This past weekend, I went to Gaylord, MI and had the time of my frickin' life. There were some bands there that I kept thinking "They made this?" or "They're Christian?" Because suprisingly, many of today's mainstream bands are Christian.

Anyway, 65 bucks for 2 days of straight Rock n' Roll and about 30 is pretty good, dontcha think?

Some of the bands that were there were: Skillet, Decyfer Down, Family Force 5, Kutless, Newsboys, TFK, Disciple, and many MANY more!

One of the funniest parts of the whole thing was talking to this random guy who was dancing onstage during FF5. The whole time, I was wondering what he had in his crackpipe. He moved, talked, and acted like he was on some hardcore drugs .

Wow man, sounds like you had alot of fun.
I wish I could have gone to the thing that happened in North Carolina this weekend.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Greg Laurie, but he came down here and was here for three days strait.
I didn't hear about it until it was too late. :/

Big Ticket '08, 20th and 21st, remember this.

Sounds like a blast. Wish I coulda gone. I really wanna go to festival whatacall in Ohio.

Good to see someone actually knows about what I'm talking about

This sounds like fun. And yes, there are bands that don't sound like the usual that is played. Ever heard of Frost Like Ashes?

Anyway, hope you had fun. I probably would have as well.

It was the time of my life. Some things ticked me off like Kids in the Way not returning, no moshing, etc. But overall, it was sweet.

Anybody here ever seen Newsboys drum platform? it has a hydraulic lift and can spin circles at a 90 degree angle while the guy is STILL drumming. It was a true eyeGasm.

I like Christian rock music, but youth group keep changing the worship songs we sing, so I never get to find out anything about the songs like the band that wrote it, where they're from etc.

[SpikeReynolds]

@Limzo:PM me some songs, I'll see if I know any of 'em. I didn't even know Britan had Christian rock .

Dude, I just remembered, the leader of this strength team there preached at my church camp for a week. That was awesome.

[Mr. Pimpy]

Sounds like fun, though I'm not really into rock. I like Holy Hip Hop though.

[The Satellite]

Newsboys are still in business? Wow. They're a pretty old band.

Anyways, Family Force 5 sucks. But Skillet and Disciple KILL. I hope Disciple rocked the place... though I'm kinda pissed that Kevin Young cut his hair.

Nah, thanks dude, but it's alright. I'll just ask my youth leaders about them if there's one that sparks my interests. I didn't even know we had Christian rock either until I started going to youth church.

However, there's one song I particularly like, and if I can remember enough of the words, I could find out more about it, and then PM you.

EDIT: By the way, I don't really know whether the stuff we sing at youth church should be called "rock" or not. It's almost like a kind of music on its own.

Oh man it was amazing I really liked newsboys and sanctus real.

[SpikeReynolds]

Newsboys are still in business? Wow. They're a pretty old band.

Yea, they were the first band to sign up (OMG those guys LOVE Michigan). They're what, 20 years old now? But they just came out with their new album "Go"

Anyways, Family Force 5 sucks.

I resemble that remark J/k
I liked them because they were unique.

But Skillet and Disciple KILL. I hope Disciple rocked the place... though I'm kinda pissed that Kevin Young cut his hair.

Skillet Rocked, but John Cooper didn't have the killer boots this time around . Disciple also killed . They look nothing like they do on the back of Scars Remain. If I had broadband, I'd send you the Disiple section that my friend taped. BTW which one is Kevin Young?

They'll retire soon, mark my words.

I believe you mean "resent" not "resemble."

You wouldn't say that if you heard their CD. Everything sounds the same on it. I went to Ichthus, and some guys said their concert rocked and bought their CD, but then said that the CD sucked.

Kevin Young = lead singer.

Ah, no boots. Oh well. Music's good enough, isn't it? I love The Last Night.

[Mitchfork]

I would have loved to see Kutless. Those guys are awesome.

The whole 'resemble' thing is a joke .

I don't remember what his haircut was, but it was medium and black.

I hear you man .

Ah, no boots. Oh well. Music's good enough, isn't it? I love The Last Night.

You know which boots? The 3 inch heeled, black leather, extrior steel toed boots of awesomenessness. My personal favorite from the concert was My Obsession. The only problem with it was that they did NO old-school. It was all Collide and Comatose.

And with this post, I'll call it a night .
