stryper god ... oh...... forget it. 001202 ... Barrett To hell with the devil? Well yeah! Stupid fuck'n bumble bees. 001203 ... SatanSatanSatan Heh, Those little boys have SUCH a surprise waiting for them at the end of the road... whoooo! excruciating, even. 001203 ... Rhin Stryper - I have no response to this, other than to say, 'I have no response to this!" 001203 ... green_stryper yellow and black attack. this is my response to this. they werent that bad, considering the time period. give em a break. 010428 ... bs74 stryper_upon_cactus 010428 ... flo NOT THAT BAD!!!! how much worse could they have been. you can't rock for jesus , its like skydiving for vertigo sufferers. i am quite firm in the knowledge that nothing lies beyond this realm, but stryper makes me wish (just for a second) that there is a heaven so that stryper can find out how bad jesus thinks they are. if j.c. listens to rock music then i amsure he has a sense of irony developed enough to cope the real thing black magic imagery and all. 010429 ... jesus i don't want those guys near me! 010429 ... jesus (the electric messiah. the acdc god) i listened enough to know that, especially during the Ozzy period, the lyrics of Black Sabbath were a warning against evil, not a celebration of it. but by the 80's i had switched from metal to hip-hop, new wave, and goth as my way of getting away from all the hairspray laden BS that heavy metal had become 010429 ... green_tenedril no offense, jesus. but goth and new wave had a lot of hairspray going on too! (not that this validates my comment about stryper in any way...)it's one of my fondest 1980's memories to have watched my aunt get ready for a night out by dousing her big new wave hair with tons of hairspray. 010501 ... jesus listening to cabaret voltaire good point, kid. i guess that mine was just how much i disliked 80's hair-metal "Me-ian" or otherwise. there's nothing funnier than a bunch of guys in spandex looking like a night at a kabuki theatre trying to act like anything other than deranged depraved gender-benders (if you're gonna talk the talk, walk the walk, i always say and the mainstream hair farmers never did and the "me-ian" hair farmers never did either) but that's just me goin' off on a rant. 010502 ... Dafremen Big hair bands were funny. Anyone that bags on them today has NO idea how silly today's artists are gunna look in 15 or 20 years. Those guys(well maybe not Stryper) were getting pussy, plain and simple. If a single one of you has a problem with THAT...well come on, live and let live. As for Stryper, I thought those boys were actually doing something interesting. Although I agree that rock and religion go together like a chef's salad and chrome plated lug nuts, you blathering "individuals" should be the FIRST to recognize innovation and the value of trying to do something different. Christian rock bands like Petra and Stryper weren't particularly innovative musicians, but they DID create their own genre and that's an achievement that not too many artists have bragging rights to. I say power to em, you couldn't PAY me to listen to that crap, but power to em anyway. 010502 ... 9voltJesus Daffy, I hate to say, but the irony of you telling anybody to live and let live or doing something that even remotely looks like sticking up for someone or something has got me damn near pissing myself with laughter (good thing i just got back from the restroom) All things considered, i guess this cements the feeling i've had that my whole day has taken a giant turn toward the surreal 010502 ... Dafremen I covered that a few months ago under HYPOCRISY do0d...where were you? : ) Daffy P.S. Live and let LIVE yes...Live and let DIE or pretend like you're dying or wish you were dying...not necessarily. Folx may want to sink into the lowest pits of self deprecating depression. Not if I can help it baby. I'd rather have you pissed at me than see you blue! P.P.S. I'm trying to be complex....ONE dimension at a time. : ) 010502 ... 9voltJesus OK then, i'll keep that on file for future reference, my files can be pretty extensive. (it's really what i meant when i told them to say "jesus saves" but so much gets lost in translation) 010502 ... ass facely my favorite group is helen reddy 010720 ... god stryper_upon_cactus 010826 what's it to you? who go blather from
