Is that what that blue light in a lot of peoples's ears is. Damn I thought it was Christmas jewelry!

can U ever see Dream Theater and the NewsBoys giving a concert together. Just will not ever happen...Two Different world!!

I love Christian Music and Rock music especially. Do you know of the band Flyleaf? WIth singer lacey Mosley from Texas..they really have something cool, and thoughthe lyrics are somewhat cryptic, it is a true journey through religion and experience of God, for the singer personally. Really quite different from "Ordinary" Christian music.

I am not a Christian musician myself, I belive in life and the lifeforce and the universe it its totality, I call it God sometimes, but I see it in may ways. But I love people who faith and sincerity there-in. I do know there is something much bigger out there than me and that the world does not evolve around me.
yeah, up for inspired music.

I have some new songs on youtube http://www.youtube.com/yanetzin (no perfect recordings, hell no, but just some live solo acoustic things, to try out new songs, i am working on my demo, can't wait to get it up either!!) I think the songs are nice though and the voice is not bad...

Flyleaf is very good, Lony. I like them a lot. That lead singer had a lot of issues though I hear, lived with her grandparents, cut off all her hair, had mental disorders.

But the band did an awesome take on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

Collective Consciousness, yes!
There really is some kind of super evolution going on, and of course the machinery is always attempting too smash it back in the ground.
If I could choose a God I would let Love rule the world!

Many say that God IS Love and vice versa.

Also, I know of nothing more collective than Christianity (being One in the body of Christ). That's why it's funny when I see Christians rebelling against collectivism.

Seriously ... get a band ... It can be done.
If a bunch of diverse east Texans can do it.
Anybody should.

I feel music regardless speaks to the soul, blurred by the beauty of sound caressing ones flesh. It evokes things deep within us, the memories washing over us. I feel genre, labels, all that are just that. Music itself should always speak of itself. It should drive you into its depths, to where you wish not to return. And if one should open their mouth, it will often speak through us. For myself I would be lost in this world without it. It has given my life meaning every moment that i can taste its melody. It is like my eternal lover. And I am bound.

-p.s. means I'll listen to anything =)-

I just finished a Swanson tv dinner with a pound of fried chicken....not bad if I do say so myself

Christian Rock and Heavy Metal. Is there a sense of History?
1985 -2007 or Did it start with The movement Jesus Christ Super Star?
The topic : Christian Contemporary.

JCSS was a theatrical explosion/successful box office anomaly... and like all musicals, it inspired a host of 'not-so-talented' audiences...in this case, not-so -talented Christian audiences, who suddenly believed that if they 'willed" an act of their own, in the name of Christ, then it would somehow reach the ears of all souls, and lead to the salvation of many. (Very self-grandizing, in the wrong hands) .

Now, don't get me wrong... I am Christian and proud of it... But you ain't gonna catch me embarrassing myself (or the Kingdom of God) by inappropriately mashing the word of God with Metal (Which, ironically...has been associated more often, with satanic cults) .

Its not that metal is bad, or that that the word of God is bad... Its more like, Try powdering your Capn' Crunch Cereal with heaping spoon fulls of penicillin. The epicurean nightmare that results from that combination is enough to get consumers to denounce both, the cereal and the medicine.

So, what I'm saying... Christian + "Musical Genre" is not only philosophically inadequate, but it's also an absolute smack-down on the aesthetics of musical art form.

My Advice to "Christian" rockers... Toss the Psalms conversions, and simply proclaim yourselves as musicians, (who happen to be of Christian faith). I suspect you'll get better reception from the world. Also understand, that If I'm throwing back the bible that you pitched at me from the stage, its not the word of God or Jesus Christ, that I am rejecting... It's your lousy act...

I respectfully disagree with you. For me, the genre is about how you connect. The message is what you connect with. I'm a Christian and I love Christian Rock. If the message is clear and driven through Biblical passages, I don't understand how it "embarrasses the Kingdom of God". Everyone has their own preferences in music. My inlaws won't listen to anything unless it's from a dusty old hymnal. Nothing wrong with that, but it puts me to sleep. I personally like something a little more progressive and fast and loud and whatever. I worship how I worship and the only one I have to answer to is God, MY personal Lord and Saviour.
