Hey brother, about the lying thing, just know that we are ALL sinners. But the whole point of the Gospel is that Jesus paid your penalty on the cross, and forgiveness is there for you, if you want it. BTW, a little interesting piece of trivia about this song, is that Michael happened to share a plane ride with Clint Lowery from Sevendust, and the two agreed to collaborate on a song. So Clint wrote the main riff you hear.

First guitar solo is played by Michael, second guitar solo is played by Oz.

Stryper is releasing a new album now in 2020. They just released a soundtrack from it. "Even the Devil Believes!" is the new album.

They are actually even damn better now. Michael Sweet STILL belts!!

You know, sometimes when you test people, you find out if they are true or not. By you testing Stryper the way you did, you proved that they are true to there Christian faith and they don't just do the walk they are as genuine as they come. You can profess to be something and be a scam. Stryper proved to you they were genuine in every way shape and form. Michael Sweet's voice hasn't changed. It has only gotten stronger. So powerful.

The pipes on Michael Sweet is something else!!

My very first gig ever was opening for Stryper Nov 11th 1985. they were awesome guys and I still have my personally signed bible.

I think STRYPER is a heaver band now compared to the 80s

This is an epic song. When I first heard it, I could never get it out of my hear. It has been burned into my mind and spirit. I love it!!!!!!!

Yellow And Black Attack was originally released as a four track ep. Which sold local in California, then rereleased as a six song ep national and fast sold 200,000. It was reissued as a full length lp hoping it would achieve gold status, but it never happened officially.

Yes, the whole album is good. Produced by Michael Sweet himself, which means the mix sounds as good as it's supposed to sound. The drums don't have that obnoxious boxy sound, and the songs are straight fire. Sweet's vocal performance is probably the best of his career, and I consider FALLEN to be the best album of their career.

Thanks for a great analysis of Stryper's Yahweh. Your honesty and appreciation for the art and artists is refreshing. As a teen I was a big fan of Stryper as I had become a born-again Christian. Especially, when you change your life style and choices to what you're impressed upon by the Lord. Now, as an old fart, I'm glad I recently discovered that Stryper resurfaced and are still making relevant songs that honor the Lord of the universe. If you're ever curious about the song Yahweh, find that Bible Stryper signed and sent to you and look up Matthew chapter 27 in verses 11 to 26 (in context). It might bring some insight in this song. Be well and God bless.

Strypers last few Albums have charted pretty damn good on Billboard, Amazon, and itunes

No more hell to pay, God Damn Evil & Fallen are the best modern day Stryper albums 👌

Yes they were originally Roxx Regime. Back in 1982 during the Summer Rock in SoCal, a band named Metallica opened for Stryper at the Long Beach Bruin Den by which point Roxx Regime was already well known in LA club music circuit.

Take it to the cross!

The cheese is gone. It's all meat now, brother.

You are correct, "The Yellow and Black Attack" (1984) was before "Soldiers Under Command" (1985), but most discography websites are using the date for the REMIX version of "The Yellow and Black" attack which was re-released in 1986 on a blue vinyl format and featured 2 previously unreleased songs...so that's where the confusion usually comes from. But you are correct...Y&BA came first!

Their versions on Carry On Wayward and Heaven and Hell are top notch.

Alot of people don't realize that Michael is one heck of a guitarist. He writes all the songs including riffs, and most of the solo's are his, Oz shares those duties like a Maiden type deal, but MS' solo's are always so tasteful,Melodic... reminds me of Adrian Smiths Solo's where as Dave Murray and Oz to me are more similar.

Stryper (Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness) is a Christian glam metal band, originally formed in California. They are known for their use of religious and Christian imagery throughout their performances, and are generally considered one of the first outspokenly Christian metal bands. Because of the associations of heavy metal music with Satanism and the occult, many Christian commentators have criticized the bands image, finding it incongruous with the message of Christianity. While the band claim to promote Christianity, opinion is varied as to whether they can be considered representative of the Christian community.

As Christians, we understand God's name as "Yahweh," which means "I AM WHO I AM" (Ex. 3:14 , NASB) and denotes existence. The Bible teaches that this is God's name, and it identifies Jesus with this name in John 1 where He's presented as the eternal Word who took on human flesh (John 1:1 -4, 14) since for the actions of Yahweh in creation are said to have been accomplished by Jesus (Heb. 1:10 -11, cf. Ps. 1 02:1 , 25-26; the capitalized English word "LORD" lets the reader know that the Hebrew word being translated is "YHWH"). So, the Christian teaching is that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are God as Trinity, and that Jesus came and died for our sins on the cross to forgive us and rose again to assure everyone who would so much as look to Him, to trust in Him, of forgiveness and eternal life (John 3:16 ).
