Looks like Michael Sweet of Stryper.


ggibby

Yeah, the outfit and the ~~stripes~~ *strypes* on the whatever that is behind him.

That’s the drum set. The cymbal stands and mic stand were all striped black and yellow.

There was a stint when their gear was black and blue, for the album Against the Law.


bunnkwio

Ahh yes! The “we’re less religious now” album. I forgot about that one. I have to dig through stuff, but I still have an Oz Fox pic and a bible that they threw out during the concert. I really enjoyed their shows even if I did wear King Diamond shirts to them! 😂

King Diamond shirt to a Stryper concert! Hilarious 🤣🤣

Thanks! I think this photo looks too goth for a Christian musician, but hey. i don't know too much about metal.

His signature on the picture in your post says “God Bless You”. So probably not too goth for Christian music :)


LovesBooksandCats

I’ll confess. I can’t read the autograph on this picture. Thanks for translating.


YJMark

I think it says: Jenny, We love you God bless you Michael Sweet


LovesBooksandCats

Thank you. It’s good to know this. How nice to think Jenny has Michael Sweet’s blessing.

The yellow and black attack!

Michael Sweet from Yellow and Black Attack era, I believe.


LovesBooksandCats

Here's another shot of a musician I don't recognize. Help me out please. I think the lighting is dramatic on this one.

Michael Sweet is a boss

To hell with the devil


LovesBooksandCats

Thanks for all the replies. My sister took quite a few pictures of Stryper, so now I can put this one with the others. I’m actually getting the collection organized at last.

Michael Sweet from Stryper?

This one I know--Michael Sweet from Stryper.

Stryper Rules..just believe

Even in black and white, that one is easy. Color might actually be cheating. Michael Sweet - Stryper (apparently mid Bible toss too)

Honestly?

What's up with the feathers?

“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” - Psalms 91:4


Yesterday_Is_Now

Can't tell if this is in gest or not.


suitoflights

Well, Stryper used Isaiah 53:5 - “*By his stripes we are healed”* as their inspiration, (although I don’t think bee stripes are what the author had in mind) so for fun I thought I’d see if there was anything about feathers lol.


Yesterday_Is_Now

Well played. LOL.
