The Petra Zone

THANK YOU PREAHCERMAN777 for posting these rough-ups of the upcoming new CP album! I really appreciate it! I am amazed at how good Greg's voice sounds...still! He and John have such disparate vocal styles - it's apples and oranges, as we all know. I always preferred John to Greg. However, I LOVE the...

Agree - best not to go with such old songs, even though some of them are quite good. They are just not up to the quality standards of the newer music and do not accurately represent Petra's style during their popularity peak period. I disagree with including the original "God Gave Rock...". Even tho...

Well said, Manny. I was sorry about the rift between John and Louie myself, but I echo your sentiment that Petra is made up of imperfect men and operates in fallen world. Stuff happens. That "stuff" doesn't negate all they've done. The truly remarkable thing is that God finds ways to work effectivel...

John sounded great. I was amazed at how good his voice is at age 60.

Anyone know the ticket price and/or when the church doors open for this event? I plan to be at the Fairdale Oak Grove Baptist Church show with my son. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for any help!

I've had the pleasure of meeting John several times, and Bob twice. I was honored to meet them each time, and they both treated me kindly each time. I got autographs at several of the meetings - no problem. These guys are human. We tend to hold them up as role models, which is fine, but we must reme...

I bought Alakrity's Beyond Belief from iTunes a few days ago. It's growing on me!
It's really cool the note exactly which lyrics John sings on their version - very apropos.

Voice in the Wind will be a treat. I'm still enjoying "Just Reach OUt" - really nice job!

I bought this song from iTunes a couple of days ago. Thanks for the post. The original is best, of course, but this version isn't bad at all. Check it out!

The winner is... "Backslidin' Blues" And why, you ask? Beats me. But how absurd. What a maroon. It is so frustrating that, of dozens of great Petra songs out there, this is the representative that is chosen? What a joke. If I were a young person who had never heard of Petra before, and this song was...

The Christian version of "Guitar Hero", known as "Guitar Praise", contains one Petra song. Take a guess as to which one song was placed on this game as representative of Petra's legacy. I'll fill you in after several guesses have been posted.

Just Reach Out is one of my VERY FAVORITE of all of Petra's songs. You did a wonderful job with your rendition. Beautiful...

FAirly cool - thanks for posting, Michael.
PS: I will say that it's very difficult for anyone to match John Schlitt's vocal ability and style, but I'm glad some younger folks are aware of Petra and are working to continue their legacy.

Can any of you Third Day fans recommend to me your favorite 3-5 songs? I am not that familiar with them, but I'd like to get a handful of their best songs for my Mp3 player.
Thanks!

Thank you! I had searched Google but had not found these websites (I guess I didn't know quite what I should have searched for!). These look like EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. Thanks!
