3. First time I saw Robert Sweet

I honestly thought he was a girl. It was only neck up in a picture.

He's the drummer, blond guy second from the left.

I was a huge fan of theirs way back when. I can admit that now. Therapy was good to me.

[Dr. Strange]

4. I have this album.

The funny thing is, I had heard their previous albums and hated them. I don't know why I was able to stomach this one.

6. Way more commercial, melodic metal.

I have the limited edition copy of the album. One of the first 1,000 pressed with the "Stryper as angels" cover.

9. I have the cassette version of that album (and cover) somewhere

5. They booked a show in my home town in the mid '80s

They canceled a few days before it because advance sales were 70-something.

7. 70-something people? Probably one big church group.

10. Stryper is still around, ya know.

I'm not making that up (unfortunately). Here's a show they were a part of recently.
