Twins React To Stryper- Calling On You!!!!

[@jamesnorthup7717]

I'll show up for any Stryper you do!! Isaiah 53:5 by His stripes we are healed! Loved the first album in 84 to the new album last year! Great band great message, can't lose!

[@ericl1166]

Yes! This, more Stryper!

[@VENOMS_WRAITH]

Same!

[@OTCRock4one]

Great band and listen to those excellent background vocals!

[@michaelkb8783]

I'm not christian but Stryper has some true bangers. The guitar hook on this and "Free" are two of my all-time favorites.

[@davidkilby1043]

Same here

[@PabloQuadriCora]

.. and the solo in MORE THAN A MAN Is awesome

[@stevetate4386]

Same here

[@mikenastasi8927]

STRYPER stands for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness -- based on Isaiah 53:5 -- "But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."

[@VENOMS_WRAITH]

I was going to say the same thing if no one else had

[@edmonguy]

Robert Sweet is one of the two greatest drummers in the history of popular music (the other being Max Weinberg) and yes, the difference between them is that Sweet uses one of the largest drum kits you'll ever see; Weinberg's kit has four drums. Michael Sweet's voice is special. Anything off Soldiers Under Command, To Hell With the Devil, or In God We Trust is worthy of reaction. ☺

[@marketingmajor8126]

Of classic Stryper I think the next one on the list would be "Soldiers Under Command (Official Video) (1985) Remastered HQ Audio" . It's was a pivotal song for them that took them from playing at clubs on the Hollywood strip to going platinum and touring the world. They had plenty of solid hits after that as well, but Soldiers helped lay the basis for what came later.

[@csphoenix9]

Michael and Oz are one of the best twin guitar lead teams ever To Hell with the Devil Soldiers Under God's Command

[@dionvillanueva8822]

Growing up in the 80's..there were so many rock bands but Stryper has always been my favorite!!! They are different and Michael Sweet the lead singer...no one comes close!!! Thank you for having them on your reaction.....keep up the great reviews!!👍

[@BGR.616]

The first song I heard from Stryper was Reason for the Season. Definitely check that out.

[@scotthovland7380]

They are still very active and sounding great!✌

[@michaeltenda7398]

"Always There For You" is a must

[@lorettasearcy1471]

Honestly is another amazing song.

[@armyvet92]

Stryper is one of the first big time Christian Rock groups. The drummer and lead singer are brothers

[@Central_Media3656]

Back in the 80s when this album came out, this was the first Stryper song I ever heard. Immediately went out and bought To Hell With the Devil. Good times.

[@DeAnne1233]

I skipped school (9th grade), told my Mom I was spending the night with a friend who offered me a free ticket to my first ever concert (never heard of Stryper before that day). I was blown away, my first act of rebellion, my first guilty pleasure memory. I never imagined I’d hear a rock band preaching to me that night. By the end of the concert, our parents were outside waiting for us, angry and disappointed. After a lecture the next day, and realizing the music was Christian rock, all was forgiven and a lesson learned. Had I gone to a Metallica or Motley Crue concert instead, I would have been grounded with no allowance for a lot longer. 😂

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Isaiah 53:5 - But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his stripes we are healed.

[@sylviamc56]

I've seen a few of your reactions and decided to subscribe after seeing Stryper on your channel. They are very unique and they love God. I got hung up on them when MTV used to play their videos back in the day. They have a large library of great music. A lot of them mentioned in the comments. To Hell With The Devil, Honestly, In God We Trust, and many more. You have reacted to Firehouse, and the bass guitarist, Perry Richardson is now playing bass for Stryper. I have Stryper memorabilia on my wall. My favorite thing is a used, splintered up drumstick from and signed by Robert Sweet. He is a outstanding drummer, very under rated.

[@DeAnne1233]

Almost got a drum stick but the guy in front of me stepped on it and wouldn’t give it up. 😂

[@TTPMetal]

If you want to react to a heavier Stryper song, try The Writings on the Wall, The Reign, The Way. These guys can rock!!!

[@ericl1166]

Yes, those are all amazing, some of my favorite Stryper songs! Saw them live about 10 years ago and they were great!

[@raiderrod3584]

Soldiers under command should be next his vocal range is incredible

[@stephensanchez9590]

They are a great band still going today great singing great Christian band

[@Craig1168]

Known the boiz since the club days. An epic band that always delivers live. Oz and Bob live in Vegas now and I visit a few times a year and always have passes when I see them in Dallas.

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

*Whether you're a Christian or not, Stryper is a good band , and a good band to see in concert. I saw them in concert in 2009, in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. They were small venues, which is cool. I was one guy deep from the stage, so I was able to see Michael Sweet's guitar solo up close.* *The name comes from the stripes from Jesus being whipped. They came up with an acronym for the name, too.* *Y'all should hear:* *Stryper - In God We Trust* *Stryper - Against The Law* *Barren Cross - Here I Am*

[@cathykushner8903]

"Calling On You" is off the "To Hell with the Devil" album. 1986. These guys are still touring and putting out albums. Check out their latest album "The Final Battle".

[@chainsaw5vent]

Stryper was the only band I ever paid to see. Then I took my wife to Earth Wind and Fire a few year ago for special event - Wedding anniversary.

[@sergiodavila5269]

Hell yeah!!!! Probably the best Christian Metal band!!! Try “To Hell With the Devil”, “Honestly”, “Free”, “First Love”, “In God We Trust” & “Always There For You” ….good stuff bros 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@nitro_001newman2]

If you want to get pumped up react to Stryper’s “Soldiers Under Command.”

[@jamestate5059]

Oh man, y'all need to hear Bride - Snakes In The Playground

[@mikenastasi8927]

2024 will mark the 40th anniversary of their debut album The Yellow And Black Attack. They're still going strong making great music and sounding phenomenal live. Singer Michael Sweet has put out great solo albums, he's also recorded 3 albums as Sweet-Lynch with Dokken / Lynch Mob guitarist George Lynch, 1 album with L.A Guns guitarist Tracii Guns as Sunbomb. Guitarist Oz Fox & bassist Tim Gaines released an album as Sin Dizzy with Oz on vocals and guitar. Drummer Robert Sweet and bassist Tim Gaines also recorded with Whitecross guitarist Rex Caroll in King James. Robert Sweet also recorded albums with Blissed, Titanic, Final Axe, DBeality, Seventh Power.

[@cathykushner8903]

Stryper is well known for their guitar duets. Check out their song titled "God" from The Covering Album. This one was released around 2013. The guitar duel solo is killer.

[@MG-oc8cc]

When I first heard this guy sing back in 85 I was taken back. I found it amazing. And if you listen to Striper's new stuff today. This guy's voice hasn't changed. It is still amazing. And their message is stronger than ever.... Isaiah 53:5 BUY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

[@mikenastasi8927]

Current STRYPER bassist Perry Richardson was in Firehouse.

[@jackteppo9633]

Very Great band with a Great message. Very loud too! The drummer had to climb a pole to get to set.

[@brianlang6480]

Great band and still going strong. They have always been bold about their faith. Michael has some strong vocals and Robert is a beast behind the kit.

[@amysson5151]

Must hear by Stryper…’More Than A Man’…’Rockin’ The World’…’Surrender’…’The Way’…’Soldiers Under Command’…’To Hell With The Devil’. God bless and Metal on! Great channel, guys. Good job. Keep the faith!

[@balansboy]

They are still putting out albums on a regular basis. And they are harder now than they were in the 80's. Michael Sweet just turned 60 and can sing just as well did in the 80s. Check out one of their new songs: Transgressor

[@joeldunsmore5159]

Brings back memories of 1986 and being 16ish good song back then now at age 53 a little bit silly and a little corny but still a good message!!😁😁😁👍👍

[@brianlangley1082]

Great reaction. Stryper always praise God and their stuff is so catchy. Try the song Do Unto Others

[@jonfazzone5125]

Great 80’s Hair Metal The Yellow & Black Attack 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻30 Years later Stryper is still Rocking. Check out the song “The Valley”. They still have it

[@jackteppo9633]

Saw them for Yellow and Black Jacket tour.

[@MonitorAccess]

It's really great top see you reacting to an unsung band. Stryper is one of my favorite bands from the time. You're right...they were different. They were a CHRISTIAN Metal band. They hail from Riverside, CA which is in the Inland Empire about an hour or so from Los Angeles. They were veterans of the Hollywood music scene in a time when it was at its height. Bands like Motley Crue, Dokken, Ratt, Quiet Riot, and Poison were all on the scene at the same time. They preach their faith in a lot of their songs...this song, if I'm not mistaken, was them Calling on Jesus. It was one of their more subtle references. This was on the album To Hell With The Devil, which received their most commercial airplay. My favorite album by them is the one that preceded To Hell With The Devil. It was titled Soldiers Under Command. This was around 1984 or 85. I'm not looking up the information, but commenting from memory. Their dual guitar attack was used uniquely for the time as you called it to duet. It's part of their signature sound. You can find many live videos on KZbin, but they did not make a lot of music videos, As I said they were a Christian band, so their message did not always resonate with the rebellious youth of the time. They not only preached the word of God, but they appeared to live it too. The bands at the time were used to shock value and hedonistic excess. Musically they created some of the best stuff available at the time. The members, as I recall, were as follows: Michael Sweet - Guitar and lead vocals Oz Fox - Guitar Tim Gaines - Bass (This is the one name I am unsure of without looking it up) Robert Sweet - Drums I was a young drummer at the time in the 80s and Robert Sweet was one of my all time favorites. I used to play along with his songs all the time when just messing around. Very unique time signatures and riffs he used in his music. Definitely influenced my playing style. A couple of my favorite songs by them to check out: Soldiers Under Command Walking In A Winter Wonderland (Yes...they did the Christmas classic.) First Love Makes Me Want To Sing I love dual guitars, and they used them better than almost anyone in my opinion. If you want to hear another band that used dual guitars well I would suggest you look for Lizzy Borden. They were another LA act. Unlike Stryper they were a shock rock band. They were heavily influenced by Alice Cooper. Their stage show featured theatrical effects. They gained some fame in the local scene, but never really took off nationally. They did get some air play on MTV, but were not a very big band commercially. Look for their songs off of the Give Em The Ax and Love You To Pieces albums. They also did a concert video of those songs called The Murderous Metal Road Show that was released on home video and is probably floating around KZbin.

[@ripwalace]

Best song you could choose

[@rock89ss]

Michael Sweet tiene una potencia vocal impresionante!!!!!

[@cometblazt]

Stryper has got bettter and better with time. Thanx a lot guys

[@ryant3600]

Stryper is THE "Christian Hard Rock Band".. been that way since the early 80's. They're so good and the singer writes 99% of all their songs, and he's also a heck of a shredder on guitar too. The drummer and the singer are brothers. They're newer stuff is heavier and his voice is a lower register now, he's in his 50's, but he can still hit those high notes when he wants to..

[@jaysonszymaszek-healingwit2180]

Amazing reaction - good job

[@mr.j6567]

Got a good laugh watching. Thank you!

[@randywu9412]

“Soldiers Under Command” from 1985

[@MarilynMorrison]

Awesome reaction !🎶 Your next Stryper reaction should be “Soldiers Under Command”🎸

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

Strength. These guys are genuine Through. Christians. They took Redemption. persecution from other Yielding. rock bands as well as the Peace. church and never wavered. Encouragement and Righteousness

[@11Champ11]

Stryper- The Greatest Christian band of all time! Take a listen to another Christian band “Family Force Five - Sweep the leg” I think you’ll enjoy it! 👍🏻

[@victorstrunk6333]

Check out the new Transgressor video with its 15 second scream to start off with release by Stryper in 2023, great reaction guys.

[@ShawnEberlein-eu2lu]

Good evening guys!😇 I absolutely love your reaction to Stryper!!!!👍 I attended one of their To Hell With The Devil concerts here in Hawaii, I even have a few pictures that I took of them on stage.🤙 I remember them throwing mini Bibles into the audience.👏 Well, now that you have been introduced to Stryper, you may want to check out some of their older songs such as: My Love I'll Always Show, You Know What To Do, Co'Mon Rock, Loving You, Reason For The Season, Soldiers Under Command, Makes Me Wanna Sing, Together Forever, First Love, The Rock That Makes Me Roll, Reach Out, (Waiting For)A Love That's Real, Together As One, Surrender, To Hell With The Devil, Calling On You (which you have already done), Free, Honestly, The Way, More Than A Man, In God We Trust, Always There For You, Keep The Fire Burning, The Writings On The Wall, Lonely!!!⚔️🎺😇 I like a lot of their new music as well, but my two favorites are Do Unto Others and Yahweh!!!🙌❤️

[@alexwimmergren5239]

Excellent song!

[@realtorjames33]

Queensryche is a must. And if you like drum sets? You will love his lol.

[@lorettasearcy1471]

The lead singer and the drummer are brothers, and the drummer Robert Sweet uses 21cymbols and 21drums.

[@chrismoody9855]

Hey guys, great reaction video. I recommend checking out Ashes To Ashes, off of their latest album The Final Battle. And yes, Calling On You, is off of To Hell With Devil from ‘86.

[@furthermorec3428]

Thanks for your reaction, this was a blast! :) I can more than highly recommend the song "I AM" by the power metal band Theocracy.

[@dbrinson1691]

SOLDIERS UNDER COMMAND

[@raoolabuelo]

First time watching your reactions love young people enjoying 80´s music some other STRYPER SONGS I BELIEVE IN YOU IN GOD WE TRUST KEEP THE FIRE BURNING TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL HONESTLY ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

[@SamuelBassForJesus]

Great band!

[@Faith.shorts488]

If you think that drum kit is big, check out the kit used in their To Hell With The Devil live show in Korea from 1989. Much larger kit! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipesdJuHeNJ8rKMsi=788df4THobMJdk3Z

[@williamfinney6660]

The greatest Christian rock band probably of all time. Achieved a lot of mainstream success

[@nicolerundberg4160]

Stryper is still going strong new music released not too long ago.

[@Packerscorner]

You’ve gotta try “Soldiers Under Command,” “To Hell With the Devil,”’or off their new album “The Way, the Truth, and the Life”

[@unpopularperson8522]

Sebagai penggemar stryper aku salut buat kalian berdua salam hormat dari indonesia

[@tylerdonitzen]

Theocracy is a younger metal band that is amazing, also! But Stryper paved the way.

[@lorrievinson1799]

Hey guys Stryper is a christian rock band. They are amazing!!! Check out Always there for you and their ballad Honestly. Yes they love God. I think you will love them

[@jimbofett74comics81]

I would suggest Soldiers Under Command

[@lucasmbass]

Great vid!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

I love Stryper, even todays Stryper is good. In the 80's I loved my metal and I was a Christian then and now, I could get away with listening to Stryper, although I did listen to my other metal music.

[@Q1776Q]

MTV staple back in the 80's

[@bryleggo]

Check out their newer music like Transgressor. They still sound amazing!

[@philgonzalez5953]

Try stryper song called " the way" 👍

By his stripes we are healed.

[@jeremybilbrey1133]

Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." thats how they came up with the name Stryper.

[@ryankent5171]

Great reaction guys. Would you react to Always there for you by Stryper.

[@Habsta71]

Please do a modern Stryper song called Sorry

[@BGR.616]

Try Soldiers under Command or To hell with the devil if you want heavier Stryper. Free, Yahweh, Revelation,etc

[@paulmorris8762]

Bloodgood 'Lamb of God" is excellent too = Oz Fox joined them after leaving Stryper

[@bobowrathsovine.]

I was in the 6'th grade when this album was released. I got the cassette tape and listened to it for a year or so. Then when I was an 8'th grader the next album In God We Trust came out I bought it immediately and hated it. I was done with Stryper forever

[@Belmont_79]

🙏

[@STRYPERTUBE]

👊🏻🤟🏻

[@duffalias]

Please react to Soldier Under Command from Stryper. More heavier and representative from their catalog

[@insiderevolverstudios]

Check out their new stuff

[@indynation6317]

Yes, Stryper is a Christian rock band

[@shannonherb2048]

Christians can rock.

[@richardturk7162]

Guys stop playing with your hair LOL I have seen Stryper a few times back when this video came out and the band is really good.and all the guys are extremely talented.

[@noerodriguez2731]

Do Styper Always There For You

[@jaysonszymaszek-healingwit2180]

To Hell With The Devil Soldiers Under Command Reach Out Loving You The Way I don't listen to them like I used to - but they were majorly underrated for being a Christian metal band. They were the first Christian Metal band to ever cross over into the secular market They are still recording & touring today. They're not as exciting live as they used to be but those dual guitars though

[@Ncroadrunnerjr]

Isaiah 53:5 the Bible verse where they got their band name

[@josephgonzales9169]

#QUEENSRYCHE

[@cameronvinson]

Stryper is based on the scripture Isaiah 53:5

[@MG-oc8cc]

Striper's... soldiers under command, came out in 1985 They're called striper, because of a verse in the bible. Isaiah 53:5 BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED... So if you didn't know now you do. 😂

[@markpaulson1346]

Sorry man, their first album was actually "The Yellow and Black Attack" and came out in '83.

[@kaansoler1431]

Stryper has some great tunes from the mid to late 80s. This isn't their best song. Soldiers Under Command, To Hell With the Devil, The Writings on the Wall, Free, Always There For You and The Reign are much better tracks. They are also still releasing killer music for the last 10 years if you want to check out newer music from them. Also STRYPER is an acronym for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace Encouragement and Righteousness.

[@braddurling5275]

Alp have a listen to the new cd the final battle as e even the devil god dam evil and even the devil beliefs no more hell to pay.and fallen
