We may have done this one before, but I don't care. 

I am bored and in need of mental stimulation. 

Maybe mental evaluation as well.  scratch

Anyway..................

Who would join Stryper in a Christian traditional/classic metal big four?

Mine might be...

Stryper
Bloodgood
Saint
Barren Cross

Although I'm very tempted to cheat and expand it to five so I can add Sacred Warrior.

There are lots of good bands to choose from!

I consider Stryper more hair metal so drop them and add Sacred Warrior.

I consider Stryper melodic metal.

Especially their more recent material.

Most trad/classic Christian metal bands back then had the glam thing going on at some point. Take a look at their pics from the 80s.


Anyone who disagrees is a very wrong individual.

Yes...he didn't get the memo...

Stryper and Whitecross, not so much, though in many ways, quite so... even Bride is debatable, but not wholly off the table...yes...I am bored!

TZ cheated. 

He had Bride listed, then took them off.

Not fair.

Not fair at all.

People are too hung up on the glam look... 

Is Shout at the Devil not a metal album because the Motley guys were in drag? Was Twisted Sister not metal?

I know… but I like Rob Rock better! 

Holy Hell is one of the best Christian metal albums!

The first Bride album is definitely metal! 

But then they went more bluesy with a Guns N Roses influence.

I would say the first 3 Bride are well within the metal sphere.

Starting with Kinetic Faith, they went for that whole GNR/Aerosmith/Zeppelin vibe. They were great at that too. 

Actually, think what one may of their stylistic "experimentation", Bride excelled at whatever genre they went through. 

That said, I'm glad they finally found their way back to playing stuff influenced by their earlier albums.

^agreed, tho some of Silence is Madness is on the way to the GnR Factory. I just recently gave that album a listen, it hasn't aged well. Still a classic though.

I thought Snakes in the Playground was the GNR style album. But I’ll trust your comments (you’re the bigger Bride fan).

When people say traditional metal I think more the NWOBHM influence, otherwise any older band is included.

I thought their forays into grunge and rap metal sucked.

I agree, which for me would be Saint and possibly Barren Cross. All the others could go under different sub genres, but I'm not one to call people out on which band belongs where. It's all subjective.

Sacred Warrior and Bloodgood fit pretty well, as does the first Neon Cross.

Yeah I forgot about Bloodgood, I always lumped Sacred Warrior in the power metal camp but I can see that. I don't recall ever listening to Neon Cross.

I think American style power metal has strong roots in traditional metal but you're right, it's subjective.
