Regarding Louie!
John does not even talk to him and John said it has been a while with Ronny! So dont expect Louie playing Drums and by sound of it dont epect a reunion either.

I thought Josh from petrarocksmyworld.com mentioned on a post that Petra sold 40K of Revival and 40-45k of J&H. He would have to clarify that of course. I may be mistaken, it was a few years ago.
Yes, I did get album sales information from Inpop in May 2005:

* Revival- 49890
* Jekyll & Hyde - 45324
* Jekyll & Hyde En Espanol - 434

The numbers would be higher now, five years later, but I have no idea how much higher.

Thanks Josh. I thought you discussed this with us a while back. BTW, I visited your site a few days ago and I found out my account wasn't available anymore. I guess I have to redo it again. Take care. :)

I have been having a small but steady stream of spambots registering accounts on the messageboard, so I've been deleting accounts that I'm uncertain about.

If you create a new one, make sure to post something legit, that way I'll know not to mess with you. :)

Completely.
Heaven may be the only place to see/hear Louie and Ronnie with Petra again. I would be willing to bet my right foot that this will never happen on earth. RIP dream team.

You cannot pull what does not want to be pulled. That's all I will say about that whole situation.

Will the truth ever come out about what went down between them? Since we are all claiming to be christians, shouldn't we tell the truth and just get it out so people will quite wondering what happened?

I have shared what they both told me. This is a topic I do not care to revisit. It has been six years or so since it happened. The band is done. It really doesn't matter.

We are to speak truth, but only the truth we are empowered to share.

I know that it dosen't matter anymore, but I do still wonder.
Maybe one day Bob or John will write a tell all book.

Haha, I can't picture John or Bob writing a tell-all. This seems to be the topic that never goes away, but shawnpfan hasn't been around as long as the rest of us have, so it's not unreasonable for him to wonder.

Really, though, I doubt the rest of us would be willing to share everything that goes on between family members, friends or coworkers with everyone, so it's not fair to expect them to.

I will say (and no, I haven't discussed it with any of the band members, so I don't know any more than anyone else) that as with most situations there was probably right and wrong on the part of everyone involved. That's usually the case with conflict.

Sometimes it is just better for people not to work together, and if they choose not to for whatever reason, that's their business.
