re: Obscure “hair band” that is actually a good rock band? One of the ones I’m thinking of…

What about Stryper?



They had two albums that went gold and a third that went platinum. The songs “Honestly” and “Free” at times were the #1 requested songs on MTV and “Calling On You” spent time as the #2 requested song on MTV.

That’s not “obscure” at all.

Stryper is still touring heavily and actually sounds just as good now as they did back in the day.

Better. Their current live sound is devastatingly crushing.

I kind of will allow it, though. They did have a pretty good bit of success, but always came in for scathing criticism because of the Christian thing. I think they have been consigned to the "obscure" heap and presumed to be dummies. But all members were highly skilled and they were a great band.

Has anyone heard the re-recording of old songs they did as "Second Coming"?

The re-recording of More Than a Man will melt your face
