| For some reason I was thinking about Ruscha today and thought I'd see if I could find the cd. Saw them group in concert back in '88, and I thought they were pretty cool.

| This was an alright album, but the group with the same lead singer that would follow (Legend Seven) was much better. kevensyle@netscape.net

| I like this album a lot. Andy Denton started off here and went on to do Legend (later changing the name to Legend Seven). The latter bands are heavier than Ruscha but Ruscha is a great start to Andy Denton's future.

| I love this album. It's not metal per say, but it still rocks! I saw them live in 88' it was a great show. I wished they would have made another one. PEACE

| (txfergie81771@aol.com) I remember seeing Ruscha back in 1988 when they were in Roanoke, VA. I saw them with my youth group twice that year. I loved their testimony about their underground churches and struggle in Russia in order to worship Christ. I am hoping to find a copy of their album, and if anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know at the e-mail address above...Thanks!

| To everyone out there. I knew Ruscha when they first started. Nikolai and Peter had some rocky stuff they wanted to add to “Come Alive” but had little to say concerning the direction of the recording. Nikolai was the one that made Andy Denton. Andy could not sing a lick when he came to Ruscha but Nikolai saw the potential in him and spent months after month working on his vocals until Andy was ready to go into the studio. --- Continue in next email ---

| Later, Nikolai has solidified a Sony/CBS agreement for the band but right after the agreement was signed Andy Denton, Billy Williams and Mike Jacobs circumvented the brothers and went to Bubba Smith and Word Records directly behind their backs. Even though it cost the brothers a huge amount of time and personal resources Andy, Billy and Mike circumvented Peter and Nikolai, formed the group “Legend” and worked out a deal for themselves, a pretty rotten thing to do in my opinion. -- continue --

| After Andy, Billy and Mike left Ruscha, Nikolai has put together an incredible album that really rocks but decided not to take it to the labels. I was one of the few fortunate people to hear the songs and they are awesome! I know if he would finish it, the album would have had many hits. Today, even though he is still a Christian he does not want anything to do with the Christian market. I have heard he is producing films in Hollywood and occasionally accepts speaking engagements. - continue -

| If someone knows where I could find the two brothers please let me know. If they still sing and speak I would go to hear them at any time but would not give the time of the day to see Andy, Billy or Mike the phony “Legendary Three”. The END.

| Hey thanks arnart, kid, semi and THE END. I guess the four comments above came from the same person. I was wondering what happened to Ruscha. Now I know and just like you love Nikolai and Peter. Never was interested in Legend and think they are jerks for doing what they have done.

| We knew the brothers when they were starting out and were then 'The Russians' [ the earlier 1980's ] . While in Georgia they visited 'THE LIGHT HOUSE' ,our 'Youth Coffee House' where we ministered to the youth of our community . They are precious people and I continued to pray for them though the years. They have a powerful message. I kept in touch for a while with Peter's wife Lilly. She has such a lovely spirit. I continue to wish them all the best.

| Hey Gang, it's an honor to read the good, the bad and to my surprise there wasn't much ugly. If you guys want to keep in touch with me directly here is my email: PETERINTEGRITY@COMCAST.NET Loved every opportunity to worship the Lord with you at every concert and hope it did more good than I ever thought. Bless you all, Peter Pankratz, just one of the servants of God in Ruscha

Come Alive had some amazing music. I had a tape from before it was finished and wore it out.  Thanks, brothers! GBU

| I heard Peter a Nikolai lied about being Russian and thats why Andy, Billy and Michael left the band. Also, Andy was in several bands before Ruscha and could always sing...so those remarks made in 2005 are really inaccurate!

| Dan is not correct. They openly said from stage that they are from Russia of German parents. They were exiled to Siberia partially because of their religious views and German descend.

| I remember Peter and Nik from my days back at Liberty - they were an amazing duo. I remember dropping the needle on 'Come Home' when it first came out and sitting there crying - it is an amazing song. They started to get involved with a seedy character that I tired to warn them about - and unfortunately - the rest is history. God's hand was on it - but Satan's minions were at hand - and it hurts to see what happened.

| I met and fellowshipped with Alexander Pankratz (brother of Peter & Nik, and 'The Russians' original drummer) when I was in Germany with the Trans World Radio mission. It was many years ago, but Alex introduced me to the music of Ruscha and his testimony still resonates.

| Listened to Come Alive. It was so anointed and filled with the Truth of God's Word (I did not know that back then) so I was able to quit drugs & alcohol without NA/AA meetings. I wanted the Holy Spirit more & more. The band came to Wichita, Ks...and was grateful for the experience. Thank u Peter & Nioolai. I Have been a worship leader for over 20 years now. Still listen to your CD and help others with addiction issues. Is it ok to email u Peter? Do u ever speak in churches? Ronda rtown@cox.net

| I first saw this band perform at Praise in the Rockies in Estes Park,CO. I was hooked after the first song & spoke with them in German & invited them to dinner at the Dun Raven Italian restaurant. The entire band came along with some other folks who were here every year. I purchased their tape & wore it out. I recently heard my pastor say this scripture: The grass withers & the flowers fade but the word of God stands forever. Went on-line & listened to all the songs & was transported back in tim

| They crossed my mind recently and Come Alive is on Amazon Unlimited, so I got to have a listen. It's absolutely amazing that I remember every lick of their music after 30-odd years. Denton reminds me so much of Greg X Volz. I was a huge fan of Whiteheart, Petra, Rez Band, etc during that era.
