SKILLET Monster ~ Composer Reaction and Dissection on The Decomposer Lounge
Old Composer Reacts to Prog Rock and Heavy Metal
They are called Skillet because the original members had a lot of varied influences that they all threw in the "skillet" that made the recipe for the band's sound. They are actually one of the most popular rock bands in the US right now. The bass player/lead vocalist, John and the keyboardist, Korey, are married. I got to meet John back in the late 90s and he's a great dude with a huge heart!
This song didn’t show that their female drummer also does vocals, so when they do it’s a pretty neat dynamic to hear the to voices bounce off each other
Jen Ledger's voice is awesome! Adds some great color to their songs
this was indeed ALL over rock radio when this came out. One of my local stations even used an instrumental loop of this specific song as transition music while a DJ was talking. Got beat to death, but the main riff is so good this will forever be a guilty pleasure.
You should react to "A Little Piece of Heaven" by "Avenged Sevenfold", a song from a popular metal band, the song is hugely inspired by Oingo Boingo and Mr. Bungle.
Agree 👍
I know how much you love real strings, so you gotta check out Skillet: Awake and Alive.
If looking for more Skillet songs I suggest the following ones:
From Collide (2003): Imperfection, Collide, Open Wounds, Fingernails
From Comatose (2006): Comatose, Whispers In The Dark, Rebirthing The Last Night
Skillet songs like this are fun to listen to in the car 😀 short songs with a lot of impact!
Saw Skillet at the Louder Than Life festival last weekend. They put on a great show!
Whispers in the dark & Feel invincible are both fantastic skillet tracks
It's funny you say it sounds like it was made for a game or movie, since it was featured in the wrestling game Smackdown vs Raw. Not a fan of Skillet these days but this did make me nostalgic.
I really think that when you get a chance to listen to something different you should try to listen to the band “Red”. I think that their most recent album “Declaration” is definitely one of their hardest albums with the last song not being as punchy as the rest of the album.
Definitely, Red is a great band.
Yesssd ..❤️Red.
Skillet got me into music!!
Sooooo excited you did Skillet. ❤️ Love them. They're great Live❤️❤️❤️
Such a good band
I'm learning things here lol. I was thinking "Man that would be a great song in video because the beat is powerful enough to be used in synch with images." And you said it right there at the end. I gave myself a pat on the back LOL. Thanks Geebz!!!
Hey Geebz! I'm not the one who requested this, but your bit at the beginning about not knowing whether the person's still subscribed prompted me to say that, as the person who spammed Sylosis requests for a long time, I'm still here and hanging out! I stopped spamming them because I saw that you put a "love" on one of them, so I figure it's in your queue and I don't need to keep requesting it :)
Hope you're having a good day! Your videos are great.
This has always reminded me of animal I have become by three days grace, at least in the chorus. Skillet's not my jam but I'm here to support you Geebz.
This is the first time I have heard this song, I made it about 2mins into this video, and you are exactly right. I would rate this song... Not Good.
@@adrianguyton2929 not that it’s not good, it’s really really average. Like an album filler. I don’t know why this is one of their main track they have waay more interesting stuff
No way you're reacting to this! I just saw Skillet live in concert two days ago! And they played this song live!
It’s sometimes hard to hear the bass with Skillet, because the bass player is the lead vocalist.
I listened to Skillet a lot in middle/high school since I came from a very religious family and they are a christian rock band. Looking at Spotify is seems Monster is their biggest hit (I haven't followed them for years) but I would suggest their album Collide which I think was by far their best (far heavier, less "generic radio rock"). Some songs from that album would be Open Wounds, Collide, Fingernails, Energy, or Cycle Down
Loved the personal history video. Very retrospective and interesting
One of the things a little more unique about Skillet (that is not highlighted on this track) is their use of symphonics. Lots of their songs have more traditional stringed instruments woven into the rock. I saw someone else mention it here, but Awake and Alive is one that comes to mind by Skillet.
Personally, I would love to see you take a look at music by Anberlin. They're more in the alternative vein on the rock spectrum and definitely have some unique vocals and arrangements. Their songs Modern Age and Unwinding Cable Car are two of my all-time favorites.
Morning Geebz! Dont really care for Skillet, but im here for your thoughts on it 🤘 lets go!
If you wanna listen to a good skillet song try "Whispers in the Dark" or "Imperfection". But better yet you should listen to the song "Fall Goliath, Fall" by Project 86 or really anything by Blindside and My Epic.
+1 for “Imperfection” on the next Skillet video. I feel like it’s one of the more complex and unique among Skillet’s hard rock song selection. It is also from my favorite album of theirs. I really wish they would’ve explored their style on that record a bit more before moving to a more radio friendly style.
Almost everything off Collide was fantastic. Imperfection hit hardest tho
Project 86 is an excellent unique band.
Dude... Project 86 and Blindside are really interesting bands!
SLEEP TOKEN!!!!!!!! I would love to see you spend a week just doing the whole new album This Place Will Become Your Tomb. Incredible is the only way to describe it.
It’s amazing that this song turned 5x Platinum this year. Love this song. I heard a few people say they don’t know how to play drums or guitar yet they continue to perform and get more and more popular. But also the messages within their songs are great as well. Skillet is the type of band that doesn’t care what other people say about them as far as negativity goes because they’re all about positivity. They got millions of followers who love them and their music and the energy when they’re live is just mind blowing. Good stuff
just subscribed. Love what you got going on on here.
Skillet is great!!! 💘💗😊
Please do Dimmu Borgir "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse"
I've heard this so many times in this Hulk video that my little boy loves that I can't stand it now 😂
Wooo Friday
Morning GeebZ. Have a stellar day🤘🤙
Skillet is a fun band...huge in the Christian metal music scene, but have also made inroads to secular metal as well. "Invincible" is a good one that showcases the call and response vocal style between the lead singer and the drummer.
Check out "I Want To Live" by Skillet! Such an awesome arrangement with dynamics, strings, and it showcases their drummer (Jen Ledger) singing as well. Super good!
Legendary, Feel invincible, Awake and Alive are some really good ones to go.
Check out Thousand Foot Krutch life line, or fly on the wall
Skillet sounds like a ton of other rockbands! Nuff said...
Mornin' Geebz! Thanks for the vid!
Agreed, I'd say this song is predictable and kind of boring.
@@dnd6075 This track sounds alot like THREE DAYS GRACE...
@@dnd6075 ur band must be better..oh wait
@@dnd6075 This is true. Their earlier stuff was not like this.
@@collin2502 i dont have to be in a band to critique a band, this is kind of the forum for critiquing. i guess if youre a marxist what just wrote would make a lot of sense
Skillet has a long history - they got their start in 1996, with a sound that was mostly a heavy grunge, but with a hint of progginess on their self-titled debut. My favorite songs off that album are "Gasoline" (an original, not a cover) and "Saturn" - a gorgeous acoustic piece.
Their second album ("Hey You, I Love Your Soul") is their most "prog" - with bassist/vocalist John Cooper's wife Corey joining in on keyboards & synths - favorite songs are "Deeper" and "Suspended In You".
Several interesting but less impactful albums followed, but 2003's "Collide" marked a significant change in style/sound for the band - with two songs I consider among their best: "Open Wounds" and "Fingernails". Both are autobiograpical and painfully honest - excellent songs!
"Comatose" - from 2006 - had a particular stand-out song for me - "Whispers In the Dark" has a bit of a goth feel added to the sharp metal sound Skillet had grown into - and an excellent guitar solo using a harmonizer.
Composer reaction:D
Great reaction but they opened for Liliac in Montana which was a great show no one left after Skillet performed everyone stayed for Liliac.
My 6 year old loves this band because their songs get used on the internet along with Sonic the Hedgehog videos. I've heard these more times than I can count. As a band, they're too formulaic for my liking, but they're catchy enough.
This is pretty much a pop song, you should really check
Karnivool - Goliath
Rishloo - Just a Ride
Mt Helium - Where
Fair to midland - Dance of the manatee
Arcane - Unturning
Their song whispers in the dark is better musically. More diverse and includes a solo, might be an interesting review if you do it.
I think you would LOVE Apocalyptica. They are four classically trained cellists who created a rock/metal band. This is best illustrated with their song/video Path. They did later come out with a Path Vol 2 which is the same song but with a German singer. ALL of their songs with vocals are always with guest vocals, and I think this adds an extra layer to their awesomeness as artists.
Christian heavy metal has come a long way since Stryper.
For a straight up rock and roll band you should try Highly Suspect. Listen to Bloodfeather or Lydia. Love your videos as always.❤️
Solid superpop, with a nice guitar riff. A bit saccharine for me, but not bad.
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Love what you do. Please do nerves by bauhaus. The first 40 to 50 seconds is silence, but I love the composition on the rest.
Being a Christian act, they focus on the message and not so concerned with long solos. So their songs are mostly on the shorter side.
GEEBZ, meet the husband/wife duo that will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
BERRIED ALIVE - STRAWBERRY SERENITY
🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓
Not a band that I have ever heard before. Not to bad but not something I am into. I appreciate the content and once again thanks for the vids
I made an AMV with this song when I was 17 lol
Aloha my friend! Cycle back: Katatonia - Heart Set To Divide, Draconian - Sleepwalkers, Opeth - Burden, Mastodon - Jaguar God NEW STUFF: Borknager - Winter Thrice, Soen - Opal, Alcest - Sapphire, Dimmu Borgir - Progenies Of The Great Apocalyse...
Skillet's first album (self-titled) from 1996 shows why they can really do. 10 songs and not a single one sounds like the other. Skillet's last good album was "Comatose" from 2006. I really do hate to use the phrase but it's the only one that works: they went corporate. They've still put out some songs I enjoy, it's just no longer an entire album's worth. I don't begrudge them their success, I just wish they'd rediscover their roots and inject some variety back into their music.
Janes Addiction - 3 Days (studio remastered version)
Moron Police - Captain Awkward
Tool - Bottom
***New Additions***
ASG - Horsewhipper (Stoner Rock)
Rollins Band - Grip (jazz musicians with hardcore punk singer)
This song was picked up by WWE and some other deals. Definitely got the catchy hooks.
This is a paint by numbers song
Geebz, please consider ERRA! Eye of God is a great place to start. I've seen so many people ask for them!
Your still my fav reactor and person to smoke my joint with 👌
Please please react to
Road runner United -Enemy of the state
Joey jordinson RIP from slip knot wrote /composed and played on most instruments on this song
The lyrics are jibberish and don’t mean anything so the focus is mostly on the music
Love to see your thoughts 💭
I'd really like if you took a listen to Comatose by Skillet next.
I’m pretty sure I heard this track before and I think I’d rather here a live version. There was a band in the 90s called Shiner and when you heard them live the drum and bass were the most amazing. They came out with a studio album and it was all guitar and vocals. I’m not sure what happened to Shiner but I really liked them…live.
Can you please do something by Harakiri for the Sky?
Good thoughts on an ok song
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Linkin Park's: Breaking the Habit
Acid King - Electric Machine
Mastodon- Capillarian Crest
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
High on Fire - Carcosa
Metallica- Creeping Death
Meshuggah- Demiurge
Freedom Hawk- Executioner
You should react to the new song surviving the game
Never understood the hate for Skillet and or Nickelback. Its good catchy fun music and they are successful with it. It's an opinion and its fine to not like a band but the attacking that people send to them is interesting.
I don't know if you take suggestions from new subs, but i would really like to hear what you have to say about: SEVEN - SKYLINE DIVIDED. prog rock band from Illinois( I think). \m/
It's amazing how you can make the most run of the mill, commercial rehash seem almost interesting
Jock Rock....lol. I'm interested to see your take on this kind of "music", at least.
Shame . was hoping for a banger for my b-day.
Feel Invincible and the Resistance is a better Skillet song - you also get to hear Jen sing in those as well while she plays drums.
You need to do an ERRA reaction. “Divisionary” would be a perfect start. I love your dissections and would kill a man in front of his own mama for an ERRA decomp.
Request #37 for Devin Townsend Project’s “Planet of the Apes”
Don't know if it was my comment, somehow I doubt it. Skillet is... well, they get radio play. I like the music, for what it is, but it is definitely the pop end of pop rock.
Skillet is a Christian rock band that doesn't sound like a Christian rock band, which is one of the reasons the band has outlived such bands as jars of clay and others that were popular in the late 90's / early 2000's, and Skillet is still popular, today.
The Resistance from Skillet has a much different vibe than this one. Little harder hitting and uses Jen's vocals a lot.
Don't mind a bit of Skillet. Simple but catchy.
We are still without a reaction to "Beauty School" by Deftones, just saying :D
Keep up the good work, Geebz!
Seconding the Beauty School request!
Skillet got me into metal, though I can't say that I care for their music or their statements anymore
LETS GO MONSTERS!! LETS GO MONSTERS!! WOOO!!
(Goal song for AHL's Cleveland Monsters 😁)
Oh gosh. I grew up in a pretty strict southern Baptist household, and thus was only allowed to listen to and buy Christian music bought from a Christian bookstore at our local mall, until I was like 15 or so. I remember one day my Mom brought home two new “edgy” rock albums for me. Skillet was one of them and I have always really disliked them from the first listen. (The other band was called Tourniquet and I actually liked that one). But this type of nu-metal rock with those (imo) terrible vocals is what my friends and I eventually classified as “butt rock”; before that title was created for bands like Disturbed and 3 Days Grace. Random personal story I know, I was just hit with a lot of nostalgia upon seeing and hearing this song, despite how much I dislike them.
Great band...but somewhat hated like Nickelback for their radio success, female band members/Drummer/backing singer/ and for their Christian ties. Solid band in the same wheelhouse as Three Days Grace, Puddle of Mud , Breaking Benjamin, & Evan's Blue. Evan's Blue would be my next suggestion if it weren't for me really wanting to see your reaction to Jason Richardson and Like Holland - Ho's Down . Thank you Awwwright!!
Legit thought this was a 3dg song lol catchy tune!
@@mtgguiltfeeder4111 yes definitely easy to mix them up unless you are a die hard fan of either band
Bleh! Actually skipped to your discussion just to avoid the music itself.
But speaking of February, I think that’s when I started requesting “Afternoon With the Axolotls” and/or “Isle of the Cheetah” by Hum. Maybe even January. Just a friendly reminder. 😉
:( total ripoff song of Linkin Park 'Faint'.
You reacted to this from a comment in March but you still haven't listened to Starset?! *sad face*
I don't like these guys. Everything about them feels basic, from music to lyrics.
🤢
Never cared for Skillet. The drummer, Jen, doesn't know how to tune or hit the snare so it always sounds off.
I’ve never heard this band, only heard of the frontman and his stupid opinions on most everything.
