Former STRYPER bassist Tim Gaines' has taken part in a 50 Q&A interview with fans which he posted on his website today. He apparently received a whopping 100 questions that had to be cut down to 50... Who would have thought Gaines would be so popular, not only back then, but now?
Q: What's the funniest/oddest thing that happened while playing for Stryper? Any particular Spinal Tap moment that comes to mind?
A: "During a concert in Australia, a wild and sweaty, one eyed fan in the front row kept screaming at Michael and pointing to (what Michael thought) was a wad of gum that someone had thrown onstage. Michael thought the fan being friendly and was screaming "gooday, gooday". Not wanting to step in the gum Michael bent down and flicked it with his finger and it flew out into the crowd. It turned out that it was not a wad of gum at all. It was the crazed fans glass eye that had popped out onto the stage. He wasn't screaming "gooday, gooday" but rather "my eye, my eye," and then continued to cuss and swear at Michael for the rest of the set."

Stryper is a Grammy Award nominated Christian glam metal band from Orange County, California, USA. Formed in 1983, they are pioneers in the mainstream popularization of Christian metal music.[1] Stryper enjoyed great success during the late 1980s, with one Platinum and two Gold records,[2] before breaking up in 1992 at a time when most metal groups of the 1980s were losing popularity. However, the band reunited in 2003 and are attempting a comeback in the Christian music world.
