The interview was held at Azusa University, in Azusa, CA back in 2001. How do I know? Well, I was one of the few who actually got a pass by the guy who filmed this video, to go inside and join them as they interviewed the guys!! I have pictures with the guys inside the dressing room! Great time!! Privileged to have been a part of this event!
Stryper puts on a great show.Years ago I was fortunate to see them as an opening act , and as a headliner.Soldiers under Command was and still is one of their best albums.
This is by far the most inspirational video I've ever seen!! Right you were Robert, looking back now! Everyone has a right to "be" and I've been through some of the stuff I've heard them talk about. I had a dream of playing in a band with my two brothers. It happened, started with God and ended somewhere in horror - street. Reunion pending (2017) The people in Stryper are real. The emotions are real. The challenges are real. Christianity is not about not ever having challenges in your life, it is about how you overcome. Thank you Robert for being real and genuine!
Well, sounds (No More Hell To Pay) like God wanted it to happen again. I hope they continue to be blessed, to bless others and be used by God. I've been blessed by enjoying the music.
These guys won a lot if kids to the Lord in the 1980's. Their reward in heaven will be great. Thank you Jesus for Stryper. What a gift from God they are. Love you guys!
I remember staying up late on Friday nights to see a Stryper video on this show called Real Videos on TBN. I would watch weekends after weekends hoping the video would be on but it was rare. But still when I finally saw the video, I was so happy. At the time the only Stryper video out was "You know what to do".
Stryper is a people that God wants to use and has used in a mighty way. God's children live by faith these men are men of faith. Remember without faith it is impossible to please God these men live by faith. I thank God for this band because they have touched my life and many other people for the Lord.
The Second Stryper Expo was a lot of fun. You had Priesthood, Joshua, Oil and Ultimatum on the outside stage, and East-West, Disciple, Micheal Sweet, Sin Dizzy and Stryper on the inside stage.
Stryper has always impressed me with their sincerity. I like the fact that here they are willing to expose their scars and the fact that they still know God has a plan for them. Not to mention, they make great music. There is room in metal for all genres. We should embrace that.
I discover Stryper when I was about 12 13 years old and I'm still a fan to this day I'm so happy that they got back together Tim and then longer in here in the band this is an old documentary so that they get back together
Wow Rob....awesome words "if you can influence people to come to Jesus and you don't do it, it's criminal..." The whole band rocks (literally and figuratively lol)!
I've been a Stryper fan since they hit the music scene. In fact, I was in a Christian band back in the 80's and covered their music as well as others (Bloodgood, Barren Cross, White Cross, Sacred Warrior, Bride). Raleigh Rob: All of this being said, 'No More Hell To Pay' is my favorite. Hands down. Like you, I am blessed by all of their music.
I have followed STRYPER since the beginning. Those days were great when they were it for Christian Music and Rock n Roll.The new album "No More Hell To Pay" is so good, i am blown away by the quality and musicianship. It is the best hard rock /metal album i have heard in years.
It has happened in stages, & I think Michaels' words ring true here. Oz is spot on as well, (not saying Rob or Tim are in any way "wrong" or less important than Michael & Oz, they all have been through the ringer), by waiting, they do have renewed strength, they have flown as eagles, God's Hands are in it, with a cover album that showed off just how incredibly musically gifted Stryper truly is. 'No More Hell To Pay' is in mine, and many experts opinions, far and away the bands BEST EVER ALBUM, a great 'live' album followed, & they are now snowed in, recording what may be Strypers' most important, most pivotal recording to date. I could not be happier for anyone in the music industry. Here's to an album that equals or possibly even surpasses 'NMHTP', if anybody in music is capable of doing it, it's this quartet! Kids are digging the music, the fan base is expanding, and soldiers all over the globe are eagerly anticipating these guys touring the world once again.
I am so glad the dream came true and Stryper REALLY got together again after this reunion in Terms of making new multiple Albums.Still so much fruit on the tree as Rob was saying.I love the later Albums with their awesome artwork though have yet to hear all of GDE and ETDB.I must buy them soon .I hear there's yet another on the way.I only wish other 80s hair metal Christian bands would take a leaf from Stryper's book (adventure log) and do the same.Return and record new Hard Rock and Metal Albums.I don't understand why they don't.Be creative for the Lord with your tremendous talents.I especially wish Ransom would come back.
2:40 Amen, Robert! He always knows what to say in interviews, so does Mike. I've been a fan of these guys for a year an five days and it's been a blast! #Rocking4TheOneWhoIsTheRock
I will always be a fan of STRYPER ... they are the first Christian ROCK band I had ever heard and look at how their music influenced so many other bands to use their GOD given talent to spread the word to so many people who don’t even realize that the word of god is the message 🌈
still got all my brothers stryper poster and memorabilia from the early mid 80s he was a huge fan he is a pastor now and was gonna throw them away i was like hell no! me i am a reformed christian i believe in science but nothing wrong with people believing in a higher power but strtpers music is the shit
Stryper rock pure and simple,whether your a christian or not,or believe in god,the fact of the matter is these guys are so talented,and make awesome music,just listen to the vocals,and the harmonies pure class!!
And like Lazarus they rose, came forward and are BETTER THAN EVER!! Even the devil believes Stryper new album Sept 4, 2020 gets your preordered today!!
I had tickets to see Stryper at the Marquee, London, here in England back 1991. They cancelled because Tim Gaines (I think) was ill. I was gutted. Fast forward 30+ and I still haven't seen the band live. It's still on my "to do" list.
Been listening for a long time kick ass band I listen to all metal and my friends have me shit for listening to them don't care they rock with the best of them !!!!!!!
Seeing them sitting on the stage talking about how they’re going their own ways and no more Stryper...seems that He had other plans in mind for them. Even The Devil Believes is a KILLER album and you’d never believe it came out in 2020.
Everything anything has a season robert u and I might want the band bk and all fans do too but unless god 🙏 has want y'all bk together god has want that call Micheal and boys to come BK they probably don't feel it's right come BK unless god tells them too do so I remember u guys concert I was so young I 5 years old never stopped listen y'all 80 to 84 songs I still today I'm 34 now still liistn y'all music bk when first was start going so good we y'all was young I still keep y'all music fresh and new and alive in my heart like I do w jesus my Lord saver I'm a believer in Christ he a awesome yes he is robert u are amazing just leave it to God hands pray bout it 🙏 Micheal god loves u too yr voice and y'all music ministers to me and moves me I still listen to y'all song today you guys been through a lot and I know what happened was bad but you went you got out of it and you went through it and you're all you guys are good today you guys made through it God helped you through it I'm glad you all doing good Michael I love your voice it I just like be happy every time I hear it I just get all excited and happy because it's so annoying and adminster to me I've listened to you for a long time and now I'm 34 years old I was three to five years old when I first listen to you all I seen y'all on TV and I just jumped for joy if it wasn't for my brother his name is Robert clyburn and my sister Renee I would never knew who you guys were I'm glad y'all doing well God has really touched y'all's lives and I'm glad you all are doing good keep the faith
Stryper has been a legit Christian rock band since the 80s. Came around with the hair bands of the 80s. They're some of the best musicians I've heard in hard rock/metal. They just don't get the same attention because they are Christian.
Music is a personal preference. A generational issue and not a Biblical issue. Judge it by its content not by the style or beat. Because beat has nothing to do with God. ... SO LET'S ROCK FOR GOD'S GLORY... STRYPER, YOU'RE GOD'S SERVANT ROCKER! SPREAD HIS LOVE THROUGH ROCK N' ROLL!
interesting though....of all the secular bands that they have opened for, and have played with i have yet heard them say they have lead an artist to Christ...they say "we are not a christian band, we are a band who are christians.... How can you seperate the two?
I find it SO ironic that Robert is all over this thing saying the time was right for a reunion and he was ready etc.... Then a couple years later when they DID reunite, according to Michael, Robert was so ill prepared (didn't learn the songs or even set up his kit) that they had to use a different drummer on Reborn! wish I could ask Robert why he wasn't prepared!!!
Actually, it was "Murder by Pride" that Robert didn't play drums on. So far though, since that album, he's on point for preparedness on album recording sessions.
Michael was on Chris Jericho's podcast a few weeks ago and said Robert used to be really involved with the band and came up with all the album titles and now he doesn't help write lyrics or get involved with anything. Robert seems like a weird guy
dude I got to see him three times in the 80s I got to see him with TNT once I got to see him with loudness once and I got to see him with hurricane onceand they always left all the other bands in the dust but hurricane was a very good band just in case you don't know it is to lead singer who sings her for now Kelly Hansen from hurricane is Foreigner lead singer now the classic rock band Foreigner and he sounds just like Lou grammhurricane where a great band loudness was a great band TNT was a great man but stryper what is the headliner for a reason man did they put on a great show especially on the to hell with the devil tour🤘
Many of you that make these evil comments on this band and many others, must have a really horrible life. Try as you may to turn it around and at least criticize what is evil. The Bible will turn you in a better direction.
first time? lets see. I think it was around 1987 in Middle school. guys would wear iron maiden shirts, slayer megadeth, motley crue shirts and I had the to hell with the devil tour shirt.. I was heavily into Iron Maiden and Wasp...also loved dokken, Cinderella, great white tesla, dangerous toys, savatage too many bands,,tooo many.. gosh those were terrible times if u know what I mean :-) you know what I graduated from high school Lol!!!!
This is a great interview. Although Michael is wrong, it had been done before. They were not the first Christian hard rock or heavy metal band although they certainly broke down barriers. I love Stryper, they just weren't the first.
Michael never said the band was, nor did he claim that Stryper "created Christian heavy metal." He was implying that Christian metal wasn't a trending thing until Stryper came along.
Barnabas, Resurrection Band, Saint. are just a few that were also paving the way for Christian hard music. Stryper may have been the first to sign with a secular label and certainly was the first to get the amount of notoriety in the main stream music world. BTW this is not Richard Fish. I'm just using his computer.
Why did this video only show the mentally challenged fans. Makes it appear as if Stryper fans are freaks. I was surprised to see someone actually credited themselves as the "director" of this video. It was pretty bad. Love Stryper though.
And now Michael Sweet claims that Stryper is "not a Christian Rock band" and that he doesn't know where anyone ever got the idea that it was. I guess Michael is trying to re-write history...
I so respect Stryper as musicians. They are a very talented band, still after all these years. But they are so lost, still after all these years... Please guys, search the scriptures. Seek Jesus Christ in his word, and be saved. Time is running out. Jesus Christ is not part of a trinity. He is the living God, manifest in the flesh to save sinners. There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 8:6). Trinity is a Catholic doctrine, not a Christian one. It is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. There is no such thing as "accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour". No one ever got saved from their sins by doing that. The way of salvation, preached by the apostles of Christ is this: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 Jesus said, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5
+TheWordprophet Stryper is right on!!! What about the thief on the cross? He didn't come off the cross and get baptized (immersed) with water...yet Jesus said today you be with me in paradise...there are four (4) baptisms...body when you're born again, Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, baptism in water (immersion, not sprinkled like a baby dedication) and by fire as the Spirit wills.

+Roger Jones Dear Roger, With all due respect, and in love... The thief on the cross was a Jewish man who was crucified for thievery during the time of the old testament. He was saved like all other Jews who believed on their Messiah during that time. He repented and believed on his Messiah. In the chronicles of the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there was no new testament, and there were no Christians. No Gentiles were ever told that they were saved. Jesus Christ came as a minister of the circumcision, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers (Romans 15:8). He said himself, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24) The new testament began 50 days after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts chapter 2), and from that day and forward, his chosen apostles preached the gospel of the new testament to all men, both Jews and Gentiles. We are commanded to repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That is how to be saved and become a Christian, according to the Bible. Also, the Bible says that in the church of Jesus Christ, there is one baptism, not four. (Ephesians 4:5) I am a Christian, and I here to help you if you desire to learn of the doctrine of Jesus Christ and be saved. ~Clinton
Awesome men of God!! Praise Jesus 🙌🙏✝️ 777 Stryper rocks for God!!
Stryper is the only Christian band that is legendary. Michael sweet one of the best voices in rock music, killer riffs, guitar solos, drumming, etc.
ivanthelovehammer Just want to know which city was that..?
Single best band to ever rock the globe, possessing the very best drummer, at least in my view, from that decade/genre!!!
@@涸辙之鲋 Azusa at Azusa Pacific University.
I'm not christian but but the melody harmony and song arrangements that Stryper has come up with are truly astounding!
The interview was held at Azusa University, in Azusa, CA back in 2001. How do I know? Well, I was one of the few who actually got a pass by the guy who filmed this video, to go inside and join them as they interviewed the guys!! I have pictures with the guys inside the dressing room!

Azusa Pacific University. Was an awesome time.
Stryper puts on a great show.Years ago I was fortunate to see them as an opening act , and as a headliner.Soldiers under Command was and still is one of their best albums.
Check out their new album! Sounds great as ever!
This is by far the most inspirational video I've ever seen!! Right you were Robert, looking back now! Everyone has a right to "be" and I've been through some of the stuff I've heard them talk about.

Seems like Robert has a better handle on the band than Michael did. Im happy they all came back and are still killing it in 2024
The Second Stryper Expo was a lot of fun. You had Priesthood, Joshua, Oil and Ultimatum on the outside stage, and East-West, Disciple, Micheal Sweet, Sin Dizzy and Stryper on the inside stage.
Good times.
I want of the best heavy metal bands of the world Stryper Christian rock and roll praising God with heavy metal is beautiful God loves you
Stryper has always impressed me with their sincerity. I like the fact that here they are willing to expose their scars and the fact that they still know God has a plan for them. Not to mention, they make great music. There is room in metal for all genres. We should embrace that.

STRYPER=GREAT GUYS,GREAT PLAYERS WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS-THE REAL DEAL...
Amen loved me some stryper growing up
I've been a Stryper fan since they hit the music scene. In fact, I was in a Christian band back in the 80's and covered their music as well as others (Bloodgood, Barren Cross, White Cross, Sacred Warrior, Bride).

Don't see forget Petra!
Just love'em since I was 13 yrs old.!!
4 of the most under rated musicians in rock/metal.
I have followed STRYPER since the beginning. Those days were great when they were it for Christian Music and Rock n Roll.The new album "No More Hell To Pay" is so good, i am blown away by the quality and musicianship. It is the best hard rock /metal album i have heard in years.
My favorite STRYPER, GOD BLESS
robert sweet never gave up hope.
He never gave up look the band is back together
Love this band , they rock hard and always thought they sing empathy and real wholsome christian rock .
I discovered Stryper at the age 11 12 13 they changed my life forever
Appreciate the reaction to a great band. Their catalog is strong, and their last six or so albums are as good as any of their early stuff.
One of my favorite bands ever!! Bring it back god bless
Great documentary. Thanks for posting!

I love this video bro and Stryper. I subscribed to your channel.
I am so glad the dream came true and Stryper REALLY got together again after this reunion in Terms of making new multiple Albums.Still so much fruit on the tree as Rob was saying.I love the later Albums with their awesome artwork though have yet to hear all of GDE and ETDB.I must buy them soon .I hear there's yet another on the way.I only wish other 80s hair metal Christian bands would take a leaf from Stryper's book (adventure log) and do the same.Return and record new Hard Rock and Metal Albums.I don't understand why they don't.Be creative for the Lord with your tremendous talents.I especially wish Ransom would come back.

I am MORE than glad that the Lord put these cats back 2gether!
Thank GOD Stryper did get back together!!..The last 3 albums have been awesome!!😇👍
Against the law is definitely my favorite of all their records!
I will always be a fan of STRYPER ... they are the first Christian ROCK band I had ever heard and look at how their music influenced so many other bands to use their GOD given talent to spread the word to so many people who don’t even realize that the word of god is the message 🌈
still got all my brothers stryper poster and memorabilia from the early mid 80s he was a huge fan he is a pastor now and was gonna throw them away i was like hell no! me i am a reformed christian i believe in science but nothing wrong with people believing in a higher power but strtpers music is the shit
Stryper is One of the Greatest bands in Rock 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Dang!
I love this band...been a fan since Yellow and Black Attack.
Some good friends caught on tape here. Good to see and remember.
speachless, stryper is part of my life!!!
Stryper rock pure and simple,whether your a christian or not,or believe in god,the fact of the matter is these guys are so talented,and make awesome music,just listen to the vocals,and the harmonies pure class!!
God bless Stryper!
And like Lazarus they rose, came forward and are BETTER THAN EVER!! Even the devil believes Stryper new album Sept 4, 2020 gets your preordered today!!
I had tickets to see Stryper at the Marquee, London, here in England back 1991. They cancelled because Tim Gaines (I think) was ill. I was gutted. Fast forward 30+ and I still haven't seen the band live. It's still on my "to do" list.
I discovered STRYPER in '85, and have been a "soldier under command" ever since.
1:30 stryper is gonna be so awesome man but I'm wearing a megadeth t-shirt
I love them so much
Best christian band.
Some of the best guitar playing in rock!!
Resurrection band (Rez Band) were doing Christian influenced metal way before Stryper.

2001....... the year when Earth face change définitly
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT AMERICA 4 EVER
I actually remember the 2twins from the Magic Mountain show they mentioned.. wow
Stryper needs to come back praying they will
Theyve been back since 2004. Lol. This is old. They've released 8 albums since this video plus several live dvds.
WHY would STRYPER have a Rap group, Christian or not, at STRYPER EXPO?? 99% of your crowd is METAL fans! Weird.
Those were the times. Look at anthrax. they did some collabs with rap
That was a matter of the promoter choosing the acts.
long live stryper!
interesting though....of all the secular bands that they have opened for, and have played with i have yet heard them say they have lead an artist to Christ...they say "we are not a christian band, we are a band who are christians.... How can you seperate the two?
Christian or not,.These boys are some BADAZZ musicians!
Let it be, spirit in the sky dust in the wind and Creed are the top 40 mainstream
I find it SO ironic that Robert is all over this thing saying the time was right for a reunion and he was ready etc.... Then a couple years later when they DID reunite, according to Michael, Robert was so ill prepared (didn't learn the songs or even set up his kit) that they had to use a different drummer on Reborn! wish I could ask Robert why he wasn't prepared!!!

dude I got to see him three times in the 80s I got to see him with TNT once I got to see him with loudness once and I got to see him with hurricane onceand they always left all the other bands in the dust but hurricane was a very good band just in case you don't know it is to lead singer who sings her for now Kelly Hansen from hurricane is Foreigner lead singer now the classic rock band Foreigner and he sounds just like Lou grammhurricane where a great band loudness was a great band TNT was a great man but stryper what is the headliner for a reason man did they put on a great show especially on the to hell with the devil tour🤘
hummm Kick a&* then " the lord reigns. . why wasnt that edited out?
Whoa what the heck I swear I see pictures of young Michael sweet n he looks just like Elvis
Great band
I have all of Priesthood cds
I stopped punching random strangers on the street after hearing Stryper.
me too!
I to talk to you about that.... It hurts when you do that....
Glory to God for the change !!!
Whtas the year?
Thanks!
Many of you that make these evil comments on this band and many others, must have a really horrible life. Try as you may to turn it around and at least criticize what is evil. The Bible will turn you in a better direction.
first time? lets see. I think it was around 1987 in Middle school. guys would wear iron maiden shirts, slayer megadeth, motley crue shirts and I had the to hell with the devil tour shirt.. I was heavily into Iron Maiden and Wasp...also loved dokken, Cinderella, great white tesla, dangerous toys, savatage too many bands,,tooo many.. gosh those were terrible times if u know what I mean :-) you know what I graduated from high school Lol!!!!
What year was this actually filmed???
When was this filmed? They've been active for a while now, so this kind of confuses me.
Probably a VHS from the Stryper Expo in 2000, 2011. Not sure.
This is a great interview. Although Michael is wrong, it had been done before. They were not the first Christian hard rock or heavy metal band although they certainly broke down barriers. I love Stryper, they just weren't the first.
+Jonathan Kohns Petra were first.
+Russell Lamberg I Have the first Petra albums. I wouldn't call them hard. IMO Resurrection Band paved the way for heavy Christian music.
Michael never said the band was, nor did he claim that Stryper "created Christian heavy metal." He was implying that Christian metal wasn't a trending thing until Stryper came along.
Barnabas, Resurrection Band, Saint. are just a few that were also paving the way for Christian hard music. Stryper may have been the first to sign with a secular label and certainly was the first to get the amount of notoriety in the main stream music world. BTW this is not Richard Fish. I'm just using his computer.
1:06 vince neil from motley crue
wow never thought that Oz would actually Drink and cus before? but that was during the days they were broken up
no..he was drinking when on tour he has admitted that
Is Robert crazy? I love Stryper, but he said some things that sound very kooky.
like what? bring sued for 975000 and asking God for help? yeah wierd
Why did this video only show the mentally challenged fans. Makes it appear as if Stryper fans are freaks.
I was surprised to see someone actually credited themselves as the "director" of this video. It was pretty bad.
Love Stryper though.

And now Michael Sweet claims that Stryper is "not a Christian Rock band" and that he doesn't know where anyone ever got the idea that it was. I guess Michael is trying to re-write history...
Stryper seem to have a lot of really weirdo fans...lol

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put Stryper first and puppet show last...... My God was this beyond cringeworthy

2:13 wtf is that thing?
You make fun of handicapped people at your age?
I so respect Stryper as musicians. They are a very talented band, still after all these years.
But they are so lost, still after all these years...
Please guys, search the scriptures.
Seek Jesus Christ in his word, and be saved.
Time is running out.
Jesus Christ is not part of a trinity.
He is the living God, manifest in the flesh to save sinners.
There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 8:6).
Trinity is a Catholic doctrine, not a Christian one.
It is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
There is no such thing as "accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour". No one ever got saved from their sins by doing that.
The way of salvation, preached by the apostles of Christ is this:
"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38
Jesus said,
"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
John 3:5
+TheWordprophet Stryper is right on!!! What about the thief on the cross? He didn't come off the cross and get baptized (immersed) with water...yet Jesus said today you be with me in paradise...there are four (4) baptisms...body when you're born again, Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, baptism in water (immersion, not sprinkled like a baby dedication) and by fire as the Spirit wills.

Dear Roger,
With all due respect, and in love...
The thief on the cross was a Jewish man who was crucified for thievery during the time of the old testament.
He was saved like all other Jews who believed on their Messiah during that time. He repented and believed on his Messiah.
In the chronicles of the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there was no new testament, and there were no Christians. No Gentiles were ever told that they were saved. Jesus Christ came as a minister of the circumcision, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers (Romans 15:8). He said himself, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)
The new testament began 50 days after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts chapter 2), and from that day and forward, his chosen apostles preached the gospel of the new testament to all men, both Jews and Gentiles.
We are commanded to repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
That is how to be saved and become a Christian, according to the Bible.
Also, the Bible says that in the church of Jesus Christ, there is one baptism, not four.
(Ephesians 4:5)
I am a Christian, and I here to help you if you desire to learn of the doctrine of Jesus Christ and be saved.
