Stryper - Live on a Late Night TV show.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

I AM A HUGE.. ENORMOUS.. MONUMENTAL FAN OF STRYPER..777!!!!!!

[@jonesanrchy1980]

This was the stryper song that grabbed me years ago

[@sdamron67]

Awesome. We need more of this kind of music with positive messages. I love there harmony.

[@lisalang8123]

Killer snare sound.

[@yarxam]

I remember I waited til midnight when this aired. I couldn't miss this performance back in the day! I still have this recorded on VHS!!! Stryper continues to make awesome music to this day!!! STRYPER 4EVER!!!

[@Tonyr67]

Indeed, allthough we don't share the same opinion, I really respect yours. I am glad that we can have this discussion without losing respect for eachother.

[@heartywhistler]

I'm SO glad I found this video! One of their very best tunes! I was a HUGE Stryper fan back in the '80's. For me, it was Stryper, Van Halen and REZ. This video REALLY cheered me up! I posted it on facebook ... just EXCELLENT!!

[@browilliams]

Say what you will, in their time, these guys were at the top of their genre.

[@emedina73]

They sure are,I remember them from my middle school days,I still jam to them to this day.

[@MrPigeon]

This was The Late Show, a FOX program originally hosted by Joan Rivers until she was fired by the network. Interim hosts in the summer of 1987 included Shawn Thompson (seen here) who played Corny Collins in the original "Hairspray", and Arsenio Hall who went on to become the show's permanent host.

[@confusedsay]

The remarks here are so funny, it reminds me of when I was a child. A baptist preacher told me rock music was satan's music, because it has the beat of African voodoo drums. Funny stuff. He said that's why they don't dance. I listen to all genres of music, and I don't feel it has affected my walk with God.

[@perpetual61]

Stryper will Always be My Favorite Christian Metal Band. These Guys are the Real Deal. They Live there Lives for Jesus. Thanks Michael, Robert, Tim and Oz for Being Solidiers Under Gods Command.

[@s.j.villalobos9220]

Epic moment!

[@jediwise]

Not sure why people are trying to convince me I can't like all of the bands being mentioned at the same time. I dig Metallica. I dig Stryper. I dig guitar rock. I don't care what any of them are wearing when they perform, or if they are Christian or evil, straight or gay. Do they SOUND good. In my opinion, Stryper does, and Michael Sweet's voice could always make the hair on my arms stand on end. Thanks for posting.

[@metalslut1]

I just LOVE Stryper! Cool songs and positive lyrics that cheer me up and out of a dark day!

[@Mark123USA]

The 80's. yep. The good ol'days!

[@forgottenglory]

What a fantastic song! Always gives me the goose bumps and makes my heart beat passionately!!!

[@opie1kanobie]

@bataviaisland He did say they were another category...anyway, Stryper rocks! They always will!

[@browilliams]

St. Paul was once a skeptic. He would later say that what he once thought of as foolish was glory to him (1 Corinthians 1:18, that is in the New Testament if you care to look it us sometime). Maybe one day you'll feel the same way. Peace to you friend. :)

[@Zynyster]

Stryper is the First Concert I saw - and it was the Black and Yellow Attack Tour - and it was awesome! I was young and i smell weed from the audience and that was funny.

[@thesentinel5523]

They sound fucking amazing live.

[@Josh3B]

Dude... you're the coolest.

[@FAEMINOSMITH]

I saw them playing in Madrid, Spain, recently and they are really good, they are rock stars indeed. One day I went seing a concert of FireHouse and I realized that few bands are one step further, they play with real TALENT, passion and quality. Firehouse is one, and STRYPER for sure too.

[@mofrakker]

This was before the FOX network & the Arsenio Hall show. I remember this. They were in the TV listings but their name was ommited in the intro. They only mentioned:' and we have a christian rock band, wich should be good'. No playback. Vocals sound great.

[@robatuta]

I agree with you

[@opie1kanobie]

@TheFryingFish He is perfect, and He did create us as beings who have a free will to choose to follow Him, or to not follow Him. He will judge us on what decisions we made with what we knew and whether we had been given the truth enough to understand it...He's not condemning someone for what they don't know.

[@kilothekiller]

im glad to see that GREAT vid. ALien8ed, postea mas videos de los que tu tienes please.

[@LUKEOLIVEIRA1]

i am from brazil and i love stryper to death,i listen to them everyday,they are my favorite musicians and will always be that is for sure

[@guitarwithjamesoffical]

yeah man

[@davidquesada6666]

That song! Amazing!

[@chrismoody9855]

I wish there was a better quality copy out there. But thanks for sharing! Stryper rocks for Jesus Christ!!

[@markdermody7370]

Awesome

[@Tonyr67]

THNX man!

[@blazervb]

This was an episode of th Joan Rivers Show with a no-name guest host. Awesome to see Stryper on mainstream tv.

[@mrgitarman]

@FAEMINOSMITH I totally agree dude! Good taste there

[@BangTango]

the greatest band that have ever walked the earth!

[@pablodasnyc]

i'm a total atheist and I don't give a shit...Stryper was the best of their genre by far! They tailored their songs to be inclusive. they're cool!

[@steve89z]

my birthday today may 18 1954 i'm 56 and i think this band is exc!

[@corpusc]

they really are. it definitely sounds diff than the album. but the differences aren't too obvious cuz they do such a good job live

[@troyconley727]

Love this song. Love this album

[@midgebarker4022]

One of my favorite songs in their entire catalog of songs. Sing Along Song is Awesome. Wasn't really a hit but a hit with me.

[@jakefoxx7978]

I love the vocalizing most

[@forgottenglory]

Intoxicating melodies...love this song!

[@BBHemisnJets]

AWESOME and its NOT a click track.. (lip sinc Hiphop song)..!! like today.! what the heck show was this?

[@Sean1991Guitar]

Man Oz have some HUGE hair ! Love this song =D

[@cingle2004jp]

Look, honest, still great

[@metalman1767]

Great song!!!!

[@angryagain3801]

SO cool to see this!

[@opie1kanobie]

@TigertailzBezerk Stryper does talk about sin in Soldiers Under Command..."through Him, without sin, we have victory..." They don't go into what is sin, and what isn't. I'm sure they figured that it was for each one to work out their salvation with fear and trembling, as it says in the word. Also, they handed out the word of God at their concerts, so kids would read and understand what sin was directly from God's word, and from the promptings of the Holy Spirit, our Wonderful Counselor.

[@maxxrocket]

Awesome song! Thanks for posting.

[@me12jun]

AMAZING BAND!

[@Terranova1469]

awesome live snare sound....

[@brotherkellymatthewbarnes8882]

This is not too shabby for a VHS recording.

[@tbnterprises]

Yeah man, that was a great tour!

[@davidjones2048]

Yeah they came to Cleveland twice on that to her once with TNT and a hurricane and the second time with loudness man they sounded so good I couldn't believe how much better they were than some of the arena asks I was paying high-dollar to go see

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

david jones They were with White Lion here in Missouri on that tour when I seen them. Would’ve much rather have seen Hurricane. Seen Loudness open for Motley on Theatre of Pain.

[@DannyDeraney]

This was the Joan Rivers Show when it was on FOX. They fired her and had a bunch of guest hosts until the show was ultimately canceled. I remember staying up to record this. LOL!

[@juliocesarjerep]

Parabens , essa banda é o maximo !!! S2 Stryper ........by Brasil .

[@PcaKestheaod]

80s glam dude. Other then bands like Metallica, this was what metal was.

[@mcdownt]

Awesome video find, thanks for posting!

[@roysummers503]

STRYPER ROCKS FOR JESUS CHRIST RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR TODAY LOVE YOU GUYS EVERYWERE JESUS LIVES FOR EVER 777

[@p4cbassman]

Wow an actual live performance, usually you have to play to a track

[@mcdownt]

Thank you so much for posting this, what late show was this and was it 1986?

[@TotalSinging]

because he wanted people to be able to see him play. he didn't want to be hidden behind the kit like every other band. Just to be different. Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger also sits sideways.

[@sepulthrax]

@classicmetalhead88 me too!

[@Tonyr67]

BTW, Stryper is a great band! ;)

[@bagelboy59]

That dude definitely did not know how to introduce the band lol.

[@emedina73]

Hey Tonyr67,I checked out your vid of you improvising on the drums,and I just wanted to say that it was pretty impressive,and you were only improvising,that's pretty damn good.

[@turduckens4u]

Yea never got into there so called Message but loved there music and talent they had.

[@JuleeBeth]

Maybe if church was more like this, I'd go more.

[@jollyroger1009]

xJuleeBeth xJoleeBeth It is these days. The songs are mostly rock songs now, and the bigger churches are like a rock concert. Pretty good actually!

[@jeffsond]

Oz Fox started a band called Sin Dizzy. I have to check if there is anything on you tube?

[@classicmetalhead88]

i like Megadeth too and i am from Baltimore.i also like KIX,METALLICA,KISS ANTHRAX,and many more.

[@aceto1900]

@FAEMINOSMITH Glam rules, they're all superstars

[@corpusc]

haven't seen Stryper live, but best band i've seen live was Overkill during their Under The Influence tour. and i'm not a fan of theirs, but they just did such a good job.

[@jayermis6726]

Michael is singing Live on this program.

[@richymandawgs]

@Jfladager Stryper is one of few Christian bands that are actually good!

[@Sean1991Guitar]

@opie1kanobie yep

[@sepulthrax]

My favorite bands are Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Motley Crue, KISS & Stryper!!! Am I the only person in the world that likes ]v[egadet]-[ & Styrper???

[@stryperken]

man, you have been holding out.

[@Mattera1]

@tylermorin1000 ya they are, i have seen em live and watched many vids of em as well and I am pretty sure they are singin, stryper doesnt lip sync they are 2 good and actually I am goin on a road trip to go see them tomorrow with Slaughter+ lynch mob

[@mikekiske]

@jediwise Man YOU SAID ALL!!!

[@cheesenbiscuits]

Because some of the words in the original language have ambiguous or difficult to translate meanings, debates over the correct interpretation occur. For instance, the word used in the masoretic text at Isaiah 7:14 to indicate the woman who would bear Emmanuel is alleged to mean a young, unmarried woman in Hebrew, while Matthew 1:23 follows the Septuagint version of the passage which uses the Greek word parthenos, translated virgin, and is used to support the Christian idea of virgin birth.(wiki)

[@jba3438]

Uma coisa que pra mim valeu apena ... foi um suporte pra marmita q na hora de comer vc encaixa no volante... parece q não mas dá uma diferença enorme...

[@abelcainsbrother]

@opie1kanobie But everybody has heard about Jesus and have made a decision already to believe in him or not.There might be a few places where people have not heard but it is some faraway third world country somewhere. Check out Bride's song Everybody knows my name.

[@emedina73]

Who do you think blessed us with the ability to reason,einstien?

[@TyAndras]

Oh they're definitely singing but there is added extra harmony parts during the chorus and hook. It's more than just three-part harmony and there's nothing wrong with tracking specially during that time had to sound like the album there was so much production that you had to have tracks or keyboard player to do a lot of their stuff especially in the God we trust album live I remember when to hell with the devil came out I got it with its original picture. I can't even remember but I know ther

[@ehrldawg]

*Sing A Long Song*

[@jayermis6726]

People say type that Stryper lip syncs live on stage for the camera. They do not on this clip. So there!

[@marthasouza3672]

They sing live .

[@davidjones2048]

No on the break down there that was all stryper earlier on the course they use a harmonizing machine so they can get more full sound but all bands do that they are totally a great live band and they are all live

[@guitarwithjamesoffical]

night :D

[@Vegas01973]

@lgrabarek Well said! I'm an atheist and I absolutely LOVE Stryper!! Great music is great music. Period. To Hell with the CRITICS! Okay, well not literally of course! I don't believe in hell. I've been listening to Stryper since 1984. I've outgrown religion but not Stryper. :)

[@jollyroger1009]

Vegas01973 That's awesome. I was a christian in high school and all my acdc loving friends used to laugh at stryper. Pretty cool that you liked them for their sound. It would be good to go back in time and I'd introduce you to them, haha.

[@TheEncounterGODWorshipChannel]

Skillet. Sixpence None the Richer. Switchfoot. Michael W. Smith. Amy Grant.

[@dovecamp1845]

😎

[@permanentgrin]

I hope they dont include this song at the 25th anniversary tour.

[@vampiroangelico]

White Heart!

[@LightOfReason7]

Stryper rocks! Who was the guy introducing them, what show? (Seem like the video tape is kid of slow or something)

[@3impersonators]

Why does the video move so funny? Heh, Michael looks like he doesn't know what to do after they finish.

[@b37mech]

Jars of Clay also made it.

[@ashisrocknroll]

@MerchantofTarshish Didn't Christ have long hair?

[@tylermorin1000]

does any one know if they were really singing i cant tell if they are

[@markpetarde346]

Tyler Morin it's definitely live. but it does have pumped in harmonies and some keyboards added in

[@opie1kanobie]

@mrv1967 I've seen that sort of attitude in concert, but I think it's just him trying to perform...I have seen him more recently, since his wife passed away, and I don't see that attitude any longer. With all the success, it does affect people, but if that's the biggest thing that he's had to deal with, then I'm glad the Lord seems to have dealt with him regarding that.

[@1thenatural1]

where did oxygen carbon and all the other stuff come from?

[@Auromelie]

God is L O V E...NUFF SAID...

[@metalpsalm]

Stryper: They were just better.
