The Petra Zone

same reason no one is arguing that they should have included the studio produced "Praise Medley" from the "Power Praise" compilation...

After 40 years and 25 albums or whatever, can't everyone just agree that you can't make everyone happy when it comes to choosing 30 songs? Many of my favorites are left off too. But that's certainly not the reason I'm not going to buy it. I think it's a fine collection for *new* fans (if there are a...

Excerpt from the CM Central review of Farewell: "Unfortunately, the modern renditions aren't quite as crisp or punchy as they've been in the past. Sure, the music holds strong, but Schlitt's vocals have all but given out from underneath him and, though he holds things together for the most part, the...

can't get a pic together, but it's simple to describe. dark brown (or black) with the logo on it. instead of saying "Come and Join Us" in the scroll part of the logo, it says "Est. 1972." The logo is centered and has a "vintage" feel to it. I don't know how else to describe it, sorry. I was actually...

It's a different kind of concert review... on my blog:

Enjoy.

Yep...I have heard that if you don't fit the "look" they won't even sign you as an artist. I know a guy and his band...EXCELLENT guitar player, but some of them were a little on the heavy side, but man could they play...Forefront told them, well we'll sign you, but we can't print any pictures of wh...

Agreed. I'd rather they dropped that one instead of one of Bob's solos or perhaps, "I am a C-..."

so Chris, why is it that you think they are retiring? God said so. If they came out with a statement that said, "guys, we have had a good time with Petra, and now we are just tired of doing it." Then ok, you might have a point. But I don't think John or Bob either one really wants Petra to be over....

Well said crossways I feal exlatly the same way. My husband most likley would have never came to the Lord without Never Say Die. He thought he would have to give up his rock. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who probabaly would have NEVER have herd about Jesus and never though someone ...

When you have spent the last 10, 15, 20, and some folks 30+ years listening to this powerful music and eagerly anticipating each release and tour, it becomes very hard to imagine that "the new Petra cd" won't be coming out next year. Mark me down for 18 years... However, if I had announced my retir...

can't we just let Petra break up and not worry about "what's next for the band members?" I would be perfectly happy to never hear about John or Bob, just so long as they're home with their families, being fathers and husbands, ministering at their church and relaxing. Many bands break up and go abou...

LAME!
Is anyone else disapointed they didn't do "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" I thought that song was sure-fire since Greg would be making an appearance...

I know I don't post a lot on the board. I'm just very excited that after being a fan for about 12 years, I get the opportunity to see Petra live since they're coming out west. And wouldn't you know. Just after I moved AWAY from Salt Lake, they'll be playing there for what is probably the first time ...

i know... how about a plan black cover with the title of the CD in script writing. Wait... already been done
