Musical roll call.

With the new members we have gotten last months I thought it might be interesting to start a musical roll call.
To know more about the musical interest of the CHM members.

Some love rock, others love extreme rock.
We might have a different tast in music, but we all love Christian music.

Now. It's my turn to start.

Discovered Christian hard rock in 2000.

My favorite music styles are Christian hard rock, metal, the old school stuff, modern rock, hair metal and all other stuff that rocks my socks off.

Favorite bands for now are.
Disciple, Mission Of One ,Nailpoint, Testify, Under Command.
Rose, Mad At The World, Stryper, Whitecross, Mastedon.

Come on and give us your musical roll call.

Discovered Christian hard rock in 1994. (Although I knew of it in 1988, as I'd heard a Petra album)

My favorite music styles are Christian hard rock, power metal, melodic metal, the old school stuff, hair metal etc.

Favorite bands for now are.
Theocracy, Seventh Avenue........ oh there's lots really

Fundy

I discovered Christian music around '85 with Stryper. But, I didn't know that they were not the only band out there like that. I really discovered the whole Christian scene in 1990.


I love classic metal & hard rock (long live the 80's!), modern rock, and worship music. I like some CCM bands, but I wouldn't call that my favorite.


Favorite artists for now: Rose, MATW, Kutless, Disciple, Seventh Day Slumber

Ill list Christian Music

Stryper
Whitecross
Deliverance
KJ-52
Starflyer 59
The Violet Burning

No Toby Mac?


I wondered if you'd stroll over here since you reconnected with us at the CMR.

Good to have you back!

Well lets see, I believe I discovered the wonders of Christian rock/hard rock back in 2001 or so.

I like pretty much every style of Christian music under the sun (with the exception of country and most rap). My favorite styles are hard rock, progressive metal, blues rock/metal, modern rock, Southern Metal, and hardcore (cookie-monsterish).

My favorite bands at this particular moment in time are:
RED, Disciple, Pillar, Nailpoint, P.K. Mitchell, Dishwater Blonde, Guardian, Haste the Day, The Showdown, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Mad Max, Harmony, Darkwater, and Seventh Avenue.

Was aware of Christian music since I got interested in it in 1989... had no clue of the VAST array of styles and multitudes of bands out there until around '99 to 2001-ish when I started getting really into the scene.

I (like Silentthunder) am a fan of endless styles of music (as long as it is clean and God-glorifying). I'm one of the few here that can actually say I like some country and some rap. (everybody at once: "oooooohhhhhhh" )

My tastes vary with my schizophrenic moods, from DCTalk to Mortification, from Christafari to Inked in Blood, from Brush Arbor to Rackets and Drapes....

My current favs spinnin right now are: Theocracy (mirror), REZ (reach of love), Living Sacrifice (self titled) and The Blamed (21)

It's good to have you back at CHM Addy.

Discovered Christian rock in the late '80s with Glad, first introduced to Christian metal w/ Guardian's "First Watch" sometime in '91. Never looked back!

Current favorites:
Theocracy - Mirror of Souls
Menahem - Angels and Shadows
Blood Drift - Thrusting Plagues
For Today - Ekklesia
Miseration - Your Demons - Their Angels

Well I first heard of Christian rock back in the mid 80's when someone introduced me to Stryper, but other than Petra I didn't know of any other Christian rock bands.

I finally started discovering the wealth of Christian rock and metal bands in 2004/2005.

My favorite style of music is Classic Metal, Hard Rock (yes long live the 80's) but over the past years I have also warmed up to some Doom, Power metal, Modern Rock, and even some CCM.

Favorite Bands (at the moment): Red Sea, Saint, Sacred Warrior, Hammertown, Rose, Place of Skulls, Third Day

If anyone mentions R n B they should be banned from CHM.

I found out about christain rock or metal music whenever Aldat took me and my friend to see Jonah 33, and fusebox in nashville.

My favorite list right now is probably
Kutless
Disciple
Chris Tomlin (little lighter than normal)
Mission of One

I remember the Jonah 33 show. But, I think that was Building 429 and 33 Miles I took all you guys to see. The only time I have seen Fusebox was when they opened for Rebecca St. James, and I went alone to that show.

my sister bought me Petra's "This Means War" on cassette......

Quote :

Hammertown

Never heard of them....
style ?
from ?
Any good ?

Been a metalhead/punk rocker since 83. Didn't hear of any Christian bands until 93 (Barren Cross) and I had no interest in getting to know them either. In 98 I started listening to quite a few Christian bands and actually listened to Christian only for a few years. A few years ago I returned to listening to everything I loved and missed, though I do keep a couple of bands out of the collection now. I like a lot of different stuff but hair metal and hardcore punk are definitely my favorite two genres. Strange I know but it's been that way since middle school.

Very Favorite Bands:

7 Seconds
Minor Threat
Chain of Strength
Faith
Youth of Today
Anti-Heros
Holy Soldier (Steven Patrick era)
Barren Cross
Whitecross
Queensryche (old)
Def Leppard (old)
Testament
Metallica (old and the newest one)
Machine Head
Killswitch Engage
Project 86
Stavesacre
Spoken
Journey (Steve Perry era)

Oh gosh and so many more...

Modern Rock, not sure where they were from, but I believe one of the front men (singer or guitarist) passed away (rather young too). So only the one album. Very good. One of the very first "modern rock" bands I would give the time of day.

Discovered Christian hard rock in 1978.

My favorite music styles are hard rock/metal (the two are all but synonymous in my mind), blues, some pop (mostly old Christian stuff I grew up on).

Favorite bands (limited to Christian only):
Rob Rock (anything)
Barnabas
Bride
Barren Cross
Darrell Mansfield
Daniel Band
Stryper
Theocracy
Antithesis
Rez/Glenn Kaiser
Deliverance
Die Happy/Red Sea
Place of Skulls
Neon Cross

etc...

"We're just a Minor Threat !"

"Straightedge !"


Yeeeeaahhhhhhhh

Hammertown is a nice band Gary.
When I feel better I'll e-mail you some songs so you can listen.

I think most of us discovered Christian music by Stryper.
Stryper was the first Christian rock band I listened too.

Ditto.

Back then, I thought they were the ONLY rock band for Jesus

Hammertown:

Wow the sound quality on that was so bad I couldn't even tell which song it was.

Cafepress sells that Hammertown disc for $5.99. Their site claims to have sound samples but they won't work for me.

I became a Christian on Dec. 31 1979. I went to a church that was very anti- any rock. I burned all my music. I was tricked into auditioning for Stevie and The Saints. (Long story). That was the first Christian rock I had ever heard. First album I bought was Yellow and Black Attack. Then it was ON. Could not get enough. But I love the 80"s stuff, especially the L.A. guys probably because we all played the club scene together.

BTW Guilty/ Forgiven, I am just down the road from you in DHS.

Sounds like a very interesting story and I (for one) would like to hear it, but I understand if you don't want to get into it.
