Michael’s guitar work is very good. If you think he has been overrated, this must be because nobody has been considering him at all snd we all know why. If Stryper wasn’t a Christian band, He’s a professional, he’s a great guitarist, Heck, he sat in for Boston, that tells you that people in his world knows he’s got talent, but ranking guitarists is a very hard thing to do. I’ll tell you who is underrated, is Ted Nugent. He is passed by for the Rock snd Roll hall of fame because he is a staunch believer in The Constitution of The United States. Genre’s often mislead and hide a guitarists full talent as well, Prince is a perfect example. He is in my top 5 greatest modern guitarist My list has Randy Rhoads at the top. But you hsve also consider that guitarists have all been influenced by their predecessors. If that’s the case you have Chet Atkins, BB king, Chuck Berry, Glenn Campbell. Then comes Clapton, Beck and Hendricks. Fast doesn’t mean anything, Yngwie Malmsteen, is wonderful but very boring, if he’s going to go up and down the fretboard like that, I’d rather list to classical, (hence RR) Gary Moore, Eric Roberts and Joe Satriani do that with much more creativity. If I want to be wowed by fast, I watch Paul Gilbert. Then there are the melodic guitars like the awesome David Gilmour who can melt you away with and endless guitar solo that makes you want to cry. George Harrison’s “ My guitar gently weeps” reminds me of How DG plays. There are hundreds of guitarists that can kick Axe 🎸, but it is the spikes, the innovations that stand tall, and with that said, the greatest example of that is Eddie Van Halen, but what I give to Stryper Is Soldiers Under Command is one of my top favorite guitar intros. It is freaking awesome. It’s up there with crazy train.👍
Yea, but I can name a minion of excellent guitar pickers .....🎸 🎤...Michael Sweet is a excellent vocalist as well and the performances are getting better up to now and that is unique.
By far the best lead singer who also plays lead guitar in the history of Earth. He also writes some of the greatest solos ever. M.S. is a musical genius.
Michael Sweet (with Oz Fox duo) and Lincoln Brewster are my 2 favorite guitar/lead vocalists ever!!! Check out Lincoln's "Miraculum" genius Christmas instrumental! ruclips.net/video/XxcD402wBrY/видео.html and here he is doing his "No One Like Our God" in one take ruclips.net/video/KxlFXWD5thM/видео.html
Pray for Michael as he goes through treatment for his cancer. I hope and pray that Michael and Oz both make a full recovery. We don't want these two men of God to leave this planet just yet.🙏
Fucking love this song. Stryper does not get enough credit for their style of music - the heavily utilized harmony rhythm parts for me have always been a distinctive part of Stryper’s ‘sound’ and nobody ever mentions it.
I'm glad your not religious biOlizard. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Jesus not religion If you want to go and straight down the rabbit hole watch a video titled A Case For Christ by Lee Strobel. I've know Yeshua since the age of 24 on 12-26-1983 and at the age of 62 im still walking down the narrow road with Yeshua. Take care!
Saw them in Dallas, 80s; his vocals are there with the best; he chose the Christian route, could've easily matched van Halen, Crue, etc.. if he'd gone secular
Well he study playing his guitar but doesn't he know there's a hell there's a hell ladies and gentlemen sometimes we get caught up in our musicbut we tell the truth we have to tell the truth and let everybody know that there's a hell but thank God took for Michael sweet he's a legend he's great he's serious rocker but he rocks for the Lord Jesus Christ
That holy warrior said his prayers stayed clean and it shows...most guitarists of his generation are dead or unable to play what they wrote when young..
still plays for Stryper.. Stryper puts out an album about once every two years, they tour every year... and he does solo albums and project albums in between the Stryper stuff... busy guy...
There is a time and place for everything. I do enjoy metal Christian Music and rock. The biggest problem I have it that all the comments prove my point. He's so great. When we should be saying how Great is God though His Son Jesus Christ. Look in the comments; not many are even saying this is really Glorifying God. Thats an issue.
One of the most underrated guitar players and singers ever!!!!
He is certainly super underrated as a guitar player.
I love Oz Fox but Michael is better.
Michaels solo stuff is great too.

And songwriter as well
Yea, but I can name a minion of excellent guitar pickers .....🎸
🎤...Michael Sweet is a excellent vocalist as well and the performances are getting better up to now and that is unique.
And band as well
Michael and Oz Fox are two of the greatest guitar attack duos that ever existed in metal
Yep, even better than Robbin and Warren.
By far the best lead singer who also plays lead guitar in the history of Earth. He also writes some of the greatest solos ever. M.S. is a musical genius.

he is one of the best but not the best,Gary Moore,Steve Lukather,John Sykes,
@@Nig6tWalker
They are great.
I love them
But MS is the best as singer
@@ponpoco9532 for me there is not best,i think MS is your favorite guitar/singer but my favorite singer/guitarrist is John Sykes
Tom Kiefer from Cinderella and James Hetfield from Metallica are also very good
Pray for Michael as he goes through treatment for his cancer. I hope and pray that Michael and Oz both make a full recovery. We don't want these two men of God to leave this planet just yet.🙏
One of the worlds greatest musician, composer, guitarist, lyricist and singer.
Truly a gift from God IMO.
Thanks God and thanks Michael.
Michael Sweet its a underrated guitar player and composer
And so is Lincoln Brewster my two favorites as I said earlier.
Best rock singer and guitar player EVER hands down! Amazing talent!!
He plays it so perfectly that the audience is just getting their brains disected without them knowing. Pure metal!!!! Awesome!¡!
Best singer/guitar player in the metal scene, period.
One if the greatest guitar tones ever!!!
Soldiers, one of the best stryper songs
I agree!
You know the talent is legitimate when he plays his song live and solo....wow, how talented he is (and all of stryper as well)
Over the years Stryper have put out some fantastic metal compositions. This track is one of my all-time faves, love those thumping power chords.
That tone crushes!
Saw this guy 25 years ago at a bookstore after his Cali home had just been burglarized. Was gracious as could be and played a killer acoustic set...
Fucking love this song. Stryper does not get enough credit for their style of music - the heavily utilized harmony rhythm parts for me have always been a distinctive part of Stryper’s ‘sound’ and nobody ever mentions it.
One of the most underrated guitarists ever!!!!!
Love it! One of the best Metal Songs Ever! 🤘🤘
My fav stryper song
Michael Koehler Music, I will post a couple more soon that Michael played.
@@ouradventureisoutthere8295 sweet!😁
That some mighty tasty metal guitar right there!
What a Mastermind of the Fret Board, truly one of the great Guitar Players and the absolute Voice of Rock !!!!
Hooks, experience sounding , and rhythm makes great music.
Got to see them in Ann Arbor in '85 when they toured this album. The energy and volume blew me away. Amazing show.
Saw them I believe the same tour, Akron Ohio. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Wonderful shedder and does this while singing.
Michael sweet you rock man 💒🙏
I seen them in their early days here in Pittsburgh when I was a teenager (at least 41 years ago) loudest concert I ever went to, awesome!
I reckon' that's how it's done right there! Thanks for the upload!
2028, I hope we don’t have to wait until 2028 for Jesus to come back.
@@JW_Morris well, we do. watch the 10 part 2028 END video series, it's very clear. God bless.
2028 END I wish it was sooner. Love your videos.
@Otis Aden God is going to hack you into hell for scamming people! DO NOT go to this joker's website, people! He's out to steal from you!

The best Jesus has for us. The rest are the other side.
Sin necesidad de la voz, la sola pista ya es preciosa.

Awesome guitar playing! But that lanyard they gave him to wear is ridiculously huge. What were they thinking?
There is a time and place for everything. I do enjoy metal Christian Music and rock. The biggest problem I have it that all the comments prove my point. He's so great. When we should be saying how Great is God though His Son Jesus Christ. Look in the comments; not many are even saying this is really Glorifying God. Thats an issue.
