The Petra Zone

I've so done that myself.

Once again: this is not Petra... just a really cool band with former members of the Farewell lineup. Petra without Bob Hartman does not exist. Period. I'm just going for a Christian Chickenfoot type thing. I have no intention of suggesting a replacement for Bob in any form of Petra. Truthfully, I'm ...

Oh, no! Not a new version of Petra! Petra without Bob is... well... we all know what that leads to, so I'm not going there! I'm saying a new supergroup featuring John and Greg Bailey, maybe with the Farewell lineup's new drummer. I just think John and Greg were great together, and even though Bob ha...

You're the physician, don't ask me about what the symptoms of your illness mean.
Just kidding. I like the song, but mot really the part in the middle. Other than that part, it's pretty solid! Just my opinion, anyway. Absolutely love Too Big to Fail!

... as a new band, with a new name, without Bob Hartman (who is busy with Classic Petra), who would you like to see as the guitarist? How awesome do you think this would be? Pure fun, pure fantasy. Any Christian guitarist other than Bob. Any additional instuments can be added to the band (second gui...

I love Adonai. Fantastic song, but I am tired of it blasting through my computer speakers everytime I go to ClassicPetra.com. Anyone else ready for a change? I still love to crank it up when it comes on in the car, but did they have to use the remade version when they changed the intro song? Why not...

Man, I so wish I could go!!! I love both the Classic lineup and the farewell lineup. I think John, Christian (I think that's the new drummers name, if I'm wrong please correct me!), and Greg should start something together with another guitarist if Bob is unavailable. The farewell lineup rocked! If ...

As a song, John's smokes the Classic Petra tune, hands down. I will say that the new tune rocks, and it's great to hear John Lawry's keyboards paired with Bob guitar work again! It's so "Beyond Belief" era. I can pratically hear John singing it. I hope we get some more new tunes sooner than later. I...

Everything going on in the music indusrty as a whole scares me right now. You have 1)People stealing music on free download sites making it very difficult for artists to make a living from CD sales and 2) Programs like American Idol changing the way we veiw artists as if all music should look and so...

It's kind of funny: I'm pretty sure I was the first one to try to download it. I was there when they were putting it up, E-mailed the site back and forth a few times and finally gave up about 4am. It was kinda a good feeling, so I feel ya!

I just found and bought "Beyond Belief" on Vinyl from a seller in the UK. Pretty psyched about that one!

Beyond Belief and Unseen Power both rocked! Creed's intro still gives me chills.

The best part is that the seller lives an hour away from me, and has agreed to do a local pickup. No broken records in the mail!

I just scored an auction for some Petra albums on the 'bay! Check it out:

I'm sure the tour will be live. Petra, especially this line-up, was always awesome live. The only Christian band from that era who ever compared to them live was Mylon and Broken Heart, who were just awesome live. Degarmo and Key were okay, Stryper was... disappointing. Petra always put on a good sh...
