Unlike most 80's bands, Stryper is arguably better today, than they were back then.
'Fallen' (2015) is very arguably their best album, and 'Yahweh' is a work of art.
I prefer no more hell to pay but that's a good one too.
Slam dancer agreed
well, maybe a little. But I prefer any 80s song (except against the law)
I prefer No More Hell to Pay, but Fallen was an absolute gem!
I rank NMHTP at the top as an all around masterpiece. My only discomfort with Fallen is the almost nonexistent bass playing.
In an era where everything was "Devil" and evil and edgy, Stryper stood firm in their beliefs and told the trends to get lost. In a time where televangelists were saying they were evil and wolves in sheep's clothing, they stood firm in their music and told the talking heads to get lost. There is literally nothing more metal than that.
And said televangelists got busted for numerous things lol. Ironic...Don't ya think 😂
if there mixing secular music with there christian tunes there not true christians. that would be like goin to church and singing How great thou art and then turn around and sing in church. breaking the law by judas priest. the two dont mix. your either on one side of the fence or the other. not both.
Matthew 7:16 Jesus is my rock. Stryper bears good fruit that remains. God will judge who is true, I trust Him who commanded me to love everyone.
@@jesusmylordsaviorking3726 They did their own cover of Breaking the Law and other songs as homage to those they grew up listening to. Those who influenced them to make STRYPER even exist, with their message that they throw at people who normally don't want to hear their message. Because STRYPER is trying to reach the Lost, rather than sing some songs that put everyone to sleep in church, and only sing to those same people over and over again, rather than trying to do what our Mission here on Earth is, which is reaching the Lost.
Truth! The Lord basically said the sick doesn't need a doctor, so why would people just keep preaching the word to people who already know it? I used to hang out around a couple of Christian hardcore bands and they would play the dirtiest, roughest dive bars and Venues in Detroit that you'd ever see. I witnessed some incredible things that took place. They would announce they were a Christian hardcore band and many times, they'd get booed...things thrown at them, threats of violence, etc. Once they started playing, that all changed. People realized they weren't soft, they weren't just there for looks. They were the real deal. Crowd would go nuts. I even saw people that came up after the show who were the people threatening the band, that never believed in the creator and then asked to know more about Jesus. It was pretty powerful to see firsthand. They would play these places because they were typically a crowd who would never step foot in a church so they'd never have a chance to hear the word. I'd imagine that, it's safe to say, Stryper has a similar position of taking their music and message to many places and people who would never know it otherwise.
The ending high screams DEFINITELY had a "Cemetery Gates" vibe.
I'm an atheist myself, but I've always appreciated Stryper. They carved out their own niche in metal, and when it comes to instrumental and vocal skill they're as legit as they come.
100% you nailed it!
Amen brother...
Same here. I'm an atheist and Stryper's lyrics and message don't typically resonate with me much. But they are very talented musicians, and Michael Sweet had, and has, an amazing voice.
I watched some recent interviews with Michael Sweet and he seems like a really nice, down to earth guy. His voice is still stellar as ever; I havent met anyone yet who hasnt at least acknowledged his vocal abilities.
Now repent of your atheism, turn from love of sin and hatred of God and flee to Christ Jesus. Why will you die in yours sins?
STRYPER
S- salvation
T- through
R- redemption
Y- yielding
P- peace
E- encouragement
R- righteousness
Its unbelievable that Michael Sweet is in his 50's and can still sing like that its like he never ages. Just goes to show you be firm in your believes when it comes to god and he will strengthen you with all you do.
Their song “Yahweh” from their 2015 album “Fallen” was pretty awesome.
Not sure what albums it was on but Nothing but the blood of Jesus rocks too
@@fallenrocker100 Actually not a Stryper song. That's PK
Mitchell.
The fallen album is a masterpiece
My favourite Stryper song of all time
His voice is still amazing, a true testament to the gift God has given him. Love your videos by the way. Great stuff
Carl Hawkins yep, Michael Sweet still has the voice of an angel - an aggressive angel, but still an angel 😂
He loved us so much that he gave us his LIFE. Thanks be to God for the "Blood from Above"
"A righteous murder scene of love". That's a very Metal way of describing it.
Jay Hamilton very metal! So good!
It’s also very biblical
Wow Stryper never ceases to amaze me! Michael Sweet's vocals are still in prime condition. Incredible he can still shriek those high notes and with power! I for sure want to purchase this album. And I feel it has some thrashy elements along with a power metal vibe. Great stuff. God Bless!
Thanks for the reaction guys! Glad you liked the song. The Album comes out Sept 4th. God Bless!
Okay, I had never heard of Stryper. This is sick! Gave me chills. Thank you for introducing me to them Pastor Rob! That chorus is killer.
As a 53 yrd old drummer from the 80's/90's genre, I've always said; "It's the music that gets me there, and the message I need! Perfect"
This is a great jam from Stryper. They are like vintage wine, the older they get, the better they sound. Cheers gentlemen.
Stryper was around way before the Power Rangers....
Y’all should react to some of their older heavier songs as well, like “Soldiers Under Command” or “More Than a Man.” Stryper has always been a good mix of heavy and glam.
This is full-blown power metal.
The first American power metal band that got major popularity I believe.
@@zavaughnkirkland5892 Stryper ain't a Power Metal band
Best thing about Stryper is the dual guitars.
If you're going to react to Iron Maiden, you should watch "Fear of the Dark" live at Rock in Rio 2001.
The crowd participation is incredible.
The best thing about Stryper is... "Stryper"...the dual guitars is part of who they are, as well as the bold lyrics, stellar vocals, driving bass and hammering drums!
You mentioned the "I Am" statements, that means I think it's time to listen to "I Am" by Theocracy.
I agree
Absolutely, y'all must.
Mind blowing
Its a very good song, but my personal pick would be Martyr. That was the first Theocracy song I heard and got me Into the band.
Love Theocracy. Best lyricists in rock music.
There aren’t many bands from the 80’s era that are still recording excellent quality music and at that level of musicianship in 2020. But Stryper certainly is! Still going strong and sounding better than ever. Stryper was one of my favorite bands back in the day and they STILL are.
Yeah. I didn't think about it. There was a spate of bands in the last 10 years or so put an album out and then kinda go back to "real" life. Even ones ghat never really went away I lost interest in. Except Stryper. Then again, they also do the hard work of marketing and staying active, engaging with fans on social media.
Ugh I can't wait for you to hear Theocracy- I Am.
Stryper - Take It To The Cross. U guys will love it!
Pastor Robert you have to listen to soldiers under command from STRYPER and the other one they sing is More than a Man those songs are awesome ..🙏🏼✌🏼
If you wanna hear out a song that shows their progress in Music I really Recommend you give a listen to Yahweh from their album Fallen, personally its one of my favorite tracks by them, huge EPIC vibes from that song!
Stryper is definitely not just an “80’s band”. They’ve been putting out consistently great hard rock records for 15 years now. Hope ya’ll check out all of it.
They took a long hiatus. I’m referencing 2005-present
Great hard rock and metal indeed.
Their No More Hell to Pay album, is phenomenal.
Here's a list of Stryper songs you guys need to react to
All for one
Yahweh
More than a man
Reach out(original 80'sversion)
Rockin the world
No more hell to pay
They have a lot of great songs,these are just a few that i think you should try next. Love your channel!
I'm shocked you mentioned control denied. Not a lot of people know them. Chuck Schuldiner of Deaths band before he died rip
That band was killer and of course I love Death as well. Chuck was an amazing and talented musician!
Chuck made amazing music
Too bad they never finished/released the second album
The one and only Stryper. Absolutely awesome.
This song is amazing. And I love the album cover and title. It’s epic
Great song. I’ve been with Stryper since the 80’s. 🤘😊
God bless you guys! I like tuning in to y'all's videos.
Great remark as you said that these guys didn’t fall as many other preachers, televangelists or CCM bands. They were in the middle, never completely part of CCM industry and initially being teased by the metal media of their time. They deserved a little bit of it, they were throwing bibles to the audience in their concerts... To me now, they show a good Christian stand. They did their 80’s crazy stuff, then completely fell in 90’s... bankrupted... and they’re back to life in this last decade. Check their recent songs Yahweh and The Valley. Now they are revered by their metal peers and Michael Sweet has been doing side projects with great metal names. They gave you good material for your theological approach but these guys are a great topic for Contemporary Church History. Great reaction! You just gave great fuel to my Metal and History world. Cheers!
well they did fall..it just wasnt public at the time..the admit to being drunk basically everyday in their hey day
Theocracy - I Am
Also, any Project Aegis tune. Project Aegis is Matt Smith of Theocracy's charity project, featuring multiple singers and musicians from different metal bands, with 100% of the profits going to various charities.
Project Aegis - Collide & Spark
Project Aegis - Angel In The Ashes
Project Aegis - And The Rest Is Mystery
Yes. Absolutely!
I AM
Altar to the Unknown God
As the World Bleeds.
Everyone I have sent and the rest is mystery literally thought it was the best song they had heard in a while!!
Dude, I've literally been recommending this songs ever video. Lol I love Theocracy- I Am.
Mirror of Souls and Laying the demon to rest is awesome also
Nailed...Mirror of Souls, As the World Bleeds etc etc
Yes!! Theocracy rocks!!
Guys, Living Sacrifice. Amazing Christian metal band.
3 years later. I would love to see you guys react to some of the newer Stryper. "Yahweh" is arguably their most theological song and epic in the song structure.
You guys need to check out ark of suffering or the test for leprosy by Tourniquet.
Agreed
Dude yes! Or Tears Of Korah which is my favorite Tourniquet from the Stop The Bleeding album.
Anything from the Stop The Bleeding album.
Guy Ritter- the original singer or Tourniquet, is still my favorite Tourniquet vocalist. Those first 3 albums still hold up imo. 🤘🏼
@@wayneanderson2866 I always thought the vocal's in Tourniquet were their weak point. Couldn't stand Guy Ritters vocals. Terrible 🤮
That song rocks, like their old stuff
So glad you guys are back.
I have always stated that Christian Musicians are my metal pastors with Rock sermons. Michael Sweet is close to 60 and he said he has lost an octave in is vocal range, and still can nail that scream. He said he learned to scream before he learned to sing. Please do some Bloodgood tight band Les Carlsen has a gravel in his vocals but his falsetto is amazing. I have over 900 cassettes from 70s, 80s, and 90s there are so many great bands. I was introduced to Christian Metal from a woman from LA visiting WA state 8n 1987. I was hooked. I hitchhiked from Longview Wa to LA in 1988 for our first date eventually lost contact then in 2006 we met and married the next day and we are serving God togather 16 years later.
Dude, what a beautiful and natural move into telling folks the good news that in Christ alone can we put down our masks, and see our real faces be molded into the likeness of the mask we once pretended was our real face!
The thing I love about Stryper is that, in its essence, they are beyond metal. The majority of metal just sings about evil and the devil to be cool and fit in. It's not rebellious at all. Stryper on the other hand is singing about the creator, messages of positivity, and being absolutely unashamed or apologetic about it. That's TRUE metal and rebellious as can be! The interesting thing about Stryper is that they've had loyal fans of ALL walks of life...Christians, Atheists, Wiccans, Satanists, etc...the band is well respected and loved by so many.
Check out the rest of their stuff from the last 9 years, they’re more amazing now than they were in the 80s
I love Stryper , I Believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus died for our sins..... but it give us not the right to sin. We must life our live as close to God as possibel. Greetings from the Netherlands and just join youre channel.
I see the Opeth shirt, does he like bands like Extol and Becoming The Archetype?
You should react to Becoming The Archetype's adaptation of How Great Thou Art. Heavy worship at it's very best.
I 2nd this! And yall should also react to "a gift beyond human reach" by Extol
This is my ring tone. Definitely should do that, love that song.
I freaking love BTA and Extol!!! I would love for them to do "Undeceived" by Extol or "Self Existent" by BTA
That's an awesome song.
Their version of how great they out is incredible!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!! STRYPER RULES!!
I remember Stryper! Heck yeah lol
The most I like from this video is wachting a father spending time with his son!!
Thank you for this Stryper reaction! Awesome!
Thanks pastor Rob for the video and clothing link. Like there stuff. Really like the shirt your wearing in the video. Reminds me of a sleeping giant album cover. Definitely Kool. Love your reaction videos
Lol! It's funny that you mention Cemetery Gates cuz I thought of that too after the last high-pitched note.
Love hearing gage talk more. Always appreciate your guys’ insights.
Stryper can rival any band in there league... They are that good. Stryper is true and honest in their delivery and message.... Man I love Stryper. Life long fan.
You should do Rime of the Ancient Mariner from Iron Maiden. It tells you a story as its playing. Listen it from the "live after death" live version in '85
I have heard Stryper since the beginning and have followed them through out there career. I started in the 80s and I still listen to them I am an old rocken roller and I am 64 years young. They are awesome and Stryper keep Rocking for God. God Bless.
I'm very late to the party and just found them in 2018...but quickly have become one of my favorite bands of all time...I already pre ordered the new album Sept 8th release...slowly buy their back catalog of albums 💿
You won't be disappointed. Not a bad album in the bunch
Awesome take guys!
Absolute killer track!!
Honestly, it has blown me away and I’m hoping the rest of the album continues in this vein
hey, i only recently discovered your channel but i think what you guys are doing is great! really love the discussions after the songs. how about reacting to another slayer song? my recommendation is south of heaven. thanks for being awesome you guys!
This is a great song. Looking forward to the new album. Great riffs. Great vocals. Nice solo
They was great back then and they are brilliant now ✝️❤️✝️
Sounds Great!!! I know, stryper for Long time une or my predilectChristian metal bans thanks from puerto rico god bless
You're the man Pastor!
I wouldn't be opposed to some more Stryper reactions at all.
Man, the more I listen to this album the more I fall in love with it haha this album is gold
With that sermon, Peter is the foundation of Christ's true church. However, Mary preached the 1st sermon ever when she came from the tomb screaming He's ALIVE!!! He's Alive is a great song I'd LOVE to see you guys listen to
Hi Rob and Gauge! Love the videos you guys put out! It always brightens my day to be exposed to new music and experience it with you both. I would highly recommend August Burns Red - Redemption or As I lay Dying - Behind me Lies Another Fallen Soldier. These two songs are very dear to me and I would love to hear your reaction/analysis.
So glad ya’ll liked it. Be sure to check out the last three albums No More Hell To Pay, Fallen and God D... Evil. It’s one of the very few bands that still has it vocally and musically to go along with touring every year and a new album every two years!!!
Michael Sweet is the singer of Stryper and he still can belt out the notes!
Should check out Living Sacrifice,, they were a big influence to Demon Hunter
Screwtape is great.
Cool thing about Living Sacrifice, at least for a young christian in the late 1980s, early 1990s is Living Sacrifice tackled politics in a way that unabashedly connected Christianity and morality and political conservatism. Example "Darkened" on _Inhabit_ ends with an audio sample "Liberalism poisons the soul" from "See? I Told You So". That track and others suggest Christians need to be wary the motives that seem benign, even righteous on the outside, but are rotten at the core (eg Environmentalism, Animal Rights, Affirmative Action, Racial Justice, "Safe" sex) and threaten to undo a society that, so far in history, represents best chance of hope, freedom, and prosperity for all mankind.
Pleaseeee, I loved when you guys reacted to pisces - jinjer. They have a new song, very interesting, it's called Noah. I want to understand the ideia of the song.
Best regards, love your work
I have seen them and they are awesome live too.
Those screams! Definitely Had some Halford, but those last scream, reminds me of Like early Pantera! Even before Cowboys From Hell was released.
Probably one of there best songs. With awesome lyrics and guitar
I have a band recommendation for next video or future videos: the band "Theocracy" any of these songs would be awesome.."The Master Storyteller" "I Am" "Hide in the Fairytale" "30 Pieces of silver" any one of these you can't go wrong! Love the channel/videos keep it up and God bless you always.
Miss you guys
Im so glad i support you guys on patreon
Thanks you for the support! Hope I pronounced your name correctly in the video.
You did thanks :) always looking forward to the next video
Thanks about the new music !
Their long career is turning into a musical Pilgrims Progress. I am the same age as the band members and have followed them from the beginning. Compare their early fun loving light but solid gospel lyrics from the '80's to the current lyrics that reflect a lifetime of spiritual battle full of scars, pain, and firm resignation to Christ alone.
I'm with you brother. If I'd known what 2020 would be like, I'd stayed in the 80's too! Much, better music and times then.
Love you guys
Good job guys.
Grate reaction and discussion. Should also react to the song more than a man.
That is a great and an underrated Stryper song. And could be a prequel to Blood From Above.
atranfanatic it’s literally been out for 2 days💀 how is it underrated?
You guys rock!
I happen to have discovered a metal church in Dayton Ohio that is Christian metal themed for those that love metal and the lord. Have you guys heard of it? Sounds really awsome.
This song hits me every time when Michael sweet hits them high vibrato note in the beginning of his song.
That threw me for a loop when you mentioned Control Denied being their guitarist Shannon Hamm is a good friend of mine.
Cemetery Gates is on Pantera's Cowboys from Hell album. The singer for Stryper reminds me of Rob Halford from Judas Priest with the high pitched vocals.
Stryper rocks 🤘
Heavy Metal Pastors..love it...
Yes!
Bombastic Best!!!
They THOUGHT it was murder but in truth, Christ laid his life down for them. He could've stopped it at any time he chose but, what he chose was love for mankind. The most true statement ever is, Love kills
Been a Stryper fan since the beginning.
I never was a fan of Styper but I’m still a fan of your channel!
Dude's got some sick vocals 🤘🤘
Wow? Praise Yeshua 👍
Thanks for the shout out Pastor :)
My last name shouldn't be that hard, haha. It's italian. (I'm brazilian though)
Zanotti. Za as in "Zachary"; notti as in "notty"; "Zahnotty" should sound similar to the real deal :)
Keep up the good work of sharing the good news :)
godsmack - unforgettable well worth the watch
So awesome that Stryper is still all about God’s word. Amazing song, it really surprised me. My favorite Christian metal band is Believer. Their album Sanity Obscure is so good and thought provoking. I think you guys would enjoy it.
Sons face is like, i didn't want to be here but Daddy made me do this.
This whole channel was his idea. I was the one coerced into being a part of it. 😉
Good job analyzing this song. I like the sound too but particularly like the lyrics and how as you pointed out told the Gospel very clearly. I like how it traces God's redemptive plan through Jesus's sacrificial blood.
