I remember this! Real videos used to come on at 3 am EST. I actually stayed up to watch this cause I was such a big fan. 😂

I would never dessert these guy's, I've always been a major fan. I love the message in their songs.

OMG! I had this on VHS back in the early 90's from the broadcast, and the tape got recorded over (I think Dad used it for a movie) - I have literally looked for this for YEARS! Thanks so much for posting, such a great ride back down this particular memory. I wasn't a Stryper fan prior, but discovered 'Against The Law' because of this episode and became obsessed. First Stryper album I ever bought. Thanks for the time and effort putting this up. Brilliant. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing this interview ❤️

I remember this and didn't think it ever see the light of the day on KZfaq.

Great archive footage. So glad this is available here on KZfaq. Appreciate Matt Crouch and all he's done for Christ and for Christian music.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I had recorded this back when it aired and loaned it out to a friend and never got it back. I have always wanted to re-watch this.

Such a great interview.

I recorded this on VHS as well! REAL VIDEOS! They kept teasing the "Shining Star" video, but they never played it!!!

You guys are Awesome and never ever stop singing and playing for God. Satan will do his best to destroy something that God wants from you guys. God gave you talent an assignment and that is reaching out to people through your music so that they to would come to know Christ. I would love to come to one of your concerts. I never had to money to do so but I love your music and it speaks God and that the only thing that counts.

Great interview, thank you for posting! It looks like part of this was on a rare promo cassette for “Can’t Stop The Rock” so it was nice to hear it. Very soft spoken gentlemen considering how hard they rock! Been a fan since 1985 and ATL did not lose me one bit as it conveyed many positive messages. The underrated title track from “Can’t Stop The Rock”, with the nearly identical production/sound of the instruments and vocals, along with the fact that a promotional letter sent out prior to ATL that 12 tracks were recorded for the album, yet only 11 appeared on the album, leads me to believe that this track was recorded during those sessions. If that’s the case, it’s possible that since it shares a similar lyrical theme to ATL’s title track, only one of the songs would make it on ATL. Anyone know the details? Love the references to other Stryper songs in that song. “Believe” was also very underrated and overlooked. 2022’s The Final Battle I think is the best Stryper album since ATL.

Hi! I have this on my old VHS videotape and still watch it sometimes! I'm still a huge fan since 1985!! Thanks for uploading this!

Awesome! Very cool interview. Thank you for posting this. “You Know What To Do” is still a killer song to this day.

Stryper went into the trenches and the majority of fans immediately turned on them. It made me so sick. I'll never understand it. Stryper saved my life. 💜

Haha I had this on VHS.....and after a few years without using VHS I lost it. I'll watch it and remember those days....be a kid again for one hour. Thank you.

God bless these men 100-fold!!!! They sat in the hot seat for Jesus!!! Mad respect!!!!!!

ATL is my favorite Stryper record. So good

Awesome, thank you for posting this! For us long time fans, I remember the struggle of catching and recording these on VHS LOL. Amazingly, Stryper is getting better with age, the last 10 years they have created some phenomenal music! God Bless😎

I dig the Desert Shield / Desert Storm part of the interview.

This is an awesome video dude! Thanks!

I’ll never forget the time I saw a picture in Circus magazine or Rip of Robert drinking beers with King Diamond. That’s when knew it was all show business, baby!

I used to call it the "Desert Storm" jacket. It represents what we were all feeling at the time -- patriotism and unity.

Wow! I remember recording this back in 1991.. I was 14 years old.. I stayed up late i believe on a friday night .. Caught about half way through .. And was disappointed.. So i stayed up all night the next night to see if it would come on again so i could record the whole thing .. And to my surprise!! It came on and i recorded it from the beginning.. That is the way it was back then.. I watched it everyday before school .. Until one day a friend asked if i wanted to trade the vhs for a Savatage cassette and like a dodo i did so.. But here i am still a Stryper fan a age 46 and have all of the albums with the exception of " reborn" that album is so not stryper at all .. And have takin my two young daughters with my to see the band.. You old schoolers know whats up .. Have a good day guys

Thankyou...Never saw this one

Stryper is the child of God, the sweet brothers are gorgeous and beautiful people in the world. 🙏✝️🇺🇸

Dude, with exception of a few singles from other albims this Against The Law album is not only the best strypwe album but rhe only strypeer album i like in its ent entirely. HUGE thanks to the legendary producer Tom Werman. Unlike all the other albums, this one is NOT cheese and stands on its OWN as a kick ass rock album, with amazing hooks and an edge and pop sensibility. People are stupid, close your eyes and listen.

i believe in you fabulous video, lighting....really well done

I have always been a fan since the beginning. When Against The Law dropped I was not surprised because of they were going through as far as them being Christian band. Against The Law in my opinion is one of their best albums to this day.

It's good to see stuff like this, especially when I'm stuck at home with Covid. I got vaccinated, and still got it.

Against the Law was a AWESOME album! Stryper led me to Jesus plain and simple! They were able to reach people other bands couldn’t, think of how many people have found Jesus that otherwise wouldn’t have if they hadn’t listen to Stryper.

Good quality video for 1991.

Still a fan and their still making great music

I remember hearing about this when it happened was hoping for a replay back in the day on TBN. Better late then never

This was a tough period in music, and the Devil was definitely punishing us by bringing in Grunge~

ATL de lo mejor que ha producido Stryper, unico e irrepetible. En su mejor forma, por eso es mi favorito!

Hey Brother, you've got the highest music video quality on the internet

STRYPER RULES !!! 👍🏻✝️👍🏻

Good stuff. I wish they would have shown the Shining Star video in its entirety. "Lady" had a video as well.

Stryper against the law could have gone gold and platinum. But unfortunately it stops at 480,000 copies due to enigma bankrupt. So by the time, they sign a new label to hollywood records in mid 1991, things has changed in the industry. Nirvana by this time in 91 have came out with never mind. So that album just disappeared

Wow! I remember this!!!

Against the law is a great album!

Cool story I was over mikes house to pick up my son who is friends with mike jr , and this guy comes out and says hey what’s going on ,he extends his hand for a shake and I said hey Vince what’s up ,oh you know me ? are you kidding I’ve been a fan of the crue for ever . What are the chances ?

People should check out Ghost after watching this.....a new band that pays much respect to Stryper with their guitar work.

Oz and Michael are truly under rated guitar players.....I love their guitar work...and Michaels voice ....still awesome today..he may be still a little miffed at me for saying "All artist say their most recent albums are their best" but hey..it's true I mean you aren't going to say..."Well, its just ok, we have better ones" right? Its the business and a not so good one its tough some guys like me...never made it and I have played some damn fine clubs...this band as a whole has no weak links...zip, zero, nadda...I would give a nut to have a singer as good as Michael...God if only he sang on my new record.....which we are making for us, not for anybody else, if people like it cool if not cool also.

Hi, do you have the original file of this video on dvd? I'm a collector of STRYPER videos from Brazil, and in this one of yours there are 2 video clips that I've been looking for in good quality for a while. Is it possible to share the file with me? I have several shows I can share with you in return...

As a christian i related to against the law, i never heard anything on that album that was negative towards christ in anyway. It was all positive. I dont get the fans at all that turned on them.

Hit me in the face with a bible!❤

I can't listen to their new stuff but LOVE all the old albums

Somewhere I have the follow up video where Michael announced the end of stryper.

they suffered...and came through it 👍

What a great time capsule. Not just the interview but all the annoying early 90s jump cuts and fast zooms with the camera. ATL would have done better I think if they had released it under a different band name.

I hope The Last Battle isn't their last album

Beat metal band ever.

The 💄 makeup🎸😆🔥⚡

🤘🏻

I Believe In You Is The Best Song.

I never turned on Stryper. Against the Law was an amazing album. CCM should be slammed for demanding cheesy references to Jesus. True art isn't contained

It's embarrassing to think back to the narrow-minded Christians at this time. Their idea of "God" was tiny. Thankfully we've come a long way (I hope). It would be laughable to come across a "Christian" today who took issue with any of the following topics (inspired by the songs on Against the Law): 1) Christians standing up against unbiblical doctrine coming from the Church itself 2) A message to a two-timing woman to "don't come back this way" 3) Celebrating what one was born to do: rock the people 4) Loyalty to one another 5) Refusing a one-night stand 6) Encouragement to reach towards your dreams 7) The unrealistic expectations given to an ordinary man 8) The universal desire to court someone 9) Dealing with doubt while at a crossroads in life 10) A call for unity in a world that's falling apart 11) Fighting a spiritual battle through music What a peculiar time in Christendom. God forbid that Christians turn their backs on other Christians going through "valleys" as described in this video. SMH.

when I saw how christians treated these guys I left the church...i didnt want to be anywheres near these types of christians

In the video believe, you see the chief of police of Saigon execute a Communist lieutenant who had just murdered an entire family during the Tet Offensive. Great photo but too often misinterpreted.

I knew that Stryper wasn't failing by making Against The Law, my deal was that it was not the style of music I liked. I didn't really like the bluesy side of Rock and Metal in any band. I still went and saw them perform on that tour. Bride opened and Michael was having a tough night. At one time Oz looked over at Michael and said "You okay, mam?" He looked like he had the flu. Michael finished the evening but he struggled. That wasn't in a memorial hall or arena, it was in a bar in Springfield, Missouri. I know they were fighting a war at that time, it wasn't a war against the enemy but parts of the Church Body were warring against them.

The bassist looks like David Bowie.

Unfortunately they showed the world that Christian versions of things do not stack up against secular.

Christian means " christ like") your not Christian like stryper

Holy standards is not effeminate makeup in men and Jesus when there are no letters u,j,o,v,I,e in paleo-Hebrew. 😳

why did they have to make themselves look like women though?

These clowns made such fools out of themselves. 😂 Proof that Christianity in the modern world just doesn't work.

I believe in Stryper🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Michael Sweet is too sweet.
