In 1983, when I was six years old, my teenage sisters gave my twin brother and me Petra's More Power To Ya album. It was our introduction to Petra and Christian Rock Music, and we were hooked. It's a credit to my sisters for setting us on a path to be influenced by the music we listened to, and to this day in adulthood, I can honestly say the overwhelming majority of music I listen to is still Christian Contemporary. We were super fans and every birthday or Christmas one of the presents we got was Petra's new album (first in LPs, then cassettes, then CDs.) I definitely will say, Petra influenced me to accept Christ at eight years old and throughout my teen years as I grew in my faith and walk with Christ. I thought it was ironic y’all mentioned the guitar solo in “Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows,” because my favorite guitar solo Bob ever did was in the very next track “Run For The Prize.” This interview brings back so many great times in my youth singing along/praising God with Petra in my bedroom, and later my car. Thank you Bob Hartman, and members of Petra, for ministering to me, and thank you Lord for using Petra to do your work!

[@AREA312RockMetalVodcast]

This is such a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing! That was so very cool for your older sisters to introduce you to Petra - and the "More Power To Ya" album, no less! I was twelve in 1983 and vividly recall picking up "Not of This World" that year. Yes, "Rose Colored..." is my favorite Bob solo of all-time, and it is a bit ironic that the song was not included on the 50th box set! LOL! But Bob curated the set and he had reasons for including the songs he did. "Rose..." still made the cut in this interview! 😉 I had MPTY on cassette back in the day, and I recall "Rose..." finishing out side one, prompting me to flip over the tape to side two. But I became too lazy to rewind the tape every time, so it was seldom that I heard the intro and the complete first verse to "Run For the Prize". No doubt, however, that "Run..." contained a brilliant solo - I can hear it in my head this very moment as I type! Thank you for watching and for commenting; my co-host and I are grateful! Wishing you The Lord's blessings! -Kent

Wow, I was just totally amazed with Bob’s interview. I have always greatly respected his guitar work and songwriter-musicianship. most important was their ministry that Petra brought to millions of people. I was about 16 or 17 years old when I went to my first ever concert, and it was Petra beat the system tour . At that time I decided to accept Christ.. The music clearly touches the heart. So thanks for this wonderful channel! It truly brought back memories

@@AREA312RockMetalVodcast Petra was my first encounter with Christian rock too. I saw them live during the Back to the Street tour. Bryan Duncan opened for them. I spent many hours listening to them and learning their songs on my guitar. My first album was Not of This World which is one of my favorites. Also love Never Say Die, More Power to Ya, Beat the System, On Fire, and Beyond Belief.

Great interview! You guys did an amazing job covering Petra’s album history. Petra is definitely my favorite band.

And also thank you Rex and Kent for your channel for bringing these amazing musicians. May the Lord bless you!

[@Rocksoup77]

Great interview! That guitar lead in "Angel of light" is blistering. I love so many of the leads Bob has played over the years....And the songs. As far as the interview, I like how the questions got into the nuts and bolts of how the band worked in some of their processes, as well as from a production standpoint. Plus the showcasing of album art and tons of Bob's solos.... just a superb interview. The body of work they've done over the decades is nothing short of impressive.

[@AREA312RockMetalVodcast]

Thank you for watching and commenting. We are genuinely grateful! Angel of Light is the very song that hooked me on Petra back in 1982. Absolutely: That solo is blistering! I am grateful for Petra: the music and ministry they've provided. Thank you again for watching and for your kind words. Wishing you The Lord's blessings! -Kent

[@ludlowfamily718]

Fantastic and fun filled interesting interview! A trip down memory lane. Petra was the first for me at 9 or ten years old. My personal favorite was Judas Kiss. Also loved the song It is Finished. I spent hundreds of hours listening to this band in the early 80’s. These guys opened up the doors for thousands of next generation Christian rock and metal bands. Swaggert and Gothard lost the battle. 😂

[@AREA312RockMetalVodcast]

Thank you for watching and commenting; we are grateful! Petra was my first taste of Christian rock as well; I was eleven or twelve years old. Judas Kiss was certainly a "Whoa!" moment from the backmasking to that instantly catchy guitar riff and solo. I remember the outro also being mesmerizing with that synthesized finish. It Is Finished also shined brightly on Beat the System. Bands such as Petra and Rez may not have been the first Christian rock/metal bands, but they certainly were pivotal in kicking down the barricades against modern expression under Christendom's umbrella. Thank you again for commenting! -Kent

Great interview! Petra has always been one of my top 5 all time favorite bands of all time. For several years they were #1 and now they settle to about #2 or #3. I don't see them falling below #4 or #5. Petra along with Daniel Band, Jerusalem, Rez and Stryper were my introduction to the wonderful world of Christian Oriented Rock, Hard Rock and Metal in 1985. They proved over and over that you can like Rock Music and love Jesus and have a great message. Sometimes when I would be doing other things there would be a Petra song going through my mind, either an old one or a newer one or several songs. Bob and company has crafted some great riffs and songs throughout the years. He is the most or one of the most underrated guitar players.

[@AREA312RockMetalVodcast]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Soldier777! I know how much you appreciate Petra - same as me. The older I get, the more those Petra tunes from the early 80s seem like timeless hymns - they are sweet to the soul! Blessings, brother! -Kent

[@nathanhood5156]

My very first memory of music EVER was the Beat The System album, I woulda been 3 when it was released. My dad was a reformed rocker from the 70s and after he got saved, he ate up music like Petra, White Heart, Rez, etc. Every single album mentioned in this interview has had a profound impact on my childhood/early teen years, and I still listen to each one regularly. I am so blessed that my parents were believers who filled me with music like this. In times of trouble, or when I am tempted to go astray, any one of these songs will come to me and with the prompting of God, help get me back on track. This was a joy to hear. Thank you, Bob, Petra and 312. And most of all, thanks to God for all He has done!

[@mylesmilliman6166]

Thanks for this interview guys. Enlightening and informative. Really liked the way you took it down the road year by year, album by album. It was a fun journey. Wow, still on the road. Good for them. I have quite a number of very definite (and pleasant) memories attached to Petra records starting with MPTA, which was the latest record out when I was introduced to them. I'm surely in the minority, but Jekyll and Hyde is my favorite Petra record. The production is stellar and some of those tracks just "next-level" stomp. Nicely down-tuned and no keyboards (yay!) Yes it lacks lead guitar breaks, and that's a crime really because Bob is a great lead player and should have continued to be highlighted, no matter what the current musical climate may have been back then. Also a loud shout-out to "On Fire" which genuinely surprised me when I listened in the store. I had sampled the previous couple of releases but they hadn't inspired me to drop the coin. But I bit on "On Fire" and brought it home, and was really impressed at how they had ramped up their power and energy on that one. That sense of trepidation and "safeness" on display previously was replaced by a much more confident record. Then Beyond Belief followed closely in it's footsteps and Petra was back on the menu for me. Bob is like your cool uncle who also happens to be a rock star 😆.

[@AREA312RockMetalVodcast]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Myles! We are grateful! Indeed, "On Fire" was like Petra with turbo thrusters to my ears when I first heard it. I was definitely "wowed", and Petra was definitely on fire during that period! Yes, sir, Bob rocks, and I am grateful for Petra: my first encounter with rock music filled with the Good News of Christ! Blessings, brother! -Kent

[@Lions_Mane]

Thank you guys for doing this! Petra truly does mean "ROCK" and Bob Hartman and company have been rocking my Christian Rock world since 1987 and I have never looked back!

Two brothers(Brian/bass & Jeff/13 piece drumset at 15y/o) at the end of my street and schoolmates found out that I play guitar(not that good at all) got me into Petra and Stryper, put a band together in 83' named The Rapture Band until they moved to FL. Thank you Uncle Bob and Uncle Greg, and the rest of the Petra uncles for your ministry. I love how they did the the J-Cards on lyrics with the Bible verse referrence, I believe Disciple is the only one that does that today, correct me if I'm wrong. To be honest, it took me awhile to get into John Schlitt voice, until "This Means War"...👏🙌👊

I asked my mom to cut out the front and back of the shirt I had outgrown and sew the logos onto a different shirt. My biker friends called it my "Super Petra" shirt as it then resembled a "superhero" logo type shirt. That was such a great concert, and Petra was larger than life to me back then. I spent countless hours drawing the old Petra logo and "Petra spaceship guitars" during my middle school and junior high years. Blessings! -Kent

@@AREA312RockMetalVodcast The cool thing about the solo on RCSGW besides Bob's composition of the solo is the way JDB tracked it. The b-section of the gtr solo matches the way the ld vox was tracked in the 4 bars transitioning into the solo section with the counter-point & over-dubs. This was my fav. BH solo also but it also highlights what a really good producer Brown was. I'm aware he had some issues but he was a phenomenal producer. The 3 best produced CCM records between 82 & 85 were More Power.../Beat the System/Medals (which was Jack Puig's record). Id learned all the gtr/Keybrd parts on these 3 records by the time I was 7 yrs old.

@@thetruthchannel349 I completely agree: JDB had some personal issues but was a fantastic producer. To me, MPTY and NOTW are ageless albums from those years you mentioned. BTS can be placed in a time capsule with regard to soundscape, but during that time the album could compete with anything else on the rock market, thanks largely to JDB's production sense. Medals, produced by Jack Joseph Puig, was also a great album. Thank you for sharing! Blessings! -Kent
