Specially since Perry Richardson (Previous Firehouse Bassist) joined the line up :) Great stuff Kel and Rich ...

    Yes! When my parents cut me off from my Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest and Ozzy... because it was "satanic music," I had to find something that would appeal to me, while not piissing my parents off...I stumbled across this very song. I bought the album that day... and rocked out. And, yes...I DID point out all of the Christian lyrics to them... of course.
    Seriously, though... the absolute loudest concert I ever attended... Stryper, in Amarillo, Texas. My ears were still ringing, the next morning.

    Probably one of the most talented metal bands of all time. A shame that they don’t get the credit they deserve simply because they choose to stand up and and speak what they believe in their music. I think its awesome that you don’t skip over bands just because of their lyrical content. Rich, you’ve been a fan of Kansas for years. Their lead singer for the song Play the Game Tonight which you had Kel react to is John Elefante. I’d urge you to check out a solo hard rock song him. So please check out any of these: #JohnElefante Hello My Good Friend #JohnElefante Slay Your Demons #JohnElefante One Day Down By the Lake #JohnElefante The Truth, The Life Plainfield,IL

    Stryper is a very underrated band. They get a ton of flak for their lyrical message (it CAN be a bit preachy) without actually listening to the musical content. It rocks so hard and you don't have to be religious to appreciate them. As a musician myself, they're all killer and no filler. The guitar work is super awesome, Robert Sweet is a BEAST on the kit (he's still one of my heroes as a drummer), Tim Gaines rips that bass and Michael Sweet still has those awesome pipes. When I first discovered them 36 years ago, they blew my mind.

    I still remember seeing them on this tour at six flags magic mountain when I was a teenager. I was a pretty big fan back then. This was my favorite striper album. In fact, I still have a white vinyl copy in my collection. I also have an original copy of to hell with the devil on vinyl with the original cover that later got banned.
    Interestingly enough, they are still around and writing new music. I've heard a few things they've done over the last couple of years. Michael Sweet still hasn't lost his pipes.
    It sounds like we have much in common. I grew up playing several instruments but, as a teenager I focused on guitar. Later, I played in my high school jazz band. Still, my true love was hard rock and heavy metal.
    Like you, I am also a competitive grappler. I've been on a wrestling mat since I was 7 years old and I have cross-trained in several disciplines. After high school, I wrestled NCAA division 1 for 4 years and finished with a record of 118-3. After completing my undergrad, I went on to do my graduate work and received my Masters of science in sports medicine administration and my doctorate in exercise physiology with an emphasis on biomechanics. Obviously, I discovered that I was a far better exercise scientist than I ever was a musician. Lol. Through it all, I never lost the wrestling bug. I still occasionally compete in exhibition matches.

      I was back in High School in 1984, i haven't even heard of Christian Rock til 1985. Hah, I remember Seeing Stryper in a Magazine for the first time in "85. I wrote them off and said, "No way these guys can be Christian"! So i went and got the cassette "Soldiers Under Command" and Wow! was i blown away!" We can't judge by the looks, but by the Heart.

    Nice job on the reaction...play more music like this please...By the way Michael Sweet played in the rock band Boston for a while.

    Kel-N-Rich, Thank you so much for the reaction to Stryper, made my day before the start of the workweek! I recommend the song No More Hell To Pay from them, as a another song to react to, based on the fact the songs were recorded more then 15 years apart from each other. Other then that a band called The Crucified song Mindbender from The Pillars Of Humanity album (red, white, and black cover art). God bless you, and enjoy my suggestions.

    #Kel Glam metal (also known pejoratively as hair metal and often used synonymously with pop metal) is a subgenre of heavy metal, which features pop-influenced hooks and guitar riffs, and borrows from the fashion of 1970s glam rock. Glam metal is influenced by music acts like Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Kiss, and Van Halen.

    Stryper was my first concert. It was pretty cool. I remember Oz had some cool looking wrist bad that had flashing lights.
