The Petra Zone

Amen! My thoughts exactly. These guys have been trying to sell the same act for 10 years. Enough already. Classic Petra was the only fresh thing Petra has done in a decade and when you consider they were using mostly old songs, that's really saying something about how stale Farewell Petra is at this...

That wasn't my point at all. My point was that as a singer (generally speaking) Greg has more ability to pull it off now than John does. Greg has no problem singing the Classic songs, even if they are tuned down a bit, he still pulls it off well. So yes, he has lost some range, but then again, his r...

This is one of the reasons that I think they were better off doing the Classic Petra thing, not only because Greg has retained much more singing ability than John has, but also because they actually had a full band of well known and appreciated Petra members. But alas, for whatever reasons, that I n...

It's photos they are using in the promotional materials. Just look at the Facebook page and you should see what I'm talking about. Look at the promotion being used for the show in Brooklyn Park, MN. It's the same picture as is being used for the Facebook icon. There is another picture on the Faceboo...

I'm not saying that Farewell Petra isn't Petra, I'm just saying it's being promoted in a dishonest way. Using that name for the tour and promoting it with the pictures they are using is just flat out wrong. You could say it's just the promoters, but one of the pictures I'm referring to is even being...

Personally, I think this tour is being promoted in a deceptive way. There are two shows right now in MN and I could have taken in one or both, but the promotions I've seen are using pictures of Classic Petra and John Schlitt Petra with the Classic guys. They don't seem to want to be honest about the...

Well, for my involvement in all of this I am just going to say that I find it very interesting that Sue has not stepped up to confirm or answer any of the questions I posed to her. When you have people like Brent and Exe out there spreading gossip, it would seem to me to be the better part of decenc...

Exactly. I have the same concerns.

Sue, The words "kicked to the curb" had to do with the way I feel fans of Classic Petra have been ignored through this whole process. It was not a reference to Bob moving on to do something else.Yes, I do believe some kind of explanation would be in order. I seem to recall you being rather annoyed w...

And I might add that the only people who have behaved like they were high and mighty and in all honesty, like immature school children have been you and Exe.

Bob knows full well that a lot of people are greatly disappointed by the way things have turned out, giving people a decent explanation, so the rumor mill doesn't go crazy thanks to people like you and Exe, would just be the decent thing to do. And I'm sorry, but I'm not wrong about that. Exe never ...

And there goes more gossip. You two are quite a pair. But go ahead and gloat. Get your jollies at others expense. It just confirms to me the kind of people you are.

Exe, stop being such a gossip. It's sad that Classic Petra has been kicked to the curb and quite frankly I think the saddest thing of all is how disrespectfully the fans of Classic Petra have been treated. Basically being told nothing official about the fate of the band after having been promised so...

There is reference to "the project"..... what project?

It's not bad, but kind of has that Michael Sweet solo album kind of sound rather than a Stryper kind of sound.
