I just got back from a concert near my town.
If there are any of you out there that enjoy a modern approach (youthful...lol) to worship....check this out!
These guys are Canadian and very, very good! Our youth group absolutely loved them.
Trust me....they really are good.

Any Rock-N-Roll Worship Music Fans out there?

Linkin Park, Hedley, AC/DC, Ozzy..and others!
Christian rock is starting to grow on me. I really like Casting Crowns and Third Day. Live Worship music is something that is sadly missing in JW world. seek2find
Rock-n-roll worship music is an oxymoron.
The whole premise behind original rock-n-roll was sexual in nature...that's why conservative prudes hated it. In time rock-n-roll came to be associated with being anti-establishment and against authority.
Now 50 years later, not only has rock-n-roll become mainstream, conservative groups and churches are adapting it to further their cause. Politicians use rock songs as anthems(ignoring the lyrics, i.e. Springsteen's Born in the USA), churches promote "Christian Rock" bands, bands whose look is stolen right from MTV and the real rock bands.
As you may have surmised by now, I am not a fan of "Christain Rock" or "Worship Rock". I prefer the decadent, sinful nature of my rock-n-roll.
There's a reason why the Rolling Stones are called the World's Greatest Rock Band...drugs...sex...rock-n-roll
They aren't bad. I just can't get past the christian aspect. To me sex, drugs, and rock and roll all go together. It would just be weird head banging to someone screaming about Jesus in my opinion. I guess Rock now a days merely means they use electric guitars.
