Would CPR still be considered "Classic Petra" if they played and recorded only original music?

By all of the reasoning in this thread, then why isn't GHF considered "something Petra"? All members are original members and they play a mix of Petra tunes and new originals.

Say WHAT?!? Who are the other "friends"? Anyone we'd recognize? Does John sing on many songs?

Greg Bailey replaces Ronny Cates: https://www.cprband.rocks/the-band

So they just skipped Lonnie Chapin altogether. They're moving out of sequence!

Bob wants nothing to do with CCM anymore because he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know how to write for CCM radio. He told me that. That explains Holy Is Your Name. It sounds like Bob's attempt to write something that sounds like everything else on the radio. Sadly, it just comes off as way t...

If the Elefantes were producing early 80s Petra, we never would have had Visions, which is epic in its Vangelis-like majesty!

They should have called the band Cephas. The album could have been called Cephas Also Means Rock.

The only good thing about them is the album cover of the first one. Classic Petra guitar album cover. But the music is terrible.

Moving on from Louie for a moment, the thing I've always been curious about is what all did Bob play guitar on during the years he wasn't on the road? Based on liner notes, it looks like he played everything on No Doubt. I'd wager that he likely played most, if not all of PP2, but I have no evidence...

It's noteworthy that with the exception of Mark Kelly, John Schlitt and Bob Hartman, every person who was a member of Petra for more than five years played on this album.

A camel eating a guitar?

I find it cool that Greg B and Cristian are on the album. It really is a merger of several different eras of Petra.

What, no Double Take option?!?

How much is needed? Can I pay you in punch outs from electrical boxes?

Or one million pop can rings?

Anybody figure out Ronny's mystery song yet?

I may have posted this story before, but I bought Unseen Power on my way to youth group and put it on the stereo at the church while we were playing floor hockey. Then this other music came on and I went back into the adjoining room to complain to whoever it was that changed the music. Then I found ...

If this is Petra or not... well it's at least twice as many guys from Petra than "two guys from Petra".

Technically Two Guys from Petra had three guys from Petra, because Jim Cooper did keyboards and BGVs.
