Who is that guy, anyway? :)

[@chrism2887]

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I wasn't too sure if that was you in the video or another guy with the same name. Then I heard you sing and I was like "Yup! That's him." Btw, I'm subscribed to your channel and I love your content. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@spaceguy7777]

The vocals...the bass...the drums....that awesome lead git 🎸 jam.....and last but not least...the message.......just awesome

[@veronicaprmanagerforcreatu3951]

Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I have this on cassette tape.. You still have that amazing voice Ken!!

[@IntriguedU812]

Ken...good stuff. I grew up listening to Shout and Tamplin...def inspired me to play in bands all my life! I happened upon your vocal academy videos today and came full circle with your talent. Keep on going ;-)

[@christianenriquezzz]

Rock on dude.

[@lauroneto3360]

Wait a minute. The guy from the Vocal Academy is a former christian glam rocker from the 80s?? That made my day.. Thumbs UP!!

[@lalmuanpuiapachuau9278]

yeah can sing like David Coverdale

I don't usually become a Christian after listening to Christian Rock.... but when I do it involves face melting solos!

[@renierlombard5758]

Look at all his videos - he has never played a single note on a guitar. It's just a prop

[@mishmashmedley]

@@renierlombard5758/home um... I've seen him in person playing. it may be a prop in a video where standard practice for every artist is to lipsync and pretend, which just proves how ignorant you are

[@JacobHall-gd6iy]

Livin' for my Lord Holding on to all I've known Now the time has come Gotta stand my ground I'm taking life as it comes Oh Lord you keep me holdin on Don't really care whaty people say I know where I'm goin' I found my way And yeah I have the satisfaction Of that straight and narrow road It's no emotional rection I'm gonna reap what I've sown 'Cause I'm Livin' for my Lord... Well life ain't easy as it seems Too many picture perfect dreams Just when you thought it's said and done You realize it's just begun Ain't givin' up on what I believe in For me it's do or die I'm living up for all to see that I don't need a place to hide Livin' for my Lord... Ain't slowing down I'm moving on Pretty soon I'll be long long gone I'm looking up to the sky And in a twinkling of an eye The clouds roll back and Heaven's gate won't hold bakc all those that wait The trumpets blast In one accord we'll all be singing Livin' for my Lord...

[@colemcleod941]

Ken Tamplin back in the day, out-talents Steve Tyler or Axel Rose by a country mile. He out sang them easily, AND shredded on guitar, could move better than any of them. I probably never heard of him because he was a 'Christian rocker' - but holy cow, he could do it all. So could his mates. This is old school shoot-on-a-rooftop guerilla filmmaking, running, jumping and dancing around in front of a camera, running around WITH the camera, no special effects. Just charisma and big hair, backed up by serious musical chops. Tamplin's voice kicked everybody's ass. How did I ever not know about this.

[@amado5490]

Ken's vocals are indeed outstanding. And I agree that he rivals Tyler and out-talents Axl.

[@WhisperingEcho33]

Are you OK? Did you stop taking your meds or something? Meth don't even give you these delusions

[@WhisperingEcho33]

@bobbysiskvocals tops this fraud any day

[@Socketcookie]

OMG seriously dude? Wait I must be misreading this. You did not just say he rivals Tyler and out talents Axel??? I don’t know how much you’re being paid, but it’s not enough to embarrass yourself with those comparisons. Try again.

[@WhisperingEcho33]

​@erikabell3729

[@TheOnePav]

I'm with you, MIles. Not many people out there really grew with and understand Christian Metal, so it comes easy for them to pass judgement. I love Tamplin and Shout and back in the day this video was the bomb. A very talented band.

[@lonelybro77]

That's kinda funny cuz they've got nothing like Deliverance, Tourniquet, Bloodgood, Petra, Stryper, etc...these guys lift Jesus up, whilst putting the devil down. Can they match that? Methinks not!

[@EddieNMendozaJr]

I can't believe Sir Ken Tamplin is a member of a rock band before...Sir ,I salute you ...GOD BLESS AND MORE POWER!!!

It wouldn't let me post earlier. Thought I had made efforts to find Christian rock but some how missed this guy. KZbin recommended after heading into Bloodgood land. Can't say there isn't good Christian rock anymore. May the Lord continue to bless Ken Tamplin.

[@federiconahuelgarcete3871]

Damn...that high on 2:58 was beauty

[@fastthugh]

Ken is older and wiser now. That means he can still write and perform like he was 20, and he's still living for my Lord. In fact, he's a front-line warrior trying to wake the sheeple up to the times we are living in. Fantastic song and whole band performance. Luvin' it :)

[@boobiepuddles]

Tamplin kicks ass. I'm an athiest so I can say that. Still love christian rock but reality and common sense set in.

[@lonelybro77]

Jesus kicked the devil's ass! I can say that cuz I follow him. So, you're the fool that sez there's no God? Then, what is your reality? Joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, love, self-control? Any of the above?

[@rickyperkins5655]

Wow,,who knew Steve Vai used to be lefty and a Christian . But seriously, that lead player is ridiculous! Bravo !!!!

[@billylarouqe1157]

I dont know who the left handed player in the video is, but the lead guitar was actually played by one of my all-time favorite players: Mark St. John from KISS. Today would be Mark's 63rd birthday if he was still alive, but I know he's celebrating with Jesus now. Plus Ken Tamplin is one of my favorite singers, and I especially love his work with Shout. There's too much awesomeness in this song, and it makes me proud to live for the Lord too!

[@John3_16andthensome]

@@billylarouqe1157 The left handed guitar player is an incredibly talented guy named Scott Van Zen who played on many of the tracks on An Axe To Grind. Scott just released a new solo album called No Words. Yes, it is an instrumental CD as the name implies, and it is full of righteous guitar, bass, and drums from beginning to end. I only paid $15 and it came in the mail autographed to me from Scott on the front. How cool is that? Check out Scott's youtube videos. He has a lot of material out there.

[@billylarouqe1157]

@@John3_16andthensome Thanks for the answer. Yes, Scott is a great player and he did some great fretwork throughout the album. That's so nice that he signed the record for you!

How did I miss these guys????...oh yeah ...well till about 1985 I was basically "fried & baked"...then by his grace("supernatural slack"...I've been Living for my Lord!!!! Strange though I never recall hearing his stuff...I was wrapped up in Rez Band and Bloodgood ,Deliverance Bride...etc... well Old school can be New school in the kingdom!

[@lonelybro77]

Wrapped up, eh? Yeah, they're good cover. I saw some of them, but Undercover, Darrel Mansfield, Steve Taylor- they were always playing somewhere- always for free. The Lord sez, Freely you have received, freely give. Amen

[@madkinski]

Is there anything you people can’t blame on the media?

[@EZEvans1]

Yeah, you're right it must be the power of the media and not that Christian Rock is a very small sub genre that most people don't like. I think Ken is one of the most incredible singers, but if he had a mainstream message he would have had a better chance of getting a mainstream response. You might as well have said "thanks Obama"...

Chris if you're one-hundred-percent atheist as you say you are then you shouldn't believe in anything including air including love anything else you can think of, you may not believe in God but he still believes in you Chris! Ask him into your heart and you will find out he is real

[@williampage2104]

Richard Vernon please don’t get me started, it is such an unacceptable act to try to persuade someone into having the same beliefs as you.

[@marka2773]

@@ritchievernon8099 You really need to look up what atheism is. You can be an atheist, and still believe in love. I can't think of any atheist who doesn't believe in air. To suggest that atheists inherently don't believe in these things is completely ridiculous.

[@sacredcowtipper1378]

Cowtipper: Hey Chris, I became an agnostic after believing in God as a Roman Catholic my whole childhood. Some things happened in my life that made me think God can't possibly exist but I was still unsure. One day, God showed me His reality and will to you too if you ask Him humbly to do so if you really want to know the truth. He isn't a Santa Claus though like you see some of these TV preachers today teach. He is high and lifted up, the Creator of all things. To say you are 100% atheist is to say you are omniscient and have all knowledge of all things and that YOU know God doesn't exist out there. You can't know that. None of us KNOW ALL THINGS. Eternity is forever my friend. Please do not take that lightly. Your soul was so valuable to the God you say doesn't exist that He sent His Son to come and die in our place to take the penalty of your sins and we have many my friend. WE all need a Saviour. Some things to think about. There are 2,000 already fulfilled Bible prophecies in the Bible. Jesus fulfilled over 300 of those while on earth. Mathematicians about 3 decades ago did a mathematical probability on one person fulfilling just 8 pre-written prophecies and the “probability” number they came up with was so astronomical that is was impossible unless of course there is a God. Haha. It's true buddy. He loves you. Come to Him. Things are going to get really bad on earth. We are just seeing the beginning and we need to get close to God while we can so that we are not deceived. Check out Russian mathematician Ivan Panin's BIBLE NUMERICS. Yes, the Bible has another layer beneath it like a skin of an onion. Ivan was either an agnostic or atheist and set out to prove God's word was not true. He became a believer after discovering the Bible Numerics phenomenon throughout all its pages and spent the rest of his life finding these things in every verse. Nobody knew of this mathematical layer until God used an atheist/agnostic like you to figure it out. God's word is written both with language and numbers my friend. I can give you other reasons but if this is not enough, I will leave it at that. Here is a link with videos on Bible Numerics. kzbin.info/aero/PLwm7qmU6JaJL05_wGRGt1MpvWgFiV7u2w Most people really don't come to God not because He hasn't proven His existence by His Creation and other proofs but because they don’t want to turn to Him knowing He will want to change their lives and make them holy. Thing is Chris, He does the work in us and changes our desires to His if we let Him. There is one way, one truth and one life unto the Father, and that is Jesus the Christ (John 14:6).
