never heard of this...

doesn't answer the ? but here's this:

Kurt James wrote:Very shortly after Steeler disbanded, I received a call from the members of the Christian band, Stryper.  They told me they were replacing their lead guitarist and asked me if I would like to join the band. I agreed that it sounded like a good idea and started practicing and working very closely with Michael and Robert Sweet. Robert striped up a couple of my guitars and I believe their mother made me a striped outfit. We worked on the songs from their record The Yellow And Black Attack and most of the material from the album which was to become known as Soldiers Under Command. Things were proceeding nicely until we got to the point of tightening up the vocals. It was then that we realized I could not hit the high harmonies and play at the same time. Quite a humbling experience! I suggested that they should ask their original guitarist, Oz Fox, to rejoin the group as he was a much better singer than I was.

I saw a band pic online today with Kurt in the lineup and that prompted the question.  I imagine Kurt was more of a shredder at the time.  But Oz is an excellent singer.

Maybe Oz is still having trouble with his health and can’t handle the rigors of touring.

Wait... turns out I can't ban anyone. 

I'll have to get the King Of Stryper Fans (aka Kerrick) to do the deed.



Ok... so it turns out he doesn't answer to me and is now proclaiming himself King Of Slayer Fans. 
STRYPER. HATER!!


Ok... so I've been informed that I have been banned.
