Stryper shouldn't come within 50 miles of attempting a Priest, Maiden, Ozzy or Sabbath song. Please...for the love of all that's holy (no pun intended) stick with hair band schlock and leave metal to the big boys.
That's a pretty awesome set list. But I don't know anything about Stryper so I'll assume they aren't as awesome as those bands they are covering. Though who is?
I'll give it a listen before I judge-they do a hell of a good version of "Shining Star" and they covered a Boston song (Long Time) on the new album, and it kicks ***.
They also did a great version of "Winter Wonderland". Maiden, Priest and Sabbath however. I dunno man...it was like when I heard the Rush tribute album and Mark Slaughter sang "Anthem". For the good of mankind....make it stop...
I wonder why they chose not to cover a classic such as Cannibal Corpse's Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's C***.
