  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are you listening to?

A chick who doesn't like power ballads? Get outta here! LOL Power ballads actually hurt some metal artists. Extreme is a good example. Their song, More Than Words, was a huge hit. But when people heard their other songs, they didn't know they were listening to Extreme.
I tolded you I was a little different:sorry::o

here's one that SHOULD have ruined a band:

"every rose has its thorn".

The only good thing about that band was CC Deville-
Key word there: WAS. ^_^

I think he felt the need to clarify because there is an assumption among Christians that certain forms of music are "of the devil." Heavy Metal is always "music of the devil," where Christians are concerned. If music or a song is Christian, it should be evident in the lyrics. Sadly, a lot of Christians music today, doesn't meet that criteria. The presence of Jesus is implied rather than explicity stated.
Some Christians feel that it is the style of music that is satanic, even if the lyrics are Christian. I don't know one way or the other. The only reason I don't like Christian metal is because I don't like secular metal either. And that's based on sound, not morals. Nothing but personal preference at work here.

I like less and less metal stuff - I used to love it, but over the past 5 years it sounds more like noise and I don't like it unless it has a real distinctive tune that isn't grating on my last nerve lol.

If they play too many instruments, I hate that too - too much going on & it gets congested.

& basically who knows WHAT the lyrics are in alot of the songs- you can't make out 1/2 the words to them lol
:confused:

Well in a way, it kinda did ruin Poison. They weren't around much longer after that song came out. Native Tongue didn't quite sell as well as their previous works. I agree, Poison is: Bret Michaels, C.C. Deville, Bobby Dall, and Ricky Rocket. That's Poison. But C.C. was such a whacked out junkie that recording music with him was nearly impossible. I saw him later on an a season of MTV's reality show for washed-up celebs. I can't think of the name of it right now. He was still a mess then. But thankfully, he was soon forgotten in the wake of a train wreck like Joanie Laurer aka Chyna.

This was actually a massive hit here... I didn't know it was a worship song at the time. But, that means *millions* of people were unknowingly singing worship music! :clap:

See, Zeck... you gotta remember how girls think of guys in a band - who CARES if they're whacked out junkies, what matters is how hot they are-were.

Ever see Brett Michael's lame show looking for a girlfriend? "Rock of Love"?

I know how chicks think of guys in a band. I did go to high school where Janie Lane of Warrant was all the rage. LOL But since you tolded me you were different, I thought you'd care about some facts. The fact that you found someone as girly as CC Deville hawt, is very telling. ^_^

Yeah, I've always had a hard time believing Ricky Rocket was straight. But since he's been arrested for rape, who knows. Maybe he is. One guy I'm absolutely convinced is in the closet is Paul Stanley of Kiss.

Actually, while I was sick, the only thing I could bear was listening to David Wilkerson sermons, so I trawled the TSNYC archives, and they're all amazing, but there was one called "God hasn't passed you by"... has stuck with me lots, and have been listening to that repeatedly :hug:
