  • Alice Cooper said "the most rebellious thing I ever did was become Christian" , he made good point there.
  • @BloodBerth
    Skolnick and Sweet interviewing each other... Never thought I'd see the day. Thanks Fuse! 
  • @evalex71
    Big fan of both of these guys.  Michael Sweet's clean lifestyle is what keeps him kicking ass still today in 2014.  Compare him to, say, Axl Rose, and you'll see what I mean . . . 
  • I'm a simple man. I see Stryper and Testament in the title, I press the like button.
  • @simsimma9622
    Stryper always got respect from the metal community.
  • @Rexxtasy
    I've played in rock bands most my life. Michael is one of the best singers I've ever heard!
  • @rickynix
    Michael should've played because Stryper is a very talented band, great musicianship.
  • @lifebait1537
    testament and stryper are part of the metal history in the 80s
  • @TheMeJustMe75
    This video is awesome, I like both Stryper and Testament!
  • @funniebunnie4u
    Great to see all the love for Stryper! They were and are amazing!
  • @coolnegative
    the thing is, Stryper's actual music was WAY harder than most "glam" bands from the 80s, it's just that Michael's voice was so high and girly, that it just seemed to tone down the hardness.
  • @paulamaceio
    Two metal legends. Two great guys. Open minded and brilliant dudes.

    I so love what Michael said! I'm a christian myself and I can totally understand the fact that not being called christian band, it's not about denying your faith but for instance a dentist who is a christian, doesn't put a plate outside his dental studio like "Christian dental studio" he is a dentist who's a christian! This is true for any other job! You don't need a label to "say" you are christian and christians shouldn't look for that label to be sure they are brothers in faith, one can call himself a christian and even play kinda christian music, but only God really knows his heart so what's the point?

    Met both these guys and been there since the very start of their careers. Saw Stryper in 1983 when they were a nobody band. Saw them again like in 2012 and they still sounds dead on. The reason they stood the test of time is because they are just that damn good. Both in musically, lyrically and singing. Same with Testament. Hung out back stage with them like 2 years ago. They've never changed the formula. Never sold out, just a true true metal monster trash band.
