1. Pillar is composed of Rob Beckley (vocals), Lester Estelle Jr.(drums), Noah Henson (guitar), and Michael "Kalel" Wittig (bass). These Christian rockers with an alt-metal edge have been honing their infectious sound since 1998 while attending Ft. Hays State University in northwestern Kansas. A deal with Flicker was inked in 2000 after the band's self-released debut, Metamorphosis, impressed the label. Within months, Pillar followed things up with Above. Their first single, "Open Your Eyes," was popular on the college charts, earning Above nearly 60,000 in sales. Pillar also earned the Best Rock Band award at the annual Dove Awards in 2001.
A year later, Pillar relocated to Tulsa, OK, and released Fireproof. MCA picked up the band and reissued the energetic sophomore effort in 2003. However, MCA shut down shortly thereafter and Pillar returned to Flicker, and released their next album, Where Do We Go From Here, in 2004.
In 2005, Joey "Cinco" Avalos, formerly of Christian rock trio Justifide, was added as a second guitar player. He was never an official member of the band, and only played live shows. He no longer does, as he is playing in the newly started band "Stars Go Dim".
In Pillar's 2006 release, The Reckoning, the band stays true to their style while experimenting with new sounds. Pillar was nominated for the "Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album" Grammy with this album.
On Pillar's fifth album, For The Love Of The Game, frontman Rob Beckley says this:
“We get to say that we play rock ‘n roll for a living. We get to see lives changed. We have a renewed love and focus. With that in mind, making For the Love of the Game was very fun, and very fluent; it just came out. We went into the studio knowing what the album was going to be called and we were able to carry the vision through. We wanted to have a positive, bright, fun sounding record. That was our intent from the beginning. We trust that as people hear this record, God will use it to change lives. That’’s the ultimate fuel for our fire. When someone tells us, ‘‘your music changed my marriage, or brought me closer to God,’ that’s when we know God is using our music, and that’’s what it’s all about to us.” ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Written by MacKenzie Wilson and Abel Ringvold
Pillar's sixth album, "Confessions," was released on September 22, 2009, claiming to show an evolved style but at the same time sticking close to the formula developed in For The Love Of The Game.
2. Pillar was a band that consisted of Dave Walker, who would later on do vocals for Harvest and Krakatoa, and Justin Kane, who would go on to drum for Disembodied and Martyr AD. Not much is known of Pillar other then a demo released in 1993, which was produced by Cad Dziewior (Threadbare, 108, Judas Factor, etc.)
3. Pillar was an emo band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Released their full length "Everyone is as Terrified as You Are" in 2001.

Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She couldn't take anymore, so she tried to ignore
Her daddy, he wanted to settle the score
For all the little meetings he had had before
All the secrets started taking their toll
Making daddy more bold, but it was bruising her soul
He didn't know that she had already told
Her mother already knows and now the drama unfolds
(Chorus)
You're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
You're my angel in disguise
You save me from that one last cry
It's Friday evening and he's at it again
Another hour and then all the pressure begins
Phone keeps ringing so he finally gives in
To hear the voice of his wife asking where have you been?
He tells her I'll be home as soon as I can
So tuck the kids into bed cause time has slipped through my hands
I'm positive she says she loves him again, but it finally sets in
That she's always beenâ?¦
Chorus X 2
It's Friday morning and she walks through the door
All those thoughts from before
She no longer ignored
She's finally home, she sets her bags on the floor
But her mother wasn't there to hold her hand anymore
She heard her daddy he was calling her name
She went back to his room, but he just wasn't the same
He said I'm sorry for the tears that you've cried
Will you ever forgive me?
(She said) I've already tried
You're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
You're my angel in disguise
You save me from that one last cry
You're my angel in disguise
You can look at me with gentle eyes
You're my angel in disguise
