Is Rock Music the Devil?

In answer to the OP, no. I listen to a lot of different types of music and am a fan of a lot of rock music.

 

I play piano, though nothing to brag about. I can hold my own on drums, bass, and years ago used to play a mean blues harp, but I am out of practice on that now.

I agree about the Les Paul, after several hours your neck and back are really feeling it. They have awesome tone, but the Strat is by far the easier to play in my opinion as well.

I forgot one of my guitars the other day, I also own an old Danelectro 56-U2.



This guitar is made of a plywood frame with masonite over the top, super light. It is a great sounding guitar and you get a volume boost whenever you switch to the middle pickup position. The only downside is you cannot adjust the intonation. Still, a great guitar with a very unique tone.

 

Yeah NIB the least like satanic music.

I have a harmony les paul copy that I like. How do people like semi holow bodies?

 

Sorry, but what does NIB mean?

 

I agree. Years ago when so much new music was coming out in the Christian music field, I began reading about the writers of the music and found that they might not be worshiping the same God as I. But even at that one needs to be careful, I've always liked, "I saw the Light" written by Hank Williams and "Why me Lord" written by Kris Kristofferson. Neither one of these men to my knowledge were or are know for their walk with the Lord, but only God knows!

 

The Proof of the Source is in the Lyrics...

IMHO, I firmly believe that the lyrics will tell you all you need to know when it comes to protecting your spirit from secular music. The words, and what those words mean to you, and make you think, or do when hearing them is one way to determine if the song is of a form that is purely entertainment, or, devil sent to influence the mind, heart, and soul.

My wife and I have successfully taken rock songs from the 60' and 70's, and using the music, we changed the direction and intent of the song for the Glory of Jesus.

For instance we took the Everly Brothers "Bye, Bye, Love" and wrote words that make the song over to be, "Bye, Bye Sin!"

We took the Beach Boys "Surfin' USA" and reworked it to be, "Churchin' USA!"

Chuck Berry had a great hit with "Johnny B. Goode". Leaving the name in place, Johnny B. Goode is now playing his "hot guitar" for Jesus at the church on Sunday mornings.

We have a large following, and the only thing that stops us from doing an album is the money it takes to legally get the rights from the original artist and composer to make a recording. This is frustrating, but, the music really works at every church we minister at.

Amen! Scripture says sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. I use to be in heavy Metal 20+ years ago,but when I got saved I had a new desire to put off the old world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKIQ7T-t_V4&feature=PlayList&p=13C42B6A90D57617&index=0&playnext=1

 

Really...you are going to bring up that propaganda piece? They selectively choose the bands and music and act as if all rock music is like that.

 

Sorry About the Web Address, It Is NOW Correct

Sorry if you couldn't get through:smilewinkgrin:

 

It initially didn't mean any thing. It was short for NIBBY an nick name for one of the band members in black sabbath. Later when the album was released in the US it became known as Nativity in Black. I was being sarcastic as the song is very satanic as the lyrics are about Satan seducing a young woman. As I review rock songs over the years most are about sex (illicit - non marital), then drugs, satanism, then other criminal activity. Quite a few have to do with suicide, all pretty much are rebellious.
though this is true can the type of music be blamed or the populist culture?

 

Thanks for the clarification. The lyrics, I think we all agree, are the primary factor on whether or not a song is satanic or not.

 

Well, that is true in my opinion

For what it's worth, that is how I see it, too!Forget the backward masking phenomena, IMHO, it was the words that heard going forward that made the music what it is: for the devil, or just entertainment.:thumbs:
