It's the Spirit of the true living God who anoints Christian bands like Stryper to do what they do.Who gives them the Talent,music,lyrics ,creativity,passion and energy and boldness.I don't want to preach but God and Jesus are so real.Giving my life to Jesus was the most important,sensible,and necessary Thing I ever did in my life.Now I have His stengthening power in me every day,a reason to live and to rock,and the full assurance I go to Heaven when I die.Jesus Rocks!!!!

[@blgeiger71]

I agree that Stryper is one solid, rockin band! I was in high school at the time and a good friend of mine and I drove from Augusta, GA over to Fayetteville, NC to see them live on this Tour which was absolutely amazing!!! Such high energy, enthusiasm and passion coupled w/ impeccable musicianship, etc as expected. Fun fact: my first day back at school after that show I wore my concert T-shirt w/ the album cover on the front - one of my teachers sent me to the principal's office because of the words "hell" & "devil"...they wound up making me call my Mom to bring me a different shirt so I could change shirts and stay in school for the rest of the day! OMG

Stryper rules after 30 years. Not many bands can say that they're on top of their game after that much time. Some other great Stryper tracks are "Writings on the Wall", "The Reign", and their cover of Earth, Wind, and Fire's "Shining Star". Michael Sweet is the singer and Robert Sweet (brother) is the drummer. Keep it up dude!!!

[@4everhealthwellness344]

I agree with you my friend, I'm 46, so I grew up in the 80s. My older brother by 4 years introduced me to metal and our church youth pastor introduced us to Stryper. I was OBSESSED with them, had all their albums, saw them live 8 times and met Micheal and Robert Sweet when they played in Muskegon Michigan in 1989 during their In God We Trust tour

[@Deetroiter]

Man they played Muskegon?? If you’re nearby, they’re coming to play the token lounge in Westland! Do NOT miss that show if at all possible. Small venue and stage is practically a foot or two above the floor with no fences, gates, etc…going to be killer

They were my favorite band growing up. I went through a lot of shit and I really dug the music and the message and it helped get me past my own nonsense. Then I started playing guitar and really came to appreciate how unique they are among metal bands. Not better not worse, just a style that really is their own and doesn't sound like anyone else.

[@joshcopeland]

My favorite songs from the classic era are "Rock that Makes Me Roll", and "The Way". Both are face melters!!! My favorite album from the modern era is "No More Hell to Pay". It's chock full of great songs!!!

Michael Sweet also filled in and sang for Boston.

[@mikenastasi8927]

My top 5 singers are Michael Sweet of Stryper, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Not necessarily that order.

[@slamdancer1720]

I might swap Ian for Ronnie James Dio.

[@powoodworker1751]

Hmmm?? It would be tough to decide who would be 1, between Bruce and Geoff......

[@mtaffer]

I love "Reach Out" from "Soldiers Under Command". It's incredibly melodic and even though the chorus is repetitious, it works! "To Hell With the Devil" is a lot more polished than the previous albums and it even gets more polished as it goes on with "In God We Trust". "Soldiers Under Command" is to me their best album with no bum tracks. "No More Hell To Pay" is a really good recent album. Also, they did an album of covers called "The Covering" that has a song called "God" that I think is one of their best songs ever!

[@kforcer]

God is an awesome song. As much as I love Stryper, I think God is probably their best track. Just really powerful and haunting.

[@gordoncohn1197]

The first time I saw them they performed in a small club and I was at the front of the stage, the second time was an outdoor venue over 20,000 easily and it was just the next year. I had an opportunity to see them again this time a club again and it was in 2018 and they still sound great they don't disappoint. I have always liked them because they have a positive message and they do what they love no matter what the critics say.

We were head banging so much I couldn't turn my head for days after. Ahhh... memories. 🤘

Sweet! I helped promote the Benson H.S. show after I went with the promoter, Joe Schomus, to see Stryper at The Warehouse in Sacramento, where we met them. The opener, Saint, used to practice in Joe's one car garage in Salem. Yes, it was deafening and glorious! 🎸

There was a church called Sactuary that all the Christian Metal kids went to, it came about from the Stryper Bible studies. The pastor was a long haired rocker and it was packed every Sunday afternoon. After the service we'd got out for fellowship then head to Calvary Chapel West Covina to hear Pastor Raul Ries.

i heard to hell with the devil when it was released in 86 and was hooked from the first listen

[@Deetroiter]

First time I heard Stryper some years ago, it was one of their ballad songs and, in my ignorance, I chalked them up to all their songs being wimpy and soft like their glam image. Years later, I hear a HEAVY ASS riff in a song called “do unto others”…I had absolutely no idea it was the same band. I couldn’t turn off the repeat button for that song. I started listening to more and more of them…easily became one of my favorite metal bands. They’re one of the only bands I can think of that actually IMPROVED with age getting better and better. I also hugely respect that they don’t shy away from what they are about and where they stand. A lot of bands are quick to sway with the wind…Stryper is unapologetic about who they are. That’s something to be respected. And I can’t even imagine all the shit they’ve taken over the years. Too metal for some Christians, too Christian for some metalheads…although it’s crazy how many fans of all backgrounds they have. Christians, atheists, satanists, and everything in between follow these guys heavily….Stryper is a hell of a band of musicians. One of my all time faves of theirs is “more than a man”…it’s the last track on to hell with the devil. Total banger to end an album on!

[@4themusicman]

More Than a Man is my favorite Stryper song. Completely agree with your assessment of this STILL great band.

[@mikenastasi8927]

It is a classic. In 2016, I saw them perform this album in its entirety for the 30th anniversary of it. Some of the songs was the first time they ever played them live. They did the whole album plus some newer stuff and a Van Halen and Kiss cover.

[@tonyhao9344]

I saw these guys live in the 80s when I was in Hawaii, one of the loudest concerts I’d ever been to. Probably a week till my ears stopped ringing. They were great.. You should check out their live stuff, I couldn’t believe how well the singer played while singing like a boss.

Stryper was actually popular throughout the 80's and got a lot of recognition for their musicianship throughout the decade, so much so that they crossed over to mainstream and released a few albums that were more secular than Christian and crossed back over to Christian metal and has continued to rock on too this day.

[@andrewkubat1506]

Lead Singer / Guitarist Michael Sweet. Released several solo albums since 2015. Check out "One Sided War" and "Ten" In addition to Stryper, and solo stuff, Michael toured with Boston, recorded with George Lynch (Sweet Lynch) and Tracii Guns (Sunbomb) Robert Sweet - Drums Oz Fox - Guitar Perry Richardson - Bass Anything from "No More Hell To Pay", "Fallen", "God Damn Evil", and "Even the Devil Believes"

They kinda set the bar quite high for us 90s teen bands. I don't remember there was any Stryper cover band or tribute band back then where I lived, at least that I know of.

[@daffers2345]

I heartily agree! _Fallen_ is probably my favorite album overall (and it's hard to choose)! The song _Fallen_ itself helped me enormously when I was undergoing some weird spiritual stuff. I also like the song _Take It to the Cross._

[@MrJoeyZaZa]

From my view, being a metal head back in the 80's, Stryper didn't get their fame was because they were a Christian band and it wasn't good with the traditional metal heads, though they did have a pretty loyal fan base of those who were into them. Now that I am older, I've seen these guys in concert numerous times and I won't ever miss them again! They are really a great band and their old shit are classics and they newer shit rocks. Check out the version they did of Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell".

I’m 58 now . In my teens I listened to Stryper not because they were “christian rock” but because they sounded great musically - I was and am a “hair band” 80s fan. Years after listening to Stryper did I realize that most all their lyrics contain mostly “Christian” songs … I was to busy rockin to their solid rock sound to really think about it . Years went by and I lost touch with their music . About 6 years ago I started listening to them again - and Holy cow man, Michael is writing amazing songs - the band is playing heavier and tighter than ever . I saw them live about 4 years ago in Dallas . Michael is a perfectionist- he makes sure the music is loud, clear, and that everyone is getting their mind blown . One of the best bands ever to come out of the 80s - truly . Seeing them live / you too will be a believer in Stryper . Go see them this year 2022 - they are playing live in many city’s in the U.S. Another new album will be released around April before the tour starts in May. Stryper may be Christian believers - but Stryper is a true classic / heavier than they have ever been - Rock band

Just found this on KZbin and I have been a Stryper fan since the 90s. They helped me in my journey when I first became a Christian. They are still making music and have an album coming out this coming fall. CAN.NOT.WAIT!!

I actually do go to a heavy metal church. The First Heavy Metal Church of Christ in Dayton, Ohio

I'm so happy you are liking Stryper. I would suggest "The Rock That Makes Me Roll" my favorite song by them. Also, can you please do more Sevendust reactions?

I’m Agnostic and Stryper is one of my favorite bands. Extremely consistent music and they work so hard.

[@dna3169]

One of my favorite bands of all time!!! And this reaction puts a smile on my face .. .... your appreciation of there talent is awesome !!!! Thank you .

[@mikenastasi8927]

You had played The Way from this album as per my request. You and Tasha s reaction was great to it. Then Tasha did my request for Yahweh. You still need to see that.

Been a fan since the beginning, glad to see you giving them some of the credit they always deserved!! Soldiers under command was always my favorite album..

[@suicyco4life666]

They did get the credit and respect they deserved. And now they are.never thought of. Rightfully so.
