The music video for monster has 60,000,000+ views since 2009, the band should eventually make it in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Saw this band a couple of weeks ago at Louder than Life fest in Louisville. They played on #2 stage, before Ghost (which I thought was a nice touch).

Must say they had one of the more enjoyable sets that day. Did not know they were a 'Christian' act, as I didn't pick up any of it in their presentation and/or lyrics (maybe I need to listen to the lyrics closer). 2 girls in this band, both kickass performers. One plays guitar & the other beats the hell out of the drums. Not a super-drummer like drummer in Sleater-Kinney, but pretty damned good, IMO.

Has 2 risers that the guitarists would get on & get elevated up 20 feet in air while playing. Hope to see them again sometime.

SKILLET: LIFE IS HARD, BUT YOU CAN BE VICTORIOUS IN THE FIGHT

there's literally no other band like Skillet it touches your heart and soul. Literally these guys deserve it more than any other band

Skillet is an awesome group. They put my 17-year-old on the right path, and he found God just from their music and shows, and of course, him meeting them and being able to talk to them several times. The song Anchor Got me through a really bad time in September of 2019. I had a stroke, and rehabilitation was painful and hard. I would jam to skillet all the way to rehab and Anchor gave me the courage and the strength to push through it all, so I can be close to who I was before, and take care of my family. Skillet will stop and talk with you, and take pictures with you. I have taken my son all over Ohio to see them. Even got pictures when we saw them sitting at their bus. Skillet has a met and greet at every show and a Q and A and they talk with you answer questions take pictures with you, and believe it or not remember several fans when they see them again. They truly care about their fans, and it shows so much, and you feel the love from them. Never ever have I met a music group that met their fans because they really care about them.
