The Petra Zone

Ok, so there's my poll question. I know that most people will vote for John replaces Greg, but I think that the others have merit as well, if you stop and think about it. Personally, I think the Elefantes coming in was huge. If you listen to their other projects, Petra is very much in line with them...

If Petra is seriously contemplating retiring, then here's how I'd like things to play out: Fall 2005 - New studio album with all new material. Similar style to Jekyll & Hyde, only don't be scared of guitar solos/musical interludes. Also don't be slaves to the 10 song form. Spring 2006 - Announce a f...

I've got John's 5 studio albums from Head East on vinyl, except Pancake which is on cassette. I was never able to find the live album though. For those of you looking to get Head East on CD, there is a compilation CD. A&M released it in their 20th Century Masters series in 2001. I've got it as well ...

Yes, it seems to me I've seen the name Lirpa Loof once before. About one year ago, if I recall...

This GHF thing is so cool. Really, it's more Petra than Petra. From a certain point of view. After all, it was Greg Hough who started Petra in the first place. And here is 3/4 of orginal Petra. Compare that to seeing Petra in, say, 1998 with no original members. Granted, the original Petra is not th...

I have a question that maybe someone can answer for me. Did Trent Thomason ever actually play a single note as a member of Petra? I remember around the time Double Take was recorded, Kevin Brandow was in and out and in again. I know Trent is listed as a member on Double Take, but the liner notes als...

For some reason I have it in my head that they were off of a promotional CD for PP2 (or is it WNJ?). I have an mp3 of Holiest Name that I found on Audiogalaxy years ago before it got shut down. I download one for Lovely Lord at the time, but it sounded the same as the original, so I deleted it. Mayb...

PP2 Remix - Lovely Lord (Acoustic) PP2 Remix - The Holiest Name (Acoustic) GF Remix - If I Had To Die For Someone (Acoustic) I know that those two PP2 Remixes came off a promotional CD. I had found downloads of those songs a long time ago, but the version of Lovely Lord that I got was the same as t...

Oddly enough, this is the only Petra album that I have in all 3 formats, so I'll solve this one for you. On the back of the album cover, it lists the songs in alphabetical order. This is the same image reproduced on the back of the CD booklet. However, on the LP itself, the songs are listed (and rec...

Viktor Means Rock?

1. Beyond Belief - In my opinion the all-time classic album. Title track is probably their most recognized song. Not a bad song on the album. Also, any top Petra album would have to contain the long-time line-up of Bob, Louie, John, John, Ronny. 2. On Fire! - Again, not a bad song on this album. Not...

Anybody ever catch this one from Creed?

Some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord

Some to sing eternal praise forever to Allah

So when did Petra convert to Islam?

I don't know if you remember a while back me mentioning Petra's involvement with Operation Powerlink and the World's Largest Pizza Party. That's where that live clip from 1993 came from (hosted on JWS site). Anyway, my wife was recently hired as the youth director at our church. As she was cleaning ...

On the subject of all this, anybody notice who the newest registered user of this zone is?

I had noticed when "Degroff" had joined as well, but didn't say anything at the time. This time I figured why not.

I'd be so tempted to ask something like:

Is Wayne Seboa actually as big of a jerk as he appears to be?

Sorry. I tried to hold my tongue, but I can't. Probably shouldn't ask that one...
