The Petra Zone

My favorite song on the album, hands down, is "Underneath the Blood". I'll never forget the first time I heard it. It came on the radio, they didn't yet say who the artist was, but as soon as I heard the opening riffs, I just KNEW it was Petra! And with the thundering bass, I was wasn't a bit surpri...

Too true, greenchili. That's the main reason I was so excited about these videos. It hard to find live footage with Ronny on it. He had such a great stage presence, as well as being an excellent musician. (And I think Shell and Elo will back me up when I say that he's pretty darn cute, too. :D LOL)....

trodLAN,

Thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCH for these videos!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this, and sharing these gems with us. God bless you!

With Beyond Belief being my favorite, Unseen Power is a close second. The drums and basslines are very metalish That's one reason I love this album so much, the fact that the drums and bass are so metal. It's hard to pick one favorite song, so I'd have to say it's a tie between "Sight Unseen" and "I...

Ronny and Louie have posted here several times. Lonnie used to post waaaaay back in the day, as well as Trent Thomason. Oh, and I think Paul has posted here, too, but I could be wrong.

Oh, I could go on and on and on for years talking about Beyond Belief . It's my absolute favorite album of all time, of anyone. My favorite song is "Beyond Belief", with "I Am on the Rock" as a close second. This album is pure perfection. It's got the perfect mix of all the instruments, and the bgv'...

(I've been trying to find that Continentals album with "Nero" on it for years!) Oh my, what a blast from the past! My brother toured with the Continentals as their drummer. I remember that song "Nero"---they all donned sunglasses when they sang it. LOL I remember thinking that was so cool back then...

The On Fire Video Event features comments from the guys in between videos. The Wake-Up Call video has interviews with the guys in between videos as well. They're definitely worth getting. And I think it's high time I dusted mine off and watched them again!

Yeah, that's right, although Jody's child is a daughter named Bethany.

I don't know about a caption, but I think Johnny fell asleep while listening to John talk about his Head East days.

Sue,

Here is a link that Tina posted about herself in the off topic forum. http://thepetrazone.net/viewtopic.php?t=2914 Not everyone is able to use proper spelling and grammar. Tina does the best she can.

Paul is my favorite drummer, too! (C'mon Shell, go ahead and say it, you know you wanna say it---Paul's cute). LOL @ MJ when he sees this.

It's great that Rex Carroll is back. Man, what a guitar player! Whitecross without Rex is like Petra without Bob. I can see how Whitecross would sound totally different without Rex. He has a very distinctive sound. His playing is so fluid. It actually reminds of a cross between Bob and Tony Palacio...

Okay, I know this topic's a little old, but I have to say that after all these years of listening to Christian rock and being a serious metalhead, I just "discovered" Whitecross. For some reason, I always thought I didn't like them...probably because the only songs of theirs I had heard were ballads...

Ronny played in his high school's jazz band, as well as being in other bands with his friends, during high school. Some of his friends that he played with were Geof Barkley and Roscoe Meek, both of whom went on the play with Geoff Moore and the Distance. Geof also went on the play keys for Third Day...
