They will never be Jimi Jamison or the true band Survivor. Plus Dave Bickler is still alive, he was the first lead singer for survivor that did the Song eye of the tiger. Dave Bickler had to leave survivor due to nodules on his vocal cords and had surgery and could not strain his vocals, needed a year for healing, that's when survivor hired Jimi Jamison.. R.I.P Jimi ❤
I like Dave alright. He seems really cool too. Jimi was just so true and natural, effortless on most occasions! This guy isnt bad. It'd be easier for him if the band was consistent. I truly miss Jimi Jamison though!
The Classic Survivor Lineup is: Jim Peterik - Keyboards/Vocals; Frankie Sullivan - Keyboards/Vocals; Marc Droubay - Drums; Stephan Ellis - Bass; Jimi Jamison - Lead Vocals. Now I realize that Jimi Jamison passed away, but why wouldn't you tour with Peterik, Droubay, Ellis, Sullivan and Bickler (the original lead vocalist before Jamison)? It looks like Sullivan is the only original member left.
Frankie Sullivan is an egomaniac control freak whose ego won't allow him to share any of the spotlight with the original members who wrote and performed the songs that made Survivor, well, Survivor. Everyone knows Jim Peterik was the creative genius behind this band. This incarnation is basically a mediocre Survivor tribute band that somehow got the original guitar player to sit in for the night.
This is what they do now, look at Fog Hat, it's basically a cover band meanwhile whom ever owns the name is the one making money. HELL Lynard Skynard has been basically cover band for decades. KISS plans on sending out 4 young guys when they finish up.
This guy sings flat. The keyboard player sounds like he’s using a $50 Casio. When Jimi Jamison passed away and they hired this kid before they got rid of Dave, it was all obviously calculated call to get rid of Dave gradually.
@@jaggass you're right...we did many shows with Jimi singing with us....all his songs were 1 1/2 step down except "High on you" and "I can't hold back"...we miss Jimi. I think we have some videos of us with Jimi here in the States and some of our show in Nagoya , Japan here on you tube...[Stormbringer} ..RIP my friend
They should’ve at least lowered the key to a half step or a full step down because singing a song and its original key because it sounds like his voice is getting strained.
When you don’t have a road crew out with you making sure all the equipment works, this is what happens. That’s why smaller venues aren’t professionally recorded. Not the band’s fault. Good singer. Does a great job here.
Doesn't matter how accurate the band plays (but its far from we're watching...), Jamison had so much feeling even not hitting the highs , he made our eyes in tears always. Music is all 'bout soul, please don't ya destroy the pretty memories I have of Real Survivor Icon!
Of course jimi jamison is still the best but accept that jimi will no longer in this world accept that survivor still there together with this new vocalist..
Kind of feel sorry for this singer. He's trying to fill André the Giants shoes while the band is performing like they're at a Sports bar in Omaha Nebraska. Overall I think he is a decent singer if he only had creative band mates around his age.
They should change the name of the band . Dave is not singing , no Jim P. on keyboards , Stephen Ellis has passed away . And not even Mark on drums . Frankie is NOT survivor by himself
If only his HUGE ego allowed him to recognize that. This is basically a mediocre cover band that somehow got the original guitar player to sit in with them for the night.
@@andreaspetropoulos6390 I agree! Frankie ran everyone off and was such a seeker of glory and control, , it ruined the chemistry of the band and thus the struggle since the late 1980’s.
@@calexr36 Only recently I finished reading Peterik's autobiography. And although it has been very interesting following in-depth the story of my all-time faves, it was at the same time devastating to learn 'bout the character of Mr. Sullivan (and Peterik 's descriptions are NOT dirty laundry and seem pretty credible....). The weird thing is that Sullivan always looked soo innocent at all the band pictures, (at least until When Seconds Count...) - something in between schoolboy and apprentice....Well, to quote High on You... "the kinda face to start a fight"....
It is a cover band no doubt . No Dave , Jim , and a different bassist , and drummer . How this can be called Survivor is silly . Frankie didn't sing these songs , and play keyboards , all while he was playing guitar . 1 original member doesn't make a band .
Was at this show, somewhat disappointed overall. The kid did alright with the singing, but didn't get to do it much. Majority of the show was dominated with 10-20 minute guitar solos by Frankie Sullivan on songs I never heard of, which of itself isn't a bad thing, he's a phenomenal guitar player. But.....when that leaves Poor Man's Son, American Heartbeat, Caught In The Game, The Moment of Truth, Is This Love, and Burning Heart all being LEFT OUT of a concert, that's a very bad thing!!! Perhaps something to do with the kid's vocal range? The A La Carte show the night before was very good. Former Journey lead singer Steve Augeri and his band doing 90% all Journey classics was awesome!
I don't get why Frankie canned the original singer Dave Bickler, someone who still wanted to perform with them, for a kid that can't hit all the notes. Bickler might have lost some range, but why replace him with someone who can't do much better?
@@1thenatural1 Frankie is a control freak. Let's be honest, the real soul of the band was Jim Peterik. Bickler was a top singer in his prime, a unique voice (although he had lost quite a bit of range as he aged). Jimi Jamison also had a great voice, was a great frontman. Survivor lost it's soul and it's singers... it's now just Frankie's vanity project.
Those are Peterick songs. Frankie has co writer credit but maybe he’s that salty and bitter? No other reason to not play the songs your casual fans will know while butchering your signature with a guy who likely auditioned for Bobby Blotzer’s Ratt Experience.
@@britbox4517 that's true, according to Peteriks book. Peterik quit the band while they were on tour in 1996. Just didnt show up for the gig and said Sullivan was "Napoleonic"
Si el guitarrista dejará de hacer boludeces sería bárbaro..no pudo hacer la base más de dos vueltas metiendo estupideces que destruye la estructura del tema
Everyone needs some time to grow into a predecessor's shoes, and a lot of time if these shoes are big. This young fellow certainly still has to grow a lot, gain a lot of vocal power. I don't understand why the band isn't using a more experienced guy, unless the main objective is cutting expenses. Suppose that Ian Gillan would pass away all of a sudden, can you name one 21 year old who can replace him, while reaching 90-95 % of Gillan's savoir faire at the start, and 100 % after 3 years ? Or make the same reasoning with AC DC's front man. It just won't happen. Sorry Frankie, this show was quite a pale imitation, a 3rd rate cover band of the old Survivor. Adding a tattooed drummer won't make it more credible. I do understand these guys aren't young men anymore, I also take into account the recording equipment wasn't good, but hey... Even adding an experienced singer won't always work, if his voice is quite different. Think about the search of Queen for a new Mercury...
HE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS COMPARED TO JIMI JAMISON! ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS TOTALLY DISRESPECTING JIMI THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED PERFORMING SONGS JIMI SANG AND STARTED FRESH WITH NEW MATERIAL SORRY BUT A BAND LIKE SURVIVOR IS KNOWN FOR THE LEAD SINGERS VOICE NOT THE BAND SORRY BUT THATS THE HONEST TRUTH
eu diria que o vocal do menino aí é a única coisa que ainda salva, parece que a banda está totalmente destreinada, principalmente o Sullivan (guitarrista) que antes fazia um bom trabalho, agora é somente o dono da banda.

Jimi Jamison my favorite singer
They weren't gonna have tigers
Mine too
Jimi jamison forever
the singer is great
If Jesus Himself Sang in Survival people would still want Jimi ❤❤❤
I think the guy does alright..but there's just not that special feeling that you get when you hear Jimi....
Or dave
I can't find any record of this guys singing with them. Only Jimi & Dave (who are hard shoes to fill, I confess as a vocalist myself)
A pale imitation of the Survivor we loved back in the day.
Nothing more than a tribute band now like Foreigner.
And present you ,guys , are worst copies of you back in the days haha 😄
He knows how to sing. The problem is the band.
Doesnt belong here. No jimi no dave no survivor
DAve´s band sounds much better than this
" we're DRUNK anyway & f...k up
--- it doesn't matter WHO'S SINGING NOW.
EYE of dat tiger is gone. GONE..... "
excuse my ignorance..did they have 2 guitarists back in the 80s? The band sounded much tighter live.

Dave Bickler doesn't need Survivor and has proved that he is one the Real Men Of Genius on the Bud Light adverts.
Now in original key since Dave Bickler left Survivor again.
That is not original key.
@@jejemon123 It is. It was done 1 1/2 keys lower when Dave Bickler and Jimmi Jamison was in Survivor.
@@jaggass Redardless anyway the new sing struggle hitting the high notes, he strain alot too.

Pra quem gosta dessa banda só tenho uma coisa dizer maravilha.

Everyone's great, don't argue! The problem is in monitoring, imho!
This vocalist who appears more than the songs, this way of wanting to be a star is clear to the element
Doesn't matter how accurate the band plays (but its far from we're watching...), Jamison had so much feeling even not hitting the highs , he made our eyes in tears always. Music is all 'bout soul, please don't ya destroy the pretty memories I have of Real Survivor Icon!
Jamison wasn't an original member of Survivor either.
@@themobseat You prick, we die hard fans know 4hat already. Get a life.
I miss new Survivor albums
Este niño canta aceptable; a estas alturas una voz como la de Jimi no se consigue y Dave ya está viejo...
Of course jimi jamison is still the best but accept that jimi will no longer in this world accept that survivor still there together with this new vocalist..
I'm not mad at this version!!!
Cameron Barton is a great singer
Kind of feel sorry for this singer.
He's trying to fill André the Giants shoes while the band is performing like they're at a Sports bar in Omaha Nebraska.

Jeff Fishman of Hot Moves (1984) on keys
Embarrassing guitar performance.
The boys are certainly under the thumb of the original member and have to save the performance
This was pretty bad. The music was loose and sloppy. Sounds like a Survivor tribute band.
Too bad. Frankie at one time was a great and underrated guitar player
All my respect for Frankie Sullivan.. soul of Survivor. But this sounds like a cover band....

What, in The Eye notes what happened?
Why is Dave not up there again but this kid who is galaxy's away of Jimi? At least Dave had a crazy voice and a nice range but this ...
You gotta know when to walk away.❤
Are you taking drugs to walk away .....🤫🤔🤐🤨😐😑😶😏😒🙄😝
