07.05.10 | There is a lack of Underoath in this list.

07.05.10 | He Is Legend aren't a Christian band, they were simply on a Christian label. That being said, list is awesome. |

07.05.10 | Christians suck |
Apollo
07.05.10 | 8 is not a Christian album.
Alot of the songs have a christian theme to them, but Thrice is not a Christian band as far as I'm aware... |
couldwinarabbit
07.05.10 | list needs more Radiohead. Cause Thom Yorke thinks he's Jesus thus it's Christian music.
More seriously would real reggae count as Christian music. Cause Rastafarian-ism is a form of Christianity.

07.05.10 | Why doesn't anyone ever call Brand New Christian? It's pretty obvious that they are. |

07.05.10 | Bands consisting of Christians =/= Christian bands

07.06.10 | Yeah, I made a slipup with HIL. It's been a while since I kept up with them and I remember seeing them with Showbread which was a pretty spiritual show. |

07.06.10 | He Is Legend have Christian members as far as I know, same with Thrice, Metallica and Linkin Park though...
Decent list though, if not a bit generic. |
Athom
07.06.10 | "Bands consisting of Christians =/= Christian bands"
this. even though Thrice's lyrics have a lot of christian imagery and dabble a bit in theology, there is no undercurrent of praise, politics, or evangelism and they pull just as much from secular literature (and even in some cases they reference political and religious satire that run contrary with christian beliefs and history i.e. The Canticle of Leibowitz) |
Emim
07.06.10 | I had heard that Araya was, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up, potato.
And it sounds like redsky doesn't want to think of Thrice in a Christian manner at all. |
Emim
07.06.10 | It doesn't matter to me (religious preferences aside). I mean, people listen to hardcore bands shove political agendas down their throats all day long. |
Satellite
07.06.10 | What are some bands that are "in your face about it"? |
Athom
07.06.10 | that's not true and way to completely miss the point of my comment. it's impossible to take away the christian aspect of thrice's music, but that does not make them a christian band. there's a difference. to me christian bands=christian music and thrice do not try to portray religion through their music. I mean shit, one of my favorite thrice songs is Of Dust and Nations and that quotes both genesis and matthew practically verbatim, but does that make it christian music... not at all. |
Emim
07.06.10 | That's just the way it sounded, red. Didn't mean nothing by it.
It just all depends where one draws the line for it being a Christian band. Sometimes quoting the Bible makes a band cross that line. |
Athom
07.06.10 | that's like saying that metal bands that talk about satan or the occult are automatically satanists. |

07.06.10 | lack of beloved is sad. |
Dryden
07.06.10 | ur gonna feel dum when u die and wake up and theres nothin |
Emim
07.06.10 | No, it's more like a band having satanists in it writing songs dealing with the occult and satan. |
cvlts
07.06.10 | lol wake up |

07.06.10 | My post was directed at Adam, btw |

07.06.10 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v5cNfSXnek start at 2:16. "not everyone in the band is christian, we're not a christian band". |
Emim
07.06.10 | My post was @ Adam, btw |
Emim
07.06.10 | Damn computer said my comment didn't go through.
Lost of bands that one could very easily call Christian say that "We're not a Christian band per se. We're just a rock/metal/punk/alt band with positive lyrics." |
Athom
07.06.10 | I'm pretty sure Riley is an atheist soooo.... |
Emim
07.06.10 | I'm just saying it's not too far of a stretch for some people. |
