 In June 1987, the members of Stryken were detained by police after disrupting a Mötley Crüe concert in San Antonio, Texas.Carrying a large wooden cross and clad in full body armor (inspired by the theological teaching of the "Armor of God" as found in the sixth chapter of the New Testament book, Ephesians), Stryken first proselytized concertgoers outside of the venue and then proceeded inside to the front of the stage.After being detained by police, the band was released without charges.
