It was later covered by THE BYRDS and THE DOOBIE BROTHERS.Asked what made STRYPER want to cover this particular song, Sweet told Ultimate Classic Rock: "We wanted to do a cover on this album. We've done covers through the years obviously, we did an album of covers [2011's 'The Covering'] most recently. "When we look for covers, it's kind of like VAN HALEN did with 'Dancing in the Streets'. People were, like, 'What the heck?' We look for songs that are a little more unique that people might not expect us to cover. "The part of that song that people would, of course, expect are the lyrics and the lyrical content. I mean, it's right down our alley. But musically, it's a little bit different for us, and that's what made it intriguing and interesting to do. "We enjoyed doing that song and we always loved THE DOOBIE BROTHERS' version. "We kind of stayed on the same path in terms of the arrangement, but did our own little STRYPER spin as well.""No More Hell To Pay" track listing:01. Revelation02. No More Hell To Pay03.
