Yahweh - by Stryper( Lyric Video) - Reaction - Wow Heavy Song - Heavy Subject!

[@dealy9268]

As a born again Christian I started to listen to them as a teenager. I am 53 now. Stryper is my all time favorite band. They have continued to put out great music for over 30+ years! The dueling guitars between Oz Fox and Micheal are unmatched! Robert Sweet is an amazing technical drummer. Tim Gains and now Perry are great bass players. Micheal has one of the best voices. I listen to both Christian bands and noChristian bands. Stryper will always be my favorite. This song is great musicaly and lyricaly. It's as if they are driving home the message of what JESUS did for us and how he was not just killed but beaten and spit on and demoralized for our sin through a driving melody. If that makes sence.

[@gabead]

Lyrics are deep because God’s Word is deep :)

[@dealy9268]

Amen!

[@celtasnake]

Nearly as deep as Darth Vader´s Word.

[@Godsrocker1970]

What is more amazing is Michael Sweet is close to 60. He said he has lost an octave but still one the best vocals in all of music period!

[@themechaniacal1558]

As a musician who loves Stryper I think there is a happy medium to be able to rock to the jam and be respectful to the lyrical content. When considering the story of our Lord and Savior and combining that with some heavy hitting metal I can jam and at the same time respect the journey of Jesus because He was in the process of defeating sin with sacrifice and overcoming death through the power of resurrection. No matter how somber I know and have faith that Christ has conquered and in the fullness of time will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. Great video, you guys. Respect.

[@themechaniacal1558]

@andy bosik Yeah, that's not really what I meant, I didn't word it good enough. I agree with you, Jesus was not some stiff shirt. God wants us to love Him and love our neighbor as our self. The power of salvation is freedom. Paul wrote that we are set at liberty and yet he cautioned that we should not then use that liberty as an occasion to sin. But no matter what situation we might be facing we can trust that God remains the same and our status with Him is secure.

[@justmyopinion2745]

After almost 40 years doing this they are still able to rock it out. They are the greatest Christian band EVER.

[@RollenGreenRants]

I think that's a true statement - I listen to them in high school and they still rock to today - What an impressive feat!

[@bbox5938]

For Real. They always seem to sound better and better through the years.

[@judeparfait4879]

The affection of the Lord comes through many mediums. Stryper's music rocks deep and the lyrics are meant to affect you. I love this song

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

Always been my favorite band and this is why. To God be the Glory. So happy you played it.

[@ugadawgs1990]

Their new albums are amazing. God is majestic, the ultimate creative source of all, and the message is the source for all our power. Don’t worry about celebrating and rock it.

[@kevingonzalez9183]

Solo pase por acá y me encontré esto!! Wow, es increíble esta rola, STRYPER aún están roqueando por el mundo!! Una de mis bandas favoritas desde mi niñez y gracias por reaccionar a esta canción y está gran banda. Bendiciones Bro and sis.

[@RollenGreenRants]

Thank you so very much - this is the kind of comment that makes it all worth it in the end.

[@trfatman]

Great reaction video! I understand your ambivalence on the matching of the lyrics with the music. I think with more listens, you will find the music matches the lyrics quite well. The story of the crucifixion includes such power and pathos, but also triumph when we realize the benefit of Christ's death personally. Also, that chorus repeating the name of God, "Yahweh", is a shout of praise, embodying the mighty power of God.

[@thecabinetninja5637]

I've been rocking out to Stryper and other Christian metal bands for decades; as a believer, a disciple and a metalhead, this music brings me joy and gives me chills! Stryper is still recording and touring in 2024, and still killing it. Thanks for the video!

[@dvd1966]

Keep rocking for the rock.

[@freedompanda9438]

I’ve never seen your videos, and have to say I was really stoked to hear your “dilemma,” of rocking to a song with such a somber message. Allow me to try and free you from this guilt cage so you can rock freely! 🤣 First, Stryper wrote it and performed it the way that they did for a reason. If you hear their stuff, they CAN do slower ballads. They’re beautiful. BUT…they chose not to here on purpose. My thinking: this moment was one of history’s most powerful. ALL of history. This moment is pure metal. Literally, chains. Imprisonment. The fate of a man in their hands. And this man, who knows he’s going to die, straight up looks this authority figure (who holds his life in his hands), and tells his to his face, “You have no authority over me.” THAT, my friend, is about as hardcore, rocking, and metal as it gets. Like so many stories in the Bible that are somehow mischaracterized - as if they should be seen through rosy glasses or something, or treated gently as if they’re fragile - the guys in Stryper decided to say, “He’ll with that!” and gave it the justice through a gnarly, rocking, crunchy delivery. Because it’s a damn gnarly, rocking, crunchy story! Jesus was a badass. Pure and simple. And this song displays what this story SHPULD portray, in a way that does it justice. So yes, it’s solemn. But Jesus knew He’d be back. To him it was already written. Which. Is. Bad. Ass. So rock out, freely. It’s completely ok, because this is a song of victory, not a song of sadness and defeat!

[@andthensome512]

This is the kind of song that took down the wall of Jericho.

[@cobyrobinson383]

That Was *FIRE* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelabrams1244]

A symphony can express majesty, a choir may express reverence, but some things... some things should be expressed with power. Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the POWER OF GOD for salvation to everyone who believes." Jesus brought war on evil, died, rose from the dead by His own power (resurrection life), and did it all to save us! Yeah, I think Stryper got it right. Powerful music for a powerful message. Thanks for video!

[@jameslyons5504]

You don't have to be solemn with Christian metal. We are allowed to rock out while praising God.

[@weshoward450]

I saw them in concert a few years ago and they opened with this one - absolutely amazing. And I am going to see them in a couple days again. BTW - the story in the song is actually a contrast within itself. It is a tragedy, but it is also a triumph, so rock out and be uplifted!

[@ryanblount4912]

it rocks because JESUS ROCKS. Think about how he challenged the entire religion of the day. HE IS RISING again brother and sister

[@michellegonzalez7202]

I love this song so much probably my first introduction to them

[@rfern1965]

Glad you liked it. Don’t feel guilty about rocking out, that’s what the song was designed for. It sneaks that message in to the evil headbangers. Much like how Ghost sneaks their message into the nice mainstream. It just becomes a more powerful message in music you relate too but AOAFEPO. This shouldn’t be sad as it’s common belief, yes. Saying that, it gets me at the end still to this day. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🚌💨💨💨💨🎸🎸🎸🎸

Just started, but is this the link you dropped in regards to my previous comment 😏? I read the comments, but all of em for the most part, by the time I move on, stuff gets compressed, and confusing to what was what😌😏

Hello from Brasil, I'm a christian, all my Life, 4* generation in my family, Brasilian South BAPTIST, I 'm 45 age, Styper is my second favorite band, PETRA is the fisrt. Others bands like Led Zeppelin, Guns, clCreedence and INXS are very good. YOUR job in this video it's awsome. Sugestions: BRIDE, WHITECROSS, PETRA, GUARDIAN, wonderfull bands.

[@jameslyons5504]

Don't know where you see despair in this song. It's song of redemption. It's what was done for us.

[@billycomstock4967]

It’s only sad if you’re not saved , but yes, this is a great happy song of redemption !! Praise God

[@benireges]

I suggest taking a look at their discography to get an idea of how far they have come

[@cometblazt]

Great album great track, thanks for the review

YYYEESES ! 🎤🤣 🤯🤯🤯

[@ryant3600]

Check out Strypers Blood From Above from their last album released last year. Michael Sweet is one of the busiest dudes in Rock n Roll these past 10 years.. He's done a few solo albums, like 5 Stryper albums, 2 albums with George Lynch, 1 with Tracii Guns, he wrote a book and this year he's touring w/ Stryper plus they're hoping to have a new Stryper album out this year as well as another Sweet/Lynch album as well as a solo album.. The dude is on fire.

Epic song ...

I cry every time I hear this song. I got saved oct 181995

[@mikehenry5817]

Awesome song🔥🔥🔥🚌💨💨💨💨, thanks for the fuel Robert 😁👍👍. That's always benn my issue with rock and metal. I can only focus on one or the other. Lyrics or instrumental. And instrumental always wins with rock and metal. I have to hear it a lot of times to get the message often. Some stuff is easily followed. But the metaphorical, the double entendres, the universal concepts that can be taken differently depending on the individual. That's when the lyrics loose me in rock and metal way to often. Doesn't seem to be a problem with any other music though 😏. I think the guitar and drums speak louder to me in general though. I have absolutely no musical talent, which makes me appreciate those who do so much more! Part of why music appreciation is so beneficial to me here. It's not a total breakdown, but I get the jist way better, which allows for better understanding. 😉👍

[@shawneldridge4465]

Stryper dose have a new cd coming out in October sometime

Bloodgood "Lamb of God" is another great Christian metal tune

[@gracetrumpslaw]

That whole album is great - that song is epic. Too bad it wasn't released in a time people would have recognized it- such a great song.

[@Mushin-Flowstate]

Once you learn more about Jesus and his story, you actually realize that his story, sad and sacrificial as it is, is a conquest over death for all mankind. It should be celebrated and mourned at the same time

[@dpwellman]

Great track, right? I have a sort of answer, maybe, for the dilemma of lyrical content versus musical content that might evoke juxtaposed spiritual response. Sleeping Giant - "Tithemi". That band takes the Psalm "Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy!" oh quite literally. For me, Sleeping Giant is as spiritual a it gets, or maybe Im used to it. Or maybe its nice to have a band that leaves nothing to be desired who and what they stand for.
