FIRST TIME HEARING!!! Skillet - Legendary REACTION & REVIEW!!! Stupid Allergies... 

im slowly watching all 30 of your skillet reactions, glad i can see it unblocked

@@slpreg8214 Awesome. Glad to hear you're enjoying the show. Take your time, they're not going anywhere.

@@THEDavidHeretic yeah i like that u understand music, it isn’t your ordinary reactions. someone who can appreciate the music

Can you do some songs by Parkway Drive Absolute power is great 😊

My guy in this band is john cooper

I think Jen was the last piece that Skillet needed. They hit a new level when they brought her on.

@@Pianomn626 I agree. Her drumming along with her and John's vocals together just kind of created magic. Jen is my favorite musician altogether. I think she has the most beautiful voice in the industry in my opinion. But I love all her stuff with LEDGER. Plus her music helped me through a dark time. So I may be bias lol.

@@boberhavok The tenor of Jen's voice is very distinctive; it has a smooth strength to it. I'd love to have heard her go old school in a duet with Phil Collins...I feel like the blend between Jen and Phil would be staggering. Imagine her voice in "Separate Lives" with Phil's...

@@Pianomn626 I feel like Jen's voice could blend in well with anyone. Besides John Cooper she blended well with another Christian artist named TobyMac and she blended well with the group From Ashes to New in there cover if Gravity. The little bits they sing together in the Skillet song Breaking Free Jen blended well with Lacey Strum too. She sounds amazing regardless if she is singing with someone else or alone.

The dense beard of intensity.

Are you talking about the band Seraph?

@@Cattttt802 haha, yes!!! I’m the bass player from Seraph. 😎

FEELIN' YOU JJK!!! I do my best for you guys and gals, because you all deserve nothing less than the best from me.

@@THEDavidHeretic keep it up, subscribed!

Yeah there's a lot of post-production done, but it was done tastefully. I hate it when albums are SOOOOOO overly produced the instruments all start sounding Pro-Tooled and digital.

@@THEDavidHeretic Absolutely agreed. I'm going to guess based on the grey hair (no offense! I have more than you do!) that we are close to the same age. I majored in music education originally so I've been through all the training, theory, etc, and played for 40 years. Over production, autotune, and the digitization of music, while originally a great TOOL, has become the majority of most music and it's leaving true musicianship out in the cold. I saw Skillet for the first time only about 3 years ago. I was not a metal guy- I'm more into prog rock (show me the KEYBOARDS!)- and I was not familiar with ANY of Skillet's work. By the third song in the set I was really impressed. After the concert I bought four albums and have seen them several times since. If they are metal, I'd call it either an evolved metal or "adult" metal. Since the addition of Jen, their sound has rounded, become more diverse, mature, but still staying true to their roots. Their last album featured more production than the previous ones, but like this song it was tastefully done and used as an ACCENT to the music rather than as the whole song. I enjoyed your breakdown, by the way. You are definitely someone I'd love to sit and have a beer and talk "shop" with.

​@THEDavidHeretic funny enough idk if you will ever see this but they actually rewrote the song like 3 separate times because it didn't have the feeling in it that they wanted.

@@Pianomn626i think they would call it "industrial rock" cause of the use of synths and stutter effects and such . .

Thank you for the kind words Chris I really appreciate them. Really glad you enjoyed the show, hope you check out some of the other shows on this channel. I understand you stopped playing keys 20 years ago, but here's the thing about instruments....they're like bikes. If you learned how to play them once before, you can pick it up again. Yeah it's gonna take some work, but not nearly as much work as it took when you were learning. You just gotta get the muscle memory and the feels back into your fingers. The good news is, you still have time. There's literally nothing stopping you from picking it up again. Totally up to you obviously, personally I'd love to hear that you got inspired by something and decided to get back into it again.

Bro, I've played for 40 years now. Started on piano, switched to a keyboard focus (vs piano) about 25 years ago. It's a joy and a challenge. I truly don't believe there is a more complex part to play in most bands than keys; between layers, patches, effects, tones, and notes. I always tell people I have two parts to play; first, I have to play my parts flawlessly (which, of course, ALWAYS happens :-P ); second, I have to cover the mistakes that every other member of the band is making because oftentimes the keyboard player is the only true musician in the band :-P Get back out there, man! You can take the keys away from you hands, but never out of your soul!

It's definitely got the thickness of a dual rectifier, and the harmonic sensitivity.

Happy Wife = Happy Life

Funny thing is that both Jen and John tried to sabatoge Jen. Kory had to pull 2 teeth for Jen to be in.

Yup it's in the que already

FEELIN' YOU Carlos!!! I've said from day one this channel will always be about honest, genuine reactions. some people like it, some don't. Some can handle the truth, some can't. No matter what, I'll never change who I am or what I do on the channel. Glad you're enjoying the show so far.

I didn't even know.....I received no notification of it getting unblocked.

Concert review coming as soon as we can film it, dealing with some family issues right now but we will get to as soon as possible.

@@THEDavidHeretic Sorry to hear of family troubles. I hope everything works out in the best possible way.

I do my best to see and read all the comments that are made. If your comment gets a heart, that means I read it. Welcome to The Fanbase, glad to have you among us.

@@THEDavidHeretic Thank you for having me!

That's due to her being so young at the time. He originally thought she was 21 but after she got accepted she mentioned that she was turning 18 the following weekend. And he mentioned that if he knew that she was that young he wouldn't have let her audition

.....keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep watching....all I can say.....

Not sure yet there's a few to choose from in the que.

I could definitely add either of those to the que. Which one would you like? And please include a link, so I watch the correct video.

I added both because they both are great songs 😁👍

That'll never happen, I like who I am.

@@THEDavidHeretic Awesome!

Huh?

Holy crap....I read your comment and was like "Who unblocked me?" Dude in all seriousness, I didn't receive a notification or anything....it literally just became unblocked and posted on it's own

Kiss, Soilwork, Motorhead are always going to be my top 3 favorite bands.

@@THEDavidHeretic KISS is really good. Rock and Roll All Nite is a good song.

Love that song, my favorite off that album and from that movie. Don't get me wrong, Princes Of The Universe is a great tune....but Gimmie The Prize is my favorite.

I've already done a reaction to that song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GnJNUc3HegE.html

Thank you. I recommend you the band Whitecross, other old Christian rock band, so good. Songs like In the kingdom, Love Is our weapon, etc ....

Kinda....I did a reaction to the Danny Carey drum cam, but it was really focused on him. I wasn't paying too much attention to the song, I was really focusing my attention on what Danny was doing. Here's a link to the reaction video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v8t08fSpBF0.html

@@THEDavidHeretic ok cool, but yeah the song itself really is pretty amazing, tons of really interesting instrumentals and great guitar work from Adam Jones. But I’ll for sure go check out that reaction to Danny Carey.

Got a song in the pipeline to be filmed, should be coming soon.

You mean "My Demons" by Starset? I found "My Demons", but not "Demons". I just want to make sure I don't add your name to the wrong request.

Yeah that one 👌🏽 and no worries! Thank you David!

@@ArcExiOus Added your name to the list of requesters.

@@THEDavidHeretic thanks David!

It's actually already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon.
