awesome concert from my favourite christian metal band stryper live in japan 1986. this damm rocks. micheal sweet great singer and one hell of a guitar player. just a real fun band.
I agree 100% If stryper would of never broke up. They would of been as big as Queen. Hopefully Stryper will release a bluray. This show is very clear, thanks to pioneer who filmed for 12 inch laserdisc quality. It could easily be remastered for bluray even though its filmed in 4×3 ratio.
The covering is the best cover album ever done in the history of cover albums. I would like them to do a covering "2" Could you imangine stryper doing the styx song "Sweet madame blue"? Or Uriah Heep "Look at yourself". Ken Hensley is a strong believer. In fact Uriah Heep the original lineup was a Godly band.
I remember watching this on VHS over and over in the 80s. It is amazing that they can still put on a great show these days. Although the stage outfits are a little better and the hair a little flatter now. Rock on, Stryper!
To answer those who wondered about the different lyrics on the "Soldiers..." era songs, that is correct. This is NOT 1986 but early 1985 during the tour Stryper did in Japan with Loudness. The lyrics for "Soldiers" had not yet taken their final form as this was BEFORE "Soldiers" came out. They are still going strong with the original members releasing the CD "No More Hell to Pay" in 2013. Check it out!
I had this in 12inch laserdisc. We have pioneer elctr. to thank back then. They were the only company dedicated to "disc" technology. Everybody wanted a crummy vsr. When and where will Stryper release a bluray. This show coud be remastered for bluray or sd- bluray. Check out on u- tube The dream of the christmas guitar. Dygertron the greatest christmas story in the history of the world.
Hey yeah ... unheard of - '85 I was a 28 yo Christian for 15 years not heard of them in Australia. Warned of all Rock-Metal ... for Evie T, 2nd Chapter of Acts, & other Pop Gospel music. Hungry for Rock music at that age. What a shame. STRYPER ROCK'S 👏👏🙏🤘
STRYPER PUT OUT A NEW CD NOV. 13 2013 NO HELL TO PAY IT ROCKS FOR JESUS CHRIST JESUS LIVES FOREVER RECEIVE JESUS HAS YOUR SAVOIR NOW!! LOVE YOU GUYS EVERYWERE 777
Ritchie, did you not see Isaiah 53:5 in big letters at the beginning? It says "By His stripes we are healed"! And they just performed in El Paso, Texas. Their lead singer can still hit all of the high notes. The instrumentation is phenomenal too!
STRYPER IS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND FOR 30 YEARS AND THEY STILL ROCKING FOR JESUS CHRIST.. JESUS LIVES...JESUS ROCKS..JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR..ASK JESUS TO SAVE NOW.. JESUS ALWAYS AWNSERS..JESUS LIVES FOR EVERMORE..PRAYING ALL OF US RIGHT NOW ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE ONLY LIVING GOD THE CREATOR OF EVERY HUMAN BEINGON EARTH...LOVE YOU GUYS EVERYWHERE...777
roy summers Rocking for Jesus? They were a bit on the risqué side; just look at the obvious -- you will see exposed chest, female-style hair & makeup (eyeshadow? seriously?), and the tight fitting leather pants and "dance" moves designed to accentuate his male anatomy (@5:27, for example).I thought they were a bit edgy when I was a "young person" back in the day, but now, there's no doubt about it.
No, not every band dressed and looked (and behaved) like that. I, like most young people, was very much into the bands and what not of the day. Only a handful of over-the-top bands were like that, and the "Christian" sub-genre, such an extreme was simply non-existent if not for Stryper.
+Steve Douglas Christians doesn't mean perfection. They appealed to teens back then. Many folks on here say listening to Stryper helped them get away from drugs and violent thoughts, etc. No one is perfect, but they always had a solid message pointing people to the peace of Christ.
stryper hates being called a "christian rock band" They are a group that plays rock oriented guitar music that happen to be believers in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Their musicianship was so good. Tight bass and drums. Spot on vocals and guitar work. The dual guitar leads always impressed. Even the bends are in tune.
Does anyone know if this was recorded before Soldiers Under Command came out? It seems like a number of the lyrics are different from the album. Not sure if that's because Michael was having an off night or if maybe they have not settled on final lyrics yet.
Remember watching these and many other bands on Raw Power. British tv show. great video. Loads of good bands in them days. Shotgun Messiah, Electric Boys, LA Guns, Ratt, Fastway and so many more. Much better than dubstep lol.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} .....love it....and I was ..starting the band '''TRAXTER '' ..about this time....and love these bros.. !
Whether or not you are into the lyrics, they are probably the most consummate musicians to come out of the LA Metal scene. Not only could they craft great songs with rich melodies, they were all practically virtuosos at their instruments, certainly compared to many of their peers.
All of you that claim Stryper aren't real Christians because you decide to quote the verse about Satan "looking appealing" and applying it to any context you see fit without evidence, remember when the Pharisees claimed Christ performed miracles through sorcery? Don't be like that.
Watching this I wonder why devil should have all the great heavy metal songs since there is great music made in the name of the Lord. Lyrics are very allegory.
vikingrich Sorry, but you are incorrect. I absolutely love this band and have since 1985. Was fortunate enough to sit sidestage at 3 shows, (86, 88 & 90). They had a keyboard player who rarely played w/them on stage. And yes they have also used tracks (mostly vocal). Btw.....saw them again in 2010.
Hmmmm Rich, first and foremost, sorry you feel the need for caps....not really neccesary. BUT..... I'm not really sure what part about my post (seeing them in 86, 88 & 90) do you consider "live but not back then"? The video is from 86, I saw them in 86 and they used tracks and a keyboard player in 86.
I never realized how much soloing Michael does. He actually does many if not most of my solos of theirs I realized lately. He's a pretty burly guitar player.
... and now almost 30 yrs. later, I'm in Japan introducing someone who was born in '86 to Stryper songs.
+Deborah Ruth Trotter Play them some Slayer next.

*Michael
yyour talking like a Christian band and you cussed twice
@@elliottwood3293 are you for real, relax bro - damn and hell is that bad, relax !!
Looking at a lot of these old concert videos, Oz Fox is a criminally underrated player. The guy can rip.
+Rob Kresnicka
yep.... Micheal way underrated too.....
Micheal and Oz are one of the best guitar duos in metal history
+Rob Kresnicka Both of them are great guitarists. Have you heard The Covering? Amazing covers of some great songs.
I agree 100% If stryper would of never broke up. They would of been as big as Queen. Hopefully Stryper will release a bluray. This show is very clear, thanks to pioneer who filmed for 12 inch laserdisc quality. It could easily be remastered for bluray even though its filmed in 4×3 ratio.

Michael and oz where way underrated - their up there with best of the best !!!
I still have the original 1985 Enigma Records VHS of this. No other band rocked my world the way Stryper did.
Me too!
Hang on to that and I think it will become a rare gem. If it has the original Enigma label? Same goes for all vinyl records.
Cheers!!
I remember watching this on VHS over and over in the 80s. It is amazing that they can still put on a great show these days. Although the stage outfits are a little better and the hair a little flatter now. Rock on, Stryper!
jj bug I used to watch it over,and over to myself back then.
👍🙏Yes Madelyn yes Jiménez yes cabrera yes vargas 🙏👍
Solo calidad bendiciónes ❤

one of the greatest Christian band ever
Aug 17, 2016. time fly so fast BUT THE SONGS NEVER FADE... Two thumbs up..... One of my fave rock bands
The energy is off the chain! sounds so good. Robert really sounds extra good on drums...
Easily the most fun part of Stryper shows is watching him.
Exactly ! Uncanny !
Opened for Loudness in 1985. Great band and wore out my VHS of this show
Hey yeah ... unheard of - '85 I was a 28 yo Christian for 15 years not heard of them in Australia. Warned of all Rock-Metal ... for Evie T, 2nd Chapter of Acts, & other Pop Gospel music. Hungry for Rock music at that age. What a shame. STRYPER ROCK'S 👏👏🙏🤘
the finest voice or certainly should be in the top 20 voices of hard rock/metal. WHAT A VOICE. undeniably awesome
The fact that I love Stryper and Megadeth at the same time, is because the music ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
Dave Mustaine and Dave Ellefson are Christians as well
Yeah, born again...
STRYPER PUT OUT A NEW CD NOV. 13 2013 NO HELL TO PAY IT ROCKS FOR JESUS CHRIST JESUS LIVES FOREVER RECEIVE JESUS HAS YOUR SAVOIR NOW!! LOVE YOU GUYS EVERYWERE 777

Best band Stryper
Good to see the early songs live.
Stryper rocks. I love this band.
Loudness is epic, I saw them last year, for the first time in my life, i hope to see stryper too!
thanks :)
STILL Awesome to Watch!! I still have the VHS!! LOL
wow they really rock!!!!! clean living really brings out the energy in you.
Not 100% clean. Tim Gaines was an alcoholic.
They all partied!
underrated guitarists and vocalist!!
高校生の時に福岡ライヴに行きました。懐かしいなぁ
This was record in 1985 right before Soldiers Under Command was released. Michael Sweet's book called Honestly . Talks about the live in Japan video .
Best Band Christian Metal in Absolute ! Great Live !
STRYPER IS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND FOR 30 YEARS AND THEY STILL ROCKING FOR JESUS CHRIST.. JESUS LIVES...JESUS ROCKS..JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR..ASK JESUS TO SAVE NOW..

Soldiers Under Command is such an awesome song.
Their musicianship was so good. Tight bass and drums. Spot on vocals and guitar work. The dual guitar leads always impressed. Even the bends are in tune.
God Bless You!
2020!
one best video....songs for soul
Does anyone know if this was recorded before Soldiers Under Command came out? It seems like a number of the lyrics are different from the album. Not sure if that's because Michael was having an off night or if maybe they have not settled on final lyrics yet.
Eins der besten Videos von früher. Ich habe es noch auf VHS😅
Gran banda, yo empecé escuchandolos por 86.Que gran decada para el hard Rock. Buenos Recuerdos. ..
I saw them in concert in 86... they were better LIVE …. THEY ROCKED!!!!
CDでもライヴでも、Michael・Sweetのこえはすばらしいなぁ。
People need to 🔴 putting Stryper down, they are Christians no matter what you say, or believe. Praise The Lord Amen!!!!!
Tim and his shades love it...
Robert Sweet Kills it on the drums ! wow!
awesome dude
Great voice
They are a true Christian Band. Have been for many years! The Religious dead heads and Pharisees hearts can't see it!
Remember watching these and many other bands on Raw Power. British tv show. great video. Loads of good bands in them days. Shotgun Messiah, Electric Boys, LA Guns, Ratt, Fastway and so many more. Much better than dubstep lol.
Banda EXCELENTE!!!! Tenho muitos momentos bons na memória ao som de Stryper!
やばい、Stryperめちゃいい！
Yes it is in the Soldiers Under Command Album... It's the third song... :-)
Awesome!
Jesus lives Jesus Rocks in stryper music Amen 777 777😂
AMEN 🙏👏👏🤘
Jorge JB wrote "The fact that I love Stryper and Megadeth at the same time, is because the music ROCKS". Imagine I like this and Mercyful Fate!!!
I, too, enjoy Stryper AS WELL AS Deicide and Venom!
***** Do you like KRUIZ ( gaina ) ???
Dave Mustane is a believer in the lord JESUS CHRIST SO IS ALICE COOPER. Check out the cooper album "The last temptation"
I LOVE STRYPER!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
.....love it....and I was ..starting the band '''TRAXTER '' ..about this time....and love these bros.. !
personalmente la mejor banda de heavy glam cristiana,con un sonido poderoso y la gran voz de Michael Sweet! IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!
muito bom Stryper .. aqui é Sergio do Brasil!!!
Are they still recording/preforming? I have the album
these aren't the same lyrics in some of the verses as on the album. together forever the verses are totally different!
Correct, check out Michael Sweet's autobiography, the story on why the lyrics are different is in there.
And also surrender he's singing different lyrics.
LOVE..
Whether or not you are into the lyrics, they are probably the most consummate musicians to come out of the LA Metal scene. Not only could they craft great songs with rich melodies, they were all practically virtuosos at their instruments, certainly compared to many of their peers.
My favorite Christian Rock Band will always be Petra, but STryper fills in a fun very musical niche.
Stryper rocks!!! and I beleive in God too!!!
Good Band 🎸😎👊
You guys are the bomb and always will bee 👍🙏💪
Robert causing thunder Ive never heard from him !? Ive been a fan since before this vid. Going to see them again at the Whiskey a go go in a week😇
stryper no solo llego a japon sino a lugares donde tambien se habla otros idiomas..
Stryper kicks ASS!
Awesome band then. Awesome band today!
La primera vez que vi este recital me partio la cabeza!
Très bon groupe
All of you that claim Stryper aren't real Christians because you decide to quote the verse about Satan "looking appealing" and applying it to any context you see fit without evidence, remember when the Pharisees claimed Christ performed miracles through sorcery? Don't be like that.

Calidad muchachos bendiciones.
Alguém em 2019 ouvindo um belo metal gospel ?
Tamo junto!
Once saved always saved
Lo maximo stryper , Gloria a Dios :)
un grupo que escuchado durante muchos años de mi epoca de estudiante en ecuador !!!!!
I guess that part about judging doesn't apply to you.. Of course not, never does.
Que banda! Ya vuelven para Argentina el año que viene! Stryperrrrrrrrr! Michael que vozzzzzz, god of hard/metal
mitici!!!
Still have the VHS. Michael told me he was embarrassed by this lol don't know why. Maybe it was a couple of his hopping around ha
Very good is music is god
Micheal Sweet still haves the same voice till today 11/03/2012
niiiiiice
Jesus Christ for ever
cant tell if its live or playback they are awesome!
Its not playback.
No playback or overdubs. They are one of the best live bands of the genre, then and now.
vikingrich Sorry, but you are incorrect. I absolutely love this band and have since 1985. Was fortunate enough to sit sidestage at 3 shows, (86, 88 & 90). They had a keyboard player who rarely played w/them on stage.
And yes they have also used tracks (mostly vocal).
Btw.....saw them again in 2010.
Tim Davis
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS VIDEO. Michael overdubs everything ive, but not back then.
Hmmmm Rich, first and foremost, sorry you feel the need for caps....not really neccesary. BUT..... I'm not really sure what part about my post (seeing them in 86, 88 & 90) do you consider "live but not back then"? The video is from 86, I saw them in 86 and they used tracks and a keyboard player in 86.
Un grupo que me trae grandes recuerdos
STRYPER
Jesus is the way. let God keep Stryper.
I never realized how much soloing Michael does. He actually does many if not most of my solos of theirs I realized lately. He's a pretty burly guitar player.
Music has no timelimit, as we see. :)
Stryper rules too
assino em baixo... aqui é o Girombera do Brasil haha
this band must really irritate those Christians that heaped shit on them, due to the fact that they ARE STILL FACKING ROCKING
i like their song you can die if you don't believe
The lyrics are different! Must be pre-Soldiers Under Command! The solo's on "Surrender".
If you think this is awful and terrible, why do you click the link to start watching it, then?
Damn these guitar licks are sick ! The lyrics (questionable) but the melodies and guitar runs are sick !
praise jesus
Those aren't the recorded lyrics for "Together Forever," are they? They don't sound familiar...
Alt version
Ave Sathanas!
praise jesus! Lil devil child shitlord!
Fuck you idiot
Solo Bueno......
