don t care about the lyp synch comments....i dont need a tv performance to know, that stryper is damn good at playng live,cause there s plenty of live aterial available everywhere.....these guys are Legendary!!! Love God
Yes... I saw them twice. Both times they totally rocked!!! They are true professionals.. they sound great live... trust me. Go watch a show …. they won't disappoint.
To be fair, "back in the day",on the majority of these kinds of shows, pretty much EVERYONE lip synched to their respective songs. On shows such as "Solid Gold","American Bandstand","Soul Train" and "The Midnight Special",just to name a few. Obviously,Stryper could've pulled this song off live but the show wanted a "clean" sounding performance with no chance for mishaps. It's still cool to see them even if it's not a real live performance.
Children! Children! Lip Sync performances was a norm on these shows from the 70s,80s,90s the ONLY difference is that today the artists lip sync out of necessity live!! That was NOT the case with any of these bands they ALL could play it was just policy of the shows thats all!! The ONLY band defiant enough to no do a lip sync perfornece back in the early 80s was Iron Maiden on the British music variety show Top of the Pops!!!
As a professional singer, I'm gonna say they were NOT lip syncing on this one. From watching the bass player and lead guitarist, there's like, certain mannerisms you make, when you're actually singing the song and playing your instrument at the same time, that just don't come across in lip syncing performances. Also, the lead singer changes the lead vocal line in a few key places that a singer would do during a live performance that they wouldn't do otherwise. Like, they'd have had to record a live performance for him to lip sync it that way, which would just be bizarre. Also, the distortion wouldn't have been there if they were canned. Just some observations. Gotta admit, for 'god rock', these guys really found a great crossover niche. They pulled it off as real rockers. Kudos to them!
Holy Shit.....how many times will people talk about lip synching? It was the TV shows making them do it....not the bands. If you've worked in the industry or around it you know this. It's always been done. Who cares.
The best version ever. I also like how in rhythm they were to the actual record playing. Rick Dees was a big star until he called rap music garbage, and he was correct but that was a no no.
Sucks that they lip synched. Just saw Warrant's performance on Rick Dee's show, and they played live. It would have sounded more authentic if Stryper did the same.
Sweet actually included this song on his first solo tour set. It wasn't lip synced and it was pretty darn good. If you watch some of the live videos from Japan where the bass is cranked up you will find Tim is a very good bass player. A lot of bands in the 80's and 90's played with canned tracks to enhance live sound. Is back keys and bass lines. It was nothing new
A lot of groups decide to lip sync if the lead singer's voice isn't up to snuff that particular day. Having heard Michael Sweet sing this song live (for real) before and comepletely blow the roof off the place, I would bet that it was something along those lines. Probably had a cold the week leading up to the event or something.
Trust me , it would have sounded DARN CLOSE to the same. Stryper is SO GREAT Live, it is hard telling for sure if there is lip synching going on or not. I have seen them Live 5x & They NEVER LET YOU DOWN. BEST ROCK BAND LIVE besides JACKYL I.m.h.o.
I actually saw this on TV almost missed it flipping channels but i knew they were on, fricking OZ FOX is bad ass on the Wah- wah pedal watch Him hes cool.., they look better and playing a their peak at this age. i have it in cassette " Against The Law" playing " Shining Star: no Micheal can hit those notes he's not snyc its Him n age.
I cant believe my eyes after watching that milli vanilli lip sync, OMG!!!! I've seen STRYPER 3 times in the past 20 years and the live concerts they were not lip sincing at all. They can play these songs note for note. I will never understand why the bands had to pretend when they didnt have to.Well I still love this band and what they stand for I just dont want to see anymore milli vanilli crap!! 777 JESUS CHRIST ROCKS
keyboards players doing alot of record stuff.., they pull it off most people don't know but hair metals would always play live they didn;t mind a mix in but its the real deal Check out LA GUNS on Arsenio Hall show playing " Kiss my Love Goodbye" Very Raw !!
@@beatleman69 nope according to Michael Sweet and the producer's notes that guy do not play a note in studio with stryper since To Hell With The Devil , he just was a tour guy , Michael Sweet said that he was not the right bass player to record a stryper album that's why when he left the band they dont care about it
Michael can SING I don’t care what anyone says that man has a VOICE
Stryper is so underrated as a metal band just because they sing about Jesus.
I watched this when it aired. What a great cover.
two real guitar virtuosos playing air guitar to their own parts. classic.

No lip sync here, real singing

Randy Jackson of American Idol fame as well as Journey etc... played the bass on this one track on the album.
they didnt lip synch...........stryper rocks and still does...
Does anyone have the whole show complete where Stryper comes out? ... If any please share 👍🏻✌🏻

U’re right😊. 80´s and 90´s were better for live shows.

Well you’re wrong. They may have actually been playing but the recording is the album.
Love Earth Wind & Fire.
LIP SYNCHED but still best band ever
Holy Shit.....how many times will people talk about lip synching? It was the TV shows making them do it....not the bands. If you've worked in the industry or around it you know this. It's always been done. Who cares.
Exactly!

Michael's guitar strap broke,..

Saying Gaines is a good bass player is like saying you have a brain. This idiot could not play something Randy Jackson did, you dumbfuck.
You can see the guy clearly struggling to play that bass line. Making this live would had been a disaster.
RL R this song Is live versión too
It is not live, you stupid idiot. Useless bass player could NEVER play a Randy Jackson bass line. Wipe the shit out of your ears, this is not live.
Theres nothing complicated about the bass part. Its a cool part but its not complicated.
These guys didn't need to lip sync, still love stryper though.
A lot of groups decide to lip sync if the lead singer's voice isn't up to snuff that particular day. Having heard Michael Sweet sing this song live (for real) before and comepletely blow the roof off the place, I would bet that it was something along those lines.

i wonder what it sounds like really live not lip synched
Trust me , it would have sounded DARN CLOSE to the same. Stryper is SO GREAT Live, it is hard telling for sure if there is lip synching going on or not. I have seen them Live 5x & They NEVER LET YOU DOWN. BEST ROCK BAND LIVE besides JACKYL I.m.h.o.

totally lip synched. this is the album version. evident in many parts but especially in the guitar solo with the trade offs...
I cant believe my eyes after watching that milli vanilli lip sync, OMG!!!! I've seen STRYPER 3 times in the past 20 years and the live concerts they were not lip sincing at all. They can play these songs note for note.
I will never understand why the bands had to pretend when they didnt have to.Well I still love this band and what they stand for I just dont want to see anymore milli vanilli crap!! 777 JESUS CHRIST ROCKS
Tv shows always does that. It has nothing to do with Stryper .. television does that to make it sound better. What a shame since Stryper kills it live
keyboards players doing alot of record stuff.., they pull it off most people don't know but hair metals would always play live they didn;t mind a mix in but its the real deal Check out LA GUNS on Arsenio Hall show playing " Kiss my Love Goodbye" Very Raw !!
Tim Gaines the bass player did not have the technique to play this song. I think Randy Jackson or someone else played bass on that song in the album
Tim Gaines did not played on any stryper album since the second album he was just a picture and tour bass player
@@mottosierra1372 Tim did play on ATL, just not on Shining Star.
@@beatleman69 nope according to Michael Sweet and the producer's notes that guy do not play a note in studio with stryper since To Hell With The Devil , he just was a tour guy , Michael Sweet said that he was not the right bass player to record a stryper album that's why when he left the band they dont care about it
Is this dub? =S
