    I heard Skillet live once at a metal show. They were opening for a band I was actually there to see.

    I didn’t realize they were a “Christian Metal” band until halfway through, when I turned to my buddy and was like:

    Jesus, these guys suck.

    And they did. They really did suck. Their music is mediocre at best, and their on stage presence was atrocious. He kept trying to whip the guitar around as some flashy on stage thing; but he smacked himself in the face with the guitar, and then tried to recover by laughing it off, while everyone was cringing.

    Just, imagine for a moment, a band full of people, who are trying to imitate a band type that they can’t ever actually become, and it’s like…well, it’s like the Reagan movie that just got released.

    So much cringe.
