Hey guys seriously, any news from Stephan Ellis ?

I heard he played Harmonica as a special guest on a "Spider & Snakes" concert.

"Entitled Hollywood Ghosts, the album features 12 BRAND NEW STUDIO TRACKS with guest appearances from Angelo Moore from FISHBONE on saxophone, Stephen Ellis from SURVIVOR on harmonica and Matt Cross formerly of the band N.Y.C. on bass."

http://www.spidersandsnakes.net/news.htm


He was the one who didn't speak often, but he was a real Survivor member. A "Killer" bassman.. just listen to the songs Poor Man's Son and the Demo of Eye Of The Tiger on the Rocky III Opening and closing credits (The bass is real present on this version).

Hope to see him maybe as a guest astrist with Jim and World Stage.

Hey dude, I do not believe much is known about his playing though over the past 3-4 years I heard he's done some live dates and a little bit of recording not alot though.

Steph didn't leave the band on very good terms from what he said and his playing was falling off by the end of his tenure (1997) as he wasn't up for all the touring (they did alot back then much more than in the 2000's with Jamo).

Steph never was a GREAT player, he just wasn't and others would tell you the same thing who are in the know or in the industry. I met him a couple times and found him to be more than cool and a funny guy.

He's also the oldest member of the band past-present I believe and hell, who wants to be touring 40-50 times a year when your in your mid-late 50's???
I hope he's doing well but, thats the scoop. far as I know and heard.

I'm sure by 1982-1987, He was one of the best bassist of the moment.
If you see the Japan Live show in 1985, wow!!, see the chemestry with his good pal Marc.
Look carefully to the bassline on the solo of see you in everyone by Frankie. damm the bae basslines are too good.

So, to be honest.. Maybe he's not the best this time... but in the 1982-1987, he was on the top 20 bassist.

Be careful GI Jim....The grass is always greener on the other side, unless Stephen Ellis has been there. In that case the grass is most likely soaked in blood and tears.
