Being a Christian has never been about a specific job. Just a desire to follow Jesus, and to live the life that he taught.
Thanks, DC.
I thought this was cool so I wanted to share:
Anthrax - Dan Spitz
Accept - Peter Baltes
Saliva -Josey Scott
Blind Guardian - Hansi Kursch
Helloween - Andi Deris and Michael Weikath
Iron Maiden - Nicko McBrain
Avian - Lance King
Shadow Gallery, Magnitude 9, Dream Theater, Alice Cooper (who himself is a Christian), Savatage
All That Remains - Philip Labonte
Megadeth - Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson.
Other bands, such as Killswitch Engage [2] and Linkin Park [3] have members who were raised in Christian homes, thus occasionally using spiritual themes.

I thought it was cool because typically being in a metal band is not conducive with a Christian lifestyle. It’s a job filled primarily of sex and drugs, not all the time but sex and drugs are very apparent in the metal genre….. So to be a Christian in a metal band, IMO, is pretty cool……..
Agreed! Certainly wasn't laughing at you, DC. If I did that, you being ex-military and all, I think you could take me!Originally Posted by drum_chick
Seriously, though, I think it's cool to find Christians in metal bands, too. You know, there were Christians in rock bands, too. Even with all the sex, drug, and rock and roll, they managed to live their lives. Some pretty heavy ex-rockers are now Christians, too.
Nah, I'd never do anything to harm you PB (well maybe not)......
Sex and Drugs are pretty common in a lot of musical Genres. Being in several Jazz bands over the years I've seen a lot of Jazzers using Pot, and cocaine, and picking up strange women after the shows, etc. It isn't the Genre of the music, that you play, but how you choose to live your life that's important. Lots of temptation out there to go around.
Thanks for posting it DC thats really really interesting.Originally Posted by drum_chick

Finding Jesus
On April 1, 2005, Keenan announced as an April Fool's joke - to the shock of many of his fans and friends - that he had "found jesus [sic]" and would be abandoning the recording of the new Tool album temporarily and possibly permanently.
Kurt Loder of MTV contacted Keenan via email to ask for a confirmation and received a very nonchalant confirmation. When Loder asked again, Keenan's response was simply "heh heh." Loder also noted that Keenan had not capitalized Jesus, uncommon for someone who had just converted to Christianity.
On April 7, the official Tool site announced that the gag was up with the statement; "Good news, April fools fans. The writing and recording is back under way." When approached for comment on his recent encounter with the "Son of God," Keenan said, "That guy's a punk!"[2]
Yeah, the idea that Maynard James Keenan is a christian is a bit far fetched. He uses religious imagery to be sure, although it is usually negative. From what I can gather Tool as a whole are actually pretty far into the Occult and things like that, hence the symbols on Danny's kit. Also the song "Prying Open my Third Eye" is a reference to a specific beleif that relates to Hinduism apparenlty, but is not Hindu. 46 & 2 is another song that has a religious or occult theme to it. There was a website that actually had the meaning of all these songs on it. I'll see if I can find it again.
"What consumes your mind, controls your life" - So, what consumes your mind?
Nah, can't seem to find it anymore, although one thing that did keep popping up was "Jungian" - not sure what that is.
"What consumes your mind, controls your life" - So, what consumes your mind?
Actually Danny is the really wierd one out of the bunch, or should I say the religous one, if you read up on danny beliefs and what he is into would really scare ya, Maynard is bizarre but most of that is really for show, but seriously read the lyrics to the new album, maynard really writes some very interesting stuff, speaking of going to heaven, changing his ways, well I don't want to screw-up what he has written but I am tellin ya, it is in his lyrics of the NEW album, his old stuff is indeed pretty sacreligous, but everone can change, that is the power of god.Originally Posted by crazymanwithaplunger
Well, that is older metal, that was before metal was AHHHHHHH *Insert screaming here* like maiden, maiden was storys, im suprised Nicko was the only Christian in that group
ya know what would be funny?
if someone put lombardo or some other guy from slayer in that list.
or better yet jimmy paige just to shake things up a bit.
Ostinato is the way to go!

You've got a point there, LW80. Quite frankly, most Christians are simply doing the best that they can. There are alcoholic Christians, drug using Christians, hating Christians, you name it they come in all shapes and sizes. That's why churches can more accurately be describes as "hospitals for sinners." Churches aren't for the perfect, because no one is, even . . . dare I say . . . the pastors!
I completely agree with you, doesnt matter your gender, sexual preference, religion, or anything no one is better than another. I love your view man.Originally Posted by pastor_bob

Ahh... Somebody beat me to it. Slayer's singer is a Catholic.
Don't forget that most of Black Sabbath are now Christians as well.
