Plenty of heavy metal musicians have dated porn, um, actresses, but Stryper guitarist Oz Fox is gonna one up ’em –the axman will marry Annie Lobért, a 41-year-old who used to be a high-class hooker. The couple met in February 2008, and will be married this Friday in Las Vegas.
But here’s the kicker: Stryper has always been a Christian metal band and Lobért is the founder of Hookers for Jesus, a Vegas ministry that aims to help victims of sex trafficking.
According to her website, Hookers for Jesus, Lobért spent 11 years as a prostitute and dancer in Hawaii, Minneapolis and Las Vegas, boasting a John list that included celebrities and professional athletes. After suffering through all the horrors associated with the business, she quit in 1998 at the insistence of a regular client. She now spreads her word through interviews, lectures and an upcoming autobiography entitled, what else but ‘Hooker for Jesus.’ Stryper is set to release the album ‘Murder by Pride’ in July, and tour this fall.
Annie Lobert is no stranger, she is a good friend of Heather Veitch and she has helped some girls in the porn industry. Brooke Balantine and Sophia Lynn comes to mind. She seems like a cool person.
Christian metal my ass. I’d love to get to these christian metallers personally and fist fuck their throats untill their teeth meet my raw elbow. Maybe then they could understand metal has got nothing to do with christianity. These two things cannot coexist and if you combine them the end result would be a lame joke; like The Islamic Rebublic of Fucking Iran. What democracy and republic got to do with islam?
On another note, last night I was at Mayhem concert. They destroyed House of Blues Sunset, and after I got back home, I was out of my fucking mind untill morning, constantly drinking and listening to ‘Freezing Moon’. Man that’s some seriously evil music.
“Christian” and “Metal” should never be mentioned in the same sentence — unless it’s something like, “Christian televangelist, Pat Robertson, was run over by the tour bus of [death/black/speed, etc.] metal band, [insert your favorite artist here]…”
Shauwww! [while throwin’ horns]
Stryper was around on MTV when I was in elementary school and even back then everyone goofed on them. They wore matching black-and-yellow suits; I think it was a bee motif of some kind. Imagine if someone took the hooks and cool make-up away from KISS then added an unwanted dose of Sunday school moralizing (“To Hell With The Devil”), and you had Stryper. Calling them Hair Metal was even a stretch. Their continued existence on the fringes of D-list rock and their nuptials to former call girls is irrelevant to readers of Lukeisback and probably even Spinner.com, where the piece originated.
