But these vocalists sing in mix which is why their voices remain. You need your nasality to be able, wich they who have lost connection inside their nose can't. They just scream.
People just don't know what they're watching. Guys that actually qualify as musicians, for one. A singer that qualifies as a true vocalist. In every regard and on every instrument they're great. Robert Sweet was one of the best too. Just fantastic all around and a band that still plays as good as they ever have.
I fully agree. I didn't give them any credit back in the day because I was a retard who thought he was cool. I love these guys now. Fantastic music and musicians. Not only that but they are great human beings.
Love stryper as a Christian and a Metalhead I thank God for stryper that allows me and many other to worship and praise God in the hardcore way of heavy metal, and yes God I stand as a Soldier under your command, love you jesus you are my everything, God bless stryper.
I was listening other metal bands when this song was on the same l p.wasn't a fan of Christian music but loved this song.since then I've listened to them and many others.finally gave my heart to CHRIST and in part due to stryper,whiteheart,petra and others.check out their song Take it to the cross .it really showcases Michael's vocals.
Michael Sweet has one of the best voices on the planet. Stryper has been and is still a fantastic band. They rock in the name of the Lord. They rock period....................
Michael and Oz are the most underrated twin guitar attack in the history of metal!!! Great harmonies, technical proficiency, tight rhythyms, and insane compatibility. What more could anyone ask for?? I'd put them up there with Downing/Tipton, and Smith/Murray any day.
True..... I saw them twice back in the day... Live, they'd blow every Metal band right off stage... The only one that comes close live is Scorpions back in the day.
Seen a lot of bands since the 80s, from Bon Jovi to Anthrax basically, and these guys were the tightest and musically the best back in the day and recently. To play those riffs and sing and harmony solos are not easy. Probably one of the heaviest of glam rock bands also. A good friend of mine went to an autograph signing back in about 1989 and accidently got pushed through a window and got hurt, Stryper came to visit him in hospital.
I HAD THE LUCK OF COULD SEE THEM IN 2005 IN LORCA ROCK AND IT WAS A DREAM TO SEE ONE OF MY MOST INFLUENCING BANDS IN MY YOUTH. WITH THE YEARS THEY HAVE MATURED LIKE THE GOOD WINES. MICHAEL SINGS BETTER THAN EVER. AND THIS VIDEO REALLY RINGS GLORY.
One major benefit of being a religiously devout band is that the lifestyle sustains the vocal and playing chops of the personnel. Sweet has the toughest range to maintain. Much respect.
Stryper has "ALWAYS" been a musicians band to look up to no matter what their own promo beliefs may be. I have always been wowed by their talent. Vocal harmonies have always been insane too.
I had an opportunity to see Stryper live a few years back. They're still amazing. No drugs or alcohol. Michael still has the same amazing voice he's always had.
I've always loved Stryper since I was 16 I'm now 46. I got to see there Concert and meet them in Honolulu Hawaii. Would love to see them in Concert again Here in Biloxi Mississippi.
The crowd was totally into to it. There were just no mics picking up the crowd response like an official live recording. All the audio you hear in this video is from the bands mics.
Man these guys just SHREEEEEEEEEAD! Probably the best performance of this song I have seen. "We don't need no bass player...just listen to the twin shreds". This is how I remember the 80's...recordings where you can barely if at all hear the bass....and the guitars were in your face.
As soldiers we need these good words of encouragement. This is the way to remember. He is guiding all of us to prepare for spiritual battle. To be on a good side not the bad side. You want to fight for God. Be on the side where your brothers and sisters we give you support as you give them support in this spiritual battle.
I was a metal head back then but didn't listen to them because the media portrayed them as corny. I didn't know they were platinum artists. Now I'm 46 and no longer listening to that genre but love them, I guess cause I'm a christian. Long live Stryper!
30 years later and they still have it! I was a singer in a Christian rock band that actually got to play with Stryper, great memories.... I love how Michael lets the crowd sing the high parts! I don't blame him at all lol! Looking forward to seeing these guys in July!
We are the soldiers under God's command We hold His two-edged sword within our hands We're not ashamed to stand up for what's right We win without sin, it's not by our might And we're fighting all the sin And the good book -- it says we'll win! [Chorus] Soldiers, Soldiers, under command Soldiers, Soldiers, fighting the Lords battle plan [Verse 2] Are you a soldier under God's command Help fight the good fight, join us while you can The battle that's waiting is fought so easily Through Him, without sin there is victory And were fighting all the sin And the good book -- it says we'll win!
Still as strong, if not stronger, then when it was released 35 year ago. God bless Stryper for giving the world some of the finest HM music ever made (HM standing for His Majesty as well as heavy metal)
They just preformed this song better than they ever did in any of their recordings. Stryper is obvious a true MONSTER of Rock! Oz Fox was just axing it all up!
stryper is an incredibly underrated 80s band. I think it's because they will strictly Christian rock that they aren't as popular as all other hot 80s bands.
That's basically because we have become brainwashed by the music industry and by them pushing away the christian metal bands and they figure they wouldn't make any revenue!!!
NFLization Wise comment and i believe thats sadly true. I saw them when they first came out with the ridiculous bumble bee looking outfits and they were so talented and awesome live.
I wouldn't say strictly Christian. They had a moment where they did a commercial metal album "Against the Law." Also, they were pretty popular back in their hey day.
They have balls for sure. True integrity. They could have dropped the Christ angle at any time and started raking in money as the heaviest glam/power metal band of the Sunset Strip. Instead, they took endless crap for holding true to the Lord. I have huge respect to them for that.
They continue to amaze and inspire with their music and live performances. Oz, my brother, No matter how your trial turns out, you are a child of our Lord, Jesus Christ! May God heal you of the disease of cancer!
If you like this song then you should check out this rocking new song and vid. Its called READY by Meridian Lights. Here is the link if you would like to check it out ua-cam.com/video/8YhlQVFzvg8/v-deo.html
Crowd was great. There were no mics on the crowd at all. Most live recordings have mics so you can hear the crowd. This is a VERY raw recording of the band straight off the mixing board. This is not in any way meant to compare to an actual live concert release.
Saw Stryper 3 days ago in Bogota. I flew with my wife from another city just to see them. One of the best nights of my life. The whole crowd went nuts with them. We really appreciate what a magnificent band they are. Something to think about with people in the US you people don't appreciate what you have. Stryper is a living legend , one of the greatest bands in the world and the only band hat's worth today. God bless you boys we love you and wait to see you again in our country.
Thank you. We shot this on a ship in the middle of the ocean too. There are zero over dubs or edits and 100% Stryper on this one. Wish we had audience mics to help capture the crowd singing but things move a lot out there and it can get pretty windy.
This is one of the first songs that I learned to play, when learning to play drums. I got the tape when it came out and wore it out. it was so worn, it would speed up and slow down but I kept playing it until it finally broke.
GOD is GOOD all the time no matter what the cirmcumstances...GOOD to be Alive in CHRIST JESUS...keep running the race and fighting the Good Fight ...keep your eyes on the price. Stryper keep to the Mission. Thank You.
Stryper rocks! My favorite band in junior high circa 1987, my tastes evolved over the years as I got into more aggressive metal, but recently seen guys are back again and have rediscovered my love for those great melodic songs. Rock on Stryper!!
There aren't many singers of metal whose voices have held up this well for 30 years. Very impressive!
But these vocalists sing in mix which is why their voices remain. You need your nasality to be able, wich they who have lost connection inside their nose can't. They just scream.
People just don't know what they're watching. Guys that actually qualify as musicians, for one. A singer that qualifies as a true vocalist. In every regard and on every instrument they're great.

Awesome guitar tone. I love Stryper.
I fully agree. I didn't give them any credit back in the day because I was a retard who thought he was cool. I love these guys now. Fantastic music and musicians. Not only that but they are great human beings.
Harmonizing guitars, lead singer who has been around thirty years who isn't out of breath, respect. Great band!
How amazing is ox fox and his brilliant backing vocals.
My wife and I are seeing them TONIGHT!!!! Atlanta Ga.
Love stryper as a Christian and a Metalhead I thank God for stryper that allows me and many other to worship and praise God in the hardcore way of heavy metal, and yes God I stand as a Soldier under your command, love you jesus you are my everything, God bless stryper.

Michael Sweet has one of the best voices on the planet. Stryper has been and is still a fantastic band. They rock in the name of the Lord. They rock period....................
That crowd is unworthy of Michael's awesomeness!
Hey, I was in the crowd.
@@SouthernSkeptic You heard greatness. Love Stryper.
@@cjh0751 My favorite band since 1986. Great guys who still put out good original music..
Michael never waivered even tho they left him hanging like J.C.
Been a fan since 1986. So good to see my fellow soldiers still at the good fight. Very proud of them all. For the Glory of Our Maker. ☝️❤️
❤😮😅 Best Christian Band I have ever heard and will hope there wil always be another one day..... Immortal 80 s Rocked!!!!..... Peace ✌️ out WARRIOR 💯
Incredible sound quality.
Michael and Oz are the most underrated twin guitar attack in the history of metal!!! Great harmonies, technical proficiency, tight rhythyms, and insane compatibility. What more could anyone ask for?? I'd put them up there with Downing/Tipton, and Smith/Murray any day.
Yep and this song was a bitch to play. Amazing players.
True..... I saw them twice back in the day... Live, they'd blow every Metal band right off stage... The only one that comes close live is Scorpions back in the day.
I completely agree with you, a pity that you do not recognize how good they are.

John D True!
Still got it Mike….. remember the first time I heard you guys …. I was 16 ( 1986 ) very cool….still have it you guys.
I'm happy! Thank you !! 😊
I was gonna comment but couldn't get the words out since my face has been SHREDDED

Beautiful and just heavenly! Thank you all for sharing your gift and praising the MOST high, our Father in Heaven
I HAD THE LUCK OF COULD SEE THEM IN 2005 IN LORCA ROCK AND IT WAS A DREAM TO SEE ONE OF MY MOST INFLUENCING BANDS IN MY YOUTH.
WITH THE YEARS THEY HAVE MATURED LIKE THE GOOD WINES.
MICHAEL SINGS BETTER THAN EVER.
AND THIS VIDEO REALLY RINGS GLORY.
So glad to see These Fellas Rock and Rolling for Jesus
I've been listening to this song for 35 years and I still get chills when I hear it!
One major benefit of being a religiously devout band is that the lifestyle sustains the vocal and playing chops of the personnel. Sweet has the toughest range to maintain. Much respect.
Man can Michael Sweet sing or what ??? Man he is amazing talented singer singing for The Lord !!!!!
Amazing. He also guitar master
To sing and jam like that....wow
Michael's hair.. Almost survived. Thank you for GOD
Man, can he play the guitar. Jesus Christ bless. Love you guys. Amen
OR WHAT .
Simplicity is the Ultimate sophistication! :)
The opening riff is one of the greats, always loved this tune
Stryper has "ALWAYS" been a musicians band to look up to no matter what their own promo beliefs may be. I have always been wowed by their talent. Vocal harmonies have always been insane too.

Forever stryper...i Loved yours songs
I saw them back in 1984. Then I saw them again here in 2012. That have not lost a beat at all!!!!!
Same here, seen these guys in '86... they sound exactly the same.
Saw them on this tour in 85..THWTD tour opening night in San Diego 86..2005..2016..and still don’t miss a beat! Badass musicians
How sad that those attending didn’t really seem excited! Stryper is Awesome!!! Loved them then, still love them today!!! God Bless you all!!! 😊❤

This crowd needs to walk the plank. I've been to one Monsters of Rock and would love to have been at this one going crazy.
10-4 we have clearance for lift off

Michael still has great pipes! The boys sound so wonderful! GREAT TONE even on a boat!!!!
I was a metal head back then but didn't listen to them because the media portrayed them as corny. I didn't know they were platinum artists. Now I'm 46 and no longer listening to that genre but love them, I guess cause I'm a christian. Long live Stryper!
Mike is a true WARRIOR for Christ. Take a look at real courage....to stand up in front of that crowd and proclaim Christ!!! Oh yea....
it is a unusual combination: Metal and religion. But i like it. By the way i am not religious.
@@pank64 god bless you
Theguysinstryperreallyknowhowtorock!!!!!!!
Iwouldreallylovetomeetstrypersomeday!!!!
Stryperarethegreatestbandintheworldtoday!!!!!!!
iron maiden was the reason i became a metal fan, but these days, stryper is my metal band of choice
30 years later and they still have it!
I was a singer in a Christian rock band that actually got to play with Stryper, great memories.... I love how Michael lets the crowd sing the high parts! I don't blame him at all lol! Looking forward to seeing these guys in July!
That snare sounds awesome. Dead on to the album.
Man they sound really tight...even so many years later.
Stryper rocks!!!!
guitar tone is sick!!!! lead work phenomenal!!!!!
Without starting with the normal "I am not a Christian. .." that compressed quitar tone is sublime
We are the soldiers under God's command
We hold His two-edged sword within our hands
We're not ashamed to stand up for what's right
We win without sin, it's not by our might
And we're fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!
[Chorus]
Soldiers, Soldiers, under command
Soldiers, Soldiers, fighting the Lords battle plan
[Verse 2]
Are you a soldier under God's command
Help fight the good fight, join us while you can
The battle that's waiting is fought so easily
Through Him, without sin there is victory
And were fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!
I remember them in Houston with opening act Helstar back in the 80s. Wow. They are still awesome. Simply awesome. God is good
Do u realize this might be one of if not the best pure hard
ROck band ever and thats no hype, stryper is just flat out stunning.
Amazing performance here!!!
Wow!!! That twin guitar Solo!!!!!!
One thing I can honestly say without fear after watching/listening to these guys....
Jesus Christ they're good.
Still as strong, if not stronger, then when it was released 35 year ago. God bless Stryper for giving the world some of the finest HM music ever made (HM standing for His Majesty as well as heavy metal)
BIG thumbs up!!
always love your song ..since iam high school 1986
They just preformed this song better than they ever did in any of their recordings. Stryper is obvious a true MONSTER of Rock! Oz Fox was just axing it all up!
How can any metal head not appreciate this?
You are an - alias man... An assumed name. Just like any Trinitarian is.
Another AC feeder hack - been reported 1,000's of times too.
Because you is a hacker then. Too lie, is too be - none functioning not biological too.
Personally I find that Stryper have better songs
Metal ??
Saw you guys in West Palm Beach with Loudness (but minus Testament) around 1988 or 1989 and yet you boys still sound terrific today. Kudos!
I wanted to be Oz Fox when I was 8....love these guys.!!! It says we'll win!!!!
stryper is an incredibly underrated 80s band. I think it's because they will strictly Christian rock that they aren't as popular as all other hot 80s bands.

Barren cross was 10 times better then stryper they had balls
ストライパーは最高なサウンドにドライブ感もあるクリスチャンメタルバンド最高だ‼️
超very good band
Thank You
They continue to amaze and inspire with their music and live performances. Oz, my brother, No matter how your trial turns out, you are a child of our Lord, Jesus Christ! May God heal you of the disease of cancer!

Singing and rockin out for Christ. Love it.
how can you be on this cruise and not be rocking to this awesomeness? that crowd should have been thrown overboard lmao
Crowd was great. There were no mics on the crowd at all. Most live recordings have mics so you can hear the crowd. This is a VERY raw recording of the band straight off the mixing board. This is not in any way meant to compare to an actual live concert release.
Thumbs up
Amazing. I used to have a vinyl record of this album in 1986
Rockin with The Lord, Best live show I've ever been to.
What amazes me is how good there last 4 albums are. I’ve never seen a rock band at this stage still make the quality of music that they do.
in 2019 still love u guys... Stryper forever!
One of the BEST hard rock/metal songs EVER! Absolutely KILLER!
Te amo Michel Sweet. Sylvia Helena Herrera de Costa Rica besos
Really cool these guys are still rocking! still killer!
Men of God, u are loved & appreciated.. keep on putting it out! we want more!

My first metal record i bought in 80's is To Hell with the Devil... and it was cassette
Freaking amazing!! Love this band. I have since the the 80's and still do to this day.
Took my brother and sister to see them in 84-85 ? At the West Palm Beach auditorium they were on a bill with Loudness and TNT what a great show!
Man, the audio and video are just epic. This is a song I wore out in the 80s listening to and it's still just killer.
Thank you. We shot this on a ship in the middle of the ocean too. There are zero over dubs or edits and 100% Stryper on this one. Wish we had audience mics to help capture the crowd singing but things move a lot out there and it can get pretty windy.
big and powerful Stryper, excellent musicians and what to say about their live performances, they are the best there is.
This is one of the first songs that I learned to play, when learning to play drums. I got the tape when it came out and wore it out. it was so worn, it would speed up and slow down but I kept playing it until it finally broke.
Man that tone is bad ass!!!
These guys are great!!!!
Wonderful
metal heaven.. stryper rocks!!!
Praise the LORD! Thanks for Song
Love this song and love this live performance. So awesome !
Look at Robert. To this day he is still so totally 'hair'. So awesome. :D

Thank you, and Oz is in my thoughts 🙏
GOD is GOOD all the time no matter what the cirmcumstances...GOOD to be Alive in CHRIST JESUS...keep running the race and fighting the Good Fight ...keep your eyes on the price. Stryper keep to the Mission. Thank You.
Good live mix... ROCKIN!!!
Not too many singer at his age can compete with his range.
For real.
Stryper rocks! My favorite band in junior high circa 1987, my tastes evolved over the years as I got into more aggressive metal, but recently seen guys are back again and have rediscovered my love for those great melodic songs. Rock on Stryper!!
Didn't no they had monsters of rock cruise. I would love to go
