The Petra Zone

Should we even lable a band as "Christian"? 1. God said the world would know us by our love, and by our actions. Do we need to wear it on our sleeve and write it on our cd cases? (I say this even though I am in a band that very much uses those lables) 2. If we lable a band "Christian" do we stop an...

Your best rock band is Trooper anyway.

Dude, our best rock band is sooo Big Sugar. Or early Hip.

What about Our Lady Peace?

Meh.

Big Sugar is still better. Especially Hemi-Vision.

So I take that to mean Black Sabbath are not metal either in your estimation...? Heavy Metal as a term was around by the end of the 60's. (Born to be Wild, etc) Metal bands would be Ratt, Twisted Sister, Poison, They are 80's metal. Metal's roots go back further than that...perhaps one might now cal...

I hope it's alright for me to do this since I have horned in on this forum tonight, writing shockingly long posts after dropping off the planet earlier and abandoning the project which was the reason I joined in the first place (it'll happen some day, just a less stressful day). heh run-on sentence....

Hey, I know this is a little old but I am only a marginal lurker... Maybe I can help a little bit, as I have read a fair amount on both sides of this debate. There seems to be roughly two schools of thought in the anti-CCM camp. The first is the one which believes that the music is evil, that there ...

The entire first album. Especially Gonna Fly Away.
And most of the second album.

Those are among my favorites. Every other Petra fan I've known has argued like heck with me over this... most of them seem to really really hate them.

Hey, lurker chiming in if that's okay: :) This conversation just reminded me of something my brother used to say to me about Petra back in the day. 'That band plays 70's metal.' He, a metal fan, insisted that was what they played. Yeah maybe some modern tunes and ideas, but at it's heart, 70's metal...

Coo-el! I really appreciate your contribution and all of the helpful posts! I do have another question; I know there are other petra message boards, and I considered posting this to them, but then I thought that might be over kill-I don't know, is it all kind of the same people? Or would I perhaps g...

but i would need to draw it on the same way you do No you don't have to draw in the same way/style as I do! It doesn't need to be in colour, and you do not neccessarily have to include the name of the song or any words in the piece-as long as you let me know which songs the pieces represent, so I k...

Me too. Does that mean you'd like to try your hand at your own rendition?

Thanks for responding! Yeah I know all about the copyright thing...it took me several months to receive permission for another art project from the international bible society-Which has kind of made me wary of even bothering with the hassle of getting permission for lyrics. Of course it will probabl...

Hey all, I'm new too and wanna play! :D Name: Char Age: 26 in a week Location:The Rez (Saskatchewan-Canada) My favorite petra albums are the really old ones. I know no one else in the WORLD likes them-but I love the blues heart that the first one has. It's a true roots album. Favorite song has alway...

Hello everybody! (hi dr. Nick) I am completely new here, and I hope I'm not overstepping any rules. Well if so the moderator can always erase this! :D I was looking for Petra lyrics at the guide to petra site, and came upon this message board-I thought maybe some of you petheads out there would like...
