| I think they make some good music!
I think that you have to never disagree with him on any of his strong stances he posts on Facebook or he will remove you from his friends list.
Although he did me this way, I still like his music and will support them. I just don't need friends who will toss me to the street if I only disagree one time. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| Joshua' last album, Resurrection, is incredible.
Other than that, the only other one I am a big fan is the one Rob Rock sang on.
I always found him to be a nice guy, though I did have issues with him taking shots at Stryper.
When I received my pre-ordered copy of Resurrection, he sent me a long response to a comment I made about it to him via email. It was very cool. |

| I like most of their music. Probably not the most lyrically bold band when it comes to showing faith in Christ (at least from what I remember). But mostly excellent music. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| That's weird. Joshua is posting political posts on Facebook and when you disagree with him, he's removing you. He has posted a politiacal post on my wall.
His music is excellent. | |

| Surrender - any version of it - is still my favorite album. Resurrection would be #2 and Intense Defense #3. | |

He is seriously going off the deep end about Christian metal bands. Even dropping the f bomb |

Another one further down the page I have never had a Joshua release, although I have been interested. However, upon seeing these rants when they first came out I decided I'd rather not waste the money on someone so hateful. | |

| Does he ever explain WHY he is so against Stryper? He's acting completely insane, but is it possible he has a legitimate reason to be angry? Not that that would make any of his actions ok, but it could explain some stuff... Weird. Regardless, he's not someone I'd feel good about supporting. | |

| He is laying it on heavy about Stryper and particulary Michael. Since he has aired this all out in public. The Godly thing to do is explain yourself. | |

He might have a legitimate gripe against Stryper (might being the operative word). But it appears he is going about his complaint in a very un-Christian (and unhealthy) manner. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| He has claimed in years past to have witnessed strong drug use, profanity, stealing of money from venues, multiple sexual partners, etc. and "claims" to have proof with dates. A few years back he was saying he was planning a book as an expose that has not materialized. I somehow doubt that it will. He just comes off as bitter as Joshua the band (or the musician) has never reached the same level of success as Stryper.

| The ONLY thing Joshua said that made me think for a sec was about Frontiers... He said Frontiers wanted Michael to say that they weren't a Christian band. Now, if that was true, it would be pretty damning of Michael to give in to that. But again, I really do not believe it....but it still made me ponder for a moment. After all, it does seem some like something you could see a label telling a band to do. That's the problem with the ravings of a lunatic. They throw so many accusations out there that eventually a couple may sound plausible and make people wonder. |

NOT counting Joshua because he is just outright crazy and is in his own category... here is a possible couple reasons for some of that Not all "Christian" metal bands over the years are really "Christian". Some are "spiritual" and Christians have decided to lump them into the "Christian" category, and some were never Christian to begin with but they played that card to try and get a record deal with a Christian label. So whether it is the pressure of trying to be something they aren't, or whether it is just their natural carnal selves, they seem to eventually snap. Then there is the way a lot of Christian metal fans act with Christian bands. They expect the bands to be like their pastors or preachers, but with a guitar. And that just isn't the case. I have seen Christian fans tear apart bands over some of the dumbest things. I am sure that this has to take its toll on the bands after a while, in terms of how they deal with them. (wait for it.........) Then some others are just a*holes to begin with Saved..but maybe not renewed in their thinking |
