The Petra Zone

I just finished talking on the phone with Michael, their manager. He gave full freedom to tell you this. 1. The tour starts in Louiville Kentucky Oct152010 2. John Schlitt is fine with eat, they are friends with him and even he told the possibility of doing guest appearances on select shows. 3. They...

Hey Brent, I have the prior PDC release with John Schlitt on vocals and it was great, but this new one you posted is a giant leap in performance and quality. I think it is way ahead of anything released for any current artist or band, great job! Who's the guitar player, he certainly gives Steve Vai ...

Enosh, you are my hero! No one could have said it better that you did! The Classic Petra version is what this franchise needs, we had 10 years of John Schllitt with 3 or 4 other guys, now I enjoyed the music but it was getting ridiculous with the firing of people left and right, there was no differe...

Great performance of Just Reach Out, John sounded great!

I am now at peace and understanding they chose the "Paul-Barnabas" route, which is Biblical.

I just find it hard to believe they chose this route, but it's in my selfish mind, that wants Petra forever.

I'll be Glad that we have the guys playing in different configurations now, and enjoy them.

You are right about the Paul and Barnabas thing. I understand. And just because David Gilmour and Roger Waters got together for the Money, all the Money in the World may not bring together Louie and John.

Hey I am the Guitar player in my Band, and have been in Bands since 1986, so i know about dynamics between, Members, and By the way David Gilmour and Rogers waters shared the stage for a set of Pink Floyd tunes during the Live 8 concerts, did't you see that, go youtube it.

I mean, how sad. Loiue is willing to tour with Classic Petra, but for the other Petra shows with John they have to get a hired gun. Louie already played with Greg Bailey, and is going to play with Bob, but is not hired for the John Schlitt Petra. They should call it " The II Guys with Greg Bailey Re...

Also Louie and John were not just any other member of Petra, they were key members for Many years, part of the core of what most people remember as Petra, and again I always thought of both, and still believe that they are trying to walk with God, it's just that after so many years together how come...

Still it would be a great show of humility and maturity if both John and Louie could share the same stage. In the meantime one of the two, or both are not being good examples to the people who hear their music. And don't tell me the rap that they are human, and "secular artists do this and that", be...

It's shameful that The Farewell Petra has to hire a fill-in drummer to play the festivals this year under the name of "Petra". Somebody is not forgiving the other, and I find that very un-Christian. Louie should be able to play with The Farewell Petra too. I heard John Schlitt on several concerts ov...

Isn't that Sword on the Logo the one that if you weild it you can slice the Fog with it?

Yeah!

This is incredible! This is so exciting! It's gonna be a blast! Thank you Lord Jesus for the blessing of having Petra!

I never had the chance to see the classic line-up in action, this will be a dream come true. I hope they start the tour in Florida? Je, Je, Je!

Other people felt it too, just read the posts. Now if Brent and Sue are cool with each other then that makes me feel better about the whole thing.

I am sorry if it looked out of line but i could not sense anything but resentment from Sue with every comment she made, and constant doubting.
