@@Noneya27 it's the same key. Go listen to the studio version. They always tuned their guitars down half a step...so E was actually D# I have an original copy of this album, on cassette....and I can tell you it's definitely the same key and the same chords
You are so very right. So many years have passed by and they still sound fabulous here. Robert does very well. What a great band!! 🌺🍀🌷🌈 Praise the Lord
I was fortunate to have seen Petra in Concert at Memorial Auditorium in Louisville, Kentucky during the Valentine's Day Weekend in February of 1988, with Geoff Moore and the Distance as the Opening Act.
So true. I wonder how come more people don't seem to realize that about them. They're literally the only sunset strip band that is still relevant in making new records.
stryper helped me get out of dark metal with their great music that really attracted me, at a certain point I started playing their music more and more and I was saved too, so mission accomplished
WE NEED MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! ALMIGHTY GOD NEEDS MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! AMEN! AMEN!!!!!!!✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Still Rockin for the King of Kings after all these years. Praise God. Jesus Christ is Lord. God bless you brothers. You guys are always in my prayers for the Lord to continually open up more doors for you to Evangelize. Blessings! You all have helped me on my Journey with the Lord since the 80's. The Holy Spirit is felt all over your songs. Thank you Brothers. Blessings to your families as well. Amen.
They're like wine: it gets better with age. Mike's vocal range dropped but still hitting high notes; his warm voice is much pleasing to ear compared to early years.
My Sunday school teacher took this album from me and asked my mom if she knew what I was listening to. She judged that since they had long hair that they had to be bad. I proved her wrong and she had to apologize.
Many years back I read where🎉 Michael Sweet indicated that Stryper was going to produce additional albums and that he felt their best album was still yet to come....could their new album, "When We Were Kings" be that album. ROCK IT STRYPER----I think you've done it!!!
I remember finding a box of cassettes that some one threw to the side of the back roads of PA where I lived growing up. The cassette with this song was on it. My first experience experiencing a Christian Band🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉It was Awesome 😊 I totally now follow Jesus , growing closer each day since 2012. Praise God for this gifted band spreading the truth, the life & the way ❤🙏
Stryper was the only metal I was allowed to listen to as the son of a Baptist minister. Now there were some other groups that came later like Deliverance, Seventh Angel, Novella but Stryper was the OGs. I did get to see Stryper in Tulsa Oklahoma on the In God We Trust tour. Thank you for giving me a metal outlet. No lie I eventually listened to all metal but Stryper was the best!
Wether you're a christian or not, you gotta recognize these guys rock! Loved them from the 80s. christianity aside, they sing about universal human values. (Kindness to others, faith (whatever religion you pray at)
This guys are AWESOME. They are spreading their music for Jesus Christ for others to see that just because they are rock singers they are Soldiers for God. AWESOME
That was awesome!! I bought "Soldiers" in 1986. Begged my mom for it😅. Been a HUGE fan ever since. That was 48 years ago. They sound just as good now (maybe better) than then. Messsage is A+. Talent and musicianship is A+. Keep rocking guys. God bless!
Michael, you guys continue to be an inspiration to aging musicians. Hard to believe your screams are still so crisp. You guys have great harmony. Please keep going.
These songs have gotten me through some tough times growing up and still to this day when I'm going through a rough patch as I am now listening to Stryper always brings me out....Thank you so much!
Been following Stryper since the 80's, they were solid then, they are still solid today, 40 years later! And still carrying God's message! God bless Stryper!
I discoveres them in the 80s,one of my favorite bands of all time next to VH an Dokken,later I became a pro muscisian and made a life out of it, always thanking God that I found Stryper 🙏🕊️❤️
Been a fan since ‘84 when Yellow and Black Attack happened, go listen to it if you haven’t. Met every band member along the way through many concerts, love them all, genuine real God loving people. Love them. God Bless America and humanity. ❤
WOW!! That was a powerhouse performance! I have seen you guys eight times live, I believe. This first time was on the THWTD tour at Mud Island in Memphis, TN. Lillian Axe opened up the show. You guys came out and blew our socks off!! Roberts bass drum was pounding into my chest. Back when volume from every instrument vibrated your body and it felt incredible. You guys live over the years are dedicated to representing your music live with such intensity. All I can say is that each and every one of you are playing at the top of your game . Those vocals though. Soaring. You hit those notes like it was still me at Mud Island. This video is a gift to your fans, and I am one of them. I look forward to seeing you on the new tour. Thank you all so much for filming and releasing this for us. We are all better together.
I had tears in my eyes in Pittsburgh, PA, 'The Altar Bar' down in the old strip district when they were touring on the No More Hell To Pay album. I was just blown away thinking the STRYPER phenomenon had ended. I couldn't have been more wrong! Phenomenal band!
Soy de Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 y la primera vez que vinieron creo que en el 2000 yo estuve ahí viéndolos ,la segunda vez, el año pasado no supe que venían ,en realidad siempre esperé volver a verlos pero No sabía que iban a venir y no pude verlos, pero Dios en su infinita misericordia me tenía preparada una pequeña sorpresa! Trabajo como chofer de Uber y ese día tuve que llevar a varios clientes al lugar donde era el concierto y ahí fue donde me di cuenta de que STRYPER estaba ahí, aunque No los ví, pude escuchar Calling on You, Free y otras, fue una noche de Bendición para mí y siempre lo recordaré!! Gracias STRYPER esa noche me llenaron el corazón con esas canciones y el saber que Dios me regaló ese pequeño momento de felicidad, DIOS LOS BENDIGA POR SIEMPRE!!
I saw this tour at Mud Island in Memphis, TN in like 1987 and they freaking ROCKED! I still think Yellow and Black Attack was one of their best ones, however, all of their albums are great! #THEWAY
Wasn't a big fan of you guys but I knew your music I thought you were pretty awesome and from what I see you still sound absolutely the same so amazing congratulations gentlemen
My Older Brother, my Ex-Sister -in-Law, a friend to my family and I got to see Michael Sweet play at a Large, 1 day Concert at the Old Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky and it was called Joy Jam and it got its start in late 1993, for the 1994 season.
JUST SO good in a live setting such a slick performance and crystal clear sound quality ,just never let you down! God Bless you lads and Thanks you for quality music through the years and an extra Blessing for Oz and Mike's health! 🙏🙏
God Bless Stryper (& I’m an atheist) I miss bands like this with passion & chops & songs. Michael’s one of the only guy’s left who can still sing (hope there’re no backing tracks) from the 80’s. Wish they could get Tim back.
John 15:13-14 (KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Je'sus Christ
I'm an old ex pro player myself and I thin I hear a few extra backing vocals in the mid underneath but I know these guys could always deliver it live and sing well, just so bang on. I saw them in Toronto in 1989(yes I'm old lol) and they nearly blew the rood off just deafening but excellent too! Tim won't be back he's burned those bridge sorry to say.
Yea! Just came across your music recently. I really like your metal music. Plus great your music has purpose and meaning! So great you guys havent destroyed your bodies and minds with drugs or alcohol, this is what people need to see! Keep your standars high, Keep making this cool metal music, really enjoying it 👍💥❤️🔥
Obrigado pela musica! Vocês são incríveis! Ainda lamento até hoje que não pude comprar o cd demo de 1994 do Michael Sweet, vinha autografado! Cheguei a conversar com o Michel por e-mail... mas não tive condições de importar para o Brasil. A sua música é inspiradora! Deus abençoe vcs e suas famílias!
Why the devil hand sings if thus is Christian music. I don't understand be careful of those things that mimic the world.If u love the worldly ways you are a hater of God
Love stryper and that perfect 80's sound, everything michael and company does is golden in my eyes, right up therer with Helloween, Maiden and the rest 😎🤘❤️🔥👏
I couldn’t care less if a band is religious or not. Good music is good music, and Stryper is good music
You should care, most of them are satanic.
Allways!
YEp.
It makes it better that it is
Best of the best
One of the most underrated Dual guitars
He can still hit that note in the second verse after 40 years. Impressive 👍
No he can't. This is in a lower key.
@@Noneya27 it's the same key. Go listen to the studio version. They always tuned their guitars down half a step...so E was actually D#
I have an original copy of this album, on cassette....and I can tell you it's definitely the same key and the same chords
You are so very right. So many years have passed by and they still sound fabulous here. Robert does very well. What a great band!! 🌺🍀🌷🌈 Praise the Lord
@@Noneya27his voice changed man, you are not listening
especially considering he had thyroid cancer
The only band that came up in the 80s and still making new music that I like.
I also loved Petra back in the 80's!
I was fortunate to have seen Petra in Concert at Memorial Auditorium in Louisville, Kentucky during the Valentine's Day Weekend in February of 1988, with Geoff Moore and the Distance as the Opening Act.
So true. I wonder how come more people don't seem to realize that about them. They're literally the only sunset strip band that is still relevant in making new records.
@itsjustme8846 cuz they're never so popular to begin with due to their lyrics and topics.
stryper helped me get out of dark metal with their great music that really attracted me, at a certain point I started playing their music more and more and I was saved too, so mission accomplished
Bro that is SO cool to hear, God Bless you too! 👍
WE NEED MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! ALMIGHTY GOD NEEDS MORE BANDS LIKE THIS!!!!!!! AMEN! AMEN!!!!!!!✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Jesus has blessed you guys. Because you guys have continued to bless him and so many others. Keep the message going guys.!
Still Rockin for the King of Kings after all these years. Praise God. Jesus Christ is Lord. God bless you brothers.

Same to you brother of Christ
They're like wine: it gets better with age. Mike's vocal range dropped but still hitting high notes; his warm voice is much pleasing to ear compared to early years.
God's message can be shared in MANY different ways! These guys have been rocking God's word for a long time! Praise God for His many outlets!
My Sunday school teacher took this album from me and asked my mom if she knew what I was listening to. She judged that since they had long hair that they had to be bad. I proved her wrong and she had to apologize.

They are all Christian’s except for Perry richardson

What a smash sound, kicking, organic and AWESOME! These guys still rock after all these years! Stryper forever!
Wow. They sound really good. Haven’t lost a step from the ‘80s.
Stryper was the only metal I was allowed to listen to as the son of a Baptist minister.

I'm amazed you still hit the high notes Michael 😲 You all sound great!! To God be the glory 🙌
This guys are AWESOME.
They are spreading their music for Jesus Christ for others to see that just because they are rock singers they are Soldiers for God.
AWESOME
Stryper can still bring it! They would smoke Crue, Bon Jovi, Ratt, pretty much any of their 80s glam contemporaries in my opinion, and my ears too! 👏
This is CRAZY!!! NO DIFFERENCE FROM 35 YEARS AGO!!! BRAVOOOOO😮💪💪💪
I came into Stryper when they were between the "Yellow and Black Attack" and "Soldiers under Command". It's been a fun ride for sure.
That was awesome!! I bought "Soldiers" in 1986. Begged my mom for it😅. Been a HUGE fan ever since. That was 48 years ago. They sound just as good now (maybe better) than then. Messsage is A+. Talent and musicianship is A+. Keep rocking guys. God bless!
Sorry, I'm actually good at math but have big thumbs. 38 years ago. Either way, Stryper rocks and Jesus is KING!
I loved this song as a kid when it originally came out, and they're still rockin 40 years later
What a CLEAN and tight performance! Well done!
Michael, you guys continue to be an inspiration to aging musicians. Hard to believe your screams are still so crisp. You guys have great harmony. Please keep going.
It’s AWESOME to see Oz still rockin with apparently no issues after his brain surgery! God bless him!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Same power than in the eighties !!! A joy to see Oz Fox again. God bless Stryper. "Calling on you" one of the best for me. Thanks
The eighties were so wonderful, the bands were the best. The girls were wow, ! Why'd you have to say goodbye.
My dad introduced stryper during my younger years and til nowim stil listening to them. Theyre like fine wine❤❤❤
Singers from the 80s that all sound incredible yet!
Since the beginning...solid band with a true vocalist bringing it all together.
Beautiful songs indeed, God bless ya all...
Since I was a teen in Costa Rica, you guys were the light, against the darkness. I love you guys! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
These songs have gotten me through some tough times growing up and still to this day when I'm going through a rough patch as I am now listening to Stryper always brings me out....Thank you so much!
Such top tier musicianship and the guys have aged very gracefully! Thank you guys for your continued ministry.
Stryper my most favourite band never get old..
Sounds great. Good living pays off. Too many are washed up and can't sing to save their lives but you guys are killing it.
You guys STILL SOUND AMAZING!!
Been a fan since this song came out . Still sounds amazing. Rock on Stryper . ✝️👏🎸🎙
Amazing after so many years... giving me goosebumps
Been following Stryper since the 80's, they were solid then, they are still solid today, 40 years later! And still carrying God's message! God bless Stryper!
Michael's voice.. wooow! God bless Stryper! Hope I get to see you at least once in my life (in Europe hopefully 😜)
I discoveres them in the 80s,one of my favorite bands of all time next to VH an Dokken,later I became a pro muscisian and made a life out of it, always thanking God that I found Stryper 🙏🕊️❤️
I salute stryper....Michael still great and powerful.god bless you all...

Stryper still dominates!!!!! Great sound eternal lyrics!!!
Wow !! Impressive ! Still look and sound Great n better then most of the 90s bands ! God Bless you guys 🙏🏻

One of my favourite band and the last album is a banger!
2019년때 한국 jumf에서 공연하시면서 2년내로 다시 한국에 공연하러 오시기로 했는데...
중간에 코로나때문에 못왔으니 조만간에 한국에 공연하러 와주세요
Rock On and continue to spread the word of God!!
I LOVE STRYPER AND IM GLAD THEY ARE STILL PRAISING JESUS. GREAT BAND.
I saw this tour at Mud Island in Memphis, TN in like 1987 and they freaking ROCKED! I still think Yellow and Black Attack was one of their best ones, however, all of their albums are great!

So much talent here. Just love these guys for so long. Great musicians and great song structures. Beautiful.
Wasn't a big fan of you guys but I knew your music I thought you were pretty awesome and from what I see you still sound absolutely the same so amazing congratulations gentlemen
Amazing performance and voice !!! . Stryper forever 💪
I was never a huge fan, but this performance is pretty damn good.
Wow! The vocals are still bang-on! So rare to witness. ❤ And the harmony! So majestic!
I'm not a Christian or submit to any ideology of a god but I do love STRYPER. Not the lyrics but just the music. They can actually play music.
Even though I am not a religious person, I always liked their heavier stuff, remember talent comes in different forms, open your minds!
40 years of greatness, I love this band!!!
everything on point, Michael's voice, chorus (Oz and bass player[ex firehouse])drums...🥊🔥
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
YOU STILL THE ONE.
When my friends and I want to level up the expression by saying Sweet! we say that was Michael Sweet!!!

Oz is so underrated! The guy is a virtuoso!
JUST SO good in a live setting such a slick performance and crystal clear sound quality ,just never let you down! God Bless you lads and Thanks you for quality music through the years and an extra Blessing for Oz and Mike's health! 🙏🙏
Sound great. Michael and Oz don't get enough props as lead guitarists, really underrated dual guitar band.
Absolutely the Best band ever!! Hands Down🙌
Just wish I could use there Music in my videos
God Bless Stryper (& I’m an atheist) I miss bands like this with passion & chops & songs. Michael’s one of the only guy’s left who can still sing (hope there’re no backing tracks) from the 80’s. Wish they could get Tim back.
What’s wrong with Perry 🤨???
Nothing against him, I just like to see bands with the original lineup who worked & made it together.
