You could say I cherish their "entire catalogue." Sure, there were some bumps in the road. But they've churned out a lot of good music over the years. "My Beautiful Robe," "More Faithful," "You Take My Rights Away," "Savior," and "Awake And Alive" are my favs...if I had to narrow it down.
Why does everyone think Awake was so bad?? I LOVED it. It's my favorite. I mean, with Awake and Alive, Forgiven, Believe, Would it Matter, It's not me its you...It's insane. I love it.
Who thinks Skillet should do a double live set for their 20th anniversary in 2016? First set be of the current lineup, second be just the original 3 as shown here in this video.
wow....they kinda looked pathetic.even john.but thank god they did'nt give up because if they had gave up we woudnt be able to hear great songs such as rebirthing,monster,awake and alive, or forsaken.
Way to downgrade Skillet just because you hadn't heard of them until 2003's "Collide." I guarantee you none of the original 3 guys felt the band was pathetic at anytime in their career. By the way, their latest album "Awake" has been hailed by critics as one of their worst albums. It's not their worst, but with Ben no longer in the band and John and Korey's kids about to enter grade school, I don't think Skillet will be around in the next 10 years.
@Rawk4Life I have been listening to skillet since 99 or 00. I was really not impressed with Awake. That was mostly a depressing/ballad album imo. Alien Youth is my favorite album by them.
@BAMFBabyBlender Ken quit for the same reason Lori quit. He just felt he had done the band thing, and that it was time to move on, while Lori is working in a small Christian book store and giving drum lessons, Ken decided to find a Career in buisness.
Didn't Ken become a full time music teacher after leaving Skillet? And this is probably a rumor, but a guy at the Skillet show I saw last November said he heard that Lori came to the band and said she was tired of keeping her sexuality a secret.
I heard the Lori thing in an interview with John and Korey, And the thing about Ken, well I kind of forgot the whole story, so I tried to keep it vague. But dude, if your pretty sure somethings a rumor, you really shouldn't go around spreading it on the internet. And even if that is true (Which I hope not) I'm sure Lorri wouldn't want that parading around online. She's done a lot of great of stuff for God, and her sexuality is none of our business.
@Rawk4Life The rumor about Lori came from a FAKE myspace made by someone about her, just after she left. It is just that, a rumor, and it is absolutely not true.
Not really. I was just misinformed by a guy at the Skillet concert I went to last November. Jennifer Knapp didn't come out of the closet until April of this year.
I cannot believe you have this. That band has really stood the test of time. I was glad I got to play a very, very small part during the early years. I could do without the bad hawaiian shirt and the chicken clucking at the end. I am a dork.
brings back the memories, that's christine mundie from ardent on camera. nice shots of early korey and baby freedman on road...and broncoboy from peoria!
