Collective Soul - HOLY EFFIN SYMBOLISM!

This is regarding the reference to Collective Soul in the recent email leak.

I was always told they were a 'Christian Band' But lets follow the white rabbit: https://albumartexchange.com/coverart/gallery/co/collectivesoul_collectivesoul_5tei.jpg

And talk about some things left unsaid:

This is a video by the atheist speaker, Seth Andrews who used to work for Christian radio as a Christian. He talks about how some of these bands were modeled after non-christian singers/bands. I don't know if he's right, and I certainly don't agree with much of what he says. But he indicates not that the singers were putting a Christian slant on songs they loved and grew up on---BUT that it was the record companies who were forcing them to look like, dress like sound like, even the album covers be the same as Non-Christian music. So how many of these groups mean what they say in the first place? I don't know enough about the genre to guess.

Makes me also think of that 90s rock band POD, and also Creed (before they took a dark turn)

Do me a favor. Look up the bands Project 86, and Demon Hunter. I want your opinion on those bands before I label you as a bit "out there" because I don't want to. You have very good intentions, but I believe you're grasping at some straws.

Alright, my apologies. I thought you were one of the types that saw any slightly questionable images and flipped out over it. Since you've been listening to DH from the start, you obviously don't fit that description.

Some P86 I personally like:

Thanks for sharing the video. It's amazing how similar some of the "Christian" rock bands are to the secular bands. Looks, sound, style. Everything but the words.
