      Skillet has sooooo much music. Dating back to their self titled album they have evolved so much since then. I love the entire album invincible. As well as collide as well as alien youth. It was after this that they did comatose and awake and rise along with the others. I just love how they’ve only gotten more and more amazing. I was a little sad when they went mainstream and at the same time I I love their stuff lol so I can’t complain 😅

I’ve been an OG fan of theirs from their first album and I just had a major flashback of alien youth lol 😆 my favorite growing up was the comatose album and their song Rebirthing always reminded me of pirates of the Caribbean because of the strings in the opening (I’m a musician and huge Hans Zimmer fan so that drew me immediately lol)

    Fun fact, when I was a young teen and just getting into Skillet, I was friends with a guy who was "more Christian" than me. I mentioned that I thought that Monster was a good song, and that I related to it as someone with mental health issues, since I often felt like a monster, and how it's a good metaphor. He got mad at me because he said "Well clearly it's about being a Christian in America, cause it's a Christian band, so all their songs have to be about God and Christianity, and it's about how you have to hide that you're a Christian in America." I disagreed, since just because someone is a Christian doesn't mean they can't talk about other things besides God, and that it doesn't invalidate my analysis that it could be about mental illness. He blocked me.

    • @isiomaifesanya
      @isiomaifesanya 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      That guy was a jerk, you have a good theory though. I always thought that Monster was a song about sin.
      Like how it makes people act in ways that they never think they would act. But your point is quite interesting too

    • @Scigeraptor
      @Scigeraptor 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Man, that guy needed a wake up call, I sure hope he got one. :x
      Coming from another Christian's perspective, it's easily a song about sin, sure, absolutely, 100% agree. But it can also be interpreted like that as well like any other song. Mental illness certainly can feel like a monster in its own right, no less causing someone to feel like a monster themselves. His having a cow over you having another thought about it was absolutely uncalled for and I really hope he eventually saw how out of line he was. Real sorry that happened to ya. :c

    • @joshuaboulee8190
      @joshuaboulee8190 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Sorry your friend did that to you. Part of the wonder of good songwriting is how many different people can walk away with their own personal message from it.

    • @amandaash476
      @amandaash476 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I always interpreted the mental illness side too. I’ve had depression since I was 4 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 21, which certainly feels like a monster. It’s also a commentary on how we’re made to feel in the church sometimes: like it’s some big secret we have to hide to keep up appearances. So I totally get where you’re coming from.

    • @ethanallan1114

    Skillet was actually the first band that I've ever listened to that I liked. Some years ago I started listening to them when I was 9 or 10 and then tried more heavier songs which led me to Three Days Grace, and Breaking Benjamin. Then I went on to Bullet for my Valentine which then got me thinking hmm. So I went on with Demon Hunter, Exodus, Iron Maiden, SlipKnoT, and Fucking Slayer, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and lots more. So basically Skillet was the starting point of Metal for me.
