JJ announces he has rejoined Survivor

[bulldog]

I would have to same that during Crossroads Moment recording that Peterik really helped to bring Jimi Jamison's voice back on par to where it used to be. His voice had full power and emotion . I really love the Kimball / Jamison cd a lot but Jimi's voice seemed to not have that excitement or power on most of the tracks. His high end is what made him have that magical sound .

I can't really see a kicking Survivor cd without Peterik's sound and flare .

I'd love to have JP on board, as long as he reigned things in a bit and kept the theatrics and cheese at home.

Great insight JV...thanks...and a great point...can you imagine Dave singing Pride of Lions stuff?

[Eyeof]

On that note JV, could Dave still do an album with Frankie (I mean all else aside) or is he too far out of that range?

It must have been very hard for Grove to go from 2-5 dates a year to 250 dates a year...wow...

Would you guys rather see JJ back in FS's Surivor, or Dave Bickler an album with JP?

The key to JP's tunes is the abilty to have a singer STRETCH his range out to Hi C and Beyond....

Dave is not doing that anymore, you would not want that album....

BUT..Dave doing his own thing would be cool...

JV you're one smart cookie with that added perceptive and experience with JP we just don't have! Im a big fan of DB but clearly he can't belt it out like he did before (atleast not in an extended full album choc a bloc of that Survivor pace that is required). A solo album would be better for Dave as you've said.
