The Petra Zone

Well, i did not see that interview, but if that's what he said and its not being taken out of context, it sounds like he was definitely trying to be careful on national TV. Not excusing it of course, but that's what it sounds like. Again, im not one of Joel's faithful disciples or anything, but at t...

The Osteen rip was a bit harsh too. I was never a fan of his, but my church helped out at one of his "night of Hope" things two weeks ago, and I must say I didn't disagree with one word he said. Many people were led to Christ, and in effect some have actually started coming to my church. Yes he's a ...

That was actually pretty sweet...... almos like a techno feel, maybe add it some club beats to it. sounded a lot more modern somehow.

When i said "metal", maybe i was going a bit overboard. I really meant just solid rock. Jekyll and Hyde was great for him. "Rock" in itself is just not popular these days. Today, pop music that appeals to young club-hopping women who suck down martinis is what's in. Katy Perry, Lady Gag-Me, etc. Roc...

Wow... John Schlitt is a personal hero of mine. He has been for 20 years. (as well as the rest of petra) O Holy Night also happens to be my favorite Christmas songs.... However, sadly I must say that this is probably the worst version of O Holy Night I have ever heard. John's voice belongs on a meta...

Your site is a thing of beauty... wow.
I may hit you up soon about those files, its no biggie tho.

Anyone know of this album/tape for sale anywhere? saw a random youtube video where this guy was doing a slideshow of all the petra albums and in the background the Petra Youth Choir was singing Stand Up/Lift Him Up. I loved it. never knew this existed til now, but cannot find it. Im guessing it was ...

wow... i strongly second that. Looks like he lives in a van down by the river.....

Can I just get an Amen on how completely awesome Beyond Belief is? Just listened to the entire album on a long drive for the first time in a long time. I mean seriously.... it's a masterpiece... it rocks....

That is all...

Preach it Preacherman. I totally agree. I had a quibble or two with the album, as well as a quibble about how over half the show was canned... but... I would give Classic Petra a 8/10 so far on this comeback. I was at the DVD taping and after a couple days of reflection, I think they made a solid ch...

I agree, and in that aspect, i think it went perfectly. I'm excited for everyone to see it. Petra, especially this lineup deserves this kind of treatment DVD wise i think. Kudos to everyone involved.

Yeah, I came from a mile down the road, it was free and I got to meet all the guys. Even though it was not a true "concert", i dont feel chumped in anyway. It was a DVD taping. It was a great night and icing on top of an awesome cake of being a petra fan all these years. Now if I were one of the man...

Yes, im thinking all 1000+ people got one too.

Well, they showed excerpts of the finished product at the meet and greet on these high def TVs and it looks stunning. Top Notch. I was there, i have the CD and I'm still going to buy it. Also, I wouldn't say it was as simple as the guys posing on stage with the CD from the gift shop playing. 100% of...

Yes he did once, and it wasn't lip synced or anything, good old fashioned key-tar solo.... it was great, crowd ate it up.
