      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!!!!

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!

"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!

    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!

    I am a Huge Stryper Fan and have Met Michael and the boys a few times. Class A People so nice. Listening to them in the 80's I remember getting crap for it from all my Slayer and Metallica loving Friends for going to there shows and having Stryper Decals on my truck. Now they are older and Wiser they all Listen to Stryper. They simply are Amazing! Like many bands they had there issues and Michael left for many Years but now since has come back there Latest Albums to me are some of there Best especially Even the Devil Believes.

    I'm not Christian but Stryper is one of bands I keep on listening until today. I got to know them when I was in first year of highschool, in 1991.
    Yes, you are right, this band is SOLID. 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. However, they're very popular in my country, and got plenty of air time on our local radio stations.

    Stryper are a great band. You should also check out christian band Petra which was one of Stryper's rivals back in the day. The album "Jekyll and Hyde" is my favorite from Petra. You would like the song "Jekyll and Hyde" from that album. Great riffs all around.

    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.

    Michael Sweet and Oz Fox, playing off one another, splitting lead and rhythm guitars..only a few bands can pull that off, Priest, Maiden. And yeah, WASP with Blackie Lawless has the quintessential metal voice, where Michael Sweet has just pure vocals.

    Other songs from that particular album you should react to are:

    Free
    Honestly
    Other Stryper songs in general you should definitely check out include:
    Loud And Clear
    Soldiers Under Command
    In God We Trust
    Against The Law
    Shining Star (Earth, Wind & Fire cover)

    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.

  • @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.

    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.

    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".

    Stryper is one of the most underrated bands of all time! They had more strength and power on vocals and musicianship then all the bands in the 80's and were basically ignored due to the "genre" of "Christian Rock". Wake up people, this band rocked then, and they effing rock now!

  • @lawrencesantana7253

    Watching you listen and enjoy the songs brings my enjoyment to a different level, too. Thanks for choosing these songs and digging them so much. They are also two of my faves by this band, though the first two songs off Fallen (Yahweh, Fallen) are the band at its most epic.

    Stryper's singer (Michael Sweet, brother of the drummer Robert Sweet) actually sang for Boston for a short while. He has collabs with other musicians also. One such project is called Sunbomb. It features Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns.
