Dave Bickler on Breaking it Down with Frank MacKay - Eye Of The Tiger Singer,Survivor by Frank MacKay

Eye of the Tiger is one of those songs that everyone has heard and everyone knows what it's all about.  It's a song about fighting, metaphorically or literally.  Sometimes both.  A literal fight might involve - purely hypothetically - boxing.  An example of a more metaphorical fight would be the fight to get your new album, Darklight, the recognition it deserves. Another example is Mike Lindell's fight against basically the entire establishment.  We'd rather step into the ring with no training. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Survivor es una banda estadounidense de Hard Rock y AOR (Adult Oriented Rock), formada en 1976 por Jim Peterik y Frankie Sullivan. La banda alcanzó su mayor éxito en la década de los 80s, sobre todo en su país de origen. Destacan sus éxitos "Eye of the Tiger" y Burning Heart , canciones principales de las películas de culto Rocky III (1982) y Rocky IV (1984). Survivor se formó en 1977, cuando Jim Peterik (ex vocalista y guitarrista de The Ides of March) , Frankie Sullivan, Dave Bickler, Gary Smith y Dennis Johnson comenzaron a tocar en pequeños pubs. Fue en 1979, que grabaron su primer disco llamado "Survivor", que no cumplió las expectativas del grupo. Su siguiente disco, "Premonition", en 1981 entró en las listas y fue bastante popular en Estados Unidos, consiguiendo colocar un sencillo en el Top 40, "Poor Man's Son". En 1982, la suerte en forma de Sylvester Stallone llamó a las puertas del grupo. Este último, tras escuchar el tema "Poor Man's Son" quería una canción parecida para su película "Rocky III". La banda aceptó el reto. Teniéndose siete semanas. También entró en el Billboard británico manteniéndose seis semanas en el Top 40 y se mantuvo en el nº1 en Australia durante cuatro semanas. El tema fue premiado con un Premio Grammy a la mejor interpretación de rock, votado como el "Mejor Tema Nuevo" en los People's Choice Award y también recibió una nominación a los Oscar de la Academia. El álbum del mismo título, Eye of the Tiger fue lanzado a finales de 1982, con otro single que entraría en el Top 40, "American Heartbeat" (nº17). El álbum consiguió el nº2 de las listas en Estados Unidos. En 1983, Survivor intentó repetir el éxito de "Eye of the Tiger" sacando "Caught in the Game". Resultó ser un fracaso al no pasar del nº82 del Billboard en Estados Unidos. Ninguno de los dos singles extraídos del disco consiguió acercarse al éxito del año anterior. La banda sufrió otro percance antes de la gira de finales de 1983, al detectarse problemas vocales en el cantante Dave Bickler y tener que ser sustituido por Jimi Jamison de los grupos Target y Cobra. En el año 1984 graban el tema "The Moment of Truth" (nº 63 en Estados Unidos), para la banda sonora y tema principal del éxito de taquilla "Karate Kid" (1984.) Ese mismo año, 1984, la banda entra nuevamente al estudio para grabar el primer disco con Jimi Jamison. "Vital Signs" devolvió al grupo a la popularidad, llegando al nº16 del Billboard con el impulso de sencillos como "I Can't Hold Back" (nº 13 en EE.UU.), "High On You" (nº8) o "The Search Is Over" (nº4). En 1985, sacaron otro single, "Burning Heart" de la banda sonora de "Rocky IV", que alcanzó el nº 2 del Billboard. El siguiente álbum que publicó la banda sería "When Seconds Count" que salió en 1986 e incluía el single "Is This Love" (nº 9 en EE.UU.). En el Billboard de discos, alcanzó el nº 49, vendiendo más de 500.000 copias y fue certificado como Disco de Oro. Durante la producción del 7º disco, "Too Hot To Sleep" (1988), Ellis y Droubay fueron sustituidos por dos músicos de sesión, Mickey Curry en la batería y Bill Syniar en el bajo. El disco sonaba más duro que sus últimos éxitos y se acercaba más al sonido de sus principios. "Too Hot To Sleep" no llegó a tener un gran éxito y se quedó en el nº 187 en EE.UU. Tras el fracaso de ventas de "Too Hot To Sleep", Jim Peterik y Frankie Sullivan deciden parar la banda indefinidamente. Sin embargo, Jimi Jamison sigue girando con un grupo de músicos locales tocando canciones de Survivor y en 1990 saca un disco en solitario. Sigue girando pero esta vez bajo el nombre Survivor y tras un pequeño éxito internacional Sullivan entra en la banda para hacer unos 10 conciertos y luego volver a abandonar. Entre finales de 1992 y principios de 1993 se pide a Survivor sacar un nuevo disco de éxitos pero con 2 temas nuevos. Por lo tanto, durante un corto periodo de tiempo, Peterik, Sullivan y Jamison volvieron a estar juntos en el estudio para grabar esos temas y prepararse para la próxima gira mundial. Después de discusiones sobre los contratos Jamison deja la banda y vuelve a girar como Jimi Jamison's Survivor. En la primavera de 1993 Peterik y Sullivan vuelven a reunirse con el primer cantante, Dave Bickler, sacan un "Greatest Hits" con dos temas nuevos y vuelven a hacer una gira mundial. Debido a que Jamison sigue girando bajo el nombre de Survivor, Peterik y Sullivan deciden ir a juicio contra él para recuperar el nombre de la banda. Entre 1993 y 1996 graban unas 20 demos para un nuevo disco pero no pueden conseguir un contrato discográfico debido a los continuos juicios por el nombre del grupo. Finalmente Peterik decide abandonar la banda tocando por última vez con Survivor el 3 de julio de 1996 en el festival "The Eye In The Sky" en Lisle, Illinois. Survivor reemplazan a Peterik por el compositor y teclista Chris Grove, mientras Peterik vuelve a grabar y girar con Ides of March y funda su nuevo grupo, Pride of Lions. En 1997 Marc Droubay vuelve a Survivor como batería y percusionista y Stephen Elis deja el grupo y es sustituido por Billy Ozzello al bajo. Survivor siguen grabando demos para un próximo disco, incluyendo temas como "Rebel girl'98" o "Lies" del disco en solitario de Sullivan. En 1999, Jamison saca su disco "Empires" bajo el nombre de "Jimi Jamison's Survivor" que más tarde sería reeditado bajo su propio nombre. A finales de año, Frankie Sullivan obtiene todos los derechos sobre el nombre de Survivor y la batalla judicial llega a su fin. A principios del 2000, Dave Bickler es despedido dando origen a una nueva colaboración entre Sullivan y Peterik. Con Jamison de nuevo en el grupo, la banda vuelve a grabar nuevo material, sacando el tema "Velocitized" para la película de Sylvester Stallone "Driven". Mientras siguen girando por Norte América , Europa y Asia. El 21 de abril de 2006, Survivor saca un nuevo disco, "Reach", compuesto en su mayoría de temas nuevos pero con algún tema recuperado de sus demos. El 14 de julio del mismo año, se anuncia la marcha de Jamison y el fichaje de Robin McAuley, "McAuley Schenker Group". Con la partida de McAuley el 2011 Jamison se vuelve a reunir con la banda y desde 2013 al presente Dave Bickler también se reúne a la banda El 31 de agosto de 2014 fallece Jimi Jamison a consecuencia de problemas cardiacos en su casa en Memphis

From high atop the celebrity tree, singer and musician, Dave Bickler joins the show to talk about his time with the rock group, Survivor (including stories of when he recorded the sales-shattering "Eye of the Tiger"), the "Real Men of Genius" ad campaign for Bud Light, and his new album "Darklight" - available now for download (physical copies at DaveBickler.com).

In Dave's words: I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.  My course was set. I started my musical career as lead singer of the 1970s rock group Jamestown Massacre (Billboard Top 100 Song 'Summer Sun') and doing commercial jingle work in Chicago. I was lead singer of the rock band Survivor from 1978-1983 and 1993-1999, and co-lead singer 2013-2014. I was the voice of 'Eye Of The Tiger' the theme song for the film Rocky III, and #1 on the Billboard charts for six weeks. The song won a Grammy Award for 'Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.' From 1999-2009 I was the singing voice behind the most award winning radio campaign in advertising history ('Real Men of Genius') for Bud Light beer.  Bickler was born in North Dakota, moved to Willmar, Minnesota, and then graduated from Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois. His career began in 1968 as one of two lead singers and a musician in the early 1970s American rock group Jamestown Massacre. The group's single "Summer Sun" was a Billboard Top 100 and Easy Listening chart entry in the summer of 1972. Bickler met Jim Peterik while doing commercial jingles in the mid-1970s, leading to their future partnership in the band Survivor.  In 2009, Dave Bickler posted several new songs he was writing and recording for a future solo project via his Twitter account and website. On September 28, 2018, he released his debut solo album, Darklight. Dave Bickler is best known as an original member of Survivor from 1978 to 1983. He rejoined with co-founders Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik in 1993, staying until early 2000. He was a part of the group for their first four albums: Survivor, Premonition, Eye of The Tiger, and Caught in the Game. Although primarily serving as the band's lead vocalist during this time, he is also credited with playing keyboards on Survivor's first two albums (including being the sole keyboardist on their debut album, before rhythm guitarist Jim Peterik began to take over the role on Premonition, although future releases would see Peterik replaced in-studio by session musicians). Survivor experienced their big breakthrough in 1982, when they were asked by Sylvester Stallone to provide the theme song for his movie Rocky III. The song, "Eye of the Tiger", soon turned into one of the biggest hits of the band's career. It had an enormous impact on the Billboard charts, soaring to #1 for seven weeks. The song won the band a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, was voted "Best New Song" by the People's Choice Awards and received an Academy Award nomination. Thanks to the song's success and another Top 20 single, "American Heartbeat", the album Eye of the Tiger peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The song remains popular today. It came in at #18 on the "Top 100 Singles" chart in Billboard's 100th Anniversary issue and it is well over the 300,000 mark on the iTunes Store, where it once held #9 on their "Top Soundtrack" chart. Bickler left the band in late 1983 after he developed polyps on his vocal cords and required surgery and voice rest, a condition that would take a year and a half to recuperate from. After leaving Survivor, Bickler continued recording with other groups in the Chicago area and doing commercial jingles and ads.
