Stryper Brings Home Their Metal Sound: Concert Review "To Hell With the Devil"

Stryper Brings Metal Stings with Their 30th Anniversary Album Celebration Tour: To Hell With the Devil with Song River

It was a 'sweet' celebration Stryper brought with them everything a 30th-anniversary celebration should bring and then some! The strength and heart as the yellow and black brought the hard rock attack back to Arizona, as the Nile Theatre was packed with die hard fans that came from some sort of faith background so it seemed and included a wide age group range.

Stryper really was the premiere heavy metal Christian rock band that came onto the scene back in the 80's and pioneered the way and without a doubt still brings the best of it all today. Still working with the original lineup of vocalist Michael Sweet, drummer Robert Sweet, bassist Timothy Gaines and guitarist Oz Fox hitting the 30th-anniversary release, 1986's album, To Hell With the Devil. The album spoke to so many when it was released and today those fans who fell in love with To Hell With the De…

Interview with Michael Sweet of Stryper A Man of Few Regrets

with Song River

Whether it is the challenge of growing up too fast, playing in a band that he loves, flying solo, working on music projects, the loss of a loved one, or just kicking back at home musician/singer-songwriter Michael Sweet greets each day as if it were to be his first and his last. With an eagerness to say yes and come what may. His faith in God has carried him to say, "I am not a man of many regrets."
Song River: Being on tour for a band must be an almighty passion. What is it though that most bands do when they have a 'day off' while they are out touring?
Michael Sweet: To be honest, aside from interviews and social media, it is a day we finally get to do our laundry! [laughed] I am so OCD about doing laundry. You got to be the first one up if you want to get it done.
Song River: Laundry day has to be a good day! When you are on the road and away from home what are some of the things you miss?
Michael Sweet: Of course I don't like being away from my fam…

BANGS! Featured Artist: Interview with Hyde of the VAMPS (Visually Arresting Music Performance Sanctum)

The beast has captured Japan and now the deliverance of what rock is about culturally is taking America over. VAMPS are a visually dramatic monster to be experienced. It is the perfect union in the darkness of night between theatrics, lyrics, and playing. Unleashed, in full presence they have quickly taken over and conquered triumphantly. It is time for some Sex Blood and Rock N Roll to overtake your city and bite hard into your rock needs. Come and join the VAMPS and feel the dark side of the theatrical night. It is time for a potent injection that bites hard and rocks you off sweetly.
Song River: It seems for quite some time Americans have been sending their bands over to Japan and the people there have embraced the sounds we produce. Now, we have Japan delivering back and as always the creative artistic way of thinking from Japan takes a standard set and turns it up a notch. Creating something that goes one step beyond the usual. How similar or different are we in this genre betw…

5 SHOTS!!!!! with Ron Thal Bumblefoot

5 SHOTS with RonThal Bumblefoot

BUMBLEFOOT

FIVE FACTS:
Trying to think of things people may not know about me, these may be a bit weird...
1. I'm an old-school wrestling fan, going back to the Bob Backlund, Ric Flair, Greg Valentine days.
2. As of recently, for some reason, I really like looking at Instagram photos of giant hamburgers.  Something about them makes me feel calm.  Check out @burgerlove_aus
3. I fast once or twice a week.  16 to 24 hours - it's like hitting a System Reboot button.  (Maybe that's why I like to look at giant hamburgers...)
4. Every morning before my eyes are fully open, I hit the floor and do 60 push-ups.  I'll then spend an hour reading articles on science, technology, and more.
5. I'm most comfortable in extreme heat.  I wear jackets when it's 95 degrees and don't break a sweat.

FIVE FAVORITE ALBUMS:
Kiss – Alive (1975)
I was five years old, at my neighbor's house.  There were albums all around, belonging to his older brother and…
