(EXCLUSIVE) Michael Sweet Stryper Interview - 2019 God Damn Evil 

I thank God that STRYPER is still out there delivering the goods! The world need's the message of how everything is and needs the Lord more than ever... You're a great inspiration Michael and hope OZ will recover... Thank you for your music over the year's! God Bless You and STRYPER... Rock On! ❤🙏🎵🎶🎸💯🤘

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the older Stryper music, it's why I'm here now, yet with that said... I believe Michael is right about "Stryper 2.0", or "New Stuff". The formula, or maturing, & even some musicianship, it's just 'better'. Heavier, a little bit, crisper, more polished, showmanship, all of it, and it's the best bargain in rock & roll! I love these guys!

Our family is praying for Oz Fox, the Lord is sovereign and nothing escapes his control. There is no need to worry (Phil 4:6-7), for all of us who are united to Christ (in Christ) by faith alone in him alone God promises his peace. We are safe in him, all our days are numbered (Psalm 39:4-13). Let's keep praying for Oz and Stryper for faithfulness, encouragement and perseverance. Fix your eyes on Christ and press on, brothers. It was great seeing you guys in Melbourne, FL 3 weeks ago.

They are making the best music of their careers NOW!!

In my opinion, your earlier music was great but your talent and music has kept progressing to the max! The newer songs are beyond fantastic!

Michael is an amazing soul. I believe he incarnated on this planet to help raise the vibration level of both the planet itself as well as that of humanity. And he does that through the creation of the greatest music ever conceived, with the most focused, positive messages, pure as driven snow, ever put into song. God Bless Mr. Michael Sweet, and God Bless Stryper and all of their legions of fans across the Earth and beyond.

Glad to hear Oz is doing better, still very worried about him though.

Michael is such an inspiration.

God BLESS You all! Your more then a Band, you are a true meaning of a Family! Who's still got it on the music scene, wife and I still love you all!!!! Our prayers go out to Oz and his family, as for The Stryper Family!

Amen Brother, Thank you all very much~

This band just gets better with time their music has inspired me my whole life ROCK ON STRYPER🎸🎵🎶

Love Michael like a brother

Yes, Stryper is better now. Always awesome but always getting better. 😚

Michael is the man!! Well he seems really down to earth. Thank you for this.

Great Explanation. I had the song titled "God Destroy Evil" but now after hearing Michael's excellent explanation, I changed it to "God Damn Evil," as it should be. There seems to be this unwritten thing in the church that you can never say the words hell or damn, but I think that is a mistake.

Great Interview....Love you guys...Keep the fire burning

STRYPER...Even better now ! 👍👌

Thank you for inspiring me to reach higher Mike..and for music that helps me keep on keepin' on. God Bless you and your family

Stryper has always been one of my favorite bands and I am so proud of the message that you continue to share with the world that so desperately needs to hear about Jesus! Love you guys and my prayers going out for Oz. God bless you all! In Christ www.jimvilandre.com

Brother i have told i love you and from here on out will continue to love you and thank you for bringing me home.

Great interview. Stryper is gonna go to Peru, and I hope to see them in the concert.

Michael, your integrity is so inspiring! I can listen to you for days! When things are not so good, I like to listen to you and your music to lift me up, and reach out to God of course.

God bless you extremely STRYPER and keep playing extremely your bro peace

Great interview! I wanna a Brazilian tour. If the Stryper do it, don't forget Belo Horizonte city, okay.

What great guy and great musician!!

Thank God!

Stryper is great and Michael Sweet is awesome singer. He’s making the best songs now although classic Stryper hits are great too.

Good interview. I saw them live once last October, and they done a phenomenal performance. I can’t wait to see them again.

♪God bless Stryper, God bless 'em all!♪

God Bless Stryper!!

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} aahhhh so cool....GREAT VIDEO..!!

🇦🇷Very Good Michael "!!!🧔✌🇦🇷

it is so good now

Good stuff!

Awesome!

On and up man!!!!!

most under rated song writer singer guitarist

Praying for Oz

Hes completely right about make new music..For example foreigner,slaughter always playing the old songs over and over..an Stryper do the same and at the same time making new music every 1 or 2 years..to keep the vibe and letting the fans we are here creating stuff for you.👌👏👍

Nice! Oh--- Mortal Kombat machine in the BG! LOL

SLAYER!

AGAPE!!

STRYPER is and always will be the greatest METAL band ever. Message is pure and true. And the music is progressing and heavier. I love it🎸✝️

Puro Oro! (9) Inspiration

Was Michael waitin' on an oil change at this interview? Just kiddin'. Always been a fan and Mike seems like a tremendous dude. Continued luck and prosperity to the Band.

The issue is there is such an awesome talent, I would hate to see it go to waste. Look at Bride, I know there was some medical issues there but at least produce more music.

Love Stryper,have done since Christmas Eve 1989 when I watched a tv doc about them.....a CHRISTIAN metal band,so cool and I pretty much hadnt heard of such a Thing back then(except i'd heard about Altar Boys).Hope they continue to be as motivated and creative into the future,into their 60s,even beyond.Must admit i havent yet heard God Damn Evil.Wow,if some of Stryper's titles are so controversial what would poeple make of my death metal project Headless Deathwish?(My 2nd Project,my more important to me one is Aqaba Gulf).HD is Christian but way extreme in styles of titles and subject matters covered.Very gory and bizarre on the surface.But I want People to quit judging by whats on the surface or how something Looks or reads and really get into the heart and Soul of something.The Messages are the complete opposite of the sicker of the secular death bands but many of the titles would seem to be straight from Cannibal Corpse or Carcass.Too bad so far I've not been able to find anyone to work with me in either Project....ps i'll travel to anywhere and come to live anywhere in the world for my potential Music ministry.But as regards this vid here...yeah man Long live Stryper and their bold faith!

🤘🏻

*Stryper without Oz Fox is not Stryper.* *Come on Oz, get well bro.*

Something's wrong with my typewriter I said whoever does not have the sun does not have life. . She he that has the son of God has life

Don't get me wrong, I love Michael and the band, but I have a tough time believing that there wasn't at least SOME intent to stir up some controversy with the album title. He said it was to get people talking, but it's the controversy in it that gets the people talking. Michael is a smart man, and there's no doubt in my mind he knew it would offend people. It's one thing to offend others when telling the truth of the gospel, but Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians that we aren't to offend anyone as much as we can help it, with our life choices for the sake of others' conscience. The album title is a stumbling block to many believers, and in my opinion does more harm than good. A simple comma would've eliminated a LOT of offense, and even expanded their audience. Something my mentor once asked me, was "How much influence do you want to lose by doing that?" That's something we all should consider.

During his interview ladies and gentlemen he forgot to mention there's a hell that's right there's a hell but he didn't mention it but there's a big hell and boy is it big Revelation said there's no escape once you there you're there for eternity soul never dies there's no party in there either there's no Qatar playing there's no bang your Head music there's just burning so if we don't accept Christ that's where you're headed

Mike, sugest Oz to take the Kito Diet!

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him would not perish they would have everlasting life if they believe and accept him pastor Lord and Savior Jesus said he who was not half the sun does not have lice Jesus has the son has life we're dead in our sins and trespasses accept Jesus Christ Jesus said except a man be born again he cannot see or enter the kingdom of God I don't care who you think for how much money you make you need to be saved

3rd COMMANDMENT: THOU SHALT NOT USE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN. ( EVEN TO CURSE EVIL.) Proverbs 16 v 4 KJV: The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Why would GOD damn evil, if the Bible says that The LORD creates evil??

Is Stryper a Christian band? Because I find an album with this title hard to believe they are. Could I be wrong.

He’s a nerd.

Coming from a lifelong stryper fan, the new album is garbage.. sorry..

That isn't the face of a Christian. That isn't the look of someone in Christ. That's just another gurgling monster who sold his soul to the Devil for fame and fortune. Just didn't work out the way he expected.

As a Christian, I cannot support Stryper anymore.
