@snuffereet ya dude i listen to this cd yesterday and i was like, fater, better, green day with good solos and real vocals lol, just for this song though.
It's not bad. I don't think they'll ever be able to top "To Hell With the Devil." That album was simply flawless. I caught Stryper in Pittsburgh in 2003 during their reunion tour, they were amazing, I can't believe Michael's voice has held up so well over all those years. A lot of Metal singers tend to lose their original impact or tone after belting out such piercing high notes after a while.
@mbm13213 HE does have a plan for you! Just listen! Sometimes, its a still small voice...and not always a loud voice! Im betting you have a few people praying for you right now after reading this! God bless!
Meu Deus!!! God how it´s gooooddd !!!! the best , simply the best ! i´m christian nd like to listen some song of bands not christian, but only by the sound of guitars, but stryper take off my fault!!AAAAHAHAAHAHHAHHHHHHHHHH!!! roooooccckkkk and roll and Jesus Christ = LIfe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
What has that to do with anything? I've loved Stryper with a passion since 1986 but hated the Michael Sweet solo albums and now he turned his solo career into 'Stryper'.
This is so soft and doesn't sound like the 80's Stryper nor like Against the Law. I know no other 80's band that changed their style so drastically in a bad way.
Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say old Stryper was heavy.
Overall the new albums ARE softer than the 80's albums though. But that's not the point, the point is that the song structure and the style of new Stryper ain't like traditional heavy metal at all. The 80's albums, while some songs were soft, were still what people call 'heavy metal'.
This music is AOR (adult oriented rock?), pop-rock and stuff. It has got almost nothing to do with the heavy metal genre anymore.
Yes Stryper was one of the first major Christian rock/metal bands in the 80's.
I don't think one can compare it to Creed because of the totally different styles and instead of vague spirtualish references Stryper was/is blatantly Christian.
flakotellz: The meaning of the song s about his decision to live for the Lord. Tired of wasting his life and living for himself. "So I'll trade my eclipse for the son.:
"I want to make a difference. I want my life to make some sense. Cause when it's all over I know I have to answer for myself".
OMG!!!! stryper never ever played so fast!!! what a comeback to the 80s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you sweet!!! he said that the fans asked him for more guitars and screming old style..this is it! this band has listened to his fans' voice! rock on
i bought the cd same day it's comes out....it just amazing and yes 3 or 4 songs sound like michael sweet solo but HE WROTE ALL THE SONGS. see you in FORT LAUDERDALE miami FL at CULTURE ROOM it will be amazing...
LOL does not look like tiger woods...glad to see a new album out...I am not religious but i love metal and these guys kick ass! I have Stryper and Slayer albums. I have a disc in my car that alternates song between the two bands. "Praise Jebuss" (Homer Simpson)
Great new stuff from my fav band, but I am quite honest and blunt, and I will say that it is total bullshit that Robert didnt play on this album. It is not Stryper without Robert involved. To me it is just another Michael Sweet solo cd. No offense by it, but I know that Mike likes to control what is being played for the most part, which to me isnt a band!!!! Just my opinion, and they know that from the forum. Still love them
It was Robert who didn't play on the album. I know the real reason why he didn't play on Murder By Pride, but a guy who is personal friends with them asked me not to say why. If you want to know, send me a personal message and I'll tell you.
You got me, but now I feel stupid for asking people to message me because I am getting bombarded with requests asking why Robert Sweet didn't play on the album. Supposedly, the reason I claim to know is not the right reason afterall.
When Stryper reformed I'm sure the brothers were both willing to take it on or they never would have come back. Murder By Pride saw many delays due to Michael touring with Boston and dealing with his wife's situation. I'M sure Rob wasn't just gonna sit around and wait for his brother so he committed to other projects and it was those committments that led to his absence. The reason we can be sure of this fact is because he's part of the tour. Stryper was started by Robert Sweet it's his band.
as a long time stryper fan , iagree very much. I wonder if there has ever been some sort of brotherly rivalry behing it. or maybe it was roberts idea?
Two things: First of all, this sounds SO like Green Day, only better. Talk about wanting to bang your head! Secondly, let's all remember the Sweet family and support Stryper with your dollars by buying their album! Amen to that, agreed?
Hi Christian. No, I am neither suffering from metal retardation or blindness. It's just that feliperozza was mocking me, calling me deaf for hearing a Green Day influence in some of Strypers latest release. I was just responding to foolishness with a foolish statement. But thank you for asking :)
I do not know who is Tiger Wood, but a thing I know, this face in the layer is the proper creator of the layer, seems that it made a high-picture (Gilvan) there is a picture w w w styrer net/ /index.php?s=gilvan&x=11&y=6
Não estamos mais nos anos 80, estamos em 2009! Por isso não fico esperando que o Stryper vá fazer algo datado, só espero que continuem mandando ver no rock n roll... e é isso que felizmente eles estão fazendo! Striper is the rock that makes me roll!!!
Yeah, I like this song, but true its punkish. I just cant wait to hear 4 leaf clover and Murder by pride songs...those clips sounded most like classic stryper
