Rituraj Das and Lucy
Collide, Saviour, One Day to Late, Not Going to Die
React to hero by skillet, their drummer has an amazing voice !
and shes cute tough
Jen Ledger is an amazing drummer and vocalist. Should check out her solo stuff under the title of Ledger and the song not dead yet.
Yes, please
Jen Ledger is incredible.
Jen is married to the lead singer i think
Skillet is amazing! Probably their most known song (other than this) is definitely "Hero"
You should also listen to their song "The Resistance" such an awesome song! :)
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 😅
@@stephaniegentryart ALIEN YOUTH!!! 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)
Anyways long story short, thanks for the flashback 😆
@@TheMoosanity awww yay! Glad I could give you some nostalgia to enjoy. And Same I’ve been a fan of theirs since I discovered the song one real thing. And followed them ever since. I’m so proud of them. They have really accomplished a lot
Feel invincible is good too
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.
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
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
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.
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.
I’m pretty sure their singer said that it was inspired by the Hulk. Definitely no Christianity in that
Skillet - Feel Invicible is also very catchy, in a different way :)
You need to hear a Skillet song where Jen Ledger (the drummer) has singing parts, she has a great voice. Songs to check out
Hero
Awake and alive
Rise
The Resistance
The Resistance is SO good!
@@schuylerschultz804 I just made it my ringtone and been humming it for weeks!!
Up
Not gonna die tonight
Or you can just listen to Ledger and hear her be the lead singer.
Give a go to some other bangers from this band like: “Hero”, “Legendary”, “ Whispers in the dark” and a lot more
Mn qka profilna brat
Yavor Georgiev cough cough feel invincible
"The surest way to fall prey to darkness, is to pretend you don't have any." - Me, age 12
My favorite songs of Skillet are “Whispers in the Dark” , “Hero” , “Not Gonna Die” and “Feel Invincible”
what bout comatose or rebirthing?
@@jakubbarica4322 legendary
Jakub Barica Just because these are my faves it doesn’t mean I don’t like the others 🤷🏻♀️
Whispers, A&A, Collide, Forsaken, and Open Wounds I can jam to
Back from the Dead?
If you're going to keep reacting to Skillet...
1. Awake and Alive
2. Whispers in the Dark
3. Comatose
Agree!!! He needs to react to these!!!
The thirst is taking over
Disagree go live free or let me die then can go there gotta get Corey's vocals in there before you move to jen
Whispers in the Dark and Comatose are my favorites!!
Whispers in the dark and those night you mean
Listen to Hero, Feel Invincible, Back From The Dead, Comatose, Rise, Not Gonna Die, Awake and Alive, It's Not Me It's You, The Last Night, all skillet songs
I agree
Back from the dead is a continuation of monster.
Yas REAL PAN HEAD
I've been listening to skillet since collide and I just stopped listening to music as a whole a little after rise dropped, by far my least favorite album of theres. I tried getting back into listening to music but just cant.... still love all there songs though
Easton Tomney also Sick Of It
Skillet is the best emotional band and understanding people's feeling.
React to Awake and alive, ITS ONE THE BEST SONGS I EVER HEARD
For sure one of the best I agree.
Awake and alive or Hero
Yeah
Side note:
There's a continuation of this song. It's called Back From The Dead.
I like this song!!!!
Yeah this is one in a series of music videos that tell a story
@@RichieKBass is there another? After back from the dead i mean?
@@helzacomin5743 I'm pretty sure Awake and Alive follows this story line
This song is SUCH a throwback. I remember they used to play this song as our countdown for junior high Sunday school starting. This was my childhood basically.
Alex: I like this
Me: you're about to.... 😏
John (demon voice): FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!
Alex: 😮
Me: 😂😁💜 yaaaaaas
I must confess that I

For 9/11 you should do
Skillet-Hero
They use real soliders, firefighters and emergency fighters in their Video
They don't use, they praise and show.
Hero
Comatose
That's all I have to say.
...I'll never wake up without an overdose OF YOUUUUUUU.
Don't forget Whispers in the Dark.
Terrify the dark
"Feel Invincible"
"I Want to Live" also
I really like their new stuff, it's under a different band name though. I can never remember it.
God! I love seeing ppl react to this song for the 1st time, its so nice to see them react to it. Especially the "Feel like a monster!" part. And your reaction was GOLD! I loved it.
This was the first Skillet song I heard and it totally made me love the band they’re amazing!!
My first was Hero
FINALLY!
So now, Awake And Alive, Whispers In The Dark, Hero and many others are waiting for your attention!
Red feed the machine
Skillet sick of it
Red darkest part
Fly leaf I’m so sick
Red release the panic
Red perfect life
Skillet rise
Red mystery of you
Red take me over
Red lie to me
Your welcome 🖤
I would add Red - Mystery of You and Breathe Into Me to that list, but your picks are dope!
RED - Take Me Over is a Great song! I would add that to the list to
💖💖💖💖
Red - The Moment We Come Alive
I'd add Red's cover of "Ordinary World". LOVED that!
I second Feed the Machine.
I went to a skillet concert once .......... IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayyyy Skillet! About time, my dude. So get this...the singer, John, was one of my best friends when we were in High School / College, and we even played in a band together for 5 years before he started Skillet. He's a good dude, and you should definitely review more songs by Skillet!!!!
Glad you reacted to Skillet!
Other song should be:
“Comatose”
“Whisper In The Dark”
“The Last Night”
“Hero”
“Not Gonna Die”
P.S. React to “Hush Yael” by Oh Sleeper
What about "I Want To Live"?
Yes to the Hush, Yael! Think he would love the song plus the story attached to it
Zachary Ferguson I feel the same way. He appreciates music and does his research on the songs.
Skillet is best when they contrast between their lead singer and drummer. I suggest “Awake and Alive”, “Not Gonna Die” or “Hero”.
Skillet is best when they rip off Three Days Grace lmao
@@magnuslikestanks6044 the only problem I see with your assumption is that Skillet has been a band longer than 3 Days Grace 🤷🏻♂️
@@XavyDraven I'm not agreeing with the tank lover but i think he means that the making of "monster" was influenced by "animal i have become" by Three Days Grace which is a few years older..🤗
@@XavyDraven Lol Animal I Have Become was released 3 years before Monster
@@magnuslikestanks6044 that's what he was meaning...
SKILLET : FEEL INVINCIBLE
Skillet is my beggining as metalhead and I love when more people listen to them
You need to react to one of their songs where Jen, the drummer, sings more in the song. Love her voice.
I'm not dead yet
Awake and Alive! Jen is super cute too!
Invincible
Bill Lye that’s a good choice too
@@jlm10181978 YT served that one up to me one day and I was hooked, and I still go back to it. I'm far from religious, but hey, the music is great
Skillet- hero
Skillet- whispers in the dark.
For today- fearless
I absolutely love all the positivity you spread!! I have negative thoughts all the time so I absolutely love that you are saying such kind things. Thank you man!!! I love your channel!!!!
Your words always help brother thank you. Great reaction as always and keep staying positive for us!!! Love Skillet
you should do Hero by Skillet next time
the drummer in the band Jen Ledger performes awesomely in that song she has a really nice and beautiful voice
and she is drumming at the same time it's a win win
“hero”, "Feel Invincible & “awake and alive”
Loved your talk after the video, it was something I needed to hear tonight. Thank you again Alex.
Now you have to listen to Skillet's "Back From The Dead"
Skillet : awake and alive & feel invincible
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.
I don't know, I started listening to Rock as a young boy as my dad likes Rock... so yeah.. however I like Skillet.. however they're almost too pop~ish for me now..
@@livedandletdie Yes, some songs are pop-ish but the majority I feel is more of their moderne song are kind alike. But they will always have that feeling like when I used to listen to them years ago.
Same thanks to that SmackDown vs Raw 2010, I thinks I was 9 at the time
@@JZMETALDesu same but I was 7
Thatoneguy 44 me too.
Thanks a ton dude, needed that today! Greetings from switzerland, rock on!
Glad you got to discover this song, its my favorite Skillet song. I liked your reactions.
Jon cooper (lead singer) has a side project. Some parts reminded me slipknot.
Fight the fury - my demons
That whole album is absolutely amazing
few parts? that song is pure rip off of duality and psychoaocial
When Seth said the guitar was too heavy on unleashed, I wanted to go through the screen to slap his stupid ass. There was no guitar at all!!
Skillet - "Not gonna die" its a must for u u will love it...
23peto10 but it has to be the version with the intro!
Gotta say man. Regardless of the music or the reactions or anything, just really appreciate the wishes to let go of crazy livin for a bit and just enjoy some tunes. Lovin the vibes dude, keep it up
Skillet is really underrated
React to Feel Invincible by Skillet!
More Skillet please!
If u liked monster you'll love hero by skillet
Or id say watch scars by i prevail
johnathan cox scars is amazing
I love me some I Prevail. Really like hearing Bow Down and Breaking Down during my workouts. Makes me wanna lift the whole gym!
Oh we have the same music taste bro
I PREVAIL!!!
That last line was just finishing the storyline of the 'monsters' escaping from the lab/morgue, and then the building into the light. So glad you like Skillit, Awake is one of my favorite albums ever.
About time! Thanks and keep more Skillet coming!!!
This band is sick that one deep "monster" is so nice 💪🏼
@CODY ADAMS Back in the day, whenever my friends at church would listen to this, I would mess around and do it with an actual growl. People used to tell me my growls sounded like Corey Taylor. My friend's reactions were priceless. Lol
Madison Morris I did it with an actual growl with my parents in the car one day and they were shook it was so funny 😂
@@finiket5436 😂😂🤘. Growls are always funny around people who never heard metal.
@@MadisonM1996 dude some of Corey talyors growls are brutal as FUCK
Pascal W that’s what happens when you listen to Christin rock band spiritual warfare
You HAVE to watch "Hero". HAVE TO. One of Skillet's bests.
Izumi Shion so trueeeee that and Awake and Alive
your videos have gotten me through some very dark moments in the past week. Keep doing you and THANK YOU!
These guys are like legends!! Their music is awesome!👌🎸
Skillet is sick! You should totally react to The Last Night and Hero by them, sure you'll love
Skillet-Feel Invincible
Should also be on your workout playlist
Thank you for what you said after the song and very cool. And it always helps to know that you're not alone so thank you and we love you too man!
man , i love your insights of the songs and the motivational speeches , this song is all about me , i have that monster fighting inside me everytime
Skillet made another band called Fight the Fury and it hits hard!!
"Skillet" didnt make another band, John Cooper made another band
@@NewHollandTech2021 John and Seth actually, who are both current Skillet members
@@ClikcerProductions i thought Seth was in it, but i wasnt entirely sure
Ledger is the drummers band. They're awesome as well
@@ClikcerProductions yes
Legendary- Skillet!!! It’s one of their newest songs. Check it out man.
Fully agree!
Yes
This is it. This is the song that I first heard by them and the one that got me into the band.
Monster is a timeless classic.
Watching you review theses bands I've listened to for years, brings me back to the first time I heard these songs
DUDE! YOU HAVE TO REACT TO WHISPERS IN THE DARK!!!!!!!!!
Their best song by far (imo)
Jesus Mallen That one gives me chills, and I’ve listened to a thousand times. SO AWESOME.
@@snazzyshoes1911 Same bro, same
I live this song because i can feel the killer in my soul
I'd say its the best song pre jen ledger. She added a great dynamic.
Yaaaasss!! Finally! Love Skillet! Some more really awesome songs by Skillet are
Feel Invincible
Legendary
Whispers In the Dark
This is the kind of positive energy I need. I’m always saying I’m an idiot and I don’t know anything, but you’re right, screw that. We do need to be more positive. Thank you so much!😁🤗
Alex you are a champion of positivity and that’s way your loved and you’re amazing! . Love you man bloody legend.
Your work brings both joy and excitement every time. Keep it up legend you are fucking awesome .
React to "Feel Invincible" by this band. It is AMAZING.
Their worst really?
@@sagichicurel1439 it's definitely not their worst but there are better ones for sure
I'm with you Brad, one of my favorites!
Anything after awake and alive is garbage. Rise has a few good songs... that whole invincible album is straight trash. I used to love skillet but songs like feel invincible and sick of it have made me really despise them... their new sound is more techno and dubstep rather than rock. Straight garbage. Collide is their best album followed by comatose
@@seraphim877 Dude, you and I have the exact same opinion. You've got good taste.
Yay finally Skillet is my all time favorite band! Please react to more Skillet.
They are AMAZING live! I had heard them before but really fell in love when we saw them live in 2018. My 8 year old son and I have been huge fans ever since and we've seen them 4 times now!
Dope video and loved your humility and openness bro. Much love!!
You should check out Skillet - Back From the Dead. It's a sequel to this song🤘🏻🤘🏻
Whispers in the Dark and Awake and Alive are 2 of my favorites by Skillet.
I love that so many of these channels listen to Monster as their first Skillet song because it was the same song that Introduced me to the band and it's been my favorite song since.
Hi, i have just find this Video of you reacting to this song, and i loved the way you just analyzed the lyrics.
You got a New subscription. Keep up the good work.
Mathyas Basualdo welcome to the family!! ❤️🤘🏼 stoked to have you
Skillet: part two monster is Back from the dead ,Not gonna die, I want to live, Awake and alive
Omg YESSSSSSSS PLZ react to these Alex
And sick of it
Story from Monster video continue in Skillet-Back from the dead video.
Yes
Fantastic commentary on the end man. Love the message.
So damn glad I discovered you a bit ago, really. Love the positivity, honesty and your reactions. Keep it up
React to "Whispers in the dark" and "Not gonna die"!!!
Don’t forget sick of it and feel invincible
Yes! Whispers in the dark
And comatose
You'll really like Hero by Skillet...showcases the drummers vocals as well...she's dope, and easy on the eyes😎
You sir just brought back a lot of good memories from my second and third grade. Thank you.
Dude, you just saved me kind of right now with what you said after the song. Been thinking too much lately. So huge thanks ❤️
@Lara Mex , we love you girl!
@@adamfike9730 Sorry for the late respond. Thank you
@@FreozenTears glad you're good, shaw-tay
Try Hero by Skillet. It was the first song i heard from them and it's still my favorite!
Dude, you HAVE TO react to
*SKILLET - HERO*
I always love hearing your take on songs!
This was the song that got me into this genre of music. It was the very first rock/metal song I had heard and I had a huge grin on my face this entire video remembering my first time hearing it and loving that he was loving it.
Strongly recommend "Comatose" by Skillet!
And of course, SYMPHONY X - THE ODYSSEY.
There is a couple really good songs by Skillet besides Monster. Comatose, Hero, but my absolute favorite Skillet song is Sick Of It
Forgot about Circus For A Psycho and Rise. Both really good songs
Not gonna die is awesome!!
Symphony X!
@@jeepnut1 INDEED! I've been commenting with "The Odyssey" on every single video since forever, but nobody ever see or upvote the comment ahahah.
You gotta do hero, the drummer does backup vocals!
I had the pleasure of going to one of their concerts and they are just as good live as they are in studio
Alex, I'm high off my @$$ right now man. Just remembered, I saw Skillet live here in Dallas a long time ago, right when the Rise album came out. They are CRAZY live. They put on a show man
Been hearing this song for a DECADE and still for some reason I felt like it was my first time hearing it again !
Breaking Benjamin- Angels fall
CODY ADAMS Both "Evil Angel" and "Angels Fall" are great
One of the first skillet songs I heard and it became my favourite instantly 😁
