Michael sweet is one of the best voices in metal. Up there with Halford and Tate. Since he's a straight edge Christan and never messed up his body. He sounds just as good as he did 30 years ago.
The instrumentation is great. Michael Sweet apparently can't reach the falsetto in the "Calling On You" pre-chorus anymore (1:40). But the mix is pretty good, the drumming is excellent, and the lead guitar work is great for a live performance. Altogether a pretty solid performance for guys pushing sixty.
I remember a time when it was going to be either “Wanted Dead or Alive” or “Free” as number one on Dial MTV each day. That was cool! Dig both bands, but Stryper has aged better.
I saw this band in 1988 and they rocked incredibly. I saw them 30 years with my son and they sounded even better... this is one of the best underrated band simply because of what they stood for.. Michael Sweet is one of the best iconic rock vocalists and the harmonies are unbelievable live...
Love the Storytellers, this makes for great connection between musicians & audience, blows me away how good this sounds, as and I really love this feeling from the Love Shines throughout my life throughout the entire praises we sings to our Creator, each other, Love grows each day,,looked one Heart and soul forever together!!! ❤❤🥂🙏🌈 Love, Kathy....
Was lucky enough to catch these guys on their very first tour and I saw them every other time they came around. They still sound great and they bring back a lot of great memories
My absolutely favorite band is Motley Crue in 1983 as a kid... I found STRYPER in 1986 and they became my second favorite band equal to me as ying/yang, Crue and Stryper were that for me in the 80's. With Crue I could be myself and let it all out and Stryper was were I would draw the line holding me back from pure darkness.
I heard these guys for the first time back in the late '80's, I was stationed overseas while serving my country. My roommate had one of their CD's playing. I asked him what is the name of that band, they sound incredible. He said "Stryper", I've been a huge fan ever since .
In 1985 I was a 15 yr old brand new hair guitar player who was glued to Mtv. I was listening to Ozzy, Ratt, Dokken, White Snake, and all the other bands with killer guitar players and drummers. This song came on Mtv and I loved it instantly. The Jesus Rockers. Serious musicians. 30+ years later and I stil love Calling On You.
My favorite band in my teens. Had every cassette , even their Japanese only EP's (hard to get in the 80's-90's...no internet or Amazon lol) , Flawless guitar solo on Free, Just amazing
Saw these guys in FL on the To Hell With The Devil Tour. I can't remember the other bands. I know they weren't Christian that's for sure. I still have my little Bible Stryper threw out to us in the crowd. I was truly touched by their music although I did ride the fence for 37 more years before I recently came back to Christ. I'm now catching up with Michael's current music and reminiscing with old Stryper music.
My little brother use to listen to y'all in Alabama Center Point Bridewood my mom and dad had a neighbor at the time named Michael Sweet. The real Jesus is coming up.
What a cherished golden voice that has stood the Test of time from the yellow& black attack until now!!!!I can’t deny that Michael is so full of vibrancy and spirit!!!!!it would be nice for STRYPER to record another album in the same vein of against the law with a remake of a song like Earth wind & fires shining star!!!!!
I know Robert and Michaël where brothers from what i heard the band was first started as a secular band but wasn't getting anywhere until they started in Christian Genre. I remember they had their own helicopter at one time! Man they packed the stadiums in southern Cali! When i last heard Ozzfoxx Started promoting in secular sector but mainly became and instructor in bass guitar and vocal but that was just hearsay! You always hear thing that you don't know what is true or not ! but man after all these years they haven't lost it in music they sound Like they did back then ! Love it ! Its good to see them get back together for this now that i am in Spring hill this was during the pandemic no>?
Mi banda favorita de todos los tiempos! Los conocí cuando tenía 18 y ahora tengo 30. Los amo stryper, I love you guys so much, you guys are the best forever and ever!
Have you ever tried to sing "Free" all the way through? My voice collapsed about 20 seconds in even when I was in my 20's. This guy is still killing it wire to wire pushing 60.
Glad to see they're still doing it!!👍 And I remember dial-up MTV !that's a great story! and is that Michael's brother on drums? this is rocking good!! Who the Son sets free is free indeed! ☝️✨✨✨✨✨🎸🐦
Check out the Michael Sweet album - One Sided War - absolutely incredible!! It could have been a Stryper album, but EVERY song is worthy of repeat listenings!
Well alot of strypers songs blow 🍃🌬️ away bands like the turtles the dolphins the Beatles,Led Zeppelin the Rolling stones ,woops ,there ain't no band named the Dolphins chargers? 🐬 My mistake 😸🤣 🥰 😛 but since Stryper has the name 📛 of Jesus Christ backing them up on vocals than mainstream media will not 🚭 vote for them as a better band than all those other Beatles Led Zeppelin Rolling Stone 🪨 wannabees😛🤔👍🦜 still can't fly 💸 like a Dragonfly 🐲! On a guitar 🎸! Peace ✌️ 🕊️ out !

Yup!
Still sounds as good as it did 35 years ago
Seriously??

I remember this band when I was heaps young about 8yrs old and I’m 42 now so good that they have stood strong for Jesus all these years 😁
I love Strypers music, and I'm sharing Strypers music with a new christian, to help him out with a positive reinforcement for him to live for Jesus!!

Nothing like using Jesus as an excuse to be a rock star.
Difference between Motley Crue and Stryper is that Michael Sweet can still sing....Vince, not so much anymore...
Religious hardly HARD ROCK music!!
