Stryper Expo 2001

Label: Planet Rapture Productions
Stryper Expo 200
Released:
Produced By:
Label: Planet Rapture Productions
On May 21, 2000 Stryper fans from all over the world flocked to Parsippany New Jersey for the First Annual Stryper Expo. The Expo marked the first time the band had played live on stage together in almost ten years. See behind the scenes footage from this historic event as well as the long awaited performance.
In The Beginning
Released: November 1, 1988
Produced By: George J. Roewe III & Steven Brandman
Label: Enigma
Features the videos "Calling On You", "Free", "Honestly" and "All of Me" plus interview and behind-the-scenes footage from Stryper's 1987 world tour.
Stryper, originally known as Roxx Regime, was formed in Orange County, California by brothers Michael and Robert Sweet and guitarist Oz Fox.
Stryper stands for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness. The Isaiah 53:5 under their logo is the bible verse that states "by His stripes we are healed". The band earned their stripes on the Los Angeles metal club circuit and in 1984, after recruiting bass
player Tim Gaines, signed with Enigma Records and released their debut mini-album, The Yellow And Black Attack (Y&BA).
Rockin' The World
Their first full-length release, Soldiers Under Command (SUC), sold over half a million units worldwide in the eighties, and stayed on Billboard's Top 200 album chart for over forty weeks. In addition to the hard-rocking tunes that Stryper's core audience has come to expect, the ballad "Honestly"
from their platinum selling 1986 release To Hell With The Devil (THWTD) hit the Top-40 charts. The video for "Honestly" rapidly became the number one most-requested video on M-TV. 1988 saw the near-platinum release of In God We Trust (IGWT), as well as renewed success on M-TV, which
was bombarded by thousands of phone requests for "Always There For You".
Caught In The Middle
Coming off the acclaim of the 1989 tour supporting IGWT, the band released Against The Law (ATL) which shipped gold in the fall of 1990. Despite its sales success, some fans were confused by Stryper's change in appearance and lyrics. This lead to numerous rumors and questions about the
sincerity of Stryper's faith. "We were making a grab for musical freedom," says Robert Sweet, Stryper's drummer. "But we never should have let that been misinterpreted as a change in our beliefs."
In 1991, Enigma Records went bankrupt, and Stryper was left without a record company. This was short-lived, as they were quickly picked up by Hollywood Records. In the summer of 1991 they released Can't Stop The Rock (CSTR), a "best of" album with two new tracks.
In January of 1992, Michael Sweet left the Stryper to pursue a solo career. Although officially Robert Sweet, Oz Fox and Tim Gaines continued as a three piece for another year, there were no further studio recordings as Stryper once Mike left.
Together As One?
Michael Sweet was the first to re-appear back on the scene, when he secured a record deal with the Christian label Benson Records. (Benson distributed Stryper to the Christian retail stores in the 80's.) This union produced two albums: the self titled Michael Sweet, and Real. In 1998, Mike put out a
full length demo by himself titled Truth. This generated label interest, and he was soon signed to Restless Records. The re-mastered and updated version of Truth was released early in 2001.
Tim Gaines and Robert Sweet joined legendary Christian guitar player Rex Carrol in the band King James. Although King James released two releases to date, Tim and Bob only performed on the first album which was released in 1994 on the Christian label Star Song.
Absent from the limelight for many years was Oz Fox, who last was seen making guest appearances on several Christian releases including JC & The Boyz, Bride, and Ransom. Oz and Tim joined forces once again in 1995 to form Sin Dizzy. Together with Bobby MacNeil on guitar and John
Bocanegra on drums, they released He's Not Dead in 1998. Tim left Sin Dizzy in 2000 to continue working musically with his wife, Irene Kelly.
Robert Sweet released his solo release titled Love Trash in 2000, in which he plays all the instruments on the album and features Larry Worley on vocals. (Ex-lead singer of Christian rock band Fear Not.) Robert then formed Blissed with fellow members David Pearson, Trevor Barr, and Jeff Miller.
Their album, Waking Up The Dead, was released in early 2003.
Can't Stop The Rock
On May 21st of 2000, history was made when Stryper hit the stage again for an informal jam at the first annual Stryper expo in New Jersey. December 16th of 2000 marked the first full blown set preformed by Stryper in 9 years, held in Costa Rica. The second annual Stryper expo was held in Azusa,
California on May 18th and 19th of 2001. The two day expo featured multiple bands and vendors, with Stryper closing the expo with a concert. Shortly after, Stryper played to one of their largest crowds at Cornerstone in Bushnell, Illinois on July 7th, 2001.
For You
On March 25th of 2003, Hollywood Records released Seven, The Best Of Stryper that included 2 new songs (Something and For You). That fall, they embarked on a 35 city tour that both fans and critics agreed was one of the hottest tours of 2003. In March of 2004, Stryper triumphantly returned to
Puerto Rico to play a sold out show that was recorded for an upcoming DVD release.
The prayers of Stryper fan everywhere were answered in May of 2004 with the live CD recording titled 7 Weeks: Live In America. The CD was released on Stryper's new label; Fifty Three Five Records. On September 10th of that same year Stryper preformed at Walt Disney World in Florida with
bass player Tracy Ferrie.
Reborn
It was announced on March 30, 2005 that Stryper have signed a multi-album deal with Big3 Records. At the same time, Tracy Ferrie was named as their newest member. The band gave birth to their 9th release, Reborn, on August 16, 2005. For the next few years, Stryper toured throughout the US as
well as Spain, Sweden, Norway, and Brazil.
The Puerto Rico show from 2004 became the first ever Stryper DVD, which was released via Stryper.com in September 2006. In April 2007 it was re-packaged with bonus material for retail sale.
Stryper.com founder Brett Christensen worked with the band to release their early demos in July of 2007. The Roxx Regime Demos, again on their own record label, cleverly debuted on 7-07-07.
Peace Of Mind
On August 19, 2007, Michael Sweet performed with the Legendary rock band Boston at a concert honoring the voice of Boston, the late Brad Delp. Stryper then performed with Boston members at the Station Family Fund Concert on February 25, 2008. Later that year, Boston tapped Michael Sweet
to sing for them during their summer tour.
Exactly 25 years after their ground breaking release of the Y&BA, Murder By Pride (MBP) was released on June 21, 2009. At the time of this writing, Stryper is set to embark on their 25th Anniversary Tour in September of 2009. Reuniting for the tour, Tim Gaines will once again play bass. Stryper
will also reunite with yellow & black clothing designed by Ray Brown, whom created their classic outfits for THWTD and IGWT.
Keep The Fire Burning
Stryper.com was officially launched in November of 1999 by Craig Erskine and Brett Christensen. In 2003 Craig handed the web design duties over to Greg Hayes. In 2009, Jeff Wollschlager took over as webmaster, working closely with Brett to develop the site you're currently on. Stryper is
managed by Deep South Entertainment, and works with Stryper.com to help keep the fire burning!

O LORD GOD, TO WHOM VENGENCE BELONGS- O GOD, TO WHOM VENGENCE BELONGS, SHINE FORTH! RISE UP, O JUDGE OF THE EARTH; RENDER PUNISHMENT TO THE PROUD. LORD, HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED, HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED TRIUMPH?
THEY UTTER SPEACH, ''AND'' SPEAK INSOLENT THINGS; ALL THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY BOAST IN THEMSELVES. THEY BREAK IN PIECES, YOUR PEOPLE, O LORD, AND AFFLICT YOUR HERITAGE. THEY SLAY THE WIDOW AND THE STRANGER, AND MURDER THE FATHERLESS. YET THEY SAY, "THE LORD DOES NOT SEE, NOR DOES THE GOD OF JACOB UNDERSTAND."
UNDERSTAND, YOU SENSELESS AMONG THE PEOPLE; AND YOU FOOLS, WHEN WILL YOU BE WISE? HE WHO PLANTED THE EAR, SHALL HE NOT HEAR? HE WHO FORMED THE EYE, SHALL HE NOT SEE? HE WHO INSTRUCTS THE NATIONS, SHALL HE NOT CORRECT, HE, WHO TEACHES MAN KNOWLEDGE? THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THEY ARE FUTILE.
BLESSED IS THE MAN, WHOM YOU INSTRUCT, O LORD, AND TEACH OUT OF YOUR LAW, THAT YOU MAY GIVE HIM REST FROM THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY, UNTIL THE PIT IS DUG FOR THE WICKED. FOR THE LORD, WILL NOT CAST OFF HIS PEOPLE, NOR WILL HE FORSAKE HIS INHERITANCE. BUT JUDGEMENT WILL RETURN TO THE RIGHTEOUS, AND ALL THE UPRIGHT IN HEART WILL FOLLOW IT.
WHO WILL RISE UP FOR ME AGAINST THE EVILDOERS? WHO WILL STAND UP FOR ME AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY? UNLESS THE LORD HAD BEEN MY HELP, MY SOUL WOULD SOON HAVE SETTLED IN SILENCE. IF I SAY, "MY FOOT SLIPS," YOUR MERCY, O LORD, WILL HOLD ME UP. IN THE MULTITUDE OF MY ANXIETIES WITHIN ME, YOUR COMFORT DELIGHTS MY SOUL.
SHALL THE THRONE OF INIQUITY, WHICH DEVISES EVIL BY LAW, HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU? THEY GATHER TOGETHER AGAINST THE LIFE OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND CONDEMN INNOCENT BLOOD. BUT THE LORD, HAS BEEN MY DEFENSE, AND MY GOD, THE ROCK OF MY REFUGE. HE HAS BROUGHT O
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE IN THE GRACE AND LOVE OF GOD! 
EVERLASTING HUGS AND SMILES!
CHERRY
