I have to admit...I had this blasting in my SONY cassette Walkmann back in the day

[@claytonsmith6148]

Long time Petra fan here, I'm 56 and first heard their music in 1980, I was 12, and I was hooked! As you explore this band you'll see they cover several genres/or styles of rock through the years. There early stuff from the 70's(Petra-74, Come Join Us-77, Washes Whiter Than-79) has a Kansas/Boston/Skynard feel to it, there first three albums in the 80's(Never Say Die-81, More Power To Ya-82, Not of this World-83) has a Journey/Styx vibe, Beat the System-84(more techno rock)& Live album of the tour Captured in Time & Space-85. The first album Bob Hartman does vocals, as well as other band members of the time. Greg X. Voltz joins the band on the Come and Join Us album as the main lead singer, and continued until Beat the System album, and tour, leaving in 1985. Former lead singer of Head East John Schlit after leaving the band due to drugs, and alcohol in 1980. He has a testimony of how he became a Christian, and God turned his life around. He spent five years just working taking care of his family, and working in his church. During this time John met Bob Hartman on a plane, and they had some good conversation. So when Greg left, John was the first person Bob called. The next phase of Petra developed into a more arena hard rock sound, Back to the Street-86, This Means War-87. When On Fire-88 came along with Petra Praise-89, Beyond Belief-90(what I like to call the trio being similar in style/sound), where Petra developed and edgier sound with metal elements. Then Unseen Power-91, Wake-Up Call-93, hard progessive rock with gospel undertones. No Doubt-95, more of a alternative rock sound, Petra Praise 2-97, continued with alternative sound(less edgy than first praise album). God Fixation-98, Double Take-00, Revival-01, continued alternative sound. Jekyll & Hyde-03, returned to their hard rock roots with a modern metal edge, Farewell-05, has mostly Jekyll & Hyde sound for most songs, and brought in former lead singer Greg X. Voltz to do a few song from his era. Back to the Rock-10 is a reunion tour /recording with Greg, and other members from the early 80's. Petra had there 50th Anniversary in 2022, and has done a tour( I saw them in Oct.22-Awesome), and then 50th Anniversary of their first album for 2024, and are currently touring(I saw them April 18th near Orlando, FL- Awesome). This is most likely it for them as Bob Hartman turns 75 in December. This is a general overview of Petra, considered the pioneer of Christian Rock! I tried to be as brief as possible, if you have any questions let me know.

[@Rocksoup77]

Good stuff! One of my favorite bands. They've been at it a long time.

[@McTaco]

It’s awesome to see someone rock out to this for the first time. It’s quality music that most have never been exposed to do.

[@Firehwk203]

The singer joined around `85, and is the former singer for Head East. You may remember the song "Never Been any Reason" (Save my life Im going down for the last time, Woman with the sweet lovin', better than a white line). John Elefante, the singer for Kansas, and his brother Dino produced most of their material around this era, and I would imagine John is singing BGVs in places. Their former singer was Greg X Volz.

[@scottegerstrom7761]

Petra is great!! love the reaction. Hope you can do more Petra. I have seen Petra live about a dozen times and it is always a great show. They are currently touring on the 50th anniversary tour. Petra has a wide variety of styles from the years they played. My first album I owned was "On Fire" and is one of Petra's heavier albums along with "Jekyll & Hyde". Songs I would recommend by Petra are: "All about who you know", "Mine Field", Beyond Belief", "Hit you where you live", "Counsel of the Holy", "This means war", "Midnight oil", "Armed and dangerous", "Jekyll & Hyde", "Test of time", "Woulda Should Coulda". These listed are heavier songs. Many more amazing tunes with different styles are like: Graverobber, Creed, Sleeping Giant, More Power to ya, Backsliding blues, God gave rock and roll to you, Clean, Rose colored stain glass windows, No doubt, Praise ye the lord. and I could go on and on so many great tunes. Also hope you can check out Bands X-sinner, Randy Rose (Rose), and Crashdog.

[@gordonteats298]

Petra is still together, they just celebrated their 50 anniversary 2024

[@MattNel]

Yesss, my favorite band at last, glad you enjoyed!

[@deucejv]

MORE PETRA!!!!

[@benjaminvalenti1242]

Yes I've seen Petra live I've seen picture live a total of five or six times in my life two of those times I met the band and have some long amazing conversations with them these guys are real guys about their faith in Christ this isn't just music to them this is what keeps them going praise God for Petra

[@josephhood9811]

I was first introduced to Petra by my Mom in 2009. Her and I were driving back from a road trip and my Dad and siblings were in another car. We had a 2005 Honda Pilot that still had the ability to play cassette tapes. She kept all her Petra cassettes from when she was a kid. I fell in love immediately listening to ThIs Means War and Beyond Belief. I found the rest of their discography on my own and love both the Greg Voltz and John Schilt era of Petra.

[@SteveIson]

YESSSSSSS PETRA WHOOOOOOO!!!!!! My all time favorite band right there. Seen them 14 times. The last was in Aug. of 23 at the Illinois state fair. They are a band that has changed and evolved a lot over the years. Lots of different sounds to check out if you are so inclined. All Fired Up is a good representation of their late 80s early 90s arena rock sound. Some other good tunes from that era to check out. Get On Your Knees and Fight Like a Man off of This Means War, I Am On the Rock and Beyond Belief, off of Beyond Belief, Dance, off of Unseen Power, Midnight Oil, off of Wake Up Call and the whole rest of side 1 on On Fire. The lead singer during that era, John Schlitt, was the lead singer of Head East during their 70s heydays. If your in the mood for something a little more metal, check out Jekyll and Hyde.

[@anthonyeldridge4358]

HUGE Petra fan here! "On Fire" has some real head-bangers! Check out "Mine Field" and Defector" if you want more shredding. PETRA as a band is a worthy deep dive from the 70s to the new millennium. Their style shifts from CCR-style rock back in the beginning,pop rock in the late 70s, a stab at synth rock in 1984, arena rock in the 80s, and on from there. I literally can't list all their best but check out "Chameleon," "Judas Kiss," "Pied Piper," "Seen And Not Heard," "Midnight Oil," "Underneath The Blood," "This Means War," and a ton more!

[@gabead]

I’m listening to this and I’m mowing the lawn LOL. That is me to a tee.

[@gerryderose1787]

I stumbled upon this video! Great job, love your air instruments and spirit 😜. Petra/ John schlitt!!! Help turn my world around, They Rock with so much feeling and emotion . Meaningful heartfelt lyrics. I have always been into classic rock. Could not get into the Christian rock scene, until I heard this band. Thank God for John schlitt and Petra music. Love this video, love to see more.

[@musiconswedens9802]

A.O.R & METAL 80's Forever! 🤘😎Rock On !!! 🤘

[@jesseedmondson2861]

MORE PETRA!!! Anything from this album, Beyond Belief, and r Jekyll and Hyde.they also had some great songs early on but it’s stylistically different as they had a different lead singer who was more of a baritone up until the mid eighties.

[@ShaneDiablo]

Jesse! I got'em both! I am gonna do both requests, looks like Beyond Belief has a video and Jeckyl and Hyde we will do on the "first listens" I do on Sunday, nbow it's gonna be a few weeks, yet so hold tight check back but I am gonna do them for you!

[@jesseedmondson2861]

@@ShaneDiablo hey awsome!! Petra is a great group!

[@jasoncherry4221]

petra was my very first concert .id spin this means war or judas kiss mr D

[@williammorewood1625]

Great band Great song Great album. Good job, thanks for covering them.

[@MissAlthea]

A nice recipe of very mainstream, radio friendly, in the pocket mid-80's commercial metal! I will also offer horns for these guys being from Indiana! Midwest represent! 🤘

[@MichaelBuchanan-69]

Petra as a recording band is no more but Petra as a touring band is very much still going. But never say die (See what I did there) I wouldn't put it past them to record a new album. For me my favorite Petra album is This Means War. Petra as you mentioned began way back in the early 70's as a contemporary rock band and morphed beginning with This Means War into more of a Hard Rock Band.

[@tomdolman8158]

They definitely sit in the rock vein more than hard rock, but consistently good music over the years. They're also extremly nice fellas. :>)

[@gabead]

Bob Hartman is one of the greatest song writers of all time.

[@deucejv]

Practically a philosopher

[@weareresolutew.a.r.3643]

Petra was my very first concert in tge Welsh Auditorium, Grand Rapids Michigan! The Beyond Belief Tour! Do Council of the Holy!

[@MikeBeidler]

Absolutely entertaining review. Loved it!

[@ShaneDiablo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

You truly are the best friend to all us on the internets, Shane. Everything from Goatwhore to Petra. My sweet, God fearing Christian Aunt would mail me Petra tapes when I was a teenager to try to save me from the Devil rock. Just saw her the other day ❤️👍👍🤟🤟

[@christianhaynes1954]

Great band , great video Shane 👏!

[@Zim-wc2rs]

Love Petra!

[@thomasnewby9288]

Hit You Where You Live rocks.

[@rebelmetal4233]

Shane...there are a lot of guys who do these type videos. Just wanted to let you know that you are the best I've seen. Also, I appreciate the respect you show the Christian rock/metal genre. There are sone good bands out there, and their belief's shouldn't isolate them. Thanks for doing your part to make sure that doesn't happen! \m/ \m/

[@ShaneDiablo]

Thank you my friend, that means a lot, I appreciate you! And I will keep it up!

[@bentighe4811]

Sure enjoyed Petra back in the day. Lucky for me, they played much heavier live than in the studio. A Petra show was the second loudest I ever experienced, One Bad Pig being number one. Check out another Petra recording - the live version of Backsliding Blues from 1976. Early Petra had a somewhat different flavor from the later version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpnEXoGld711nck

[@PeoplesCarpenter]

This whole album was so good. This, Beyond Belief, and Wake up Call were what I regard as the golden era of the band (Unseen Power, during that era, was not quite on the same level).

[@brucemorgan1447]

Shane....please check out Barnabas, especially the song No Freedom off their Approaching Light Speed album...

[@johannesturunen728]

Thanks a lot Shane. It was nice to see your reaction to this great song! Would you sometime listen to a band called Idle Cure and a song called Breakaway from them?

[@ShaneDiablo]

Oh I found an official video! YES I will check it out for you Johannes! Hold tight it might be a few weeks, but I am gonna do it for you!

[@mathysviljoen316]

I saw Petra in South Africa

[@Thecouchpatatoshow]

They just started a new tour this year they are back

[@tiggywink1]

Yeah, I first listened to Petra in '87....One band that is fabulous is Stavesacre...Their song Burning Clean is a masterpiece....So is At The Moment....Idle Cure was great in their day...Check out Dead or Alive, and Overdrive.... John Schlitt from Petra used to be the lead singer for Head East, back in the 70's and 80's....I just realized I'm kinda old.... Man, if you really want to go back in history of Christian music, with some major influencers, you need to listen to Daniel Amos, Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill...Oh man, Check out Shotgun Angel by Daniel Amos....Kinda country, but good like Drivin My Life Away....It is worthy.... I would put DA as a great band where you never know what you are gonna get...A full box of chocolates!

[@GenXpreacher]

I remember when this first came out. Good stuff. I grew up on Christian Hard Rock and Metal. All these Christian songs you covered I remember their initial releases. Hmmm...Which ones have you not done. Maybe I'll make a suggestion. BAM!

[@u2bono77]

Check out Petra's Beyond Belief album , " I am on the Rock" and "Creed" Check out Petra's Sight Unseen album " Destiny" and "Dance" Check out DC Talk's Jesus Freak album "Jesus Freak" and "So Help me God" Check out Degarmo and Key's "Rock Solid" song and "God Good, Devil Bad" song Check out Bride's Psychedelic Super Jesus song... Check out Allies "The Devil is a Liar" All great Christian Rock songs...

[@CA-tz2sg]

Jekyll and Hyde!!!!

[@daredevildaryl2645]

Shane, I would love to see your reaction to Petra's heaviest song 'Jeckyll and Hyde'

[@ShaneDiablo]

wow you and Jesse Edmondson have great taste! We will do a double shout out for Jeckyl and Hyde he just hit me up about that song! Hold tiggt might be a few weeks just yet, but I will do it for you and Jesse! Hold tight!

[@jeffchampagne6253]

Petra is to Christian rock, as the Beatles were to secular rock.... Both were trend setters.....
