The Petra Zone

I think I posted this on another thread at another time. but I agree the band should have called it quits after Wake Up Call. To this day I am still not a fan of this album, or little else the band released after it. I thought the production of WUC was kinda sub par given the glossy productions of t...

Hey Matthew!

Tambourine man is Scotty. My brother and a bunch of his biker buddies know him - he's a "special" guy. Don't know if you noticed some of his props while the bands were playing...

Well it was an experience, that's for sure. Bob Hartman couldn't make the concert. John told the crowd why, but I couldn't hear - I think he said something about flooding in Atlanta...? Anyway, someone handled the guitars on the opening track, J and H, and it rocked. I could tell that the person pla...

I'm going to see the guys in Ottawa on October 12.

Can someone give me an idea as to the set list?

Also, are they selling and merchandise at the shows?

Swe-e-e-e-e-e-t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot wait!

Matthew - are you going? Maybe we could hook up!

I really liked the solo intro on Underground from Beyond Belief.

It's really simple, but really clean and crisp.

Sorry if I came off as sarcastic. Truly, none was meant and I am sorry if I came accross that way. Have you ever bought used music online? There's an excellent website at www.crossingmusic.com. I have purchased many a used CD from them at really great prices. I've also downloaded TONS of music at iT...

Well is it very clear to me from reading messages from Brent and others in the "business, puke" that the record companies could give 2 crappers about spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To them its all about what sells. They have to make money. Why is this a bad thing? How else are they going to ...

Hey gang! Long time no chat! I got this month's issue of GQ and there was an article about the Creation Festival. The author went down to check out what all this Christian rock fuss was about. Sure enough, Petra was mentioned (at pretty great length) and there's a pic of John rocking out. The articl...

I finally got through to Scott Wenzel last night! Justin Murr (a MILLION THANK YOUS, JUSTIN!) at 3chordrecords called me to let me know Scott wanted to talk about the website so I gave him a call. He seems like a real down to earth kind of guy and was really excited to know that people still care ab...

Seriously, it has to be that someone over there doesn�t like rock music. I mean, come on � music itself is evil? Please. I have read a lot of people who don�t like the beat in rock music. But even their old hymns follow a beat, it�s only accentuated in rock music. And perhaps it should be po...

Hey Monster, you're doing a great job for a great band! I've never heard the post Rex Whitecross. I'll admit, Rex Carroll has ALWAYS amazed me with his musical talents. Simply one of the world's greatest guitarists, period. Oh, boy! You really need to get out and get their MEGA 3 collection - it ha...

Did you ever get anthing back from Jenelle Duldulao out of Saratoga, California regarding her Christian music bashing site?

Just curious...

Thanks for the offers to help. I actually have a full discography and whatever lyrics I couldn't find on the net I actually typed myself (and believe me - I have the wrists to prove I couldn't find many online!) I have been in touch with Quinton and Troy from the last lineup and I have a small Q & A...
