| ApologetiX I'm curious what everyone thinks of ApologetiX. And I'd like to hear what people think who've been to any of their concerts, preferrably recently, but whenever's fine. And just a note, please no "how dare they ruin really good songs!" attitude here, I get that enough from my best friend

| Some reason they're my top favorite band. Maybe because I love the large amount of scripture they use and how much they talk about the bible and that their focus is completely on getting people to Christ. I also think they're extremely talented.

| umm... as for that attitude, i have that on a few songs, but lazy brain is hilarious, and since i listen to no secular at all anymore they redid a lot of songs that i would have otherwise really missed, like crazy train, and fat lip, and freebird, renegade, etc... all really good songs, can't say i liked the lyrics they did much, but i get to listen to the music which is why i liked the songs in the first place though, i do have to say, they could have done a better job with corinthians, and they should have left a few reallly really bad songs alone... i would not go anywhere near stacy's mom or who's your daddy...

| I loved the parody of Stacy's Mom! I'd say it was my 2nd favorite song on the new album (Welcome to the Judges came first for me). The message just really had an appeal to me. Back Intact didn't quite touch me that much, although I think it sounded great. I've never made it a habit to listen to secular music, so I really don't care how they compare to the originals. On Spoofernatural, they parodied Livin' on a Prayer, and J couldn't quite touch Bon Jovi's range (both my mom and my best friend said that he did not sound good), but I liked the song anyways. On the other hand, there are songs that I thought were better musically than the originals. The parody of Crazy Train was one of them. I've never heard Ozzy's singing before I heard Lazy Brain, but I wanted to see how they compared, and Ozzy's voice just annoyed me so much! My ears just couldn't digest it for some reason. Also, Karl's guitar sounded much much more alive than Randy Rhoad's did for some reason (maybe because Karl's become such a good player and producer). One of the things that I like is when they do a parody of a song that I've never heard the original or even know who the original artist is. Some reason that just makes the song sound like theirs. Like "Wherever You Will Sow," a parody of "Wherever You Will Go" by the Calling. Never heard the song. Never even heard of the artist. I loved it! I showed the song to my dad (he had never even heard of the original artist either), and he loved it! It was practically a praise song in a sense! Here's an interesting question that's up for discussion. I know what I think, but I always like hearing other people's thoughts. Do you think it's possible to be tempted into secular music by listening to ApologetiX?

| is not really purple.  | I love ApologetiX! But I have to agree a little with AXguitar, that there are some songs they shouldn't have redone... basicly all the country ones, I don't like country! But I thought they did an awesome job on a lot of the songs! I love both Queen's version of Bohemian Rhapsody and ApologetiX!!!

 | Sorry for the attitude here but I hate how they redo songs, yeah I it takes talent, but I think they should write there own music.

| I heard the Apologetix soundclips at CBD online and unfortunately I've only heard the complete version of Santa CLaus (which rocks) and the voice of Sodom Quote:

| From the couple of tracks I've heard (The real sin savior, and Bethlehem Rhapsody) I quite like them. They certainly have talent. |
