No one will ever come close to the great Steve Perry. The Voice that has provided me with immense joy over many decades of my life. May he continue to live a long and healthy life.
Dear Steve, Following you since I was 12 years old ...I’m 53 and still following ..... I never got to see a concert but you voice made it seem Like I did...always strikes a nerve in my Soul. The world is Lucky to have you. Thank You For being so Angelic 🙏🏼
Queen fans would have an argument about the best voice claim. He definitely had a distinctive and powerful voice. One of those you'd recognize as soon as you heard it.
Steve; you truly brought joy and the soundtrack of our lives. I don’t think you have any idea how deeply you touched our lives. Back then; but now also of our latter years as grandparents looking back on our lives with smiles and a few regrets! Traces is the soundtrack for our last decade or so of our life. And we truly adore you!
Just so happy-- for him, but mostly for all of us. At 64, I would have waited to the end to hear Steve Perry sing again. It really does mean the world to us. October 5!!!
I believe there comes a time in everyone's lives- that no matter how much we love what we do, we go through our own level of "burn out". And Steve's career consumed him 24 hours a day, for years. I'm just so glad he decided to come back and share some more of his life with us.
I’m 49 and Journey with Steve Perry has always been in my life and I have been missing his voice for so long! I was so upset he didn’t tour Houston after the release of his album For the love of strange medicine! I loved the cd and even bought a bootleg of a show online. To me the greatest male vocalist of all time! I already purchased the new album,cd and whatever autographed because I love the guy! Sure hope he tours in my area. Would love to see him one more time. 1987 was the last time I saw him live and it was amazing!!!!
He is a wonderful soulful very humble real down to earth man.....behind all his beautiful beautiful music. He is amazing. I wish all men had his outlook on life and aspire to be like him. Its just the way he carries himself. His music speaks volumes....I am thankful I am in the generation I am and got to go on this Journey with him!!!! I listen to him just speak in his interviews and then I LISTEN to each album over and over every night as i go to sleep.. Just eloquence and poetry in motion....Love you Steve!!!!! NOTHINGS CHANGED THOSE VOCALS ARE ABSOLUTELY STILL THERE WHAT A COMEBACK!!!
Considering They were THE MOST popular band in America, I'd say he accomplished enough, but if he could keep one foot on the ground, he could tour the atmosphere again now and we'd be right there with him, but if not I'm happy he gave us this much! Love you STEVE PERRY!
When we think of "rock stars," this guy obviously rises to the top. To hear one of these icons talk from his heart and be as humble as he is ... well, I'll be rooting for him and for his new album. Honestly, have never heard an icon as humble as this guy. Wow ... almost restores my hope in humanity ... almost.
So very thankful for the return of The Voice. I am so happy for Steve that he is in a good place now and that a true love of music now again holds a special place in his heart.
Steve is super nice and appreciative to his fans. Great new song. I can't stop playing it over and over. My son walked in the kitchen and said Hey , who is that singing ? He loved it. Way to go Steve. You knocked it out of the park.
I'm so happy Steve Perry is back!!! I as well for many faithful fans have been waiting for this a looong time! I really hope he would write a book for his fans and others so we can get to know much more of him. The book would hit the universe if he did! Can't wait to hear the new album! Welcome back Steve Perry!!!
Agreed with him about singing and how it messes with your mind. I play harp, and if I wear out my strings, I just buy a new set. If a singer "wears out their strings," they have a much bigger problem on their hands. When YOU are the device, that's crazymaking. Good on him for surviving it and sharing his gift with us again!
John Pistone He’s not gay at all and far from midget. He’s 5’7” and Arnel is like 5’3” ish. His gf Sherrie was in his video “Oh Sherrie” and they dated for close to 6 years - she was beautiful and his last gf Kellie Nash who died of cancer was pretty.
Thanks Eddie for letting us hear this wonderful interview. Steve is so down to earth and real. So honest. He came out of his darkest times and is walking in the sunshine again. His music is making me so happy. I love to hear him talk. I wish him love and happiness and if he does decide to do an occasional small gig, ask him to please consider the Palace Theater in Columbus, Ohio!
It is truly the best gift, giving the world your beautiful, amazing, wonderful voice. The interviews you have participated in let your fans see the beautiful person you are ❤.
One of the greatest voices in the music industry ever!!! I don't care how great all the singers that have sung in Journey since Steve has left, they never filled his shoes. Steve Perry is irreplaceable when it comes to the greatness of Journey. He is the original and he did not mimic anyone else.
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel Disagree. Covering 1 or 2 songs, or bits of them is a big difference from being a Sam Cooke mimic and not having or trying to have your own sound with your own songwriting merits. You only hear the Cooke turnaround during the Sam songs. Maybe twice otherwise. Um..."When you're in love" off FTLOSM. Nothing with Journey I can recall. Nor Street Talk. Again, I might not remember it right now. But it's memorable in itself. And I founded a new Perry/Journey tribute. I still sound like me. All the guys love how I sound, (not like a girly girl, more like Tina Turner, with some guts to it) but it's me. I'm not ever going to sound like Steve. Which is ok, because I sound very uniquely like me. :) And *nobody* sounds like me. lol. I sound more unique being powerful than ballads, where I end up.sounding like Karen Carpenter or Carly Simon. jmo :)
You’re awesome Steve, I’m a singer too , you’re one of my all-time favorites who influenced me...it’s so good to see you back in the scene again, looking forward to hearing your new music!!
Testament to just how vivid the changes in the industry have been since Steve stepped off....I JUST checked into the Billboard Top 200 chart ...JUST to see if 'Traces' might be anywhere on it. No surprise....it isn't. And it's unfortunate. You have a talent like this....in the industry as long as he'd been....enjoyed immense popularity, established himself as a distinguishable, indefatigable vocal phenom...24 years away from it, and all the excitement and hype generated from all of his radio appearances promoting the album (a very old-school method, by the by!!), and ...nowhere to be seen because of how people insist on obtaining music. I know that's how it's done these days...but Jesus...some of us really enjoy seeing the achievements our heroes reach. I know there's a lot of people who know this album's out there and how it sounds (which all by itself; yes...it matters tremendously), but it so deserved better recognition than it's gotten.
So true! And it would be the same if he were to get back together and create a new album with Journey. The album would do well it's first week, then fall out of the Top 200 the next. The tour would fill many seats though! It's just the state of the music industry today. Legacy acts do well on tour, but certainly can't sell albums!
@@ScottJohnson80 Yeh...and the lack of album sales for some reason just annoys me...back in the day, we had to buy albums on blind faith!!! And we either liked it in its entirety (or...near it) and dealt with the rest...hoping one 'clunker' or another would grow on us in time. And as much as I understand someone's (hell...anyone's) desire to download the songs they truly like once they hear them...fine!! I say PAY for them!!! Let the revenues of what you downloaded be the added financial assistance any band (veteran or non!!) could use to promote and budget a tour that just MIGHT have added visual value, thereby softening the blow of what the ticket might cost!
Excellent interview by Eddie Trunk with Steve Perry who's a genuine class act. Good to hear hear and see Steve making a strong comeback at the time when so many talents have departed and record sales are struggling. Let's hope this is a boost to a waning industry and a success for a well deserving artist with a genuine voice. Today's so called artists can't hold a candle to him... 😎🎸🎹🎛️🎼👍
Dude, thanks so much for posting this. Great interview man. Like time never left. Seems like 1981 all over..epic man. Def brought out the real Steve.. And Steve.. your right dude, we NEVER LEFT man
As your long long time fan, you are right, we never left you. ALways and forever your fan, I will never out grow you. THanks Steve for more of your God-given talent. Thanks for giving us your best.
I love his segment on his voice. I have been a singer for 15 years and he speaks the truth, it's physical you can lose it one day and it's back the next. Etc. very cool interview
How wonderful to hear that magnificent voice of the much loved and admired Steve Perry, love your music so much and looking forward to having the pleasure of listening to "Traces" you are my Hero xxxx love you to bits
Best therapy my Harley , know what he’s saying. And to know you needed to walk , is better then staying and who knows? It’s your life Steve not your fans. And we have the songs and that voice , still to listen too. Thanks for sharing your gift with us. God Bless 🙏❤️
For anyone that may not know, or truly understand, maybe a new generation curious about the truly great, authentic talent America produced, just listen 'Someday Soon' off of Departure. That's but one of many songs, including Steve's solo work, where it becomes more than just a stellar voice that goes from soaring to tenderness in a few bars but where you're rocked to the inner core of your being a soul. Few singers have done that to me, Steve's at the top. Then we can go down, so many, from Aretha, Donna, Prince (2nd) you name them. Do they do that to you? Take you away? Rock your very being? That's more than just music, it's healing. Am I being hyperbolical? Deservingly so. Thank you for sharing these interviews, I can't tell how great it is to see and hear Steve loving to sing again and seeing him healthy! ---Gary
We never stopped hearing his voice throughout the years. He's human and needed time to heal and recoup. Yes, he was away from us for a long time. But he met the right person to help find him again and had him make a promise to return to his passion of music that she could see. His love, Kelly, rip, helped bring him back to us to hear new songs from him. I was so excited to find out he is returning! He won't be running around on stage like he used to if he goes on tour. But he's older. Love you Steve ❤
Yeah that was great conversation. Far different than how I perceived him from the Behind the Music episode featuring Journey. I like how he talks about being aware of other singers of the time and trying to kick their ass vocally.
Steve, I love how you spoke about the difficulties and challenges we have as working singers. The section from 25:20 to 32:00 really resonated with me.
Love you Steve💕, when I hear the word JOURNEY, I only think of you ! YOU MADE JOURNEY !!! You are on your own and need God , yourself , family only !! You are AMAZING !!! 💕💕The stone might have broke , but you keep traces of all that's happened to you , Good for you !! Keep going forward love !!! Glad you enjoyed your life and healed.. new beginning , much admiration !!!!!!!
No pressure Steve-Just loved and missed and great to know you are doing well and coming ,chatting ect.Love hearing your voice again.Still handsome as ever.
Love Steve's interviews as I'm always learning something. You're right Steve your fans never left you in fact some of your fans were introducing your music to their kids and their grands. So glad i experienced the music of the 60's 70's & 80's. As Steve said there many great bands at the same time as Journey and so they fed off each other raising the bar on each other. Steve your'e the Voice and you're spectacular. Love your laugh, quick wit and smarts. RIP Kellie and thank you for bringing Steve back to us. Steve I'm so sorry you lost her but I'm glad you experienced that great love. From a 4-ever fan, know we all love you ❤
I will never forget Steve Perry coming out to meet the fans after the show on the Journey Infinity tour in 1979. I was a little confused because his shirt was tied in front like a chick’s. But that was a style thing. Anyway, he is a class act.
@@QueenJaneway...I don't know why, but yes, that style was popular among male rock bands, along with the long hair. (I was in high school in the late 70's.)
I met Steve at a karaoke show in Naples Florida while he was visiting the KJ Angelo. What a cool guy beyond his fame and accomplishments with Journey. Steve. So great to see you’re doing well!!! David L.
Thank you so very MUCH, for uploading this!!!! I've been wanting to hear this since it was announce about this interview!!! I'm a long time fan of Stephen's!!
Kirby Little ......... You DO know that his real full name is Stephen Ray Pereira!?!?! However, before he was born, as his family enter the US. They had to change the last name from Pereira to Perry. Thus.... Stephen Ray Perry ....aka.....Steve Perry!!
I just love this guy, Hes so nice, Met him a few times years ago right after He left Journey. Steve when you come to Detroit I want my interview ! Great video
Steve Perry interviews are always so real. He always tell very interesting things about his music and his personal life. I love you Steve you are the most for real celebrity that has ever given interviews. I always learn very interesting things about you past and present. I believe that to know you. Is to really love you. Who wouldn’t want to date or love you?❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥💯💯👍👍🌹🌹💋💋
Steve Perry is so smart, so nice and so loving. He is truly a gift to all of us from the Lord 🙏🏻 He’s so special, he can sing anything Love this man so much 💚💜❤️💙💛🧡 🎤🎸🎹🎼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I will try and make this 'Sweet and Simple' We waited 'Patiently' and 'Never stopped Believein' that you'd return. We love you 'Just the Same Way' we did in the 80's, and we are so glad you were able to 'Listen to Your Heart' and know when it was time to return. 'When you Love a Woman' like you did, it's not easy getting over her loss and we understand your pain and are here for you. Take care of yourself....and THANKS for all that you've given us! ------------------Your Fans.
Greg Rolie stopped cuz he was burnt out and would not accept “a million dollars” to go back on tour...no one questions that. Steve does it and he’s lambasted
Always be my favorite. I was 6 when he joined Journey, he was my first crush still my favorite musician. He is a legend and an incredible person not many are both. I wish my son and I could have seen him together ❤.
Love him, i cant imagine the amount of pressure he might feel from the expectations from fans. He isnt that 20 or 30 something year old we fell in love with and he wont sound exactly the same his voice has aged . But im so happy he's making music again and he is most beloved.
Musicians do have times where they start to burn out. They need time to recoup. No matter the years. Even if they never return to music they always stay in our hearts and ears. Especially with Steve Perry. ❤
My sister was in love with Perry back then. I didn't get it, but I wasn't into love ballad bands. I watched the documentary when Journey was looking for a replacement and finally settled on Pineda. My wife if a Filipina and until you have experience with it, you can't even fathom how poor these people are in the Philippines. This was like taking Pineda from the absolute gutter and turning him into a rich superstar. I have zero against him. He's such a modest, grateful guy who said he'd gladly step aside if Perry wanted to come back. That's integrity. You'd think Arnel would be worshiped in the Philippines, but the big superstar to them is Manny Pacquiao. I keep telling my wife that he's getting too old, but she doesn't get it.
Thank you Kellie for giving Steve back to us!
Very good point! So yes, thank you, Kellie.
I have thought yhe same thing myself. Thank you Dr Kellie Nash for bringing Steve back to us.
No one will ever come close to the great Steve Perry. The Voice that has provided me with immense joy over many decades of my life. May he continue to live a long and healthy life.
Steve may have left music for a time but the fans never left him. What a special reunion it is.
We missed him more than anyone else who quit. So glad he's back to be with us fans.
Dear Steve,
Following you since I was 12 years old ...I’m 53 and still following .....
I never got to see a concert but you voice made it seem Like I did...always strikes a nerve in my Soul.
The world is Lucky to have you.
Thank You
For being so Angelic 🙏🏼
Steve Perry the best rock voice ever.
It is so nice he is back making music.
Queen fans would have an argument about the best voice claim. He definitely had a distinctive and powerful voice. One of those you'd recognize as soon as you heard it.
Steve; you truly brought joy and the soundtrack of our lives. I don’t think you have any idea how deeply you touched our lives.

Kerry, I'm 49 as well and I agree with all that you've said. Steve Perry was a major part of our culture in our generation.
Absolutely love this man. He is so knowledgeable about music, so talented, so humble and such a gentleman.
He is a wonderful soulful very humble real down to earth man.....behind all his beautiful beautiful music. He is amazing. I wish all men had his outlook on life and aspire to be like him. Its just the way he carries himself. His music speaks volumes....I am thankful I am in the generation I am and got to go on this Journey with him!!!!

Yes, very

Such a beautiful man. What an awesome interview. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
This is great. Been hoping Steve was gonna come back for a long time. Possibly the most beloved American singer ever. At least one of them for sure.
Steve Perry's the man.great interview.
Agreed with him about singing and how it messes with your mind. I play harp, and if I wear out my strings, I just buy a new set. If a singer "wears out their strings," they have a much bigger problem on their hands. When YOU are the device, that's crazymaking. Good on him for surviving it and sharing his gift with us again!
The man will be 70 years old in January! He looks great.
Best voice ever!
Robert Farabaugh Steve or Eddie ? Please say Steve !🤣
Well... Chris Cornell was considered "The Voice" for many years... so he's no slouch.
Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry are the best voices of all time!!
John Pistone He’s not gay at all and far from midget. He’s 5’7” and Arnel is like 5’3” ish. His gf Sherrie was in his video “Oh Sherrie” and they dated for close to 6 years - she was beautiful and his last gf Kellie Nash who died of cancer was pretty.

John Katsoudas he also wrote majority of the hit songs and produced many of the albums.
It really has been way too long Steve Perry! So good to see you again 🙋🏻♀️😃❤️🌟👍🏻
Be good to yourself just took on a whole new meaning. He told us everything when he sung that song.
You’re awesome Steve, I’m a singer too , you’re one of my all-time favorites who influenced me...it’s so good to see you back in the scene again, looking forward to hearing your new music!!

I will never forget Steve Perry coming out to meet the fans after the show on the Journey Infinity tour in 1979. I was a little confused because his shirt was tied in front like a chick’s. But that was a style thing. Anyway, he is a class act.
I looooove his style those early years. I thought it was usual though in the 70's, maybe not?
@@QueenJaneway...I don't know why, but yes, that style was popular among male rock bands, along with the long hair. (I was in high school in the late 70's.)
ughhh i love steve so much
Best voice in rock
Steve is Awesome!
Thanks for the upload...Good interview. So glad Steve Perry is back !
I met Steve at a karaoke show in Naples Florida while he was visiting the KJ Angelo. What a cool guy beyond his fame and accomplishments with Journey. Steve. So great to see you’re doing well!!! David L.

Thank you so very MUCH, for uploading this!!!! I've been wanting to hear this since it was announce about this interview!!! I'm a long time fan of Stephen's!!
+Kirby Little, Stephen is his correct name. Steve is a nickname short for Stephen/Steven.
Kirby Little ......... You DO know that his real full name is Stephen Ray Pereira!?!?! However, before he was born, as his family enter the US. They had to change the last name from Pereira to Perry. Thus.... Stephen Ray Perry ....aka.....Steve Perry!!
GREAT interview! 💖

👍🎆🌈🌠🎉🕯🕯🕯🕯
Greg Rolie stopped cuz he was burnt out and would not accept “a million dollars” to go back on tour...no one questions that. Steve does it and he’s lambasted
Steve Perry what a cool guy
Always be my favorite. I was 6 when he joined Journey, he was my first crush still my favorite musician. He is a legend and an incredible person not many are both. I wish my son and I could have seen him together ❤.
about time, welcome back Steve!!!
Steve Perry is such a sweet man, no ego unlike cough, cough Schon.
And Cain. Perry and Smith seemed to have a lot in common though.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Love him, i cant imagine the amount of pressure he might feel from the expectations from fans. He isnt that 20 or 30 something year old we fell in love with and he wont sound exactly the same his voice has aged . But im so happy he's making music again and he is most beloved.
I loved you then and I Love you more now Steve Perry! I’m 66 in 2024 and I’m Still Here for you!♥️🌹💜🌹❌⭕️❌⭕️💋
Musicians do have times where they start to burn out. They need time to recoup. No matter the years. Even if they never return to music they always stay in our hearts and ears. Especially with Steve Perry. ❤
My sister was in love with Perry back then. I didn't get it, but I wasn't into love ballad bands.
I watched the documentary when Journey was looking for a replacement and finally settled on Pineda. My wife if a Filipina and until you have experience with it, you can't even fathom how poor these people are in the Philippines. This was like taking Pineda from the absolute gutter and turning him into a rich superstar. I have zero against him. He's such a modest, grateful guy who said he'd gladly step aside if Perry wanted to come back. That's integrity. You'd think Arnel would be worshiped in the Philippines, but the big superstar to them is Manny Pacquiao. I keep telling my wife that he's getting too old, but she doesn't get it.
Two real pros having a professional yet open and relaxed conversation. Well done, Mssrs. Trunk and Perry.
Love it Steve ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻
