No way dude! Petra's retiring!

Deciding to not take a page from the Stones and instead call it a career, the members of Petra have decided to retire. Back in the day, this was the first band I listened to that made me realize I wouldn't go to hell just because I liked hard music. Guitarist Bob Hartley is still the man. My personal favorite album? Beyond Belief.

Interesting that when they first came on the scene Christian bookstores wouldn't even carry their music. Now it's a multimillion dollar business. Third Day, Switchfoot, P.O.D -- they all owe a big chunk of their success to Petra.
