      I've seen Stryper 3 times. 1. with the son of a Hells Angel, 2. with a girl who could not clap on beat, 3. with girl that didn't want to listen to the concert. maybe she had homework to do at home. There may have been a 4th time where the girl went down for a alter call to accept Jesus.

    This was the first heavy metal record I ever bought.

    It rocked in '86 and it still rocks today.

      First time i heard this song in 30 years. I like everything except the vocals. The music itself is quite good. The vocals are way too hair metal for me. I really like the drums and bass. They're doing a really simple drum pattern but it sounds great. It almost sounds like the drums in 'Enter Sandman'. They must have done something. Metallica said they went out and bought all the wood they could find and built a huge wooden background so the drums would echo.

I own so many heavy metal and rock cds and I didn't notice until now that styper wasn't in it. Im gonna see if i can find a poster or a cd with their greatest hits coz i rlly loved them as a kid.

    Way back in the early 80s, I turned my cousin on to heavy metal. One day, he gave me this album and said, "You gotta hear this band." I was blown away. He told me to ignore the words because they were "stupid." Stryper planted the seeds, and then years later, I accepted Jesus at a Christian Heavy Metal band's jam session (Haven.) Stryper holds a special place in my heart. I remember jamming to their music in the car with my BFF, and trying to hit all of Michael's high notes. To this day, I can happily still do that (and creep my kids out at the same time which is a bonus. LOL) You can't take the rock or the metal out of the girl no matter how old she gets!

      Same here. I sawthem back in the mid 80's at the dynamo open air festival in the netherlands. The crowd where making wooden crosses and turn them upside down. They started to throw things on stage. And it became to dangerous for stryper to continue. They went of stage and came back 5 min later and it was the best concert i've ever bin too. 18 years later Jesus came in to my life.

So when each metal band in the credits was listed everyone in the entire school would applaud for each one until the name Stryper came up was the only time everyone hissed and booed lol. I was shocked and did not know why until later I found out they were a jesus freak band lol

      And these are just some examples from the 80s. Wait till you hear the new stuff. The One, Sorry, Make Love Great Again, Revelation, Can't Live Without Your Love (Alternate Version is better), Pride, Yahweh, etc. Go check them all out now. If you weren't a fan before you'll be one after this
      Oh and btw if you like alternative rock I recommend the following: The Plan, Murder By Pride, Reborn (2021 remix), Make You Mine (2021 remix)

    The absolute greatest vocals ever recorded in the history of music. I discovered Stryper when they first came out with The Yellow and Black Attack ep. I have loved them since. I have always felt like Michael has a voice so powerful that there's literally no music that can match it. But with this song, he begins singing with drums only, and then the music tries to match it. The greatest vocalist ever. Can you imagine sitting in the recording studio and hearing that voice ringing through the monitors? It had to just blow everyone away. Here I am now, 54 years old, seen and heard everything and everyone from every genre, but still to this day, I have never heard anything touch this. Put in your earphones, close your eyes, and listen carefully to how each word was sung. It took a Holy God's touch to sing like that!

    I use to occationally have dinner with Oz Fox and his son and I use to sing in Chior when we were in college. Oz Fox is not only a super talented guitar player, he is a super cool human being. He walks the walk and is one of the most charitable people you will ever meet. He is too humble to talk about it, but I will say it. He is a man of immense generosity.

    I was a Christian back in my school days and I've never heard of Stryper until one day a Non-Christian classmate handed me a copy of IGWT. I listened to the first track and, the next few days I was running between all record stores to hunt down EVERY Stryper releases I could get my hands on with my limited pocket money. That was in the mid 80's. And the rest, as the saying goes, is history. Still a fan till this day. God Bless Stryper for reaching out into the dark places where some Christians, with their holier than thou attitude, couldn't even be bothered. Thank you Stryper.

    I remember as a kid I had never heard of Stryper until Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell started lambasting them on television. Of course I had to check it out and fell in love with their music and it was a stepping stone to AC/DC and Ozzy.

    @christinacataldi877 6 років тому

    The seed was planted when I got this album. No one in my home read the Bible but out of curiosity I looked up Isaiah 53:5 and it left an impression on me. Now I still had some walking on the wrong path to go because afterall music in the 80’s was powerful and I lived so close to Hollywierd how was I NOT going to check all that action out! God did protect me though. The worst I didn’t in those days was smoke cigs I was always the designated driver and we where younger than most in that era getting a little bit of a late start but in 93 I got SAVED! God is Amazing how he draws His children to him!!!!!

    I love Stryper. As a Christian Believer it is awesome to hear a band that has been gifted by God to jam for the Lamb!!! In addition to this they have the musical skills right up there with the Megadeths and other heavy technical bands of the world.

    • @hillbillyheadbanger367
      @hillbillyheadbanger367 5 років тому

      Megadeth has Dave and David that are born again Christians. Kiko was talking about how they pray together before every show. Stryper was definitely up there with the best of them in skill, and passion! They were in my opinion one of the great Metal bands of the 80s.

    God doesn't care what kind of music you play as long as you are not hurting anyone. Just use the talent He gave you, that is all that matters. Bonus if you can bring a few people to the faith in the process. Kudos to these guys for doing what they do in the face of criticism.
