"Stryper" kickin' Heavy Metal!
Let me begin by saying I just received my DVD today. I finished watching it and I am 100% satisfied! I have been a "Stryper" fan faithfully since their EP release "Yellow and Black Attack" in 1984. I have seen them when they where huge and also later and have never ever been let down. These guys just plain throw down and always have! This DVD sounds great! Has a real good mix for the sound. I thought I would miss the 5.1 Surround Sound but it sounded so good I can't complain. The live footage is shot very good and covers all members unlike alot of other videos I have seen by other bands. "Stryper" has always been incredible musicians as well as people and CAN HOLD UP TO ANY BAND ANY TIME. "Michael Sweet" and "Oz Fox" are simply one of the best guitar duo's you will ever see or hear. It is awesome having "Tim Gaines" back in the band after the short stint without him because he is an amazing bass player and singer. "Robert Sweet" of coarse is one of the coolest drummers ever and is...
Good Show
I am a huge Stryper fan, and can accurately assess the band's performance. This is a good performance. Missing some of the little things, but nothing large enough to ruin the show. If you are a die hard fan, than don't hesitate adding this to your collection. If you are just getting into Stryper, than I would suggest that you order the Stryper: Greatest Hits - Live in Puerto Rico. That is a five star show, this one is a four star show.

Hair metal, the once heralded king of the late 1980s and the butt of many jokes in the post-Nevermind 1990s, has some of the most rabid fans in the world. Over the past couple of decades, bands that once reigned the rock radio airwaves have been making a comeback, fighting the stereotypes and releasing new music. Religious rockers Stryper, however, may have been one of the last groups people expected to reunite. Singer Michael Sweet enjoyed some success as a solo artist and other band members found other projects, but a few years ago Stryper, whose name is a reference to Isaiah 53:5, decided to take the stage together once again.
With Live in Indonesia at the Java Rockin' Land, fans have the opportunity to relive the glory days of the yellow-and-black attack (sans the spandex). Brothers Michael and Robert Sweet, Oz Fox, and Timothy Gaines blast through 69 minutes of classic Stryper material, from the big hit "Honestly" to the fan favorites "The Rock That Makes Me Roll" and...
