hmmm
dont like christian bands, alot of em are just NORMAL rock bands, and are merely tagging themselves christian rock to get an audience..OR are being tagged christian rock purely because of religioug beliefs or because their music may just happen to reflect a few christian things here and there
so sorry if this is a bit of a stereotype, but thas just the way me and friends see it, while some music is indeed enjoyable, we just dont get the tagging of "christian rock", like that REALLY makes a big fat difference, most of them probably never uttered anything christian in their entire lives!

Linkin Park certainly has many songs that can be viewed as 'Christian', like "Somewhere I Belong"...but I think it is up to individual people in the end to decide the meaning of a song to them.
I don't know much about Christian rock, I usually just listen to secular rock music and call it a day. I wish that there were more good Christian rock bands though, like Chevelle. They rule (and yes, they are a Christian band!).

Thogh some people are mad about the swearing on Vena Sera,though I didn't think it was that big of a deal

No, I disagree with that. I think it's more the other way around. They're Christian Rock, they write lyrics about God and worship and such, but they word things vaguely enough to interpereted differently to people who listen to secular music, so they can get THAT wider audience. It's really a form of evangelism. It's like saying "If you like this song about love, look at it like this...." You know?
Here, look at it this way.
This is a good example. This is a song to God. BUT, the way it's sung it sounds like it could be to anyone. Even the leader at an AA meeting, you know?

i dont get it... so many bands claim they are "Christian" but if you look at the lyrics there is not a hint that its Christian and if you look at their lives theres not a hint that its Christian...
i mean no offence to anyone but P.O.D being a christian band? do they ever mention "God" or "Jesus" no so just because they claim to be Christian and their lyrics seem like it doesent mean they are Christian. dont judge a book by its cover. thats just my opinion

P.O.D. actually does talk a lot about God and spirituality,they just tend to refer to him as Jah
Also the Advance Copy of The Devil Wears Prada's new album is on Demonoid!

So you're basically stereotyping and pigeon-holing Christians into people that are hypocrites if they say anything other than "I Love Jesus" over and over again in their songs? That's stupid, to be honest. Christianity is more than saying "I love Jesus." We are still human, and deal with the same things everyone else does, so why can't our music reflect that?
I think anyone who stereotypes Christian is a bigger idiot than they claim the stereotypee to be.

nope not stereotyping it, i myself have some of that music like skillets, p.o.d ext. i just disagree that they are all christian, just because they sing like the lyrics posted by skillets before, does that mean its for God? i mean he could be singing it to anyone/thing. i mean there are some christian metal bands who claim to be christian but then have budha on their cover...

Well, if a fourth grader draws a swastikaa on a piece of paper because he thinks it's a cool looking shape, does that make him a Nazi?
