Stryper is still out there and i think they have gone back to their roots. Maybe he can rekendel his relationship with them. Saw a live show from Japan from 2011 or may have been more recent.

I was always under the impression that Kansas was a "Christian" band. Creed is probably the more well-known recent band that espoused "Christian" values...until Scott Stapp backslid.
My firefighter is a cousin of the lead singer of Stryper. When he was 15 (1986 or 87) he went with Stryper as they toured Japan. He told me that, at the time, Stryper acted very un-Christian while on tour.
I knew the former lead guitarist of Stryper. He left the band over their behavior even though financially it cost him dearly to do so.
Was that when they toured with Motley Crue? ON that toure they really got into being rock stars. I cant say I would blame them,,, its a one time shot at being a star, better live it! just dont hide it.
As a matter of fact the whole direction issue was what broke up Kansas. a few wanted to go the church rt, and the others the Arena Rock Rt. My vote would have been with Arena Rock. The clash has a similar dissent. Arena rock (combat rock album) vs more of the reggae punk. Small audiance V/s Big sales.

Trying to lie about stuff and getting caught and then open definace and a Battle of wills. He pushes my buttons every chance he gets unless he wants something.

Topic: A good day (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yesterday (Sunday the 2nd) I was sitting in the Jr. Highschool Gym while my son had backet ball pratice for his youth legue. I see a kid about 13 or 14 walk in with his mom and pop carying a acoustic. I keep watching my son, but as I hear him playing Marcie Playground's sex and candy,
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH3tqKZewa8 ) Im pretty impressed. Mainly cause he is too young to have known about this song except from his parents. After listening to him a few more min, I asked him if he knew how to play All along the Watch tower and Hey Joe. He said no, I said I can teach you in 5 min. It was cool. We sat on the bleachers and I showed him how to play the rythm for the two songs (which he had never heard) taught him the Pentatonic scale, which he was using in the marcy playground song and didnt know what it was) and showed him barr chord tricks and root 5ths, and taught him some finger excersizes. He was like a sponge. just absorbing it like crazy. It felt good to be able to show the kid things he didnt know. He is teaching himself primarily from you tube and learning from his cowboy church band.
He is only here every 2 weeks, So I told him I would be sure to remember to bring my guitar and Ill show him some more stuff.
Just thought Idd share.

I dont care what they look like myself that is one butt kickin band!! great vocals and a really solid sound,the lead guitar work is mean and clean I liked it
THANKS RUSSELL! FOR EVERYONES INFO,
THAT IS ROB HALFORD, BEST KNOWN AS the lead singer for Judas Preist. he is a "METAL GOD" in the world of heavy metal. This is his solo band, HALFORD,
Current line-up:
Roy "Z." Ramirez : Guitar
Rob Halford : Vocals
Mike Chlasciak : Guitar
Mike Davis : Bass [
Bobby Jarzombek
Roy Z is also the producer for Halford.
I think if you guys would open up your tastes a little you would hear what Russell and I hear. Kick ass playing. Get into the spirit is heavy but it is also very positive and pro christmas. Halfords renditons of the traditional songs are powerfull and moving. I can accept that some dont like metal, but the talent in this band is incredable.
MERRY METAL CHIRSTMASS EVERYONE---GET INTO THE SPIRIT

As a side note, I rarelyget on my soapbox about religion. If anyone was offended, that was not my intent. I broke my own ruel about talking religion. - I usually dont, that and politics. with a lawyer uncle and minister father,,,, I listened to too many arguements on church and state. I also grew up with a inside perspective as a PK. (Preachers Kid).

Re: NEW NAMES and DETERMINATIONS (39 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
On the topic of "Being Christian” I find that it’s become a way to try and tell someone else your better than them. I get so sick of all the ppl who profess to being so blessed by god or special because they have been "saved" and then become evangelical. Hey if it works for you great but using it on Face Book on all your post does not equal true Christianity. You can keep it to yourself. Do not try and tell me how special you are because you’re more Christian than the next person. That would be an OXYMORON.
As I stated in the last post. I was raised in the church, I have good values and the 10 commandments are a good set of guide rules. I am spiritual; I like to think I treat others as I would like to be treated. As I got older I just began to realize that looking at history, the worst crimes against mankind have been and still are done in the name of religion. I loved and still hold close to my heart the many summers at church camp. Yes we went to church every day, but there were kids there who were not Episcopal, had never been to a church before or after. We got an intimate dose of spirituality and being able to trust a total stranger after spending a week or two with them. Did kids leave being born again? Once in a while, but more often than not they left with a bond of friendship that still holds after 40 years

I do not care too much for christian bands, I think i willlabel myself an atheist musician if they can label themselves,lolKen
That was Stryper, but lets remember this was the pennicle of the "Hair Band" they did look abit "light in the saddle" They were pop metal for the girls. Yet they were cool enough at the time to bring my buddy and myself into the fold. We would cruse the mall and the main strip blasting out the Battle hym of the republic by them and a few others. this version is really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhkYdD-QlKk. The band that I really got into who was heavier is one called Barren Cross. Very Iron maiden influenced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpMDb1KAgfA
6 years ago I had a christian rock radio show. it was called GODROCKS. I played both of these bands pluse the current ones of the day(IE Toby Mack and little did anyone know then Chevelle) Chevelle has since gone mainstream yet retain some of their core values.
I will agree that many of the newer church bands are watering down music and replaceing lyerics with "praise" lyerics. My neighbor is a Awesome guitarist and he has always played in his church bands. He invited me to one rehersal, I kept waiting for some powerfull accents to wake me up. They never happened. I grew up with a father who is a Episcopal minister. I may not be as christian as i should be, but all the years in the church taught me on thing. PIPE ORGANS RUEL. A well played organ (no side comments LOLOL) will totally rock the heavans. Dad lead the campagin to have a whole new organ installed in the church in WV, After the organ was installed, my dad caught my brother and his friend in the church and my brothers friend was playing Boston tunes on it. Sounded great,,but dad was pissed LOLOL.
So if the music pulls young folks in and keeps them out of trouble,, what ever works. I personally like the stuff that gets your blood pumping.
