      After the lead singer of Boston committed suicide that they hired Michael Sweet to go and pay the singer for a few of their concerts and everybody who said they saw him Including Alice Cooper said they couldn't believe how much of a rain she was able to do his More Than A Feeling version of Boston song that his voice didn't go down is he with the concert went on and he said that unlike most singers who try to who try to fill those kind of songs where the voice register gets high in it's hard to reach as he did for the lead singer of Boston Michael Sweet was the only person that Alice Cooper had ever heard in concert who could hit the notes that the lead singer of Boston was able to hit and to go through the whole repertoire of of songs and the voice didn't Peter out as the concert went on. And Alice said as far as he was concerned he never he didn't know of any heavy metal singer who had the same range as Michael did or his ability to both play and to he said that that when he saw us Fox and Michael Sweet playing electric guitars off each other going between the Rhythm guitars and the lead guitars and switching back and forth as they did he said he was having trouble keeping up to who was doing which part of the song Because with most times when you have a a rhythm of good guitarist that's all he does is rhythm and then you have the other guy doing the lead or you have the other guy and then it sometimes goes back and forth but with them he said especially in most of their songs it was completely combined it and it just put back between the two so they could be playing a solo where the other one who begins a solo and then the other one but either finish it or sometimes they would they would change it up depending if they were in concert or something. Alice was very impressed. As was I hearing that.

    The look of pure enjoyment on her face as she listens to this, what might be considered Stryper's most bubble-gum pop songs, is so endearing. What makes Stryper so iconic is that they sang to only one audience, the Creator, and they brought everyone else along for the ride. They still tour today and their music is no less powerful than it was in the 80's.

      Reborn, Murder By Pride, No More Hell To Pay, Fallen, (May) God Damn Evil, Even The Devil Believes, and The Final Battle. All of these Albums capture that Classic Stryper Sound, and yet, they add to their musical repertoire.
      Personally, I can't believe just how well Michael Sweet's voice has held up over the past several years...or, should I say, over the past several decades! I'm just totally blown away by the fact, that he can still hit Super-High notes with relative ease, although he might not do that as much, nowadays. He's nearly 60 years old, so even he has the wisdom to be careful, as it concerns his voice. The last thing he'd need, is to do something foolish, vocally speaking, and end up blowing out his voice! He doesn't want that, and neither do we!

      Too many Christian rock bands coasted on their religious credentials. Ironically, if they really loved God, they should have strived for excellence to honor Him.

      Personally, though, I was glad to see Tim go. He was causing too many problems, according to Michael and Robert Sweet, and quite possibly Oz Fox. After Tim was ousted from Stryper, they picked up Perry Richardson, who was known for his tenure in the Band, Firehouse. According to Perry Richardson himself, he's apparently been a Christian for many years, and Stryper was absolutely thrilled to have him come into the Band. Perry Richardson is (As far as I'm concerned), the PERFECT addition to Stryper. He compliments them perfectly with his Bass playing, and with backing vocals.

The lyrics in many of their songs were very well crafted to be ambiguous: could be talking about God, could be talking about a good friend or girlfriend. But I always loved their tone and the harmonizing guitars.

    I've seen Stryper in concert and they are top shelf. Michael Sweet performed lead vocals, background vocals, and guitar work for Boston. Sweet was asked to be a part of what was supposed to be Boston's last performance in 2007.

    Beth, thank you so much for doing a Stryper song! They are incredible musicians and Michael's voice is still incredible after all these years. I would suggest "More Than a Man" or "Yahewh". Michael also did a collaboration song called "Son of Man" that is incredible.

    Love this band. Been a fan for well over 30 years.and just saw them 2 weeks ago and they still are killin it. I do know Michael Sweets secret for long period singing and thats... drinking a few sips of olive oil... yep. Saw him do it before a show and he explained it. But as a vocalist that can keep the same drive as he had 30 years ago if not better.

    Great video. I was a teen back in that era and saw them twice live back then. The singer is known to be a perfectionist. They were just as energetic and solid even LIVE back then. And stupidly LOUD, they didn't hold back. I don't recall ever hearing that Michael Sweet had vocal training. I could be wrong.

  • @jeremyb8333
    @jeremyb8333 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I had the privilege of working with Michael on an album my band recorded. He is one of the nicest and most down to earth guys ever. Ironically, Stryper redid this song and my band got to do the backing vocals on it. Such a good time!

  • @Pounce01

    Michael Sweet and I went to the same Vocal Coach- Elizabeth Sabine. She strengthened your Head Tone as a focus. Axl Rose of GNR and Jizzy Pearl of Love/Hate were students also 85-88 era. So she didn't just work the nice clean voice. Be Blessed

  • @konnan

    Your genuine smile and laugh at the beginning sums up Stryper: Wholesome catchy fun music by a band that is pure talent. Along with the vocal harmonies, the harmonized guitars are fantastic as well. As someone who grew up in the 80s the answer is yes they were as fun as it seems. Stryper is still making music; their new albums are fantastic as well

    My favorite band when I was a teenager…
    Brought two songs from Stryper for my 8th grade classical music teacher and the class to listen to. I chose The Abyss/To Hell With the Devil and Battle Hyme of the Republic for everyone to listen to. These guys blew my teacher away. At the time he said he only gave one guy a perfect 10 (as he points at Mozart’s picture hanging on the classroom wall) but he was so blown away by the power of Micheals Sweet’s voice that he decided to give those two songs a very very respectable 9.5!
    That was the 8th highlight that I’ll never forget! RIP Mr. B, you’ll never B forgotten…

    Great reaction and analysis, as always. I was into Stryper for a bit back in the '80s, but I haven't heard them in many years and I've only just noticed that their vocalist, Michael Sweet, sounds a lot like Dennis DeYoung, from Styx.

    I palpitated hearing you react to this (and even teared up a little bit). Growing up Christian (Catholic) AND into Heavy Metal can make one a pariah on both sides (too metal for the Christians and too Christian for the metal heads). Validation decades later and witnessing their success today is just fantastic!

    You’re the only vocal coach , may be a few others I haven’t seen , to analyze Stryper . So glad you did it ! Made me smile . I’m 52 going on 53 and they were some local guys that attended our local Churches that just brought light to the youth in this whole area and then beyond . I know most vocal coach analysis channels usually just pick the bands or singers that they get the most requests for , thus you don’t really see them on a lot channels with coaches analyzing Stryper . You can pick any Stryper song and you will always have the same outstanding dynamic of vocals throughout the band . A little insight . Michael I believe was vocal trained by Elizabeth Sabine , she was local and we all tried to get time in with her . She was amazing . These guys are just Rock solid. Their new stuff I’ll not disappoint. Just want to say thank you for doing this analysis and to see how they can make you smile and you’re day a little brighter , young people need that more than ever today !

    I was a huge striper fan when I was a teenager. Once more, I still have this record on vinyl. Lol. Today, Michael Sweet is one of the few vocalist from that era that hasn't lost his pipes. Thank you for the blast from the past. I really enjoyed it. You should check out some music by Petra during the John schlitt era. His vocals are absolutely amazing.

  • @T_Burd_75

    @JonathanHiller 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Michael Sweet is STILL an incredible singer, to this day. Are you familiar with the band "TNT"? If not, look up their song "Everyone's A Star".... I saw this Stryper tour... and TNT were the openers. Talk about an insane night of vocal prowess, it was just unbelievable. I spent more than half the night just picking my jaw up off the floor. Stryper had to be brave to follow Tony Harnell, singer for TNT, he's every bit as incredible as Michael Sweet. Back when musicianship and showmanship and vocal perfection mattered.

  • @BradMiller007
    @BradMiller007 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Check out the newest stuff from Stryper, namely “Transgressor”. He’s 60ish yrs old and still holding high notes for like 15 seconds, and before the guitar solo hitting a high note that transfers into the stratosphere, for his age and 40 yrs singing is 🤯

    Michael Sweet is an outstanding vocalist and front man,, and I’m a huge Stryper fan for 39 years. They certainly didn’t have autotune back in 1989. He did an amazing job on that album. Oz Fox is also, a really good singer as well.
