilovemymutzy]

Yes they are :)

[kacieglamourrr]

yes.

[socalgrl1214]

yes :)

[hearmerarw]

I definantly like jen better! I saw skillet in concert and i touched johns fogiven tatoo!

[YukimaruYoshida]

I can relate. I'm planning on making up with my parents, but only when I'm out of the house so we can't scream at each other anymore. I've tried, but as long as I live with them, I sound like a hypocrite when I apologize and then end up fighting again...So this song has a lot of meaning to me.

[anestheticangels]

me too.. its sad, really. I just wish i could be myself around them and have a sit down talk, but every time i try, someone feels like theyre getting preached at or gets offended. I have a feeling it'll be even more akward after highschool, but hopefuly theyll look at me more like an adult and less of a student.

[emily091]

i love this song : )

[Akabane101]

wow they helped breaking benjamin!??!?!?!!?!?!?

[93rdlegand]

Was that skillet or another band playing the song?

[chrislo06]

are you kidding? seems like your not a skillet fan. thats skillet for sure!!

[didleydoo1332]

it be skillet i love them

[ErikaNR93]

ur slow man

[ErikaNR93]

im talking to 93rdlegand

[BalanceofEternity]

what are the chords john is using...anyone know?

[hughman174]

his voice is so killer and the drummer is phenomenal

[tsamneb]

sometimes i worry about john's voice holding out for much longer. if his voice dies, so will all of my hope for humanity.

[didleydoo1332]

his voice is not going to dang it mayby he was just sick that day or somthing

[xXxByrdManxXx]

his voice started giving out at the tail end of the song O_O

[JonathansGurl91]

haha I loved how John said "we have tow kids and they're really cute" ^__^ and they are adorable hehe. this song rocks and so does Skillet!!

[horse1st]

skillet<33 xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[komet39wildcat18]

I thought their drummer was jen, Or his she new?

[Duck387]

Jen Ledger is their drummer now, she took over for Lori Peters in January of this year. Lori was with the band about 8 years.

[komet39wildcat18]

ok, cause I saw skillet at sonshine last year and i thought the drummer looked different now, but they're both blonde which makes it harder

[Demondomwow]

same here pinoii i actually never heard of this band until i heard that song.. a friend of mine recomended them.. there an awsome band =] song actually has a lot of meaning great job guys =D

[Pinoiii]

After hearing this song, I am now a Skillet fan.

[XxXxskatergirl13XxXx]

I LOVE SKILLET

im like there biggest fan.

i swear omg.

love em

[Rock4Skillet2]

no im there BEST FAN!!!

[JonathansGurl91]

lolz we're all their biggest fan haha ^__^

[gabrielfinzetto]

muitooo masaaaaaaaaaaaa parabens

[jediknight28]

Actually Three Days Grace and Skillet really sound alike

[darkmark114]

yea but there is 1 big difernence....skillt is christian:)

[Codysb]

basically the only difference is John has a slightly deeper voice and its naturally raspy and Skillet has a lot more up beat songs versus tDG still love both bands though and yea they sound really similar!

[chipmonk51264]

i wish people would just stop leaving i mean it gets confusing.

i dont think korey will leave coz of john and it would also be difficult to find johns voice again coz its unique so he probly wont leave. and he said he was married to her so they will probly stay together in the band

[Duck387]

I miss Lori, but after seeing their new drummer Jen I definitely like her as much if not more. If John & Korey decide to "leave" that will be the end of Skillet.

[chipmonk512]

i havnt seen jen yet apart from in the older i get video but i will miss lori

[bht97]

Yea i wouldnt like Skillet if John and Korey leave!!

[didleydoo1332]

if john and coory leave i will hunt them down and takel them and tell them they had better go back in or els

xD

[ibanez6k]

i don't feel like arranging for this one, but the album version i use capo on 5.

verse= E,G,C bridge= A,B,C chorus=G,D,A,B,C

[arandomperson240]

what is the chord progression?

[blackness1747]

we saw them with 3DG, seether, and breaking benjamin... great show.

[icouldnotgetaname]

that was a kick ass show...

[gr33nday1946]

that tour was the shit. did anyone see 3dg, breaking benjamin, and seether when they were with hurt??

[opcer]

why is she leaving?! no!

[Duck387]

She's already gone, her last show was Dec. 31.  Their new drummer's name is Jen Ledger.

[opcer]

oh thanks

[xsh3ldonxppc]

seriously???? WHAT lori was such a good drummer a great asset to skillet, why did she leave???

[jediknight28]

yah

i wonder wat the new drummer is like

[bht97]

Her name is Jen dont worry she rocks just as awesome!! + She is from London!!!

[Desir3d]

Yeah I seen her live, she is an amazing vocalist, she is so very beautiful, and She is an amazing drummer.

[bht97]

Yea she can sing good!

[rockstar1218]

She is incredible!

[JonathansGurl91]

she is totally awesome ^__^ her name is Jen and she rocks as much as Lori did ha

[didleydoo1332]

jen is cooler that lori

[JonathansGurl91]

haha pretty much but Lori was a great drummer too

[ligerdrag20]

i think she rocks harder....but lori was an awesome drummer and she really will be missed

[skilletpanhead]

i luv skillet i am seein them on march 13 and lori is one of th best drummers on earth even if it doesnt look like it on here but watch a vid of a live concert or one of her drum solos and u will no what i mean

[Duck387]

Yeah Lori is the best. Did you hear she is leaving the band? :o(

[skilletpanhead]

what noooo

y

y

y

y

y

[skilletpanhead]

that sux

[breip]

Where did you hear that??

[Duck387]

From Korey.

[SkilletFanGirl2007]

What? Why is she leaving??

[Godspeed117]

Alright she is good but Neal Pert is the best drummer of all time. Search "Rush Limelight" to hear him.

[gatorfan62]

dude ur soo lucky.. he pointed at u! Id melt.... id like pass out. and then die!! lol

[EvenStar717]

that girl is their real drummer? shes awful!!!

[Duck387]

No she's not she freaking rocks. Have you seen them live? Check back when you've seen their rock show.

[gatorfan62]

Lori is amazing like she said go see them live some time. ur retarted if u think Lori is bad

[kkewl]

lets hear you play then asshole

[kasicarocks]

search this site for "Lori Peters drum solo",

you'll probably have your mind changed, dude.

When she does acoustic stuff, she does look like she doesn't know what she's doing, but if you see their rock show, you'll see what she can do.

[moakabeans]

Lori? Hell no! She is awesome! Have you seen her in concert?!

[aknlbragg22]

LUV SKILLET

[calncooper]

dude that funny as: "korey was like that not nice" and i was like "shut up" classic

[deathslayer098]

Skillet Rox!!!

[shortytwig]

wtf is skillet doing touring with godsmack and seether. skillet is a christian band. seether and godsmack arent

[EvadingFate]

Skillet is trying to go more mainstream lately. Just because their music has a message doesn't mean that they shouldn't play with other bands with similar types of music who have fans that will most likely enjoy skillet's sound.

[wmoore027]

the majority of the people that need to hear the message is not at Church concerts or Christian events they are out there at mainstream rock concerts, a real good way to go out and spread the Word

[cheeseleaflove]

also it is a good way to reach out to others that are'nt it is the same thing as people being christians with friends that aren't.

[yohanzo]

wow... great upload. thanks ^_^v

[Duck387]

No problem, it was a great show.

[acoustiguy]

Yeah. this song is so awesome, it's the story of my life

[fashionfroggie]

As is the story of mine. I think its that way with a lot of people.
