The video that made me fall in love with Stryper. I was 14, I had no idea they were all about god and jesus. I went out and bought To hell with the devil, Sodiers Under Command and Yellow and Black Attack. I listened to all the songs, many times over. I absolutely loved this band. I still had no idea what they were singing about. I loved the look and the sound. I am not a Christian person, I am actually Atheist. I still love and listen to Stryper to this day. I don't care about the message, I still love the band. I have seen them probably 6 times now in concert.
Stryper is the best sounding live band in metal.It is amazing how good there sound is and how tight there playing is when they play live.No other metal band comes close to sounding as good as Stryper does live.Even after all of these years Michael Sweet's voice is just as strong as it was.
I wen i lived in new jersey I was in my teens and I didn't know anything about God. But when I was this band came. I was blown away. That they had my hard rock that loved. With positive words. I'm 55 years old and. The being of this song still get to me after. All these years I have been with Jesus christ for. Over 34 years know. I truly think that God made styper just me and that. I will always be very grateful to God thank you god and thank you styper
I am a follower of Christ, and I LOVE this song, Styper, and Christian metal in general. Heck, if rock were only genre to listen to, I'd be set for life. Love God and rock!!! :D
They really show what they beleave in. Michael Sweet has one of the best voices we can hear, every concert shows a devine power, the best of Gospel metal!
A great song Michael Sweet has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart around the world great song writer Robert Sweet sounds like thunder on the drums one of the greatest underrated heavy metal rock band 80s 90s n still rocking hard today 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹🌲
I"ve prayed my whole life for knowing and asking God to show me that he is real and not just imaginary"..Lonely for years for the love of a woman who cares to take me under her nurturing wings and guide and grow together. Not being answered, I found Atheism very quick! 2yrs now with a woman who loves me(or I think?)and her 12yr old daughter causing problems with jealousy(her father deceased).Mom turns against me.I truly thought that God had shined the light on my heart".continued..above"
I saw these guys in 1987 in Fort Myers Florida and have been a fan ever since. They still rock even today, I hope they come back by again... I'll be there for them. :-)
I saw Stryper a few times. Great band. Michael Sweet's voice is powerful and smooth. I never would have thought there could be a mix of Heavy Metal with Christian lyrics. I enjoyed it very much. Would love to see them perform again.
I just wanna say thanks to you guys, even if you’re not reading this. I’ve been trying to write some music for my church, and my iPad, which I was using to record everything, has been acting up. So, while I was trying to calm down, I ended up playing along to this song (at 70% speed, but still), and it really calmed me down. So, thank you, Stryper, for writing a song that, 34 years later, helped a 22 year old guitar player relax and not spike his iPad into the ground out of frustration. 😂
if someone asked me to define pure talent... i wouldn't say a thing.. i would simply play them anything from stryper ... i am VERY far from religious.. BUT WE CAN ALL LOVE STRYPER RIGHT ? ...p.s. this may be one of the most perfectly written songs i've ever heard
Stryper derives from the King James Version of Isaiah 53:5 " But he was wounded by our trangressions. He was bruise for Our iniquites, The chastisment of our peace Upon him; and with his Stripes We Are Healed" Stryper Means Salvation, Through,Redemtion, Yielding, Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness
I was 11 when To Hell With The Devil came out. My dad bought the cassette and I still have it. I wore it out to the point it will not play, but I will not part with it. Thank you for the inspiration you gave me to become a musician. The first song I played on the drums was To Hell With The devil. I love you guys and keep on rockin.
I was watching MTV back in the 80s wen the played video and was just starting to play guitar and didn't know anything about god at all, but I was do tired if words in music and then this song came on and I was blown away.that you can sing about good thing and still have that hard rock edge to it.I thank god for styper.because I feel god made styper just for me.because he knew what music I would like.and iam for that.god bless guys
one of my friends way back in the 80s gave me a stryper tape he said you love metal and you love god this is for you been a fan ever since got me through some dark times just wanted to say thanks y"all and god bless!
This is very uplifting. Years ago I wouldn't even bother listening to them. Months ago I decided to give them a chance and I've been feeling positive ever since.
Inside of me there is a lonely place Sometimes I just don't know it's there But when I'm all alone That's when I have to face The part of me that needs someone To be by my side that's when I call on You, you make my life complete You give me all I need You help me through and through I'm calling on you I can't explain just what you do to me My love grows stronger everyday You give me love, you give me company And when I have to face the rain You bring sunshine into my life You, you make my life complete You give me all I need You help me through and through I'm calling on you You, you make my life complete You help me through and through You give me all I need You, you make my life complete You help me through and through Calling on you Calling on you Calling on you Calling on you (Calling on you, now) (Calling on you, calling on you) Calling on you, calling on you, now Calling on you
The first Stryper song I ever heard back in '87 and ever since I've been their huge fan. Thank you Stryper for all the joy you've brought to your fans around the world through all these years! MBP rocks!
This was so nice to see again. Such an uplifting song. Thanks for the memories. I think this has an even bigger impact these days. Christians and (everyone pretty much) just don't have the right attitude these days. Everything is doom and gloom and not so many getting along in these complicated times. We need to get back to cranking up good music and having a good time and not what we don't have any more because we'll always have that.
Thank you for the list of bands i did not know about,i knew about HB,Theocracy and of course Stryper but not the other bands,if you have more let me know,thank you,Mario a former backslider,fallowing Jesus again.
Weather or not your a church going person, Stryper just rocks. Booming drums, squealing guitars, thundering bass, and spot on vocals, Stryper is truly the most underrated bands of the 1980's. I wish I was a teenager in the 80's and not the 90's. Bands like Stryper, Firehouse, Cinderella, and Ratt so so much more than bands like Nirvana, STP, and Alice in Chains. Bring back the 80's, bring back the Hair!!!
Hopeing that some day they come to Muscatine Great River days or Mississippi Valley Fair Grounds......Been with them from the start and god bless all,,,,,,,,
JESUS LIVES In EVERY SOUG THEY PLAY STRYPER ROCKS FOR JESUS CHRIST 777 FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG LIFT UP YOUR VOICE TO JESUS HOLIEST NAME IN THE WORLD LOVE YOU GUYS EVERYWERE 777
"I need you in my life, jesus. I can't live without you, jeeesus. And I just want to feel you deep inside me jesus!" -Eric Cartman. Man, Stryper songs are hilarious!
Esses caras quebraram barreiras demais. O hard rock já vinha quebrando barreiras na década de 80 pq já vinha carregado de preconceitos por estarem mudando o conceito do Heavy metal e Rock dos nos 70 e os caras foram lá fizeram mais ainda quebraram uma segunda barreira que é o rock cristão. Ou seja os cara foram lá e mostraram do que eram capazes mostrando um heavy rock simplesmente maravilhoso e se igualando ou até mesmo ultrapassando em qualidade os grandes nomes do rock da época. musicalidade f#da, vocal f#dastiko, instrumental mais f#da ainda. Esses caras são insanos demais slc.
🤍 Calling On You Stryper Original/Tradução Inside of me there is a lonely place Sometimes I just don't know it's there But when I'm all alone That's when I have to face... The part of me that needs someone To be by my side that's when I call on... You, You make my life complete You give me all I need You help me through and through I'm calling on you I can't explain just what You do to me My love grows stronger everyday You give me love, You give me company And when I have to face the rain You bring sunshine into my life 🤍 Chamando você Dentro de mim há um lugar solitário Às vezes eu simplesmente não sei que ele está lá Mas quando eu estou sozinho É quando eu tenho que encarar... A parte de mim que precisa de alguém Que esteja ao meu lado, quando eu chamar... Você, Você faz minha vida completa Você me dá tudo que eu preciso Você me ajuda em tudo Estou chamando você Não sei explicar exatamente o que você faz para mim Meu amor cresce mais forte todos os dias Você me dá amor, você me dá companhia E quando eu tenho que enfrentar a chuva Você traz a luz do sol para minha vida
Part of me is still hurt and I need to work on it still, I am protecting myself at the moment, I haven't worked through it yet, the tears are falling now, so it's starting, I have to go through this first ,, I need to take my time, I am not a robot, I am sorry that you need attention but that is not love. Love is deeper and does not depend on that , it knows.
dear fan stryper youtube,we here in central Mn,namely little falls need you to bring stryper here,we used to be more better at being human,weve forgotten that,and no longer care about human ,we need gods soldiers to make a (goodwill) stop as soon as possible,as god is being done away with here at an alarming rate
If Styx were a Heavy Metal band in the 80s this is what they would sound like. Man that voice sounds so much like Dennis Deyoung and that is a good thing. Man, these guys can really sing. And I like power pop/glam metal or whatever the hell you want to call it but it is music with a pulse and a positive vibe. I can do without the awful fashion but this sounds great.
Yeah, it sure sounds awesome on my gear sitting 5 feet from a powered sub and bookshelf speakers with a 200 watt a channel stereo amp. This stuff is going on my Amazon.com wishlist.
Her daughter just keeps getting furious when I am there now for the past(about 6+months)..Mom and I even went to church on our 2nd date I think it was..She cant handle her daughters anxiety issues, and I am not helping being there when she gets rialed up and jealous.Thinks I"m taking moms affection away"..(common prob with many relations w/kids).She"s been backing off from me and saying "its not going to work"..I left the keys to house/garage the other day"..She says she loves me...Very hurt!
They are a Christian version of Guns and Roses but really positive words and I found them thanks to You Tube. I’m guessing this song was from 1988 am I right?
I am a Christian and I love this band
This song is a good reminder to me that I can always call on God no matter what I am going through. Thanks Stryper and above all God.
The video that made me fall in love with Stryper. I was 14, I had no idea they were all about god and jesus.

How can you own a record called To Hell With The Devil and not know they're a Christian band?
I was 13. dunno
shout at the devil was an anti satan song
you should allow Jesus to come into your heart. You will jump with joy and your life will be so much better for it.
you should care for the message my friend, because Jesus is the only one that can save you.
Being Christian and giving your soul to christ is the most important decision any human can ever make! Your eternity depends on it
Amen ! 🤣
Do you decide ?!
@fpostolache ??? Yes i decided to give my life to Christ... GOD gave us a free will
@@akadkins69good for you.
@fpostolache thank you friend
@@akadkins69I'm not your friend !
In his music style, Stryper has given the glory and honour to the Giver of life and gifts.
Stryper is the best sounding live band in metal.It is amazing how good there sound is and how tight there playing is when they play live.No other metal band comes close to sounding as good as Stryper does live.Even after all of these years Michael Sweet's voice is just as strong as it was.

21 drums, 21cymbols of in your face hair drumming. Loved it. My bipolar music went from Ozzy to Stryper back in the day.
I am a follower of Christ, and I LOVE this song, Styper, and Christian metal in general. Heck, if rock were only genre to listen to, I'd be set for life. Love God and rock!!! :D
Matt Moores same here bud ;)
+Matt “Mr. Moradiajam” Moores here too!

They really show what they beleave in. Michael Sweet has one of the best voices we can hear, every concert shows a devine power, the best of Gospel metal!

In high school we convinced our Mens choir teacher to let us play this song live for the parents and school. Great time to be a drummer!
I love Stryper and they are No.1 christian Rock'n'Roll band in the world!!
I just wanna say thanks to you guys, even if you’re not reading this.

Their music helped me through some hard times in life. I love Christ and am so thankful for all he has done for me! Romans 10:13
if someone asked me to define pure talent...
i wouldn't say a thing..
i would simply play them anything from stryper ...
i am VERY far from religious.. BUT WE CAN ALL LOVE STRYPER RIGHT ?
...p.s. this may be one of the most perfectly written songs i've ever heard

Awesome hardcore rockers.what truly talented musicians they are😊
I've enjoyed Stryper music since they appeared in the 80's. Sorry to hear Michael lost his dear wife to cancer. I pray the Lord encourages him.
Michael's voice is amazing.
One of my favorite songs Stryper !
I was 11 when To Hell With The Devil came out. My dad bought the cassette and I still have it. I wore it out to the point it will not play, but I will not part with it.

This is very uplifting. Years ago I wouldn't even bother listening to them. Months ago I decided to give them a chance and I've been feeling positive ever since.
Inside of me there is a lonely place

You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you

🤍 Calling On You
Stryper
Original/Tradução
Inside of me there is a lonely place
Sometimes I just don't know it's there
But when I'm all alone
That's when I have to face...
The part of me that needs someone
To be by my side that's when I call on...
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you
I can't explain just what You do to me
My love grows stronger everyday
You give me love, You give me company
And when I have to face the rain
You bring sunshine into my life
🤍 Chamando você
Dentro de mim há um lugar solitário
Às vezes eu simplesmente não sei que ele está lá
Mas quando eu estou sozinho
É quando eu tenho que encarar...
A parte de mim que precisa de alguém
Que esteja ao meu lado, quando eu chamar...
Você, Você faz minha vida completa
Você me dá tudo que eu preciso
Você me ajuda em tudo
Estou chamando você
Não sei explicar exatamente o que você faz para mim
Meu amor cresce mais forte todos os dias
Você me dá amor, você me dá companhia
E quando eu tenho que enfrentar a chuva
Você traz a luz do sol para minha vida
Inesquecíveis na minha adolescência....
Part of me is still hurt and I need to work on it still, I am protecting myself at the moment, I haven't worked through it yet, the tears are falling now, so it's starting, I have to go through this first ,, I need to take my time, I am not a robot, I am sorry that you need attention but that is not love.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
Stryper is Awsome

Maybe not the best song on the album, but it shows a lot of what their music is all about. Still metal music, but also with massive backing vocals.
Her daughter just keeps getting furious when I am there now for the past(about 6+months)..Mom and I even went to church on our 2nd date I think it was..She cant handle her daughters anxiety issues, and I am not helping being there when she gets rialed up and jealous.Thinks I"m taking moms affection away"..(common prob with many relations w/kids).She"s been backing off from me and saying "its not going to work"..I left the keys to house/garage the other day"..She says she loves me...Very hurt!

una de mis favoritas de stryper :D
STRYPER- Calling On You- Album: To Hell With The Devil- 1986
Please tell me they'll have a vinyl release as well. I need a good clean copy of "Soldiers..."
I miss melodic metal music
YESSSS!! I'm ready for it!!!!!!!
EPIC!!
ahh back in the day.
Tour to mexico?
i wanna stryper in Italy!
@VHWarshawski Thanks!
Who's ready for the re-masters coming out?
This sounds more frickin' pop than hard rock. Lol! It is a pretty catchy tune though.
+rayva1 Sounds like what nearly ever heavy metal band was doing at the time.
