Re: Double Take -vs- The Grafting

I don't like either album very well... but I'd say the Grafting is better because it has an excuse... DT was a collection of songs that could sound good, but were done so horribly that it's almost unbearable (wait, It actually is unbearable!). I've only listened to the Grafting for free on schlittsh...

Re: 1987 Back To The Street?

That's what I was saying, but I have a strong dislike for using heathen terminology... the Bible never talks about Karma, so neither do I.

Re: 1987 Back To The Street?

The Hindus call it Karma. I'm not a Hindu, and I don't care about their Karma. Neither Karma, luck, nor the fates have any place in my worldview. I don't care if the Hindus think something bad is going to happen to me. I'm only concerned that I may be doing wrong by God's standards; besides, people...

Re: 1987 Back To The Street?

Please note that I am heavily sarcastic and not everything should be taken exactly as it sounds (e.g. "...they're so generous."). So you were being tongue in cheek the whole way through and really didn't acquire a third of your Petra library through theft? It depends on how you calculate it... I bo...

Re: I know we've been over this before but...

There are such things as electronic drumsets - which are played just the same as a standard drumset, but don't actually make the sound. It only sends signals to a synth unit, which in turn makes a sound. Thus you have an electronic drum sound without the tedious programming required for the old all-...

Re: Background track for a song?

I've used low-quality digital vocal-removers for similar effects, but they only work if you don't care how bad it sounds. :) With them you have to sing loudly enough to drown out the warbly residue of the main vocals... not a terribly good sound all-in-all. "Trax" are definitely preferable if you ca...

Re: Seriously what happened??

I don't get what the problem was supposed to be with the singer (unless it's that he acted like a total clown)... seemed above average to me. I personally would prefer them to not do the old non-christian songs. It's not exactly evil, but seems completely pointless to me.

Re: NEWS at LAST!

An interesting lineup for sure... unfortunately for me, it's only a concert. If they were making an album I guarantee I'd buy it! But as for concerts, it's a 1 in 1000 chance of me going... :cry:

Re: Petra's lyrics that are confusing

If I had, I probably wouldn't be a Pethead now. It was that very attribute of "always making sense" that made them beat the Newsboys for me.

Re: song structure

When I write songs, I find this an easy structure to use. It's often hard to write more than two verses that have the same tune (for me, anyway), and sometimes the bridge is a third verse with different music. I have no idea who first used it or why, but it strikes me as the most natural structure t...

Re: 1987 Back To The Street?

I don't really see why ripping a CD should be illegal, or why it would be morally wrong. Seems about the same to me as going to someone's house and listening to it there. Should I make sure that none of my friends listen to music that I bought because they didn't pay for it's use?

Re: The Zone has changed

If you do not want to believe that Jesus is coming for the saved and the angels are gathering the lost, then that is on you. What else do you have to cling to? When are you going to be with Jesus if you do not plan to go when he comes to get you? You have another way? I plan to be with Jesus when H...

Yikes! I always thought everybody hated me before I attempted to make an online presence, but now I know it! It seems that nothing I say can't be attacked.
