Answer: The Yellow and Black Attack

"The Yellow and Black Attack" is the original Stryper EP album released. It was not a full LP and had a limited release around 20,000 albums produced. It would be re-issued in 1986 after their second album sold well. The re-issue had two additional songs added, "Reason for the Season" and "My Love I'll Always Show". The other albums are all Stryper record titles.

Answer: "Free" and "Honestly"

Stryper hold the honor of being the first Christian band on MTV. While "Free", Calling on You" and "Honestly" all had videos "Free" and "Honestly" were huge hits for MTV in 1987. Sadly "To Hell with the Devil" never was made into a single and never had a video.

Answer: Tim Gaines

Tim left the band for a short time following the "Soldiers Under Command" tour (if you study Stryper history you will see Mr. Gaines does this several times). All the bass playing duties where done by Brad Cobb. Unsure of Tim's intentions, the band hired a new bass player named Matt Hurich. Matt remained in the band for around a month. When the band was having promo photos taken for the up coming tour, Tim decided to rejoin the band. Brad Cobb would be used by the band again for the "In God We Trust" album as Tim would once again leave the band. Not participating in the recording process again, but returning to tour.

Answer: Visual timekeeper

In all the albums, Robert puts 'visual timekeeper' along with his credits as the drummer. That means he is in charge of keeping the band all in key, which makes sense seeing that he is the drummer and all of the songs' timing relies on his drumbeats and timing.

Answer: Always There For You

"Always There For You" was a big hit on MTV but only reached number 71 on the American pop charts. "I Believe in You" made it only to number 88. The other two songs, while on the album, were never singles. The only other single from the album was "Keep the Fire Burning". The song never charted at all.

Answer: Mike and Rob's mom

Mrs. Sweet was the manager of Stryper. I must say, she did a fantastic job! Mike said he and Robert grew up in a very musical family.

From Quiz Stryper

Answer: no friend of mine

From the song "To Hell with the Devil", from the awesome album, "To Hell with the Devil". This is their best album in my opinion. This album really put them in the commercial market of music.

From Quiz Stryper

Answer: Against the Law

"Against the Law" was another favorite of mine, but this album caused some critics to look at Styper in a different view because they looked all grungy and unkept as opposed to all the make-up and flashy clothes they wore on previous albums. They also had more secular/commercial music and seemed to be straying from the Christian based songs. To me, they were just broadening their horizons, but to some people, it was the self-destruction of the band.

Answer: Orange County, California

Michael, Robert Sweet and Oz Fox are all from California. Tim Gaines was born in Portland, Oregon.

Answer: sideways

I do not know the reason why Robert does this, but I have seen Stryper live and he plays with his side towards the audience. You can also see him playing like this in the videos they make.

Answer: Loud N' Clear

The biography is named "Loud N' Clear" after the song of the same name. It takes a very in depth look at the worlds best know Christian metal band. The book pulls no punches and shows some of the not so nice facts about the band. It was out of print for many years. The band has just re-released the book with some add on chapters to cover the new years.
