Survivor Rocks Dancing With The Stars

[7 Wishes]

Slander, how are things in the parallel/alternate universe from which you came? Give me a break. Robin sounded like shit, he just can't handle Survivor material, and the BAND DIDN'T FUCKING EVEN PLAY!!! It's an atrocity. Do I blame them for still going through with it even if it was the suits insisting they sync the whole damned song? No, exposure is exposure. But with Mediocre McAuley up there, the band got caught with its pants down.

[Slander]

Hey 7 you are such a cliche'. So much for those airplane hangars you were talking about. Dude you were wrong. Just face up to it. If you don't like Mcualey that's fine but good luck trying to tear down the great exposure. The band did just fine. I know it's just killing you.

[silvergirl66]

NOPE...............WRONG THIS TIME 7.......ROBIN WAS GREAT! BAND LOOKED AWESOME! HE CAN HANDLE SURVIVOR MATERIAL, NO PROBLEM......SO SHOVE IT!

[Slander]

You know what I love is all the mentions Survivor is getting in papers and internet articles all over this great nation. I love this one. It's from a sports page in Boston. Read the last part of the article. By the way if you are interested in other articles just go to google news and type in Survivor Eye of The Tiger. Damn I can't wait until the new album. I'm pumped.

Nice photos on the bands site! I like Frankie's hair better short like in the original "eye" video.

[Slander]

I agree. I was pleased with how good they looked. They looked young and vibrant. They looked cool. They looked marketable. That is the key. They look fresh. I'm pleased by the press. I hope this is just the beginning. It is critical they take advantage of this momentum.

Mmmm. Nice. Eloquent and to the point.

Silvergirl66, I don't know you from a hole in the wall, but you have succeeded in making it personal. I'm not going to get drawn into that abyss again, becuase it's pointless. If you disagree with my opinion, that's fine. You took this too far.

[Slander]

Sorry 7. It is you who are always the agressor. You trash this and then you trash that. I take it you have been diagnosed as passive agressive. I don't know about you but I came to this board to talk music. I never came on her spouting my resume or ripping others character. Silver is a big girl and I know she can take care of herself but on this time you are wrong 7!

[7 Wishes]

Slander, you are a stupid sonofabitch. ALL I HAVE BEEN SAYING is that Survivor minus Dave or Jimi is just NOT SURVIVOR. YOU ARE THE INSOLENT SCMUCK who has continued to make personal assaults and question my intelligence, knowledge, opinion, and even my sexuality. Talk about inappropriate. I'm done with you. You just are not worth the time. You're also not particularly bright or insightful. So, with that, Mrs. Slander Sullivan, I sign out.

[Slander]

When the hell did I question your sexuality? Good god man! LOL.

[7 Wishes]

Read some of your previous posts, Mrs. Sullivan. It's plain as day. Once and for all, let's agree to disagree, alright? I'm not rooting against the new lineup working - I don't think it will, but "Survivor" is better than no Survivor.

[Slander]

Hey Poindexter your words come pretty empty. You said Robin sounded like shit. Wow. Your credibility on this issue is gone.

[7 Wishes]

Well, you're certainly an expert at keeping the flame alive. I offered an olive branch and you slapped me in the face. The duel is on, son. Let's get busy. ROBIN DID SOUND LIKE SHIT. In fact, a friend of mine who knows I love Survivor called me during the show and said "who's that dude singing for your band? He's awful!" I don't agree; he has a good voice and a decent catalogue. He just doesn't have the right voice for Survivor.

[Lark]

Please don't get me wrong, I am a Survivor fan, Survivor the music. I have met each and everyone of the band and they are all nice guys. HOWEVER, fresh is not an adjective that I would use to describe any of those guys. The only fresh looking one was Billy O (and maybe Marc). Billy O looked hip and up to date, the rest looked like they were stuck in the 80's, yes they are an 80's band but IMO if they want to make it TODAY, they need to look like they are from TODAY. Grove and Frankie looked like they were separated at birth! Frankie looks old and dated.

This was a chance for a new viewing audience to see the band Survivor, to hear a song that people from 8 to 80 recognize, and they come out looking like they are stuck in a time warp. Puleeez.

On a positive note, I thought they sounded good. I like Robin, he is a super nice guy.

[Slander]

Lark even if what you say is true it still doesn't diminish the exposure! Sorry, it doesn't. 7 says Robin sounds like shit. You say they look like were stuck in the 80's. Fine. Many bands would kill to have this exposure. It just pains you folks to give Frankie and the gang a compliment. Damn! They looked marketable. They looked energized. Robin sounded great. We true Survivor fans know that some of you will never accept the contributions of Mr. Sullivan. I take your so called criticisms with a grain of salt. Survivor is to be commended on this occasion. They indeed rose to the occasion. There is still a lot of life left. Here's to the new album in 2007 and beyond! Now let's rock!

[Red13JoePa]

I don't give a hell if they looked fresh or not, they were there.
Should've been allowed to play all live, though. That fucking sucks. But you take the good with the bad, which with this type of thing means a controlled environment. Note to suits: This isn't one of the popular bands from NOW, Survivor can actually be TRUSTED to play live and not mess up.

[Lark]

Slander, I did not say anything about their talent. You can't take that from them. Yes, it was a chance of a lifetime. Yes, it was great exposure, Yes, Robin sounds great, YES YES YES

However, IMO and I am allowed to have an opinion, they looked dated (all except Billy O, maybe Marc). You have opinions and we respect those, however if anyone's opinion differs from yours, then you label them a Frankie Basher. I wasn't bashing his talent just his cheesy 80's look.

[Slander]

7 Jimi had a good voice and no catalog to speak of before he fronted Survivor. And don't give me Target and Cobra b.s. I truly believe he WASN'T the right voice for Survivor back in the early 90's. Thanks to the song writing talents of Peterik and Sullivan Jamison was allowed to flourish. You probably could have taken the lead singer from let's say Glass Tiger and Vital Signs would have been huge. Jamison was NOT Survivor. Survivor had a following long before Jamison. So don't give me Jamison is the sound of Survivor. The argument just doesn't hold up. Jamison had 5 top 40 hits with Survivor. Survivor had 3 top 40 hits without Jamison. They also had their biggest hit without him. Robin brings a hell of lot more to the table as far as a energy. Robin deserves our support. Survivor is much bigger than just one voice.

[Slander]

Hey Lark. Cheesy would have been Frankie wearing one of those 80's skinny leather ties!

[Lark]

I respect your opinion Slander, however wrong it may be!!! ha ha

[Slander]

Lark I'm wrong a lot! I just like things to be fair and balanced on the board.

[Lark]

Wouldn't that be so boring, if everyone had the same thoughts, same opinions, same likes, same dislikes. What about lively conversation where differences of opinions only add to the value of the content. Nothing here is unfair or unbalanced, just differences of opinion. Some of us love a lively, challenging conversation while there are others that take differences of opinions so personal, as if any negative views of the band were aimed directly at them. Doesn't it make you wonder why?

[7 Wishes]

Slander, your approach is as "fair and balanced" as Fox News and HANNITY and Colmes.

[Slander]

Sorry 7 I don't watch the FAUX News Channel. I am fair and balanced. I respect the talent of all Survivor members current and former. I just don't choose to worship Jimi.

[7 Wishes]

Frankie, I mean, Slander, you certainly have no problem primping yourself in front of the mirror like a strutting peacock 24/7.

[Slander]

Why can't we just celebrate the tradition that is Survivor? The great tradition will continue in 2007 with a terrific album that will solidify the bands reputation as one of the hardest working and enduring groups of the genre.

[7 Wishes]

"The great tradition will continue in 2007 with a terrific album that will solidify the bands reputation."

I certainly hope so. Maybe Robin can prove us all wrong.

"...one of the hardest working and enduring groups of the genre."

Which genre is that? 80's bands that had two songs on Rocky soundtracks? Because Frankie "Cancellation" Sullivan and "Survivor" has put out exactly ONE record since the Reagan administration. I'VE released two CD's since 1988, for the love of God, and I haven't been able to quit my day job. My buddy and I would keep each other appraised every couple of weeks on the status of the "survivormusic.com" board that Frankie so laboriously decided to update twice a year while the "band" "worked" on the next record for seven years.

The best thing about Frankie's 25-minute guitar "solo" on "Summer Nights" is that it lets you take a whizz, let your kid do #1 AND #2, buy a beer, get a pretzel and a coke, go to the water slide, play T-ball, go under the water sprinkler, and get back to the stage and still get to see Frankie self-indulge for five minutes.

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


You're kidding. Please tell me you are, right?

[Slander]

Now wait a minute JOPA. Bands of this genre of music have come and gone. Am I wrong? Should we start naming some of the bands that are RIP from this genre? Survivor is working 30 years after it formed. It is a testament to the bands commitment. Do I wish that more albums have been put out? Absolutely. I am convinced that the band is dedicated to providing fans with a productive 2007. Then again I'm also convinced that their are some on this board that will never be satisfied. Yes the music does endure. Eye of the Tiger is one of the most downloaded songs on I-Tunes. You guys are supposed to be fans of the group yet you don't celebrate their success.

[Andrew]

I'm glad (as a long time fan) that Survivor continue on...but to call them hard working is a big stretch.

I'd use names like Journey, Styx, REO, Gotthard, Harem Scarem, Bon Jovi, Cheap Trick etc to describe hard working.

One new album in 18 years and a few shows a year is NOT hard working!
