I couldn’t come up with a better title for this post, but I feel that I have to write a little something about the most recent event in the Stryper world, especially concerning Michael Sweet and his family.
2 years ago Kyle Rae Sweet, wife of Michael Sweet, was diagnosed the stage 4 ovarian cancer, and the struggle have now ended in the most tragic way. She have now left this planet, but hopefully for a better place without horrible diseases.

Rockhospital.com sends our condolences to the Sweet family and friends.

Yep, as you should know by now, I am a huge Stryper fan, I have some LPs, their book and soon I will have their mini statues of their guitars, awesome! Well back to the news:
On MichaelSweet.com they have released 3 samples of new songs from the upcoming Stryper record, “Murder by Pride”. They sound really great, something fresh from the camp of the Soldiers under Command.
If you wanna listen to the songs you have to go to MichaelSweet.com and submit your email, you will then be forwarded to the sample page.

I am a huge fan of Stryper, their music is just perfect, and when I was looking at their merchandise shop I found these awesome replicas of their cool looking guitars:

And I have not bought them, how cool is that? I hope they will come to me before Christmas day so I could put them down in a box and rap it so I could put it under the tree, an awesome gift for myself so to speak.
If you got the money I think you should by them, if you are a die-hard fan like me. Would be something to remember them by when you are 50 years old.

Almost like something from a comic book, some kind of hero team, like Fantastic 4. Well as a matter of fact, Stryper is a Christian heavy metal act that was born in the beginning of the 80s, 1983 to be exact!
Their music is like an orgasm every time I listen to them, a flash of genius, and how metal should sound like. These dudes can master the soundwaves that goes around in the air, and among the audience.
But maybe they might have overdone it with some of their early accessories, but who cares when they deliver something with full force?

Stryper is a must, you have to listen to their tunes, even thou you might think Christianity doesn’t go with heavy metal, these guys shows the differ. I was very glad to see that they was booked for SRF in ‘06, but was very sad when they canceled the show, to perform on a Christian festival, I can understand that in some way. SRF might too diabolic for them, but I want to hear them and I want them to have the biggest audience they can get while attending Sweden, a mecka for rock music.

They do look much wiser and sophisticated nowadays, but that doesn’t stop them to put on a great show, from what I’ve seen on youtube, these guys can still bring what we want!

Have a listen at their myspace, you will be blessed! You can also read more about them on their wikipedia page.

I logged into my Flickr account, searched for the most recent photo associated with Stryper and I found this cool photo. Is this a true Stryper spotting or what?
I might be adding more cool band spottings later on…

I found this on youtube, and what I can find, this is the latest show with the members of Stryper enjoying the stage with Tom Sholz and Gary Phil from the band Boston. Awesome song with awesome musicians
