Re: Classic Petra in Bartlesville, OK

I told Hartman and Volz that my wife and I met because of my Petra fan Web site, pointed at my 12-year-old and my 4-year-old, and told them they were partly responsible. They vehemently denied any responsibility. LOL @ those rock starz. ;)

Re: Classic Petra in Bartlesville, OK

Thanks, everybody! :) It HAS been a while. Life intrudes on hobbies, I guess. Cathy and I are STOKED about Classic Petra and about John's solo album! When's the last time we've seen this much Petra-related action at once, huh? :)

Classic Petra in Bartlesville, OK

TWO THUMBS UP! Classic Petra was SMOKING! Before the show the guy next to me was like, "Are you ready for this?" I was like, "Dude, I've been ready for this since 1985!" :) Highlight for me: Lawry and Hartman trading licks, guitar vs. keytar. :D (My review at A Guide to Petra, which SORELY needs to ...

Petra/Stryper

Stryper probably would not have been if it had not been for Petra I disagree 100%. Stryper operated totally outside of the CCM world. They weren't even on a Christian record label. And even if existing Christian rock was a factor, Petra was not by any means the only Christian rock band in existence...

JDB

Yes... the part of that site that was about his arrest & etc. is no longer easily accessible. Although it was created with JDB's permission, and actually with his cooperation , he asked me to remove it to increase his chances at working in the music industry again (Google can be dangerous to a guy's...

influential

I guess it depends on what you mean by "influential." Stryper had hits on mainstream rock radio... Petra did not. Stryper got heard by scads more people than Petra ever did because of it. Now, who had a deeper message for those who did hear? Probably Petra. Stryper's message was always positive, but...

Re: Petra

If there was any "bulk" to "Petra's old fans," Petra would still be playing shows. I really disagree with that. I don't think the fans left Petra, I think Petra left the fans. Actually I never said what I think either way... all I intended to say was that the fanbase is not there for Petra. If the ...

Ahem. If there was any "bulk" to "Petra's old fans," Petra would still be playing shows.

(Granted, I've seen some old Petra fans that were REALLY bulky, but you know what I mean!)

not shipped yet

The CD I preordered from ChristianBook.com, with an "expected ship date" of YESTERDAY, is still backordered. Then again, I don't see a "buy" link on PetraMerchandise.com yet, either... is there some manufacturing or distribution problem happening?

helping

Guys, if you want to help John (and Bob as well), please purchase DIRECTLY from them at http://petramerchandise.com/ Hmm... Here's a question. My understanding is that CDs purchased directly from the artist are not counted in sales counts of CDs for SoundScan and what have you. Now, John seems to h...

Re: The Girls

As far as the girls go, I think one of the best female rock singers I have ever heard, Christian or otherwise is Sarah Tennison who sang on the Rock Power Praise albums and also did some BGV's for Petra. Sadly, I've never been able to find much else that she has done. I found this: Hello Forever by...
