The Petra Zone

Did my eyes decieve me or did I actually read in the article on PETRA ROCKS MY WORLD that the audience capacity was 500??????????? I could get more to a concert of my grandmother knitting a pair of socks!! Why such a small number??? Is it something to do with better sound quality for recording or so...

Hi guys, long time no see! Please excuse my ignorance if this has been up for discussion earlier as I've been out of the loop for a while, but where has Louies' web site gone?? It says that "This domain may be for sale by its owner!" Is Louie just changing his site or is he giving it up all together??

Now that there will be no new studio album (barring a much prayed for miracle and Petra changing their minds and not retiring :D ), what happens to the songs that they were working on :? ?? Will John to use them in his solo career? Does Bob give them to another up and comming artist to help kickstar...

Micah, It would be unreal if a young group of christian rockers that had the same style as Petra could as you say, keep the style alive. A band that had enough guts to be completely upfront with their christian beliefs in their lyrics and in their lives. Any of you guys here at the Zone who are in a...

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I am sad. On Thursday I will be officially sad. God bless the band members (past and present), and their families (for unselfishly sharing them with us). Even though we all knew it would happen eventually, it still hurts to think they...

I do wish there were more songwriters like Bob. I love both his style of music and theological depth. I don't like "feel-good" type songs with silly lyrics. Amen, Micah. :D There is none better than Bob IMO. May he write songs 'till he's 150. Actually, while we're at it, may John sing songs 'till h...

Does anybody know where Idle Cure went?? Ive been a fan since the late 80's and they rocked (my second favourite, behind Petra of course).
Much to my surprise , I haven't been able to find any websites about them apart from album lists. Anybody know of one? Anyone.....anyone...

While I might be at risk of sounding like a certain bot roaming around the zone at the moment, I totally agree with most of you who don't think it would be a good idea to do a live album. Especially comming off Jekyll and Hyde. They have won a lot of the younger generation over with that album. I th...

Hi Ross,

Finally found someone who's newer to the zone than I am (even if it is only by one day).
Welcome to the gang & have fun!

Where are the reports of them doing another live album? Jonathan, In the "Petra to retire?" thread, Arni of Braquet says "About a new album, I spoke to John several times and he kept mentioning a live cd they have been wanting to do for years. They want to do it this year. They wanted to do a live ...

Alright!!!!! Can't wait to hear them!

I thought it would be interesting to hear others' thoughts on what direction you would go if you were given the awesome priviledge and responsibility of producing Petras next album. I have a feeling most of you would push the "ROCK" feel, as I definately would. As much as I absolutely adore each of ...

Enosh mate! I'm so jealous. I wish I could say I had enough talent to be able to even consider to play in a band with John. I personally couldn't chose between the two. I think I would follow both as I love both. Do we have to choose one or the other?? I think I'll sit on the fence on this one :roll...

Hi Enosh, Our prayers are with you buddy! Get well soon. There's no place safer than in the hands of the Father. You can't loose. Nothing that Satan can throw in your way to try and trip you up, can take your joy and assurance away. Nothing! Take it easy for a while would you and keep us updated "af...

Enosh, My name is Wayne and am new to the zone. Neither of us knows the other just yet but we are brothers with the most loving, powerful and awesome Father in the universe. How did the scan and the operation go? My father a year ago was diagnosed with prostate cancer and this obviously put a shudde...
