  • This one has a special meaning. I Believe in you by Stryper was the song that Burch and his wife choose for their first wedding dance song way back when. There is even a small clip from the wedding in this . Alexis was amazed at Michael Sweet's vocal range and pitch control. Styper was a very good metal band that happened to also be in the genre of Christian Metal. I think everyone will like this and the story behind the wedding.

      I’ll see if I can get you guys to reply and do a reaction video of this Stryper song. It’s live, and probably their biggest newer song. Also what makes this video special, is this is their first live performance of this song. You will not be disappointed! Showing you what Stryper would sound like today, and how incredible this band truly is. I can tell you anything you want to know about this band, from the beginning.

      This is not their best metal song lol, but it’s beautiful.
      My all time favorite band. Most “Christian” rock bands alluded to God, but Stryper truly glorified God. They not only put Jesus’ name in their music, but they even used scripture. As a disciple of Jesus Christ I am so grateful. They were better, musically, than 90% of the music out there, but because they glorified Jesus people blew them off.
      They are still going and their new music is absolutely banging. Still God focused, still Rocking
      To God be the glory forever and ever AMEN!!!

    Speaking as an Anglican(Church Of Ireland) Christian I know what you mean about listening to this song both in a Christian way and in a secular love song way. Another great Stryper song I recommend is the more upbeat power ballad "Always There For You" It's lyrics can also be listened to as a Christian song and as a secular love song. You mentioned Garth Brooks'song "The Dance"? Incidentally one of his song,"Unanswered Prayers",is actually a religiously based love song.

    My cousin Michael and I saw stryper in concert in early June 2023 at a bar and grille in Roseville, California near Sacramento. It was their the final battle tour and their still awesome great harmonies and Michael Sweet still can belt out those high notes. It seems to me that every new album they release gets heavy sounding, which is great. They played for two hours straight with no breaks. First time seeing them live. They will be returning next year on the bands 40th anniversary. Rock on!🙏

    I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but Stryper was panned by Christians as well - especially amongst the Evangelical crowd. They got hate from BOTH SIDES and still managed to still make great music and spread their message.
    Heck, given how the evangelicals have lost their way, I think the guys in Stryper have absolutely proven their adherence to their faith.

It just seemed so uncool and reminded me of bumble bees. Looking back, I'm still not into them but give them credit for sticking with their beliefs in a time where they could have easily cashed in by choosing a darker approach.

Boston and Lou Gramm were touring together. Lou's band at that time was the guys from a band I worked with back Rochester,NY. I saw this who dressed with the scarfs and that rock look and he looked so familiar, I asked him "How do I know you"? He said I was in a little band in the 80's called Stryper . I must have turned 3 shades of red. We just started laughing. But yeah he was on tour singing harmony with Boston for a while.keep the vids coming.

    Another great Stryper official video you both gotta do a reaction to is "Always There for You". Keep up the great reactions. 👍

    This song is a great wedding song. I've known a few people that have used Stryper as a wedding song. And there is more than one song that fit the wedding theme.
