Pride of Lions Interview

Andrew's interview with Jim was incredibly thorough. It got me to thinking more about Peterik. Here is an interview he and Toby gave recently. Read closely.

JOPA did this guy have way too much time on his hands or what? Actually I enjoyed the take.

An interesting interview, but what am I missing that you pointed out to "read closely?"

There's a new interview on melodicrock.com. The first question is about his thoughts about the new Survivor lineup with Robin...

What feeling do you keep about this experience : Nostalgy, Proudness, Regrets ... ?

I am proud of the Survivor legacy and the songs that live on. I regret that it could have been even bigger if the whole band was on the same page.

I wonder what Jim meant when he says if the whole band could have been on the same page.

Well, to me when JP fired Marc D. was when it all went wrong. FS and MD are close buddies for SO F'ing LONG, its could never be the same. Just rambling with some thoughts. Peace!

Marcel, I wasn't aware that JP fired Marc. Fill me in.

Marc mentioned it CLEARLY, back during the "JJ Survivor" fiasco days (. It was quoted at their old site (circa 1999). Marc is a gem of a guy (IMO) and he says it like it is. No BS.

man...i loved those old days when Marc posted on the board all the time...it was a lot of fun and you could find out so much...that's even back when Frankie would even get on the board...post and answer questions....I guess that's also what ruined it for a lot of us...Frankie did so much JJ bashing on that board and then it was like wham...he's back....I think frankie learned his lesson as well, since then even when he did notes, he was not as open...it's a shame....it make it a lot of fun, and let's face it...when you don't tour a lot and you don't put out albums and all we have is the past to hold to...you have to have something...that was a great nitch....kind of like a blog, before blogging....

OK, now I'm intrigued.
What REASON did Peterik give for clipping Marc Droubay when that happened?

I happen to think Droubay is top 3 in the bizness...WTF? Hit's too hard, too fast, not pop enough? JMJ. :roll:

For the former, no reason was given. Better to forget I guess. Whatever the reason, probably hit FS hard in the sense, enough so that FS decided he'll carry on without Jim and finally get Marc back! Meanwhile, I always wondered how DB decided to hang with FS for six years, when it was JP who brought DB into the fold in the first place. JP intrigues more than anyone :twisted:

As for your latter comment...I don't get it :oops:

It happened ...he did it. they moved on was still great but not the same. Glad for the band now they have purged the problems and the bad vibes and everyone is doing what they want now.

Good to see. Time to listen to Premonition. and the 90's demo tunes (if I can still make this disc work). lol

Funny.....Jim told me he never fired Marc. Stephen Ellis was removed for various "personal problems". Besides if Frankie is Alpha and Omega in Survivor, as some want everyone to believe,how could Jim make any move without Frankie's ok? Can't wait to hear the spindoctoring on that one.

Marc stated it Survivor's website. I'll take that over someone "tellling" that he was NOT. And its NOT Funny.

What are you getting at? Please clarify.

BTW, were you personally involved with Survivor before? :?:

by **axecrew** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 12:26 pm

Ok marcel I'll repeat myself in even plainer english......I've known Jim Peterik for 20 years and find him to be an honest and upstanding person.And one of the most unpretentious people I've ever met.
I'll take the word of someone I've spoken to face to face over the word on an internet site, where anyone could write it and pretend to be someone else.
As for the alpha and omega comment well......... I guess it's time for you to go to school.......Alpha and omega are the begining and end of the Greek alphabet. Therefore if Francis Xavier Sullivan is the begining and ending of all things Survivor,as he and his minions on here would like you to believe, then it reasons that NO decision was/is made without his complete approval. It also stands to reason that if that is the case and Marc was fired...it was done with Francis' total approval. But lets pretend he didn't have anything to do with it.....You're telling me that the person who is anal retentive about everything concerning Survivor and likes to control all aspects of the band,business and musical,would not be consulted or have any say in the firing of a band member? The same guy who has sued everyone on earth for breathing his air,wasn't allowed to have a say in a personel decision.BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!! If marc was fired you can bet Sullivan either ok'd it or did it.

Look dude. Cool it! Why do you assume someone else wrote that when it was mentioned by Marc himself? Unfortunately you were not involved in the conversation that took place where Marc stated same in HIS section of the Forum at Survivor official site.

"Therefore if Francis Xavier Sullivan is the begining and ending of all things Survivor,as he and his minions on here would like you to believe, then it reasons that NO decision was/is made without his complete approval."

Sullivan was NOT A and O when Marc was fired. It was Jim who was at that time.

"I've known Jim Peterik for 20 years and find him to be an honest and upstanding person."

Until you reveal who YOU are, I can't take you seriously. Sorry.

by **axecrew** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 8:39 am

Who are you?
Yes I've also talked to marc and he told me the same thing. He was also drunk at the time. Show me yours and I might show you mine.
And by the way I love how you just ignore most of my post,could it be that there's truth, you would rather not admit, in there?

by **Slander** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 9:10 am

Axe what does Marc being drunk have to do with anything?

I ignored the rest of it is due the FACT that FS was NOT A and O of Survivor when Marc was fired so your point has no case.

The only thing I can admit is being INVOLVED at the previous Official Survivor site where Marc stated he was fired. You really have no case.

When I mentioned Marc said he was fired YOU suddenly pop out of nowhere and tell me Jim said he didn't fire Marc. If Jim was so concerned of being called liar, where was he at the Survivor official website or his website to deny that?

Finally you state Frankie and his minions. If you are so disgusted with FS then I suggest you stick with praising Jim P and stop blasting FS. I support the band and glad they're out there. Im here to SUPPORT the present Survivor and will CONTINUE to do so as LONG as they're around.

BTW, Im not calling Jim P. a liar, its YOU who ASSUME I do. I just doubt the validity of what JP supposedly told you. Until he STATES publicly he did not fire Marc, there is nothing more to discuss.

Maybe (let me stress that) MAYBE Marc never spoke to him? :roll:
