Stryper's Robert Sweet to Vicky Hamilton, "God's been telling us we're not supposed to be together" 

Same for me laughed mostly at them 8n the 80s now fast forward 30 years im a fan

Yes indeed. I knew of course that Michael Sweet was a _great_ vocalist, but only later found out that he's also an excellent guitarist.

I think they sound better than ever. Michael’s voice is still amazing and the tone is even better with some age and mileage on it.

Lol underrated? The black and yellow attack ahahahahaha 🤣

I saw these guys play in a club before they broke "big." Great show. I liked them.

Word:)Strange Stryper & T.S.O.L. were both on Enigma back in the day:)

🤦🏼‍♂️

Wow Vicky was a manager to a lot of LA hair metal bands.

I feel sorry for you

@@roxannestorm2616 she definitely got around, in more ways than one....

Bullshit

I heard they broke up again

@@Saber808 so you've listened to all their new material?

@@lorettasearcy1471 They’re still together - putting the finishing touches on a new album, and will be touring starting in May.

Yeah ok

I'm wonder if OZ FOX ok heard he has some serious health problems

@@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987 last thing I could find was from a year ago after one of his brain surgeries. He was doing pretty good then.

I loved Stryper but I don't think Robert is very good at all. Bobby Blotzer from Ratt is very good as is Joey Kramer from Aerosmith. Oz didn't solo much on IGWT and then took theory lessons from Tony Palacios before ATL album. Steve Vai told Oz he liked his playing on ATL which amazed Oz since he admired Vai. Tony P from Guardian might be better than Warren deMartini.

So is Michael... That dude is a total shredder, incredible singer, and he writes all their songs too..

She was fucking stoned 🤪

Yup….this chick isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. She sounds like an idiot today, imagine her back then.

All the 80s bands ?

They really took it up quite few notches on those last four. Michael Sweet's stuff with George Lynch is pretty badass too!!!

That would be more than an ounce was it all powder or rock damn I miss those days

@@ellamcclanahan9811 I think Buckcherry wrote a song about you. :)

@@Xarinova I love the cocaine I love the cocaine

I was at Gazzaris that night too. Sam and Ron were behind the bar serving drinks at one point. I remember that night well because at the time, Sam was feuding with Howard Stern and I was talking to him about it since I was in L.A. from N.Y. I told him that Howard was talking shit about you Sam just a few days ago on the radio. And Sam went into his comedic rant with that laugh he had! But he didn't share any coke with me.

"Where in which"...bwahahaha

This has been going on for a long time. Take it as a compliment, because when they are no longer bashing Christianity, then it is time to worry.

@@riproar11 Cuz it accepted in Life

Jesus told his followers that the world would hate them as they hated him. Darkness hates light.

Maybe because some Christians act a little too self righteous?

It's the everywhere in the western hemisphere. It's gonna be talked about.

She actually has her own record label Dark Spark Music…so please

@@bonosmuse1 , so she sings as a cocktail waitress? That’s good. Glad she is able to be employed. I had heard otherwise, but glad to know that.

@@ugadawgs1990 You're clearly not listening...I said she owns her own record label in LA...

@@bonosmuse1 , where in Louisiana? And what kind of music does she record? I assume jazz, if it’s Louisiana. I work two jobs, too, so cool she can do the restaurant and music gig. Very admirable. Thanks for letting us know she’s alive & well.

Amen brother! Pun intended! Lol

It was not girls it was Wild side. They had to play it twice I remember. ♥️🤘

Thats frkn hilarious.

They were trans before it was cool to be trans.

It was everything back then. Prince wouldn't let anyone in his band even go down to the hotel bar unless they were dressed up in their crap. They knew theyd get fired if they got caught.

Damn straight. God does NOT go around having "head conversations" with every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the block. In this day and age, you have to be a servant of the HIGHEST order to get an actual word and even then you may not get one. I mean think about it; if both God and Jesus were so fed up with religion at the time of the crucifixion that the only thing Jesus would tell the Pharisees regarding signs and miracles was that He was going to do exactly what Jonah did and if you can't figure it out then too bad for you, what makes ANY of these people believe that God is feeling more inclined to pull rabbits from hats in THIS shitty day and age? I guess we can be thankful that Stryper isn't one of those horrible, megachurch, "praise and worship" abominations though. I'd rather listen to Bedouin market camel-trader jams than that garbage.

You mean Robert Sweet? If so, being a Stryper fan, I was never a big fan of him vocally either, though as you indicated he is an incredible vocalist regardless.

Michael Sweet is the singer.

@@alexhicks5889 ahh yea, you're right, I get them mixed up some times

How is it hard to remember?? The great voice/songwriter is older brother Michael and younger bro is drummer & songwriter. You guys fans or not??? Oz Fox on da guitar, Tim Gaines on da bass. Guess I'm more of a history nut plus fan....

@@toddscully256 Actually Michael is younger than Robert. I always thought Michael was older too

Over what? Nothing? 😅

@@kellyreinoso4827 🎣

No, it was their mother Janice. She and her husband had some background in music.

Maybe it was the hand of God

@@metalbelles3662 Mmmmm...coulda been.

What about the devil? Does that seem natural and acceptable?

Right. It's fine to be a christian. But one can be a christian and write songs about things other than Jesus. Christian music gets creepy with this weird Jesus obsession.

@@dspencer1201 , great example of a Straw Man. And a False Choice.

@@paulgritter7957 It's neither of those Paul. Other religions and a cult were mentioned so I pointed to what would commonly be considered the polar opposite of Jesus and posed an obvious question in light of the fact that when bands like Slayer first came out, I never heard kids complain about them always singing about satan and evil. Was that lack of complaint because darkness is reasonable and comfortable?

So the Satan obsession never seemed strange to you ? Or ever album cover and every single band all about death and evil ?

yup everyone w different beliefs than you are cult members..of course

@@thegrigs777 well said..

@@thegrigs777 Notice how those who claim to be the pillar of tolerance, respect and acceptance (secular leftists) are in reality, the most intolerant bigots ?? When they lower themselves to the point of suing a person for holding Sunday school classes in their own home, because they are so triggered at the thought of someone who believes in a higher power ??

Inevitable & Cliche'-God & Jesus are exactly who they say they are.:)

Said someone who has still never fully opened his eye and really looked around nor understands science.

@@scottcolston9117 Yeah yer channels are all loaded up with Science:)You are a funny guy!I've got my tongue so far in my cheek it's hitting the Jersey shoreline.To put in scientific terms,scottyboy:)You are a Tyro Neophyte

@@scottcolston9117 Tell me about the Ice Wall if you can, that surrounds the Earth.

@@hairyknuckle1607 Yeah,tell us Scott:)Thrill us with your acumen-I'm going to get my Stryper records out:)

Idiot

The blues was the same as the Gospel music played in the church back then. The same folks who played the juke joints they on Friday and Saturday night, played in church on Sunday morning. Same chords, same progressions. Just different subject matter. So rock music was born just as much in the church as it was in the clubs. No where in scripture does it talk of a style or type of music being holier than the other. It is the attitude of the heart. In fact, out of tue 150 Psalms, 57 are psalms of lament, hurt pain and struggle (the blues)!

@@randalwoodburn8247 I'm familiar with God and Mammon. I'm saying that Rock was birthed in rebellion, debauchery,. At its core is evil, drugs, sex, rock n roll. I know there is no Bible for it but there is principal for offering God something that is unholy. County, Folk, Rap, whatever style One should examine the origins and what exactly are you offering to the Lord.

@@randalwoodburn8247 Randal, I just read in Judges ch 6 where Gideon tore down an Asheroth pole and an alter of Baal. He then (built an alter FROM THE WOOD OF THE ASHTEROTH POLE) unto the LORD. SO HE TOOK DOMETGING THAT WAS MEANT FOR EVIL AND TURNED IT FOR GOOD. HHMMMMM, I MIGHT CHANGE MY POSITION NOW THAT I SEE BIBLICAL PRECIDENCE, ???

You are right you can't spread Christian messages and bible when you worship the metal God 🤘🤘

Jesus also didn't go to the Synagogues to get his recruits either. He went to the tax collectors and other heathens.

I’m sorry but what on Earth are you talking about? Stryper; 167,594 monthly listeners on Spotify. Motley Crue: 6,454,708 monthly listeners on Spotify. By what measurement is Stryper more relevant than Motley Crue? Is there a joke here I’m not getting?

@@trancebruh3231 Exactly. Her book may outsell Stryper’s Spotify downloads.
