Skillet - Monster Acoustic (Live)

[alivebyhim1]

why do you always play chords when you use acoustic guitars instead of drop d or drop c?

[blazfuturama]

@alivebyhim1 because if you play powerchords on acoustic they dont come out sounding the same as electric whereas playing full chords sound much clearer and better on acoustic

[alivebyhim1]

@blazfuturama I didnt say power chords I said tablatures in drop d or in drop c

[martian712]

Still better with the Moster growl...

[xDrikenx]

make it end

[EncVol]

1:48 Ben's Face... Epic

i'm sorry my english is very bad =)

[Angelstarwarrior777]

@ThePainOffice your english is normal

[ThePainOffice]

@Angelstarwarrior777 thank you :)

[wolf22497]

Is in the word a band which is better than Skillet??????

[Destu3]

Have to say, John Cooper is one of my main influences. Initially lead singer & bassist of skillet that'll occasionally pick up a guitar- my role in my band in a nutshell.

[Muse02100]

You see the of I dont like ?

[Philst07]

@jackthedudefu thats an Acoustic guitar

[jackthedudeful]

wat kind of guitar is that

[BrantWheeler95]

At 2:36 they mess up-_- nut they totally rocked the acoustic version of Monsterrrrr

[mach234455]

he sucks 

[amityandbrandon]

@darkgulav ikr!

[DeathEndingTruth]

John Cooper is so sexy.

[babydonaldson0123]

@DeathEndingTruth what the hell

[DeathEndingTruth]

@babydonaldson0123 Yeah (h)

[babydonaldson0123]

epic

[MusicForALifetime123]

they sound awesome in concert. (:

[nick10025]

Ya teddies09 he is awesome live I learns abut them on smackdown bs raw2011

[Ashleyartsy]

hes freakin awesome :D i was kinda scared to hear him live, cuz i thought he would suck. but he doesnt xD

[BatIStarocks555]

@teddies09 it doesnt sound bad at all

[Raimaru97]

I want hear Ben's voice lol

[teddies09]

his voice is horrible live.. O_o

[Dsmbr03]

@teddies09 Tis not, sounds awesome for live.

[henkdecitroen13]

@teddies09 are you deaf?

[TheDjMiley]

Love skillet for ever <3

[knightchick0883]

I like the other version better, but they kept up the energy here, so it makes it okay :)

[hollowgroundxX]

I FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!!! lol for a christian band these guys can Rock Out (= I generaly listen to bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, Metallica, Sevendust, etc

But sense coming onto these guys i'v grown to branch out a little.

[crossbowpanhead]

Ben doesn't seem to be enjoying this at all.

[MrFaulconbridge]

i love acoustic versions of rock songs. Bands should do more of them.

[zeldapudding]

not the same notes as studio version, but great anyway

[gbsons]

@zeldapudding Well no duh sherlock. It's acoustic. There not gonna put acoustic guitars in drop c.

[xWh1t3Dyn4m1t3x]

@gbsons why not its not like you cant change it back

[gbsons]

@xWh1t3Dyn4m1t3x Drop C just doesn't sound as full on an acoustic as the normal chords would in my opinion. Me personally I think anything below drop d on acoustic is overkill. But again that's just me.

[bloodvein3]

he's one of the few singers out there that sound the same in the studio and live. thats why Skillet is BEAST.

[exodiaxk90]

@bloodvein3 yep him and M.Shadows from A7X sound better live than in the studio

[guitarman8759]

i love skiilet but this version of this song is way harder to play on guitar cause when they do it live its based on like 3 or 4 stupid simple chords

[Terr0rT0t]

one of the FEW bands that are amazing live =]

[JulioMarston]

@Terr0rT0t you know if a band is good listening live no uin studio version so it means skillet is a good band

[jakebuw]

@Terr0rT0t Dire Straits

[StOliverP]

@Terr0rT0t That's a hilarious comment! To say there are "FEW" good live bands today is just stupid.

[LovelyTsubasaC97]

6 people don't feel like a monster :S

[hansvonde]

I love Skillet but i prefer the original version =3

But this is also great =3

[RIP2SNIPE]

Yea! Lazer99.3

[rzads0]

aaaay aaaaay

[meamzEpicPSN]

5 people apparently worship rebecca black

[TheMlados]

Please,can anybody send me chords to this song?

Masauki@mail.ru

[bangalikid]

5 People r Scared of Monsters

[TheDarkGoby]

A little dry for skillet, but that is just because they do such a great job when the power is on! :D

[VersusDec]

what chords do they use?

[thomz1515]

damn it dosnt sound nearly as good as the music video !!!

[PanheadRocker]

@lilmisscheesemonger dude, I so agree, and no they haven't altho there are like 6 acoustic songs on comatose comes alive, but it would be soooooooooo awesome if they did do a whole cd! :D

[SlipknotChris66688]

this awsome i never herd skillet acoustic before i love it

[lilmisscheesemonger]

this is so cool they should make a whole cd like this....wait let me guess....they already have and now i look like an idiot

[premiumprime1998]

skillet wont be the same without ben

[bubilicious909]

@premiumprime1998 I know eh ! :(

[arel3]

This song just doesn't sound right acoustic. lol!!

[Morgfarm1]

Hehehe. He missed the start of the 2nd verse.. It should be "The secret side i keep, hid under lock & key" instead of " The secret side of me"

[thatemohairedkid]

@Morgfarm1 I'm pretty sure the guy knows his own song...

[n8888s]

It's amazing these guys are famous from this.

[rushsubdivisions]

is ben wearing a wedding ring?

[Piconix]

drop c ? chord?

[Piconix]

drop c ?

[sum41mouviemakers]

would've been nice if he did that evil demon sream when saing Monster ^^

[thebailey29]

his voice is so cool!

[invinciblebluedragon]

How are they so awesome at the guitar? They make it look so easy.

[jbthewickedclown]

@invinciblebluedragon The guitar is not that bad to play if you look up the tabs and stuff.

[WhutThePhuq]

now thats how u play a fuckin guitar

[thuisman2]

Oohhh shet!!!

[LucianoHammond]

That picture in the background is AWESOME!!Can I find?

[orangesodarox]

A job well done by both John and Ben. :)

[deadcellable]

the only thing wrong is they dont use the monster voice

[girlylino997]

lolz guitar sounds LIKE COWBOY MOVIES.........but i rly cant say its bad...............um and btw

SKILLET ROX!!!!XD =D

[concertjunkieee1]

hmm.. Interesting.. But somehow I think it sounds great.

[smashbrother182]

this song was defintly made for heavyer instuments. its not the same acoustic.

[DexMichael]

@smashbrother182 Thats the point tho, gives a whole new vibe

[0himc00l]

i feel like a kitten throwing up rainbows........... in a good way

[ohnevergoingtoquit]

@0himc00l your comment just made my day

[deadlyponiezzzz]

@0himc00l That would be terrible for the poor little kitty! It will also be cute for me to see and then i would probably take it to a vet or somewhere then clean it up.

[theskilletkiller]

wow is all I have to say exept that it was awsome

[SoroHanosh]

The opening sounds like a mexican tap dance XD i like the acoustic better by far

[usplvk]

awesome voice °.° <3

[JuggaletteBlackRose]

Well..... it just isnt the same in acoustic :(

[guitarist4196]

no monster voice...

[runehq54]

holy shit only one dislike

[amongtheflames7]

It's not skillet anymore... no Lori. She could break the Brittish chippy in half with a look. I like the song, and the performance, but they used to do these acoustic sessions with the whole band, and this was just John and Ben. huge disappointment

[guitarplayingdork100]

john cooper is one of the best live singers out there he sounds the almost the same as on the record :)

[Aci3696]

Can someone give me a tab :)

[Panhead1993]

Seriously man, Skillet just rock, hands down! Love how John sings "it's just beneath the skin...I feel like a monster!" they always bring some twists in their live performance which makes them SO awesome!

[XxBlondeChicksxX]

Vote up for Bestband:)

[glmyers13]

I play it in drop D on acoustic..... :D

[japatten3]

Saw these guys live in concert last weekend :) BEAST of a concert :) Wish they'd have done this though!

[AnimeYoukai911]

this is good 

[BigHairySexyBeast]

whats the tuning

[1dieordie1]

@BigHairySexyBeast I think its Drop C or Drop B, I've heard both being used.

[OKSIRYDOC]

@BigHairySexyBeast Should be Drop C

[DamL29]

@BigHairySexyBeast its Drop C i think

[panhead2012]

@BigHairySexyBeast WATS UP BRYAN haha

[zackismez]

@BigHairySexyBeast pretty sure its drop C. thats what i play it in. i play everything in drop C though lol....i think the video lesson says drop C

[BigHairySexyBeast]

whats the tuning

[shojogirl93]

though its not the original its stilll a good no matter what!!!! lol, i do feel like a monster

[Bodil40]

The normal version is better but still thumbs UP :)

[joverby88]

@Spezialiser no distortion and no drums makes a big difference with this type of song

[nhlkidd1]

john u rock

[dropthebeat94]

He messed up the lyrics at 1:20 :P

[cuykai]

@dropthebeat94 how?



[dropthebeat94]

@cuykai He says "the secret side of me, kept under lock and key...." but it's supposed to be "my secret side I keep, hid under lock and key...." He started singing verse 1. haha

[cuykai]

@dropthebeat94 oohh okay

[alconblack12]

1:09 mucho gallo el q le sale

[ce3c]

skillet rules!

[tigerboy946]

you guys, jen isnt there because she was in my dreams <3jen<3

[violet0haley]

Troppo bella questa canzone !!

[SousukeSagara93]

@violet0haley Già.

[mshardcore100]

amazing but i preffer the real version, got soo much better vibe :] but his voice is aaaawesome!! so learning this on acoustic!

[xAuthorUnknownx]

Yeah so, I pretty much love his voice.

[Exxodus777]

@TheLegacyBand5in5 Unlike alot of Big stars out there, John has never had any Voice addons or Training like most people Have, So its more gruff in studio music and even More gruff Live. You make the decision if it better or worse. =]

I think it sounds just as cool.

[JesusMusicHead]

@Exxodus777 i luv john's voice no matter what shape it's in but i do like the differences from album 2 album.u can hear his heart

[skilletfreak1993]

what kinda guitars are those?

[Songwriter4God]

Lol. I tuned my acoustic to drop C and played along. Perfect, too! :P

[IAmAPeanut19]

Yeah! Awesome stuff. But Monster isn't really a song to sing with acoustic guitars. Sounds lighter than usual but still very very good.

[legendarydante3]

@IAmAPeanut19 depends on the song...listen to tears dont fall - bullet for my valentine reg then listen to the acoustic...i like the acoustic way better lol

[LivingthroughGod]

He played guitar before he played bass

[MichaelFindlater]

this is awsome :D but i thought the lead singer played bass?? o well still amazing cover

[andrewcoxtheartist]

he does. but apparently he plays acoustic guitar too. ;)

[MichaelFindlater]

oh right :L :P

[Songwriter4God]

@MichaelFindlater It's not a cover dude, it's only a cover if it's not your song. And his name is John. John plays bass and guitar, he writes the music. In one of the pod casts he was showing Ben the strumming in Sometimes... With Ben's guitar.

[Bert8151993]

What brand of acoustic is that fender or what ? lol no clue.

[SoupyGeorge]

Oh dear, this is awful! This song really doesn't suit acoustic guitar at all!

[jellicommafighter]

John Cooper is the man

[Prolesha]

the best but i made a mistake and rate for 4 :(

[Roygoos]

@Prolesha Good thing there are Thumbs now huh?

[DragonDeathBlood]

COOL.

[legendarydante3]

i think that this song is almost better acousticly its such a great song and really fun to play to boot

[marsz17]

do u know the chords 4 this?

[eagles20mitch]

only one problem with this performance, No jen. :(

[sinnoh2014]

@eagles20mitch did you know acoustic means NO DRUMS so what is the point of jen being there?!?!?

[Jordanrox12341]

@eagles20mitch AMEN!!!!!! lol jen and john are my fav

[tomb995]

@eagles20mitch  Very True My Friend xD lool

Ohh Well This Is Awsomee!!!!!

[jigsawisthebest]
