I was only allowed to listen to The Cathedrals and other Southern Gospel quartets at home. So Stryper was a very welcomed discovery.

    Stryper has a newer song called “God Damn Evil” which is like this style but it’s a prayer asking God to damn evil and save His people from Satans evil. Stryper was condemned back in the 80’s for doing devils music because they dressed like Kiss and Black Sabbath and played the same style music as those bands, the church claimed they would taint what is Holy by making it common.

      Stryper and other rock groups that were disliked just spoked the language of metalheads to get the message to them.

    I’m a metal head in my late forty’s and I first heard of stryper when I was at school, I absolutely loved them and still follow their music now, my view of metal is if you can connect with it who cares whether its demonic, political, ballads or religious just play and enjoy. You may not realise it at the time but it will help you through the tough times bring you great memories and educate you 😁

    I have been a fan of Stryper from their beginning days, when they word the makeup and dressed like bumble bees, hehe!! I finally got to see them one year, when they came to Spokane, WA on my birthday, no less. A friend of mine got us tickets, and we got to the venue, and found a table towards the back, below the balcony, and enjoyed the show. About halfway through their performance, they came out with stacks of pocket bibles with their logo on the front, and started tossing them out to the crowd. Well, one of the bibles went flying up towards the balcony, but ended up landing on the table right in front of us! I was fortunate enough to get a Stryper bible, and after the concert, I went to the meet and greet, and they all autographed it. I still have that bible, and I still read it to this day, although it is somewhat worn and well used, lol! A very nice souvenir indeed.

    I saw Stryper live in Birmingham, AL 1987 or 88. I was in my early teens. My friends and I had went to one of those youth preacher things at a local civic center. The ones that rail against rock music and use various known "Devil" infused musics , for instance, Led Zeppelin's backward message in Stairway to Heaven, to lure young minds to Christ. I remember, leaving that event and my friends and I were talking about destroying our tapes and we were like :"Hey, it's cool, we still have Stryper"! I never destroyed my tapes and I came across Metallica and that was that. The moral of the story? I'm 48, 7 years sober, Jesus never left me, I still love Jesus, I talk to Him everyday, all day. He is my Redeemer and coming King. I still enjoy all kinds of music, ABBA to ZZ-Top.

    Stryper were the real deal. They respected their audience and did their best to make quality music. They were never one of those bands pretending for the lucrative Christian market.

    I was a teen in the 80s. In 1987 I was 17 a woman I met visiting from CA heard what I was listening. She mailed me 3 Christian metal albums that changed my life. I like to think of these artist as Metal Pastors with rock sermons. Just a side note in 2006 I once again crossed paths with this woman and a week later married her. Interesting how God works.

    Stryper was my first concert I ever went to. They were one of the only bands at the time that had all aged shows. Was fun.

    As young man pulling up in my car to church with Stryper rocking on the speakers. I remember the Pastor made a comment and the younger vickor was doing the old clearing the his throat doing the hand knife throat to the pastor trying to stop him. Later the vickor told me the whole story. Something the to the effect the pastor couldn't see why young people don't listen to worship music and the vickor told him that WAS worship music just in metal form. And he was like really? And was given a printed version of the lyric's of Stryper. So later if he heard young people talking about concerts or going or whatever he'd say " I do hope your going to a Stryper concert" trying to be all hip. It still cracks me up.

    The Power Team came to my hometown in Michigan and I got to see them preform. They were pretty cool. I loved seeing those hot water bottles burst!! Also, the song Honestly by Stryper got me through some of my worst moments in life but that's another conversation about that book!

  • @danadickerson91
    @danadickerson91 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember seeing The Power Team back in '88 or so....I loved Stryper back in the day. I never cared much for the yellow and black stage clothes or the giant permed hair, but the music and message are what stood out to me. They still tour and create new music and IMO, they have only gotten better. Check out their song Yahweh.

    Every Letter in the band’s name has a meaning: Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace Encouragement and Righteousness, I also remember John Jacobs and the Power Team from 1988 when they did the show at Evangel Christian Church.

    Stryper was and still is an incredible band! They are completely unapologetic about their love for Christ and they have reached millions. Their musicianship is top notch and Michael Sweets vocals are powerful.

    Ahh memories.. Stryper was the most popular religious band then and I believe the only religious metal band to reach that level to this day They could fill an Arena. I saw them with Dio on the Heaven and Hell tour in the mid eighties and they handed out mini Striper bibles that I still have somewhere. The Singer and the drummer are brothers. The drummer Robert was one of my influences and always had his kit turned sideways and cymbals hanging from chains which I copied
    later. The only other drummer I remember playing sideways to the crowd is Kelly Keagy from Night Ramger. Pretty sure they are both still touring a bit today. Anyway, Thanks . Good show.

  • @timinglis340

    I saw them on the In God We Trust tour in 87-88 in Melbourne. They were seriously good musicians too. Thanks for doing this. Check out some of their latter stuff while you’re here, they’re a bit heavier now.

    I have been a Stryper fan since the beginning which has been 35 years now. Much like Pastor Rob I was introduced to them through a friend who had their Yellow and black attack poster on his wall. That was my entry into Christian Metal. They have gotten better with time and age, and Michael can still hit those notes today. I cannot wait for the full album of Even the devil believes to be dropped. The anointing is still very much on them today!

    ISAIAH 53:5. And by his stripes we are healed.. my first ever concert back in the late eighties.. (in God we Trust 87) I took secular friends. They rocked out.. Stryper threw bibles out in the crowd!! It was amazing!!!

    Stryper is just wholesome! As a person who's defenitely not a fan of any organized religion I can't help respect them for how they deliver their message.
