I like it the way it is in the pic at the top of this forum, looks really cool that way.

** Purg **

Actually its sort of shaved now... Ill show you when I get my Pics...

Oh man, I gotta see that! Dont ever recall him having a shaved hair cut, haha

** Purg **

i really like his hair above this thread. very nice! still I think he should dye it black, with some hi lights or something!! ;D

I wouldn't say it's 'shaved.' It's just really short. It looks really nice.

I can't really imagine him with short hair...

Can't wait to see it.

Actually its sort of shaved now... Ill show you when I get my Pics...


Say what? I wouldn't call that shaved. :-

From Yesterday:

It looks good.

it did look sorter and different at the allentown show. it was weird/cool. idon't know how to describe it

Very, very nice picture Robyn.

Very, very nice picture Robyn.


ThanksverymuchRach. :)

The lighting on John at that show was just excellent.

Looks like the lighting was just nice period. It's always nice when it's lit well.

It's always nice when it's lit well.


Amen.

John has the type of face where he can do whatever with his hair and he still looks cool. Which is a awesome trait to have. Unless he went with a mohawk........*cringes at the thought* haha

** Purg **

Unless he went with a mohawk........*cringes at the thought* haha

Imagine all of the girls who think he's the 'hottest' person when you think/say that. :)

All the gals that think he is hot and stuff need to remember he is married. How many girls would go up to him with Korey around and say "Oh man, you are like soooooo hot". In that same sense, I would hope nobody would do it away from her.

Iwasjustsayin'. :P meanie. ;)

Meeeee?? mean?? Never, no way. Its cool if you think he is hot, nothing wrong with that. I myself dont think he is, but then again I am a guy so I would hope not ;)

yeah, random comments like that get old...fast.

*that is my only warning to those who wish to carry on topics like that about any band member, your post won't be around for too long.*

whatever john does with his hair is fine. (mohawk...ok, so maybe i would say something then.) but hey, if korey likes it - then awesome. her opinion is the only one that really counts.

I wasn't saying that I think he's hot. I think he's a excellent man of God and that's about it. :P

*thanks for the warning Tracy*

Besides, it's his hair. :P Let him do want Korey wants him to. ;)

*thanks for the warning Tracy*


your welcome. it's the least i could do. ;)

I definitely dig this more than the pics that were out from the New Year's thing. When I think about how it was.... I shuddered. Much cooler now.

*thanks for the warning Tracy*


your welcome. it's the least i could do. ;)


It's only 'cause you love me. :) (you do...right? ;))

I think he should die his hair to purpal since thats his favriot collor and he has purple on his bass so that will look cool.

I think he can do whatever he wants with his hair. It's not my hair, so I won't tell him what to do with it. *shrugs* But mohawks rock!

can we change the topic to something diff then hair? come on there is more about John then hair...

The shirt he wore in the photo shoot was the one he wore about 2 and a half years ago to the Albemarle, NC show. How's that for a subject change?

okay... dropped the poll from the thread. :)

Thanks Will... John is awesome when he preaches.. when they come back around to Ny. im going to get my non saved friends to go cuz i know somehow someway John cant play at a concert and not preach...

okay... dropped the poll from the thread. :)


Thank you!!

Will is nice....... now back to John

John also is a very good preacher, he can say more in 5 minutes to convict my heart and get me going then my pastor can in the 35 minutes he stands in front of the church and preaches.


** Purg **

He needs to get rid of the pink flamey car shirt. :)

Yes for sure, burn it at the stake! haha

** Purg **

You know what that shirt goes with?

A can of gasoline and a couple matches. ;)

As well as the purple camo pants.. ;)

yeah he is awesome at preaching. i found out that kor and john are uth leaders at there church..

At their church..? Cool...

Yeah and they make awesome uth leaders...

yes, I bet they do make awesome youth leaders. :)

Yeah they doooo

Oooh.... Perfect youth service with them imagined. :)

[glow=red,2,300]They arent full time though, right? There has to be back up leaders cause they stay busy.


** Purg **[glow]

idk.. i think they would have backup..

They have to tour. So, no they probably aren't full time. :)

I figured it, but I had to go ahead and ask a dumb question cause thats who I am.

** Purg **

We figured that. ;)

wow, that would be cool. and veru crazy. i am sure they arn't full time though, if so. wow, that would be difficult.

Wouldnt it be cool for your sunday school lesson to be featured in rock format with your youth leaders teaching through whining guitar and rough vocals. ;)

** Purg **

o i know. that would rock so hard!

I remember one time at Atlanta Fest, John got on to somebody in the crowd for acting like they was bowing down to his guitar. He was like, "Thats not funny guys". I really gained alot of respect for him that day, John is really good at goofing off but he knows when to draw the line.

** Purg **

oh yeah he does know when to draw the lines..

way to go John! :) keeping our eyes where they should be - on Jesus. not idolizing the band nor their gear.

Yeah for real, John is not only a good preacher but also a good comedian at times..............notice I said "at times" ;)

** Purg **

hhaha Yeah hes realy funny. At DollyWood he said he whould 70 years old and still will be rocking out on stage.

He will be wheeled out in a wheel chair with a soundtrack of the acoustic version of "Alien Youth" starting to play.

** Purg **

lol!

Haha, they would more then likely pause the soundtrack every 10 seconds or so where he could wheel over to the other side of the stage and catch his breath at the same time. ;)

** Purg **

People like that just rock when they say they're going to rock for a LONG time. ;)

I can imagine him doing that too.

I bet his daughter will be musical. ;D

Skillet will be the Petra of our generation.

** Purg **

oh yeah alex will be musical. it runs in koreys fam that i know of...

We might even see her in Skillet in about 18 or 19 more years.

** Purg **

not that long.. maybe 13 ...

How old is she?

** Purg **

She'll be one in October. :)

WOW, Alex, i thought she was born like.. like yesterday!

Uhmm... no. She wasn't born yesterday. Or last week. Or last month. Last October. And she looks like John. ;)

nope almost one,... she is so cute!

Did you see the picture of her on Skillet.org (http://www.skillet.org)? She's so cute!

She really is a cute baby, she sure has grown alot since the first baby pictures.

** Purg **

yeah, she is really cute and really well behaved (based on what i have heard and seen).

I've seen pictures. She's a real cutie. :)And She'll proabably be a very talented musician, looking at her family...

yeah, she is really cute and really well behaved (based on what i have heard and seen).She is a wonderfully well behaved baby. I may not have been able to spend much time around her, but the time that I have, I have never seen or heard her fussing or being mis-behaved.

Wonder if John sings her to sleep with a nice little nighty night song like "Kill Me, Heal Me" or "Eating Me Away". haha

** Purg **

John knows nice baby songs as well Silly. And it is quite precious when he breaks out into them. :)

I bet it is, I use to put "Come My Way" on repeat before I went to bed, it carried me right to sleep cause its so nice and calm....peaceful.

** Purg **

John knows nice baby songs as well Silly. And it is quite precious when he breaks out into them. :)

Ooo...it would be. :)

Korey sings very nice as well, so she gets some of the best singin around.

** Purg **

i Sleep to will u be there when i go to sleep every night!! Over and over!!!

Thats a awesome song also, SKillet has some awesome "go to sleep" songs. Not saying they are boring, im saying they are just so peaceful and calm that it helps ya to go to sleep.

** Purg **

yeah, the soft songs are good to go to sleep to, but i've gone to sleep to Kill Me, Heal Me in the past as well. ;) you just never know. maybe it's something about John's voice. :D haha!

The only way I could sleep through Kill Me Heal Me is if someone had already knocked me out. haha

** Purg **

Carry a laptop with ya so you can show John how to get on the board and talk to us crazah people. ;)

** Purg **

LOL!!! I mean...lol! NAW just kidding.

haha, who else is gonna be at the show with Skillet?

** Purg **

gotta keep john's thread alive.

last time i saw them, john was talking about some druggie he met at the mall once (he was asking john for some drugs haha), and so JOhn was talking to him about God, and the guys told him he was a christian, and John's like "I was so mad, I kicked him" (something along those lines) and then he's like "and these shoes can hurt! looke at these things" and he put his foot out, to show the crowd, but he stuck his foot right in my face, and about kicked me, I had to back up. It was kinda funny, I don't think he knew he almost kicked me though....


anyhow, that was my way of keeping this thread alive...post on

Hey any 1 have and good pictures of John Coopers ears pierced ?

Hey any 1 have and good pictures of John Coopers ears pierced ?


You mean like the "ardent worship" cover?

i wonder does he still got his nose pierced? last time i saw him he did in aug..

i wonder does he still got his nose pierced? last time i saw him he did in aug..


Yes, he does.

Awesome... ;D

knowing john, it'll be there awhile. i'm actually used to seeing it there.

lol thats funny ;D

does anyone know where john got his awesome black jacket in the savior music video? I have been looking for it everywhere.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2369748959&category=47 13 for any one who h as the money but its only 4 string tho so

very nice...

i'd look into that if i played the bass. :)

Ya know what's kinda weird? Remeber that pic of Skillet in the blue elevtor (Alien Youth pic) with John in that awesome flame shirt? Well, I have only seen like 2 pics of him wearing at only ONE concert. Have you guys seen any other good ics of him with that shirt on when he had that spikey hair form the early Alien Youth days/Invincible days? 'Cause this pic that I've attached has it when he was growing his hair out (around the time of the Alien Youth DVD).

yeah he got that shirt from hot topic the dont sell it any more i found it on e-bay long itme ago and that should have bid for it lol even tho its a large i wera xl haha but i do fit into large as well so yeah its sad teh dont sell that in store

I have that shirt....except with blue flames instead of red.

Yeah, I have similar to it also. Though the flames have glitter on it, and there aren't flames coming up the sleeves. But hey, I'm satisfied :)

John is like the only guy that can pull that shirt off I believe, any other guy in it including myself would just look gay........literally. LoL John looks cool in it, dont get me wrong. It just seems more made for a girl to me.

lol, I know exactly what ya mean. But, it seems alot of panheads (also containg me :)) like to dress like Skillet. And that's cool. I mean, like how they used to dress in the Alien Youth days - black, flames, etc. And SO MANY people judge by how you look, even before looking insdie your heart. If people could onlu take a glance what's inside, they'd besurpirsed there's alot of misread people! Know what I mean??

A couple of years ago, when Skillet's Alien Youth came out, I had a pic of them on my folder at school. And all my peers saw their clothes and just downed them. Thought they were devil worshippers and stuff. That made me so mad. But I just let it go. A few days ago, I let those few listen to SKillet's new album, and they LOVED IT!!! Made me feel so good inside.

Thats awesome! Yeah, people are quick to judge who and what you are by the cloths on your back........its sad but true.

man, it's weird to see john w/ that type of clothes and his hair like that, i was like "man, he rocked in those clothes, but i like the new look better". Maybe cuz it feels more like I can relate to him more w/out the rockstar clothes. Or maybe I'm just used to the new look now....pry both. Don't get me wrong though, I still like the invincible days look...

It is weird seeing Him like that. I love the look he has on the invincible cover, but the look he's got now is just more mature and just maybe Ben won't slip as much when John flings his sweat lol.

maybe Ben won't slip as much when John flings his sweat lol.


LOL!! People up at the front of the stage were getting a free shower at the concert I went to last summer!!! ;D

Eeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

This is an old picture of john durin the hey you days.. now for the life of me.. I knew he played this instrument.. but when did he use it in skillet? lol
http://www.holifieldweb.net/tempfolder/s4.jpg

He did a solo-type thing with it...he didn't actually play it during a skillet song.

In the recording I have from the HYILYS era....they played Deeper, then Ken did a guitar solo...and then John whipped out the trombone for a little solo of his own.

John claims he got the idea to do it because that was the time when Ska music was really big and, well, it was getting to the point when there were just so many Ska bands that many of them were just copycats and not very good musicians at all...so Cooper decided that (after 3 years playing the trombone in marching band) that he would give playing the trombone on stage a try. I guess he just figured, Why not? ;)

that's hilarious! :D it would be so hilarious if he wipped that bad boy out during a concert. especially with their newer stuff. ;D i know i wouldn't be able to keep a straight face for at least 10 minutes.

That would be pretty classic. ;)

Yeah like suddenly Savior Gets a new Ska twist.. ha ha

Hey Skilletgirl, is there anyway you can repost or find that pic of John with his trumpet, 'cause I can't see it anymore. *tear*

try going to the website at http://www.holifieldweb.net/tempfolder/s4.jpg

Nope, that doesn't work (at least it came up for me as 'ERROR, this page is forbidden').

how odd, it still works for me. hmm. well here it is again. :)

This one's a bit better..

LOL

Thankx so much guys, I'll post them on my new Skillet fansite for all to see. :D

By the way, I don't quite understand the "One of these things is not like the other..." comment on the last pic of John w/ the trombone....Can someone explain that, if it's not too much trouble....?

all the rest of the instruments look like they belong in a rock band, the trombone or whatever it is doesnt. at least thats the way i understand it...

Uh....John got his hair cut pretty short in April and has been keeping it that way since.

Not *quite* as short as it looks in that pic though (but then again...I don't think that's the Coop either.)

I believe that its Philip & Natalie La Rue.


i believe that you are right. altho, i have to say that Philip looks really different without his curly locks.

He looks tougher..lol.. I must say I have a thing for long curly hair thou...lol

I liked Johns hair when it was a little longer.. *sigh* justa little..lol

I emailed JFH to be sure.

Y'all got it right...it's the La Rues.

I liked Johns hair when it was a little longer.. *sigh* justa little..lol


ME TOO! ;D

yeah.. my favorite hair sytle of his.. was on the invicible stage.. the cover of the cd.. it likes soo cool.

Okay guys, I found this picture of John and it just, well, scared me. It looks like something my dad would wear! :o I just....don't know what to say.

Your Pops must be totally with it! I bet he's got some style.

wow, what was up w/ john that day?! Maybe all his shirts were dirty and nasty, so he borrowed a shirt from someone and that's what he got. That is so totally diff from invinicible days.

:-\ *scratches head* whats so wrong w/ that shirt?

notice, he's playing acoustic guitar, maybe it's from before skillet? ???

nah thats from now. but are u sure thats an acoustic guitar & not his reg. bass?

notice, he's playing acoustic guitar, maybe it's from before skillet? ???
It's at the 2003 GMA's....it's less than a year old.

That shirt is so not John...the buttons...the collar....looks like he's going to the office.

:-\ *scratches head* whats so wrong w/ that shirt?

nothing really, just never seen john in a shirt like that

nah thats from now. but are u sure thats an acoustic guitar & not his reg. bass?
Yes, it's an acoustic.

It's at the 2003 GMA's....it's less than a year old.
did John have to wear that for the GMAs? otherwise i am totally confused. ??? i know i wouldn't wear a shirt like that unless i had to. :P

Wow... That does not look like a shirt John would normally wear...

i think thats an older picture.... look, no nose stud

i think thats an older picture.... look, no nose stud
John didn't get his nose pierced until May. The GMA's are in April.

I'm surprised there's no ruffles on that shirt or something lol. I hope the parenting isn't making him feel old. :o

lol....wow.... where do you guys get such um... precise.... information jeez... makin me feel stupid lol

lol....wow.... where do you guys get such um... precise.... information jeez... makin me feel stupid lol

I saw Skillet's showcase during GMA week in April.

And I saw Skillet in May a couple days after John got his nose done.

^awesomeness!!!! I'll be seeing 'em in exactly two weeks!!! YAY!! :grin:

that would explain some things lol

Just wanted to wish a quick Happy 7th Anniversary to John and Korey! :)

Wait, John got a nose job? lol I didnt hear that.

at first I didnt like it.. I guess I dont like the bar he had.

noooooo lol...john's not michale jackson...he got a nose stud


yeah, I noticed that. ;D

Johns clothinging some of it like 1 pair where he get his jeans from is a store that i sujest none of oyu lookign at hehe its preety bad the guys who model for there clothes are hmmm strange guys

{now I'm trying to find pics of him wearing jeans and looking at his back pocketish (for the tag thingy)}

ya know I know exactly what u are talking about. my mom doesnt like skillet cuz the way they dress. If she just took a minute to see who they really are. B elievers in Christ thats fro sure.

heheh i found these jeans these so look like what john cooper whould wear

ya know those actully do look like something he would wear. and back to the judging skillet thig when one of my friends saw my skillet posters she said" why do you listen to them?(points to John and Ben) they're ugly!" and then another friend saw the Alien Youth and Invincable covers and asked(pointing to John)"Is he gay?" but then again she is a Goth so I can see how she would think that. not really.

John cooper is not gay. ok i was talking to this girl onlien and i asked her if she liekd skillet and she said no and that John person is so gay and i saw him making out with another guy ata concert. ok since he's married to Korey cooper and has a daughter which is so cute.

Well some people don't take the time to discover the inside and only judge by the outside.

yeah, that's sad. but what are ya gonna do? people tend to judge by appearance (we all have at one time or another), and hey, not everyone is gonna like ya. so oh well.

(well, some peope try to find anything, even labels, to come up with an excuse for being as judgemental as they truly are.)

Just the fact that John is so on fire for Christ makes it all the more enjoyable to listen to their music. And yes, I posted that to stay on topic, as well as to support my own opinion ;D

Skillet has such a good inside and a heart for God, that's what made me love them first.. the heavyness and crazyness of the music in AY just is a way of expressing it and it's the best way.. especially around non christian friends

YEAHHRR Right on yo

john is such a dork! (in a good way) my friend was at the cornerstone concert where he jumped off the stage onto those people. she then said that some guy came out on the stage and said 'no body surfing' and pointed to the sign and john was like 'good thing no one's doing that!' lol.... john rocks!

Hahahahahaahahah that is hilarious. did he liek point at John after he pointed at the sign or what. cuz that is just funny

well she just said that he jumped into the crowd,not that he was surfing so he could have been following the rules. where's Cornerstone?
BarlowgIRL

illinois.... i think he was trying to bodysurf... he explained it in the newsletter... yes. lol

illinois.... i think he was trying to bodysurf... he explained it in the newsletter... yes. lol
haha. I know John is sucha dork. He is so funny tho. He's my hero. Isnt cs in indiana too?

i think there's 3 of them... john's awesome but ben is my hero.... lol.

oh cuz I thought there was one in illionos (I dont know how to s[pell that) and indiana. where would the other one be. IDK im getting confused here.

There's 3 Cornerstones:

The main one in Bushnell, IL...

And two smaller ones in Orlando, FL and Elon, NC.

Yuppers.

That was so funny... but those poor, unsuspecting people in the crowd ::]

ya I hope none got hurt.
BarlowgIRL

ya I hope none got hurt.
BarlowgIRL

I'm pretty sure the only thing that got hurt was Coop's pride. ;)

That I am sure of ;)

hooh yeah!;)I wonder wot Korey thinx of that.
BarlowgIRL

haha yeah. Well I hope it was fun for him.

if it wasn't he can blame the fans.or the guy who told him to stop.

i talked with lori before a concert a few days later and when my friend mentioned that she had been at cornerstone (IL) she started laughing and asked if my friend had seen john jump off the stage. it was pretty funny!

HAHAHA I woul dhave cracked up. did lori say anything?

oh wait nvm i got that post nvm. im stupid

lol... i was confuzzed at first about what you were talking about.

lol... i was confuzzed at first about what you were talking about.
Yeah sorry bout that. Im really dumb sumtimes

I just bought the Alien Youth UnPlugged Invasion DVD, and I watched the bible study on there, and it sounded like John had an England accent. Has anyone else noticed that? Or is it just some other accent that sounds like an england one? He sure has some kind of accent, and I wasn't aware that he lived in England at all..

i've heard people ask him if he is from england or australia. i think it's just a southern accent...since he wasn't born in england nor australia. *shrugs*

It's a Memphis accent. A very unique Memphis accent.

Back to what you guys and gals where saying about John jumping off the stage. Man I wish I was at that concert thats crazy. At KB there is no body surfing or moshing nothing and it kinda blows but I guess it is for our own safety. But to see John jump of the stage I would pay extra to see that. And on a more serious not Johns lyrics are the reason why I listen to Skillet. Just listening to the CD you can tell that John has a real passion for God and that he wants to express himself and tell the world about Gods love. I think he is an amazing person who has an incredible gift for writing about God and, im speechless because Skillets music is the best thing that has happened in my life and I am sure it is the same for some of you other skillet fans and I thank God every day for creating such amazing people like John, Korey, Ben and Lori.
I always write way to much so I think I will will finish this post.
Darlene ;)

i love john's voice. it's so cool and sorta scratchy. the first time i saw him he just looked like a nice person.he seems like a big brother figure.... lol. i don't know how to describe it. he's just a sweet, caring person that cares about everyone.

i know skillet...they go to my church and they DEFIDENTALLY are really great people.

and john is a dork :-D

What church do u go too? j/c its not liek im gunna go there and be liek omg i love u guys. im not that kind aperson who would do that. I dont think.
but yeah John seems liek he would be a bigf dork.

He may be a dork but he seems like a really sweet, caring guy who loves what he does.

the oteher day i saw skillet, the place they played at, the ceilings were really low. Half way through the concert John was like "I'm scared if I jump too much, I'm gunna hit my head." So my friend yelled out "go body surfing John" but he didn't hear, so I yelled it. John looked over at me w/ this mean look and said something like "security, watch out for this girl"
John's so fun to make fun of

ooh that's so cool!

haha gotta love John

What church do u go too? j/c its not liek im gunna go there and be liek omg i love u guys. im not that kind aperson who would do that. I dont think.
but yeah John seems liek he would be a bigf dork.

I go to Living Light Christian Church in Kenosha.

i've been past there before... heh... the closest i got to it.

Dont let it die...any way I think John is Awesome
so i just thought id make a thread about him...

john is a very cool and funny guy... i love it when he makes jokes, it makes me laugh

Me tooo...One thing I love about Korey is that she's hott-Mr John Cooper
hahah I love him

I love John... hes awesome

john is awesome. unfortunately, he never told any jokes when i saw skillet in concert. *sniff*

john- hes so awesome ;D

John L. Coopar. is amazing. plus he has one cut kid. *thinks..I wonder if he will have two cute kids* <--lol at that.

John is so awesome. I think he really handles concerts well. One time that I went to a skillet concert Lori wasn't feeling good, but he still handled it really good, and actually made some jokes about it which were funny. He's a great guy. :)

Yeah John can tell really funny jokes...he can handle shows well tooo yes i agree

he also has a very broad vocal range.

What about how freaking awesome he is on the bass despite the fact he hasn't been playing that long?

well, he played guitar before. that mat have helped.

He hasn't played bass for that long? How many years? ....I know he's played ever since their 1st album, selftitled, came out. That's been a while!

Well even if hes been playin for a long time he still is frikkin awesome on that thing...

he says in his video bio that he hasn't been playing bass that long.

He said he started playing piano when he was 5...that's probably why he's so good. he said he started guitar when he was 18 and then bass right after that...and i think he was just 21 when the first cd came out

Maybe at the max 9-10 years. If you think about it isn't a long time. I know people that have been playing guitar for 30 years. And him playing piano at an early age might have been a factor..or another factor could be that he's a quick learner. Ie I forgot what band, but they were looking for a drummer, the ended up auditioning their bassist. <-- which is a different story. So, I'll zip it.

it would be weird if john played guitar instead of bass in concert.

it would... but still, he did play guitar on the unplugged dvd and it was good... i just miss the green stripes

he did huh? cool. well, i never got to see the unplugged invasion dvd.

I just got it a week ago...U can order it at the ardent store online.
I lost the link crap...Oh well..Its my favorite dvd tho

Awesomeness!!

it is a good dvd.. i like the end, after the last song where they show everyone goofing around and making faces and all... it's cool!

Your local Christian bookstore might have the DVD.

no, not my christian bookstore. my bookstore has something against hard rock. lol

WOAH THATS CRAZY.. Hard rock is the best thing in christian music
haha. Yeah the ending is awesome. I love the bible study its really cool

I'll have to watch it [dvd] again.

I'm a n00b here, but I've been a panhead for years... and I can't for the life of me remember where John Cooper is from... if you could tell me, that'd be great. :-)

he's in both. you only get glimpses of our beloved Will in concert, but the study you even get to hear him ask a question. :o ;)

and metalhack, John is from Nashville originally. :) (btw, i merged your thread with this one 'cause it fits so well! want to keep down the clutter so people can find things easily and all...)

Ha, thanks tons. I thought it was Nashville, but my sister was trying to convince me otherwise. :)

John is from Wisconsin, but not originally.

I thought he was from Memphis orriginally. Is will the one who asks john that question about the divorce or is he the other dude

divorce? what? John is from Memphis.

One of the things I have to laugh is how much he has changed since the first cd. I mean by looks. Then his funny jokes. Oh John Cooper is rocking awesome dude.
