After being out of print for years, the authorized STRYPER biography, "Loud 'n Clear", has been updated and revised and is now available at www.stryperbook.com. The authors, Dale Erickson and Jesse Sturdevant, spent "countless" hours with Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet, Oz Fox and Tim Gaines (not to mention dozens of others related to STRYPER's history) discussing their career and the band that has changed the lives of so many. It was originally released in 2001 and now it's revamped for 2006. Also available is "The Road to Yellow and Black", a 30-minute DVD featuring footage from the authors' personal collection. See Tim Gaines give a tour of landmarks such as the Sweets' old garage (where STRYPER was born),hanging out with Robert and Oz, and footage from the Stryper Expo 2001. Both items are available separately or together as one.
