The Petra Zone

Yeah, that would be something. But then the AI will want to be compensated for all the mechanicals and royalties it tracks.

Greg X did a great job on his track. It sounds great. The whole album is great.

I, personally, would love to hear how Greg would sound on Back to the Street, not to replace John's work but as an alternative "What if?" album.

You could call it Back to the Volz.

Can Volz Compete rhymes.

It's a double whammy for CCM fans. People mature spiritually, which can change preferences.

Yep. Their tempos were off the hook.

Please take this in the most Christian way, but that's one of the most ignorant posts I have read in a while. You are over-spiritualizing things, saying Petra is not following a calling or pleasing God because of inactivity when you don't understand how things work. At 70+ years old, they might have...

Greg is not part of Petra. He has his version CPR (which has changed names a couple of times).

Their first two records are the property of labels, and one of those may no longer be in business. So, the band won't be able to do anything about Spotify. Spotify only pays .003 cents per play. The band might not see any of the money anyway. So, buy a copy of the albums.

Since it's not going to sell what they used to sell, and Christian radio probably isn't going to play it, they should do what they want and RAWWWWWWWWK! Make music they like and don't worry about anyone else.

Greg Bailey has completed bass tracks. A huge tone he has, Mix I must. Hmmmm?

People have a fixed number of good ideas. Fans don't like it when their band changes. They don't like it when they keep replaying the same old licks. I think they are better now than they have been. Lyrically, MS is throwing it down. This reminds me of a quote from a university dean (Criminal Justic...

Yeah. MS posted on FB that they finally tuned down to preserve his voice. Screams are all head voice and done at lower volumes. He could have done those, but my money is on those screams being Autotuned/Melodyned from a lower key. I keep listening for the sounds of a loop, so if it is manipulated, i...

That all comes down to moolah.

Yep. We wrote over 135 ideas in the last decade and have settled on 12. Those are 12 of the 13 or 14 we did last year. We have been slowed down by life events (other bands, recording, touring, work, torn knees, house remodeling....aaaaaand funding). Here's where we are: 1. 12 Songs are done and full...

Wasn't pretty. Ha.
