you know what i've always wanted to do? have a bunch of panheads get together and book Skillet for a show, but have it be an all request show. Have it in a small, intimate environment where John can talk with the people a little more one on one and just request any song you've always wanted to hear live. Of course, Ben and Lori may not be really current on some of the older stuff, but I think they could pull it off. If not, then you just have Ken, Kevin, and Trey come as well! :)

I guess the only problem would be exactly where to have it, since everyone is so spread out. we could always video it and do a live webcast and let people request songs online.

Awesome idea Will, a little voice inside of me is saying have it in GA. ;)

** Purg **

lol. NO Ny

lol. NO Ny


No way dude.

Have it in the middle. ;)

Ooh. You know how great that idea is? Awesome.

Thing is...it'd be hooking up with peeps from the net.

Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia... Thats about as far as I can go now.

In a year or two I can go more places.


What, you can't come to SC?

Have it in Nashville TN, the music capitol of the world.

that's actually not a bad idea. it's pretty centrally located for the southeast, and with all the Christian media in Nashville, we could get some media coverage for the band.

Sure, we're joking about this now... but that's how that cross-country road trip to SWC2002 started - as just a joke. :)

Watch it happen eventually. :-*

Great idea Will. :)

yeah it will happen..

that would be totally awesome. try to keep it low key though as much as possible. like don't let it get swarmed, cause then it would just be too crazy.

The Should Have It In Knoxville , TN that whould be so kewel ! ;D

Wherever it is...I most likely won't be making it there. :-

that is such a good idea Will!

TN would be cool just because it would be more central. Cali would be too far for just about everyone. :P

seriously, if this happens...i'll fly out for it. a rare experience that i don't want to miss out on.

intimate concert setting and meeting panheads. 8)

Yes, Cali is too far for everyone..... 39 hours driving-wise for me!

Ohio would be a cool place for it... cleveland's got the rock & roll hall of fame, after all... wehre tehy hold cd release parties adn such....

i wonder if my parents would let me go... maybe if it takes long enough to get set up, i will be driving by that point. it would be awesome. I WANNA GO!

meeting panheads. 8)


And, then... I could *really* tackle you. :-*

I've thought about that before...an all-request show liuke that would just be so awesome.


My parents would never let me go. I think.

Why would they let a 14 year old fly out far just to see Skillet and meet internet people?

*using my parents view*

I have the same problem. I'm not allowed to go anywhere :P But if I could watch it online I would be satisfied. ;D

If it was anywhere on the eastern half of the country, it'd take about 2 seconds to talk me into it...

It'd take a little longer to talk me into the West coast...but as long as it was a group road trip thing, I could be talked into that as well (wouldn't be the first time ;)).

well, i dont' know about anyone else, but *cough cough* i'm poor. College student w/ scarce hours at his workplace afford very little for distance trips. But, more power 2 it being wherever God leads it to be if He wills it to be at all. *quickly prays* "God please let it be in VA please oh please oh please" ;) ::)

And you could always come and pick me up. ;)

I told Carrie about it....

We were trying to figure out how it could work out...we even thought about doing a bakesale to raise money! *giggle* ;)

You could make another giant guitar cake... ;)

Oh man....somebody would have to be willing to pay an awful lot for another one of those...but hey, if it makes an all request, panhead skillet concert more possible...Just maybe. ;)

That would rock. When you made the one for Ben, what colour was it?

I'm with Tracy on this one ... Dunno if I could afford it but I would try really hard to be there. I've got some friends in Franklin that I would love to drop in on while there. ;D

If it was to be in TN it SHould be in Knoxville.

Nah... it should definitely by in NC.. like at the Greensboro Coliseum or something like that...

Not in Greensboro... Been there... it's not that great... considering the youth leader was driving in circles around the coliseum... ::)

I think I'd have to say either Nashville or Memphis. It makes the most sense to be around there. *shrug*

Yeah, I with you Robyn. :) It makes bunches of sense.

It WHould be cool if it Was in Knoxville so maby I can walk to it or find a ride at church to get there I dont get see Skillet concerts thta much

i also agree with Memphis or Nashville. both would be cool. if we would do a panheads concert, please try to schedule it MONTHS in advance. i could possible beg enough to go. but i would prolly have to raise a lot of money. *crosses fingers*

hey gatechicknc , this is jordan of subtotal. I saw where you put something about greensboro and looked at your info and saw your the one from straight gate. haha just thought that was cool. I didnt know you were a big skillet fan too?! Anyway, thats a great idea Will. I would go no matter where it was. The further it is away, the better of a roadtrip it would be for me and my buds. :)

that is such a good idea Will!

just let us know when (preferably a few months in advance...that allows for cheaper prices from Expedia.com) ;)

or road trip...though, hmmm...how long would a drive take from CA to TN? probably kinda long. and i can't see our parents being thrilled about a road trip would just girls.

see, that's why we need an older brother, Tracy! ;)

The only problem with this idea is that Skillet can't play alot of their songs live, which is why they have a live set that they use when they tour.

When you hear something on an album, 90% of the time, that song was recorded in tracks, not all at the same time. It's too difficult to record that way. So each person takes a turn doing their part and then they mix it into the song. When they go to play a song live, it's usually after loads of practice that they can play it well.

Also, if you notice, when you go to a concert, the songs usually don't sound exactly the same as they do on the album. Its a different atmosphere when you are in the studio than on stage. You can do a lot more as far as sound wise. Korey can make it seem like shes playing 24 different synth noises on the album while on stage you can only hear 4 or 6. They need to learn how to mix sounds and play them so it sounds good on stage.

It's an awesome idea to have a panhead show, but at the same time, there are so many factors that come into play to make it, for the moment, impossible.

That would be long! The farthest I've road tripped so far has been to Ft. Worth Texas. I told my Mom after that drive that I will not drive any farther then Texas ... 22 hours from CA! I much prefer to fly ... BUT if need be I would drive.

You know you could count me for that road trip! I can just see it now ... picking up Panheads along the way lol :D

that's long. wow.

i dunno how my Honda could hold a bunch of panheads anyway. :)

Hey Jordan! Yeah... I'm definitely a total skillet fan!! have been since like '97.. ever since I saw them at Carowinds that summer.. back when it was just John, Ken, and Trey... man have things changed!!!

I still say it should be in NC.. if not Greensboro..then like Winston.. or something

First of all I love the idea! Secondly, I think we should have it in the Mid west. cause every one can join the middle of the country.

I would say Oklahoma, cause, that's kinda in the middle. :)

Hey wouldn't it be cool to be in Manchester MD in front of my house...Theres a field ;D

SEE HAVE CONCERT HERE!!!

would i count as one?? i'm older than Tracy (by a little less than a year). :) all i'd have to do is drive down to y'all then we could get going. i've driven from IL before. it only took 3 days. :o but that was only 10 or so hour days. we could do it in 2 if we went with 15 hr days. ;)

& why do i always find the good threads late. i guess that's what happens when the boards explode with life. :D

I think the concert should still be in front of my house...
I tried to book Skillet for my youth group and they were already booked >:(

For you, Hollie and Tracy, 29 hours to Memphis, and 32 and a half hours to Nashville. *yay MapQuest!*


sounds about right... it took us about 36 hours to get from Memphis to SWC in Monterey.

Does anyone agree with me???? The pictures on the top... Isn't that perfect for a concert????

36 hours = forever.

And I wasn't even the one(s) driving. ;)

I'm guessing it depends on how many stops you make.

Am I being ignored? Someone say no or yes and then ill shut up... Please...

Yes, I believe so.

Now, Robyn. Did you say yes to "say yes or no" or "Am I being ignored"? ;) ;D

Now, Robyn. Did you say yes to "say yes or no" or "Am I being ignored"? ;) ;D


Depends on who's asking and if I decide to ignore them as well.

You make an excellent point. :)

I do Bob....and not just because I live in MD ;D...but that helps.... me and Mrs J3 could be chaperons but then who would watch us :o

Bob that is an awesome place for a concert. Just a bit to far for me tho. You do have a beautiful view. Tho moving to the Baltimore area isn't ruled out yet.

I could never go no matter where it was so..... maybe..... for my 15th birthday.. hummm..

you could have it in Connecticut. Connecticut is not that big

For you, Hollie and Tracy, 29 hours to Memphis, and 32 and a half hours to Nashville. *yay MapQuest!*


sounds about right... it took us about 36 hours to get from Memphis to SWC in Monterey.


yeah, and i was totally stunned that you guys did that.

lol@michael. sounds like you are used to road trips yourself (not 36 hours...but enough). something to remember and get back to you on. :)

I think the longest I've done is like, 12 hours, just to visit grandparents. *eesh*

Have the concert somewhere new like Oh I dunno Ireland!? Northern Part, Belfast maybe. :P then I cud see them live for the first time!!

now that would be sweet... i could go there, see skillet, and visit hte ppl that i met there a couple years ago :)

Ok I'm just now reading all of this, a lot to catch up on ::).

I agree, that would be an awesome idea for Skillet to do a request show like some artists do on the A&E channel. And agree it should be in either Memphis or Nashvegas. Someone set this up and give me a couple months notice in advance, and I'll defintely won't miss this.

I think the longest I've done is like, 12 hours, just to visit grandparents. *eesh*

haha, further than me. My grandparents live 8-10 hours away...depending on how long we stop for meals and such.
Unless you count the class trip to Memphis, that took us a few days, but we were very much detoured by all the sightseeing between Manitoba and Memphis.

But anyway, the furthest I'd probably be able to go to see a concert would be...North Dakota. :P Maybe South Dakota if I begged my parents enough.

SOUTH DAKOTA ROCKS!!! Still manchester MD is where it should be...

It would just make more sense to have about three concerts. One on the east coast, one on the west coast, and one in Oklahoma. Although, I do have some vacation days coming to me. I would be willing to travel a reasonable distance to see this show. I am starting to go through withdrawls. I haven't been to see Skillet since...since...oh, the show they did for a youth group in Texas. Real panheads get into closed shows!! haha...How much would it cost to put on a concert anyways. If you could front the money, or find someone to, you could break even with ticket sales.

It would just make more sense to have about three concerts. One on the east coast, one on the west coast, and one in Oklahoma.

Aw, what about Canada?? I feel left out up here. :P

they can have it in Ft. Myers so I can go to a concert

Hey Canada is a great idea. I would so book my vacation around that!! I haven't been there in, well, maybe I haven't really been there. I crossed over the border once if that counts.

You Know What ? Skillet SHould do a concert in Knoxville againg! Hahah Yeah !

Wouldn't it be great if Action House TV had an all request concert with Skillet, and they flew all of us in to be in the audience!!! *sigh* only in my dreams.

I want Action House TV But I can't get on the website... :(

Basically, the song I REALLY want to hear live is Take.

Yeah, that would rock! A concert that's entirely panheads! That'd be sweet! Having it in Oklahoma would be good. *hint hint*

Yeah but we all know it'd be sweet to have it in Manchester MD

I would have to say somewhere in the Texas, Ok., Louisiana area that as far as i can go

Yeah !! TEXAS !!! ;D 8) ;)

I say new Jersey! lol.me and my youth Pastor's wife wants them to come to our church.

they should do it in Kenosha. that way...they won't have to travel too far to get home.

That is so funny that you thought of that, because just last night after the Skillet show we were sad because they didnt play "locked" and I had that idea! Are you thinking acoustic? I do love acoustic- but I would prefer the all out stuff! I think Nashville is a good place- but what about Memphis? Its where it all started ya know?!
Feel free to email me! I would love to talk!

Hi- just wanted to let you know that I now am registered- so I am no longer Amanda (guest), but juliet7714!!!

welcome aboard juliet. :)

lol. NO Ny


No way dude.

Have it in the middle. ;)


exactly. South Dakota. Smack in the middle of the US. ;D and we're so underpriveledged when it comes to Skillet concerts

except, my parents wouldn't let me go that far. Not even my sister has gone that far for a show.

lol i still say Knoxville In the same state of tennessee where skillet was formed

no! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.! S. Dak.!

lol i still say Knoxville In the same state of tennessee where skillet was formed
cough, yes.

Bob's front yard is still open ;D

I like the idea of Ok.

2words

Northern


Ireland.

5 more words:


not

many

irish

panheads

here
;D

There's 3 at least...

Ireland people will just have to save their money then.. OK that was a little harsh.. but...

We're a tiny country! Puny even! Just about 150 miles from one end to the other IF EVEN THAT!!!

Ok, so lets pretend we are all at the concert, where ever it is! It is a "all request concert" so Will has the first choice, Will, what would you request?

what bout the UK, nice relaxed environment easy 2 get 2 and friendly!!!! ;D

i have a couple objections for that....as for easy to get to... well, it is if you can afford the plane ticket ::) and friendly.... well, i could be wrong, and i probably am, but from what i've read, the average joe in the UK doesn't think americans are worth a crap ::) :P

ok so we (nat and michael) have this idea...what if there was a day where all panheads unite at a giant skillet concert. In the morning, it would be panheads only and after lunch itd be an open skillet concert for everyone! this way we could all meet our fellow panheads and have a crazy awesome time with skillet!!!


love to hear your feedback!
~fryingpan and xmusicaddictx~ ;D

there was a discussion thread like this a while back.... but it never got anywhere, because no one could agree on where to have it... :D



but i love the idea.

we will find a place....i am very determined lol!

me too we will find a place the thing is when

lol wed have to talk to skillet about that one :)

I love the idea, but I'd never be able to agree on a location, as C_N said it happened. There are too many panheads on either side of the country instead of in the Midwest right here. I'm not saying there aren't any, but there isn't enough for the panheads to come together. Maybe a handful ;) but anyway, Skillet would have to have a PanFest West, a PanFest East, and maybe a Midwest one if they can cojure up some decent fans from around the area. Maybe they could do a PanFest North and South, too! But I'd love the idea. Glad to see you guys conjure up as many ideas as I do. I never would mention 'em 'cause they are all too far-fetched.

yeah ;D ...

i think...

we could find the place surrounded by the most panheads and do it around there

just a thought

There could only be like California and Maryland ones or something. It'd take some major Vacation planning for me ;D!!!

yeah i dont care were it is ill go to china if it is there

lol, unfortunately I don't have the privelege to do so! (excuse my spelling, I'm a bit off today)

ill take you ill even pay if i have to

me too! china...thatd be so crazy

Yeah, I'm sure my dad would love that, lol...





lol, yeah right

hoy chong qui ding


thats my version of skillets savoir in chineselol i made it up

where ever it is I'll pay out of my own back pocket money.. not just to support skillet but b.c I would want to see you guys/girls

Yeah, I'd love to see you all too...

of cource that would be absolutely awesome

oh YE-ah it would!!!

Id proably never beable to, becuase one, I haven't even been to a Skillet concert, and my parents wouldn't let me, and I have no way to get there even if they did. SO, I wouldn't be able to come, even thoguh it would be very cool.

I know how that is...

we could find the place surrounded by the most panheads and do it around there



CALIFORNIA!!!! yess....we all want to go to SOUTHERN California.... :evil:

lol, good one, X. I agree that'd be a good place, but don't plan on seein' me there.

muhahaha. [make the call.. as too where the most panheads are!!]

Man, that site had some weirdo's album on it, and the album pic was ... let's just say, inappropriate.

man, that must be all the wrong skillet in Iowa, man, 'cause when I look 'round here, all I see is fans of Britney Spears and Nelly and all them.

muhahaha. [make the call.. as too where the most panheads are!!]

Who's to say they were panheads who were charted? They could all be Skillet haters who put their location on it anyway! And who's to say you didn't RIG it somehow?! Hmmm!?! :o

there is a chinese or close to it lol

to me the area with the most looks like in indiana or close by

lol... yeah, the map might not be trustworthy...

Who's to say they were panheads who were charted? They could all be Skillet haters who put their location on it anyway! And who's to say you didn't RIG it somehow?! Hmmm!?! :o
mmm.. I highly doupt that.

lol, she was just joking.

i live in ny.. and im the only one.. lol. who posted on it that i can seeeeeeee...Need more people to join globaldust... come on... need to help Skillet out...

Yeah, but there isn't much I can do other than request it constantly... like anyone here wants to hear it anyway...

to me the area with the most looks like in indiana or close by

Probably Ohio. Ohio is a hotbed of Skillet fans.

Yep, that is ture.

yeah that will work too

Hey Will,
This is an awsome idea!! it would need to be in the center of the USA so to include all Panheads from all directions. 24 hours of driving is not a problem. Let's do it.

APANHEADSDADDY

I'd do it, God and dad willing! But I'd need my liscence... stupid Iowan laws... >:(

there is a chinese or close to it lol

yeah, she's a friend who's from the states and loves skillet. she was over there teaching. she rocks. :)

sooo coool

yeah i will go to the concert no matter were it is

As long as it's central america, shouldn't be hard

that would be best (i live in missouri lol) but ill go if it is in Antarctica

lol i don't think id make it, lol

yeah but i think we should serioulsy do the concert it would be awesome

It would be awesome.

Will will you talk to the band (skillet hehe) and ask them if they will do the concert? Please

Me? I hope you're talking to the mods.

yeah i said Will but it kinda sounded weird "Will will..." sorry

Yeah... that's OK... because you know Skillet wouldn't be able to come within 3 feet of me! :P
