The Petra Zone

Funny... With the presence of "God Gave Rock And Roll To You" on the album being controversial, how much diff would titling the album the same make? Kinda like that song "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?". lol... the reprise got one vote so far. :D I think I'm gonna relisten to a few so...

Well with the recent closing of Petra's music ministry I thought it'd be kind of cool to start a series of polls on favorite songs. Starting with their first album and working to the last. I figured I'd do an album each week. So for those interested, get out your petra CD's and start listening. Voti...

ok voting is done and the poll for the next album "Come and Join Us" will be up soon. Thank you loyal petheads for voting. For anyone late to the game feel free to vote if your up to it. We still have plenty of albums to go. :D Whoops seem the poll is autoclosed (forgot about that)... If there are a...

I take it people have never read past liner notes by bob before...

Nice, but I've never been a big fan of Bob's liner notes. If you know what I mean.

Yeah I kinda knew that not ALL of the songs were sung by hartman but since my CD of this album contains no info except who wrote it.

Unfortunately I only have "Come and Join Us" on tape. I really need to get around to getting the CD cause I kinda like it.

Well my take on keyboards. I've never really considered myself much a purist when it comes to music style. Personally the more "pure" a song is usually the less I like it. Although I would consider myself a die hard rocker in a sense. I prefer it when groups "mix it up", and that includes synthesize...

Just checking in on the poll. Things seem to be going well. Cool. It's fun to see what other people consider to be their favorite songs by a particular group compared to mine. I'll tally it up on thurs (at midnight or later) and create one for their 2nd album. I agree though. The hardest adjustment ...

ok. thanks for the info.

I've always liked the guitar sound in BTS, but I guess that is just me.

I don't know much about guitars and the different effects available, etc.

I must be missing something. The "jesus loves you" solo on the farewell cd was not even close to the original CITAS version. In fact a good part of it was not even in the same key. Everything about it to me just seemed "off". I heard he had technical difficulties that night, so maybe that had someth...

I thought about going to this one, assuming it was not cancelled. I wonder if there are still tickets available. Problem is I have mixed feelings about petra retiring. Although it would be cool to see Greg X. Volz (assuming he is still on the tour). I have never seen him in concert. My first petra c...

Bob played the Roland GX-707 guitar with synth module on the BTS songs also. The 707 was doomed the day that it left the production line. A friend of mine was a beta tester for it, since he made guitars for Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa and Joe Satriani, they wanted his input. He used i...
