The Survivor website ha been counting down for months and we all watched as it hit zero...then started counting up. Nothing happened.
I love Frankie as an artist but he has dragged Survivor fans down a path of disappointment after disappointment. He has been a poor steward of the Survivor brand. One album in the last twenty years. Live shows dominated by self-indulgent guitar solos (20 minutes of an hour show!). Teasing us about new material and the latest failed web countdown. Jim Peterik is the only person promoting the brand of Survivor whether or not he had permission. Frankie should be thanking Jim for keeping the name alive because Frankie keeps hammering nails into this band's coffin.
Every time Frankie starts to feel irrelevant he sues someone as if it's someone else's fault he can't seem to do anything meaningful with the Survivor brand.
God, I'm through defending Frankie. He needs to produce some new material AND RELEASE IT and quit dangling a now rotting carrot in front of our noses.
How many songs/albums does he have that are just rotting on a shelf or hard drive somewhere because he can't be bothered to do something for those of us who have stood behind him for decades now?
An artist who doesn't create any new art isn't an artist any more. Survivor has been relegated to being a tribute band to their own aging music.
Okay. Rant over.

Right.
I don't bother to further comment on the legal stuff...I don't really care and I don't think is of any relevance really. I am much more bothered about the false promises that keep coming to us. And ALSO, what the fuck had happened with mighty Marc?? It's time to set it straight

The sad thing is there are enough Survivor former band mates that they could put together the original Survivor, but it will never happen and with out that who really cares.
Return to Survivor / Jim Peterik / Toby Hitchcock / Pride Of Lions / Marc Scherer / Sir Jimi (RIP)
