Agreed!! ^

I wish cassette players were more popular, it's really hard to find a good one nowadays!

Hey Cristian, so glad to hear you were able to sub for Louie! If Petra picked you to play with them, then you have to be VERY good, no matter what folks may say. Good to hear see you on here as well! I wasn't there, but I'm sure the show was awesome!

I don't agree that they should have stayed retired. They've been awesome before, and they will be again. I have faith in them :P One bad show doesn't mean anything, happens to everyone. I'm sorry that it had to happen at the show you went to though, it must have felt disappointing. Keep your chin up...

I think if there's a problem with the stage moniters or if John can't hear himself, that could be part of the reason why he went flat. When he came to Newfoundland, he was struggling on a couple of the songs, but once he called out and asked the soundman to turn up the moniters, he did fine. Most pe...

Wow Boray, thanks for finding that again! I remember hearing it sometime before and couldn't find it again for some reason! I love how it just builds and builds and gets progressively harder... pure ear-candy it is!!

That's because he is THE man as far as guitar playing goes. Yes, you can argue that there are better, faster, more talented, more whatever guitar players out there, but for me, Bob is IT. Period. Full stop. End of story.

That's a good point, rexreed. I remember Social services coming to our door once because someone in the neighborhood reported that I was never out running around with the other youth. My mother said she had a hard time understanding that, since the youth that they referred to were a bunch of hooliga...

This is sort of a random topic, but I've seen a few other mentions of homeschooling on some of the more (ahem!) political topics. I was homeschooled my entire life, from Junior kindergarten all the way through grade 12, including one college course. We used mainly A.C.E., although I took Saxon Math ...

I don't know why there hasn't been a blooper reel for Petra! The Gaithers are famous for their bloopers, and even the newer bands (Anthem Lights comes to mind) have blooper videos. I would love to see that...

I'd say John Schlitt's website is more the "memorial site" if you will. It has all the old Petra songbooks, interviews, millions of pictures (well, thousands at least) even a section for fan art or whatever you want to call it. LOL not to be morbid, but I would die if anything happened to John or Bo...

And that one was the only track I didn't like... although, I need to listen to it again, it may grow on me. It certainly was creative though, not your usual hidden track material!

Hah, I was listening to their album "Snappy" just yesterday! Only album I ever had from these guys, I always sort of enjoyed it, but I have the feeling that any other album from them wouldn't be the same.

FINALLY got around to listening to this! I loved listening to all the different ways you experimented with the songs. I had to guess at some of them, but that made it more fun when I recognized them! I loved It is Finished, Beat the System, I am on the Rock, God Gave Rock and Roll, and I know there ...
