There are actually a lot of solid Christian Rock bands. It's surprising how little the posters here know about. |

Wasn't Creed a Christian rock band? I thought I read that at one point, but I have only heard one of their songs (that I know of). Creed would have been one of the top five Pearl Jam cover bands if they wanted to. Anyway, I was a roadie for Stryper from '82-'85. (I lost my gig because they said I "looked Jewish" and because I was peddling my allergy meds.) The point is that after each show, we'd throw Bibles into the audience. Not once did we ever find a Bible left on the ground. |

Ex-STRYPER Bassist TIM GAINES Slams MICHAEL SWEET, Tells His Former Bandmates To 'Grow Some Balls' Tim Gaines claims that he was kicked out of STRYPER after he was given an ultimatum by his former bandmates to either "give up" his new wife or get fired from the group. The musician's exit from the band has been rumored for months, ever since STRYPER guitarist Oz Fox revealed that Tim was going through a divorce, forcing the group to take a hiatus and possibly consider a future without the bassist. Gaines told KNAC.COM last month that "all hell broke loose" after he split up with his previous wife, "which is taboo as far as Christianity, I guess." He added: "I'm not the only guy in STRYPER to have gotten a divorce. Everybody in the band is married to divorced people. And I'm the bad guy, but everybody else has done it too, so? Whatever. Live in glass houses and everything will be exposed at some point or another." A few days later, the remaining members of STRYPER released a statement denying that Gaines's divorce was a factor in their decision to part ways with the bassist and blaming Tim's "erratic and hostile behavior" for his dismissal from the group. Earlier today, Gaines took to his Facebook page to once again address his departure from STRYPER. He wrote: "My recent demise within the STRYPER camp came about because I actually have testicles. I stood my ground when I was told to give up the woman I love (who is now my wife) or get fired. I threatened to sue. I was 'conveniently' fired ten days after my marriage to Brandee, on the grounds that I made some posts threatening to sue the band for wrongful termination. They called it 'threats.' "My recommendation to Oz and Bob [STRYPER drummer Robert Sweet]? Grow some balls and stand up to that pathetic one and his conniving wife" — apparently referring to STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet — "or just continue to live a life of mediocrity. You both have been threatened with termination over the last several years. He has a million-dollar home. You rent and drive twenty-year-old broken-down cars. You both have NOTHING to show for your thirty-five years. Quit playing rock star and get a clue, dumbshitz." |

Stryper should be sued and pay damages for basing their entire look off of EVH's famous Bumble Bee.  Bonus info is that guitar now rests in eternity with Dimebag Darrell. |

We should all go and kick his ass. Listened to the first song and was disappointed I didn't hear any Cookie Monster growling about the Golden Rule. |

Your list is not compelling me to believe any of them are "solid". Van Morrison and U2 are the only decent acts on there... Also, Mastedon should be crucified for fucking with a decent band like Mastodon. |

There's a ton of so-called "Christian Rock" bands I could recommend. Some of them are on the Wiki list Drake posted. Dismissing Christian music out of hand because you're not a Christian would be akin to dismissing Motown because you're not a black person in Detroit. It's your loss. |

I actually had this on vinyl when I was 14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45wFXlpkyu4 It's pretty good for what it is, (speed/thrash) but I didn't listen to it for long. tommy and I have probably been in the same building at one time or several, because I think I saw Stryper 5 times between Soldiers and In God We Trust... I was a kid who went to an AOG church, sue me. Stryper actually played Alpine Valley, and White Lion and Loudness opened for them.

Do You hear my cry? Do You hear me? Out on deep water With nothing to hold on to I've been attacked by storms of disillusions Vessel of isms that was my security Has now become a wreck Waves of indifferance Forcefully they crush my hope I see no point in struggling for survival But in the distance There is a light so bright A glimpse of hope in sight Lighthouse, shines Salvation is at hand It is the Saviour my light His name is Jesus Christ It is the Saviour it is the light It is the Son of God There is a lighthouse That shines to guide my way So I may find the harbour of salvation The Son of God is Reaching out His hands to me Saved by the Trinity |
