    Pedro the Lion

    Same here. He used to play here in Minnesota about five times a year from like 97 til 2000....I got way too much of him and couldn't listen for a long time. I don't really like Achilles Heel that much though....it doesn't seem as creative, just kind of blends in with all the other indie rock...

    Christian Bookstores

    I can buy the same CD's at the tiny locally owned record store in my town for ten or twelve dollars, that I can buy from the Christian bookstore, that is part of a huge national chain, for eighteen dollars.

    Has hardcore gone pop?

    Yeah, I'm cool with it too. There are a lot of hardcore bands that deserve recognition for being talented song writers and musicians, most people don't really have any idea how talented some of the bands really are.

    Has hardcore gone pop?

    I'm not in college right now, but my friend is and he has a class on pop music. He was telling me how his teacher said that music has three stages, I'm only going to talk about the first two which are folk and pop. By his teacher's definition music is folk(not literally folk music) when it is...

    Favorite Christan Hard Rock, Metal, Goth, Industrial Artists

    Jesse Smith from Zao was amazing until he quit the band. His drumming on CD wasn't too special...especially on Parade of Chaos....it was like he purposfully didn't use his talent. But live he was awesome. He was always adding really complicated parts into the songs when they were played...

    Cornerstone Festival

    I haven't been there for a few years...but I went to '95, '96, '97, '98, and 2000. I think 95 was my favorite..probably just because it was my first time. Cornerstone is amazing. I think my favorite show there of all time was Zao in '96.

    Just wanted to start something for metal

    Tatted Saint, I haven't heard it, but I just saw them live tonight so I got to hear some of the new songs. From what I could tell they were really good. It's kind of hard to get a handle on a live Dillinger song if you haven't heard it a few times first so half the time I had no idea what was...

    hXc

    I just got home from a Dillinger Escape Plan show. Zao was one of the opening bands. Zao did really well. Their new drummer isn't anywhere near as good as Jesse Smith was though, other than that they were great. Dillinger Escape Plan blew them out of the water talent-wise, but Zao was the more...

    Pray for my pain?

    Hey guys, My name is Andre. I was wondering if I could get some prayer from anyone who felt like doing it. I think the idea of strangers praying for strangers is so awesome. I'll also pray for anyone else, if anyone wants it. Anyway, I'm 26, I've been in almost constant physical pain since I...

    Child with prognosis of life long pain

    This breaks my heart. I am in constant physical pain and I hate the idea of a small child coming into the world like that. Never give up on God's healing power, and really believe it. Take the Bible literally, believe God's word.
