Yeah kind of like Gallagher's brother touring as the comedian Gallagher. I have no problem with JJ touring as former Survivor vocalist but I have a problem when things get blurred. Listen I drove 8 hours in 2008 to see Survivor. Survivor was on my ticket stub! There was a pic of frankie, marc, etc. I show up and it's JJ with a band that seemed thrown together. JJ was fine. The band was not. I take issue with this. Sorry.
#1, he IS touring as former Survivor vocalist. It says "Survivor's Jimi Jamison" not "Survivor."
You do also realize that it was confirmed that that show you went to expecting to see Survivor and got Jimi was because Survivor pulled OUT of the gig and they got Jimi to replace them, right?
Had it not been for Jamison, there would've BEEN no show, yet "Survivor" gets the pass and you mock Jamison for covering their slithery asses on the spur of the moment.
freaking gross, dude.
Let's say you are right. That's what happened. I wish there would not have been in show.
