Complaining that there are hypocrites in church is like complaining that fat people use the gym. Where else would you have them be?

Pillar is my favorite Christian band. You could always add a couple of their songs to the set.

Not trying to be rude but at the end of the day what you're doing is a worship service and the primary target is not the music or the band but the inspiration and feel for the love Christ. If it's a church picnic, a church fund raiser etc. Rock on!.

Yeah, but I don't want to impede their worship by having them notice that my playing style doesn't fit the genre. CCM is so "formulaic", if I'm using that word properly, theres very few space for improvisation and I can't really shine. I can easily do blues psychedelic versions of these songs on my lonesome, but it doesn't fit the rest of the band.

If Bob Dylan made Christian music, I could rock that. If Van Halen made Christian music, I'd be all over it.

Funny you were saying about a church fund raiser, we were just doing one and we got to play "All The Small Things" by Blink 182, and our lead guy put a solo in it that sounded much better than anything DeLonge could have done.

Dylan *did* make Christian music. Late 70's, early 80's- check out the albums Slow Train Coming, Saved, Shot of Love, Infidels, and his box set, The Bootleg Series Vol 13: Trouble No More.

You haven't listened to some of the melodic METAL stuff for example that is explicit Christian out there right now evidently!!
Bands like Harmony, Theocracy and believe it or not WASP is now in this camp as is Revolution Saints With Deen castrnovo, Jack Blades and Doug Aldridge!!
Here is one for you from Theocracy that s truly a worship song. These guys flat RIP and the lyrics leave no doubt what they are about.

Re: How to Spice Up A Christian Rock Set

Christian music is pretty diverse now days.
Played this one a number of times on a Sunday morning in a worship service and yes we included the guitar solo!

Re: How to Spice Up A Christian Rock Set

I remember Rick Pino from back in the day at Christ for the Nations. He did a great male back-up vocal to Kari Jobe on CFNIs (the original) version of "Revelation Song".

christ for the nations - revelation song

kari jobe leads worship for christ for the nations

I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

Re: How to Spice Up A Christian Rock Set

Now I'm just trailing way off topic. I love this group's ministry, and I love this song, and I love the drummer's take on this ... what I call a very vertical style of drumming ,,, love it.
