Stryper are better than ever right now. Even their latest song that just came out off of their upcoming album is amazing. They are the only old school band that literally continues to get better and better.
@@ethanwelk2736 and David. Very true on both counts! I like them even more now though. The production of the sopngs aren't so refined these days and there are more subtlties in the recording that imo give the songs more "soul" and authenticity.
Hey brother, about the lying thing, just know that we are ALL sinners. But the whole point of the Gospel is that Jesus paid your penalty on the cross, and forgiveness is there for you, if you want it. BTW, a little interesting piece of trivia about this song, is that Michael happened to share a plane ride with Clint Lowery from Sevendust, and the two agreed to collaborate on a song. So Clint wrote the main riff you hear.
You know, sometimes when you test people, you find out if they are true or not. By you testing Stryper the way you did, you proved that they are true to there Christian faith and they don't just do the walk they are as genuine as they come. You can profess to be something and be a scam. Stryper proved to you they were genuine in every way shape and form. Michael Sweet's voice hasn't changed. It has only gotten stronger. So powerful.
Yellow And Black Attack was originally released as a four track ep. Which sold local in California, then rereleased as a six song ep national and fast sold 200,000. It was reissued as a full length lp hoping it would achieve gold status, but it never happened officially.
Stryper are singing and playing at the top of their game. You should definitely give No More Hell To Pay, Fallen, and God Damn Evil all a full listen someday. That tune Take It To The Cross is a mindf**k
All of STRYPER's stuff is amazing. I'm loving the newer stuff, they've gone really heavy. The bassist is Perry Richardson from firehouse. Also.....God has no desire to strike you with lightning, he loves you so much dude!
Great Band. Another 80's band that has made a Great Comeback of Late. You cant go wrong with there last 3 Albums, they all Rock! Caught them live a year ago and did a Meet Greet and Super Nice guys.
I was the one who rented the Stryper office for them when you sent your letter in and probably had something to do with sending you that Bible. You are totally forgiven and you’re a stryper fan who reviews the songs - God smiles on you 😁👍. My Stryper guys are better than ever right now❗️
Oh one more fact about this.. Michael Sweet gave writing credits on this song to Clint Lowrey Lead guitarist of Sevendust, cause he came up w/ that riff and showed Michael the riff and he let Michael use it for this song.
Thanks for a great analysis of Stryper's Yahweh. Your honesty and appreciation for the art and artists is refreshing. As a teen I was a big fan of Stryper as I had become a born-again Christian. Especially, when you change your life style and choices to what you're impressed upon by the Lord. Now, as an old fart, I'm glad I recently discovered that Stryper resurfaced and are still making relevant songs that honor the Lord of the universe. If you're ever curious about the song Yahweh, find that Bible Stryper signed and sent to you and look up Matthew chapter 27 in verses 11 to 26 (in context). It might bring some insight in this song. Be well and God bless.
Yes, the whole album is good. Produced by Michael Sweet himself, which means the mix sounds as good as it's supposed to sound. The drums don't have that obnoxious boxy sound, and the songs are straight fire. Sweet's vocal performance is probably the best of his career, and I consider FALLEN to be the best album of their career.
I love the look on your face when the song kicks in. This is my go to song to play for people who said they liked Stryper in the 80s and never heard any of their new music. I’m a diehard fan and think all of their albums are fantastic except for reborn and murder by pride. Other than those two I still listen to all of their albums regularly. Michael Sweet’s voice is a little more masculine now so it might even be better, and they are heavier. Fantastic band.
I'm from Brazil. Stryper is one of my favorite bands. Two years ago I had the chance to see them here, in Brazil, for the first time. I think it was their 4th or 5th time here but I was living in UK before. Man, I cried like a baby. It's so good when you don't have all the access to gigs like that as you do in America and then you have the chance to see your favorite band live... Cheers, mate. Do you know king's X? You should react to one of their songs. Bless yoy
Awesome reaction and study of Stryper, my guy. Really well done. These guys still hit hard after 40 years in the industry. They are fantastic! Keep it up, dude! Also, loved your story about them sending you the Bible and writing back - that sounds exactly like the kind of thing they would do. Great reaction, brother!
Hey Shane, you're hysterical. I love checking your UA-cam channel out. Being a musician myself in church and an ex Slayer fanatic. I had an experience in 1997, which I was going to hell and Jesus Christ came to me and saved me and gave me a second chance. And now I'm living for Him, and now of course I'm listening to Stryper. I never listened to them in the 80's until 2005 when they came back with the reunion. Their music today to me is way better than their old stuff. And that Bible you got is super rare and a collectible. You can't even get them on eBay. No one's giving them up. The Bible's they give out today their logo is printed on them. The sticker version is super collectible.. Just ask God to forgive you for that and you'll be good. They have a new album coming out. When we were Kings. I'm hearing it's their best album ever. As of fallen, you gotta have that one even if you're not a big Christian metal guy. It is awesome. Keep up the great work and remember Jesus loves us all no matter who we are. So give your heart to him today. you won't regret it God will never let you down.
Yahweh. The first time I heard that song, I was like, WOW, is this Stryper? I'm 54 and rockin like I was when I was 17. I bit louder, lol. But Yahweh is at the top of the list. I think Yahweh should have been the first song on the album to set the stage for the rest of the song. I can't even keep up with my air guitar. I love rockin the rails to Stryper though.
You are correct, "The Yellow and Black Attack" (1984) was before "Soldiers Under Command" (1985), but most discography websites are using the date for the REMIX version of "The Yellow and Black" attack which was re-released in 1986 on a blue vinyl format and featured 2 previously unreleased songs...so that's where the confusion usually comes from. But you are correct...Y&BA came first!
As Christians, we understand God's name as "Yahweh," which means "I AM WHO I AM" (Ex. 3:14, NASB) and denotes existence. The Bible teaches that this is God's name, and it identifies Jesus with this name in John 1 where He's presented as the eternal Word who took on human flesh (John 1:1-4, 14) since for the actions of Yahweh in creation are said to have been accomplished by Jesus (Heb. 1:10-11, cf. Ps. 102:1, 25-26; the capitalized English word "LORD" lets the reader know that the Hebrew word being translated is "YHWH"). So, the Christian teaching is that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are God as Trinity, and that Jesus came and died for our sins on the cross to forgive us and rose again to assure everyone who would so much as look to Him, to trust in Him, of forgiveness and eternal life (John 3:16).
Hey Shane! Love your channel and video reactions. Fallen is amazing. Another great song to check out is the song, Pride from Fallen. They have a brand new album coming out around September. Hope all is well my friend. Keep rockin'!!
@@ShaneDiablo Thanks, Shane. I'm doing pretty good. I wanted to recommend one more for you to check out and possibly do a reaction to. It's a christian hard rock/metal band from Seattle called, Bloodgood. The band is named for their bass player, Michael. They have been around since the 80's. The song is called, Lamb of God off of their 2013 album, Dangerously Close. Oz Fox (Stryper) plays on it and is on the actual video. He plays with them from time to time, even though his main focus is with Stryper. Lamb of God is a song that just rocks!!! Lead vocalist, Les Carlsen is a phenomenal singer. Michael Sweet is a better singer overall, imo, but Les, is no slouch. Be well my friend and keep up the great work!!
You should also check out their comeback album, "No More Hell to Pay", released in 2013. By the way, you are correct. The "Yellow and Black Attack" originally came out as a 6 track ep in 1984. Then "Soldiers Under Command" came out in 1985. Then "The Yellow and Black Attack" was re-released in 1986 with 2 more tracks added on.
I consider Murder by Pride their comeback album, even though they put out Reborn prior to that, but MBP had more of a Stryper sound and writing than Reborn did.
@@ryant3600 To be honest, I love their albums Reborn and Murder by Pride, and consider Reborn to be their comeback album, but I understand that most Stryper fans don't care for those albums very much and tend to favor No More Hell to Pay as the true comeback.
@@screamforjesus-christianmusic I just don't understand that. due to they had been back "officially" for 8 to 9 years by the time NMHTP came out. They had Reborn which is their official comeback, then Murder By Pride which was a great album, then they released "The Covering" which did pretty good and they even toured that album as well, the they did Second Coming re-recording greatest hits album and toured that as well, then released NMHTP.. I have never considered NMHTP as a comeback.
@@ryant3600 Reborn was actually songs Michael intended to use on another solo album but after reuniting with Stryper he played those song demos to the guys and they decided to record them as a Stryper album.
Yes they were originally Roxx Regime. Back in 1982 during the Summer Rock in SoCal, a band named Metallica opened for Stryper at the Long Beach Bruin Den by which point Roxx Regime was already well known in LA club music circuit.
6:00 That is NOT what STRYPER means. It's NOT an acronym. It's taken from a verse in the old testament from the prophet, Isaiah. It comes from Isaiah 53:5 "by His STRIPES we are healed" In this translation, "stripes" means wounds (referring to His cruel beating and subsequent crucifixion); hence, Stryper. He was crucified for our sins, and we are "healed" n justified if we truly believe on Him and His sacrifice.. That's the meaning bro.
@@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets I gave up on Boston after the Walk on album, But I do like the new singer Tommy Decarlo. I got to see his band last summer in Gastonia N.C.
Shane, If you haven't yet, you should definatly get all the new albums since their reunion! I think you will see that their tallent has only gotten eponentially better since the early days! I have no doubt you will be very satified with what you hear.
Alot of people don't realize that Michael is one heck of a guitarist. He writes all the songs including riffs, and most of the solo's are his, Oz shares those duties like a Maiden type deal, but MS' solo's are always so tasteful,Melodic... reminds me of Adrian Smiths Solo's where as Dave Murray and Oz to me are more similar.
" If this song doesn´t make Jesus happy, then I don´t know what would ". On the point :-) Stryper after ca 2012->now has been rock solid. No fillers, just killers. Just saying.
Fallen is a great album! Even better live last year. The last three have been fantastic, including the new one. Might I suggest Theocracy - Nailed, from a band that climbed on Stryper's back and said, "Hold my beer, would you?"
Nice Pipes Shane. I was a Huge Stryper fan in the 80's and man all my Thrash Metal Fans gave me shit, funny now they all Listen to them. Just have Great Music, cheese or not. Keep up the Greatness!
Fallen and G.D.E. are two heavy albums and the song "Take it to the cross" has growling vocals(tastefully done by Tommy Thayer of Bad Wolves" the band the redid the Cranberries" song "Zombie. P.S. Sept. 4 Strypers new album "Even the Devil Believes drops, they just released the first song on UA-cam call "Blood from above"
As a former Christian (now Agnostic), I was not allowed to listen to Stryper becaue the style of musica was 'demonic' to my parents at the time. Today, I am so grateful I get to hear this masterpiece!
I went from Chrisitan to agnostic to basically ahteist, to druggie (til an OD) gave up dope, then a year later had a visit from demon that changed my mind about the realm of the supernatural. I conceded and Yeshua changed me and things have not been easy but are much better
Best comment: If doesn't make Jesus rock, nothing will! As a 50 plus, I used to mock the "hair metal" bands back in the day. Now, it's refreshing to hear players who: can stay in tune, know their fretboard cold, have killer tones, and have vocal cords of steel! Well done Stryper!!!
I dropped motley crue for this band back in the 80's. The best period........... Bloodgood n barrencross.......and rage of angles.............. Somebody's watching u. All Christian bandstand
The last song on the Covering is an original "GOD", as far as GDE it is a plea to the Lord to damn the evil in the world. Perry Richardson from Firehouse is their new bassist
Dang what a great song. They evolved to a little more power metal instead of glam, I guess, but still sound like Stryper. Great vocals, I really like em.
They are so under rated because they are Christians but they are a kick-ass band. I just saw them last night for their 40th Anniversary Tour and man they're still rocking hard!
Great review, and its not often that a band around that long, still can have a song that is a hit, and they have the most loyal fans, more than most bands, the underdog, now is the leader in this genre of metal, it’s rare to have a band that just keeps getting better and more heavier, and all the people that used to mock them, now respect them, talent wins every time, and God always has the last laugh, no one thinks Stryper or Michael Sweet are a joke now, they persevered getting ridiculed from Christian’s ,and non Christians their whole career, but now look at the respect they have, they have a set of cojones, because it’s not been easy for them, they took a beating for years, and still didn’t back down, and their fans are proud of them, it’s a pride thing, that make their fans so loyal, they are the real deal, they really believe what they preach, because they could’ve made a lot more money not giving a Christian message.
Michael Sweet's voice is a gift from God. In his 50's and still kicking major ass vocally.
You got that right. Voice of a mighty angel. A warrior of heaven 😎👍
I love ROCKING TO STRYPER white riding in my FAST WHEELCHAIR >>>> ua-cam.com/video/UF2ANIWduOI/v-deo.html
I think he is actually in his 60's. Pretty impressive.
Stryper are better than ever right now. Even their latest song that just came out off of their upcoming album is amazing. They are the only old school band that literally continues to get better and better.
And they where amazing to begin with.
@@ethanwelk2736 and David. Very true on both counts! I like them even more now though. The production of the sopngs aren't so refined these days and there are more subtlties in the recording that imo give the songs more "soul" and authenticity.
Just announced thier new tour! Will be in ATL in march. I will be there!
Just announced thier new tour! They will be in ATL in March. I will be there!
They are actually even damn better now. Michael Sweet STILL belts!!
Hey brother, about the lying thing, just know that we are ALL sinners. But the whole point of the Gospel is that Jesus paid your penalty on the cross, and forgiveness is there for you, if you want it.
BTW, a little interesting piece of trivia about this song, is that Michael happened to share a plane ride with Clint Lowery from Sevendust, and the two agreed to collaborate on a song. So Clint wrote the main riff you hear.
Stryper has amazing talent as a band. No denying the vocals, guitar work and banging drums are one of the tops. Still rocking it after four decades.
Stryper is releasing a new album now in 2020. They just released a soundtrack from it. "Even the Devil Believes!" is the new album.
You know, sometimes when you test people, you find out if they are true or not. By you testing Stryper the way you did, you proved that they are true to there Christian faith and they don't just do the walk they are as genuine as they come. You can profess to be something and be a scam. Stryper proved to you they were genuine in every way shape and form. Michael Sweet's voice hasn't changed. It has only gotten stronger. So powerful.
Stryper blows off the water most bands of their era. They rock harder than ever. Amazing albums they are coming up with
First guitar solo is played by Michael, second guitar solo is played by Oz.
Both great
Best song ever from Stryper. I loved all the early stuff but this song shakes me to the core.
Thanks Shane
This is an epic song. When I first heard it, I could never get it out of my hear. It has been burned into my mind and spirit. I love it!!!!!!!
The pipes on Michael Sweet is something else!!
Yep, so underrated as a vocalist.... he’s still got it ....
Yeah and he thinks he has lost a step cuz of his age give me a break no michael you haven't lost a step
I think STRYPER is a heaver band now compared to the 80s
My very first gig ever was opening for Stryper Nov 11th 1985. they were awesome guys and I still have my personally signed bible.
This is quite possibly their best album ever. Heavy, crunchy, killer vocals, and great songwriting. They've gotten better over the years!
Listen complete The album is amazing from the begining at the end.
I REALLY love the title track
Yellow And Black Attack was originally released as a four track ep. Which sold local in California, then rereleased as a six song ep national and fast sold 200,000. It was reissued as a full length lp hoping it would achieve gold status, but it never happened officially.
Stryper are singing and playing at the top of their game. You should definitely give No More Hell To Pay, Fallen, and God Damn Evil all a full listen someday. That tune Take It To The Cross is a mindf**k
Still at the top of their game
Styper rocks I've been listening to stryper since 1990. Awesome solid christian band
Shane, you also need to realize that Michael Sweet and Oz are among the top guitar duo's. Both very blessed and talented.
All of STRYPER's stuff is amazing. I'm loving the newer stuff, they've gone really heavy. The bassist is Perry Richardson from firehouse. Also.....God has no desire to strike you with lightning, he loves you so much dude!
Hello Donald, yeah I agree with you seems like it has less glam metal feel and more heavy metal feel, good stuff!
@@ShaneDiablo
How do I get you to react to a request of mine without joining Patreon?
Love your channel - love this song! Big Stryper fan from the 80’s - this rocks!! I caught a Bible at the Vancouver show - 1988 - 🙏🏼👍
They actually just dropped a new album about a month ago. It's called "Even The Devil Believes". Good stuff!
Best album of 2020!! Just one fans opinion...
Great Band. Another 80's band that has made a Great Comeback of Late. You cant go wrong with there last 3 Albums, they all Rock! Caught them live a year ago and did a Meet Greet and Super Nice guys.
Several albums since the 2018 album. Just released "When We Were Kings just came out Sept 13, 2024
Yahweh is a rocking song!!
Great band. My sister turned me on to them many years ago. Going to have to get the new album. Loved the song. May God bless you. 😎
Of all the new Stryper albums, "Fallen" is my favorite one. Love the heaviness on this song.
I was the one who rented the Stryper office for them when you sent your letter in and probably had something to do with sending you that Bible. You are totally forgiven and you’re a stryper fan who reviews the songs - God smiles on you 😁👍. My Stryper guys are better than ever right now❗️

Thanks Freddy, hope all is good with you!
Oh one more fact about this.. Michael Sweet gave writing credits on this song to Clint Lowrey Lead guitarist of Sevendust, cause he came up w/ that riff and showed Michael the riff and he let Michael use it for this song.
CO-wrote it. Mike altered the riff a little. There is a UA-cam video out there showing the difference. :)
Perry from Firehouse on bass..one of the most underrated bassist of that genre.
Not on the Fallen album. That's Tim. The new album (Even the Devil Believes) will be the first with Perry playing
I am really impressed with this one!!! I have been enjoying this band a lot lately!
This is one of my favorite Stryper Tunes it is absolutely Rocks
Listen to Stryper The Valley or Take It To The Cross off of God Damn Evil album

Check out the band Deliverance - Weapons Of Our Warfare.
Will do! thank you my friend for spending the time on the channel, hope you are well and all your peeps are well! be safe!
thats a CLASSIC, badass album
STRYPER bass player is the original Bass player from Firehouse
Actually, that was last Album Tim Gaines recorded with the band. Those Baselines are Mr. GAINES lines.
Last 3 albums esp. have been amazing, listen to all the clips on UA-cam of their new coming album, best ever!
I just think ... This is the best Stryper song of all time. So far.
Hey Shane! Love your channel and video reactions. Fallen is amazing. Another great song to check out is the song, Pride from Fallen. They have a brand new album coming out around September. Hope all is well my friend. Keep rockin'!!

Really enjoyed your video, I was ' playing' along with you 🎸 Great band and new album out very soon
Thanks Mathew hope all is well in your world!
Thanks for doing this song! Absolute jam! Because you asked, the name Yahweh comes from ancient Hebrew for Jehovah, which means the Lord.

I have heard Yahweh is the sound of a deep breath in than out. The Jewish people see it as a sacred name. The vowels were added later.
Thank you for doing a review on this banger of a song! It's one of my fav Stryper songs. Actually it's now #2 after To Hell With The Devil.
Shane, If you haven't yet, you should definatly get all the new albums since their reunion! I think you will see that their tallent has only gotten eponentially better since the early days! I have no doubt you will be very satified with what you hear.
Alot of people don't realize that Michael is one heck of a guitarist. He writes all the songs including riffs, and most of the solo's are his, Oz shares those duties like a Maiden type deal, but MS' solo's are always so tasteful,Melodic... reminds me of Adrian Smiths Solo's where as Dave Murray and Oz to me are more similar.
yeah, that's what I am learning, well said!
yeah man.. oz generally just holds the fort down, playin great rhythm guitar.. but both guys are awesome n underrated
in the 80s they were more split up but now michael does most of the work
" If this song doesn´t make Jesus happy, then I don´t know what would ". On the point :-) Stryper after ca 2012->now has been rock solid. No fillers, just killers. Just saying.
hilarious review...been a longtime Stryper fan, thanks for the feedback
Fallen is a great album! Even better live last year. The last three have been fantastic, including the new one. Might I suggest Theocracy - Nailed, from a band that climbed on Stryper's back and said, "Hold my beer, would you?"
Nice Pipes Shane. I was a Huge Stryper fan in the 80's and man all my Thrash Metal Fans gave me shit, funny now they all Listen to them. Just have Great Music, cheese or not. Keep up the Greatness!
Reminder Michael has put out 10 solo albums and collaborations as well as all Stryper stuff. Busy bee he is.
Fallen and G.D.E. are two heavy albums and the song "Take it to the cross" has growling vocals(tastefully done by Tommy Thayer of Bad Wolves" the band the redid the Cranberries" song "Zombie.
P.S.
Sept. 4 Strypers new album "Even the Devil Believes drops, they just released the first song on UA-cam call "Blood from above"
Fallen is a really solid album and the newest album (God Damn Evil) is really good as well.
have been a Stryper fan since the 80's and Sweet does the first solo
As a former Christian (now Agnostic), I was not allowed to listen to Stryper becaue the style of musica was 'demonic' to my parents at the time. Today, I am so grateful I get to hear this masterpiece!
agnostic? I think ur full of shit..
I think u need to look at things differently. Be REAL with God, n pour out ur heart to Him.. Just be real..
I went from Chrisitan to agnostic to basically ahteist, to druggie (til an OD) gave up dope, then a year later had a visit from demon that changed my mind about the realm of the supernatural. I conceded and Yeshua changed me and things have not been easy but are much better

The bassist from Firehouse is bringing some extra oomph to the band.
I've always liked STRYPER since they released thier first album
STRYPER 4 EVER ! 👍👌
Their versions on Carry On Wayward and Heaven and Hell are top notch.
Yeah all the time changes in this song surprised me2 when I first heard it I love the song
I am subscribed now for your rock faces alone during the yaaaahweeeeh parts
Best comment: If doesn't make Jesus rock, nothing will! As a 50 plus, I used to mock the "hair metal" bands back in the day. Now, it's refreshing to hear players who: can stay in tune, know their fretboard cold, have killer tones, and have vocal cords of steel! Well done Stryper!!!
I dropped motley crue for this band back in the 80's. The best period........... Bloodgood n barrencross.......and rage of angles..............
Somebody's watching u. All Christian bandstand
Thanks for the heads up Jeff ..Rage of Angels sounds like something i should look into.
@@ShaneDiablo Rage of Angels, great band, only 1 album

Love your face expressions and your story about the lie 😂!
I like a lot of Stryper's new stuff. They still sound great, perhaps better than before.
dude, the song is a monumental piece, great video!
The cheese is gone. It's all meat now, brother.
Their new album 'Even the devil believes' is their best from start to finish since the 80's
The last song on the Covering is an original "GOD", as far as GDE it is a plea to the Lord to damn the evil in the world. Perry Richardson from Firehouse is their new bassist
Dang what a great song. They evolved to a little more power metal instead of glam, I guess, but still sound like Stryper. Great vocals, I really like em.
They are so under rated because they are Christians but they are a kick-ass band. I just saw them last night for their 40th Anniversary Tour and man they're still rocking hard!
Great review, and its not often that a band around that long, still can have a song that is a hit, and they have the most loyal fans, more than most bands, the underdog, now is the leader in this genre of metal, it’s rare to have a band that just keeps getting better and more heavier, and all the people that used to mock them, now respect them, talent wins every time, and God always has the last laugh, no one thinks Stryper or Michael Sweet are a joke now, they persevered getting ridiculed from Christian’s ,and non Christians their whole career, but now look at the respect they have, they have a set of cojones, because it’s not been easy for them, they took a beating for years, and still didn’t back down, and their fans are proud of them, it’s a pride thing, that make their fans so loyal, they are the real deal, they really believe what they preach, because they could’ve made a lot more money not giving a Christian message.
Take it to the cross!
