I grew up listening to this record and and just found out recently that Louie Weaver did not play on this record or the More Power To Ya record....Does anyone know who actually did? After hearing records Louie did play on and then going back and hearing these records again I did notice that the style on the MPTY and NOTW did not fit Louies str8 ahead rock style. The style on those 2 records is more Jeff Porcoro style than Louie's True style. So that would make Back To The Street his 1st record.
Bizarre....when I tried replying to exclusionjoe in my email account, it kept giving me error msgs...but now there are two..... And to the whole weed debate, wow, can't wait to ask God. I do believe things in moderation, such as I don't really ever get drunk, but considering Jesus's first miracle, we know some wine is not a sin. Medically speaking, pot is less harmful, it grows naturally and doesn't need fermentation. I'm a type 1 diabetic it is better than booze? God, what do you say?
@3890carz18 It isn't false doctrine. Bema is the original greek word; translated as "Judgement Seat". Look up Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:9. In the Gospels (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13) bema is used to describe a decision or judgement made by a ruler/magistrate. Smile; Petra's theology is and always has been great ;)
@smn3675 check out a company called ESP Guitars and thier sister company LTD Guitars they have the pretty crazy and wild shapes and there is also a company called B.C. RICH Guitars that make some pretty wild designs also as a guitar player I don't really like to play the wilder shapes they seem to be bulky and interfer with playing but I do have a couple wilder looking guitars hanging on my wall in my studio a Flying V and a Lita Ford designed jar shaped guitar shaped like a mason jar its awsome
@exclusionjoe LOL. I don't care for playing the weird shape guitars either, but my main guitar right now IS an ESP LTD. I"ve hada couple of flying V's in the past 20 years but found I had to rest the "crotch" of the V on my leg in order to play it sitting down or hike the strap up so it was up to my chest when playing standing up. It'd be cool to see a Petra album cover guitar, whether or not for playing, just as art piece if nothing else. God Bless and Merry Christmas!

@exclusionjoe LOL. I don't enjoy playing the weird shape guitars either for the same reasons, but, ironically enough my main guitar right now is an ESP/LTD. The weird shapes are just cool to look at. I've had a couple of Flying V's in the past 30 years, a Jackson and an Epiphone, but found I had to rest the middle of the V on my leg to play sitting down or hike the strap up super high when standing. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Christ is specific about healing. Let the elders of the church lay on hands(touch) and ask and expect healing. If you were hungry and asked your mom for food would you expect food? Of course. Then why do you go to your heavenly Father and ask for healing and not expect it. If a man ask and already believes he has received then he shall receive. Believe, faith, receive.
and it's after this "Bema Seat" judgment of the righteous that "He will wipe away every tear from our eyes and (then) there will be no more crying or sorrow..." So, everything after the Cross (our salvation) counts for eternity, good and bad (2 Cor 5:10). There are other companion verses for this doctrine (Prov, Eccles, Mt., Lk, Rom, Heb).
I don't think i'd need to do weed to dig into the album NOT OF THIS WORLD, it's what I consider to be the best Rock album PETRA or any christian band have ever released that's packaged to banner God's truths. Worthy follow up indeed to the classic MORE POWER TO YA.

@Rudemanlan You said 'IF there was such a thing as...' SO I replied that there is in fact such a thing. Sorry, I didn't expect that would require extra clarification. Perhaps a little toke might improve your humor?
i have enjoyed weed, alcohol, coke while listening to music....but never christian music! it just don't mix for me....and i know some people that do smoke weed before going to church but i could never do that..of course God made mariuana, but he made papaver too and you don't smoke that either right?
@Funkdogg opium is the base chemical for morphine. codiene, herion (made and marketed by Bayer) ...and medically it is referred to as "God's warmest blanket"- without it people would be dying in unimaginable pain. How does suffering needlessly glorify your God? You christians yourselves say Jesus paid for your sins and salvation is not earned- it is a gift..so whats your point? just airing your foggy brain?
@Funkdogg Thankfully God provided relief from pain (both physical and spiritual) by sending His Son to pay the costly price and take OUR pain that we CAN be healed. That price was His shed blood. If you believe this you will be delivered from death and destruction. God's love is endless. Joseph
@Funkdogg no- I'm a nurse. .You? And also- just to be argumentative....you CAN smoke Opium. Its been done for centuries- about as long as the human race...but you don't believe in science either I suppose. Its all pretty simple to you it seems. Unfortunatly life is not neat and tidy following a "plan". its messy and unpredictable. Read JOB. then tell me its all smiles and roses. If thats true then why would you need faith and the "helper" the holy spirit? can't have it both ways.
@cubbycab i did not mean you can't smoke opium. i know people from iran that smoke opium in golden pipes. plus if you knew just a tiny bit of my life you would know that my life has been messy since day 1. so you don't have to explain life to me.
all i was talking about in the 1st place was that i can not smoke weed and than listen to christian music.
@Funkdogg American indians smoke hemp, the only difference at this time is the united states government says its illegal. but for hundreds yea even thousands of years it was not a problem. so I think that it is what comes out of the heart that condemns you, not what goes in. lets see what this draws up
@dilligaf715 . the problem with weed where i'm from is that they put chemicals in it wich make it hazardous for our health. but what the indians smoke and many other people around the world is natural and not bad for health. and i agree with the condemnation part. i guess that is my problem. but i'm like if i feel bad doing something, why should i go on with it? but everyone should know for themself
@Rudemanlan You're right. I've just recently gotten what you're talking about a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to anyone if I seemed like a religious Christianese blabber. Though I must say to anyone else reading that likes pot or drugs, try toking the ghost and some Jehovah-wanna, do a search on youtube for "how to get high on Jesus" to find out how. Some dank stuff :)
@Rudemanlan Who needs weed when you can toke the Ghost? Have some Jehovah-wanna, dude. Look up TheSonsofThunderPub and JoyRevolution channels on here.
@soopahsoopah Great that you love their music. Too bad you don't get the drift of it. It's about being saved from the worldly activities that separate us from the Father. I pray God gets a hold of you before it's too late. God bless you friend.
@ThePrayerwarrior777 Romans 14:10-12 says, For we will all stand before Gods judgment seatso then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Second Corinthians 5:10 tells us, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Petra was so good you don't have to be a christian to enjoy their music. I think christianity is total garbage and holding back the human race but I like me some 80's Petra.
@soopahsoopah Sorry to hear that God loves you actualy Christianity is true Christianity is the only thingholding the human race together true christianity is about love in the purest form agape love the God kind of love which only comes from trusting Jesus
