I love how he is respectful and doesn't swear or had enough respect not to have women in dog collars and leather in their videos. No wonder we all love him back.
This is in fact Steve Perry 100%. Take it from us who have been around awhile and are over 50 years old. We know his voice in a heart beat. Steve Perry is extremely smart, highly talented and a really great guy. He is our gift from God 💕🎤🎼🎹🎸 WE LOVE YOU STEVE 💋💋💋
Over 50, never that would be a qualifier for me but here we are. And Steve Perry was my fathers nightmare so I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle in Texas. I did find cowboys but Steve is still my dream guy.
Very intelligent young man I love to listen to all his interviews unlike other celebrities he's articulate and can express his thoughts thoroughly.. no ahs and ohs just d right explanation ..
Steve is very smart and insightful...an Aquarius all the way. There is his beautiful voice...before soooo much awesome singing for so many yrs...I like the raspy voice he has now too....but gosh he sang so well for so long. I love seeing the changes...it's life. Steve was serious, a thinker and a great talent.
Just your speaking voice is perfect, when you sing , you are heavenly. My favorite is live in Houston 'Wheel in the Sky ' 1981 Escape Tour. The Journey Band then is perfect. Rock on Mr. Steve Perry. I loved listening to you from late 1970's till now 2022 and hope to live to be 100 and still rocking to your singing &band!
He totally was the best thing to happen to Journey. He is so amazing and You can hear how dedicated and passionate about the band and wanted them to be successful. He was right about them being unique!
SP is so articulate. Love hearing him speak, you can tell he was passionate about his music and the band. Seem like he's the only one that could speak, I've never heard any other of the Journey band members doing such good PR.
Totally agree! love listening to any interview I can find. Even if it's a short comment. He's always articulate and well-spoken, even when he's annoyed. He did fantastic PR (likely way better than Neal's attempts!)
The first thing I noticed is that Steve sounds like he has a cold. His speaking voice is a lot lower than I have heard and he sounds congested. And at 5:37 you can hear him sniffle. Poor baby, I'll bet it's hard to keep performing when you're sick. I love this interview, he's so honest!!!
I think Steve was right about his decision having had extensive back surgery myself I had the surgery and still hurt every day so I don't blame Steve at all for wanting to try everything he could before having surgery it was Steve's body not Neal and Jon"s it was major surgery no one in their right mind wants to have that done until you've tried everything else than surgery is your last option I can about guess Steve has some pain still because arthritis usually sets in with this kind of surgery
@vickie OAKES ... I agree, Steve made the best decisions for himself and his health ... the surgery he finally had was for his hip, not his back ... but he did have a lot of pain and I'm glad he took good care of himself ... and now I'm thankful he is OK and has come back with his amazing new music 🎶 ... Steve Perry is still such a talent and he always has been ... forever The VOICE and forever gorgeous and sexy 🔥🔥 !!!
I was traveling acrossed the country,we had been blasted out and in between show's,JOURNEY... I fell in love with STEVE R PERRY! "EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM" even now " 2020"! I know I was right,he still got it... !
Lindas las entrevistas me encanta Steve Perry bello talentoso inteligente y tiene una voz increíble maravillosa un gran músico siempre ha sido mi ídolo el mejor

Perry's voice is so deep here the young Steve Perry almost doesn't sound like him lol probably from all the touring that takes a toll on the voice
Love this interview and ty for sharing. You feel the nostalgia that these guys were all friends and loving what they did. Hate things went sour but the road and constantly being around each other started to take its toll and I'm sure conditions were quite different then than they are now for the band.
Steve Perry tiene mucho talento y personalidad carisma aparte de ser un cantante exitoso que llevó a la fama al grupo Journey con su tremenda voz que él tiene Steve es maravilloso número uno 1⃣
Please give up the suits and ties. 👖👕 He is gorgeous all dressed up for special occasions, I agree. I guess I just remember him like yesterday. In his jeans and especially that yellow tee.
don't agree, Steve is sooo gorgeous all dressed up !! ... of course, he's gorgeous in anything 💜💜 !! ... but he's a really "sharp dressed man" when he's out at functions (as ZZ Top would say, lol 🙂)
Steve is gorgeous in ANYTHING! But I agree: That yellow shirt from the 80s should be in the Smithsonian! As Indiana Jones says: "It belongs in a museum."
I am curious if he still has some of these early years feelings, does he still remember the feeling of how hard it was in the beginning, I mean now his life is set up, he went through some very lean years and worked his a** off for everything he has......does he remember that hunger
Steve Smith is originally from Rhode Island and graduated from Warren high school it's crazy how he became the drummer of journey. He is very talented and went to Berkeley school of procussion.❤
It sure did with mine. I had the L-5, S-1 open fusion and it healed nicely. 6 months later I returned to work and I got run over by a T-2000 Kenworth in the plant. So double whammy on me and I think the Arthritis moved in bad. I am so with you and Steve P .
@@slamecatzwell5544 Actually, I thought he looked about 20 years old then, so but I'm such a big fan, I read everything about him and Journey so I know how old he really was.
I was begining to win contest's and do some traveling ... how could I have not stopped long enough or be in the right stage to steal his heart kill's me!! Fine,strong,articulate,well spoken, charismatic,sxy yet down to earth, funny &fun loving... so much talent! Should have been mine!!! I love him still! 👑💖Stevie Perry,wow! 1 problem ... I was in high school... ! Still want him more than ever(2021)! He's such a beautiful person.... friend or lover & still the master of song!! He is the voice! I wonder if he's good even snoring... 😄😄😁😆😀😊😁😙?!! VELVET💘💋 (6STEVIES GIRL❤)
Steve is as tall as his voice. He,s 5 feet 7 but when he sings he soar as tall as mountain. He,s my Rock god. know one voice is as powerful as his. Big shoes to fill for a big world . 2020 in Cleveland Ohio a million miles away from him. A fan forever ❣️😍

It's interesting here that Perry said there was a great nucleus between him Schon Ross and Greg- however, in later interviews like the VH1 special and REELZ interviews Perry stated that, " Schon Valory Dunbar and Rolie had a brotherhood before he was in the Band, and he never really felt accepted'' Hmm some contradictions here but Steve was probably upset with Dunbar at this point because they were not getting along as people and the chemistry was not there on Infinity which is true- Steve Smith was a much better fit for Journey and Perry's singing style Dunbar fit well with Jefferson Starship on hits like Jane and Find YOur Way Back
Has this woman TOTALLY lost her mind or does she really think in her messed up head all the bullshit she is saying, because I've seen her say things like this on some other videos I've watched, I mean really any Steve Perry fan can tell you Steve was the only child from his mother and father during their marriage they divorced she remarried, this woman really needs some mental help!!
No. I ordered Perry off the Road. There was no rift between Dino and the Dyanmos (Neil ) etc. I am Perry's wife. I ordered Perry off the road. I had nothing to do with his hip or surger... and just as a note you know those are all "stage names" eh. Like we are all from Windsor Ontario The bass player the keyboardist and Dino the Guitar Player all live in the same Columbia Courts in Windsor Ontario at Partington and Third Concession I was born on Curry Perry
Most times Journey songs sounded the same live with the exception of a very few like Lovin Touchin Squeezin which was overproduced and sounded like Perry's voice was altered sonically for a more pop sound Perry could never sing Lovin Touchin Squeezin live the way he did on record Do you Recall a similar thing and Journey opted out of doing Sweet & Simple for obvious reasons overproduction besides Evolution Journey learned to keep it simple no pun intended to perform the songs live
Perry and his two brothers , the drummers all lived just down the street... In South Windsor.. we all grew up in the same neighbourhood. And all the stuff that Perry says Publicly it's all scripted. By me. Thanks ATM
THIS IS NOT STEVE PERRY!!!!! NOT HIS "VOICE". THE GUY SPEAKING IN THIS PRETEND VIDEO CANNOT HIT A HIGH "A" NOTE, ABOVE 12 FRET OG GUITAR, NOR A c ABOVE THAT! THIS PUNK IS A 1st BASS/ 2nd TENOR AT BEST! PERIOD!!! IT ALL STARTED WITH "LIGHTS & PATIENTLY", NOT "FEELING THAT WAY". THE REAL PERRY WOULD NEVER AND HAS NEVER SAID: " I knew I was good at what I was doing . . . " AS THIS MILLENNIAL SCHMUK SAID.
Actually, it's 100% Steve Perry speaking. Watch other older interviews ( '79 - '86 for example ). His speaking voice was at a lower register than his singing voice. Fast forward to '94 - present and his speaking voice is almost at a higher register than his singing voice. Odd but true...
+ pat jubran Absolutely phenomenal singer. Saw him with Journey in '80, '81, '86 and solo '94. Kinda hope he tours his new album and plays the Fox here in Atlanta. We'll see...
You're ALL LEMMINGS!! This is NOT Perry's voice, his vocabulary & tone are diametrically opposed. Perry has NEVER describe any music are "virtuosity", especially TWICE in 1 statement . . Perry was much more a flower child, not using 5 syllable words. NOT his tone, voice, nor his range. NO tin foil, just a singers & muses ear. FAKE INTERVIEW = FAKE news. :)
This is Steve. His voice has changed as he's aged - it's gotten a little higher and raspier. Even his laugh is higher. The way he sorta smacks his lips when he pauses, the way he takes deep breaths at times: It's him. And Steve is very meta, so yeah, he uses "5 syllable words."
@@lkey4045 Yup!! I MET him in '94, this actor sounds NOTHING like him. Got pix w/him & his SIG. on my 12-String Guild. LEMMINGS!!! LEMMINGS are making our country FALL!! PUT ON your thinking caps!
I love how he is respectful and doesn't swear or had enough respect not to have women in dog collars and leather in their videos. No wonder we all love him back.
He was 28 when he gave that interview🌤words of a wise man from the mouth of a man who still looked like a Teenager. Adorable

He is not only vocally talented but is musically talented and very smart business man. Not to mention so handsome.
Over 50, never that would be a qualifier for me but here we are. And Steve Perry was my fathers nightmare so I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle in Texas. I did find cowboys but Steve is still my dream guy.
A gift from God ....i think the same
11-22-2021the voice will live on forever
And on top of all that, today's Journey wouldn't have a catalog to sing in concert, were it not for Steve's part in writing.....
Steve Perry is the best to ever do it. Simple as that.
Preach!

He's truly insightful and extremely passionate about the music. Love him.💖
What a great guy! Total dream man
Fabulous interview !!! Greatest artist !
Without Perry there is no Journey.
Amen
They existed for years before and years after him.
@@jamesrudd8705 they were sinking though. Just being a band doesn't mean much .
@@jamesrudd8705 .... But not with the fame they had with Steve.
The pure truth...!!!
The first thing I noticed is that Steve sounds like he has a cold. His speaking voice is a lot lower than I have heard and he sounds congested. And at 5:37 you can hear him sniffle. Poor baby, I'll bet it's hard to keep performing when you're sick. I love this interview, he's so honest!!!
Thanks Mariet. Steve is our Gem. I love listening to him. :)))
I think Steve was right about his decision having had extensive back surgery myself I had the surgery and still hurt every day so I don't blame Steve at all for wanting to try everything he could before having surgery it was Steve's body not Neal and Jon"s it was major surgery no one in their right mind wants to have that done until you've tried everything else than surgery is your last option I can about guess Steve has some pain still because arthritis usually sets in with this kind of surgery

So, when is the moving coming out?
No.
I ordered Perry off the Road.
There was no rift
between Dino and the Dyanmos (Neil )
etc.

I had nothing to do with his hip or surger...

just as a note

What kind of drugs are you on?
@@maryradloff3594 Clearly not strong enough.
Van Halen blew Journey away touring together in 1978 kids!
