Understood, it's just there's this one dude that thinks we're always friken negative around here even though people's concerns when it comes to this band is valid and they have backed it up with good comparisons and details. People are not negative for the sake of being negative. We all want the band to be as great as we know they can be.jailman wrote:stop the over-prefacing. Just say what u wanna say.

After all, if I was always being negative I wouldn't spend $250.00, buy a flight to Orlando, which is the first flight in 17 years I've been on, for the album listening party, and then fly to Raleigh to see their show two days later.
Anywho, regarding Skillet. I think when they filmed the Comatose Comes Alive set back in 2008 they were playing in a room in Chattanooga, Tennessee (not one of the more popular cities to do a show in) that had like 1,000 people or so. After a couple of good runs of great singles, they did get into tours like Carnival of Madness and Uproar playing with bands like Shinedown and Godsmack and I think they were opening for Nickelback in a couple of arena shows in Europe around that time. I think it may have been around 2016 after they released Unleashed where they can comfortably do standalone tours in the states in solid venues without being on a festival tour (either with Active Rock bands or Christian bands). As I said before, when they came to Anaheim in 2017, they were playing in a room that filled 1,700 people and had Sick Puppies (whose drawing power was not high since they switched singers) as support.
