Stryper have never really gotten their full due or respect as musicians! All 4 of these guys were/are each exceptional at their respective instruments! Michael and Oz are a very formidable guitar duo that not too many other Metal bands can boast of having. If they didn't have the Christian stance,alot of these musician-oriented magazines would probably be falling all over themselves trying to praise their talents!
I heard a guy on RUclips once say “if Stryper swapped out all the Gods and Jesus’ in their lyrics and changed them to Satans Luficers and Babies, they’d be biggest than Judas Priest.” I don’t know if I buy that, but they would definitely be considered amongst the best heavy metal bands on the 80s and still today. One of the few metal bands that has actually gotten better overtime. Their 4 records are probably the best stuff they’ve ever done
I have every CD that STRYPER has ever done!!! I saw them twice in the 1980's. But I never saw them them after that, because they didn't come to the area.
@@Tilbily hmm I know royal oak has Oakland community college. If it was Wayne state it was in detroit. Trying to think of some of the popular venues. I can’t imagine they played Harpos lol
@@Deetroiter not harpos lol! Definitely remember a big collegiate institute with a large theater stage, tiered seating. Stooooopidly loud ! Too bad the camera can't capture the volume. Yet clear and tight playing. Loved it.
@@Tilbily looks like it might have been the royal oak music theatre! I did some digging and it shows a set list concert date for this tour in 85...www.setlist.fm/setlist/stryper/1985/royal-oak-music-theatre-royal-oak-mi-43e0ab73.html
There's probably no metal head rocker out there, who'd ever deny that Stryper can really Rock down the house!!! Great Memories from the mid 1980s...I think that their still Rockin for Jesus today.
Sbanger58 listen to their new albums if you haven’t since posting this comment. They are putting out music that a lot of fans (including me) believe to be their best work to date. Their new album they have coming in April looks to be incredible. Their new single “take it to the cross” rocks my face off every time I listen to it
This right here is true metal at its finest!!! I love heavy, style of bass playing I just love hearing deep, heavy thunderous bass lines. Oz fox is a straight up surgeon on guitar. Michael Has one of the best Voices in the entire history of metal. I love his clean & wet blues based metal stle on guitar. He is truly gifted. As for Robert? Well what more can or even needs to be said about the "Visual Timekeeper?? He is the greatest dummer in the historyof rock and heavy metal.
I got this album.I remember years ago a promoter wanted them to tour with w.a.s.p i think it was,like a heavan and Hell tour,neither band would be in it.I am a fan of both,would of been a good tour.:)
One of my all time favourites In fact from memory my top 10 are: 1) Katie - Seventh Angel 2) Escaping the Altar - Betrayal 3) See no Evil - Holy Soldier 4) Shame - Crystavox 5) Battle Cry - Messiah Prophet 6) Soldiers Under Command - Stryper 7) Wicked Generation - Sacred Warrior 8) The Messiah - Bloodgood 9) The Suffering Servant - Leviticus 10) A Dog's Breakfast - Tourniquet I would like to add 'Creeping Death' by Metallica , but I guess I shouldn't Anybody else?
i am from brazil,and i love stryper to death,i listen to them everyday,they are my favorite musicians,may favorite albuns are soldiers under command and against the law.
@blitzburwell just because the illumanati used triangles does not mean stryper used them for the same purpose.. they used it to represent the perfect trinity.. father..son...holy ghost... for example... i have a rainbow umbrella.. i bought it because i didnt want a pink one... i am not gay and i dont support the gays.. but as christains we are to love the people.. but what im trying to say is... the rainbow was created by god in genesis...not by people for gay pride.. and i like genesis

The 4 OG members had the best group vocals next to only the great Queen imo .

The best Live performance of Soldiers Under command !
Great DVD killer performance and stage/costumes. Love the 80s !!!!!!!'
Stryper's 1st 2 full studio albums still give me goosebumps! This whole band was tight & inspired me to write Christian rock lyrics part of the time.
who cares if they are christian or not, they rock man and are more virtuosos then alot bands. they should be in the hall of fame of rock n roll.
I have every CD that STRYPER has ever done!!! I saw them twice in the 1980's. But I never saw them them after that, because they didn't come to the area.
Saw these guys on that tour in Michigan. Yeah, they definitely owned that stage.
Where’d they play, pine knob or the palace?
@@Deetroiter trying to remember the name. It was a big college in that area. Maybe Royal Oak ? IGWT tour they played at the Palace, Hurricane opened.

Not their best costumes but definitely one of their best songs!
Yea I definitely agree w/ you on that.

マイケルスイートはイケメンやな、懐かしい
@DominicTheDarkKnight ... dude the 666 is crossed out like a no smoking sign......
it means no 666... u got it?
@brand702,
Anyone who's not been living under a rock knows that. :)
they did it a lot better in puerto rico
This album was so good it went down hill some from there and don't get offended it's true still good but it got to commercial and glamy
For the love of Satan, I love this band!
