I love the that most of the GMA audience could not relate to this music at all but still gave a standing ovation to this group out there proclaiming Jesus to the world.
This was the first time I ever saw Stryper when I was watching the 1986 Dove Awards. I was familiar with them before, but as soon as I saw this, I became an instant fan!
Stryper broke down so many barriers with their music and message. I have been a fan for over 25 years and I watched that performance the night it aired. I was 13 years old. Stryper is still rockin' and better than ever! Jesus, King, King of kings! Yes he is! I love Stryper!!!!
I went to their "No More Hell to Pay" show in Battle Creek Michigan 2016 and the 30th Anniversary of, "To Hell With the Devil" show!Caught a pick from Oz! Bought a pair of drum sticks with the 30th Anniversary on them and two tshirts!My favorite band of all time!
Crowd wasn't very accepting of Stryper when they came out,but they rocked out anyway..Should've played it live to really show these stiffs how good they are
They returned in 2005 with Reborn, which was a whole new sound for them, but their original style is very easily heard in their 2009 release, Murder by Pride, and the new album, No More Hell to Pay, is a return to form, albeit much heavier than before.
I wore out our VHS tape of this!!!! Seriously, I remember it just like it was on tv yesterday. I was 11 years old and completely into Stryper. Saw them live and my brother caught a bible from Oz Fox! Thanks for posting
This performance was the first time I heard Christian rock and I was so relieved that God had my kind of music. I still love this song.Seen Stryper twice they were great!
OMG I never had this on my two hour tv compilation. WOW..thanks for posting. One of the best things I have on video is from 1985/86 and it is like an out door festival and they are playing Reason For The Season and Robert is talking about the miracle of the bumble bee.
Me remember seeing this on television---Live as it happened. There was a great shock and awe! Like the audience was me mean ...Shocked. But the crowd ending up liking Them:)
SO PROUD TO CALL THEM MY FRIEDS SINCE 1988....I AM STILL THE PRESiDENT OF THE STRYPER FAN CLUBE PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER......mAKES ME SICK....SICK TO KNOW THEY ARE SHARING THEIR TALENT TO PEOPLE..SO-CALLED CHRSITIANS WHO HATE THEM HERE AT THIS AWARD SHOW...BTW....THEY PUT OUT THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2020 YESTERDAY...SUPPORT STRYPER AND BUY IT....I KNOW IT IS BAD ...ECOOMY WITH THE PANDEMIC BUT THIS WILL HELP YOU...BELEIVE ME. STRYPER RULES
They mainly do that for filming. It's really hard to sync television and live music (light is faster than sound LOL), but you can see they are playing the right notes, and Robert is obviously beating the crap out of his drums. I think just about every show from Top Of The Pops in the UK, to American Bandstand in the US all the artist lip synced. Though it should be noted that most singers sing very lightly in these types of performances (and videos).
No Pat, nobody was talking about the "Rolling Stones" in the 1980's! Not any teenagers anyway. Wow, how embarrassing for him to say that. I don't remember this but its not surprising to see them lip-syncing. That's just the way most shows were done back then but it was fun to see. Thanks for sharing. Stryper rules!!!
JESUS KING OF KINGS MAKE ME WANT TO SING JESUS ROCKS AND GIVES YOU SAVATION, HE SHED BLOOD FOR YOUR SINS AND TOOK STRIPES FOR YOUR HEALING ISAIAH 53:5 STRYPER ROCKS FOR JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SAVOIR 777
Umm... yeah, people were talking about the Rolling Stones in the 80's. They had one of their biggest albums ever in Tattoo You, and had a huge moneymaking tour as well.
Definitely not a "live" performance.... Where is the other lead guitar that you hear? That said, I'd go see Stryper anytime, anywhere even if they lip-synched the whole night...been a fan since 1987 !
This was a very common practice for TV in the 80's. Some artists would take the piss out of it during the performance by making it very obvious they're not really performing.
Ya, that was definitely a lip synced performance. I've see Styper perform live enough times to know the difference. They are great live, don't get me wrong, but it's a different "great" sound than their studio sound. And that performance was a their studio track. It was flawless.
You know, they had had to eat alot of shit, but they still kicking, an they are 1 of the best 2 guitar harmony bands,, am they, really made me want to play 4 Jesus too, i always had him in my heart, but metal is so full of demonic shit,, ,,,they rock!
Great lip sync performance. Betting that the audience didn't know what to think since back in the day nobody from the Christian music scene played that way.
I love the that most of the GMA audience could not relate to this music at all but still gave a standing ovation to this group out there proclaiming Jesus to the world.
Tim Gaines, Oz Fox, Rob and Mike Sweet.. Have never ever forgottn those dudes names
I know this video is rather old, but it never ceases to give me goose bumps every time I see it. The standing ovation here was awesome!
YES! I'm just seeing this and I felt the same way!
Me, too 👍
Stryper hasn't given up still putting out great albums. Love that they did a great Milli Vanilli impersonation LOL!!!😂

Stryper rocks - and they deliver the message of hope too, so that’s a +!
:€)
Saw them in Greensboro in 1986. Fantastic show. The old folks in church were horrified but all us teenagers couldn’t get enough

I saw them in 1985 and 86 at a high school auditorium Imi. Portland. Bloodgood and Saint opened ..good times..lol
Jesus! KING OF KINGS!!!
I've listened to this song for more than 15 years, they are just the best
i've heard this song hundreds of times, and that chorus still gives me goosebumps.

excelente banda la escucho desde niño hasta ahora
This was the first time I'd ever heard them--I was 14--even though they lip synched, it was freakin' awesome...
I wore out our VHS tape of this!!!! Seriously, I remember it just like it was on tv yesterday. I was 11 years old and completely into Stryper. Saw them live and my brother caught a bible from Oz Fox! Thanks for posting
STRYPER RULES !!! 👍🏻🪙👍🏻
So, Awesome. Feel the same way now as I felt when I was 17 anytime I hear Stryper. Please keep posting stuff for us!!!!
If I ever pastor a church...Stryper is gonna be my praise band!!! I absolutely love these guys!!! And they are stronger than ever!!!
I discovered Stryper because of that performance!
Epic moment!

Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins
This performance was the first time I heard Christian rock and I was so relieved that God had my kind of music. I still love this song.Seen Stryper twice they were great!

i give credit to larry norman, petra, styper, tourniquet and mortification for paving the way for christian rock/metal.
Also Bloodgood. 🤘
Oh mannnnn!! Cooolll! REALLY wish I could have seen this tour. VERY jealous of my little brother for seeing them and me not! :) lol!
Well-said, Mr. Boone. Well-said.
That was just way to cool!!!!

That ending high note is spectacular
Goood!! Its blesed!
YES!!!!
1986: Creo que ustedes aún no están listos para esto, pero a sus hijos les fascinará 😅
Great Band "Calling on you" The perfect riff
They mainly do that for filming.

I miss Stryper
they have a new album check them out...
Nothing like performing to a track Dove awards
Didn't know they were ever on the dove awards.

Yup.
best lip-sync of all time. Thx Stryper!

Love this performance.....not a one head moving......LOLOL
One of the few reasons why I wish I was born 20 years earlier... to see this in person.
Girlie boys
What a great concept they had...to bad they let fall apart. I thought they were great. :-)
they are back...
That audience was non-existent....lol! \m/
Are they lip-syncing? It sounds like my tape did back in the day... 😉
Yes, clearly.
Who is the guy that is with the lady presenting??
+Elias Dominguez Pat Boone
+OFFICIAL STRYPER FAN TH-cam CHANNEL thx, i had seem him before but I had forgot his name
Definitely not a "live" performance.... Where is the other lead guitar that you hear? That said, I'd go see Stryper anytime, anywhere even if they lip-synched the whole night...been a fan since 1987 !
In Michael's book, he mentioned this and was told they weren't playing live but to a recording. He hated it..
+David Clark I was thinking that myself. Because the audio sounded like it was at the bottom of a well, or an empty oil tank at an oil refinery.
I give Oz credit for being into it so much...I didn't realize that it wasn't live until you mentioned it. Bummer!
A third guitar. Hmmmmm. Interesting.
This was a very common practice for TV in the 80's. Some artists would take the piss out of it during the performance by making it very obvious they're not really performing.
Styrper is No.1 christian rock band in the world.
The answer, Pat Boone, would be the Rolling Stones.
Alto playback👍
Yes Michael hated using audio tracks because it cheapened the live experience plus it made the band so d like a garage band.
yay, it's the 1 of the 1st times the Jesus song is played! :) (that's how I think of it & what I call it!) :)
Ya, that was definitely a lip synced performance. I've see Styper perform live enough times to know the difference. They are great live, don't get me wrong, but it's a different "great" sound than their studio sound. And that performance was a their studio track. It was flawless.
that is an awful lot of hitting the drums for just lipping the song
Twisted Sister Christian version 😆
You know, they had had to eat alot of shit, but they still kicking, an they are 1 of the best 2 guitar harmony bands,, am they, really made me want to play 4 Jesus too, i always had him in my heart, but metal is so full of demonic shit,, ,,,they rock!
Great lip sync performance. Betting that the audience didn't know what to think since back in the day nobody from the Christian music scene played that way.
Dove awards make me wanna puke!
What a LAME crowd
so true!! I would have been jumping screaming the lyrics LOL. "JEEESUUUS!!!!"
I hate to break it to you all, but the band is lip-syncing this performance.
lip sync hell no
Lip-synching sucks . . . no matter who does it.
Beyond horrible!
DakotaBeerDrinker74 Lip synched to the core, and more!
they had no choice...they we tent given sm option
