faeriecat:

So you're into Stryper, then? They certainly have a style of their own, and Bible references have in the past been quite prominent.

Kind of classic hard rock.

I think in recent years, Stryper has taken on a new lease of life, right?

I was not a believer in the 1980's but remember listening to them as I was into metal. They had a pretty heavy sound.

 

[faeriecat]

Yeah they do have a pretty heavy sound which appeals to some folks. Myself included, though not my gentleman. I'm looking forward to the new album(s).

To this day I just love "To Hell with the Devil" ... straight to the point. LOL

Yes, I know that there is something very immediate, rigorous and compelling about some really solid Christian hard rock, right?

Blessings.

Meh, never much cared for them. Always considered them to be a Christian Rock wannabe of the mainstream "Hair Bands."

[MENTION=90631]Knotical[/MENTION] : Would you maybe have liked them better with haircuts?

[MENTION=90631]Knotical[/MENTION] : Would you maybe have liked them better with haircuts?

Hah, no. I really had no opinion of any of the bands as to how the "looked" just what kind of music they played.

K: I guess you just weren't all that impressed with their sound and lyrics, then.

I think maybe taht's why there's so much variety in music. To find the sound and lyrics to appeal to all. While I might listen to Stryper, Petra, Skillet, etc ... my gentleman finds bands like Third Day and Phillips Craig and Dean to be more appealing ... all of these bands have good messages; just in different formats for different tastes ...

faeriecat:

So it's the hard rock style of all three bands that you really like, then?

Blessings.

 

[faeriecat]

So it's the hard rock style of all three bands that you really like, then?

Somewhat yes. ANd just how their lyrics snap together with the tunes. That and Skillet has a lady drummer, adds to the "coolness" factor of them.

Don't get me wrong, I also listen to a wide variety of other genres and sub-genres, but the "metal" type tends to be my default these days.

@faeriecat :

Yes, heavy metal / hard rock: something confident and vigorous to it, not suprising that it's a kind of 'default' to some people; & someone else on her, @questdriven , is similar to you, I think. Yes, Jen Ledger (who now is tattooed with a faith based design, you know?) succeeded another lady drummer on Skillet, I think.

Blessings.

PS:

@faeriecat :

I think even Karen Carpenter started off as a drummer, right?

Stryper is a kind of male band, though...

Blessings.

Hi, Air, I was re-reading the thread; did you miss out some words on your post?

Blessings.

(PS: People are often not equivocal about Stryper, don't you thin? either they like the band a lot or not at all.)

No.. noo ;) "<3" is used as a heart in txt messages, internet. It's like internet language, when heart is not available. This is how it should look like... STRYPER :heart

AIR:

Oh okay!

(Also looks like a sideways ice-cream, I suppose...)

Stryper has a style of its own, certainly.

[MENTION=41474]farouk[/MENTION] Hehe, I thought it was an ice cream too until I heard it's a heart...

 

[faeriecat]

well ... ice cream is its own form of <3
