The Petra Zone

I do wonder what he looks like though...

Since most of the Petra guys went bald, I chose an appropriate picture for my avatar.

f) Probably has unique authentic Petra memorabilia.

Here's an idea to settle the debate: post a picture of yourself holding said memorabilia.

Would memorabilia from eBay be acceptable?

Voting for 100% yes. I was having this email conversation with John Slick years ago (perhaps about 10 years) that was supposed to become a published interview on one of the Petra sites, but it never materialized. Some of the stuff that jmslick has posted is very similar to what I talked about with ...

Here's another poll. Select all which you believe to be true. Post your answers on this thread. Your mileage may vary. This guy posting as Slick: 01) Is authentic. 02) Has a vivid imagination. 03) Probably helped load the truck. 04) Has no need to prove anything to anyone. 05) Presents his posts wi...

Pretty bored tonight, so adding this lyrical suggestion. I used to think of "More Power To Ya" as "More Woofer Tweeter". Do you think I could start a Christian band and hit the Big Thyme? I could probably get an old green laser from Servant and burn more holes in the projection screen... that should...

John, I saw you wrote this on another thread... Whadayamean, top 5, bottom 5 Petra albums? I never heard of any other Petra albums but these three... 1 MPTY 2 NOTW 3 NSD You mean to tell us that during your time in the band, especially when you guys were opening for Servant in 1982, you guys weren'...

In the grand scheme of things, this Classic version was in a more hostile environment, playing music that was a bit out there. The Schlitt version started with John jumping on the surf board from a helicopter while it was on the top of the wave. Eventually that wave pushed the board to shore. The g...

Whadayamean, top 5, bottom 5 Petra albums? I never heard of any other Petra albums but these three... 1 MPTY 2 NOTW 3 NSD ...which ought to be preserved in the Smithsonian, and the National Archives. Are you sure that any other "Petra" recordings weren't some other band trying to copy Petra? Maybe s...

However, I recall that the backwards voice joke was my idea; maybe I recall wrong: JDB: "Mine. John Slick did the voice. I wrote the line. "What are you lookin' for the devil for when you ought to be lookin' for the LORD." Hmm. I guess I always assumed that was Bob's voice. I'll never forget when m...

http://guidetopetra.com/JDB/jdbpetra.htm John, I don't know if you have seen this. Had not seen that. It was nice to read JDB's gracious explanation of the drummer topic. However, I recall that the backwards voice joke was my idea; maybe I recall wrong: JDB: "Mine. John Slick did the voice. I wrote...

You are going too far there. Louie chose to be a hired gun, all the back to the Star Song days. He is the one member who held out when the band and Star Song developed an owner/share arrangement. Now, when it comes to writing, Louie had nothing to do with that. Publishing has nothing to do with how...

So today I was listening to Not of This World , and I wanted to ask you about the interesting bass solo/instrumental break on "Blinded Eyes." That's something very unique and not heard on any other Petra album before or after. In fact, on Captured in Time & Space in 1986, everyone is given a solo e...

Mark played all bass on NSD, MPTY, NOTW.

Brent, that all makes sense now. In the TBN show, Greg is sprinting like an Olympian up and down the stage set, "singing" perfectly all the way. I noticed that he sounded quite good for a 60+ old time doing all that running, but it didn't occur to me that he was using tracks. I only watched short se...

Have you guys noted how little tom fills Louie is doing. It almost sounds like he east asked just to keep the back beat steady and stay put I think the reason he didn't play aggressively on the CP tour was because he was playing to tracks... I read a Youtube post somewhere, that someone suggested t...
