The "weary man on drums" LOL!! Robert Sweet is to Stryper what Animal is to the Muppets!! He's a beast and still one of my all time favorite drummers!

That isn't nice what you said about Robert Sweet being with the Muppets. How dare you say that about Robert Sweet. Shoots you belong on the Muppet babies as one of the Muppets sucking on a bottle. Now I don't want to hear anymore about Robert Sweet. Robert Sweet is a great guy. So there.

Hey Jay!

Back in my younger days. I was a Stryper fan. I can't believe that they had played on American Bandstand back then. I never knew of this.

Mike is a bundle of energy when he does those dances he gets his band mates into it oz and tim. Rob is a great drummer

Cheers from Indonesia.. I have this cassette of striper.. good band

The design and tone of their guitar s is what made them sound unique and how they played them in perfect harmony.

yeah and it really doesn't matter what they were saying about they were a great band and knowing that they were singing about Jesus made it even better

Of all the stuff i no an have seen about Stryper i never new they appeared on this sho.

Mike's little leg dances. He needs to bring them back! Oz does it too 🤣👏👏👏

I love this group they stand for what most bands dont stand for and thats god

I never got the chance to see these guys on "American Bandstand " when it came on back in the day and now I saw it. Whoa, I was blown away.

Stryper is A Great Band ever to be in Rock and Roll. My Love is with Robert Sweet Forever and Ever. Robert Sweet is my hero

I remember seeing this I was blown away. Awesome!

I'm not 💯% sure but I might be going to a STRYPER concert soon, I think my wife bought tickets... I was about 4 years old when When my Mom and Stepdad went to see them at the Tacoma Dome, they brought me back a poster and Robert Sweet had TWO KATANAs for 🥁 drum sticks, plus my mom had to explain to me that really was a guy not a girl. I didn't care I still thought they were RAD with a capital R A D!!!

I love Stryper the best band the world. In from Brazil , everibody love Stryper.

I'm just gonna be honest: praise Lord God Almighty, for these men have changed my life from my childhood years on, and I'm sure they have changed many others' lives such. God is good, and he shepherds his flock thru thick and thin.

Love Stryper!! Brings back a lot of good memories. These two songs are among my favorites!! Merci

I saw Stryper live in 1986 in Oxnard, Ca. on the Soldiers Under Command tour. It was great.

I admire this band

Lol, that video quality, I love the 80s.

Still got this song and honestly on VHS from this airing.

That was a excellent idea 💡 to get Stryper on American Bandstand. 😀👍

Amazing play back

I’m just glad they didn’t have any technical difficulties with the playback on this performance. I love Stryper! But ABS was possibly not set up for live performances. Too bad because Stryper is awesome live.

I remember seeing bands like night ranger and autograph on ABS. Missed this one. This is my favorite Stryper song followed closely by More than a man.

O my good is calling on you, thank you stryper

"Honestly" is the ultimate song of friendship. In the name of the Holy Father, I will be the best friend I can!

This is when you know the musicians already know the craft... A synced show and you still nailed it lol :) So many things to go wrong but you stuck with it... Robert didn't do any extra fills either heheh :)

That's exactly what I was thinking! This "Performance" is just a little bit too "perfect", and, while it's a great song, I'm actually surprised that, at this point, only you, I, and maybe some others, can even tell that this is lip-synched. They truly did play their synching game well... I'll give 'em that. Others that have been caught doing the whole lip-synching thing are, of course, Milli Vanilli, who had this happen to them, I think, either right in the middle of a concert abroad, or some awards show. I thought that it was one of the MTV Music Awards shows, from back over 30 years ago. KISS had that happen to them sometime within the last week or so...and then-We see this. Ugggh...I think I'll go find something else to listen to!

I love this reminds me of when I used to record all of my favorite rock bands on the VCR time to fix the tracking brother I love it though LOL

Great times indeed!!! Lucky to have lived it!!!!(still do haha!!!)

Robert getting down as usual

Fantastic

Lol on bass Tim Gains (crowd roars) on drums Robert Sweet (crowd really roars) Oz Fox on guitars (absolute silence, crickets)

Não sei como uma banda dimensão como Stryper se apresentou em palco simples desse pra tão poucas pessoas. Stryper metece muito mais.💪🇧🇷

Fun fact..... Billy Idol adjusted the tracking.

what did those drums ever do to Robert?

I would have loved to have heard the live version of this song clearly it's a track playing over their performance here

After further review I realized there is no live performance they're just lip syncing to it and acting like they're playing LOL I didn't catch that till the second song

Awesome! Didn't know this happened.

Tracking adjustment at 5:13. Nice. :)

Should of been live audio...way to go American Bandstand

Robert really had to play... no drum syncing here.

Thanks

Robert annihilates the drums..lol. Full body workout.😮

We didn't know about Utube in the future.

At Michael's finger pointing up at '...Need someone... ' Wow way to get lost souls to think about unite-ing to God

At 2:17. Anyone happen to know who the two girls are to the band that are to the right of the stage? Wow This is THE American Bandstand:) COOL !!!!!! ** Hey, Mr. Martin. How did you get YOUr hands on this video???

Backtrack though. Not that it matters now.

Hate how those show performances back in the day were almost always lip synced. Stryper did not have to do that.

sorry for the bad transfer

Kitsch as kitsch can. They are the Liberaces of rock.

first time i heard Stryper music was on MTV. I saw the video for "Calling On You" and wondered who the heck that was but also realized the song was going to be a hit. fast forward a few months and "Honestly" was all over radio and Dial MTV. now in 2019 the band is still on fire and they deserve all their success

Why is this only coming out of the right speaker?

It's a shame this is lip synced. Would have been historical otherwise. All this shows is how they dressed back then.

I HATE lip-synking.

It's miserable that he lost his voice. It happened to John Bon Jovi too. When you work on show biz, you will abuse your voice too much and don't save and take care enough like a classical singer because you want to make money as much as you want. That makes singer short life.
