Re: NEWS at LAST!
I'll be going. It's just over an hour from where I live and it's free...which is about the only way I get to go to concerts these days. Be interesting to see what they sound like ten years after their last "tour."

Re: Band Comments On Petra - what have you heard?
John Cooper, lead vocalist/bass player/primary songwriter and founder of Skillet, claims Petra as one of his primary musical influences, as well (along with Bon Jovi).

Re: Top 5 songs with Greg
Not really old enough to remember Greg X. Volz when he was actually with Petra (I think he left in '85, so I would have been 4). So, in terms of songs of his that I like the best (in no order):
Adonai (BTTR)
It Is Finished
Hollow Eyes
Clean (BTTR)
Grave Robber

Re: Top 5 Favorite Petra Songs with John
I don't know that I could pick five, but the ones that stand out to me - for personal reasons - are
Think Twice
In The Likeness of You
St. Augustine's Pears
Love
Everything else is very, very good - but these four songs have personal meaning to me.

Re: Classic Petra Equipment Rider
The differences are like driving a kia vs a ferrari And how many people do you know that could in any rational way justify owning a Ferrari over a Kia? Both will get you from point A to point B without difficulty. The Ferrari may turn more heads, but the Kia is no slouch, either (depending on model...

Re: Classic Petra Equipment Rider
what happens with a les paul guitar as well as with a fender strat is that these are designs that stood thetest of time. every guitar manifacture today have to base their designs on either a les paul or a strat, or a mix of both. I love my les paul feel in my hands way better than the prs feels. it...

Re: Classic Petra Equipment Rider
Most music shops would be able to provide that equipment or it's equivalent for a night on rent for a good price (my guess - 2-4K based on the rental prices here), though the concert promoter would probably have to buy the drum heads, guitar strings, and sticks straight up. You can't resell those th...

Re: Full Concerts for IPOD MP4 Download!!!!!!!!!
This is completely Illegal! Petra clearly said not to distribute officially released material, and you are posting the complete Farewell and CITAS DVDs for download. Please removed all these, this just hurts the band. This. Also, I know members of Skillet personally. I'm sure they'd be THRILLED (sa...

Re: "The Greater Cause" - John's New CD
If I were rich, I'd fund the remainder of the project myself as a "thank you" for the influence Petra had on my life as a kid in the '90's. HOWEVER, I am but a poor school teacher/occasional musician. I'll look to pledge something before the deadline, but I don't have the resources to go to the heav...

Re: Radio Stations playing Back To The Rock
Gotta say...not a fan of WBGL in Champaign, IL. They play far more "programs" and commercials than they do actual music - something like a 2 to 1 ratio in terms of minutes. They'll play three songs over the course of 10 minutes and then spend 15 - 20 minutes NOT playing music. It also amazes me that...

Re: BTTR Part 2 and 3 Track List Speculation?
Don't suppose they have any plans to release this album for digital download somewhere, do they? Well "Back to the Rock" was released as a digital download first on ClassicPetra.com I'm sure once the 2nd and 3rd albums are finished they too will be up for sale on ClassicPetra.com as a digital downl...
