Stryper Michael Sweet Interview- WHEN WE WERE KINGS New Album Review- Questions? Updates 

Stryper can hold their own on any stage with any band. They are that talented.

Very few bands have the quality of Stryper. Can’t wait to hear the new one.

Stryper has done more music than most bands in the last 20 years. Always loved Michael in Stryper and a solo artist. Great work!

Eternity is very real to one who loses close family members. Stay strong, Stryper!

GREAT interview!!! Being a fan since '85, I feel that everything from No More Hell to Pay through now is the best of the Stryper career!!! I favor them much more than the classic Stryper records, but I still love the classics.

GOD BLESS MICHAEL SWEET & STRYPER ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✝️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Great interview! Stryper is in my top 3 favorite bands! Love the new material 03-pres!

LOVED The Final Battle. So i can't wait for the next one! Brought a few friends with me to the McHenry IL show of the tour last year and they were the type that would've normally not seen Stryper live but they came out converted to how great they truly are. One of my other buds was like "wow, i really misjudged these guys!" Keep at it.

I dont buy as many hard copy cds of music as I used to. But I buy every Stryper release. The music, songwriting, and artwork is always top notch these days. These last few albums are their best in my opinion. Cannot wait for this one!

Stryper, Skillet and P.O.D would be an epic tour!! Wel love you Michael Sweet! Continue being a Rocker and a warrior my brother!

80s Stryper was a perfect blend of pop and metal. Nowadays there’s not much pop left in their sound. Both versions of Stryper are awesome in their own way.

Great interview. I’ve been a fan since 1985…looking forward to hearing the new album. IMO “Fallen” is still the all time greatest Stryper album.

Their new song, “End of Days” is AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to get the album!

I have been a stryper fan for years and I have all their cds 💿 vinyls and cassettes and every album gets better and better all through the years. And thanks for interviewing him Michael sweet always does great interviews .

Cool Interview, Looking Forward To The New Album💛🖤

I'd love to see a box set from the reunion to present.

Michael met and took pictures with King Diamond at a festival in Mexico a couple years ago and had a great conversation with him. I thought it was really cool.

I was at this 2005 Lorca SPain festival, Stryper played around 1:h30 am to 3:00 PM lml ! ANd the guys did a meet and sign and greet after show at 3:00 am !

Looking forward to the album. Great conversation guys.

I heard one of the new Stryper songs on RU-vid, and it reminds me so much of a song that could have been on To Hell With Th Devil. That Guitar tone has that classic tone, not many bands carry a classic tone over to newer albums!

I am excited and hyped up plus cannot wait here. I've been listening to Stryper since I first saw the music video called, I believe in you on mtv back in the day. I just bought stryper to hell with the amps cd yesterday and I have to say it's a very good acoustic CD.

Stryper fan

Awesome interview! Great job!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stryper is on the Rock Yeshua Jesus Christ and rocks!

My first time seeing Stryper was in 84 at the Royal oak music theater for soldiers under command tour. It was Great but the following year i seen them on to hell with the devil and they were So freaking good!! I actually seen that tour twice because it was So good. What a Great band!! And Still going strong.

The one band from the 80s that got even better .....

Looking forward to the new album and seeing you guys in Tucson 🤘👊

Tara loves you guys

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like the old stuff, but it's the new stuff that really got me into Stryper.. Michael I would say to try to get into his word more often, as you mentioned these are the last days. Without knowing his word things will get harder determining the truth as the days get darker. Your also right we love the sinner but not the sin. But we will also need to take a stand on issues like LGBTQ as christians and no matter how hard you try to be careful you will be hated if you don't accept everything they push and this is not just the only issue but it's a big one. I don't think listening to a Satanic song is wise, his word says to avoid every appearance of evil. This is why it's important to know his word. I say this with all love and respect.

With all respect, if you think the ten commandments in schools is unconstitutional , you don't have a clue about US History.

Amen! Michael Ashley! John 3:16! The new and realistic covenant!

I like the new stuff much better than the old stuff…from like 2012 on … mot such a fan of the last album, but I like it.

All of the LA ORIGINALS(That are noted of the main, early 80’s bands to come out of LA!)!: Motley, Wasp, Ratt, Dokken, and Stryper! Or, even realistically, I don’t believe Motley Crue would “lower” themselves to sign on, but definitely, Wasp, Ratt, and Stryper! And I have thought that for years! Triple headlining, or, even extract that terminology, each of them playing an hr., hr. and a half!

Pretty cool how Michael sweet .likes alot of different bands. The covering album was so awesome when I heard stryper doing alot of great metal songs that I grew up with.

You guys need to be on a lot of bills to tour with theses bands. It needs to happen.

Tell it Michael. On point.

I am a huge Stryper Fan! and I have NEVER felt Michael's lyrics were "Preach-y" at all! I think they would fit on the Priest bill especially the spiritual lyric direction Rob Halford has been taking on Invisible Shield, Priest were never satanic anyway.

Oh nice a Extreme sounding song? You guys got me excited for this album! Ik Michael said he was trying to get Nuno on a song when he did Ten but scheduling didnt work out

Tara is behind ya

Pat Paradise Rock Station digs this!

🤘🔥💥❤️

Tal ves hay celo hacia Stryper... su calidad es incuestionable y supera a la mayoria de las bandas en produccion de canciones, que es inagotabla hasta la fecha. No creo que exista otra banda con eso. Larga vida a Stryper!

seria esse novo álbum um prenúncio do fim da banda, porque quando começam a lembrar dos tempos áureos do passado, é um indício que a banda está acabando, espero que eu esteja errado, mas....., saudações do Brasil.🇧🇷

Well Michael I must be a weird one but I think your best album so far is The Final Battle. I never go back to the old records, except a few songs. I made a Stryper playlist for running and 90% are new songs!!!

I get what mike is saying about singing voices and i agree. But i personally always put micheals voice up with the best of the 80s. Tate, Dio, Halford or Dickinson. His voice was higher range than those guys but as for strength of vocals hes definitely in the tops and id argue that with ANYBODY!!

Been asking for an instrumental song for years…

You were here in 2014 in SPain, Leyendas Del Rock, contact Marcos and come back with Narnia in 2025 !

Jimmy, you mention in this episode that you don't like the bands that Maiden take out as support? There is a simple explanation: you don't listen to these bands because they are newer bands and you don't care about newer bands. You will listen to and support new music put out by legacy bands that you drooled over in high school (ex. Maiden, Priest, Stryper, Anvil, etc.), but overwhelmingly don't give any coverage to newer bands trying to get their footing in an ever more diffcult 21st century music business. And yes, I know, you have interviewed newer bands (ex. Thundermother, The Gems, Lucifer); but for ever 21st century band you give the time of day to, the Maidens of the metal world will still get 100x more attention. But hey, the 20th century is where your strength is, so keep it up. There are plenty of other podcasts that focus on newer bands, or even (heaven forbid) focus on both legacy and newer bands.

No need to interpret the Bible and wonder if you've got it right. The Holy Church has already done that. The Catholic Church, established by Jesus Christ Himself, give you all the tools to be a good Christian. Don't try to be your own church, it'll only lead to confusion.

Go back to your roots. Trying to be slayer alienates your older fans who chose you guys over thrash metal bands.

Thanks for sharing! God bless you guys ! Savior king Jesus keep you safe always on God's biblical flat earth! Stryper fans check out dean odles biblical flat earth presentation!
