Claudio Sanchez writes his own Bible
(Filed under: Spirituality)"I personally don't have any kind of religion. My mother is a Christian, and I always kind of think that the Bible is just a story--no offense to you or anyone. Honestly, that's what I feel the Bible is, and if it is, then maybe I can make one up, too. It's a book about the things that happened before we are now. At the same time, I know that this is not real. I'm not thinking that my thoughts are correct and that's what people are to believe. They're ridiculous, so maybe the Bible is."
-Coheed & Cambria's singer/guitarist Claudio Sanchez about his quadrilogy of albums that he sees as his own version of the Bible. It involves Adam and Eve-like characters who must sacrifice their children to save the universe. (Source: Alternative Press, November 2003)

Well, I am christian and I fully agree with him. Its just a bunch of stories that tell us how we got here and adds a bit of elaboration as well.
(PS: Can't wait for the next album good luck!)

I dont think anything can compare to the bible. No story cause unlike anything, no matter how good or how awesome or imaginative it is, like the quadrilogy of Coheed & Cambria, its not like the Bible. I am a christian, and I am not offended, I know it may seem as if I am, but I am not. just that I dont think that noting can compare to the bible, no matter how good it is. I love there music, and Co&Ca is becoming my favorite band over POD suprisingly, a band-o-christians... but thats what I have to say
Posted by: Jarrett at February 27, 2005 12:47 AM
True! the Bible is a story book. Its a book full of stories of people who are examples of how we are to and are not to live. every story in the bible except for one is about a mans fall for whatever... and it shows there dependence on God, Josh, and Spirit. Claudio is an amazing story teller, talented writer, and has a wonderful and wide open imagination. I love this band, and there music, but I cant see how musice and the whole Co&Ca story is like The bible... 2 different worlds to me... I cant wait for Star 4! HURRY!!!
Posted by: M'tum2bo at February 27, 2005 12:56 AM
I extremely love Coheed and Cambria. Their music is like no other and it's incredible what they do. I feel exactly the way that Claudio does. I really just don't have a religion. I grew up in a lutheran home but we were never too religious. I never learned about what being a lutheran really was, so it would be unfair to call myself lutheran. I guess I've always kind of been lost as to what I am. I also saw the bible as story too. It never really hit me I guess. I wish the best of luck on the upcoming album, I CAN NOT wait for September 20th. It just doesn't come soon enough.
I love you Claudio and Coheed and Cambria, keep up the extroadinary work.

I love claudio and his voice is frikken awesome. I'm lookin to start a music career of my own and his voice is totally what I feel I want to aim for. I know it'll never be exactly the same but I'll give it a shot. Anyway. I really have no religion. I'm not even that religious anyway. But I don't want my mom or jewish friend to find out. Because they're really serious about religion. I do believe that there is a spirit that guards some of us (not me though... my life is messed up! Lol). I also believe that whatever you do or don't believe for that matter is right and everyone is an alternate being who does their own thing.

well i dont know exactly what i am i like what you said it makes sense.its hard to believe just one religion.like i believe god was here but im not sure if hes waiting for us.i dont wanna believe the wrong thing but if claudio came out w/ a bible i would read it.Claudio you are the hottest guy ever.Your songs mean alot.

i first heard of coheed and cambria through my sister...i thought coheed and cambria were okay at first, then as i started listening to them more and the lyrics i thought coheed and cambria were amazing...they are so unbelievebly talented to sing and play the way they do...and to make the songs tell a big, interesting story...wow...they are just AWESOME.....

@the dumbasses telling him to talk to him mom about christianity:
he isn't a little kid that is going to be influenced by what his mother says, you are all brainwashed sheep, shut up
Posted by: umbrella at October 25, 2005 1:36 AM
i actually meet cludioin an ally and thought he was the nicest guy ever so whatever he does id=s going to be great no matter what. soe whether he is a christian or not is no matter to me people who are should really look at why they are and wonder if they are because they are afraid.
Posted by: april at October 31, 2005 10:12 PM
Rush is a fair comparison to you, in terms of vocals, but you surpase their abilities as a band by far. I believe no matter what age we are our parents will always influence us, so her impression is probably still wearing enough that you probably do not need to talk to your mother about it. You have an amazing voice and a kick ass new release... if anyone could redo a version of the bible (which I would agree is a book of stories) it would be you.... just damnit I wish I would have thought of it first... c'est la vie
Posted by: Ember at November 2, 2005 11:23 AM
WOW Claudio is HAWT. and you should totally e-mail me. Anyways it doesnt matter what religion anyone is as long as your happy.

ok so i totally understand claudio's thinkin. i used to not belive in god and then mey friend died a little over two weekes ago and at his funeral i started thinking. i don't know if i belive in god now but i know i dont belive in hte bible.
Posted by: Mackenzie Leach at January 6, 2006 10:17 PM
I'm a Christian, though I'm not offended. But to compare the Bible to anything is ridiculous. It is far too complex and intricate to make anything remotely similar to it. And just to clear something up, the Bible is not all stories. Don't get me wrong, it has its share of stories...but it has many other things. And regardless of whether Christians are right or wrong, these "stories" are accurate history that occurred way-back-when places such as Israel, Greece, Turkey, Rome, Egypt, etc. BTW, rock on CaC!
Posted by: Ian at January 10, 2006 8:35 PM
To compare Rush to them is obsurd. Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson are some of the most talented musical artists ever!! Sure Coheed and Cambria is good, but not that good! By the way, you guys really should look into Christianity. Whether it's right or not (which I believe it is), it is good to feel such a warmth and love from God. Why would you live a life thinking God is not real, if you are wrong you will burn in a lake of fire for eternity. But if you are a Christian and are wrong, nothing happens. I think it is not worth taking the risk.
Posted by: me at January 10, 2006 8:40 PM
I am just like you. I don't have a religon because my grandfather is Catholic and my grandmother is Christian. My mom never really picked up a certain religon so I haven't either. I just believe that god is there and that is all I need to know. I think sometimes that the bible may be just as you said "ridiculous", because when you think about it the person who wrote the bible is probably just like me and you. I'm not saying the bible isn't true, but sometimes I believe people put a little to much faith in what they read and hear. By the way you guys are great! Hope to see you in Kentucky some day.

I think claudio rocks his hair is awesome I love coheed and cambria!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Courtney at January 20, 2006 3:42 PM
i think you're all freakin stupid and that claudio should seriously listen to his mom.Who cares if hes grown up, its some thing that hes missing big time. His mom is probably a really good person. viva las chivas rayadas
Posted by: chivas at January 20, 2006 9:01 PM
i believe in god, and jesus, but the bible is totaly ridiculous. its not real at all, though it is partly useful for moral guidance and suchlike. also i am going to a coheed gig in feb1 and its gonna rock coz coheed rock
Posted by: daviddof at January 24, 2006 1:32 PM
I'm so relieved that Claudio Sanchez doen't really talk about God, Yave, but instead talks about a God that he made up, like Zeus for example, a simple made up story. I'm a beliver of Christ and a Coheed and Cambria fan, and now I can finally rest knowing that their Co & Ca songs are just a made up story. Rock on guys.
Posted by: Christopher at February 15, 2006 10:48 PM

WORDS FROM CLAUDIO SANCHEZ.....
“Occasionally, I do get stopped somewhere because people have seen the video. Sometimes it'll surprise me. I'll have my hair under a beanie, hiding it, and I'll still get stopped. Which is really like, 'Whoa! You can't really see my face!' because I have a lot of hair.” HES SO DAMN COOL HELL YA HE HAS ALLOT OF HAIR
