I was toatally in shocked when I heard that both Guy & Marshall was leaving the GVB, Guy just is a sweetheart & his voice melts my heart to me his voice gave so much to the GVB, I wil deffinately miss him & I do want to wish him all the best. Marshall, oh man could he ever sing his voice gave me chills when he sang I loved the way he sang Jesus Loves Me on the Give it Away CD & DVD. Both Guy & Marshall have a very special gift from God & their voices will be missed. God Bless & Best to you both.

seeing Guy go is sad he has been my hero since i saw him sing. I guess its time for new and exciting changes for him and GVB. As for Micheal i think he possess one of the most beautiful voices and i believe judging him is not in our judrisdiction but Gods

Yes, he does have a beautiful voice, and I thought his version of "Give Up" on the GVB reunion video was outstanding. It made me think Michael needs to get back into singing with the group.

May God be with you alway. you will make it my family and i will be praying for you.

Kia Ora (Greetings) Atiria & Tai, I am just devastated, shocked, that Guy Penrod has left to pursue a solo career after 14 years with the GVB. I guess, there comes a time when one has to move on and explore other avenues in life, and venture out from their comfort zone. No doubt! Guy Penrod will wow the audience where ever he goes. Guy, as we say here in Aussie, Best of luck mate!! God Bless you Guy and your family. Penny the (Kiwi)

THIS IS TERRIBLE! A DISASTER! I really hate to see Penrod go. He's been with the group since 1994 if I'm not mistaken, and in my mind really made the group so much better. I'm glad to see Mark Lowry come back because I think he's got a great voice and a great since of humor to fit it. But I can't say that I'm all that excited to see Michael English coming back. No offence to him or anyone, but I just don't think that he is the best singer that they could have gotten, and also considering his past, which actually I shouldn't give thought to. I'm sure the Lord has forgiven and forgotten, and so should I. I wish the best for the new GVB lineup, and I still hope that I get to play piano for these guys one day, before the group changes again.

Yes I will miss Guy too, but Michael English has a great voice and yes his past is forgiven. He has moved on and we need to also because it's all erased in God's book. We need to learn how to let go of the past. We are no better than he is. He was just caught.

I seem to be the last one to know that Guy has left the Gaither Group, believe it or not, its been wonderful to watch you all guys, the amazing work you all do and of course Guy and his long hair was like icing on the cake, but, God has got a wonderful plan for each one of us and I can already see Guy blessing us in his solo career and I also believe, the Group as it stands today is all that God wants for today and we will still see even greater things that we never dreamt of Our God is a great designer/architecture. Me and my family love your ALL.

Guy Penrod, in his humble understated way, has been the power in the GVB - Bill is the organization and other have great voices but no one came replace the character and Godliness Guy has demonstrated again and again. There were no advertisements, no online promotions but the grapevine finally prompted me to call the Music City Centre at Branson, MO - Guy Penrod, alive and well and in concert there on August 30, 2009. If you are truly a fan of his and want to show your support, get thee to Branson!!!

I just saw the new Gaither Vocal Band in Ottawa and it is fantastic! Unfortunately Mark Lowrey could not be there, but Michael English was incredible and so was having David Phelps back. As always, Wes Hampton and Bill were great. It was a glorious night and honored the Lord. Thanks be to a God who does not judge us on our pasts after we have been washed in the blood of the Lamb!

guy penrods departure is sad news to this gaither fan, guy penrod has been a steady rudder in the gaither family in more ways than one, he has the Holy Spirit all over him as he sings, Howard, Vestal, Jake, Brock, Rex, J.D., these great giants are in Heaven and guy was still a reason to not miss the gaither family on a visit. guy penrod you will be missed.

How unfair for you to even consider Michael English's past...His voice, although probably one of the best next to Larnelle Harris and David Phelps, could be a okay thing to consider, but his mistakes are off limits to anyone but God. If HE is forgiving, and can cast our misdeeds into the sea of forgetfulness, who are you to judge. Read your Bible and re-visit your salvation. Jesus died for all of our sins...Michael, and none of the rest of us are exempt.

Yes, it will be different without Guy, but that is not a bad thing! Change is good for everyone, and Guy needs to be on his own, where his gifts can truly shine. As for Michael English--I have followed his career and have loved him from the start. NO ONE has a right to judge him because of his past because we all are sinners and fall short. Thank God, Michael is recovered and back where he belongs!

It's really sad hearing the news that Guy and Marshall leaves the band.. I do sing their songs at our church and it has been a blessing to me spiritually. These guys are my favorite Gospel singers.. I really can't belive it but i think it's the way God meant it to be. And i'm really lookin' forward to their new encouraging songs! Keep on keepin' on Guy and Marshall! God bless you two!
