Petra- This Means War Live

[audit0ryali3n]

(pumps fist in the air while eating breakfast burrito) "War!" Petra has always put on amazing live shows!

[DefenderCatholic]

That would be awesome! I would go see them if they came into our area!!!

[Violettero]

I wish be like Jhon!!! he is very rocker and spiritual!

[payaso789]

excellent video! definitively one of the best songs of petra.

[eggnogonthebog]

I had this on tape...Now lost..

I'll have too look out for the cd.

Great rock song!

[luvlipstickkisses]

This album was just out when I first got saved.

[STRYPERTUBE]

Love this song!

[DefenderCatholic]

I saw them 5 times, Disney World, Springfield Missouri a couple of times, Germany once, and Kentucky.  They have been one of my favorite bands of all time!

[STRUTTER777U]

@DefenderCatholic I saw them 4 times, and now they are touring again with Greg X Volz back on vocals. I may see them again soon.

[michael08huff]

I saw them twice on the "This Means War" tour. I have to tell you that not only are they great musicians, but Bob Hartmann broke loose and preached the Gospel like he was on fire! And there was much rejoicing.

[goodygoody23]

anyone got a tab for this?

[anwflutist]

i listen to this song every night before i go to bed.. and before i go to school

[elias5300N]

petra  for ever!!

[PrinceJedimaster]

The best Drum opening in music history.

[TheRockon12]

yeah it is

[koru81]

You must not have heard Hot for Teacher :P

[PrinceJedimaster]

yes I have and stand by my opinion.

[casnick1]

This song brings back many memories of our youth group. We saw them in Adelaide. Great concert.

[taurenvonred]

I love this song

[torrinater]

I love this song! I actually saw them when I was six years old at Creation Festival 88.

Oh and for any of you evolutionists who might watch this video. Darwin plagiarized virtually everything in his 'Origin of Species' without giving any credit.

The RELIGION of evolution started back in ancient Sumeria, before God toppled the tower of Babel and dispersed the people around the world. Thats why every pagan religion teaches some form of evolution, of life somehow emerging from the water.

[dizzysmilex]

I envy you so much! I wish I could've been alive when Petra was at its peak so I could've seen them. Their music is very reminiscent for me -- I was just a baby! :D

[torrinater]

Yeah, I was only 4 the first time I saw them.

[greg8998]

One of my favorite Petra songs! Thanks for posting!

[drew4663]

Can you prove He doesn't exist? Why should we waste our time proving to you He does exist? You're the one that doesn't believe! You prove He doesn't. Through death or His second coming will be proof enough for you but then it will be too late. I find it funny that people fight to believe? Why? I have never met a Christian say....Man...I'll never believe in that again...that was terrible and ruined my life. C'mon we are only concerned for you. Does that make us monsters to have luv 4 u?

[cKHAVIKk]

This is the true mark of Christian logic. Conventional logic would dictate something as thus: Man 1: I have a baseball... Man 2: Oh yeah? Then prove it!!! Man 1 pulls a baseball out of his bag... Man 2: Ah, okay!! Seeing is believing! Christian Logic.. Man 1: I have a baseball... Man 2: Oh yeah? Then prove it!!! Man 1: Prove that I DON'T have a baseball.. Man 2: How do I do THAT? Man 1: You don't. Just have faith that I do..

[BrianAV1611]

No, it would be like this:

Man 1: I have a baseball...

Man 1 pulls out a baseball and shows it to Man 2

Man 2: Oh yeah? Then prove it!!!

Seeing is definitely NOT believing. If it was, everyone would believe in God.

[unfinishedwork]

The wind exists, but you can't see it! But according to you logic the wind doesn't exist since you can't see it? God exists, look around.

[o0xst]

Petra was a different band when this guy came along....some liked him, I just couldn't get into that howling singing mode that everyone was doing back then...Volz was great, sad he left

[Edithjuneau]

Amen !

[devanaire]

The Spirit of Petra, which came from the spirit of Christ, will live on and continue to inspire other people to give their lives and keep the focus on Christ. I just found this band this year.

[mrpurr1]

If you don't know God you war with yourself. Take paper and draw six images on it. A blob, bird, fish, human, horse, an insect. Number each one differently 1-6. Roll a pair of dice, that is what you are. Now put down in any order the following, heart, brain, lungs, liver, waste system, skin. Put numbers 1-6 around your creature/person and roll dice to see where brain/heart etc go. If what you roll and put in place cannot possibly live, then you know you are made by an Awesome GOD! No accident.:)

[Rawk4Life]

Interesting analogy, care to show me an actual example of this? Not that I doubt you because I whole heartedly believe He exists, I just never put God into that perspective before.

[JoseBerry]

WOW I never seen before this powerful song live!!!

[thundercatny123]

Awesome!!!!!

[gordonkimble]

Torture!!

[PastorJames]

at what point did we decide keytar was a good idea?

;)

[earthminded]

Only a real man comfortable with himself can play the Keytar. Its like wearing pink. I applaud the keytar and all the brave souls who play it!

[Espeelover]

So? You are not a christian. why not?

[cKHAVIKk]

ummmmmm...... because God isn't real.

that's why...

[Espeelover]

but ummmmm.. God is real.

[cKHAVIKk]

okay then....

prove it to me any way you can.

Scientifically, spiritually, scratch paper, charades, whatever....

If you can prove it in a way that makes him visible to me by whatever means, I'll concede that he exists.

[Espeelover]

sorry I took so long to get back to you, I think you were thinking I got cold feet but nope. I will explain in the next comment.

[Espeelover]

ok then lets get started. I'll start out with this. I'll put 1 comment and then you need to reply. ok so....alright. Have you ever seen the wind? I've never seen God. You've never saw the wind. I've seen the effetcs and creations of God but, I've still never seen God.

You've seen the effects of the wind and what it does and can form but, you've still never seen the wind.

[Kennychipmunk]

I think Tourniquet explained it best with their song Archituthis(sorry about the spelling I can never get it right.)Anyway just because we do not see a giant squid does not mean they dont exist there are signs of them everywhere.The same is God thereare signs of his love everywhere.you just have to know where you look

[Espeelover]

well said

[longhairdancer]

No, you won't.

[PauloKiske]

I think god is real ^^

[LeahRobb]

This is a pretty unfortunate recording.They were a great band. The singer was previously in a secular band called Head East where he developed a cocaine habit that near killed him but something amazing happened on his chosen day of suicide and he put his faith in God...he did not become gay:)

[PastorJFuture]

hey good one, you are obviuously putting a lot of thought into your comments

[jonathanmeigs]

um...winning team? yeah, ned flanders would love this.

[beerenaap87]

great song!!

[joeyjordison7]

genial!!!!!! God rulz

[garleer]

Great band, great song - almost as good as Dance with the one who brung ya...

[BlackOppsM]

dang, petra was awesome live...i wish i was alive when they were playin shows...

[laurelinsgarden]

LOLOL Now I REALLY feel old! I DID see them live, on this tour, while I was a freshman in college, 1987. They were amazing live; I saw them many times.

[QbidMusicandMore]

They played shows up untill 2005 or 6 that is when their farewell tour was.

[Rawk4Life]

Petra officially hung up their instruments in November 2005, they will be missed.

[ricanrolear]

i love the video and song

[fastmanxc]

I concur! good sound quality! when was this filmed?

5 stars!

[jonke38]

1988 I think.
