This was the last chance for anything meaningful to take place for this band. JP, Frankie, & Dave. (Sorry JJ fans). Sad how lawsuits/etc screwed everything up. We should have had an official/new Bickler fronted Survivor album. We wuz robbed....
I gotta say Dave Bickler sings this song way more effortlessly than Jimi Jamison. Jimi Jamison sometimes gets vocally tired sometimes. Notes cut short. Flat notes. Cracks. I understand these songs are hard to sing but just comparing Jamison to Bickler. I mean Jamison is a great singer though and has a nice rough tenor tone to fit these songs, but still gotta give love to Dave Bickler cuz he is very consistent compared to Jamison. He sounds great here. Wow!
Wow Dave Bickler is flawless! His range is noticeably better than Jimi Jamison and he sings more effortlessly than Jimi Jamison too. It is so right when he sings this song. So perfect. Singing along to Frankie Sullivan's guitar licks is just so right. I love this!
Founding Survivor members Jim Peterik, Gary Smith and Dennis Keith Johnson initially came together in 1977 as The Jim Peterik Band and recorded one album, Don't Fight the Feeling, on Epic Records. Then in 1978, at the urging of tour manager Rick Weigand, Peterik hooked up with Frankie Sullivan, brought in singer Dave Bickler and Survivor was born.
Damn he really does sound that good. Even after throat surgery he can pull it off! I dis Frankie Sullivan for firing him like that! Now they got a damn Kevin Dubrow look-alike and possible Sound-alike singing for Survivor
He also caused Jim Peterik, the who founded the band and wrote all of their songs to quit. I heard Jim was a better guitarist from Jimi Jamison.
Speaking of Jimi, he also quit back in '06 because of Frankie's junk. He lied about Jimi's pay, didn't tell him about using his songs in movies, and was just a total ass.
Now on top of all of that he got the rights to the name Survivor! It's Jim Peterik's band. Bullshit.
jimi sounds like dave. but i prefer dave more. dave is more homo sound NOT THAT HE IS i mean he sounds VERY HIGH like girls tone jimmy is thin not that far pitch he can sing but when he scream he can be ALSO very high but not as high as dave
Dave must love that hat he wears it in like every video, I am not complaining though he looked hot with it on in "the eye of the tiger" in 1982. But that was when he was like 20 or 30 something and I looked up when he was born and it only said a year not the moth or day so if you know please tell me.:D
All yall people who see this need to say something back but, I think the guitar player is drunk.LOL, watch him the one in the shorts and he needs longer shorts too.

Dave Bicklers voice is has the octave that Jimi could never duplicate....i would say that Dave is for Survivor, what Steve Perry was for Journey!
