Favorite John Schlitt(solo) album?
I know only those who have heard the FULL third album can choose it (ahem... SUE!!!(lol)) In my opinion, count Vertical Expressions as a solo album since it was done independently. But truthfully which was your favorite album? I like Shake ten times better than Unfit for Swine. The sound quality was better and the style and song structure was more to my style. Also if you listen to the last 10 seconds of the last song on Unfit for Swine, you can hear John say, "They'll think I'm off my rocker..." Has anyone else noticed this? Just wondering. Anyother opinions and why?

Shake. It was good enough to be a Petra album. There isn't even a contest in my mind.

If you like Petra you might like my music. You can download it free.

Nothing against UNFIT FOR SWINE, but I like SHAKE better. I love how "Wake The Dead" starts out all mellow, then pauses for a second before hitting you with that monstrous riff. Extremely heavy song...John should use that to open his solo shows (*hint hint*). I will go absolutely bonkers if he plays it live.

ahem... ahem..... yes, I'll admit it - I'm one of the privileged few to have heard all three.
I have to correct you, Freak, on the statement at the end of "Don't Have to Take It."
Here's a little snipet from an interview we have on the site, explaining:
As far as a favorite album... I honestly can't pick one. Each one has it's own merits... how about this: I LOVE 'EM ALL!
I have to correct you, Freak, on the statement at the end of "Don't Have to Take It."
Here's a little snipet from an interview we have on the site, explaining:
John HAS used Wake the Dead as his opening song... it does pack quite a wallop!"Incidentally, I�m not over the hill," he quoted himself.
"Yeah," I said. "What prompted that?"
"Well," he began, "with Petra being as old as it is, and me being as old as I am, I think a lot of times there are people that want us out of the way. Let�s put it this way: In the music business, especially in what we do, �old� is not good. And we are old, and I�m old, for what I do. And David (Huff), my producer, was saying �You know, I was talking with so-and-so and telling him I was doing your solo record, and he said, "What are you doing with him? He�s over the hill!" I said, �Oh, he did, huh?�
So later when I started singing �Don�t Have to Take It,� which is absolutely about as �in� as you can get - this song was really kickin� � at the ending I�m just messing around and I said, �And incidentally, I�m not over the hill.� David thought that was the coolest thing, so he left it on."
