Stryper… come out to play!

This is one of the tours/shows I am most looking forward to this fall.

Hey, Lord willing I’ll be rocking with Stryper later tonight.

Well, I won’t be rocking like they will be rocking, but in my seat I’ll be going nuts.

In celebration of this joyous and metal occasion, I thought I’d share some great shots that Todd Myra, who captured that too awesome shot of one of the guitarists from Austrian Death Machine and that fingers wiggling in response to As I Lay Dying’s guitarists in the latest issue (in the HM Subscription ad), photographed at a recent show in Minnesota.

…and, remember how I said, “Lord willing…” earlier? Well, ya just never know what the future holds. Turns out tonight there is no Stryper concert. This just in:

STRYPER has cancelled their concerts scheduled for tonight Friday, November 6 (San Antonio TX – Scout Bar) and Saturday November 7 (Odessa TX – Dos Amigos Cantina) due to artist illness.

STRYPER will however be returning to Texas on December 21 (Houston – House of Blues) and December 22 (Dallas – House of Blues). The Houston / Dallas shows will include a special Christmas segment and will include the fan favorite “Reason for the Season”, never before performed live at a Stryper show.

Refunds may be made at the point of purchase.
Fan meet and greet purchases will be automatically refunded.

    Doug,

    I just saw this tour last week at the Orlando HOB and I was totally blown away! I’ve seen Stryper 6 times, the first on the IGWT tour and then Against the Law tour and the reunion in 03 but I must say this time they were tighter than ever…I wasn’t expecting much but to me Stryper is in the best shape of it’s career right now…I know they may not be whats popular but for over a hr they brought metal back and showed how its done.
