UNSUNG GUITAR HERO : Frankie Sullivan

[brenton4you]

HI,,THIS guy was and STILL IS an amazing guitar player/songwriter.
OK OK OK I know eye of the tiger is OLD and boring. SO is HIGH ON YOU,,BUT if you wanna hear some GREAT KOOL guitar work,,,BUY Premonition by SURVIVOR.
THis is an amazing guitar/hard rock album.
This guy is also very humble and a kool cat to have a conversation with.
THE solos he writes are very interesting. MAKES you think about where you should take your solo ,what you can say in your alotted time frame, and how far it can go. VERY SOULFUL. VERY SMOOTH.

Frankie Sullivan of Survivor a true unsung Geetar hero!
peace

Never been into Surviver but when I hear "The Eye of the Tiger" in my car I always turn the volume a little up!

Any Youtube stuff from that Premonition album?

I checked you tube and there is NO premonition footage.
Here is a link to CAUGHT IN THE GAME song.

This is the title song to the album right after eye of the tiger.
The solo here shows his soulful distinctive sound and his ability to play within the song without overplaying. THERE is one spot in the solo that is way KOOL. NOT his best best solo. FRANKIE keeps it melodic and tame but still plays some interesting stuff.
Peace

To me, Frankie Sullivan is a lot like Gary Richrath: very good rock 'n' roll guitar player. I remember seeing Survivor back in the day, and he could rock.

Tommy Conwell is another great rock 'n' roll guitar player in my opinion. Never made it beyond the clubs, but still a great player.
