Guitar Praise-- Whoo. Hoo.


I don't know what to say about this. The words just escape me right now. I'm completely beside myself. I'm rendered speechless. My brain is about to explode. I'm afraid to get out of my seat for fear of leaving parts of me behind on the chair.
I wonder if they have a Christianized version of Grand Theft Auto.
BTW-- The same company markets a Praise DDR set. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Discuss, please.

It's the same complaint I have about CCM in general. Very few Christian artists seem to want to do anything orignal. They just seem content to rip off secular music and sell it as a sactified equivalency (ie: If you like, say, Metallica, you'll love (insert CCM metal act). people always try to tell me who their fave exception to my rule is. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Let me just say (and I should probably blog about this on my site), It's OK if you're a Christian who doesn't like CCM. I'm in the same boat. I love Jesus and I love rock 'n' roll. So, you'd think it'd be an easier sell for me. But it's not. Live with it. I know I do.

BTW, for those who aren't into "theoslang" or "Christianese", CCM stands for contemporary Christian music.

Much of CCM sounds like bad 80's ballads. Good point about the lack of originality in CCM. I find the lyrics of "secular" rock music much more honest and profound than their CCM counterparts. I'll take Megadeth (musically and lyrically) over Pillar any day!!
