Thank you Reggie Jackson....Unfortunately JP is with the Orioles now, not the Yankees! I hope you guys get my reference here.


I never knew Reggie Jackson played for the Orioles. I thought he just played for the Yankees, A's, and Angels. You learn something new everyday here.

Once again utter horseshite. But you are entitled to your opinions no matter how misguided. I have most of JP's stuff. I love a lot of it. Some it I don't. It's hit or miss. He does put a lot of PRODUCT out there. No doubt. I wish it were more consistent. I love the first POL and then the follow up misses the mark for example. JP is a great talent but HE AIN'T THE BEATLES! So quit making him out to be a god. I will buy the JJ album. The samples sound solid but let's not turn it into Vital Signs Part 2.


Sullivan/Peterik is much better than those two commies Lennon/McCartney.

Yup 1976. It wasn't a very good year for the STRAW THAT STIRS THE DRINK!

Axe....respectfully....when you win a grammy, have a worldwide following, sell millions of albums and oh yea, have millions in the bank you an make that statement....I think you have no right or resume to make that statement....

"You can't make it as an artist if you're unwilling to promote your band."

Depends on what promotion is to you.....At this point Frankie could care less how many albums he sells....what he works on he does for the love of it.....its about passion....NOT money....

"How many albums joe gonna sell if no one knows about it?"

I could are less how many I sell....I am making an album to fulfill a need I have internally to expose my emotions and thoughts in an artistic manner....

"I want the truth about what caused the band to go south....not the crap that we've been given"

That is never gonna happen....he amount of people that know that is less than about 10......and I know I am not saying nothing!!!! I respect all involved, so it is between them....I know you want the truth, but you aren't going to get it.....

I hope you take these answers with the spirit they are intended with.....not looking for a war, not looking for a fight.....I was brought up and I wanted to respond....

Thanks Axe.....JV


Ya know joe......I wasn't going to even respond,but then I got a private message and decided to go ahead and respond anyway.
Thank you.....You and slander have made me see the light. So congratulations to the both of you because as of now,due to both of you,I officially don't give a flying fuck about that band. I'm tired of being told I have no opinion by slander and being told I have no right to my opinion by you. And that is what you did in your last post...told me I have no right to my opinion because MY credentials aren't good enough. Where's your grammy at Joe? WHAT!!!??? you don't have one??? Then how can you have an opinion???
You two go on and continue your man-love for all things sullivan, but for much different reasons I'm sure.....Slander's...No idea. Your's.....oh I'm sure I know the idea and reason behind it.

I'm equally tired of the "I've got a secret" bullshit, who cares? You're just dying to tell because everytime the subject comes up, we get the same response,even when no one ask for it, " I know what happened,I'm 1 of maybe 10 who know the truth,but I respect all involved and won't ever tell." Who cares? So you are/were on the inside, congratulations!!! If we're gonna play that game how's this...
I know how much you told another and myself that you were paying sullivan to produce your album. All it did was further our opinion of why he was doing it. But I won't tell what you said out of respect. How's that? Did I play it right or well?
Anyway.......Survivor is dead as far as I'm concerned, it died back in the mid-90's and anything the frankie sullivan band does from here on out in both immaterial and insignifigant to me. They could win that coveted grammy you talk of joe and I still won't give two shits....
so congratulations to both you and slander.....you win.....happy?......proud?.....who cares!

:twisted: Enough ..

1. Jimi Jamison still sounds awesome and he is giving the fans and himself a chance to be back in the spotlight . Yes this is 2008 and his music might not make the American airways but he still has it.

2. Jim Peterik continues to make great music and I am sure he doesn't have to work that hard. His name is attached to some of the greatest songs of the 80's bar none.
Co-written or wrote himself 18 top 10 hits.

3. Survivor is ??? I am not sure maybe they are just a touring band now .


Like Joe Vana said Frankie has made millions and probably just does it for fun.. There is no need for constant touring . Survivor will never be what they were . Frankie would be better off singing himself on a solo cd with his blues stuff .

Everyone should be happy these guys are still working . Survivor is not DEAD !!!
They just ain't the real Survivor .

I don't know why there has to be all of the constant arguments, and that goes for BOTH sides?!

I think that anyone is honest in the matter knows that Survivor was at it's best when both Peterik and Sullivan are in the band. Sadly, Peterik is no longer in the band.

Survivor is still Survivor, although I'll grant you that it doesn't feel as much like Survivor.

I wish that Frank would (the way things appear to me anyway) take things a little more seriously with Survivor. What I mean by that is that they would make more effort to release more albums, and tour more. And no, it's not really that difficult to do. I know that Survivor would not make the same kind of money by releasing a new album as they did in the 1980's. But if Jamison can make money off of a new album at this time, then I'm sure Survivor could too.

But I also have to question why Peterik would sell off his shares in the band? It was just as much his band as it was Sullivan's. Sadly, he did sell-off his ownership in the band, and therefore Survivor is whatever lineup that Sullivan decides to go with. Survivor will never feel as much like SURVIVOR to me without Peterik, but the Jamison/Peterik album will never feel totally like SURVIVOR to me without Sullivan.

They all need to put their damn ego's aside and act like mature adults.

But in the mean time I also don't see what us here on this forum are accomplishing by constantly bitching about the band members?

I'm sick of reading the constant arguments, and I know that I'm not alone on that.

He is recieving ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankie NEVER asked for a dime, we are working together because we are FRIENDS....He has come to 30 plus sessions all on his dime and has NEVER asked for a thing.....Total Class......so whatever you heard is crap.....and because your info is NOT first hand knowledge it is bullshit....opinions are great....I respect your opinion....but don't spout facts, and don't spout who gets paid what unless you KNOW....not what you hear....I don't speak about things I hear, only what I know....big difference....

I respect all opinions on here, and only ask the same.....but again, facts are a dangerous thing unless you know them to be true.....JV

All else is cool with me....but don't fucking spew lies and bullshit as to what FS is getting paid.....JV



And the band will continue on just fine without you......

In Jim Peterik's defense he has NEVER EVER commented negatively about FS, or the band since he left.....and FS has not either about JP......only JJ and FS back and forth with JJ leading that one.....BUT....JP has always taken the high ground, and I will always respect that about him.....

I believe Frankie when he said he's open to working with JP sometime, you can never say never. Lets just let these guys do what they have to do. Here's my wish. Before all is said and done, before they both decide to rest their feet, perhaps work on one tune, just ONE TUNE, that takes the world by storm. I think its ENTIRELY possible.

What I "heard " was told to me by YOU. So were you lying to me and mike at the pre-show party last year before South Bend? You told us then and I quote " Frankie's not being paid a dime to do this." That was in response to my comment that it must've cost a bundle to get him to do it.
And it's pretty convienent that sullivan didn't get involved in your project until after it was announced that Peterik was doing Jamison's.
What a nice way to tweak a situation and claim innocence.
And you are ever so correct...Survivor doesn't need me....the REAL band is dead.

I hope you take these answers with the spirit they are intended with.....not looking for a war, not looking for a fight.....I was brought up and I wanted to respond....

Thanks Axe.....JV



I know how much you told another and myself that you were paying sullivan to produce your album. All it did was further our opinion of why he was doing it. But I won't tell what you said out of respect. How's that? Did I play it right or well?
Anyway.......Survivor is dead as far as I'm concerned, it died back in the mid-90's and anything the frankie sullivan band does from here on out in both immaterial and insignifigant to me. They could win that coveted grammy you talk of joe and I still won't give two shits....
so congratulations to both you and slander.....you win.....happy?......proud?.....who cares!


He is recieving ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankie NEVER asked for a dime, we are working together because we are FRIENDS....He has come to 30 plus sessions all on his dime and has NEVER asked for a thing.....Total Class......so whatever you heard is crap.....and because your info is NOT first hand knowledge it is bullshit....opinions are great....I respect your opinion....but don't spout facts, and don't spout who gets paid what unless you KNOW....not what you hear....I don't speak about things I hear, only what I know....big difference....

I respect all opinions on here, and only ask the same.....but again, facts are a dangerous thing unless you know them to be true.....JV

All else is cool with me....but don't fucking spew lies and bullshit as to what FS is getting paid.....JV



And the band will continue on just fine without you......


What I "heard " was told to me by YOU. So were you lying to me and mike at the pre-show party last year before South Bend? You told us then and I quote " Frankie's not being paid a dime to do this." That was in response to my comment that it must've cost a bundle to get him to do it.
And it's pretty convienent that sullivan didn't get involved in your project until after it was announced that Peterik was doing Jamison's.
What a nice way to tweak a situation and claim innocence.
And you are ever so correct...Survivor doesn't need me....the REAL band is dead.
The frankie sullivan band, however can and will languish in mediocrity with or without my help.


Axe....again....Frankie is not charging me a dime....we are friends, that is why we are working together...


If you want Joe, you could pay me to co-produce. :lol: :lol:


He is a GREAT producer, and I am thrilled to have him...but in case he gets too busy I will give you a call...can I pay you in Pizza????? hahahahaahha

You think he is doing Mecca becuase it is one of a select few to get a 100/100 on this board???? Or for any reason besides we are buds and it would be complete and utter crap....We enjoy hanging out and talking about life, kids....and oh yea, music....

I read awhile back that a judge ruled that Frankie gets to use the name Survivor, but added it should go to Jimi. Maybe Peterik wasn't involved in the suit. Info? Anyway, if I get that chance to see the 2 w/o Frankie, I'll do just fine.

agreed Joe, he owns the name, trademark, logo, whatever you wanna call it. I as well know a bit of what all went down including the reunion that shocked the world.

Asking why the band broke up or what happened to me, is kinda like asking what happened with your divorce...I was a MAJOR Journey fan for years, worked as an op in their chatroom, which is where I met Kevin Chalfant and then it got to be, where I knew TOO much and it was kinda like the once the curtains are pulled back and you see things or hear them, then, that pedastal we put them on seems to just crumble.

When hurricane katrina hit and I lost all my music collection....I was sent the whole Journey catalog, compliments of the band and their people...I was sent interviews and all the stuff I had collected and shared with other's over the year's, rare songs, unreleased, etc. from the fans...I had bought an autographed guitar for my daughter for Christmas...the top of it was on the outside of the house and the rest of it was on the inside, I still regret not getting a shot of that coz it was kinda funny yet the same time sad, she kept part of it.

I know a lot of what happened during the breakup of Frankie and Jimi and it's between them, simple as can be, it's a business and it's their's....not ours to discuss or lay blame on who. Just enjoy the shows, whomever you want to see and be glad that they made the magic that they did, coz it IS about the music, this isn't a soap opera....well, most of the time it wasn't..lol.

I guess my point to this is, what difference to YOUR life is it going to make if you know all the dirty details? what will it change? And I wonder Joe V.
how do you feel knowing what you do? do you wish you didn't know it? just curious....I think that for your it would be hard to maintain friendships with all of them, knowing what all you do.

It doesn't bother me really....as an artist that has worked extensively with JP and FS I have learned that if it doesn't involve me personally I don't worry about it....I also realize there are different levels of fans, and that is where the the opinions really get slung.....

wow, they were still fighting about that in court as late at may '07...that's crazy if you think of it...over 20 years since the name was probably all that relevant anyways...

I don't really care about the names anyways....i mean really...if we have JJ and JP working together and maybe even Dave coming out of the shell and you can perhaps catch mcsurvivor, well hell, you can't lose....just go enjoy whatever is playing near you...

i know from my line of work that fact and fans really don't normally go together well, but if you think about it, it says a lot about how powerful that music really was that we still talk (debate, argue, act stupid) about it even today....

and I ask again, how did that court date affect our lives in any way shape or form? (I say that with lots of love and respect for all parties concerned, that would not be us).

So, here's a question, a music question, not sure if everyone is up to discussing this or not, but so far out of the soundclips, what is everyone's favorite? Mine would either be Lost or As Is.
love everyone, everyday, every minute...
