The Petra Zone

Yesterday I saw this video of Petra and... well, I will confess, It's the first time that I saw Pete Orta in a video with Petra and this was my first question:

What happened to Pete Orta in this video?...

This is the link for the video:

The "New Versions" of the Petra songs are really good.

Excellent work.

Yes, the First 35 Seconds... Of what?...

Oh the song : Angel Of Light.

That's a powerful intro for one of the all-time best songs of Petra. If that intro is an indication of another (well, I hope) Petra Album... we will have Jekyll and Hyde Part 2...

PETRA MEANS ROCK!!!

For me, this song is much better than Back To The Rock.

Well, it's really a good album but with the Back to the Rock song I was expecting something more... well a more powerful song.

Definitely a cool clock.

Today I was listening :

1. Road To Zion.

2. Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows.

3. Grave Robber.

OK, they are Pre-Mastered songs but this is what I think: 1. Bema Seat : Sounds good but it needs more Guitar Power. 2. Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows : The original is one of my all time favorite songs... The new version is good but... needs to be more metallic...Please. 3. More Power To Ya : I...

TOP:

1. More Power To Ya.
2. On Fire!
3. This Means War!
4. Jekyll and Hyde.
5. Back to the Rock.


BOTTOM:

1. Double Take.
2. Revival.
3. No Doubt.
4. Washes Whiter Than.
5. Captured In Time and Space.

Awesome! The Sword-Logo and the Fire-Guitar are excellent but they need to change those spaceships. We want Giant-Guitar-Spaceships like the More Power to Ya album... Is this a Hard Rock Album?

OK, God Fixation it's not an Earth-shaking-mega-boom-blaster-stereo-destroyer-metallic-hard-rock-album... but... well, just read these words: "And I am glad that You are not at all like me, 'Cause You laid down Your life and did it willingly. It still amazes me to know, it's me that You were thinkin...

Just compare St. Augustine's Pears (My favorite song from the album) with the rest of the songs... You will see... Definitely it was an album ahead of it's time.

This is difficult. There are so many great songs from that era, but here I go with my list: 1. Hard Rock: a. God Gave Rock and Roll To You. (In a really hard rock version). b. Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows. (Is it possible, in the Jekyll and Hyde Style...plus... longer or more metallic guitar s...

Patience...
