Sounds like new music is as good as on the way! http://frankiesullivan.com/blog/index.cfm Don't know about you all but I can't wait. I also am anxious to hear everyone's feedback too!

by **DavidWT** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 7:16 am

In case it disappears (as some of his posts tend to do), here's the text:

--
Dear Friends...

Our first new release will be available at www.survivormusic.com as the new site is launched. Today I am making my final moves in the mix down at CRC in Chicago. The song is called "How Do You Feel" and is written by myself and Robin.

Stay tuned for more news on the launching of the New Survivor Site. You will be able to download the song there when we launch the site...!

It's a Very Happy New Year and we are all very excited to finally have the song available for all of you.

Be Back Soon!

The project 3-4 years in promise is one (1) song?

My thought exactly. This better be one hell of an amazing song!

Let's stay positive now! At this point I will take a song along with a new website.

by **DavidWT** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:32 am

Well, I'd like to stay positive but at the same time, I'm not getting TOO optimistic about this. How many times has Frankie made announcements about things that are "coming soon!!" and then we don't hear anything further about them for several years? When I'm actually listening to this new Survivor song, I'll believe it. Until then, it's just another tease.
(and why is it just a song? Will there be an album to follow?)

Yep...at this rate I will be on Mecca VI by the time he finishes....and that will be 2035....and Yes, I have heard the tune...did I write it with FS?...well that is another discussion.....

Yea that's another thing Joe when FS mentioned the ongoing work he confirmed he was doing a lot of writing with you. :?:

One thing at a time here Men. I look at the release of 1 song as tremendous progress! Also if you read between the lines of FS blog posts it seems like some unforseeable issues popped up to delay the new recordings.

Where in the short post did you get that?
This what it said....and the red was my take on it...

But all joking aside, it is good to see he can show at least something for the past 4 years. But only 1 song???? It better be good or he is toast.

Hey there, it was recalling the old post that got deleted. They have been coming and going on his blog.

by **DavidWT** » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:00 am

Based on his track record, I suspect we'll see the following post on his site in 2012:

Dear Friends,
I just finished remastering the opening riff on a song called "How Do You Feel." My previous singer, R, left the band because he did not understand the true value in the name Survivor. Marc is also gone, along with everyone else. Now it's just me, the TRUE Survivor! So you can be sure that Survivor is now the best it has ever been! No more negative energy! It's all positive happy-feel-good stuff now!! (btw, Marc & Robin, if you ever even THINK the word 'Survivor,' I'll see you in court, you bastards.)
As soon as the new survivormusic.com site is finished, you'll be able to download the opening riff of "How Do You Feel".

Wow, like I said let's try to stay positive! Happy New Year.

Ok.....I'll bite....I'll stay positive for you slander(I know never thought you'd hear that from me huh).

I'm positive that this latest blog entry is just a tease to get people on here talking about it. And I'm equally as positive that there could be some bad feelings under the radar concerning the authorship of some of these songs that are purportably written and somewhat recorded.
And I'm positive that the delay is the fact that there's not a label out there who's willing to touch this band with it's penchant for slow work and "Broken Promises". Not too mention a band who's chief songwriter isn't even in it anymore, and who's most notable singer is gone as well.

That's what I'm positive about.

by **Abitaman** » Sat Jan 01, 2011 10:28 am

Slander, I'm glad your a Survivor fan, and you stick by your band. I just wish they would put a cd out to give someone something to talk about

Hi Abitman, I thought this was our band, and we were all fans. I have been more than critical of the lack of activity by the band, I just don't find it necessary to continue the negativity toward fs.

I had know idea that AXE is not only a roadie but Silvia Brown herself! Or wait are you Carnac the Magnificent?

Not too mention a band who's chief songwriter isn't even in it anymore, and who's most notable singer is gone as well.

And I'm positive that most fans don't give a shite they just want new tunes.

by **axecrew** » Sun Jan 02, 2011 1:44 pm

Ok slander we'll deal with them one by one....
#1 The entries being a tease.....well hmm let's see everytime things get slow on here or sullivan post something everyone on here starts talking about it.Mainly you posting the original. Why is it a tease?? These post disappear as soon as anyone on here has any kind of negative reaction. Not too mention he's been teasing for over a year about new music or a project or a survivor album or is it a projected project?

#2 I'm sorry but a private conversation that I'm not a liberty to discuss, will stay between myself and the other person. Just have to take my word on it....again I'm sorry.

#3 No label......hmmm.....no longer on frontiers and talk about how this new "whatever" it is will be available for download. What record label provides it's music for download?? Promises of new music and new information and the "real" stories behind the scenes etc and resulted in Paul and Art. Sullivan is more eager to be seen in a court room than a boardroom. And if you don't think the labels see or look at this stuff, think again. BTW Paul and Art.....means "Sounds of Silence".

#4 I am magnificant yes.

#5 My personal fav......Most fans only want new music.....Well it's safe to say that the last few years have been totally wasted and I have been under the influence of some heavy narcotics then. Because If memory serves me...a LARGE portion of the debates between you, myself and others centers directly around Jim Peterik, Jimi Jamison and their contributions to the band, and the amount of said contributions. I believe if I remember right according to you sullivan has kept the band going( kind of a misnomer but ok) and if not for him the band would've never been anything.Afterall he was the "signature" sound of survivor and no one else contributed anything to it. Which explains why there has been a record per year since 1996 from survivor and all of them with incredible music.

#/quote]

Another coward behind a cursor. Hard to respect anyone that throws out as much bs you do, and says "you have to take my word for it." How half assed! You talk big time smack but then when asked to back it up you say "Just have to take my word on it?" Are you friggin kidding me. If you got something to say, than say it! Once again, there is nothing new to what you are saying whatsoever. Let's hear some so called evidence for your opinions, besides Peterik is Lennon-McCartney and JJ is Sinatra-Bono-Pavarotti all rolled into 1! Yes we know they walk on water and Survivor would have never been anything without them. Yes axe we know, we've heard it so many times before that it's nauseating. Sorry but after "When Rock Was King" all your high praise seems a bit like a stretch! The video and song are an embarrassment to an otherwise solid solo effort. Yeah, axe your clean up hitter really wiffed on that one. Your mighty casey struck out! Same for the last JP solo effort which had it share of cheese on it as well. JP and JJ are great talents but your blind devotion has clouded your judgment.

by **axecrew** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:44 pm

WOW!!!!!! One of the most vile,venomous personal attacks I think I've ever seen on here. Nowhere have I called you a name, made some bold accusatory comments or anything that rivals your last post Ty.
What really blows my mind is you actually have the balls to call me a coward etc. and tell me you have no respect for me, along with your comments about throwing out bullshit etc. And yet you milk at the trough of the very person who flings more bullshit, hides behind blogs and makes more baseless accusitory post then I could ever do. And yet you RESPECT him huh? Wow......just wow.

Nice of you to only address the 1 part of my comments. Tells me you have no logical defense or whatever for the rest of it.
The phone conversation I had with the person who wrote with your god, will continue to remain between myself and that individual, and no amount of whatever you're doing will change that....don't respect me, could care less, don't need you or your respect to validate me....sorry.

Opinions don't need evidence to support them.....only the belief by the person stating them that they are right. Kinda why they are called opinions.

When rock was king was approved by Frontiers for inclusion on Jimi's solo album...just like ALL the songs on that steaming pile called"Reach". Wonder who still has a contract for another album with frontiers.......guarentee it isn't survivor.

The comments about Peterik and Jamison are yours and not mine. But I think it's very telling that the great prolific writer that is sullivan, the man who singlehandedly who took survivor to superstardom....has exactly 1 song to show for his efforts after damn near 2 years of talking bullshit.
As far as the rest of it goes....I have nothing more to ever say to you...I don't mind a nice debate or argument if you will....but to be expected to put up with a vile personal attack on me like that, when I've never done that to you? You have the fucking balls to disrespect me like that because you don't agree with a post on a message board???

Vile and venomous? What the hell are you talking about? Vile? Personal? Like I said you tend to let your emotions cloud your judgment. Yes I said it was cowardly to hide behind a cursor. And it is. The internet is full of people who say things, make accusation as truth but never cite their sources. They make it up as they go. Sorry I have no respect for people who have their version of the truth specially when it is baseless. If I offended you I am sorry, but I wasn't aware you had such tender sensibilities.

I think the real topic of conversation lies in the subtext of JV's post...

But who knows....

I'm always up for a good Slander vs. Axe vs. Red vs. Me battle!

I mean how many times can we discuss the finer merits of the guitar solo in Broken Promises!

Happy New Year folks!

Yes it does. As FS was helping produce Mecca and JV was writing on Survivor's new project! Then nothing. Silence. I'm thrilled to hear the news that JV will have Mecca out soon. I for one have always appreciated how JV has shared so much of the process with us. If there is anything negative going on between JV and FS that would be a damn shame as I admire both.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but Frankie now has a newer post on his site.

January 1st:
Hello All...

The 2011 Journal begins tomorrow here at fs.com. I hope everyone had a Great New Year's Eve! I will be back at the keypad pecking away and bringing you all up to date as I once did.

More Tomorrow!

Of course, "tomorrow" has come and gone, with no further updates. So, as he said, he's keeping us "up to date" just as he usually does... lol.

That really IS a good post on his blog. That's the sort of thing I hope we see more of, because really, that's what it should be about. No more finger-pointing, etc.
Keeping my fingers crossed that we get some new music soon.

David I agree totally with what you are saying, but on the other hand I can't blame a person defending himself either.
