First Time Hearing | 3 Generation Reaction | Stryper | To Hell With The Devil 

Thank you all for the kind comments and I’m so happy you like it! Come out and see us this year as we celebrate our 40 year anniversary. God bless you🙏

Stryper are a Christian rock band that sings about praising God, and themes from the Bible. They have been performing, and stayed true to their faith for 40 years now

They've been around since 1983 and still making great inspirational music.

They were an extremely underated band in the 80’s. They were criticized heavily for their Christian Faith. They are still releasing albums and touring.

Their ballad “Honestly” is a beautiful song and put the band over the top. Michael Sweet is the guitarist and lead vocalist. They were called Christian Rock originally. Yellow and black are their Trademark colors. One of their albums is called The Yellow And Black Attack. They are still making new music today. They are doing an acoustic tour this year called To Hell With The Amps. 😂

The letters in the word Stryper, according to lead singer Michael Sweet, stood for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace Encouragement and Righteousness. The name is taken from the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 53 verses 4 and 5: He (Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his "stripes" we are healed. Though there were several Christian rock bands and even a few metal bands prior to Stryper coming on the scene, they were probably the most successful and even had their songs played on secular radio stations. One of their hits "Calling on You" made the top requested video on MTV back in the day. Because of their unique style (visually and musically) Stryper was able to reach audiences that weren't of the Christian faith and they were able to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people all around the world reaching many souls. Stryper is still making great music and rocking. :)

Back in the 80’s, Stryper’s Yellow and Black attack was HUGE. They are still going strong to this day. Their calling card? Was the fact that they were always in yellow and black, which came from the album “Yellow and black Attack.”

Great reaction ladies, Strypers Michael Sweet will love it when he 👀 it, and will acknowledge you all. The Stryper Army thanks you and don't forget to check out more of their recent music.

Stryper is still around and is touring in 2024! New album coming, and an acoustic album & tour. They sound better than ever. Check out "Transgressor" from 2023 or "Do Unto Others" from 2021

Stryper are an incredible band who are still going strong today. Don't let the yellow and black fool you cause these guys can play with the best of them, so many great songs and albums spanning decades. Honestly is their biggest hit and was used often back in the day at weddings, it's a fantastic ballad.

Such a great Christian metal band named STRYPER after the Bible verse "by his stripes we are healed" great reaction ladies I knew y'all were gonna freak out to that one hey check out " you know what to do" by STRYPER a really good song! Keep on rocking ladies

Stryper came up w/ the 80's 'hair metal' scene in California... but unlike their peers, they were devoted Christians and the 'clean cut' guys of heavy metal... They dressed in matching yellow & black to signify their faith and would pass out Bibles at the end of their set. The band was: Michael Sweet (vocals & guitar), Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitar) and Tim Gaines (bass/ keyboards)... Stryper was gifted on their instruments and they were signed in 1984 and released an EP 'The yellow & black attack'... which sold 150K copies w/ little promotion... their first full album 'Soldiers under command' (1985) was the first Christian metal record to sell gold (half million copies) in the US... 'To hell with the devil' (1986) became Stryper's biggest record and sold platinum (1 million copies) w/ the hit ballad 'Honestly'... Ironically, Stryper was attacked by Christian groups for the album cover having the pentagram on the artwork, and it had to be censored. 'In God we trust' (1988) became a hit in Japan and sold gold in the US again, but Stryper saw the trends going against their brand of metal and went for a heavier record w/ 'Against the law' (1990)... but it sold poorly. Stryper split in 1992 after Michael Sweet departed for a solo career... the 90's were not welcoming for 80's artists. In 2005, Stryper reunited and released 'Reborn'... followed by 'Murder by pride' (2009) which charted decently at #73 in the US without any promotion... Their 15th album 'No more hell to pay' (2013) charted at #35... 'Fallen' (2015) charted at #44. In 2017, longtime bassist Tim Gaines was apparently fired from Stryper... Perry Richardson (bass) replaced him, and Stryper has continued to record and tour til today.

I highly recommend checking out their song "Do Unto Others" or "Transgressor" to hear how they currently sound.

AWESOME! So happy you enjoyed it! Some of Stryper's videos dominated the MTV Friday Night Video Fights.

One of the best bands of the 80's and they are still killing it today!!!

I have seen Stryper in concert before very good Christian rock band

I was never a Christian guy but always respected stryper, great tunes

Yall making me l 11:11 augh so hard my wife thinks im crazy. I have loved Stryper since they came out. God bless yall and keep the reactions coming.

Isaiah 53:3 " By HIS stripes we are healed"

You gotta do "Calling On You" (official video), "Free"(official video), "Makes Me Want To Sing"(studio version) and "The Sing Along Song'.

glad you all liked this. I hope you check out some of the actual album cuts so you can hear Michael Sweet's voice without tour burnout. The "To Hell With The Devil" album is a great place to start.

This is the title track of Stryper's second, and most famous studio album, released in 1986. They have released fourteen so far, and unusually enough for a veteran act, their more reecent outings are, overall, better and more exciting than the earlier stuff. One thing about the "To hell with the Devil" album though - poor Stryper have always had to struggle hard against their more fanatical "fellow" Christians, and the "THWTD" album cover debacle is a prime example. The original cover depicts four angels, presumably representing the four band members, about to throw the Devil into a volcanic pit. No sane, reasonably intelligent person could misunderstand that. But US Christian fanatics did. They claimed that the mere presence of Satan on the record cover proved Stryper to be Satan WORSHIPERS, causing such a stir that subsequent re-releases of the album have just featured an all black (!) artwork with band- and title logo. Rabid Christians have always hated Stryper, because they hate heavy metal and will never agree that metal and Christianity could mix. When Stryper's next album was released in 1988, it was called "In God we trust" and the artwork featured a dollar bill. Clever, right? No! Not according to those fanatics, who claimed this to be proof of Stryper being greedy money worshipers. You just can't win with human slime like that. I for one do not believe a God even exists in any way, shape or form, but this has not impeded my appreciation for Stryper's music in the slightest. As long as the results are good, I don't care about the lyrical content - within reason, of course. My native Sweden has also produced some of the most successful Christian metal (often referred to as White Metal) acts there are, like the semi-legendary Jerusalem and Leviticus - not to mention Narnia, who are arguably the most brightly shining Christian stars on the metal skies today. Extremely talented, and highly recommended. Returning to Stryper, they have proved an impressively stable unit over the years, with the exception of a multitude of changes in the bassist position. Their current bassist is actually the first non-religious member in the band's history: Perry Richardson, previously best known from the excellent early 90s hair metal band Firehouse. Oh, lest we forget - Stryper singer, guitarist and alpowerful (!) songwriter Michael Sweet also fronted the legendary Boston between 2007 and 2011, following the tragic suicide of original vocalist Brad Delp.

Also do songs of honestly, four-leaf clover, more than the man, shining star, I believe in you, these are all great songs by stryper to react to

They have a catalog of music videos.The singer and drummer are brothers michael and robert sweet, oz fox on guitar and timothy gaines on bass guitar. I`ve seen them many times in the 80`s and 90`s always a great show. Some of my favorites to check out are Always there for you, Soldiers under command, Calling on you, Honestly, Lady, Yellow and black attack the list goes on and on...

The name "Stryper" derives from the King James Version of the Bible.[3] "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."[

Micheal Sweet the lead singer and Robert Sweet the drummer are brothers. Great band!!! They were my first concert back in 1987. Great show. They threw out bibles to the crowd.

The Warning has actually opened for Stryper relatively recently.

Stryper has been around since 1983. They broke up in 1993 and have been back together since 2003. If you want to have your mind blown even more, check out Stryper perform these songs: 1. Transgressor 2. Ashes To Ashes 3. Rise To The Call 4. Blood From Above 5. Divider 6. Yahweh 7. Fallen 8. Marching Into Battle 9. Water Into Wine 10. Legacy 11. Rock The Hell Out of You 12. Not That Kind of Guy 13. Shining Star (cover song) 14. In God We Trust 15. The Writings On The Wall 16. The Way 17. More Than A Man 18. The Rock That Makes Me Roll 19. Surrender

Check out one of their more recent songs Do unto others.. it's very inspiring and phenomenal guitars!

React STRYPER - ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

Awesome vocals, awesome heavy metal guitars. Stryper - Soldiers Under Command is along with To Hell with The Devil their most famous song and there is a videoclip for it, but Stryper have some other very good songs such as The Rock That Makes Me Roll, Surrender, Co'Mon Rock, Loud 'N' Clear, The Way, Rockin' The World, In God We Trust

“The Way” is from this same album, and if you like those high notes of Michael Sweet, that would be a good one. But definitely check out their last album’s song “Transgressor” (2022). After 40 yrs, he hasn’t lost the ability to hit those notes, unlike the majority of the 80’s singers

이 공연은 1989년 대한민국 서울 체조경기장에서 개최되었다 메탈역사에 남을 최고의 공연이었다 최고 메탈밴드 !! 최고의 노래 !!👍👍❤❤

Stryper was one of the first three Christian Rock band I heard when I first got saved!!! I still listen to them today!!! Their concert was the best I'd ever been to!!! Rockin for Jesus!!!! ✝️✝️✝️

React STRYPER - CALLING ON YOU

Stryper have been my favourite band since discovering them since 1984. Still going strong to this day. The Yellow and black attack 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

Here's a song you can do HELL SMELLS by APOLOGETIX, Apologetix is the number 1 Christian parody band in the world, it's a AC\DC parody, Jesus is Lord

It’s been forever since I heard this, thank you!🎸🤘

This is the first time I've ever seen the 'Bumble Bee Band', and I don't know what was more exciting, their performance, or your reaction... I'd say your reaction was extremely entertaining!!!

I love your reactions to the spinning drum kit. You ladies are a lot of fun.

Lulu had a blast with this video. Kathy and Donna, too, of course. This is probably the greatest reaction to a video I've ever seen ... Especially since I'd never seen the video, too ..

Saw the more recent Fallen tour, first time live, but a long time fan since that release in '85. GREAT band and people who have paid a heavy price for living their faith from bboth sides of their possible audience. They have some better rewards waiting! Isaiah 53:6

Brings back huge memories of the days of Christian Metal. lol we had fun though. Bride is another great band from this era. Everybody knows my Name great song.

I saw them live in 1986. Seriously amazing show, and at some point they tossed Bibles to the crowd.

Been my favorite band since '84! More Stryper please!!

This was a joy to watch with you!!! 💛🖤💛🖤 Has Lulu recovered yet?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Want more robotic drum sets?... Check out some Motley Crue.

Ya'll need to react to more Styper.

If you want to hear something more recent with even more mind blowing vocals, react to their video called "Transgressor". They've not only still got it but they're better than ever 4 decades later. 🙏

Wow, I remember them, Christian Hair Metal. I know at least one of their songs had a glitch in the video that if you paused right was a scripture number.

One of the best reactions I have seen that was a lot of fun, the smiles and the laughs keep me coming back! 👍

awww Stryper the glam metal band that rocked with the power of the Jebus. They are actually a pretty good band have some real talent they would have made it bigger if they toned down their religious preachyness.

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

If you liked that drum set, you need to watch Tommy Lee of Motley Crue drum solo videos!

Do ... soldiers under command by them

Saw them live on In God We Trust. They are a Christian band, but also sang a lot about just love in general. Michael Sweet (lead singer) also had a pretty decent solo go at it in the Christian music charts. I own ALL of it! I really enjoyed these guys at a time when hedonistic ways were the way things were. Don't get me wrong. I love all of the music of that day. But it was nice to have music with another message that was ALWAYS in the top 10 on MTV countdowns. They really broke some ground. We all mess up during the week right? If we didn't there would be no need for forgiveness on Sunday morning eh? Lol.... Great reaction ladies! GO BOSTON BRUINS!!! 🍻👏🤟

You need to watch the Motley Crue drum coaster. Tommy Lee has his drum set on a roller coaster, and on a previous tour, they had a spinning drum set. He drums upside down

Ok now it’s time to watch Calling on you by Stryper it’s a must

if you want to check out more STYPER songs there is a great song called FREE which you might enjoy it will explain on how we can get in trouble or not this song will explain many different views of life altering choices.

Transgressors is there best song off the 2022 album. 2024s album in the making.

You guys are hilarious!!! I laughed til I cryed!😂 Love ya'll I saw them play this in concert 1990 in Michigan. Incredible! Take care👍

You should see Tommy Lee's drum set from Mötley Crüe.

Hello, love your videos, I think you'll like watching Golden Earring Live from the Twilight Zone video -Twilight Zone song. I saw it with my friends back in 80's cool tune 🖖🤟 Thank you for your reactions!

This was so enjoyable to watch you ladies!!

Actually Montley Crue Tommy Lee did this with his drum risers all through the 80s. This was a thing in big concerts at that time.

Great reaction, thank you. I have only just got into this band, I am 59 now and seriously underrated them back in the 80's.

Hi Lulu, Nice reaction your mother, your grandmother and your Lulu, I really like stryper, his lyrics talk about God's love and salvation, listen to the ballad l believe in you, it's a very beautiful song, God bless you and your family,

Still making music and touring today

You have to do their song: Honestly

The Yellow and Black Attack!!!

The song HAIR a cover by The Cowsills would be fun for Lulu to listen to.

So great video I had to subscribe! Stryper is one of the best bands ever. I like their newer music more than their music from the 80s or 90s.

Fun fact. Michael Sweet actually did a run with the band BOSTON as lead singer and back up guitarist for a few moments. GO BOSTON BRUINS!!!🤟👏🍻

and check out Strypers “Calling on You”

a good song of rock and super drumer👍👍

Christian Glam Metal!🎸🤘

This was thec1988/89 In GodvWe Trust tour. The night I saw then was Nov 29, 1988....I so wanted my Mom to go....she loved them as well. She pronised to go see them next time...but sadly, that same night one year later she was on her death bed from cancer. She was 47 and I was 16. I am now 51....and soo excited and proud to say my friends here ...Stryper ..100% accept this leather clad, blondie bombshell Transgurl. Honestly if I need to feel God's love.....I go to STRYPER....NOT church....but to Stryper....my friends forever

Robert Sweet On Drums, Michael Sweet On Vocals, Yes Michael And Robert Are Brothers. Then Oz Fox And Timothy Gains On Lead And Bass. The Yellow And Black Stand For Life And Death.

It's cool to me that people are finding out about Stryper more. They are a very underrated band. They were very big in the 80s- to early 90s, but kind of have been forgotten in the 2000s and 2010s. Glad they are coming back to the spotlight😎.

Always There For You and Transgresser. 2 Great Videos From Stryper You Might Want To Check Out. Rock And Roar.

The Colours Are For Life And Death. Best Christian Metal Ever. Rock And Roar.

Michael Sweet, the man who had so much crap talked about him in the metal scene during the 80s just because he was a Christian, right now stands as the best remaining singer of the metal genre to date. Sure a lot of great metal singers could sing their songs to perfection 40 years ago, but there are very very few men that can do it today. *to heeeeeelllll with the deee-heeeeaa-viiiillll* You picked one hell of a Stryper song to warm up to Your next song HAS GOT TO BE- ‘Unchain the night’ by Dokken

It’s The Award Winning Welder LuLu !!!

Stryper was EXCELLENT then and still is EXCELLENT today and Always will be EXCELLENT!

The first musical part is named (Abyss). It's comes first on the album and leads into the actual song as shown here. Stryper is on tour and will be in Odessa, Texas in 9/26. Gonna hit that concert for their 40th reunion tour. Their next album will drop on the 24 or 26th of September. They are legends and I've listened to their music since 1985. They are talented. Their bassist no longer plays with them, and has been been replaced by former Firehouse bassist, Perry Richardson. PHENOMENAL BAND!! Honestly, Fre, Calling on You, Yahweh, Rise to the Call, and many have absolutely blazed the way for Christian rock lovers far and wide! Thank you, Stryper for all your music!

Michael Sweet…bro. I went wandering on with my dumb life and just recently revisited Stryper. Saw you guys twice in the 80’s and it’s been so GREAT coming back to so much more than nostalgia. I could really write a lengthy and persuasive essay to share the impact you guys have had on countless numbers of us. I described Stryper to my Mom with such enthusiasm that one day she called me in Texas from my home state of Michigan to say, “Well, Christopher…I just wanted to tell you what I did last night.” (Uh-oh…is this her one phone call from “County”?) “I saw Stryper.” Whhhhat??? She took it upon herself to go buy a ticket and wade into the crowd. She loved y’all. I’ve never been so proud of my Mom. You guys are a part of the story of my life. Thank you, Michael, Robert, Oz and Tim. Man hug, comin atcha! Peace and Love.

JESUS IS LORD OF STRYPER

Motley Crue/Tommy Lee, Slipknot/Joey Jordison, Godsmack/ Shannon Larkin. Godsmack/ Sully Erna all have rotating sets. The last 2 do a drum dual at every show. Pretty sick too.

I saw them in 1992....they were thhe "Guns and Roses" of Christian Bands.....!!!

For some original Stryper videos, can I please request "always there for you" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0kiTy_rBtSk.html), and "calling on you" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qT-kYZWrHag.html), I suspect you'll enjoy them too 🙂

You guys are true goobers. This was one of the most spirital bands around. Listen to some more secular bands, you'd be surprised. Mercy Me? Still listen to Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden , King Diamond , Judas Priest, Marilyn Manson.... whatever...

The bumblebee is hilarious but i hope you're getting theyre message. ARE YOU HEARING THE MESSAGE?

Hi Kathy, Lulu and Donna. Here's a awesome Japanese all female rock band you haven't covered yet. I have added the setlist and timestamps in the description. ROSELIA - R & Throne Of Rose. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uyl9XBibSZA.htmlsi=9_BO8xpO47Rku1BW

I think it's time to watch , Always There For You or Calling On You By STYPER

There are memes going around saying that the lead singer, Michael Sweet, is a younger Senator Ted Cruise. Obviously it's not. Lol. If you like a good power ballad, check out "Honestly" by this band. The reaction to the drummer in this video was funny but you want to see something cool with the drummer, check out the official video for "Wild Side " by Motley Crue.

Check out Soldiers Under Command official live video by Stryper

Please. Always do the studio cut FIRST!! How can you appreciate the live version where so much is different, if you do not know the original?!

Saw them 6 times

My favorite group back in the day. Still is.

I bought the album, To Hell With The Devil, in 1990, and wore it out. As a church kid in the 80's and 90's, this was the ultimate in Christian rock. I loved your reactions, ladies!

"The Way" is awesome song hard rock song, probably my favorite of theirs, christian-themed lyrics can be ignored, just rocking out to a great tune!
