Hardrock Worship

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

How would you guys feel if praise and worship songs like Come, Now is The Time to Worship, Here I am to Worship, and Heart of Worship were turned into Hard Rock songs. Some friends and I were listening to Zao and came up with the idea and thought it would be fun.

I've heard it happen before, it is sweet

I think it would be a good idea, considering the change in today's 'taste in music'. More of the teens and such are turning to hard rock, so maybe if they found hard rock that had gospel, they would turn to Christ. (Songs can have a major impact on people, lol) I for one liking them. So, cya round

i think it will have a good impact on some people who loves rock music,i also love rock music and i love to listen christian rock though i dont collect them much.

Yeah I'm part way through a Rock version of the old Doxology hymn (not finished yet!) But i don't think the youth will like it too much. My band is gonna have it on our Album though (when we get round to writing more songs!)

 

[swingnscream]

Of course , yeah.. it's a great idea! I think doing songs that way really puts the zeal back em, that you lose from singing em & hearing em done the same way for the hundredth time all over again.
Honestly for me, I could only wish that such a thing was way more popular and that more churches and praise bands would not just play slow & timid music that they call "worshipful". Worship is powerful and so is praise... so why not reflect that with our music that leads our hearts to openly worship?

hahah. Sorry. That's a lil more than two cents there. ...just something I'm very into.

I think its fine and I do it all the time with my band, but be careful that you don't turn a song where the focus is God into a song where the focus is the band.

 

[Bonhoffer]

Fine!! Any style of music is okay as long as it is Christ centred!!

 

[Matt Kaseorg]

Doxology rocked out = "A Flowery Song" by "Five Iron Frenzy"

 

[blinkgirl]

hey yeh thats a sweet idea, im in a worship band, we got three guitars(2 electric) and a bass and drums and we were just talking about how we'd like to vary our style, thats just the kinda thing we were talking about, rocking out on some of the classics. do you know "every knee will bow"?the simple songs are usually pretty easy to decorate, simple chord progressions, i mean, im not trying to degrade any songs by calling them simple! i think that doing that with some praise songs can make the quieter ones all the more special. but i agree with "jonfelske" above totally. its all in the heart!
god bless

What is so new about Christian Rock music. In the 80s there was Contemporary Gospel music that sounded like Rock music if you didn't hear the words. I've heard the song, "Rock of Ages" and "Victory In Jesus" in a rock sounding version before. Ever heard of Stryper or Petra? Can't think of some of the other old groups but that was 2 of them. Me personally, I like the Contemporary Gospel Music preferably the older stuff and some of the new. Is "I Can Only Imagine" a CGM song or praise and worship?

 

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

I think it's praise song.

 

[FrAzEr1803]

yeah it's P&W because it's a soul survivor song. It's by MercyMe

 

[bkniceley]

that would be great bro... post some mp3s of the songs so we can hear em! Listen to kutless's new song "Better is one day" that they turned into a hard rock version. It is awesome.. its on the empty me cd.

 

[Shyguy]

Hard rock is gross. it is the devil

 

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

May I ask why rock is devil music. Also it will be awhile before I can get some mp3s because I am just now learning how to play the guitar.

 

[Jynx3dx1]

our church plays everything hard rock..=D either that or jazz.

 

[aLx]

The band which I play the drums for at church turned 'Let Everything That has Breath' into a hard rock version. It was seriously great.

 

[Rich48]

I see nothing wrong with it, as long as God is praised.

As long as you're doing it to glorify GOD, I think it's a great idea!
