This was a great show BTW. The band had not performed together in many years, and they put on a full concert for this Convention. Stryper have this weird cult following, not unlike Kiss. There were merchandise sales, Stryper costumes on display, a new Stryper book being sold, autograph signings, and tons of bands opening up the show including Oil, Joshua, Disciple, Sin Dizzy, Ultimatum, etc. The Stryper show was recorded and released on VHS tape, in very limited quantities.
it's always awesome to see STRYPER stuff here...I don't have issues with the Christian vibe (i love all metal, "satanic" or "godly"...it's all right on point).
STRYPER was cool to me in my high school days not just for their wicked guitar work...but also because they were a nice inlet to discussion about metal overall. The handful of STRYPER fans around me in the late '80s were mostly "church girls" who latched onto the message...but didn't explore the other Metal Blade/Enigma bands...and I was all about Celtic Frost, Slayer, Trouble, Fates Warning, Hirax, Cryptic Slaughter, Dead End, Lizzy Borden...STRYPER broke the ice and let the metal flow
