One of those bands that I just don't get?, the first 4 albums are all forgettable filler, Sweet has an annoying voice, and the whole image/gimmick was lame.
IMO, they made a little improvement when they tried to go in a more pop metal (Slaughter/Firehouse) direction with 1990's "Against The Law", but otherwise Stryper sucks (and blows).

I like the song "Surrender". Other than that, not much. I've given them a chance, here and there, on streaming and it didn't click. Their hit "Honestly" is cheesy garbage.
Not everybody is on MetalShit.com and Blabberface fuckin’ dot net! Who cares? There’s such a small amount of people that do that. - Blotz

Huge fan since 1985 Also love Michael Sweets solo stuff. They just always deliver.
I dont get people that hate the lyrics but then worship Slayer or Venom. I m for sure not a religious person but I prefer a positive massage. Saw them 3 times last year and they deliver every night
Today they sound better than any of the other Dokken, Motley etc bands

Pretty much as soon as I found out about them, which was late middle school/early high school about ‘96-‘97 or shortly after.

Re: ***POLL*** When did you become a Stryper fan?
I've always considered them in the same boat as Twisted Sister, what with the goofy yellow/black & the religious gimmick. Also, like TS, the songs aren't good to my ears.
However, I did just see they are doing an acoustic tour & I thought Michael Sweet was good in Boston. So, if I go to that show & like it, that will be the day I become a Stryper fan, maybe.

Terrible band. And the entire Jesus thing was a gimmick.
I remember the drummer in my band in high school listened to them. His parents were super religious, so it was OK for him to blast it in the house.

I like a couple of their songs, but never became a fan.

Re: ***POLL*** When did you become a Stryper fan?
I'm only familiar with all the stuff up to (and including) "Against the Law" and there is a lot of cool songs on those albums, and some crap too.
Re: ***POLL*** When did you become a Stryper fan?
I’ve been a fan since “Soldiers Under Command”, even before I gave my life to Jesus. The religious lyrics never bugged me at all. And they still bring it live, big time.
