Disciple - Not Rock Stars

- "Not Rock Stars" (on their CD "By God") is composed of footage from a staged concert & a zillion hours of footage I shot while on the road and in the studio with the boys. The edit took longer then the road tour. This footage was shot for a 55 minute video named "Out On The Road". No hotel furniture was damaged during the making of this video.
great message. too many Christian bands sell out to gain social acceptance by claiming to be a rock/metal band who just happen to be Christians.
this band aren't ashamed of telling everyone exactly who and what they are.
praise Yeshua!
AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! Servants of the Most High!! I love to listen to this song while I get ready for Church!!! Thanks guys!!
i wish Disciple made their new songs with lyrics like this
if you say so. I haven't seen them for almost 10 years. Regardless of how their music may have changed, the important thing is the message. If they're still trying to introduce their audience to Jesus then their still on point.
It is different then traditional Christian music. But just like traditional Christian music the stories & lyrics are about the power & love of Jesus. In my opinion, musicians work with the style of music that moves & motivates them. I have no doubt that Disciple has influenced millions of people. I've been to their concerts. I've seen lots of kids accept Christ. I'd say YES, this is Christian music for people who are moved by hard rock music.
Dope song!
We are servants of the Most High!
This music video is sooo good I can seriously watch it 10 times in a row and still want to watch it again.
wow! just ....WOW! These guys are awesome. Praise God!
Right own. This is as straight forward as it gets. This owns so freaking much.
Unashamed Christianity. Praise God.
Hi Arthur. I shot & edited the video. Their producer (Michael Betts) & the boys wanted to let their fans know that even though they have the rock star appearance they don't live that lifestyle. The entire video was a spoof on musicians who DO live wild & loud lives. I spent time with them on the road & in the studio. They liked to joke and horse around but live quite humble. lives.
Be careful not to judge a book by its cover. Thanks for the post.
Que banda fenomenal! Rock'n Roll cristão de primeira qualidade!
I shot & edited "Not Rock Stars" in 2001. They had just released their CD, "My God".
Footage was shot in Knoxville and Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Phoenix, AZ and on the road for "72 Hours With Disciple".
my #1 fave band OF. ALL. TIME!!!!!!! I GET 2 C THEM IN 2014!!!!!!!!!! maybe this year idk but I LOVE DISCIPLE
awe, back when they were a heavy metal band, not hard rock. nice.
+Jared Bruce Ah yes, how we yearn for the good ol' days or metal madness.
I used to go hang out before during and after shows with them and Took became a very good friend to me and helped me get thru a very hard time. But I totally miss their direct message and fire. I miss Kevin Brad, Tim, lol and the other guy( if you ever read this Tim you'll know that joke)
the "kick butt" poster in the background. epic
Too funny!! I got to tour with these guys on the NOT ROCK STARS 2K2 tour with my band Junker Jorg. I am friends with them all to this day! They are great humans with great hearts! Love these guys like brothers.
I definitely love Disciple's lyrics in this song. This song definitely defines their mission as a Christian Metal band. All glory to Jesus!!!
One of the BEST metal bands EVER!
Glad to see the Disciple guys had tons of fun making this video, and both the message and the music far surpasses that infamous Nickleback song about rockstars.
This has to be the one of the most humble songs I've heard
I miss this disciple, Still love the band and what they do, but this was so awesome!!!!
Awesome job guys! God Bless
There is something greater
Than anything that money can buy
The privilege and the honor
To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ….. love it…
*** "NOT OF THIS WORLD"...NEITHER AM I...THNX FOR THE MUSIC & ENERGY & HOPE....FROM "EARTHALIEN 77"
great song, great video and awesome band!! 5 stars! :D
servants of the most high,not rock stars!!! great mission and great band!!! metal blessings and god bless!!!
Ha ha! I love how Brad Noah is trying to impersonate Brett Michaels during his solo.
So Disciple came to play a show @ our church in Oct. 2009 and it was off the hook. they wanted to go see cage fighting in town that night so I got to haul them around and hang out with them.very humble, down to earth guys.too bad that Kevin is the only founding member in the band
I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video man great shooting. Wish I could’ve seen them at this point in their career
Thanks for the comment & compliment.
That seems like a life time ago. Good times
I have been following these guys since there were only 3 of them. Kevin not only sang but played bass. Kevin, Brad, Tim
They look like they have so much fun.
Great song with a great message.
These guys are awesome!!!!!
O clipe do dia!
They are the original members.
Kevin Young - bass & vocals
Brad Noah - guitar
Tim Barrett - drums
I haven't worked or even spoke with the band for a several years so I don't know why they added Joey Fife. But it seems to work & I enjoy their new music.
I shot & edited that one. We had a lot of fun.
The pool scene was shot at a friend of a friend of a friend's house. The "Kiss" shot was after a hot & sweaty concert. The make up wouldn't stick to their wet faces. Glad you enjoyed it.
All the bands (except Spark & Everybody Duck) were from the Knoxville area. Spark was from the Dayton, OH. area and Everybody Duck was from Phoenix, AZ.
Seen these guys a few years ago with another cool band called the 7 method.
BOTH were great live!
awesome awesome awesome awesome!
Very Talented Band dude!! Thanks for directing me here.. jakeman.. I kust recently stated youtube fewmonths ago so I am on not roo often but RRTNTV brought me to your link yesterday! Thanks :)
Nah..armorton is no hater. I dig what he says. I like their old stuff. But they've been thru a lot of changes the past few years. They changed record labels, Joey took over on bass, Kevin moved to frontman/vocals, Brad left & 2 guitarist replaced him. If you've ever been in a band you'd know all those new people are going to influence the music. The new music will reflect it. I'd say the fact they're still togehter is a testament to their strength. They've grown, try to grow with them.
Dsratzlaff - Thanks for writing. Yes, they ARE very talented. They have made some changes since I last worked with they. Kevin (the bassist) in now the vocalist and they got a new bassist. The guitarist (Brad) left the band & has been replaced. But Brad still write music for them.
Hallelujah, amen. praise the Lord.
@drakgrotta I thank you for my part (cameraman & editor) and I'm sure Disciple thanks you too.
Not Of This World!
Would love to play a show with these guys someday just because they seem so ridiculously funny. xD Plus their music is pretty good too... y'know... that might be part of it.
hahaha fall ??!!! YA RIGHT!!!! haaa they only get more awesome every single day.....God is BLESSING these guys for sho!
Love it !!!!
Yep. Same guy. Kevin Young.
His hair used to be almost waist length.
inside scoop... We stopped for lunch at a sandwich shop. While there a cop car pulled in with 2 officers. Kevin knew them & talked them into doing the "arrested" scene. I grabbed the camera & we all headed to the back of the shop near the trash cans. After 10 minutes of impromptu shooting we had what we needed. Gotta love the cops in small towns. Thank you for your service gentlemen.
I can't recall the dog's name but he belongs to Brad (guitarist).
Pause the video at 1:25 (band members at the top of stairs) . The dog is next to Brad. Then again at 2:30. The dog is sitting at Brad's left side. We just thought it would be cool to stick the dog in the video.
this is old...but so ROCKIN!!! Disciple Rocks!
Love this song!
It's hard to say which album rocks more, By God or Scars Remain. Though their sales don't show it, Disciple seems to strike gold with every album they release.
Who says Christian Rock has to sound lame!? This is a rockin band with an awesome heavy sound!
@Jakeman3 Yes it is. God has blessed Kevin and his band members so much. I saw them perform this past summer and it was epic!
I don't know where KISS gets their make-up but we got ours from a theater make-up supplier. Unfortunately, the guys were all sweaty when we tried to apply it. We didn't have time to wait for them to cool down so we did the best we could. You'll notice there are no close up shots of them in make-up. We should have shot the KISS spoof before they worked up a sweat. Also, take LOTS of paper towels & cold cream when you plan to use heavy make-up. Live & learn, right?
I so love your songs that's right be yourself and praise your maker at the same time . he gave you talent man I love this awesome rock it in heaven on earth. amen
By God, Scars Remain & Southern Hospitality... But BY GOD will always take first place as its one of the older albums which truly represents Disciple’s core. Radical is okay but hopefully it’s a step to return back to the original core
Super oold school Disciple! I love it, though, Back Again is their best CD. :p
@Jakeman3 great insight and message brother it is sad we have to share this message to those who dont believe and seem to hate us so.Maybeyour style of reply will win a soul for THE ROCK God Bless you brother
This is the perfect Disciple Song for my upcoming Brutal Slamming Christian Death Metal Band Living Cadavers to cover. I really wish Kevin Young didn’t shave half his head.
yea i agree i feel great after listening to them , cant get that with every bad :o
I don't mean to speak for the band but I'm pretty sure "Not of this world" means they don't get involved with the worldly crap (drugs, & other intoxicants, sex out of marriage ect) that is ungodly & often times ruins lives. They also work at staying humble in spite of their talent & popularity. I spent time on the road with them. There were no demands for the best motels or gormet food. They drove a funky van & ate at Subway.The Word IS sufficient but so many have turned away from it.
@healersayain13 it WAS a lot of fun but a lot of hard work too and a fair bit of traveling (Knoxville, TN, Nashville, TN, Phoenix, AZ, and somewhere in Georgia (I think Atlanta -it all gets blurry after a while.). Oh yeah...... it was fun.
@CarterAbbyLove there was a time that long hair was a manditory requirement for rock music. Especially Metal. You were considered out of uniform if it wasn't at least shoulder length. Now-a-days, any length, any color or any shape is an exceptable part of the uniform.
@greivous45 We really messed up the room but nothing got broke & we put it back together when we were done. The president of their record label at the time left a very nice tip for the house keeper.
I sure miss Brad!!!
+Bill Wells Yep. He was quite a dynamo & a lot of fun.
Praise in the name Jesus
Amen 🌅
Thanks for clarifying :)
They wanted to "mock" Kiss. That scene should have been shot before they worked up a sweat. But it was the last scene we shot & we had trouble getting the make up to stick or stay where we put it. It took longer to get them in make up then it took to shoot. One take was all we could get before their faces slid down to their chest.
BY GOD released in 2000 on Rugged Records
@sk8te182 God is about as far away from boring as you can get, my friend!!! Open your mind and your heart and you'll see just how amazing He truly is! That He would send His only son to die for us is astounding in and of itself, but to also show us such mercy and grace and beauty when we, the depraved and sinful murderous, salacious fiends, don't deserve it...it leaves me speechless...the "reckless, raging fury that they call the love of God!" Praise Adonai, Praise God, Thank You Jesus Christ!
whoa is hair is waaaaaaaaay different
I am not now or have ever been in the band but I did spend a lot of time with them when I shoot & edited the videos. All 3 were very much involved with their church, They do an alter call at the end of their performances.
So yes, I'd have to say the guys are Christians. But they rock hard, don't they?
the intent was to spoof the solo in Van Halan's "Hot for the Teacher". We never discussed Brett Micheals. I think Brad was just having a good time & making all the "Rock Star" moves. Plus, how often to you get to walk across a banquet table of a high class restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in Knoxville, TN?
The image at 1:20 is from the roof of the same building.
Hey... maybe these guys ARE rock stars.
I love this song so much that after I start my music career that one of my upcoming bands covers it. I’d also love to have an album called Not Rock Stars because I plan on using my music to worship God and not fame.
yep....everyone loves the KISS scene. It almost ended up on the edit room floor. It was the last scene we shot. The boys were all sweaty & the make up wouldn't stick to their skin very well. We did the best we could & got 2 or 3 takes before their faces melted & slid off. I'll never make that mistake again.
Thanks for watching & your comment.
I wish they would play at my school...
@18Dmar1 they can rock with the best of them but they're really quite humble. At least they were the last time I worked with them.
back again :-)
i agree to!
SPANISH
Yo no estoy ahora o alguna vez ha estado en la banda, pero lo hice pasar mucho tiempo con ellos cuando disparo y editado los videos. Los 3 fueron muy involucrado con su iglesia, hacen un llamado al altar al final de sus actuaciones.
Así que sí, yo tendría que decir que los chicos son cristianos. Pero el rock duro, ¿no?
OOPS! Knoxville, Tennessee. I guess I assumed everyone would connect Knoxville with TN.
Maybe that's a kin to the Simpsons living in Springfield. There's a Springfield in each of the lower 48 states and the writers have never said which one the Simpsons are from.
Seems the moral here is to never assume.
it just happened to be there.
I’d love to buy Kevin Young’s Bass if he ever decides to sell it.
You'll find it on their "By God" CD
Happy to provide some inspiration but "the guys" don't check this site & I don't keep in contact them. I only shot & edited the videos for them. I'm sure they'd appreciate your comments. W times 3 disciplerocks (dot) com/home
@ogmetalhead Thanks ogmetalhead. I learned a LONG time ago you can't change a mind or open a heart with an argument. Have you ever heard anyone after a screaming match say, "You know, he's right. What an idiot I've been". Most of the time the best I can hope for is to plant a seed & hope it takes root. Sharing the message with them isn't sad. It's our duty. Aren't we supposed to share "the Word"? The sad part is they don't get it. Most people fear & hate what they don't understand.
Hello from Los Angeles, California, USA.
I'm not exactly sure what your question means.
@Jakeman3 It's a sport man, even football players get hurt, along with basketball players.
Not rock stars, just a little! :D
wow ke buena
Rite on Jakeman3.. Pass on some love if you talk to them. This song is truly a part of my daily routine, and I inflict it upon my neighbors whenever I can..I will definately check out the site..thanks for the info
yes
I still wish Kevin Young didn’t shave half his head and kept his hair as long as it was 20.5 years ago.
Anyone feels like the video is really contradicting with the song? U know how when they sing not rock stars they are doing exactly what a rock star would do? I am a fan of disciple but this is just something i noticed.
@Jakeman3 ya, true. even baldy Ian Scott had hair on his head then. lol
"Not of this world" they sing, but why does it seem like they are of this world? I find that a compelling argument for all the folks trying to attract the lost. The Word is sufficient Alone. That's not of this world.
