Re: why is no one discussing the '82 shows?

A lot of this is been leaked by Stephen Yake over on his FB page. There’s also some information in a podcast in the new material stream of this messaging board. From what I can gather a new project to help celebrate the 50th anniversary is in the works. As usual, there’s plenty of talk without a lo...

Great "Beyond Belief" cover

Is it still a cover when it features two of the guys from the original? Anyway, John Schlitt and John Lawry team up with metal vocalist extraordinaire Dan Vasc for a killer cover of the song "Beyond Belief": https://youtu.be/4f1pqO0APc4?si=EVUjM8f--yXo3Cw4 And then I found Vasc's version of "Amazing...

Re: why is no one discussing the '82 shows?

You know how to get people discussing a topic on a message board? You start a thread about it. :lol:

Maybe post some links to the videos, too.

Re: New Material

Well, that's your opinion and you know mine. Awesome. If what you're saying is true, then you'll have no problem with buying the CD and ripping it to FLAC so that I can have the media I'd prefer. It is true. FLAC and CD audio are identical. And you seem to have misunderstood me. I'm not against a p...

Re: Best Logo?

I've always loved the sword logo. It along with the guitar ship album covers was Petra's visual identity in the early 1980s.

Re: New Material

I have a high quality digital audio player, and I love being able to carry literally my entire music collection in one hand, or being able to instantly find any album I wish to listen to in seconds on my computer. I still buy the occasional CD, but I never listen to them directly. They get ripped to...

It might be cheaper but a CD is much better IMO.
"Much better" in what way? In terms of sound quality, which is all I care about, there's zero difference between CD audio and lossless FLAC.

Re: How do I purchase a Bob Hartman Guitar?

He used to sell them on his website, but it doesn't look like he has any at the moment.

You could always try emailing him.

From what I heard, they are still looking for a studio or distributer for a CD. Many are not willing to pick them up, maybe for a lack of total sales. A video will likely be easier from all the concert footage taken.
Forget about a CD. They should do a digital only release. Much cheaper.

Re: New Material

Did we ever get an update on this topic, or is their Fifty anniversary album the "new material?" I hope a compilation is not all we get, but honestly, I'm going to assume new material is not happening until we hear something concrete, like Bob or John saying, "We are in the studio, right now, recor...

Re: analysis: Why do we stop exploring new music as we get older?

To be honest, lyrics in popular music, secular or Christian, are rarely great, so I don't pay much attention to them, but I think music is greater than the sum of its parts, so I can still enjoy it even if some of the individual pieces may be mediocre. That said, two lyricist I particularly enjoy a...

Re: petra album "beyond belief" vinyl record?

Give Discogs.com a look. But understand that vinyl is considered "collectible" these days and people are asking stupid money for used records.
