The cleanest and most organized bus I've seen so far. It's really different when you're touring with family. You naturally make the place homely for the kids😊
Took care of these guys last summer when they stayed at the hotel i worked at, from the brief interactions ive had they were all amazingly polite and awesome.
This bus is definitely up there as one of the best buses we've had the pleasure of invading. Unlike other bands, Skillet actually owns this bus too, which is pretty sweet!
@@digitaltourbus Yeah I saw them live at a church shortly after the release of the Invincible album, and they were around before that even. I talked to the guitarist a bit about pedals and gear.
Their first album, self-titled Skillet, was released in 1996. Their album "Awake" (which is probably their most well known album due to songs like Hero, Monster, Awake and Alive, and Lucy being on it, was released in 2009. It was also the first album that Jen played on.
His favorite thing about the bus is the white walls and ceilings..👌 Most people that don’t know them think they are dark and scary because of how they sound on stage but following their amazing career you see how normal and family oriented they are. 👌
Short? You must be very tall. I just hung out with them last month, and I can confirm that the only short one is Korey. John is about 5'11", and Seth is probably 6'1"...I was surprised at how tall Jenn was...maybe 5'7".
I'm 5'10, I've seen John and Jenn up close, I could have touched them but the security was in the way. I haven't seen Seth or Korey up close the just seemed short from my perspective.
These guys have been one of my favourite bands since "Best Kept Secret" and this is the first time I've heard John's talking voice. Holy wow, he's way more Southern than I expected and has such a gentle voice for the raw grit he can get singing. By far, he's the most 'normal' and tame rock star I've seen on this channel. It's very adorable that he's such a dad personality too lol :D This solidifies my love for them for sure!
Digital Tour Bus I may have heard it once or twice over the years on radio interviews but for some reason, I've never really watched interviews with the band until now (absurd, I know!). Not sure why, really, cause that even sounds strange coming from myself. Weird.
I think that's cool John and Kory take the kids on tour. That's got to be a cool learning experience for them. I'm a guitarists and my husband my drummer. We would take our 23 yr old son to shows with us and he loved it. Our 12 yr old now asks when she's going to go to shows. So it is definitely a cool experience for the kids.
Dan DeBerry He does really tour much and when he does, I can almost guarantee that we'll get turn down for him. We can try, but it's ultimately up to him.
That is what it looks like when you accept Jesus as your savior. You get filled with an indescribable joy that everyone can see. And make no mistake, Skillet is 100% a christian band.
This was recorded in 2016 and he said he likes to watch news channels. Fast forward to 2020 and I'll be he never puts the news on, all they do is push negativity at us. I quit watching news about 4 months ago and am better for it. Love Skillet, great band with great messages.
Had to come back to this video after my first Skillet show last week. It was fucking incredible and made me feel even more in love with the band. But his genuinely kind and approachable attitude is incredible. Also still amazes me they built the bus themselves haha
I for one have enjoyed this band's music. and Jen as back up singing and mashing drums make for great stuff. you always have a great personality and music is real. keep up the great job. I been listening to Jens new music as well
Digital Tour Bus I saw that Apocalyptica one awhile back,but wanted a updated one. NF stands for Nate Feuerstein a Detroit rapper. NF is his name he uses. you can lok him up under NF to see what music he does
I wish i could do school on the road with my parents who are famous rockstars. it would be awesome. seeing the world, listening to music, and doing school work that is easier than normal school.
That would be cool. I wouldn't say that the school work is "easier" though. If I remember correctly, if you're home-schooled, you have to pass a state-mandated test every year to ensure you're learning the right info and retaining it (kind of like finals). I could be wrong though.
Digital Tour Bus i was home schooled for a year or two and dont remember doing any bug tests but it could be mandatory for older grades as I was in the younger grades then. anyhow. it would still be fun and awesome to see the sights as you travel.
such a dad lol great to see em getting older and like this. knew they did the winterjam fest here in louisville smh and i still never got to see em hopefully one day soon i will.
joshua machado I honestly doubt that's the reason. Obviously, DTB is pretty trustworthy because we've invaded nearly 1,500 vehicles with no problems. There are a LOT of politics being played in the music industry that I don't agree with. I'm just here to film cool videos with bands. :)
Been trying to film with Three Days Grace for years and we get turned down every tour unfortunately. As for Starset, hopefully we'll have something with them soon.
"I was going to blame it on my kids, but our drummer Jen is the biggest Disney fan in the world" 😂😂
:)
They all seem to be children on the inside
Rogue Comedian never said there was anything wrong with it
I agree
Ive watched a lot of these videos and this is by far the nicest man I’ve seen give a tour.
😀
he really does seem like the funniest and friendliest guy, very cool indeed!
Charlie scene was nice, too.
seems way more well behaved than machine gun kelly
Well Skillet is a Christian Metal band
I could really see the passion in his eyes when he proclaimed his love for Dr. Pepper
hehe! :)
Austin Sweers who doesn’t
It's his obsession
@@petonomore9932 ahh now i see why he wrote my obsession XD he likes metal, check he likes DP, check, what a coincidence. i love both too lol.
The cleanest and most organized bus I've seen so far. It's really different when you're touring with family. You naturally make the place homely for the kids😊
😊😊
thats the only bus ive seen that is so clean and pretty
Clean buses are far and few between, but there are definitely a bunch if you dig into Bus Invaders episodes deep enough. :)
its because the presence of girls thats why its clean hehe
It’s cause they’re Christian ain’t it?
Umm, no it’s bc they knew they were gonna film it. That’s why it was clean 🤦♂️
THE BEARD HAS THE POWER
:)
:D
Makes him feel like a monster
lol. I'm eating bread
"Wake up and look pretty..they always look pretty". Good save dude true veteran
Thanks for watching!
That is stupid what you said
I love them.....John is so friendly ♡ all members of skillet are amazing
Definitely!
Took care of these guys last summer when they stayed at the hotel i worked at, from the brief interactions ive had they were all amazingly polite and awesome.
''my wife's not here so i can complain.'' hahahahah :))
nice bus
hehe! :)
löreni zölledöni hehe
Digital Tour Bus skillet
löreni zölledöni you like 30 Seconds to Mars?
After doing a bus invaders marathon I have to say Skillet has the best bus.
This bus is definitely up there as one of the best buses we've had the pleasure of invading. Unlike other bands, Skillet actually owns this bus too, which is pretty sweet!
Skillet been around since 2009 and they still fire till this day
They've actually been around since the mid-90s. Pretty crazy!
@@digitaltourbus Yeah I saw them live at a church shortly after the release of the Invincible album, and they were around before that even. I talked to the guitarist a bit about pedals and gear.
They've been around since 96
Their first album, self-titled Skillet, was released in 1996.
Their album "Awake" (which is probably their most well known album due to songs like Hero, Monster, Awake and Alive, and Lucy being on it, was released in 2009. It was also the first album that Jen played on.

Most people that don’t know them think they are dark and scary because of how they sound on stage but following their amazing career you see how normal and family oriented they are. 👌
That's the best bus I've seen so far
It's a REALLY nice one for sure! :)
John is just to pure and innocent !!! He sounds so happy
:)
You can't watch nothing but the news and be innocent. You have to be calloused. It's who he wants us to think he is.
you are officially a dad if your favorite thing to watch on TV is the news.
hehe!
GerardRockMyWorld and a grandpa if it’s the weather channel
Lol
@@Nightmare77110 lol true true
I've seen skillet live several times and they are really good live. They are also all very short.
They're an awesome band!
Short? You must be very tall. I just hung out with them last month, and I can confirm that the only short one is Korey. John is about 5'11", and Seth is probably 6'1"...I was surprised at how tall Jenn was...maybe 5'7".
I'm 5'10, I've seen John and Jenn up close, I could have touched them but the security was in the way. I haven't seen Seth or Korey up close the just seemed short from my perspective.
Erik Stone John is 6'0
Korey and Jen are short, but John and Seth are taller than me haha. I saw them again earlier this year and I was right on the stage
These guys have been one of my favourite bands since "Best Kept Secret" and this is the first time I've heard John's talking voice. Holy wow, he's way more Southern than I expected and has such a gentle voice for the raw grit he can get singing. By far, he's the most 'normal' and tame rock star I've seen on this channel. It's very adorable that he's such a dad personality too lol :D This solidifies my love for them for sure!
Really, you have never heard his talking voice? That's crazy!
Digital Tour Bus I may have heard it once or twice over the years on radio interviews but for some reason, I've never really watched interviews with the band until now (absurd, I know!). Not sure why, really, cause that even sounds strange coming from myself. Weird.
redraven24 No worries! I'm glad we could be your first experience for an interview with John! :)
Hmm. Where you from? he doesn't sound southern to me at all.
Well, he's from Memphis.
I think that's cool John and Kory take the kids on tour. That's got to be a cool learning experience for them.
I'm a guitarists and my husband my drummer. We would take our 23 yr old son to shows with us and he loved it. Our 12 yr old now asks when she's going to go to shows. So it is definitely a cool experience for the kids.
It definitely is!
this is probably the best bus i have seen
It's definitely one of the nicer ones we've seen!
He watches supernatural!!!! I love this guy even more and he's a beard god
Beard God for sure. :)
Castiel is my favorite character, I wonder what's his favorite character 🤔
I love Skillet
They're awesome!
Skillet is by far my favorite band!! I've seen them three times, I loved every concert!! They know how to put on a show!!
They're great!
Digital Tour Bus absolutely!! 🔥
Skillet takes you on a tour of their tour bus!
Who should we film with next?
eminem!
Dan DeBerry He does really tour much and when he does, I can almost guarantee that we'll get turn down for him. We can try, but it's ultimately up to him.
Digital Tour Bus do you think you can interview Papa Roach the next time they tour (they are not touring right now)
YourFriendVenus Have you seen the videos we already have with Papa Roach?
Digital Tour Bus oh, sorry I'm a new subscriber, I will be sure to watch those videos thx
jesus he's so fucking happy he reminds me of that overly happy neighbor every TV sitcom had but he's actually cool
hehe! :)
He's like Flanders lol
MedicinalDank OG lmao I love John Cooper ♥️
That is what it looks like when you accept Jesus as your savior. You get filled with an indescribable joy that everyone can see. And make no mistake, Skillet is 100% a christian band.
some vocalists singing voices sound completely different from their talking voices lol but not his. pretty kewl
:)
No truer words have ever been spoken lmfao 😂
That beard is out of this world
It's definitely a great beard!
He is such a cool guy. That't why I love them so much. They all are so down to earth, nice and chilled ^^
And the bus is awsome :)
:)
This was recorded in 2016 and he said he likes to watch news channels. Fast forward to 2020 and I'll be he never puts the news on, all they do is push negativity at us. I quit watching news about 4 months ago and am better for it. Love Skillet, great band with great messages.
Thanks for watching!
This is my favorite band!! I would love to see a Rig Rundown with them too.
We'll try to get them for Gear Masters next time around. Hopefully they'll say yes.
Digital Tour Bus I hope it become real!!!
This is the greateat, cleanest bus I’ve seen in this channel, makes me want to be on tour.
hes such a humble guy and nice guy 🤘🔥
Definitely
When John said they watched Supernatural and The Walking Dead I didn't think it was possible but, I loved them even more
😀😀
This bus is definitely a upgrade from their old bus seen in their old podcasts😂 awesome band and awesome bus!
skillet is my fav band. I saw them live at winter jam ( 2015)
Nice!!
John seems like a cool guy.
Most definitely!
nice pfp
YES I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE GONNA DO A SKILLET BUS TOUR!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
:)
Digital Tour Bus Thanks guys!😄👍
Its our resistance, you can't resist us!!!
Thanks for watching
Lol Awkward!!!
Even more reason to love this band.
😀
Saw them in concert 2 days ago, it was amazing.
Glad you had fun!
Had to come back to this video after my first Skillet show last week. It was fucking incredible and made me feel even more in love with the band. But his genuinely kind and approachable attitude is incredible. Also still amazes me they built the bus themselves haha
😀
Skillet is awesome! I'm seeing them in May! Can't wait!
Awesome, have fun! :)
One of the coolest buses I've seen.
Definitely one of the better buses we've ever been on! :)
I for one have enjoyed this band's music. and Jen as back up singing and mashing drums make for great stuff. you always have a great personality and music is real. keep up the great job. I been listening to Jens new music as well
Hope you enjoyed the video!
@@digitaltourbus Oo yeah enjoyed it. they have been in my world for long time and they have come so far.
@@patrickbacus1784 Glad you hear that you liked the video!
Being a neat freak,this is so well kept,well organized.Definitely the coolest bus so far
One of the cleanest buses we've ever seen!
+Digital Tour Bus Are you gonna do a BFMV one?
Need me to get a bus like that for myself to live in when I grow up.
:)
What a wholesome dude / band
😀
He is a awesome guy!!!! Also great band!!!!
Definitely!
my favorite band, thank you
No problem!!
I love skillet so much they're my favorite band
😀
This is my type a dude. Half of the movies on here I own and can't help but feel like I'd be cool to chill with them lol.
:)
AMEN! CANT LIVE WITHOUT DR PEPPER
:)
Same here! And coffee.
so grateful i stumbled upon this what a big soft legend
Love John's leather jacket! I've been looking for a new one and I'm getting some inspiration.
Nice!!
would love to see a NF one and an Apocalyptica one when they possibly hit the US next year for their 20yr metallica 4 cello tour
NF? Not sure what band that's an abbreviation for. We have an Apocalyptica one already though.
Digital Tour Bus I saw that Apocalyptica one awhile back,but wanted a updated one. NF stands for Nate Feuerstein a Detroit rapper. NF is his name he uses. you can lok him up under NF to see what music he does
ArchangelJuicy I'll check into it!
I wish i could do school on the road with my parents who are famous rockstars. it would be awesome. seeing the world, listening to music, and doing school work that is easier than normal school.
That would be cool. I wouldn't say that the school work is "easier" though. If I remember correctly, if you're home-schooled, you have to pass a state-mandated test every year to ensure you're learning the right info and retaining it (kind of like finals). I could be wrong though.
Digital Tour Bus i was home schooled for a year or two and dont remember doing any bug tests but it could be mandatory for older grades as I was in the younger grades then. anyhow. it would still be fun and awesome to see the sights as you travel.
That's a really nice layout for a tour bus. Good interview.
Most definitely. Glad you liked it!
That is such a nice bus thanks for doing it
No problem at all! :)
I've been waiting for this soo long but it's sad that he was alone :(
We leave it up to the bands to decide which members are in the videos.
Digital Tour Bus oh okey thank you ✌
it's was nice too meet them again they or awesome New Mexico all the way
:)
i love you skillet i am your biggest fan
:)
He seems like a really nice person. Good video! :)
He definitely is! :)
love these guys supernatural love skillet for life!!!
:)
Digital Tour Bus yay and thanks for making this I wish I can meet the lead singer to just like you.
Lesley Monckton I know the band does meet & greets before most of their shows. Definitely look into that when they come through your city next! :)
He's awesome.
Definitely!
This is pretty cool big fan of skillet
Really glad you liked the video!
I Love you Skillet
Us too!
Seen these guys live a few times
Always an amazing experience!
Would love to hangout with them!
:)
Dang, Legos and a crap ton of chips....I'd love to tour with them hahahaha
:)
Munchell360 same I think I have found my famous family lol
After him mentioning hus wife throughout the whole video, I remembered that his wife is in the band lol
Hehe
Best band yet! Hopefully you guys do a small town tour soon (: Safford would love to have you guys perform (:
Thanks for watching.
YESS THANK YOU!!!!
:D
Wow,finally a tour bus that's different
This is definitely one of the nicer ones we've been on!
Wait, John Cooper watches supernatural and the walking dead?
:)
bishop baker I freaked out because same!
Bishop Baker he also watches wrestling and criminal minds and me and him and Jen would get along very well
yes weren't you listening lol XD
Makes sense he like horror
Finally!!!!! Although, from this video, i can really tell that their bus has changed. idk, guess im just used to the old skillet bus
They had it remodeled recently to update it and make it a bit more home-y and modern.
Digital Tour Bus that makes way more sense. I just remember how it was in the REALLY old podcasts
If Lego's aren't the most important thing in the world, gtfo.
Thanks for watching.
nice video ! i am so obsessed with this band ❤
They're an awesome band!
This was filmed in Chicago at the Concord Music Hall I saw them play during the time of this recording Sept. 29th
Nice!!
Yep, I was at this show too. I put some video of backstage on my channel. Awesome show!
Erik Stone OMG that's awesome man! You've earned a sub for sure!
BloodlessManx5 haha, yes! Thanks man.
Erik Stone No problem man that's so cool you were able to be around a young John Cooper!
such a dad lol great to see em getting older and like this. knew they did the winterjam fest here in louisville smh and i still never got to see em hopefully one day soon i will.
Thanks for watching!
Skillet and Linkin Park are my favorite bands
Nice!
These vids are great!
So glad you're liking them!
very cool, thanks
No problem!
They made my childhood
😀😀
"news makes me feel comforted." Well... I'm sure the news NOWadays ain't comforting him! LOL
That's one nice tour bus right there
Yup!!
aw hell yeah, they got supernatural!
:D
Like a lot of artists, I'm not a fan of his music at all. But he seems like a genuinely nice person to hang around.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
he was listing movies and I was just WAITING for hi to say supernatural and he did and I FLIPPED
Nice!!
nice!. love this channel
:D
:)
lol i just came here from upon a burning body's bus tour went from rated R to PG reeaaaaall quick XDD
That can happen in this series.
Ever seen the machine gun Kelly one? That was like rated mature
Impecable!❤️
Me encanta! 🔥
Feel invincible is my favorite song from you guys
Thanks for watching Mathew!
This video made me want to be on that bus! Lol.
:)
Do you think you could do a video with Breaking Benjamin when they hit the road?
We've been trying every since they became active again and we've been turned down by their team every tour unfortunately.
Digital Tour Bus darn! why so?? are they too busy?
joshua machado Not sure. We're usually not given a reason. 80-90% of the artists we ask to film with us, turn us down.
Digital Tour Bus maybe they do it for the safety of the artist :)
joshua machado I honestly doubt that's the reason. Obviously, DTB is pretty trustworthy because we've invaded nearly 1,500 vehicles with no problems. There are a LOT of politics being played in the music industry that I don't agree with.
I'm just here to film cool videos with bands. :)
every band bring roadies on a tour
Skillet: Bring Nanies
Appreciate you watching the video.
@@digitaltourbus yeah i tried to watch all the episodes
YO WHAT HE SAID HE LIKED THE SHOW 24??? Oh my god I've never known someone who has liked that show too 😭😭😭 I don't know why that makes me so happy
:)
Dang, that's a huge bus! Lmao XD
Most of these buses are a pretty standard size, but this one had a slide-out in the front, making the front lounge bigger.
I saw you guys at the fon du lac county Fair in Wisconsin today
Hope you had fun!
Thanks for the video. Please make a tour video of Three Days Grace & Starset
Been trying to film with Three Days Grace for years and we get turned down every tour unfortunately. As for Starset, hopefully we'll have something with them soon.
If me and my friends get our band going I'd love to tour with them
😀
