The Petra Zone

So one guy already quit?

Hey Sue. I am trying to buy stuff from Petra and John but neither of their Web Shops work. We're can I get the stuff, like the Back To The Street DVD?
?

Hey John, remember to "Hold fast your confidence!"

John, we are extremely privileged to have you here. Please don't take it personal. I myself asked on a post "Is this the John Slick", because I thought you were very distant from your Petra past as I have read here in the Zone over the years. But the detail of your knowledge of the Band is obviously...

You are right John, but setting a blaze a fire, for the battle of the ages.

Pretty interesting John. More on the Count Basie story please. Also, have you listened to any other of the Petra albums produced after your departure, and what would your assessment be of the evolution of the sound of the band and their musicianship?? Thanks!

I am extremely interested in any musical details, yes sir. Also any key moments on the road and in the studio with my favorite band, like the bat in the studio story or the one about the portable keyboard that u made that blew up the chip. All cool stuff. I was able to meet Greg and Mark on the Clas...

John, do you realize how important your contribution to PETRA was, and how many lives were touched by your music and brought to Christ?? Before you joined Petra was clueless and ready to breakup with no direction, no steady membership, no record company. Then you show up and we have a real band that...

So Mark did not play Bass on NOTW John?

Another question. Of the 3 albums you worked on, do you remember on which ones did Louie Weaver actually play drums on and which ones had only pre recorded drum sounds?

Have you talked to your former band mates since you left the band? According to your name here in the zone MPTY is your favorite album, right? Also, we're you a fan of Petra before you joined? And how did you join Petra?? How did the stars align for that to happen?

John, no rambling at all. I love the explanations. And you are right on point. I was always so proud of Petra because I could hear the leap of improvement with each new release. It was always with huge anticipation that I awaited every new Petra record because I knew you guys would blow our minds. B...

Hey John, just curious. Could you tell us how guys came up with the concept of the Petra sound and set up as we know it now. I am asking because Petra did not have a defined sound until you arrived. PeTra even sounded a little Disco just 2 years before Never Say Die in 1979. Do you know what I mean?

Hi John. Thank for being here! We miss you. I see what u are saying. What I meant to say was that at least in my eyes, Petra became a cohesive unit when you joined the band. The Petra sound and concept that I think worked the best through their 40 plus years has always been Guitars, Drum, Bass, a br...

Is this the: JOHN SLICK posting????? The founding father of the Petra sound we all know well and we all love????
