  • Thumbs up if skillet rocks?:)

  • Never knew this song, arguably the best from their first album, had a video. It's like having a seizure.

  • they look like zombies in the begining lol but awsom song :D

  • Are you ready?

    Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart?

    If God judges u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Does this concern you? The Bible says despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your soul. would u sell your eye for a million dollars? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. needgod.com

  • Never hurts to go back and listen to the classics. I never bought this album, but that's only because I like only two songs. I own all the albums after this one. Not impressed with Alive. Lack of passion in some songs and some of the lyrics feel forced.I miss Skillet from around the time of Collide and Comatose.

  • BP said they can make money off of the song.

    Moslty the title ^_^

  • i wasnt aliive when this came out

  • Check out my video of Skillet including Skillet - "Alien Youth" of Alien Youth Tour 2001 at The Door in Dallas Texas & video footage "Awake & Alive" from Avalanche Tour and 98 other videos of various artists. Thanks!!

  • Are they a religious band or are they alternative im confused lol. I just discovered this band by my gf

  • @mgcpies they are alternative christian

  • @mgcpies Christian rock 

  • Skillet will not give up Ben left but still Skillet will live on just like Newsboys.. Newsboys came out in 1985 and they are still going on lol

  • @J4sh3r yah cause its not like skillet has ever replaced a member, Jen was a replacement in 2008 remember? Korey was a replacement back in 99 (i think, maybe) and even Ben was a replacement in 2001

  • They were so different but amazing <3 My fave band ever

  • Old Skl Skillet - love it!! hehe

  • I listen to their albums i still dont take in the christian part the rock is just it

  • music styles change and die in age but God and Skillet are eternal

  • i heart them first time and they're fucking amazing!!

  • Old School Skillet Is The Best!!

  • 1996 i didnt even know that thats crazy that long ago didnt even know them

  • What happened to the lovely woman who used to play the drums, she was hot!

  • @cauffey Jen Ledger? She's still in the band, this song is before she became a member of the band

  • @kabluwi This song was recorded when Jen was 7 years old.

  • @cauffey This was from back in 1996! Jen didn't join Skillet until '07.

  • @cauffey Jen Ledger was 7 when this video came out :)

  • I enjoyed them most during their "Invincible" phase....

  • @CHESSOforCHRIST Yeah I agree I was born in 95 and when I first heard this song I was thinking what kind of genre/music is this? But I like all of Skillets stuff old and new. I actually do like some 70's and 80's but you're right my main musical taste is around the 90's-200's but yes that's the real thing that matters :)

  • I find it so sad that as each day passes we're leaving this time beyond more and more

    Skillet forever!

  • I enjoyed watching them in the early days :) they played at the church I went to just in the outskirts of memphis. I liked the old days wasn't to fond of the changes

  • wow!!!! he had hair!

  • SKILLET---"GASOLINE"

  • wow, doesnt even sound like modern skillet! is anybody from this video still in the band besides john cooper?

    ps- their new stuff is way more awesome, stuff from the comatose era and after 2005+)

  • @unitard08 Nope John is the only officially remaining member of Skillet

  • @jdogdisturbed1996 Korey was there from the beginning, she just didn't play live. She was on their albums

  • @Groovemaster2k oh i thought John was the only official member whoops

  • @unitard08

    Dude!

  • wow this is so different...but i liked invicible more better but this is still good.

  • they remined me of dctalk in this video

  • this screams RHCP's :P how old is this?

  • @stelamo 1996, it was their first single

  • 33 people need to soak there hearts in gasoline and light a match.

  • I'm sitting here with my heart out on the table

    Next to a bloody mess that was once a man's heart

    I looked at God and said, "What do You want me to do with this?"

    He said, "Already done, already done, that heart was Jesus"

    John 3:16. Thank you Lord Jesus.

  • @Brenda101ish you have a fucked up imagination

  • alright.. im an atheist. but i love skillet. especialy the older stuff

  • Its so funny that when this song was first recorded Ben was 12 and Jen was 7

  • This is great, but my favorites are from Collide and Invincible

  • I just got their first album and absolutely love it! Different sound, same message of our Glorious God :D

  • reminds me of nirvana + pearl jam:)

  • screw the mainstream crap. what's important is that skillet has taken the idea and have turned it into something of their own. No surprise, they've been doing it for years, guys.

  • john has improved so much vocally!! i've been a big fan of skillet for a long time--but not from the beginning--i hadn't heard of them back then.

  • Their grunge sound was awesome before they got really mainstream hard rock.

  • They use to be very....... Interesting , but the newer stuff is the best music you can listen to. Along with sick puppies.

  • i prefer this so much more than there newer stuff.. it actually has character and is interesting to listen to.

    now they have sold out to mainstream -.-

  • duuuuuuuuude this music video is even more fucked up than muse stockholm syndrome xD

  • wonder whatever happened to the 2 other guy's? Have this album, got it b4 they were even big.

  • I liked Skillet before they went mainstream, and I like them now. They've had their up and downs. (:

  • @MeshlaRuni They arn't mainstream..they are still Christian. Just have mainstream fans, but will always keep their Christian Based songs.

  • @SkilletMonsterFan What I meant by "mainstream" was that some of their songs now either have very little Christian meanings or none at all. Compare that to say, their first few albums, where almost every song was obviously Christian.

  • @MeshlaRuni I don't think that way, while yes, their songs back then were more obvious, I can still see the Christianity in their music. Hero=Jesus, Monster=sin, Awake and Alive=faith, Never Surrender=wanting God to have you and not let go, Forgiven=wanting God to forgive you, etc. And John still preaches at concerts. I think that we should be happy that non Christians are interested in a Christian band. But I do understand what your saying. (cont)

  • @MeshlaRuni But you need to remember that Christians have the same experiences non Christians. I mean, "Open Wounds", "Those Nights", "Older I Get" arn't off their Awake Album...yet they arn't about Christianity. John was just telling what he felt and his life story. But in a way that makes me love Skillet all the more, anyone who only speaks about how he loves God and acts like there is nothing wrong in his life is wack. God gives us trials for a reason.

  • @SkilletMonsterFan lol okay man, chill. I didn't mean to make you go off on a tangent or anything. All I was trying to say is that their songs are less obvious now than before. More subtle. :P

  • @MeshlaRuni xD I wasn't mad or anything...I always seem to ramble when it comes to youtube comments, idk why :P

  • @SkilletMonsterFan Haha, k. Peace!

  • That's awesome, I'm a huge skillet fan, but i've never heard this song before!!

    Yes, of course it's John Cooper, his voice is younger but definitely him..

  • lol @ the people whining about his hair or the music or that this isn't John Cooper. You can clearly hear it that it is him. Their first albums are underrated, it's a shame. I'm probably one of the few who thinks their older albums are the best. Comatose and Awake have some great tracks but after a while they are starting to get a bit boring in my opinion.

  • I like their first album better than their most recent two.

  • This kinda creeped me out a little.This was just.....I'm sorry but this was just awful.

  • They sound WAY better now!

  • in my opinion they sound SO MUCH BETTER now.

  • Only John Cooper stayed on his position as Vocalist/Bassist.

    All other members were always replaced .

  • @lightcasters31 It was only because that one of the people want to stay with their family and the other one join another band. anyway this was a project for John not the real Idea for the band

  • @lightcasters31 except his wife. the keyboard/ rythm guitarist.

  • @llawliet246 yeah right, this is when they kicked ass

    They are too poppy now. This was good old fashioned kick ass rock.

    Don't get me wrong, I like their sound now but I prefer this much better. Perhaps its because I grew up on the Seattle sound.

  • they came sooo far. This is more 90's but they really grew into something way better.

  • wow i dint know skillet started out as an all men band lolz dont know much about them today but i do know that most of their songs are freaking amazing :D all the awake songs plus the two bonus ones are awesome. dont know why some ppl seem disappointed in it but thats just them i guess lolz havent listened to every single song theyv made but soon i will and im just keeping the ones i like, mainly mostly all of them lolz just need to hear from skillet and hey you i love your soul. only hav a few.

  • I frickin' love Skillet! But I don't really care for this song. They sound way better now.

  • ew he has long hair yuck

  • @sexishgirl What's wrong with long hair?

  • 90s much LOL

  • lol, John looks soooo weird with facial hair and long hair :D

  • i don't see why you guys are complaining i like it it reminds me of nirvana in a way and they weren't as good as they are now but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate the music it was the same with atreyu and the used and many other bands.

  • @Kari22292 i see wat ur sayn they do remind me of nirvana

  • @Kari22292 nirvana and atreyu are a amzing lol

  • they have to start somewhere and hey if ur a true fan u would apriceiate it this was them back then and if they like it we should 2

  • OH MY GOSH!!! this is wicked old school. john looks so different. I saw him in person and he looked so much different

  • my 1st love skillet song fron'96.the lyrical content is blatantly christian u may choose 2 ignore it

  • not so good like um now there much better xD good lyrics though XD

  • Hey don't knock the beginnings, without them, we wouldn't have skillet today :) Go read the lyrics, they are great!

  • horrible compared to there new ones

  • this is still my favourite skillet album :D

  • skillet got alot better and when i say alot i mean alot

  • OMG is...is that John?! WHOAHHHHHH....scary dude. XD

  • the new youtube is so wierd!!! well at least i have 500 characters to talk with (: skillet rocks but they got better

  • @huntingboy10 oh ya i like the old one better too

  • hey does anyone know where the url is on the new youtube?

  • wow this is so kool there first album all though i dont hav it yet looks pretty good just by hearing this song i have all skillet albums except their first one and invincible

  • wow how old school. i havent heard this song in like years

  • They need to redo this song!!!!! It awesome!!!!! I Love Skillet

  • if its awesome then no redo dumb ass

  • I like how the theme of this song is similar to "Take" from their next album

  • @ryangranucci  yah it kinda does i can see the simularity :)

  • Love the song!! I've loved Johns hair over all the years including this vid, the only thing that doesn't suit him is the beard :)

  • yeah!:Dyes, the beard doesn't fit:( but I think he wanted to look like a bit like Jesus! don't know really tho! but it could be, 'couse he's a huge Jesus fan/freak!

  • so weird seein John with long hair lol

  • wow, different to their newer stuff

  • How about, if you don't like religious stuff, don't listen to religious music? How about that idea, eh?

    As opposed to saying things like 'God is dead'. I won't shove any religious talk down your throat, but I'm not sure ANY Christian would appreciate that.

  • ^_^ but i liek skillet

  • im not religous but i liek skillet?

  • @TBJvideos09 DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT. Is that supposed to be a problem?

  • @cloudedsight Does it need to be appreciated? Is that what I'm out to get? You must know me so much better than I do myself, because I was under the impression that I don't need the appreciation of psychotic cultists who believe the world just popped into existence because some ominiscent being said so... And i was merely trying to make a statement... It's people like you who are the reason people can't speak out and be heard.

  • @TheSeizingCat ok dude we can all derive a meaning from skillets songs ok but in my mind they are a christian band and they say that at almost every concert and i dont know if u've noticed but lots of people tend to speak out and be heard and then if those people are scared then there cowards so just please try to relax

  • How much of a Prick can u b?

  • @mattrex94 Enough of a prick to let you know that you're a bible-thumping, narrow minded psycho who needs to wake up and smell the beautiful roses of REALITY. That a good enough answer?

  • They had changed A LOT!!! But both, old and new stuff ROCK!!! (love this band!)

  • Just watched it... I have to say, you are right lol

  • haha this is the weirdest video youve ever seen?

    check out fmaily force 5 never let me go lol

  • Ok I love skillet they are my favorite band, but this is the weirdest music video I've ever seen lol

  • haha this is awesome. panhead :)

  • I'm not a big Skillet fan nor do I listen to them or have any of their CDs, but I think we can agree they've always been good.

    The difference I'd say is they've improved over the years.

    Anyway, enjoy some nostalgia!

  • I'm a HUGE fan of Skillet's stuff from Collide, Comatose, and Awake. I have tried a lot of their older songs...but I simply don't like them,.. :/

  • hes not singing as loudly as he does in newer stuff...

  • totally, he doesnt look good as a blond, in my opinion...

  • I agree with all of you. The new one is definately better.

  • yeah the new one is a whole lot better

  • i like the new skillet...

  • ive always been a skillet fan always will be but i do agree with some of yall their newer stuff is a little bit better

  • this sound's like early red hot chilli's

    funky lol .....

  • wth is this shit? >.>

    if i hadnt heard "whispers in the dark" or "monster" before this i would never listen to this band again

  • <_< Then your not a true Panhead. All their music rocks. Differant, but all awesome.

  • I met skillet!

  • i like skillet..but this is pretty shit..just my opinion. dont bash me please. i love all their othe music (well wat i have heard) just saying once agian thank you

  • omg johns voice was so small. Now he got an awesome much powerful voice

  • @TheRustedBass idiot this isnt john cooper

  • @bbyy100 yeah it is, he never left the band, and his are the only male vocals in the band.

  • @relientk4Jesus kid if u knew wut john cooper looks like then u would no its not him go read a bible idiot

  • @bbyy100 ok first of all, don't diss on the Bible. as He says, God will not be mocked. second, people can change their hair. if you think im talking about the guy playing guitar im not thats what they call a lead guitarist. hes at the mic playing bass. check my page. i have the whole freakin band all over it. i know what he looks like. son im a freakin panhead. the guy at 1:43 is john cooper. with long hair and facial hair.

  • @relientk4Jesus PANHEADS RULE!!! :D

  • @bbyy100 with the blue bass guitar at 3:19. that my dear friend is john L. cooper. lead singer and bassist for skillet. always has been, always will be. :)

  • @bbyy100 this IS john cooper. i've been a skillet fan since they started..went to a few shows and met them back in the day as well:)

  • @bbyy100 Dude this is John Cooper, people change man.

  • @TheRustedBass i guess justin beiber does make more men with the fear of being a girl like him.

  • Wow, first album eh? Yuck... haha. They got SO much better...

  • That's what i meant to say, hehe

  • hm?

    yeah i agree there newer music is ALOOT better but this isnt half bad

  • *shrugs* I don't like the vocals at all. I really don't like it when they do that squeaky thing that makes them sound like they're choking. I mean it's OK I guess but..... in my opinion it fails =)

  • @Llawliet246 they did get better but this song is amazing how cud u say yuck?

  • @NoJo1917 *shrugs* We all have different tastes. I really do *not* like this song at all... ^.^

  • @Llawliet246 they got way better, but they never sucked. just saying.

  • I disagree, this is probably the best Skillet song I've ever heard. There's not a trace of pop on this song and that's why I like it

  • There's not a trace of pop in a lot of their songs on 'Awake' and 'Comatose' too....

  • these were the good 'ol days

  • and don't get me wrong, i LOVE skillet's music among some other christian rock bands i'm aware of like PILLAR. and i'm not hatin' just asking a question. And of course as a goth i do occasionally wear face paint and black nail polish(but there is a way to go about it w/out looking gay) A good example to prove that point would be Seether. Now, Marilyn Manson, that is the only rocker i know who can cross dress and wear red lipstick and still somehow make it look cool, ROFL

  • actually, no. I got a buzz cut with a full beard. What you just described would not be a true goth, unless the goth guy with that hair cut is from cali, is an emo, a poser, or is a gay goth(yes there are such things).

    I do agree with you on the fact that most rock bands look gay, well maby what most people define as rock bands. When i say true rock bands, i think Godsmack, Metallica, zz-top, Stand, etc...all look like they actually kissed a girl.

  • Cool,although I didn't really read what u wrote!LOL!

  • Correction: ok, not ALL the guys in these bands look gay, just most of them.

  • look i ain't hatin' on Skillet or any other Christian rock band for sayin' this, but i have to ask: Why is it that the majority of the guys in the Christian bands i c all look gay as fuck? I'm only asking cuz then i look at a Christian with the kind of hair styles i see on these groups only two things come to mind: a Gay guy, or an Emo...and usually there's a thin line between the two. Any input from ya'all Christians that listen? I like the music but i'm just curios about why they look so gay.

  • GoThiCJuggaL0.... 95% of all band members of ANY kind look gay. Lets be realistic here. With Gothic in your name i'm assuming you have the gay skater boy hair cut to right? In turn, would look gay. This band actually looks less gay than most rock bands nowadays.

  • Dang, not saying this is bad, but thank goodness they released Collide and Comatose

  • You had to be into grunge bands like Bush and whatnot to like this album.

  • this was made in 1997 or 1998

  • The video came out early '97. It's the only song on the album that I didn't like. lol

  • he sounds like he has a sore throat in this video...

  • im just telling u what i have heard from over 20 diffrent fan sites and ppl that ik closely
