A BRIEF BIO
Pastor Brad is exactly who he sounds like, a Pastor named Brad–who is also an 80s style, Christian metal recording artist. Growing up during the golden age of metal, Brad picked up the guitar in 1982. In 1987 he became a Christian, a decision that revolutionized his life & continues to do so to this day. In 2004 he launched Pastor Brad Rocks as a platform for sharing his music with the world. To date, Brad has released more than two hundred songs!
Brad has been blessed to work with several of his heroes! Richard Lynch & Dee Harrington (SAINT) appear on several songs on RESHREDDED (2006). Les Carlsen (Bloodgood) laid the lead vocal on HE LOVES ME (BREAK OUT, 2010) & Ken Tamplin contributed the lead vocal on TURN UP THE LIGHT (BREAK OUT 2010).
CHRISTIAN METAL PASTOR
Being both a Christian Pastor & a Hard Rock/Metal artist/music fan, Brad has a stong desire to serve the “heavy music” community. The Primary Aim of The Pastor Brad Rocks Channel is to Rock You (everyone) Up for Jesus with Classic Style Christian Hard Rock & Metal Music, & Practical Bible Teaching. Pastor Bob Beeman of Sanctuary International is another “Christian Metal Pastor” (who I respect deeply). My hope is that this channel, in concert with others like Pastor Bob’s will serve the Christian Hard Music Community well and reach Hard Rock & Metal Spiritual Seekers–with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
HOW TO DESCRIBE PASTOR BRAD’S MUSIC?
If you tossed Stryper, KISS, Iron Maiden, Whitecross, AC/DC, Barren Cross, Metallica, Idle Cure, Motley Crue, Petra, Judas Priest, SAINT, Ozzy Osbourne, Theocracy, Van Halen, Ken Tamplin, Scorpions, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Angus Young, Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss into a CHRISTIAN BLENDER and they came out playing Christian Hard Rock and Classic Metal Music, you’d have Pastor Brad’s classic 80s style Christian Hair Metal Music!

As a fellow “soldier under command”. I approve of this video❤.
Hi Pastor Brad heres more trivia for you. On Billy Powells Band Vision he was Skynyrds piano player & that Rick Cua was bass player fir Randy Stonehill!
This was a tremendous year for Christian rock…all great albums I still have almost every one on Vinyl except I never heard of Tyrant or Philadelphia (I will check them out). I've seen Ric Cua live. Loved the Stryper segment live and seen them a bunch of times. I'm glad you knew about Paul Gilbert playing lead on two songs on the outstanding Daryl Mansfield album (probably a close second to Stryper) because not many would know this fact, amen. Please check out the 1985 album by a favorite band of mine called "In 3D"/album is titled "No Glasses Required" on YouTube " (slightly reminds me of "The Police"). Excellent video Brad, as usual and thank you so much for sharing – God bless.
Thanks, Pastor Brad! Always looking for more Christian Rock/ Metal Music 🎶! I am also a guitarist. So, this is great information! Christian Rock 🪨 Metal Rules!!! Praise Jesus!
Great video but i was surprised you didn't mention The Messiah Prophet Band? Also where did you find that Stryper video at the end?
