Skillet

[General Zod]

Ah come on, you're gonna tell me you're not a fan of Wok?

Only their earlier work, before they sold out.

Would Dew Scented make your top 5?

Not Top 5, but it's up there.

Give us the other 4 just for fun.

That's a list I'll have to compile when I have a bit more time... but it sounds like fun.

True, but one of those ladies from Skillet might have shoved it up his ass too!

Since the dude went to jail for chasing another dude down the hallway and then stabbing him to death, smart money's on Mr. Vikernes.

Zod, let me take this opportunity to remind you that you like a band called, wait for it......GOATWHORE. What is a Goatwhore...wait, I don't want to know!

Actually, you would not find a Goatwhore CD in my collection.

There are some band names, like Goatwhore, that if you step back and think about them, you realize they're stupid. However, I never really noticed how silly the name is. I simply thought...

1. Goat... symbol for Satan, evil, etc., OK, I get that.
2. Whore... immoral woman, she'd probably sleep with me... I'm on board with that.
3. Goatwhore... yeah, pretty cool name.

However, Skillet? You have to admit, there's no level on which that's anything but retarded.

I dig that song. Didn't know of the band previously. Have to check out some more.

And maybe Freak Kitchen should start a festival. Skillet would be the perfect opening band! If only we could get Spatula to headline!

I disagree. A goatwhore sounds to me like a man or woman (to be politically correct) whom likes to get "freaky" with all kinds of goats! In other words, he/she isn't picky about the goat, just as long it's a goat!

Wouldn't it simply be a slutty goat?

[Stingray11214]

Exactly...

And the irony is, he probably would have actually hit the folks from Skillet with that bat.

Zod

He might get a chance to do just that, Zod. He was released in May. :Smokedev:

you're talking about a whoregoat

 

[DFD260]

I like Skillet. Savior is my favorite song. They will be in Chattanooga Dec. 3.

Nah, he's probably too busy being someone's girlfriend these days. (shrugs)

Finally someone with some good taste! I wouldn't expect anything less from a Tennessee boy though.

In an interview one of the band members said they were at a strip club and a non-attractive stripper approached them. One of the band members said, "Get away from us, you... you... goatwhore!" And bam.

 

[Pellaz]

By the by... if Skillet isn't the dumbest name for a band that ever was, it's definitely Top 5.

No, you're forgetting about.... Well, wait for it.

Would Dew Scented make your top 5?

Odd name for a band, but I like 'em. Sooo, moving right along....

And maybe Freak Kitchen should start a festival. Skillet would be the perfect opening band! If only we could get Spatula to headline!

And let's not forget, also on the bill: Custard. <--- And THAT's my vote for pretty damned sillly bandname.

Oh really? From the accounts I've read, he shouldn't be getting out.

you're talking about a whoregoat

Ahhh...

LOL. Now it all makes sense.

[Palabra de Dios]

Yeah, my post was a flame/joke post. Generic "alternative" rock like any of the late 90s/early 2000s popular bands, only Skillet is a Christian band. And unlike some very cheesy Christian metal it isn't the Christian part I dislike...it's just the sound. Bleh.

Skillet may be a bad name, but heavy metal has some awful names, man. Job for a Cowboy, anyone? That probably tops my list. Along with Iwrestledabearonce, Satan's Almighty Penis (real band name, I promise), Cock and Ball Torture (another real one that I cannot have made up), Circle of Dead Children, and countless other black, death, grindcore, etc., bands that just have stupid names that revolve around the words "goat," "anal," "vomit," and other vulgarities.

Terrible names hurt credibility in most cases.

http://www.dagbladet.no/2009/05/22/nyheter/black_metal/varg_vikernes/6354526/ According to the press report, he is released on parole. He was released on parole on May 22. That picture of him does not exactly look like a prison, unless it has its own shopping mall.

The difference is that those bands don't take themselves seriously. This band obviously takes itself seriously which makes the name 100000 x worse. Musically this band (Skillet) was kinda cool, but the vocals killed it for me.

Nah, he's probably too busy being someone's girlfriend these days. (shrugs)

~Brian~

He has a wife and kids. One of which was conceived while he was in prison. Keep trying though!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Yeah, Varg's out of jail. And happily married. And there's going to be another Burzum album, if he is to be believed about it. A black metal Burzum album at that.

 

[edgeofthorns]

Yeah, my post was a flame/joke post.

See, I know how to take Palabra's posts!

Dude, it's a joke, I don't care about the guy. Thanks for the update though!

[edgeofthorns]

Well, I saw this band last night in Johnson City and they killed, period! Here's a bootleg from last night's show and no I didn't record it! I saw people recording all around me, so I knew that I find one posted and sure enough.

Brian is watching wrestling at this moment and I hear a song being played that I want to know the band behind it. Turns out its Skillet and I remembered this thread. Their song Hero is being used as the theme song for the Royal Rumble.
