Reading Issa's interview in the latest edition of Fireworks she mentions she may be part of a European tour package organised by Frontiers Records..... Not a lot of deatils but very interesting, be good for the scene if something comes from this.....just because the genre has a small fanbase doesn't mean we don't like live music.....kudos to Frontiers if they pull something off...

I think we're living in cloud cuckoo land though guys thinking of Kelly Keagey doing solo and 'Mojo' stuff live in the UK ever but it's good to dream. They could put together and incredible set of top notch melodic/AOR tunes from the 2 KK CDs and 'Mojo' album. That would make a superb compilation album!!]]> Cressy NoticeboardMon, 15 Oct 2012 22:18:43 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915413#msg-915413 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915413#msg-915413

Mike Aquino would be good, because he recreates the tone so well on most of Jim's other works... Trying to think who else?
Back on the subject of a Kelly Keagy live solo band, Kelly Keagy - Vocals/Drums, Gary Moon - Vocals/Bass, Reb Beach - Guitar & Christian Cullen (Pride Of Lions/Night Ranger) on Keys would be pretty shit hot...

From what he was saying there, I'd guess the only reason he's back in the band is if the money's been sorted out, or if he's financially/legally obligated.

Frankie brought the 'toughness' to the sound - I think Jim would need someone who could fulfil that role and keep it more focussed than the stuff he writes for POL (or even on the Crossroads Moment album, which I love). I know Jim's happy being able to write for/with different artists and has been for years.

And am I right in thinking JJ and JP aren't speaking to each other again? There was talk of a follow up to CM for a while... and then Jimi's back with Frankie. Can't see Frankie letting Jimi do another album with Peterik as long as he's part of Survivor (and my guess is that that's a contractual/financial arrangement given Jimi's comments when he left Survivor after Reach re. Frankie being "the devil".)]]> Idiosyncrasy NoticeboardMon, 15 Oct 2012 06:38:00 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915353#msg-915353 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915353#msg-915353 Terry K.

Part of me thinks it would only really be Survivor with Peterik AND Sullivan, but I'd much rather see Jim use the name and actually get gigs and product out there instead of letting Frankie plough it into the ground. Some of the recent live footage has been shocking (and this is coming from someone for whom Survivor used to be their favourite AOR band).

Jimi is unlikely, as he's back in Survivor and they tour pretty heavily around the USA.
Giant with Terry I would love... but I think Terry being in so many bands/projects and John Roth now in Starship has cut the legs out from under the new Giant...
I imagine it'll be Issa, Eclipse, Treat, Wig Wam, Million $ Reload, etc... rather than the golden oldies kind of tour that many here (myself included) would want...

Treat (focused on awesome most recent CD, 'Paper Tiger', 'Skies of Mongolia' etc).
Issa
Giant with Terry Brock on vocals (and Dan Huff involved in any way he wants of course, but unlikely to be present at all I know!).
From the Inside (Danny Vaughn putting a band together to focus on the class material from those 2 superb albums)
The Trophy
Jimi Jamison (doing solo focused set from new CD, Crossroad Moment and Kimball/Jamison releases).

Just a few thoughts on material that rarely gets played due to 'project' aspects and clamour for the favourites from their band days of the likes of Jimi, Danny Vaughn etc. There's some superb Frontiers material out there that needs to be heard live for me!]]> Cressy NoticeboardSun, 14 Oct 2012 07:55:42 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915273#msg-915273 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,915273,915273#msg-915273
