How is your relationship with Jim Peterik, Frank Sullivan and the other Survivor members now? Has there ever been any animosity or bitterness between you and Dave Bickler (who you replaced and took the band to new levels, but then who they asked back when the band came off hiatus in 1993)? They now have Robin McAuley on lead vocals since 2006. Any specific reasons why you are not with Survivor at this time? Does it ever bother you to hear another frontman singing lead vocals on your songs?

Jimi: "No, Dave and I are good friends to this day. Jim and Frank and I still phone occasionally also. I don't feel I was treated fairly when it came to reaping the rewards, so I remain a solo artist."

Is he done with JP??? This sounds quite strange for a new interview.....

That would be terrible if Jimi & Jim were not on the best of terms again. These guys are a great team . Sullivan should make peace with these guys and bring back a real Survivor tour.

Interesting for sure. But I don't think anything is wrong with Jimi and Jim.

Meanwhile, I was reading an earlier interview from back in 2007 and Jimi said he was pretty ok with Reach as an album, but not with the way it was put out. He said it was a rushed to be released and he would have preferred more time on it. But that's odd when he said in 2006 they he waited and waited for FS to get it out. Now that's odd.

Just a guess on my part......

I believe that I read a comment from Jimi in the past where he said that he felt that they should have done more takes of the songs in the studio?

I think that Jimi probably felt that the writing process and preparing to record the album probably took to long, but that once that they were actually in the studio that they may have rushed the recording process too much?
That's just a guess on my part, I may be wrong?

I thought that myself. Perhaps that is what happened.
