1st album, kinda grunge. 2-4 electronic heavy. My theory? Korey joined and was on keyboards exclusively so they tried this direction. On the 5th lp they put a guitar in her hands and started melting faces. It explains the name, throw everything in a skillet and see what's cooking.
Well, the most important thing is that this is from one of their early albums, from 2001 I think. They were more electronic back then. The song Savior you reacted to is from their 2003 album, Collide. That's when they started to form their current sound. I can see why you don't like it lol. I'm not the biggest fan of the pre-Collide albums either. And to be honest the score you gave amused me more than angered me, I'm not leaving the channel anytime soon 😂
Agreed, if my first exposure to them had been pre-collide I wouldn't have stuck around. I don't think I even own anything from that era. I enjoy how each album you can clearly see a progression.
First of all, thanks you for reaction. You are first one who reacted to the song and tell me something more about it. I am really greatful and hope the you will continoue with skillet.
PS: love that you are honest and don't lie to your subscribers.
You have to react to Collide
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video.
David this panhead, and obviously from comments, the panheads that started following you from the beginning are feeling you .... I bought a 3 pack of Skillet CD's awhile back and didn't like the first 2 CD's in the pack ... only listened to the Awake and Alive CD. And as I have already commented, Jen and her vocals mixed with John was what got me hooked. I have found that I do enjoy some of their older stuff, especially from Comatose, but love almost everything from Comatose on to Victorious! I really wouldn't have finished listening to this if it was on the radio, would have changed the station .... definitely not for everyone
Yeaaah old school Skillet was pretty rough.
Let’s hope the next skillet song, will take this back on track 👍🏽
I keep watching this vid, it’s hilarious, reacting to something that’s so bad.
But then again, this song could have helped something.
But I would honestly give this a 1.8
Lol ... I am currently listening to this ... if I didn't want to see David's reaction and the score, I seriously wouldn't continue listening to it 🥴
@@kellystrickland7412 it’s a weird track ain’t it Kelly
@@apec335 yes ... there's the parts where it ramps up and you think oh ok ... here's the Skillet I know and love ... and then .... you could see that David was the same as me ... he looked so disappointed when it dropped back down to the same loop ...
@@kellystrickland7412 yep hahaha
@@kellystrickland7412 did u see David’s post on Instagram for the best skillet song “salvation” ?
This is old school Skillet. They were heavy into industrial rock for 3 straight albums. It’s my favorite era but I understand why newer fans don’t like this
I 100% agree with you!
This song was terrible
This isn't one of my favorites, to be honest. It's a really early Skillet song; like others said, it's from their electronic rock era. That's the main reason I myself don't like it as much. I don't hate it, but I don't love it, either. And I'm a huge Panhead, too. Many Panheads don't like a lot of their pre-Collide stuff, and I can say that I'm not crazy about about a lot of it, either. I like some of it, but I don't love a lot of what I do like from the pre-Collide era. Nope, I'm not leaving, sir. Part of the reason is because you're being honest. I appreciate your honesty. As I commented to someone else, the only reasons I don't hate this song is the message and the fact that it's Skillet. I'm not trying to sound like a lemming with that, but with one exception (so far), I can't hate Skillet. And you're right that it doesn't sound like them.
Don’t feel bad about your score. It’s not a super great song. To be fair, it was released at the end of the 90s. So about 20 years ago. There was a lot of weird stuff going on back then.
I'm a little late to the party. I will say the video you selected was pretty bad. If you can get ahold of a CD or some other lossless source it may help your impression. But it was also when they were on smaller Christian label with decreased budget compared to where they're at now. They did have a competent mix engineer in Skidd Mills, though this was before music was mastered for streaming/mp3. I wouldn't expect you to be properly blown away by second try with a lossless source, but could help your impression. This was also recorded at a point in Skillet's history where they were between guitarists, so John and Skidd did all of the guitars, save one song.
This was I think from skillets 4th album, different sound, tone, audience I guess Definitely not my thing tho
Yeah ... I was wincing along with David
Other than a few songs alot of Skillet's early work before Collide I am not a fan of
@@dylanblurton1881 I think the only song I like from the old skillet time, is gasoline, it’s a very groovy tune
I'm a big fan of pre-collide music, really love the sound... very different and that's what I like about it.
If you saw my last comment; it's funny, I sounded to desperate lol. That's because I saw the song name and was like, "Awww no who requested this!" XD Like I said, it's like Ride The Lightning vs St Anger or Load, HUGE difference.
I became a Panhead in 2010 a year after Awake came out other than a few songs alot of Skillet's early stuff I am not a fan of this song was on the album Alien Youth which came out in 2001 Skillet experimented with alot of different sounds and styles in their early days they started with a grunge sound then went more electronic after this album Skillet went with a hard rock sound with their 2003 album Collide
I don't know what you're going to think about my musical taste, but I'll be honest. This is my second favorite song ever made ever. What can I say, it deeply moves me and I'm the kind of person that truly finds enjoyment in every genre and subgenre of music. I'm not abandoning the channel, dude. If industrial and electronic aren't your thing then they're not your thing. Therefore, I would advise you don't react to anything from their 2nd, 3rd or 4th albums. This is from their 4th, Alien Youth. I hope you can get back in the zone with Skillet on whatever the next song is that you check out.
By the way, even though you absolutely hated this song, I'm still just happy that someone out there finally reacted to it. That's still a treat for me. 😁
Same, I like most of pre-collide era. I was introduced to Skillet with Unleashed, but when I heard the earlier albums I really digged it.
The lyrics are awesome, so I agree there. But I'm not nuts about electronic rock overall. Really, the only reason I don't hate this song is because it's Skillet. I'm too much of a Panhead to hate anything they've done, which one exception--the re-dubbed version of Monster. That I do hate.
Hey David has anyone ever asked you to do their song 'Stand'? It's kind of a funny one, the creators of the kids show Veggie Tales asked them so cover one of their songs, and not only did they do it, they went WAY harder than they probably needed to. The best part is it's actually pretty decent lol. If you don't want to do it it's fine, but I think it might be a fun one if you don't take it too seriously.
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video.
@@THEDavidHeretic here goes nothing lol
ruclips.net/video/nwDG-pkL4I4/видео.html
they got the song title wrong in the description but the audio quality is good.
@@MBrailfan Added to the que
I remember that song from the Veggie Rocks album (it was the closing track). I still have the album myself and think most of the songs covered are pretty good.
Oh man, I love Stand Up. Its one of my favorite Skillet's old songs
The people demands Rammstein, please look to the Benzin song from Rammstein official
I bet you’d listen to it again for a million dollars
Hmmmmmm......money first and we'll talk.
wow we went REALLY deep into the lineup for this one, lol. I know others have said it already but a lot of the really early Skillet stuff is really not that good. And this is coming from a guy who owns 4 of their albums and considers them to be probably my favorite band.
Right from the start could tell you aren't a fan of the samples and everything. I'm a huge nu metal fan, but I listen to everything from the rolling stones to meshuggah. Gotta say, this is probably my favourite song ever... fell in love the moment I heard it. Do I think its perfect? Hell no. But I love it.
If I had heard it first time without headphones and was working out or something then no, i probably wouldn't like it either. But I heard it when I was looking for some chillout kinda songs in a dark room, headphones on, and It just hit so right... the ambient sounds and long build up make the rock side of the song really makes it seems like it just explodes too. But understandable if people don't that sort of thing... it took me a while to get into bands like Incubus
Btw, i thought there's plenty of bass when the song peaked. Maybe only heard it 'cause of my headphones though. Not sure what speakers you're using... maybe the bass is not very clear through speakers... I dunno. But its definitely there haha.
But I appreciate someone's finally done a review of this song, even though you didnt like it right from the start 🤣
hahahahahahaha! Great review! yeah, only the most die hard Skillet fans will know or even appreciate this song. I've been a Panhead since before they had Panheads, from their first album. I saw a skillet on an album cover and couldn't help but buy it, and I've been a Panhead ever since. They got all electronic for a few years and it didn't really work. This is from their Alien Youth album. from the same album though they have great songs like Eating Me Away and Kill Me, Heal Me. I think a lot of Skillet fans felt the same way for a few years.. :-)
Dk, cuz it 2001 song, and maybe it used to be good
This song should never be reviewed because it is a intermission song. This song in my opinion is a cool off song of the album Alien Youth. Which is probably why it was placed as track seventh out of 12.
Whoever requested this messed up big time. You had the chance to request one of the amazing Skillet songs post Collide Album and you request this from one of their first albums. Now we have to wait even longer for another Skillet reaction with an actual good request and we are still missing their best songs ever like Victorious, Reach or Fire and Fury
But the message is amazing!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the songs you either love or hate. I love it. I kinda hate Korey's part though.
i really dont like their first couple of albums, but thankfully that was them just stsrting out as a band
This is from 2001 on a Christian record label..... 2001 brother..... this isn’t the Atlantic Records they are on now.... so this is old.... this is when Korey did the background vocals
@David Heretic how did you go from Back From The Dead to this old school song?? This song is for the Panheads who were fans from the very beginning..
Listen please! Huge Skillet fan here! Skillet is fantastic, but their first 4 albums were bad. Skillet released a 2003 album called Collide, and it was good, but anything BEFORE Collide was just bad. You should be able to tell within the first 10 seconds if it is a Skillet song from 1996-2002 or 2003-present; it's a WORLD of difference. Somebody here said anything before Jen is bad, but that's not true at all; Skillet started being good in 2003, and Jen joined in 2008. P R O M I S E ! ! ! lol
Skillet albums (OLD, BAD TO MOST PEOPLE):
Skillet (Self titled)
Hey you, I love your soul
Invincible
Alien Youth
Skillet albums (GOOD OL' SKILLET)
Collide
Comatose
Awake
Rise
Unleashed
Victorious
I hope you see this info; it's important! It's like somebody hearing St. Anger and thinking it's regular Metallica; you'd need to explain, ya know? (Nothing against anybody who likes these "bad" albums, but almost nobody likes these)
Agreed 👍 ... although I didn't start listening until Hero ... loved the driving beat and those vocals with John and Jen!
I like a few songs from Skillet's first 4 albums but other than that I'm not a fan of Skillet's early work
I just noticed the (bad to most people) comment ... made me laugh 😅
@@kellystrickland7412 It's true though lol. I think John said he played a few old songs during the Unleashed tour or something and nobody knew what the heck was goin' on.
@@masterchanakinskywalker5335 yeah their popularity really grew with Hero and the Awake and Alive album as it was on the Christian radio stations and the WOW CD that year, plus because it's such a rocking song it had tons of secular play and millions of views on RUclips. So most people really didn't know who they were until then. People who really loved them started looking at older stuff ... I listened and passed on the stuff prior to comatose... which I passed on at first ... no Jen lol ... but heard Comatose again and then thought no this is good! What it's like to live without God in your life ... Comatose, just going through the motions dead inside. And gave some of their older songs a second chance. But still didn't get into anything before Collide. Funny how he said it felt like Dead Man Walking, and he hated that one, I didn't like it either but heard it again with another reactor ... Fil Fable ... and he loved it, but he also pays more attention to the lyrics and the words and less to the music and instruments and how it "works". And hearing it a couple more times ... it grew on me. Just like all but the more popular songs on every album since Comatose, I skipped at first, now listen and sing along to every song on all of there (good to most) albums.😎
Anything Before Jen, no go. Don’t even go there. This is painful. Thank God they finally figured out the direction the needed to go.
Collide and Comatose are before Jen and they are awesome. Collide got me into Skillet after all. And this song is one of my favorites from Alien Youth (and btw Alien Youth sucks)
Yeah I didn't get into them until after Jen ... Jen got me hooked ... well the combination of Jen and John really what got me
Collide and Comatose was before Jen and those are Skillet's best albums in my opinion
@@dylanblurton1881 possibly, depends on your musical taste ... I liked Comatose, and some on Collide ... I am not saying these albums are bad ... really love some of the songs from these albums... but it was Jen that hooked me and got me listening... and many of the Skillet fans are in the same camp as myself ... nothing against their older stuff ... I started listening after Hero made it to my local Christian music station so I am partial to the newer stuff ... didn't know of them prior to Awake and Alive
I can't stand people that worship Jen so much 🤷 As others have said, Collide and Comatose are their most solid and in my opinion best albums. Awake on the other hand has some of their weakest songs, and that's when Jen joined. And don't get me wrong, I like her and have nothing against her, but some fans don't see anyone in the band but her.
I definitely don't enjoy their first 4 albums, they all have this eletronic vibe. They have tons of great songs you haven't reacted to, I don't know what the person who recommended It to you was thinking. I'm almost 100% sure this person was pranking you, there's absolutely no point in recommending this song given all the good stuff they have
The requester may have been testing me to see if I would be honest in my reaction and my scoring....well, mission accomplished. LOL.
@@THEDavidHeretic well, there's not a person in the world who would dare to say you're not genuine haha. Keep it that way! Love your reactions
As a song itself it's okay, but like you said pretty basic and repetitive, like something you'd hear in church or performed by a more traditional Christian artist or something. Is it the worst song ever? No. Is it one of the best songs ever? In my opinion no. There are definitely some good songs from Skillet's early years but it depends on your tastes and if you're willing to accept and look past the fact that the band members were different compared to today, as believe it or not for as talented and good as the current members are they're not the be all end all of Skillet.
