Where did the band skillet originally start?

Answer 1

Basically, John Cooper's (lead singer) pastor had asked him if he wanted to do an outreach with a couple other musicians (i.e., starting a Christian band together). John, being the spontaneous type he was back in ole '96, said yes. All of the musicians part of the founding were coming from all different bands, so John came up with the idea of throwing all types of things in a Skillet and frying it up...and someone, at some point, said to John, "Hey, that could be the band's name!" And John's like, "Okay, sure, whatever." And thus became the band and the name itself...it started as a side project in Memphis Tennessee.
