STRYPER:THE CELESTIAL CONNECTION
LYRICALLY SPEAKING I am 20 years old and have listened to such great bands as Led Zeppelin, Rush and Stryper. Ya, Stryper! We say that we never listen to the lyrics. The lyrics talk about love, sex, evil, Satan, torture and drugs. I find it very odd that when Stryper hits the scene with Christian positive lyrics, people get mad that they are pushing religion.
STRYPER:THE CELESTIAL CONNECTION
There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground when it comes to Stryper: our esteemed readers either love ’em or wouldn’t mind if they took a lifetime vacation to Pago Pago. The last is particularly true of the now-famous Brad Stone, who started this whole mess when he wrote a letter to our venerable “sister” mag, CREEM. As you’ll see, Brad wrote that the metallic evangelists are sissified wimps with talent you could fit in a pea pod, or something like that. Which would’ve been fine, had we not been stupid enough to print it. Here, you’ll reap the fruits of our blunder, as Christian rockers set us—and Brad—straight. You can write us, too; we won’t be cross.
