I never saw Robert Sweet wear a mouse (lol). Seriously, though, Louie's great, but I really liked Paul Simmons. He rocked the house on the Farewell tour! Have not seen Cristian... yet. Hope to fix that soon.

This is not about Petra, but... I heard Stryper would take the furniture in their hotel rooms apart and put it back together rather than go out to party on the Soldiers Under Command tour. Don't know if that's true or not. I remember when I was a kid there were all kings of crazy rumors surrounding ...

I want to go bad... but have to work!

As far as what I said about the splitting to reach more people... as an adult, I think that was a way for the guy I knew to make teenagers feel better about a singer leaving a band and being generous. It may have even been said at the time, I don't know. If there is any "dirt" on the band or Greg......

Not to get off topic, but I've always wondered what the relationship, if any, between Petra and Stryper is like. I wore a Stryper shirt to Petra's last show on the Farewell tour in Murphy, NC. At the meet and greet, Bob looked at my shirt and gave me the oddest look I've ever experienced, then John ...

What I recall from back in the day (I was in sixth grade... and a HUGE Christian rock fan), Greg left the band in hopes of Petra and GXV becomming two successful entities. A promotor who went to my church that worked with Petra said that Greg's logic was they could reach twice as many people by spli...

I'm all for a two pronged Petra attack! Let's get a new CD from the Farewell line-up, too! I'd love to hear that J&H follow-up that never happened. I knowm that's not the plan at the moment, but it would be great, right? You can never have too much Petra.

My poor, poor Petracaster as is...

What a disaster! I bought one of the Pickguards from Bob a few years ago. It was my intention to put it on a Fender HSS Strat. I finally bought the guitar, and I have never felt more inadequate for a project in my life. I had no idea how the inside of a guitar worked despite playing one since 1988. ...

I wonder how long Petra would have lasted had this been an issue in the early 1990s, would they be in the GMA Hall of Fame today if they had to quit in 1991 due to people downloading their music for free? I wonder how many bands have missed their part in musical history because of people's lust for...

Hobby Lobby. 50% this week!

SU: In no way shape or form is this an attack, but it is a fellow believer expressing his opinion on this subject. These artists put their money, time, pride, heart and soul into this music. This is how they make their living. Should we really take it just because it's there? I have personally only ...

Got 'em today:

I actually listened to God Fixation for the first time in a long time last night. I forgot how good it was, and feel bad for bashing it in the past. We won't discuss Double Take, though.
