Artist of the Year nominee Skillet's explosive 2006 Lava/Atlantic/Ardent/INO Records GRAMMY-nominated release, Comatose follows 2004's Collide, which launched the group into the public eye and garnered the band their first prestigious Grammy nomination. A critical fave, Comatose has become their best-selling project to date, doubling the sales of Collide in half the time. In follow up to packed out headline club shows, a tour with Flyleaf, and summer festivals Skillet spent last fall opening for mainstream rockers Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace. In the process of becoming one of the hardest working, most rocking, and broadly appealing acts of its generation, radio welcomed Comatose with open arms, as the first single, "Rebirthing" spent seven-weeks at No.1 on Christian Rock. Their second single, "The Last Night," also took the top spot, this time at both Rock and CHR (CRW/R&R), while their latest singles, "The Older I Get" (CHR/Rock) and "Comatose," which received a 2008 GMA Dove Award for "Rock Song of the Year," have become their third and fourth consecutive No. 1 singles. At the end of 2007 the band was lauded with R&R's No. 1 Christian CHR Song of the Year for "The Last Night", which was also R&R's No. 2 Christian Rock song of the year. In addition, Skillet was named 2007s No. 2 top artist on both the CHR and ROCK year end lists.

Don't let what people say about your signing (or not signing) autographs get you down. As humans, we all have our "not so Christian" moments (such as the people who are complaining). I pray for forgiveness from both God and the people that I have offended when I have those moments. Praise God for forgiveness, or I would be toast!
I just can't get over how awesome your music is... I normally listen to a variety of music during the day but for the last few days I've been on a skillet high or something. I really love the fact you put strings into your music especially the cello. That's tight! Its awesome. I hear something new in the music every time I listen to it. :)

His anger and bitterness are like a cancerous growth that wont easily be gotten rid of! He had so much going for him and he made some really bad choices that affected himself and everyone around him. Now he just has a tougher road ahead of him.And his whole family beside him everystep of the way! He wants to do better. He wants to feel better.His heart is good,I know it is because he is my son and I love him with all of my heart!Please pray for him.Pray with me for him.
And please repost this and put us in your prayer box at you church!Thank you !I love you,Leila
hey, i went to the Unity Festival concert in Muskegon, MI on 8/8 and John did a crowd-cam video, and said it would be up that weekend. I'm wondering... when will it be put up?
I just want to say in response to your video about why you guys can't always sign autographs that I love you guys, and i hold nothing against you for the times that you don't do signings. I've seen you guys at Kingdom Bound every year since '02, so I have definitely been able to get some stuff signed. You guys are more important to me to get bent out of shape about not getting an autograph, you guys are my heroes, and your music and ministry has probably saved my life and kept me close to God in times when I feel hopeless and lost. I thank you for that deeply, and would have loved to tell you that in person at KB.
And John, I have commented this before, THANK YOU for signing my Traben Pheonix at KB, and I thank your crew guy for taking it back to you.
hay u guys rocked da world pulse festival!!!! but when i got on their website to c the video thay only show the first two groups so u guys and toby mac arent even in it help me out
I'm looking for stuff that is unique, edgy and all-around trend-setting. If you feel like you have any of those qualities to your music then you could possibly be an artist that we're looking for.
