Guitarists Alex Skolnick and Michael Sweet Shred, Talk "Christian Bands"

Metalhead To Head returns this week with a new episode featuring Stryper vocalist/guitarist Michael Sweet and Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick. Check out Part 1 of the episode above and Part 2 below!

Sweet and Skolnick–who note that they haven't seen each other since the late '80s–get into plenty of back-and-forth discussions about bands doing cover songs and cover albums, re-recording their earlier material for better production value, the process of bands breaking up and more. Sweet goes into the nuances of Stryper being portrayed as a Christian band–"I don't like being called a Christian band; we're a rock band made up of Christians," he says–and how they have managed to shed that stereotype a bit and keep up with the rest of the rock and metal world.
