Mike, this song is just amazing. Given everything you have all been through the last couple of years how is it that you are making career best music? So thankful for all the goodness God has poured into my life and the life of my family through you guys and praying for healing, strength, courage, wisdom and fresh creativity for the way ahead.
Michael Sweet This was my request. I've had him react to a few songs and other reactors too. I've been a fan since 1985 when I was 10. I saw the video for Soldiers Under Command on MTV. Been a fan since. Yahweh, More Than A Man and The Way are probably my faves. Thank you for all of the music. I have every Stryper, Michael Sweet solo, Sweet Lynch, Sunbomb, and Iconic album.
I became a Stryper fan when they came to Spokane Washington back in 1988. This band changed my life...they saved me. I finally got to meet them when they came back on their Reborn tour. Robert and I spoke for a few minutes and I told him about some things I was going thru and he gave me a hug and told me I was a good man. I will never forget that moment as long as I live. Thank you STRYPER
That riff! Beautiful & wicked all at the same time. Sweet is awesome as ever, wow. Oh my...that break for the solo...reminiscent of Killswitch Engage...fantastic.
My favorite band of the 80s the most underrated heavy metal band of all time there is no metal band on Earth that can compete with Stryper right now!!!! they went from being a glam metal 80's band to a serious power metal band that is firing on all cylinders Michael Sweet is in the top 5 metal singers of all time if not the top three!!!! This is definitely a 10/10 serious metal here!!!!🤘💛🖤🤘💯🎤
This is a band that always has been “the show must go on” type. It reflects even in the eyepatch that Michael’s wearing. This band just can’t be stopped and rocking harder than ever. The neoclassical shift in this track always gets me! Stryper 2023!
People like to make fun of Christian bands of all stripes. But I've always loved Stryper. I can't believe he can still hit those notes. That's amazing. 10 out of 10.
Simply one of the best bands from the 80's and now!! Mikes vocals are second to none period. He is right where he needs to be vocal wise. The rest of the band is so talented, kicking Satan's ass all these years has certainly paid off. God bless.
Stryper are definitely in a state of second wind at the moment. Their last four or five albums have been extremely consistent, and also very dissimilar to one another in a fascinating way. I'd say they peaked on the 2015 album "Fallen" - very much in the vein of classic Stryper, with the singalong factor and just a sharper, more metallic edge - but there's a lot to be said for the rest of their recent catalogue. Here in Europe, this kind of music never really went away but continues to live and thrive, so I'm truly happy that in this day and age TH-cam is apparently spreading the word back overseas as well. On a sidenote: I'm a hard atheist, so you see you don't need to share Stryper's faith to appreciate them: they're a quality band, and what they choose to write about is their business. The same goes for our Swedish titans of Christian power metal, Narnia, who I really recommend. Their singer's name is Christian, aptly enough 🙂
Been a fan of Stryper since 1984, so happy they're still blasting through my speakers decades later. Michael Sweet can still bring it with the voice, he and Oz Fox can still shred and put together MASSIVE riffs, Robert Sweet still pummels the skins and the "new kid" Perry Richardson is locked in on bass. And the message remains the same: Jesus is the Way!
Awsome song. Stryper is my favorite band, and tbey have only gotten bstter over the yeara. Glad to know they are still preaching Gods word through their music.
You are 100% on point! Stryper was influenced by Priest. That being said they still are making great music 40 years later. How many 80s bands sound like that still. They're in a league of they're own. Great band, great review. 9👍
Stryper still bringing it after 35 years. Michael Sweet’s pipes are absolutely amazing. If u get a chance, check out one of Michael’s solo hits , “Bizarre”. 80’s Metal all over it and it was done around 5 years ago
Stryper is very consistent with their music always banging out great music. After all these years I finally got to see them perform live and I wasn’t disappointed. Small venue good crowd but they rocked it out! I preordered Thai whole new album and the 3 songs that you can listen to are great
Stryper band called by God to continue to do what they have done in the past. This band is great and more better than all bands from the 80's. Michael voice never fade. Better and better with age. Stryper always rock for Jesus Christ.
Not familiar with Stryper? You been living under a rock for 40 yrs? Lol 😂 I've been a hard core fan from their first album in 1984 and seen them live 19 times (the last 2 times this past July). Can't wait for this album to drop on Oct 21st.
Glad to see you feature Stryper. Love his music. Other reaction videos wont give christian rock metal music a chance. Keep up the good work. I am a subsciber now.
It’s great to hear lyrics while the jamming is still going on. Too many bands slow down or virtually halt the jam while the lead sings. Another good one by Stryper!
I believe Michael had to wear an eye patch due to an eye procedure he had to endure and would never want to go through again. I watched a video a while back if my memory serves me right. Also, I've followed these guys since their first album release 1983-84, Yellow and Black Attack and still have that original vinyl that I can turn on my ancient Technics SL-1400 direct drive turntable. I've been to a couple concerts in the mid 80's here in Portland, OR where it was loud and full of energy just as it is today. I do no know how Robert remains so flexible and full of movement to this day because he's a little older than me, as I'm approaching 57 in May and cannot move like that behind my drums, especially after 11 surgeries. I guess that's why he's called the "Visual Time Keeper"!!!
Yeah I gree with you but consider my view I have been a metal fan for decades I'm 56 I remember when they started I have heard and seen some of the founding bands of the speed metal movement dude I'm a Christian also this is one of the best metal songs I have ever heard #2 they have another one it's way excellent because of many factors but to me a long long time metal fan it's Gold .
Thanks brother👊🙏
No, thank you for making awesome music!👊🏾

This song is my newest favorite Stryper song. It has everything I love about Stryper in it!
I became a Stryper fan when they came to Spokane Washington back in 1988.

I will never forget that moment as long as I live.
Thank you STRYPER
Robert Sweet needs more recognition. One of the Greatest Rock Metal Drummers ever. Killer Tune!
Agreed
Yes sir I agree
i can only imagine how tiring playing the drums at normal speed feels like. i was tired watching him play.
Michael Sweet not only has those pipes but just shreds on the guitar.... The whole band sings like angels and are all very talented
I agree the harmonizing backup vocals from Oz and Perry round out the power
@@KennyRoudabush Damn I had not realized that Timothy Gaines was not playing bass ...
If there was a list of top 10 singer/ metal guitars mike should in the top 3.
And the guy's almost 60! Definitely blessed.
@@troywestTim hasn’t been with them for a while now 😢
Very few (if any) bands from that era are even close to still performing at this level.
True story.
That riff! Beautiful & wicked all at the same time. Sweet is awesome as ever, wow. Oh my...that break for the solo...reminiscent of Killswitch Engage...fantastic.
Stryper was the first metal band I had ever heard. It's amazing to hear Michael's voice sound just as good, if not better than he ever has!
The older they get their music just keeps getting better.
That legit might be the best song they have ever made.
Very modern and well done power metal.
Every song they have ever done and will do will always be good
I was surprised.....and impressed
My favorite band of the 80s the most underrated heavy metal band of all time there is no metal band on Earth that can compete with Stryper right now!!!! they went from being a glam metal 80's band to a serious power metal band that is firing on all cylinders Michael Sweet is in the top 5 metal singers of all time if not the top three!!!!

These guys are still rockin into their 60's!!!!!
It’s amazing that this a band from the 80’s still sounding this tight. Wow, just Wow!!!! 😎👍🏼
People like to make fun of Christian bands of all stripes. But I've always loved Stryper. I can't believe he can still hit those notes. That's amazing. 10 out of 10.
"All stripes". I see what you did there.
Next time someone makes fun of it, hit them with some Fit For A King or Nine Lashes
Simply one of the best bands from the 80's and now!! Mikes vocals are second to none period. He is right where he needs to be vocal wise. The rest of the band is so talented, kicking Satan's ass all these years has certainly paid off. God bless.
Greatest band ever. Been my favorite band since 1983

I absolutely love this band. Thier last 4 albums are thier best work yet and I've been a fan since Soldiers came out back in the 80s.
crazy how they have turned from a pop/glam metal band in the 80's to a harder, almost speed metal in the present almost 40 years later
Awsome song. Stryper is my favorite band, and tbey have only gotten bstter over the yeara. Glad to know they are still preaching Gods word through their music.
i saw Stryper in the 80s still my favorite band all time and i met Michael Sweet one time awesome singer and very nice person. that voice is amazing .
Love this band. My introduction to them was the song-- To Hell With The Devil. Went right out and bought that album. Be a huge fan since.
Stryper was one of my favorite bands growing up! Love that you did this 💙
You are 100% on point! Stryper was influenced by Priest. That being said they still are making great music 40 years later. How many 80s bands sound like that still. They're in a league of they're own. Great band, great review. 9👍
Stryper clearly is one of the best all time metal bands from all shades of metal. This may be there best!
Nothing much to say...
Glad that bands like Stryper and Queensryche are having late career success with no signs of slowing down!!!
Amazing. Michael hadn’t lost those pipes at all and the whole band sounds great. This song very good.
Stryper Rocks bro. total respect!!!
I agree on the intro-scream.. quite Judas Priest-like or even Accept-ish. Gets the heart rate up nicely 👌.
10
Stryper is metal from heaven!
Michael sweet still has them awsome vocals. Love them high notes
Always touches the soul. Thank you and God bless 😎👍
AWESOME! Great song, and band. God is taking over metal! A 10 all day long!
I like Stryper killer vocals killer band great reaction T🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️☮️💯
Another obscure band from the 80's is called Jerusalem. Check out their album Warrior. I don't think anyone has reacted to them yet.
Stryper Still Killin It after 40 Years. Sweet Jesus
really loving the 3 new songs from the new album!they always deliver
Perry has been a great add to the band, and it’s awesome seeing Oz be able to play.
Glad you did a video on this one! Absolutely in my top 3 songs from their new album!😎
Yesss, another Stryper video! Personally I really like this song, can't wait for the new album!
Yes, I posted the same as you. They keep getting better with age!

Love Stryper
That sounds great I give this video a 10 + I love STRYPER
those lyrics hit home
Michael has always had a great sounding voice, he's right up there with some of the best metal singers there are.
Michael sound better now than he did 39 years ago. How is that possible?
Not that familiar with Stryper but when you start a song with an epic rock scream, you have my attention
🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
Not familiar with Stryper? You been living under a rock for 40 yrs? Lol 😂
I've been a hard core fan from their first album in 1984 and seen them live 19 times (the last 2 times this past July). Can't wait for this album to drop on Oct 21st.
Great vid, these guy's rock. Amazing live. I briefly knew one of the members and he was real cool down to earth guy. Thanks for playing them.
Always enjoy some Striper , Michael and Robert Sweet and Oz Fox get it done. Great reaction, awesome song.
10/10 show me a band that's been through all they've been through and can still rage like that.
Awesome song by an awesome group!
10 out of 10. I started listening to these guys right after I accepted Christ in 1985. Solid then, solid now.
Possibly the best thing Stryoer has ever done
Just awesome. 10 out of 10!! So great!
Michael Sweet, so underrated voices in rock.
Stryper does an excellent cover of Judas Preist's "Breaking the Law". Check it out.
This Song, From 0 to 10, it' 15!!!
And the Band is Better than EVER!!!!
They are Incredible!!! 💪🏽
Michael was a huge Juda Priest fan!!!
So good as usual new Stryper is as good as the classics from the 80s, heavy melodic and catchy
This song isn't good or great, it's epic. Even more impressive given how long they've been at it. Solid 10.
Glad you gave STYPER a chance
Love it 10 out of 10
Glad to see you feature Stryper. Love his music. Other reaction videos wont give christian rock metal music a chance. Keep up the good work. I am a subsciber now.
They are getting better each album
It’s great to hear lyrics while the jamming is still going on. Too many bands slow down or virtually halt the jam while the lead sings. Another good one by Stryper!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This might be their best song ever
Michael Sweet is still killing it! 🤘Hope you'll react to some Sweet/Lynch stuff one day 👍
