I found this video a couple of days ago- We used to think guys like this looked sooooo cool....music's great, but just look at 'em! Makes me wanna die laughing....
Holy crap, I've never seen that clip before. Was that Dinah Shore? That song was never even a single.
I remember Edgar Anolin at GHS giving me "Yellow And Black Attack" to listen to in 10TH grade and I've been a Stryper fan ever since.
I never gravitated toward their look - I never thought it was "cool." Maybe I was a cynical 14 year-old, but I could sense that they were doing what they had to do to stand out and get noticed. Not that the music wasn't strong enough on its own (talent galore in this band), but the yellow and black, the message, the bibles, etc... - it was a great hook.
I didn't care for the yellow and black stripes, even i thought it was a little over the top-I didn't even think it made sense...but being raised in Private schools, they were all I had to rebel with, and with the heavy music and long hair, it was enough to drive my teachers and my mom crazy...job well done by these guys- I was able to rebel just enough. Great band, great musicians, and a great message, even for non-Christians...
Entrepeneur, Lover of one (and only one) wonderful Lady, Musician, die-hard Bronco's fan, free-thinking Libertarian and extreme sportsman. I am a next-to-native Coloradan- been here 22 of my 36 years alive (except for the two in beautiful Salt Lake City!)
Remember Warrant? Check out their new lead singer...
WARRANT EPK LIVE 2008
As a huge fan of Jani Lane, I have to say-if Robert Mason could write these songs, he'd BE Warrant...awesome- a true professional at work
"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." --Ayn Rand
the libertarian mindset decoded...like watching myself (except the drug references)
Make-Work “If all we want are jobs, we can create any number — for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. Work is sometimes its own reward. Mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. Our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs — jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume.” –Milton Friedman
