Anyone heard of them? If so, what do you think? I got their CD 'Fireproof' and (in my opinion) it's awesome! I love how they use that style of music to praise God!

[Tibby]

Ive never heard of them. What sort of music do they play?

[kestrel]

Good music.


LOL! It's hard rock, along the lines of Korn and Linkin Park. I like all kinds of music... Pillar's lyrics are really cool, too...


'Fireproof' lyrics...

Here's a chance to show you how I feel
A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me

(Chorus)
I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it
I am FIREPROOF
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am FIREPROOF
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am FIREPROOF
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am FIREPROOF

Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the Almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise

(Chorus)

You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire


If you like that type of music, or know someone who does, you should check it out!

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it
I am FIREPROOF
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am FIREPROOF
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am FIREPROOF
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am FIREPROOF

I like it! "Fireproof"

Korn? Pass.

[kestrel]

I don't like Korn or Linkin Park, Pillar's just in that music style...


This is awesome:

[Tibby]

I don't like Korn or Linkin Park, Pillar's just in that music style...

Yeah, that is what I'm scared of.

This is awesome:

No, actually, it isn't awesome. It is unnecessary. The only redeeming part of the picture is the sweet looking axe. But that is blocked out by some ape, so...

[kestrel]

Yeah, that is what I'm scared of.

Because of the lyrics...
I know of several Korn fans who like Pillar, too...

Question:

Do you like Korn and or Linkin Park??

No, actually, it isn't awesome. It is unnecessary. The only redeeming part of the picture is the sweet looking axe. But that is blocked out by some ape, so...

We all have our opinions. Yours just happens to be wrong... LOL! Okay, I'm just joking. But I think it's awesome that a band can use that style of music to worship God... Of course, I think praising God with music is awesome in itself.

[Tibby]

Yeah, that is what I'm scared of.

Because of the lyrics...
I know of several Korn fans who like Pillar, too...

Lyrics, and a musical style that seems to focus on hype and shock factor more then musical talent. "Oh look, I'm playing a song in nothing but powerchords, but who care, because I can headbang while doing it"

Question:

Do you like Korn and or Linkin Park??

no. Not even a little bit.

No, actually, it isn't awesome. It is unnecessary. The only redeeming part of the picture is the sweet looking axe. But that is blocked out by some ape, so...

I geuss that all depends on your idea of worship.

I'm not saying you are wrong for liking them. I'm just against groups who lack musical talent. They use hype to get to the top, nevermind skill.

[HopeAndFaith]

OOOH... Music tastes and preferences are such a personal thing. I don't like metal christian music and head banging stuff. My hub likes "korn" style musc (i like a little bit). he is really into Kutlass right now, i like them but i am in a really mellow mood lately. My criteria for Christian music- whether it be rock,  r&b, or praise- be that it has at least one song title containing Jesus or God. that way i know i am not buying a band pushing "feel good" music, that could be interpreted as secular or Christian.

Hey, head-banging while guitar-playing is a talent. Can you?

Of course, almost all genres are heading towards 'shock-factor-ism', (LOL) so there's not much we can say about that.

I guess that all depends on your idea of worship.

I'm not saying you are wrong for liking them. I'm just against groups who lack musical talent. They use hype to get to the top, nevermind skill.

Wow, that said a lot... So Pillar has no musical talent...

Ah.

Well, I honestly think they have talent.

I like Pillar for various reasons, including the fact that they are all Christians, and aren't ashamed to say so. There are many people who assume a singer/group is Christian because of rumours, or because they use God's Name in more than a vain reference. But not every god is God, and as a matter of fact, only one God is God. Just because they say they believe in God does not make a difference... Remember that verse that says even demons believe in God? If you like, I can look it up later. Anyhow, from everything I've read, there are fruits showing in their (the members') life. No one but God can know the heart of man, but even man can see whether there are fruits in another's life.
And, no, I'm not talking about being judgemental...

OOOH... Music tastes and preferences are such a personal thing.

LOL!!

I don't like metal christian music and head banging stuff. My hub likes "korn" style musc (i like a little bit). he is really into Kutlass right now, i like them but i am in a really mellow mood lately.

I've never heard of Kutlass... Who are they? Are they Christian? Sorry, I'm a bit nescient in that area, apparently...

[Tibby]

Hey, head-banging while guitar-playing is a talent. Can you?

Yes. It isn't hard. I can also walk and chew gum at the same time! CALL RIPLEY'S!

Of course, almost all genres are heading towards 'shock-factor-ism', (LOL) so there's not much we can say about that.

There is plenty we can say. Money talks. Start investing in band with talent, and get all your friends to, and they will starting to change.

Wow, that said a lot... So Pillar has no musical talent...

That would depend on what you call talent. Is talent ablity to play, or ablility to play GOOD without the use of mixers and producers and promoters to dress it up for you?
