    There aren't many singers of metal whose voices have held up this well for 30 years. Very impressive!

    • @RestoreTheBody
      @RestoreTheBody 3 месяца назад

      But these vocalists sing in mix which is why their voices remain. You need your nasality to be able, wich they who have lost connection inside their nose can't. They just scream.

    People just don't know what they're watching. Guys that actually qualify as musicians, for one. A singer that qualifies as a true vocalist. In every regard and on every instrument they're great. Robert Sweet was one of the best too. Just fantastic all around and a band that still plays as good as they ever have.

    Michael and Oz are the most underrated twin guitar attack in the history of metal!!! Great harmonies, technical proficiency, tight rhythyms, and insane compatibility. What more could anyone ask for?? I'd put them up there with Downing/Tipton, and Smith/Murray any day.

    Seen a lot of bands since the 80s, from Bon Jovi to Anthrax basically, and these guys were the tightest and musically the best back in the day and recently. To play those riffs and sing and harmony solos are not easy. Probably one of the heaviest of glam rock bands also. A good friend of mine went to an autograph signing back in about 1989 and accidently got pushed through a window and got hurt, Stryper came to visit him in hospital.

      Crowd was great. There were no mics on the crowd at all. Most live recordings have mics so you can hear the crowd. This is a VERY raw recording of the band straight off the mixing board. This is not in any way meant to compare to an actual live concert release.

    Man these guys just SHREEEEEEEEEAD! Probably the best performance of this song I have seen. "We don't need no bass player...just listen to the twin shreds". This is how I remember the 80's...recordings where you can barely if at all hear the bass....and the guitars were in your face.

We really appreciate what a magnificent band they are. Something to think about with people in the US you people don't appreciate what you have. Stryper is a living legend , one of the greatest bands in the world and the only band hat's worth today. God bless you boys we love you and wait to see you again in our country.
