man......this is good stuff.......they didn't have figured the riffs out.....or the "final" lyrics ...this is raw........stryper almost at the composition stage......I just cant believe this....
I grew up in Downey. I was not a Christian back then, but I remember seeing all their flyers all over the place, and I use to play roller hockey in what is now the main sanctuary. The bullding they purchased was an old Jewelcor store. I wish I would have seen them. I eventually came to Christ through them, but many years later. I was a musician, but back then was into Yngwie and Halen. God Bless guys!!
It was a White Front store. (before the church.) After that they opened it up for Friday Movie nights and after the church was built half was still used for movies and we watched concerts in the sanctuary every Friday night. I was there
@source60 Nothing wrong with Yngwie Malmsteen. He is actually a Christian himself. On is newest album there is a song that speaks of the suffering of Christ.
In regards to the comments below, Michael isn't screwing up the lyrics, this was recorded well before the 'Soldiers' album was even released and it simply had different lyrics back then. I have quite a few early bootlegs and this and other songs (such as 'Surrender') have some different lyrics.
Yeah, he's awesome, and he does a great job, but he shouldn't be screwing up like that. I mean, I've seen him do fine many times. The lyrics are one of the most important parts of Stryper!
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF STRYPER IS STILL TOGETHER
I SEEN THEM IN ANAHEIM CA. WITH THE RESURECTION BAND
IT WAS REAL. KEEP ROCKIN FOR THE ROCK OF SALVATION 2 SAMUAL 22:2

maskedknight0,
Mike always forgets the lyrics. Watch him butcher Honestly in the Stryper Live in Japan video from 1988.
I still think he's the best performer. I love this band and they will always be the first metal band I ever listened to.

That's an awesome vid... it's weird hearing that song before it was on an album... sounds like the lyrics changed some.
