Re: John Schlitt Hallelujah Chorus............

I agree that song rocks big time. I play it twice before I listen to the rest of the album. Put a Christmas CD together with the Christmas Project, Whitehearts "Little Drummer Boy", Anberlins "Baby Please Come Home", Petras "Marys Song". Have played the first song for several people who didn't know ...

Re: DREAM TEAM REUNION ANNOUNCED...you read correctly

I can't wait to hear more details on this event. These five guys have done more for my life than they will ever know, not to mention millions of others. This reunion, although small, is a truly blessed event and I'm sure I will have a hard time from getting emotional when I watch it. I would do anyt...

Re: DREAM TEAM REUNION ANNOUNCED...you read correctly

Even if it is just for one song, I'm stoked about this. It will be so good to see the five of them on stage, I can't imagine how happy they will be performing as I'm sure by now they have all put any negativity that is between them, behind them. They may not do a tour (or maybe, you never know) but ...

Re: New Schlitt-Sekulow-Elefante-Lawry video: Fooling Yourse

Beautiful! My wife overheard the song and says "That sounds like Styx!".

Nice job, John x 3, Jay and the rest of the band. I would really like to buy an album of the covers you do. So good to see John Lawry involved, truly talented. Goes without saying for the rest of the guys.

Awesome!

Re: Hold your head up

Man, these guys are GOOD! So good to see John L. involved to boot. If they did a cover song album, I would totally buy it.

Nice work John, John, John, Jay and the rest of the band!

Can't wait to see a Journey or Van Halen cover. ;-)

Re: Petra Is Done

Brent, when you say they will never be on the same stage together, are you able to fill us in on why? I'm sure there is more water under the bridge since the original incident, and PDC, but I'm nowhere near an expert either. ;-)

Cool story about lunch and them shaking hands.

I got my Christmas Project CD in the mail!

I ordered my copy of John's CD in December. Living in Canada, I didn't expect it until after Christmas and it just arrived today. What was really cool, was the name for the senders signature was: "John W Schlitt". I showed it to my wife and her eyes lit up and she said "Wow!". I'm totally keeping th...

Re: Poll: Back to the Street (1986)

I also agree that this album was greatly underrated. I voted for Altar Ego as well. Used to listen to this in the car back in the early 90's and just was in awe with almost every song. Fools Gold also makes me sing along. Was probably a good one for John as it was the first one that was "his" so to ...

Re: "THE CHRISTMAS PROJECT - UP CLOSE & PERSONAL" Video Even

Man, that dude can still SING!!!!! I was skeptical when I heard the studio version of this song that there was some Autotune work here, but clearly he is doing it himself. Truly a God-given talent. Nice work John! That is probably the best I've ever heard him sing, and I've seen him live four times ...

Re: John Schlitt - Take Me Home (Music Video)

Way to go John! Nice work, where do I begin? From a film-making perspective, this is brilliant work. The writing is superb, and is probably one of the most edgy Christian music videos I have seen in a long time. This is the kind of thing that will get out to the masses and get people thinking. Great...

Re: Very funny Petra/Louie story - John Interview

Hey Sue, I did buy the Back to the Street DVD and it arrived last week. I really enjoyed it and had some good laughs too. Hilarious the difference between how the guys made their beds. What really impressed me, was the care the Elefante brothers took to ensure every word, phrase, etc. sounded the ab...

Re: Very funny Petra/Louie story - John Interview

After watching that video, I can see why he threw it away. Poor editing, no real storyline or plot whatsoever. It was good to see some footage of the guys in the band from that era though.

Lots of problems with that film.

Holy Soldier - Dead End Drive Music Video.

Hi Everyone, Last summer I took part in the making of an impaired driving music video called using the song "Dead End Drive" by Holy Soldier. I was the Associate Producer, Stunt Co-ordinator, Stunt Driver and even the Stunt Double for the main actor. The car in the film is my 68 Mercury Cyclone. It ...
