Christian Rock

[LP186]

just wondering

they are in the same record label as Underoath

and all the band members are christian...so

 

tell you what, both Underoath and Emery are coming to Australia, and playing in all the citys, but Perth, were i live

how messed up it that X_X

[Stllmn8j]

That sucks,UO is having an awsome tour in the states with 3 of my othe fav bands,but it's only in Georgia,Florida ,and Alabama...

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

Emery are a christian band I suppose, I dunno if they're "metal" but it doesn't matter, because they're awesome anyways lol. I really hope they fly over to the U.k sometime in the summer, I'd love to see them.

[Stllmn8j]

Has anyone heard The Showdown's new album yet? I'm just wondering how much they changed since the first album

[HaziLPTonz]

alot of christian rock bands arent really even christian, they basically sing the same things as mainstream bands...spose it makes em feel special...

 

i like POD, theyre a good band, i dont listen much to the others, but yer, i dont see the whole "christian" *insert genre* thing...just...wierd and convoluted

you should grow up and realize that music is music.

 

some of it's good and some of it's bad.

[Peterdea]

well then i don't mind Christian music then, Flyleaf are great!!!

[Stllmn8j]

There's been a lot of talk about christian rock,so I figured I'd bring this back

[tsinoitcelfer]

Man, this whole thread no one's even brought up Skillet?

 

Skillet pwns.

[Stllmn8j]

Skillet pwns.

 

I just realized that,they are kinda well known too

[HaziLPTonz]

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!

[DarknessLover]

So wait, LP is Christian Rock? because in Hands Held High they say Amen! So LP is Christian Rock!

 

lmfaoo

[Clogz]

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.

 

Better than Drugs - Skillet

Comatose

 

Feel Your every heartbeat

Feel You on these empty nights

Calm the aches; stop the shakes

You clear my mind

You're my escape, from this messed up place

'Cause You let me forget

You know my pain

 

How can I tell You, just all that You are?

And what You do to me?

 

You're better than drugs!

Your love is like wine

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming to get me high

You're better than drugs!

Addicted for life!

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming on to get me high!

 

Feel You when I'm restless

Feel You when I can not cope

You're my addiction, my prescription

My antedote.

You kill the poison; ease the suffering

Calm the rage when I'm afraid

To feel again

 

How can I tell You, just all that You are?

And what You do to me?

 

You're better than drugs!

Your love is like wine

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming to get me high

You're better than drugs!

Addicted for life!

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming on to get me high!

 

How can I tell You, just all that You are?

And what You do to me?

 

Feel Your every heartbeat

Feel You on these empty nights

You're the strength of my life

 

You're better than drugs!

Your love is like wine

You're better than drugs!

Addicted for life!

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming on to get me high!

 

Feel Your every heartbeat

Feel You on these empty nights

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming to get me high

Feel Your every heartbeat

Feel You come to get me high

I feel You coming on so fast

Feel You coming on to get me high!

 

To get me high!

 

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?

Which is silliness, they swore on the last album. People need to get over stuff...for real.

[Clogz]

does flyleaf count? im not too sure... but i liek flyleaf! lol

 

Yes, they do. Flyleaf is Christian hard rock.
