[smarchese137]

@ImJoeCool99 You poor pathetic misguided lamb.

[johnnacaroljohnson]

@ImJoeCool99 It's talking about him feeling like a monster for the bad things he's done in his life.

[BurningDesertSpirit]

WHAAAAAT!? They're Christian!?

[littledrummerdude27]

@BurningDesertSpirit Yes they are! Have been from the start

[xXshad0wstepXx]

@BurningDesertSpirit So what if there christian? be whatever the fuck religion you want no one cares

[Izikid]

cool techno remix. Everybody who likes techno music and this awesome band must hear it.

[cjar344]

I love this version better then the original, I have to admit. Then again after hearing the original so many times and learning it on guitar, you kinda get tired of it...I digress. Need to find this EP, must have for any techno/Skillet fan.

[AZproductions117]

@jayjay0529 Or, how about you don't read the comments...

[AZproductions117]

Stop fighting? Fuck that.

BOO RELIGION YAY ABORTION PRAISE ALLAH WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS ON POLITICS?

This should instigate world war 3 quite nicely >:)

[musicgirl12357]

@AZproductions117 jerk

[AZproductions117]

@musicgirl12357 Bitch

[StevenRodriguez92]

Man this music makes me feel in a different mood every time i listen to it!

[jdrumm1313]

You guys keep saying music has nothing to do with religion, then why do they headline the biggest christian music fest off all time. They proclaim Jesus but have a messed up point of view of who jesus is.

[jdrumm1313]

do u people even understand what "unleash the beast" means. read the word of God. If they claim to be christians and love jesus so much......

[Beatcats1]

deadhand2790 you are very right she does say those lyrics.



[TheCuddlyHoBo]

Does anyone else feel super awk when all they see is these comments telling people to stop fighting?... o.o

[deadhand2790]

Did anyone notice lyrics from "Hero" in this song? If you listen, she says "save me now" every now and again. Totally awesome!

[musicgirl12357]

@deadhand2790 i know 1 of my fave parts of the song.

[HappyNightmare95]

I think I like every remix song on the EP. :)

[bornagain2day]

This is cool.

[bubbles1x]

Goodness. Skillet just isn't the same without Ben. I thought that this song would be much more epic with Unleash the Beast on the end. Except...it feels like a lullaby. I know some people love this song, but personally, they could have done a lot better with their new EP. *shakes head*

[FWGE37]

Ive Noticed That Half Of The Comments Of Practiclly Any Music Video I Find Talk About Religons,What Religon Does Have To Do With Music? I Mean,Saying"Only Christians Can..."Or Some Sh*t Is Like Saying Only Germans Can Eat Bratworst Sausage,Maybe Their Jealous Of How EPIC The Remixes Are,Maybe Its For Attention,Or To Spam The Comments With Junk,But All I Can Say To Them Is:

Shut Up,Grow Some Balls And Listen To This Amazing Remix

[AZproductions117]

@FWGE37 Hey Man Why Do You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter?

[FWGE37]

@AZproductions117 I Am Not A Boy,I Am A Girl.

I Write With A Capital Letters And The Beginging Of A Word Because I Was Typing Like This A Few Months Ago(Not Sure Why)And Well, Its A Habit.

[AZproductions117]

@FWGE37 Man Is Just Something People Say, I Didn't Think You Were Nesscesarily A Boy.

[KillsDrawings]

@TheJedigir you are very right laddy so for bloody hell stop fighting over this

[Phoenixup13]

Music has nothing to do with religion. Enjoy the sound and lose yourself <3

[PILRofFIRE]

@Phoenixup13 some of it does

[musicgirl12357]

@Phoenixup13 yes it does ppl use music 2 preach the gospel all the time.

[theoriginalcmpunkfan]

omg this song and the orginal is awesome <3 10 thumbs up baby <3

[JayPyroStudios]

skillet podcast brought me here!

[20TheGame09]

Nice

[Skystar884]

This is pretty sick, totally wicked, and full of Skillet's epicness.

[isadorabarbosagomes]

loveeeeeeeeeeeee skillet monster unleah the Beast

[isadorabarbosagomes]

love skillet monster

[matthewnittolo]

"I feel like a bastard."

[AngelDog102]

This and the Hero remix are both so awesome!

[Kurogetsu1]

people should stop comparing this and the original. unlike the hero mix it was supposed to sound lika a completely different and should be treated as such

[Kurogetsu1]

@Kurogetsu1 a completely different song*

[DarkJayWolf]

this album reminda me of linkin park's reanimation album, remixed they'r best selling album hybrid theory where as skillet remixed or remixing awake =D

[DarthKieduss43]

This song makes me cry so much because it makes me feel bad and remorseful for everything I've done. I feel like a monster for what I've done.

[Skystar884]

@DarthKieduss43 I think that was there intention. This version definitely makes me feel more that way than the original though.

[16togssg]

@DarthKieduss43 Don't feel bad about what you've done! That's the devil making you remember, making you think that you'll never be forgiven! You are ALWAYS forgiven as long as you ask for forgiveness.

Guilt makes us ask for forgiveness. Just know that the monster can be tamed.

[Hobolauncher]

I don't get why people get so defensive over comments. Christians bands or regular bands, who gives a damn whether the message is for christians or not. I get so sick of people losing it over what someone believes the songs message is. Just like it or don't. stop arguing and just enjoy the damn music!

[musicgirl12357]

@Hobolauncher unfortunately it does matter due 2 constant religiouse conflict these days. where religion seems more irrelevent but i think the same thing. y duose it matter as long as the song is good it doesn't matter. I was overjoyed when I found skillet was a christian band since my religiouse mother will allow me 2 here it.

[Jesusavesalone1010]

I am a believer/follower of Jesus Christ, but I don't believe in shoving it down people's throats. I can't make people ask Christ to be their savior. I think Skillet has that down. They are a Christian band, yet they don't shove it down people's throats. (if you doubt they are a christian band, read the dedication in the CD booklet that comes in awake). They write their songs to have a message. They are speaking truth, but whether people accept it or not, is up to them. Enjoy the music.

[martian712]

@Jesusavesalone1010 I don't believe that shoving it down people's throats is the appropriate technique, but I do believe in witnessing. You do have the power to help people accept Christ. I've seen it happen, I've done it. And it saves lives, I personally think it's a sin to not desire someone to be a Christian.

[jojogirl1000]

it makes me sad to hear people arguing about such stupid things on this video. I am a christian and for me personally I find Skillet music closely relates to my relationship with God. but quite obviously there is nothing wrong with a non christian listening to Skillet, music is free for anyone to listen to. I'd like to apologize for the other christians acting so damn sanctimonious and self righteous, they have clearly lost the true meaning of christianity.

[transformer1500]

@jojogirl1000 i know what you mean, i am not christian but you don't have to be to appreciate the awesomeness of Skillet's music, good music is good no matter if it is by a christian artist or not.

[ThomasKetheanSmith]

@jojogirl1000 with you 100% on that. those who look at others and compare who is the strongest believer is more of a pharacy....just like hitler did when he though God wanted him to make the world a better place because he thought he was holier than even the pope.

[musicgirl12357]

@jojogirl1000 i agree

[Gammerboy226]

wait oops i love them if u guys read that wrong

[Stylerandie]

better than the orginal

[peacheslovesjesus]

I will say this. It is interesting though that the only 'religion' that gets the snot beat out of it is that of CHRISTianity. Let some other person come on here and say they are this or that, and no one will say a word. Because I love JESUS, I get persecuted. You are right, no one should shove any thing down some one eles's throat. But now you know how we feel when someone shoves nudity, fornication, drugs, the occult, etc. down our throats in entertainment. The show 'Skins' is okay, butnoJESUS

[kcbowers9]

@peacheslovesjesus I am a Christian however we dont get "persecuted" in this country as much as Muslims do by far. just look at the post 9/11 world. most peoples reaction when they see a woman in a hijab is "terrorist. taking this further USA Christians do not get persecuted nearly as much as Christians in lets say CHina or Uganda or even Christians in Iran.

[sonicthehedgehog9989]

@peacheslovesjesus if you dont like whats on tv dont watch it. an your full of yourself if you think christians are the only ones who get the crap beat out of them for there faith try being celt people hate me just cuz there faith tells them to an that faith being christianity

[peacheslovesjesus]

@sonicthehedgehog9989 Ditto for CHRISTians praising on sites featuring CHRISTian artists. The difference is that what I believe will save me in the LONG ETERNAL run. You are right, I don't watch that mess. But you are here: free choice, welcome. But I will bless JESUS CHRIST and no one can tell me to different. I have JESUS backing me. Do you have "skins' backing you? No. You can worship who you want. I can't force u to believe. Thats how wars get started. Real ones and cyber ones. JESUS LOVES U

[zerutuby]

the best track on the ep

[ttiwehsivartevolI]

So much hostility in these comments. I am an Atheist, and I love this band, because they are very musically talented. Just shut up and listen to the song :)

[Gammerboy226]

@ttiwehsivartevolI Thank God lol (athiest joke) ;) i agree i dont like them because they are christian they are musically GIFTED people really need to calm down about this religion dispute -_-

[utubegurl88]

Why is it that on almost every single video on Skillet I see people fighting about religion? Yes, Skillet is a Christian band, and a lot of Believers, myself included, love them. Yes, people who aren't Believers listen to them, as well. It's not that big of a deal. Skillet's music touches a lot of people, so can't we all just agree that we love them, and move on?

[mkerr322]

This is rubbish the original kills this. Very disappointed this should have been epic. I request a redo of this remix, it doesn't do this great song any justice at all. :(

[MrSarge1990]

i hate this remix. the stiffling the monster. it call unleash the beast, but the beast is only snuffed out. there too much techno to it. monster was only meant to be a metal song, not techno. and i'm pro-techno, but certain songs are never meant to have techno in them and Monster is one of those songs.

[Jankkari]

@MrSarge1990

you say Monster is metal? No no no. It's Christian Rock

[MrSarge1990]

@Jankkari i know is classified as christian rock, but they could be christian metal very easilly. they just have to say, "oh yeah. we're metal now" but if the keep making shit like this ... god damn this track sux.

[kami799]

@MrSarge1990

remixes are based on techno

[xxShadowxWolfx0]

i like this one better



[Godofwargorgon654]

Ok enough with the religious crap being posted on this video! Nobody (meaning me) cares about what your religious values are and just appreciate this song for what it is!!!!

[lovemehatemepaul]

@Godofwargorgon654 : Enough of the Atheistic Crap..... Nobody cares what you think.,... everyone has the right to say whatever he wants... so you can just Zip it and if someone wants to express his religious views he can...

[Jetblackcrack]

@lovemehatemepaul

How was that atheistic?

Its just that no one wants people preaching on the internet because,

1. its annoying.

2. Honestly no one cares so it should be considered spam.

You also said that people can express whatever views or opinions that they want, well

why don't you let him express his opinion?

[Godofwargorgon654]

@lovemehatemepaul its just really annoying when people preach about the Christian god on awesome videos, and by the way im not an atheist, im a pagan and I enjoy skillet so i dont care wat u think. :P

[sonicthehedgehog9989]

@lovemehatemepaul your a hypocrit you cant tell some one to shut up an in the same txt say every one has the right to say whatever they want

[Godofwargorgon654]

@lovemehatemepaul First of all, I'm not an atheist and im not a Christian. Second, I really dont give a rat's buttocks about wat ur views are. Finally, Im sick and tired of fascists shoving religion down people's throats. Therefore, im shutting down ur argument.

[roflcat2424]

amazing song is amazing, only people of God can do this

[RealBronzeClaws]

@roflcat2424 That's rather biased.

[ninjaFAUST]

@roflcat2424 AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHA!!!!.... oh wait you were serious weren't you haha funny

[FrozenKing18]

Jen Ledger nees to sing more

[BlueAsGrass]

I always enjoy remixes. Even if I do think the original is better, it's always kool to hear a different take on it.

[jmv1]

this song is weak. Original is way better

[xxLillysChannelxx]

i just love both versions =)

[SamBrodyMoonPrincess]

Guys, just listen to the song. That's what you're here for, right?

I personally like the original, but this is an interesting take on the song.

[TheJedigir]

@SamBrodyMoonPrincess thats absolutely right, couldnt agree more with what you said. so everybody stop the fighting and just enjoy the song, because remember, skillet isnt just for christians, anybody can listen to them, but they dont have to be a christian in order to listen to them and other great christian bands. am i right?

[gokashi]

@TheJedigir funny u say that i'm an atheist and get called a "closet Christian" because they are my favorite band and i always have an agrument cuz it's just music and it can mean different things to different people and i think people need to realize that

[TheJedigir]

@gokashi i totally respect that u r an atheist because theres nothing wrong with that, and your right, skillets not limited to christians. everybody should know that, along with other christian bands, same goes for them. this other guy here is just ripping me off for no apparent reason. its just getting on my nerves big time. wanna tell him to let people believe what they wanna believe?

[gokashi]

@TheJedigir yea thanks for that, i understand what your saying and i was talking to my brother about it and he was like well i think im a closet atheist( cuz well he goes to church but is starting to think that there isn't a god) and says that oh now all my music is atheist loving. and i couldn't help but laugh at that

[ThomasKetheanSmith]

@TheJedigir i agree with what you say about letting people believe what they want to believe, but you know us humans...if you don't believe what someone else believes in, and it doesnt have to be on religious beliefs, it could be political, or even fanatical in sports and celebrities, they'll hate you for that one reason and won't let you forget it. it's sad, but that's how humans become. all you can do is walk on, let them shine, cause they'll be in the dark in the end

[Lordgale119]

@TheJedigir You're one hundred percent right. for a while I had the top rated comment on a RED video, until some jerk began flaming me for being agnostic on a christian band's video. It pissed me off so much that this guy thought just because I didn't like being christian, I shouldn't love the music. It's MUSIC, the universal religion, for f*ck's sake!

[TwilightCullens1991]

@TheJedigir Totally agree with you. Im a Christian myself but i have one or 2 friends who aren't but they love skillet.

[theoriginalcmpunkfan]

@TheJedigir i agree with you all the way :)

[KillsDrawings]

@TheJedigir you are right good sir so for bloody hell stop fighting

[criminalminds613]

@TheJedigir

you are most definitely right :D

[blaqkaudio2011]

It's amazing Jen's singing in this. <3 Yay Jen. :)

[xxwynnexx47]

ohhh so much fighting?

[unabailible]

the original has less Jen, therefore this version is good.

[Angelus1713]

While I love the original, this is a decent trance remix.

[bubblegum6175]

they are my favorite band but i like the original MUCH better!!! this one is too mellow :P

[hollowform09]

i like the original and new one

[CyberXtronic]

i am an atheist and i love them! <3

[ArcaneArts]

Wow, cool.

[m1xruss]

Да вы патлатые, хорошо парень играет на баяне

[CowgirlHank]

BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!

[EricCartman0001]

OK have to say something can't hold it in. Who cares if christians or any other religious follower believe in god they believe what they want if they are happier with there faith then why not let it go. For people who don't believe in god who cares let them believe what they want they have opinions just like religious followers do. LET IT FUCKING GO it gets old with the bullshit arguing just enjoyed the music for what it is.......MUSIC, ENTERTAINMENT what ever you want to call it.

[EricCartman0001]

Ok I have to say something I can't hold it back. Should it really matter what people think honestly about you or your beliefs if there are christian followers out there that believe there is a god who cares as long as there happy with what they believe then let it go. For people who don't believe in god who cares let them believes what they want. Everyone is their own person that's what makes people their own being. LET IT FUCKING GO it gets old hearing the same old shit.

[Redsunrise86]

Im still trying to debate my feelings about this song, i do like the almost dubstep sound of it, but at the same time, it takes out almost all the lyrics and metal drive which made the song what it is... I dunno, in the end its all personal opinion, because, to be completely honest, they still rock harder than most mainstream christian music either way!

[shubhu1997]

everyone who fights for this music as christian or etc. etc. the don't know how to enjoy music. thumbs up if u agree

[SeleneDeathDealer1]

I am not christian and I just LOVE this band. It's not like non-christian people can't listen to this band.

[SylvurZero]

25 people aren't panheads...

[TheJedigir]

is there a cd or some album off of itunes i can buy this song off of?

[omarberami15]

I don´t consider my self a Christian,but anyway i kinda like the band and his songs

[TheJedigir]

great, it starts out calm then next thing ya know, its that monster growl. love it

[JayJayRock12]

NOW this is music +_+

[robotjj0009]

this is awesome for like a 10 minute Countdown video b4 Skillet takes the stage.

[wheels1927]

skillet is my favriote band and =theyre christan

[spazzyboy13136]

i think you should just bequiet, and those who are born again should just praise the lord that skillet and all who helped them exist.

[RigmanZ11]

Ponies brought me here

[jk59beads]

SHUT UP AND ROCK!

[happyface530]

i have a link in my video

[happyface530]

if u like skillet check this band out they havent had any songs yet but they will soon

[fusion594]

I agree the remix album is good but I hope their 2012 album isnt the same as this because I like the regular albums like awake,collide and comatose (not hating the band is still awesome)

[DeadWPG]

PLEASE STOP FIGHTING OVER THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN THING! Christians who say to stop fighting because they're doing what god wants them too NOT HELPING! People saying they aren't christian and that NOT HELPING! It is good music leave it at that. Don't bring personal views into a band's creation as it's the bands message and their views that made the song NOT yours.

[Creighster]

Jen has a sexy voice!

[shubhu1997]

thumbs up if u think that the original is a better one



[206Zelda]

This was wonderful!

[curtisJM26]

i dont believe god hates but i do beleive people who dont understand what the bible means makes everyone else very confused... but wtf  listen to this awsome music and live and love as he would. peice!!! and love!!!! and ...lol

[b3rni69]

omg. what's it!?!?!?!?!!?!

[squidking8901]

three words:This. Is. AWESOME!!!!!!!!

thats all =D

[PILRofFIRE]

3:59

[SylvurZero]

I heart Skillet so much... At the concert I was so close to John that i felt his sweat when he started headbanging...

[b3stgl1tch3r]

this remix is totally else, dude remixes got few changes! not 9/10th change and then putting in some sentences.

A. if u made it, do it better

B. if someone else made it, don't copy, let them upload

[ChazWTFLOL]

@b3stgl1tch3r

Man, I think this remix is official from the extended play (EP Remix) version of "Awake" :/

[Jesusfreak3221]

personally i think only hero's remix is the only good one on their EP album. all the others kinda take away from the lyrics in my opinion. they all have really great sound to them. but monster and dont wake me dont fit the music to the lyrics. skillet rocks tho :) and so does GOD!!!

[green13punk]

At parts of it, it sounds like Jen's backing vocals are saying "Shoot me in the head". Just throwing that one out there

[dc17commando]

can't we all just SHUT UP AND DIG THE MUSIC

[soubiluv98]

*searches for a way to hide comments*

[Strings4TheSavior]

this would be such a sick dubstep track.

[HumanBassCannon]

@Strings4TheSavior Amen to that.

[HumanBassCannon]

@Strings4TheSavior 1:37 would be the drop.

[Strings4TheSavior]

@HumanBassCannon agreed!

[Fibifee]

that's not bad it's AWFUL

[AlbertWhiskers101]

i still think all their remixes on this "album" are too slow, they should be faster than the original songs

[AlbertWhiskers101]

it takes a while to get into. but it got pretty cool at about 1:38

[Strings4TheSavior]

@AlbertWhiskers101 the drums at 1:38 are pretty close to dubstep :)

[snap3hunt3r]

To all you people fighting about their "christian music" This is how they do it. They write music that has more of a effect on their christian fan base. And they also write music that has more effect on their secular fan base. Although all of their songs do have a christian base its just some are more "in your face" than others. And others just talk about every day life that people go though with God or Not. I am a Born again spirit filled christian and they are doing their part in Gods Plan.

[devryjosh]

@snap3hunt3r AMEN BROTHER!!!

[carson01061995]

@snap3hunt3r For the record though I've been to several concerts. They are Christian :D

[robotjj0009]

@snap3hunt3r You can find a Christian message in say... "Monster" but its more obvious to find it in "You are my Hope" is what he's trying to say.

[dxhbk4]

@snap3hunt3r Amen, my friend.

[SylvurZero]

@snap3hunt3r ....JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!

[MagnusDetErMeg]

@snap3hunt3r Gods plan? Wow, you must really be incredibly stupid...

[TheHawkeye291]

@MagnusDetErMeg

actually, we christains are not Stupid at all! i am not stupid.

you just need to understand God's plan of salvation........and repent

[MagnusDetErMeg]

@TheHawkeye291 There is no plan, you big idiot... WE choose what happens, it's no fucking pedo guy deciding what happens.. I feel sorry for your brain.

[TheJedigir]

@MagnusDetErMeg there is a plan, we dont choose, we think we choose, but god planned these choices, every corner, every smallest single detail we see, do, hear, feel, taste, and smell was all planned out, it was by his plan that these things happen, even the 911 attacks, plus, your just making yourself an idiot by thinking that he did not plan all this out, because he did, you must realise his plan exists, and let jesus come into your heart and redeem you from your sin. dont let satan mess u up!

[monkey4yew]

@TheJedigir Can't tell if trolling...

[MagnusDetErMeg]

@TheJedigir Did you get brainwashed as a kid, or are you just plain stupid? If you had an IQ of over 70 you'd understand christianity is bullshit.

[ArcaneArts]

@MagnusDetErMeg Did you know that Albert Einstein believed that there was intelligent design?

Anyways, trying to conclusively say any religion(I include atheism) is a pointless experiement, and doubly so on Youtube. If you think Christianity is bullshit, good for you. Does it kill you for others to believe in it? If they're wrong, they'll find out. If not, well, you'll find out.

You don't need to go pissing in people's Cheerios just because you like Honey Nut Cheerios better.

[ABNbassist]

@MagnusDetErMeg Just listen to the song mate. I think Christianity is a bit on the Bullshit side too but that has nothing to do with the song.

[TheJedigir]

@MagnusDetErMeg IT IS NOT BULL#*@$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE BRAINWASHED INTO THE WORLD SO MUCH THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT SATAN IS USING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEART TO JESUS AND LET HIM COME INTO YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU WONT, WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT THE CONSEQUENSES WILL BE WHEN YOU DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND PLUS, YOUR BEING BLINDED BY SATAN SO MUCH THAT YOU DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!! UNDERSTAND THIS OR KNOCK IT OFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KytaEternal]

@TheJedigir u mad bro?

[MagnusDetErMeg]

@TheJedigir All your acts show that your a brain washed poor kid. Satan does NOT exist. I bet you believe in santa too!

[TheJedigir]

@MagnusDetErMeg santa is a fake, satan is real, God is real, and i have real reasons to believe.

[TheSamuraiGirl32]

@TheJedigir Technically Santa is based off of Saint Nicholas so he is kind of real to an extent.

[TheJedigir]

@TheSamuraiGirl32 that was done to make fun of him.

@MagnusDetErMeg plus can you prove evolution and t
