I kind of figured you respond like that.. However.. You still didn't answer my question... Ellect, thanks for your comments. This genre doesn't appeal to Earthy & that's OK. I have a friend who, could never reconcile rock & Christian, thinking they're world's apart. I'm not sure she has given it a fair shake because groups like Demon Hunter & Red are definitely anything but "gay" sounding. I will cut her some slack because there are a number of same sounding groups out there. I think the point she's missing is listening to their respective messages. If you're spiritually tuned-in, it's easy to distinguish between the groups that are "inspired" & everyone else. tf73 |

If you're spiritually tuned-in, it's easy to distinguish between the groups that are "inspired" & everyone else. tf73 I completely agree with tf73. It is absolutely OK for everyone to enjoy any kind of music. The spiritual message in these songs are all that really matter. I'd like to borrow a small passage from the incomparable author Rick Warren who has written in depth on this topic and who truly explains this the best. "God loves all kinds of music because he invented it all-- fast and slow, loud and soft, old and new. You probably don't like it all, but God does! If it is offered to God in spirit and truth, it is an act of worship. Christians often disagree over the style of music used in worship, passionately defending their preferred style as the most Biblical or God-honoring. But there is no Biblical style! There are no musical notes in the Bible; we don't even have the instruments they used in Bible times. Frankly, the music style you like best says more about YOU--your background and personality--than it does about God. One ethnic group's music can sound like noise to another. But God likes variety and enjoys it all. There is NO SUCH THING as "Christian" music; there are only Christian lyrics. It is the words that make a song sacred not the tune. There are no spiritual tunes. If I played a song for you without the words, you'd have no way of knowing if it were a "Christian" song." Ref: The Purpose Driven Life p. 65-66 |

Pretty cool. Am going to check out red now. I listened to a FEW songs, and not one was gay at all. LOL. I was surprised at how heavy they were. Excellent! I relate to their slower song too, the video for that where they dig him up and he gets out of the coffin.. very cool symbolisim. Hm.. Thanks for turning me on.

K so I listened to pretty much all that you had posted Tribe.. and I liked all of it. MUCH better than the stuff i had heard in the past.
I just got so sick of the music and just all of it sounding so weak, and just contrived. Those bands are definitely worth a listen imo. I really liked the rock, AND the hip hop. Pretty cool. Thanks again. Something more to relate to. |

Thanks again. Something more to relate to. Earthy: You are most welcome. I'm glad you found some groups that you can relate to. Did you see Demon Hunter's "Infected" vid? Let me know what you think. Also check out TVU on the web & JCTV on cable & satellite, for more vids. As for other groups that may interest you checkout Flyleaf & Fireflight. Both of these groups feature female lead singers with very powerful vocals. Matters of fact I'll post some links for them both so you don't have go searching. 1st Flyleaf- "I'm So Sick", then "All Around Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCon0QojjYA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-sNIWi2fLs Now Fireflight- "Unbreakable", then "You Decide" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCUfHQSsC2c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhR0G7LC1FU Enjoy, tf73 |

Ref: The Purpose Driven Life p. 65-66 PS: Thanks for the Rick Warren quote & I couldn't agree more. How many Christians today know that many of the songs in church hymnals(if you can find any) with songs being credited to Martin Luther the reformer as the author, that the music was based on German beer hall songs with new Christian lyrics. He did that so that the tune was already familar to the listener & it was a matter of learning the new lyrics. All you naysayers, contemplate the ramifications of that, for awhile. tf73 |

Hey you Christian music fans. Sorry I've been away. Time to post some more music links.
1st a group of 5 young lads from down Georgia way, Family Force 5. These guys are a blast in concert. I'm thinking that if Heaven has a designated party band, these guys will be it. They're in town this weekend in C-bus, OH. "Love Addict" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqr8q7RheXg D-I-E 4 You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTMrM2HSyHo&feature=related Next is a band I really like, Decyfer Down, they're from NC way. I was going to post "Fight Like This" but none of the audio is any good. So we'll go with "Crash" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIiJEYOqulA Then "Desperate" is getting current air play & is a great song. The writer desperately wants God. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlGsTtWhIe8 As always, enjoy. tf73 |

It's great that you & your son share the concert experiences together. I like Falling Up as well. Saw them in concert 3 yrs ago. How about a song by them? "Broken Heart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdlrcpzSL5Q House of Heroes was founded & is based in OH, where I am. Reliant K is as well. Here is "Serial Sleepers". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRbqrwanm-c I love Skillet. Yes, "Monster" is their latest release. Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRbqrwanm-c The brunette on guitar in the video is John Cooper's wife. You'll find that all of the Christian rock bands are very approachable. Enjoy & God bless, tf73 |
