Skillet "Rebirthing" (Extra-loud guitar!) live@SouthBend IN

[alexbuiel]

DROP D?!?! COME ON MAN!! get your shit together.

[Linkavitch93]

You know, with the guitar really loud, I noticed two tiny mistakes he made. I'm not bashing Ben at all, he's like my favorite guitarist ever, but it's nice to know he's human too. =)

[elingard3]

Who cares if they sing song that are christian, it sounds good and it does't sound like the crap that the churches sing etc..

no offense for people who like Christian songs =P just saying my meanings =)

[Songwriter4God]

@elingard3 ...Crap? Lets fix this, the OLD SCHOOL HYMNS that the old traditional churches sing. Most protestant churches have contemporary worship bands now, every church I've been to but my own has a bassist and drummer even, we just have three guitars a pianist/vocalist and a tambourine/vocalist. Definitely not crap.

[elingard3]

@Songwriter4God Well, were i live there's just this boring Christian music with orgel or something like that... if you like it good for u dude :D

As long as you like it's fine for me, i don't like it so good for me

We all have our own meaning in music, rigth? :)

[Songwriter4God]

@elingard3 :p Yep. What's orgel though? do you mean organ, or what?

[elingard3]

@Songwriter4God yeah, probably :P

Srry for saying it wrong ^^'

[Songwriter4God]

Come on, you advertise loud guitar but you don't show him playing it? You had an AMAZING angle and you didn't show it! YOu got all the shinyness! :(

[carfreakf430]

@Songwriter4God But you can still hear the guitar really good!!!!

[Songwriter4God]

@carfreakf430 Yeah, but still.

[AddemRector]

Great Band, Great Song, Even if the quality isnt that good, still awesome to hear that bad ass guitar.

[jeffandscottvideos1]

three people are gonna get wacked with a skillet

[Followerofchirst1337]

@IshtarDK What are you talking about?

One amp is not enough to play venues this size no matter how big the amp is. You have no idea what you're talking about. you should learn to not speak about something unless you know about what you speak.

[tbonewms]

Man, when i went to one of their concerts Ben played the whispers in the dark solo right in front of me it was FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[fr0zensn0w]

3 people missed the like button :)

[jriswise]

IshtarDK is right. Most likely they are not using any of those cabs in front. Our sound engineer for the band I play with ran front of house for Motley Crue for a few tours and they had a whole wall of unused cabs. He said they ran a small pignose behind all the cabs mic'd with two mics

[Munis2000]

Guitarist is awesum

[KhMaxi]

Oh wow man ! You were just beside Ben ! That's awesome ;)

[MrMusiclover74]

they are going to be in Wichita Kansas on May 6th....trying to get tickets for me 15 year old who loves them. :)

[TheSkilletfan95]

going to see them tomorrow in jonstown with tobymac

[hotzone84]

ben is tearing that thing up :)

[jmaslan1308]

these videos r great for guitars learning skillet parts =) thx u

[Apprentice12233445]

wow, ben's a beast at the guitar, john just sings, hes ok at guitar but bens better

[Oraokardia]

John plays bass. He admit that he can't play guitar. And I agree. Ben's skill is siick ^_^

[TheNeomicShow]

I hope they come back to South Bend soon!

[jmaslan1308]

there touring with tobymac in 2010, so i think they would make a stop around there....

[undergroundcafesb]

[ssayles4]

[spanner360]

[rockgibson14]

[c3h4ohcooh3]

Wow! This is just what I needed to help me with my custom Guitar Hero chart for this song! Now I just need a video with someone close to the bassist.

[DeliaRich1]

[dmime8]

[ThomasnBear1D3]

Man, this was sweet!

[acousticsummers]

Wow Ben is freakin crazy on that guitar!!! This video was awesome, it was fun just to listen to the guitar!!

[FriendlyWords]

Do I hear wrong, or is the guitar louder than the vocals? Maybe thats the point, idk.

[ryebread29993]

it was because the camera was in front of the guitar and the amps. you can always hear them normally.

[Linkin7Productions]

no he was just filming really close to the guitar.. and john didnt song as loud as he can. that fans did it for him xD

[josephvillegas123]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh panhead 4 life

[MattMadoniMusic]

Was this Lori's last concert?

[tsartin]

its actualy3:19,but whose timing

[darkmist255]

Haha

at 3:18 there's a guy headbanging in the left corner =D

[kacieglamourrr]

fersure.. lol they are so amazing live their fun too.

[RockYoWorld]

it's loud cuz the camera is right in front of the amp lol...

[ratm0wnz]

guitarist made like 3 mistakes in the bar chords

[gbsons]

thats how you know its live.

[apiff909]

who cares... its skillet :D

[gbsons]

definetly. hehe on some of my covers i put on here the guitar drowns out the song lol. oh well.

[thenewchance]

awesome seat lol. well not really sitting down but you get what i mean.

[thedavidbentley]

wish this song was on rock band. :(

[solidsnakec11]

dude i say that phrase constantly...

[Hydrophish]

This is cool cuz it's kinda like hearing the guitar track isolated. BTW, notice the bum note at 1:24-1:25.

[ollinayato]

Totally awesome.

[samfirescuvlad]

i wish to see them too.... but i dont think they'l ever come in romania:D or mabye? dunno...

[MRSEDWARDCULLEN513]

im goin to see them this summerrr :))))

[gbsons]

i get to see there comatose tour next saturday in nashville. itll be my third time and im pumped.

[samohut]

i get to see them tomorrow! im pumped

[gbsons]

i get to see them in two days for atlanta fest again.this will be number four!!woot. im gonna film comatose this time lol.

[episgscustom]

he screwed up at 1:25-28

[Wertifino]

ye lol

[wolf1010]

It's extra loud because your getting the left pan guitar.

[rap2383]

this is a cool vid... i can finally learn rebirth lol. and hear how it really sound... it sounds clean (well the guitar) and i like the rawness of it. Cool

[healthylife3456]

isnt this at the wow all????? if so i saw them kinda looks like it

[westboominman]

Ya me to i saw them at WinterJam in Fayettville NC December 2008, and I can't wait to see them again.

[westboominman]

Ben is just sick nasty on the guitar

[gbsons]

I will agree with that. Saw him in concert twice. Hoping to get see them to more times.

[bellaswan53]

that is so awesome!

[thenewchance]

I... Want... That... Guitar...

Lol sorry I need to say that.

Can't wait for their 2009 album.

[thenewchance]

Well if Ben's playing, he makes 1 amp seem like 1000 amps.

[seattle582]

actually, most groups don't use any of those amps... there is usually an amp off to the side that you don't see that is mic'd and is set at about half volume... If you've ever seen Rush live, Geddy Lee has washing machines and Chicken Rotisseries instead of amps, cause no one uses the stage ones...

[GuitarInChrist04]

Ben is amazing

[xz22x]

good camera position, lol. right on top of the guitarists monitor. sounds good though.

[timberRuck]

wow, kastilass is a wicked guitar player... thanks for the awesome vid!

[DemonXxXHunter]

ive seen them in concert, amazing they are...may be with them is the force.

[MilanKorr91]

This is EXACTLY why you don't talk about religion on the internet. People get pissed. Enjoy the music.

[Xxpaint5ball16xX]

BEST BAND EVAR!!!

[tsamneb]

i was at this show. at one point, a couple of the speakers went out and john goes, "oh, dang. well, I guess Ben's just gonna have to play a solo while it gets fixed."

and he did.

Ben Kasica is pretty much god.

[snfsu2005]

yea he is

[somethinginbetween8]

Dude I was at that same show!!! Ben is so awesome at his solos. He makes it look so easy...

[SoCSniper]

There's only one God, and He's called Jesus Christ.

[tsamneb]

you're right.....Ben's maybe about two points below actually being god. good catch. glad you took me so literally and got offended by something completely harmless.

[SoCSniper]

tsamneb, it's NOT harmless if you're saying someone else is God, when in fact, they're not.

[biggestboyondablock]

No, Jesus is the son of god. You're wrong.

[SoCSniper]

biggestboyondablock, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are 3 in 1, hence the name 'Holy Trinity'. You're wrong.

[tsamneb]

wow. okay. ridiculous religious pandering aside, skillet is really good and their guitarist is especially skilled. that's all i ever had to say.

[SoCSniper]

Then you should've just said that in the first place.

[tsamneb]

yes, my insincerest apologies.

[allthat11389]

If people would listen to Skillet and listen to the words of their songs, it dont take an Einstein to come to the conclusion that theyre Christian.

[somethinginbetween8]

for anyonw who is wondering, ben uses Mesa/Boogie triple rectifiers, and he plays PRS guitars. Sometimes he uses the Mira, but in this video he's using a PRS singlecut. great show guys!!!

[Xxpaint5ball16xX]

do u mean a PRS SE Singlecut or A PRS SE Single Cut Term

[somethinginbetween8]

I dont even think he uses SE's.  Maybe its a Prs SC245, or a 250... I cannot tell the difference between those two. Its definitely not a trem... it has that stop-tail if you look closely He can also be seen Using GMP Guitars, an American company that went under a few years ago. Since then he's been seen with Paul Reed Smith guitars

[gbsons]

yeah gmp wen tunder but i heard somewhere they got a new manager and going to open again. Thats just what i heard though.

[somethinginbetween8]

That would be awesome.  If anyone has gotten a chance to play a GMP, you are very lucky. Those guitars are very comfortable, not to mention the awesome sound!!!

[admiralsfrk20]

oooo man i cant wait until they come back to wisconsin...THEY ROCKED!

[thenewchance]

They need to make a Skillet guitar hero. Btw for other real guitarists who watch this, this is in Drop C#

[gbsons]

Does anyone know what kind of amp ben uses?

[dioreselah]

its a messaboogie amp maybe the triple rectifier.....a monster amp

[thenewchance]

A very loud one :) Anybody know what guitar he's using? I wanna say Mira, but it's hard to tell. I would've died to get a spot in front of those amps at a concert of theirs...

[rckr993]

how do they cut out everything but the guitar and drums?

[ShadoClone]

They didn't cut them out, it's just that the person taking the video is right in front of Ben and his amp. He's gonna hear the guitar a lot louder because it's closer to the camera.

[rckr993]

oh ok.

[atyabtaboule]

I can hear nothing but the guitar & the drums that's really cool but I can't hear that guy & that girl who sing !!!

[rckr993]

you mean John and Korey

[DemonXxXHunter]

amazing, i saw then in Evansville I.N. at winterjam this year, and i was by far the best song ( and concert) i have ever been to

great vid!

[skilletluva]

Absolutely amazing!!! I hope to be able to see them at Rock the Universe...

[haleyandamylee4ever]

if he messed up the guitar im sure you could hear it lol lol they are awesome!! i get to see them this saturday at ALIVE O8!!!

[samohut]

dude you had awesome seats!

[cg993]

Skillet is my favorite band..they are better live

[mandyandkatiaarehawt]

This song is so amazing!! And so is skillet! they are astonishing!!!

[cg993]

Dude! Thanks for puttin' this on here. On the record you can't hear as loud as you can here. Anyway, thanks!

[surfahgirl]

sweet!!!!! thanks so much for putting this up, i love the loud guitar, it's so cool to hear it like that because on the cd it's not that loud so this will help me learn it. thanks.

[gumgumchidori]

SKILLET IS ABSOLUTALY AMAZING!!!! Thier music has changed my life...

[cg993]

Ben is one of the best guitarists in the industry! He started with Skillet when he was 16! That's pretty amazing

[tylerammon]

nice... ben is a great guitar player

[Kchamp22]

awesome gutiar

[drumcrazy21]

you know what really ticks me off!

Is when people say :

"I like all the musicicans and the songs but I hate the band because theyre Christian..."

I have heard that so many times from people and I think its stupid. If you like the musicians and the songs then you like the band. Face it thats the truth.

Haha anyways just had to get that out.

Anyways I love you Skillet.

woot woot

=DD

[drumcrazy21]

haha this is with lori!!!

thats awesome.

its kind of a bummer not hearing john though

but its cuz ur right by the speekers sooo...

I LOVE SKILLET!!!!

[showdownrocks]

[showdownrocks]

its not the sound setup the dude who took this vid was RIGHT in front of ben so thats why the guitar is so loud.

[guitarded222]

verycool to hear the guitar over the other guys, since bens a crazy guitarist :) 5 star fav

[gingle87]

hey thanks

[Sharkblade5]

Love Ben's guitar in this.

[MileyCyrusIzMyIdol]

yeah, ben's awesome!

lol i couldn't remember his name, and I knew it started with a b. my friend abby's like, "Is it Ben?" after repeating a ton of B names. I said no to ben, and I couldn't remember the name! So I decided his name was "Bloated Puffer Fish." After I found out the name, Bloated Puffer Fish stuck. lol!

[LSKOCH5]

so awesome to see Ben up close for once and hear mostly him!

[skilletobsessed]

awesome

[forrestunifreak]

Cool perspective of Ben playing guitar.... Haha that's all you can hear.

[Sharkblade5]

Guitar tuning is C# G# C# F# A# D# on this hehe I can play some of it just not the solo very well.

[showdownrocks]

i thought it was drop B not drop C

[tbsguitardude13]

drop C#

[brittanymeaghan3]

OMG i was here lol and guess where.. RIGHT IN FRONT OF JOHN COOPER! AHH lol against the stage.. it was amazing.. lol you can see part of the people i was with in this too!

[Sharkblade5]

My Favorite Band =p 5 star.

[kasicarocks]
