The Petra Zone

Recently someone posted asking some peeps to modernize old Petra tunes...well I kinda figured out a way to do this. Using my Mac I EQed the original track and added some guitar tracks...it sounds really good (and rocking)! It may not be perfect quality, but its sure close, and definetly worth puttin...

does Houston count?

Hmmm...we'll here is what I have on vinyl, tape and cd:

Well, its not my band yet, the songs are just songs I wrote and played...I have full band audio on this site though, go to http://azusastreetministries.cjb.net Check out Hide...over the years Petra has been a huge part of my musical influences, though you really couldn't tell through this clip...let...

I love it. A very wide variety of music, something a lot of radio stations are missing. My only gripe is that in about three hours time, I've already heard nearly ten artists more than once, but it's great otherwise. Its a big variety yet you heard the same artists multiple times...ok...sorry had t...

I'm gonna try and get the Super S by the end of the year.

Ja, Ich will Petra saen...my spelling is bad in German, I mostly focus on how to say it.

Anyone actually own a Bob Hartman Guitar? I knew he was making a few of the Jekyll and Hyde models, but now he actually seems to have started a custom guitar business on the side and is actually working on a new Super S model. This model is supposed to be cheaper than the J&H. Hopefully I can afford...

All those bands sound the same...12 Stones, Kutless, and countless other clone bands (in my opinion) that aren't very original. As far as lyrics go, I can't judge. Your right though, cause Bob's playing isn't "spectacular" compared to say Phil Keaggy, Dave Bainbridge (of Iona) and I'm sure other fol...

I heard the 12 Stones cd at summer camp and I can honestly say that I could be 12 Stones guitar player now. Can't say the same about Petra. This is true with many bands now...There is no complexity. To me, 12 Stones is trash because they don't have their own sound. They aren't really original. Of co...

Well according to the legend, the lawsuit never went anywhere and was turned down very fast because it was obviously not going anywhere. Of course I don't know if there ever WAS a lawsuit, just saying what I've heard.

I'm just repeating what somebody, don't remember who, said a long time ago on the the old petra zone.

The song I believe he is reffering to is actually Seen and Not Heard by Petra (of course) and Heavens on Fire by Kiss. Kiss actually filed a lawsuit against Petra because the choruses have the exact same riffs (with exception of timing, HoF is a bit slower I believe), but the judge excused Petra bec...

Yes, John has a different voice, which DID fit the 80s style greatly, but the 80s are over. But its not the voice that made the 80s. The fact is, Petra is not playing 80s rock anymore. Now it DOES sound different then punk or pop-rock, and John's voice is different. However, if it is only different ...

Well, Keyboards are not the thing nowadays. I actually don't like them (without keyboards the Beyond Belief type sound would still be popular among alot of teens--I for one like the keyboard drop). As for the mix, I thought it was fine. However, if your used to the mix of Beyond Belief, then yes, th...
