The Petra Zone

Let's not read more into all this than might be there...It's just people's opinions. Greg contributed a great deal to Petra's history and he has a wonderful voice. I happen to like his version of Dream On a lot. Some singers move around more on stage than others. John moved around a lot too. It boil...

...he sings and moves like... a youth group pastor trying to be legit. I remember seeing Greg X. Volz on tour right after the release of his 1991 album The Exodus . One standout moment that evening was of him hitting a high note whilst doing a high kick a la David Lee Roth. IMG_1241.JPG :lol:

Poor Hand On My Heart. I do realize it won't be to everyone's taste, but I happen to like that song, and they were so cute when they sang it in concert. 8) I love I Need to Hear From You too. I like Unseen Power, although not as much as Beyond Belief. There are a lot of good songs on Unseen Power. I...

I don't have to agree with someone's political views to enjoy their music or enjoy a movie or TV show. I don't think everyone is required to like Trump, and it is true the definition of "American" can be different for different people. I don't dispute that. And I don't have anything against immigran...

I don't know about Bruce, aside from him being anti-american. Pretty sure he is lost. I don't like the majority of his music. It all sounds the same. He sounds like he is bound up and just needs to take some Pepto and a big dump. Have you ever listened to Willie Nelson's solo in We Are The World? L...

I am going to have to catch up on this thread, I haven't read all the posts. I do understand what you mean. It is too easy to get into making generalizations. It's not right to assume every Muslim is a terrorist, just as it isn't right to assume every Hispanic person is a gang member or that all whi...

During the last couple of weeks I have found it striking that some of you are very reluctant to critizice or even hear anything bad about any member of Petra or anyone associated with the band, while in religious and political debates you seem to have a very different approach and rather easily gen...

Well, that was 20-years, so long-distance communication wasn't anywhere near as easy or convenient as it is today. A phone call may have simply not been possible, and then once they arrive they have to rush the load-in and don't have the time or desire to chat about what happened on the road severa...

That does work both ways. Although unexpected things may happen, the promoters, churches and so on should be doing their part too. There is no excuse for not paying them or folllowing through with an agreement. Whatever the case, you do reap what you sow, so it's a good idea to treat others the way ...

Something unexpected like a bus breakdown may have happened, but it's wise not to demand someone be ready if you're not able to do so. It would have been good for someone to pick up a phone and let you know what was happening. One of my pet peeves is people who expect from others what they don't do ...

That is cool. Time does fly.

But, here is something one can confidently accept as a 100 per cent accurate, undeniable, and irrefutable commentary on human nature:

Good point.

Okay, I read the articles, out of curiousity and interest in the story, not to condemn or look for dirt. Although I agree you can't get the whole story from articles on the Internet, it's interesting to hear his side. I don't agree with his views, but it does appear Jonathan was trying to help some ...

no one wrote:Page 1: Trump tape, the man has a filthy mouth and poor view of women.
Page 2: But Hillary is bad
Page 3: Islam is evil
Page 4? Come Lord Jesus.

That about sums it up. It's not unusual for posts on the Zone to go all over the place though.

^^ What Brent said. And maybe someone should point out if the circumstances were reversed, other countries certainly would not open their borders to Americans. Just saying.
