Survivor vs. Bryan Adams

[Journey/Survivor]

What a joke.

One guy is a living legend, on his way to the HOF, and the other band is famous for a fake Boxer.

Kiss my hairy unwiped ass.

Journey aren't in the HOF yet, so don't hold your breath on BA.

BA's biggest hit came from a movie too.

[Journey/Survivor]

As of RIGHT now there are 5 fucked up people...BA wastes Jimi, Dickler and the other ass clown singers Strawvivor has had. This is stupid. Ban people that don't vote for BA...even if he is Canadian.

No one who knows anything about singing would ever rank BA ahead of Jimi Jamison. Jamison is right there with Perry at the top of the list. And Dave Bickler's a damn great Rock singer as well. If your talking about a ballad then maybe BA could do as well as Bickler, but Bickler's way more of a Rocker.

I was trashed when I wrote that. However, there is no way that Survivor is better than BA. One Night Love Affair, Run To You, Heaven, Somebody and Summer of 69 are pretty much better than Survivor's entire body of work. And I too, think Jimi Jamison is great. Bickler sucked and had one good song with them so quit tooting his horn. Jamison made that band a powerhouse name. Prior to him they were merely one hit wonders.

I guess it just boils down to variances in musical taste. Everyone has the right to like who they like. I get fucked with at work regularly for liking Journey for crying out loud. Fuck them, I'm going to shove Journey down their throats every chance I get!

Your ass should be bounced out of Chicago for saying that.

Survivor's damn near as good as Journey (if a little more underpublicized due their idle leader/guitarist).

I like Survivor a LOT, dude. It's just that "Reckless" alone yielded more hits and memorable songs than Survivor's entire body of work. Get Jamison's sack off your chin and you could probably make a more informed, impartial decision.

Survivor's hit songs...

Eye Of The Tiger #1 on the Billboard chart for 8 weeks in a row. One of the biggest selling and most historical Rock songs ever.
Burning Heart #2 for I think 4 weeks straight on the Billboard chart.
The Search Is Over #4 on the Billboard chart
High On You #8 on the Billboard chart.
Is This Love #9 on the Billboard chart
I Can't Hold Back # 13 on the Billboard chart
American Heartbeat #17 on the Billboard chart.
Poor Man's Son #33 on the Billboard chart

Other Survivor songs that charted...
Somwhere In America
Summer Nights
The One That Really Matters
Caught In The Game
The Moment Of Truth
First Night
How Much Love
Man Against The World
Didn't Know It Was Love
Across The Miles

[AntonioDJ]

Caught in the Game was a Bickler album and one of Survivor's best. Looks like all the action happens here it seems. I posted Harem Scarem's Rain video in that forum if anyone is a fan.

[Journey/Survivor]

I like Survivor sometimes, but other times they just don't agree with me, like Eye of the Tiger. I think their best record was Vital Signs. Bryan Adams is consistent and constantly good.

Survivor have never had a bad song, ever. Even Journey have had a few sub par songs over the years, and keep in mind I'm as big of a Journey fan as anyone in the world.

Survivor had 8 in the Top 40 in 25 years. Reckless alone had 6. This debate is over.

[Journey/Survivor]

Although I like a lot of Survivor stuff like Is This Love, Popular Girl, High On You, American Heartbeat, etc....you just can't argue with BA's catalogue. Especially when ya team him up with Mutt Lange. Pure genius and solid gold.
So guess who I voted for.

BA has had a number of good songs over the years. I don't have anything against him. I really do enjoy some of his songs. But he's not in Survivor's league as being near the very top of Melodic Rock music.

Dude, um..... cheers bro.

[Journey/Survivor]

I honestly can't believe so many people voted for Survivor.

I would say that I can't believe how many people voted for BA, except that for some completelly unexplainable reason Dick-head-Deano is worshiped on here, and therefore his blind sheep followers are voting for BA.

[Journey/Survivor]

Andrew! Say it isn't SO!!! A wannabe Journey band over BA? GHAAA!!! Turn in your man card!!

Here's where it gets interesting...
Stack Survivor's catalogue against Journey's and I PERSONALLY think there are less fillers in the Survivor albums than there are with Journey's catalogue.
And you know what - I prefer Survivor's ballads over Journey's

There ya go!!

Agreed!

And "The search Is Over" tops even "Open Arms" and "Faithfully" as an all time great ballad.

I'm not as into ballads as much as harder Rocking music, but "The Search Is Over" is the perfect Rock ballad of all time.

TWO BIT COCKSUCKER!

Dude, seriously. Survivor? Give me a fucking break. Byut then again, you hold Toto in high regard, so consider the source.


Whatever, my boy BA is releasing new music, touring large venues, and going to the HOF. Meanwhile Survivor is alive on a MR forum only.

Andrew, the members in BA's band ALL are better than Survivors guys and YOU know it.

Survivor's guitarist Frankie Sullivan is a way better guitarist than who ever BA's guitarist is. And the same goes for Survivor's drummer Marc Droubay being a much better Rock drummer than Ba's drummer.

Open Arms? Yes Faithfully? No way. Faithfully is much better than TSIO. Both great, but Faithfully has those once in a lifetime vocals/lyrics.

[Journey/Survivor]

So you Survivor fags...your argument for Survivor is that "they were alot like Journey, or sounded like Journey." You have got to be fucking kidding. The Outfield was compared to Journey much more than Survivor.

Funny you mention that..

When Jimi Jamison was here he mentioned after "The Search Is Over" that when groupies came up to him in the '80s they said "Oh my God...I thought that was a Journey song". Good laugh from the crowd and he seemed very pleased that he was in that realm with Journey. Hell...who wouldn't be?

That's true to an extent. But I've heard many people over the years who thought that Eye Of The Tiger is by Journey.

Even I am not sure about that....Keith Scott is phenomenal....and Mickey Curry on drums...phenomenal....Tommy Mandel on keys....phenomenal

On www.last.fm I believe "Eye of the Tiger" is the 65th-most-listened to Journey track, with "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight" being #18.

Since we have to ask now...maybe you should contact Drew and explain that you screwed up on your screen name and would like to change the placement..."Dear Andrew, I would like to have your permission to change my screen name. Now that I think about it I was a knucklehead and should have put Survivor before Journey...I want to be real with where I'm comin' from man, and represent..yo!".

Oh I know it's Survivor. I'm just illustrating the incompetence of music fans, as well as the fact that a lot of people think Journey did the track.

Yes, it's anonymous, but if someone's on the fence between the two, and their a deano worshiper, then their gonna vote the way they know he would.

Mickey Curry's a damn good drummer. Hell, that's who Survivor got to play on their Too Hot To Sleep album after Droubay left Survivor. But I never thought that Curry quite had the same ballsy sound on the album that Droubay provides.

There are only a very small handfull of guitarists who play with as much or more feeling as Frankie Sullivan, Neal Schon being one of them. But Frankie's as great of a riff guitarist as there is.

Page
Blackmore
Clapton
You name them
Frankie sullivan's right there with any of them for riffs and rhythm guitar playing.

You'll have a problem with me when I tell you that Sullivan is several notches below Blackmore, Page, and Clapton.

Seriously dude, that's a bit crazy. I can name lots of guitarists superior to Sullivan. BUT THEN AGAIN....

....I can name plenty that Sullivan is better than, easy.

[Rick]

I remember Bryan Adams opened for Journey on the '83 tour. Reunion Arena was fucking packed! He came out and started playing, and I guess the crowd was there to see Journey, so they were just mildly into Bryan. About the 3rd song BA gets up to the mic and screams "What the fuck is wrong with you Dallas? Lets rock!" And the place went nuts! He was excellent on that show. He was climbing all over the railings and going up into the audience and running around. Fucking crazy. The crowd sure loved it. What a great concert that was. Journey was on fire that night. The only gripe I had was that Journey were playing everything at hyperspeed. Outside of that, it was an excellent concert.

Well, remember I said that Sullivan is right there with those guys for riffs and rhythm, which he is. But I didn't say all around. Hey, my older brother is the biggest Deep Purple/Ritchie Blackmore fan there is, I grew up hearing everything that Purple and Rainbow ever recorded about a million times each. I love Led Zep and Clapton too. Frankie Sullivan is one of the most underrated Rock guitarists ever.
