I'm kind of impressed with Del Vecchio on this track doing the lead guitars (he's played keys and bass on a lot of Frontiers releases, but I don't know if I remember him recording guitars before), it's not exactly the hardest rhythm guitar part, but the solo was quite good and didn't over-power the track. I dig this song, really looking forward to hearing more.

I actually had no idea who he was lol. But I agree, it didn't overpower the track. They have a nice smooth sound. And Michael's voice works perfect with this.
I actually went on Amazon after I posted the video and pre-ordered the CD

Michael has a great voice, always hits those notes. I only buy Stryper stuff, and a few of his solo albums. But he's still got it.
I think Dale is in the lead on numbers, but Michael is charging up behind him.

The difference between the two's work is that Michael's always seems spot on and Dale's having mixed results. Some of Dale's solo stuff with The Reconciled, N.O.G., and Perpetual Paranoia are strong projects. But then you have his first Boon Dogs albums, the new Jagged Doctrine, and Iron 501 that were just not that good or interesting. Dale's projects are truly hit or miss with little middle ground, and Michael consistently puts out quality work.

Another single for the upcoming Soledriver project with Michael and Alessandro. This one is giving me some early 80's Rainbow or even Foreigner kind of vibes.

This must the the project her was talking about when he said it was more along the lines of Journey than metal. Two songs so far are pretty good.
