  Me and my guitarist Randy went to the Croc Rock in PA to see Stryper.We had meet and greet passes so we got to see the soundcheck and of course meet the guys.They are so down to earth and I personally would like to thank Robert because he actually went back up to his drumset and handed me the pair of sticks he did the soundcheck with and that just really floored me because he is my idol and the guys in my band Blessed Realm say that I play just like him and I am OK with that.Thank you Stryper for the memories and I hope to see you again soon.

  I was coming out of a friend's birthday party at the Conrad Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico. That day the Stryper concert was taking place in the Choliseo and I had wanted to go but didn't have the money to pay the ticket so I couldn't go,which let me tell you sucked. So I went to the birthday, had an awesome time and when I was coming out, there she was, Annie Lobért! She was SO sweet! We talked for a minute and then came Oz and I went into even MORE shock! I was so happy they agreed to take a picture. I can imagine they were pretty tired and still,they were very,very nice. Sol (the one in the blue dress!)

Luckily by now I can check those off my list. Thanks again to all the guys who where very gracious. Hope to catch you in Dallas.

  I am a Principal of a Christian school near where Oz lives. After winning passes to meet the band following the REBORN show in Anaheim, CA, I asked Oz if he'd be willing to come to my school and share his testimony with my students. In February 2008, he did just that. I got to take him out to lunch and he gave me a preview of MURDER BY PRIDE!
• 
  A couple months after Oz came to my school in early 2008, he called me to see if he could borrow the DVD slide show I had made for when he visited the school, as he had a similar speaking engagement coming up. Since it was at my house, Oz came by MY HOUSE to make a copy of the slide show! Afterward, my kids (Emily and Matthew) and I took him out to Carl's Jr for dinner!

• 
  I 'met' Tim and Michael over the telephone back in 1990 doing an interview for a music fanzine my friends and I made back then, and then I met Michael VERY briefly after his first solo show at Knott's Berry Farm in 1992, but my first real opportunity to meet all four in person was at the Stryper Expo 2 in Azusa, CA in 2001. Here is a collage of me meeting the guys.
• 
  This picture was taken November 12, 2005 on the Reborn Tour. It was taken outside of Rigdle Theater - Fort Worth, TX. This was the second time that I've seen Stryper in concert. As was the first time, it was amazing. I am from Mexico and I drove more than 15 hours to see my favorite band!
• 
  My wife and I flew from Alabama to Vegas to see Stryper on the 7 Tour. We scored backstage passes and got to hang out with the band afterwards. All the guys were in great spirits and were so gracious to hang out, laugh, and take photos with us. STRYPER RULES!!!
• 
  In 1989 my friend flew out here, to New York, from California to take me to a Stryper show in my home town. Turns out, she has known the Sweet brothers since they were teenagers. We got to hang out with them for three or four days. It was so cool!
