wow, never knew Steve Perry didn't like the lime light. He performed because he loved it and the audience loved it. He really is a very real person and cares about the quality of his music and how we as an audience feel about it. Appreciate his honesty, great interview!
Steve..would LUV to come to hear you LIVE... if you ever do decide to sing again....but, just so you know, you have always been my favorite to listen to, putting me in a great mood! If you only have one concert...make sure its a HUGE place, cause we've all been waiting a very long time... and I'm sure everyone will want the chance to hear you sing once more.
Thank you so much for posting this. It's so good to hear him speak about the past, present and future and how he feels. I can only hope and pray that he does go into the studio and record again. Please do. We MISS YOU!!!
"we're all Raised on Radio" Awesome Steve!!! Good to hear that you are getting some new music together and we are waiting to hear it!!! See you on the Radio.
I think Steve is done performing and has made it quite clear he likes his life as it is - quiet and his own. Guess we can be glad we have RUclips to remind us of his wonderful talent and "better times". Live your life to the full Steve - but we will always miss you! Your voice and talent are without equal! Thanks for the memories!
I was a Steve Perry fan before he was with Journey. First saw him in aug/sept of 1973 on a pbs station in Denver fell in love with his voice then and I still am. His voice is GOLDEN to this day. I think that the band helped more people to hear his beautiful voice, but I do believe that somehow someway he would of been heard. Without him journey would of been a has been band. I always wanted to be famous just so I could meet Steve, can't get enough of his singing and I can't wait to hear more
I just love his emotional truthness.He wears his heart on his sleeve..He made Journey to the heights of stardom and they repaid him with betrayal ..Also the emotional damage to him had to be great! He gave the band Journey everything he had to make it be a great band .I hope he is emotionally healed now to where he truly can love and trust music and sing again!!
Thankyou Merry for posting!!!! I was at work yesterday- was hoping someone would post this so I could listen to it!!! I'm a RN in Pain Management...if he is having pain and dealing with the aging process as we all are (I wish I could do stuff I used to do to!!!), then a DJ may be perfect for him. He's got the expertise, the voice, would give him gratification, the adoration and some celebrity-ness. He could still dabble with singing, but not have to go on a grueling tour! May be a good option!
He sounds so authentic. He seems like a friend you could sit and talk to for hours. His life and his career got out of balance and he needed some serious downtime. Sometimes life forces you on a different path. The loss of not being able to perform on stage and the emptiness left in his chest have made him very humble. I admire his honesty. What he has experienced has made him very mature. Best of luck to him.
I love Steve Perry and agree with several posts on here. He is what made Journey!! I wish he would just go around the country just 1 more time for his "true" fans. I am glad that he did decide to sing for Journey or we would have missed his beautiful voice and him in general. He's a beautiful person inside and out. God Bless you Steve and hope your health only gets better. We LOVE you. We don't care about Journey! It's all about Steve!! Forever yours, faithfully!! XOXOXO
We Will always Love you Stevie! Still waiting faithfully for you to sing & record for us again! I am so inspired when I listen to your music, which is most of the time!
Mr. Perry, if you read these posts, I am one person that will be in line waiting for your release! I have wondered why you haven't at least made an appearance on American Idol, I know Randy Jackson speaks highly of you, I would have loved to see you as a guess host, a few singers in the past have chosen Journey material. Because if truth be told, you are the ultimate American Idol no doubt, at least for my generation!
He will not do that because he believes that no one should or can judge someone else's passion. He said he was passed over so many times and a lot of times he had to talk his way into a gig. So because "Herbie believed in me", he doesn't feel its right for someone else's passion to be killed because of someone else's prejudice.
@brokenwingb4 Thanks, I'm glad you liked them....My favorite Steve Perry look was the Street Talk look but I loved his long hair too. I thought he looked so handsome in the Atlanta pic taken back in March. It really reminded me of the Street Talk look.
I really believe that one is whole when they practice whom they are as an artist, one becomes empty when they let go of whom they are... We are given the gift to be an artist we need it in our lives. We need to listen to our inner self and not what others want or think. Sometimes it's nice to hear what others have to say but what really matters is whom we are and do what you love. You will find whom you are in what you love to do and can't seem to live without. For me it's been music and art!
See Steve is honest about what he be saying. Doing all of the interviews I have heard. Good for U , for telling the truth about your time with Journey.
I like how Steve gracefully bowed out from something that was truly his passion even as popular as journey was he listened to his body and heart, left in his prime to enjoy other venues in this short life we're given, as he said he's older now and we can all agree the body can't do the moves it could do in your much younger years, he wants to get back to where he started and enjoy in peace what's left of his life in private in his own way and time, especially since he's given us decades of his time....
Looking back, the Journey split was the evolution of a group of people. Think about your personal workplace. Steve Perry, Neal, Jonathan, Steve Smith, Greg, and Ross in the late 70's and 80's were the perfect storm of Rock n' Roll. All were at the top of their game and very talented. They are the band of my high school experience and a blessing to us all.
No, absolutely wrong. Steves voice is by far the best in the music business. Journey without Steve is like The Police without Sting. Arnel has its own way of singing but he will never make us forget where Steve Perry took Journey, way up there. Now is case closed.
Sandra Kinney ..that was before,20+ years ago,my god if he cares for fans he would haven't left the band but he did w/out even saying a word.move on people...
@lixdrei ...cont In the early years Journey toured like hell. When Steve's hip needed replacing during TBF ERA..Neal Schon..was to inmature and Impatient to wait for it to be done and actually thought he could re-place Steve Perry THE VOICE! He interviewed singers to re-place Steve and then being to gutless himself , he had Jonathan Cain to call Steve and give him the ultamatium to come back now or be re-placed. Like Steve Perry said...his surgery was not a group decision.
Why he'd mention age was a factor really shocks me! The man the voice is forever! Flash now to 2021.Still as delicious and fine as ever the voice, the look and the man and I'm loving the last album and waiting the nxt! Oh,and I'm still loving you Stevie!Still your girl!We beat covid 19,now make track's to PEORIA...I'll be there for another concert! Your girl, VELVET💖
Come one guys,give AP some credit.He's got an AMAZING gift.He is a fan of Perry just as much as you.We all miss Steve and he is legendary but he isn't with journey anymore,AP isn't gonna take the place of Perry in the hearts of Journey fans but he gives the songs justice and that is hard to do...
@lixdrei Well if you are not able to appreciate the quality and difference in their voices.....then I can see how you listen to whom ever sings them,... but I'm not tone deaf..... and if I'm going to listen to the Classic Journey songs,... then I'd rather hear the original singer of them. THE VOICE!!
I think if Steve released some solo stuff it would take off & he'd definitely be a hit. His voice is awesome and IMO Journey isn't "Journey" without Steve. It's not the same without him. It's like Karaoke or something. He not only sang beautifully, he wrote and co-wrote the songs. Do it Steve, come back to us I'm sure there are a lot of other people out there who would love to hear you and would buy your music!!! :)
I think we who do not live his life... or with him... have the right to tell him what's best, or whether he should sing or not. We do not know what struggles and trials he has every day, so we do not qualify to tell him what's best or have the right to tell him to stay away.
Great interview! Wow, I hope he allows himself to share his new music with his fans. Let's face it, he can do no wrong in the eyes and the ears of his fans. If only he could believe that.......
Yep Lexdrei you can REALLY tell that steve has a huge ego. Have you heard any of his interviews from the earlier days? Seriously? He is one of the most humble men on the earth to me he is a true icon.
no doubt. Neal is arragant. you can tell by his interviews. . STEVE PERRY was the voice of JOURNEY. they are now just trying to immitate his sound. NEVER WILL HAPPEN. they play so loud now as to drown out Arnel.......
Para mim, Que moro no Brasil, nao Estar Perto e a par de Tudo ... SINTO ASSIM MESMO que Banda journey Não " É NADA" sem O vocalista STEVE PERRY ... e sei Que milhares de fãs no Mundo inteiro pensam ASSIM!!
He is just a little cutie with the sexy handsome man inside. I wish he would talk about himself more because we the fans miss him so. We Love You Steve.🥰😘💋💜🦋
I can relate to what he says about writing, giving himself the right to be stupid, and being his own worst critic. Writing is brutal, because your judgement on it is ever changing. It looks cheaper and cheaper, as well as less relevant than you initially thought. Sometimes you don't even know what to believe when people tell you they like it. It can be flattering, or you wonder if they are telling the truth.
He KNOWS how loyal his fans have been and are, but he is is own worst critic---how can we convince him that we love him unconditionally, warts and all, and that we want MORE?? Patiently (grrrrr) waiting....
@2009jeroen Journey was NOT successful until Steve came along. Columbia was going to cancel their contract. Then Steve came along and saved their butt. If he had not then there would of been NO Journey for Arnel to sing with today.
There's fault all around for the total fallout after 'Trial By Fire'. That damn record was and is so amazing..it's a tragedy they didn't tour it w/Steve Perry. But, things happen, fault on all sides. I hope Steve & Neal patch things up, or Jonathan & Steve..or all of them.
Dear me, 'dabbling' Hurry up, Steve, dabble faster. Time waits for no one lol... find ur therapist, vocal coach, chef, trainer, blogger and a road crew. You will get more positive reinforcement that anyone could handle. How about sold out shows like FTLOSM tour? Thoroughly enjoyable. My 16 y.o. nephew is waiting to hear you live lolol... we are all in a place, starving not only for class, quality, showmanship but, sadly, a bit of the past. Start small, start your memoirs, and take the world!
@ChrisRedfieldChannel Pineda is there till Neal Schon gets tired of him. Then he'll get rid of him as he has others after Steve Perry. Neal is a user and Arnel Pineda is his little Puppet. Doing what ever he is told to like a good little boy.
i could listen to him talk all the time love his laugh too.hes just so really amazingly talanted & super sexy to watchwonder what hes like at just bein home!!!!!!
@zeratulalbo Oh I agree the magic 5 were/are kickass musicians, but I think Neal was the jealous one with the Big Ego. He STILL has a big ego. He ACTUALLY took a picture of his penis and sent it to a woman I know. While stringing her along....he got married briefly....then dumped the wife for Real Housewives of D.C.s Michaele Salahi. All within a short period. He's a sleeze bag. His ego also makes him think that it's alright to string women along.
A grassroots movement has begun to nominate StevePerry for the Kennedy Center Honors for his musical career as well as for his quiet humanitarian efforts in behalf of so many. Here is the link to submit a nomination: t.co/7k2yELAgd3
I love that... he has to give himself the right to come up with stupidity which is perfect which sounds like an oxymoron but I think if I'm right all of his fans that really cared about his music and his vocal cords and his happiness just want him to be happy man
If Neal Schon ever felt the time would be right to get Steve back THIS IS IT - or - it's over for the "real" Journey. However, best to Steve regardless.
Getting back into the music....When you get your songs together -Steve would you consider a smaller venue like El Cajon Performing Arts Center or Humphreys..or Ramona Mainstage ( very intimate/small) .there must be talented musicians in San Diego for you to work with? San Diego fans want to hear you!
what is your problem diana? This man is a legend .. and if you do not like him turn off the radio, go watch another video, simply leave this for those who like him. Grow up
On FB's Rubicon Entertainment's Journey Rock Hall of Fame Page: Neal Schon "It was great to see Steve Perry helping at the Giants game... Too bad he didn't sing- the National Anthem... or God Bless America... I'm sure they would have let him....:))) Oh well... You can come see Us this next year and the ...year after that perform all over the world... Have a Great weekend." Such a Jealous little man tooting his own horn. >:(
@valdis2006 Problem is Neal Schon is too Jealous and Insecure and doesn't really want Steve back in the Band. With Arnel he can say jump and Arnel asks how high. He can't tell Steve what to do like that. On Neal's FB page refering to Steve at the Giants Game he wrote: "To bad Steve Perry didn't (sing) at the game...;))) I'm sure he could have if he wanted. See you next year all over the world... Neal Schon of JOURNEY..;)))"
Neil Schon is one of the best guitarist that I have ever heard and I am absolutely in awww with his perfection to play the guitar, but to be honest I think he is a rude and hateful person. He is a complete ass and very egotistical. Controlling and power hungry as related to when he and Johnathon fired Steve. With Neal it is all about money and staying on top of the game. Neal has no class as a human being especially the way he and Johnathon treated Steve is despicable. They should be ashamed of themselves, but with Neal's overabundance in ego all he can do is make smart a.. remarks about Steve. I understand that Neal and Johnathon are having problems getting along. I understand that Neil is making distasteful and mean comments about Johnathon. So, Neil is treating Johnathon the same way he treated Steve. Neil continues to say bad things about Steve, but Steve has class and as far as I know Steve has never talked and said untruths about Neil, Johnathon, and the rest of the band. Also, I understand that Neil fired Steve who played the drums forever for Journey and Ross who plays the bass. He has been with Journey from the very beginning and before Steve came into the story.
saw that video, capture by your eyes : prisoner _ by Barbara Streisand, It's OK lock me in, keep the keys or get rid of it, I will stay where I feel safe
wow, never knew Steve Perry didn't like the lime light. He performed because he loved it and the audience loved it. He really is a very real person and cares about the quality of his music and how we as an audience feel about it. Appreciate his honesty, great interview!
I've actually heard he is shy.
Traduci in italiano
His speaking voice and laughter is as addictive as his singing voice!!!
YES, so true!
He seems like a upbeat kind of guy. He always laughs in interviews.
Lets just be happy that Steve Perry was born and gave all this greatness.
After all,he is the Grandfather of mimics to come.
Steve..would LUV to come to hear you LIVE... if you ever do decide to sing again....but, just so you know, you have always been my favorite to listen to, putting me in a great mood! If you only have one concert...make sure its a HUGE place, cause we've all been waiting a very long time... and I'm sure everyone will want the chance to hear you sing once more.
Thank you so much for posting this interview.
Steve, thank you for the interview, we love to hear you speak. We love you.
Thanks for sharing, merrypeary! Love hearing his VOICE!!! ALWAYS!!!

thank you for all these shots with his super long and gorgeous hair!
What a great man and interview!
I love this man and his vocal talents.He is so passionate when he sings.A very down-to-earth guy.Please Steve keep making music.We love you.
You're Welcome. I was excited to hear him and wanted all the Perry sisters to enjoy also.
THANK YOU AGAIN! You are AWESOME perrysister!

I love to hear this man speak and sing! Please Steve I hope you sing live again.
Me too. He's such a complicated man.....We gotta love him, warts and all, and I do! Forever.
The best singer all around,I have been in love with him since I first heard him.He is so genuine,and sings with so much emotion,a truely humble man.
Loved him then, love him now... 💙
I just love his emotional truthness.He wears his heart on his sleeve..He made Journey to the heights of stardom and they repaid him with betrayal ..Also the emotional damage to him had to be great! He gave the band Journey everything he had to make it be a great band .I hope he is emotionally healed now to where he truly can love and trust music and sing again!!
He talks about the pain from time to time.

I love that... he has to give himself the right to come up with stupidity which is perfect which sounds like an oxymoron but I think if I'm right all of his fans that really cared about his music and his vocal cords and his happiness just want him to be happy man
If Neal Schon ever felt the time would be right to get Steve back THIS IS IT - or - it's over for the "real" Journey. However, best to Steve regardless.
Getting back into the music....When you get your songs together -Steve would you consider a smaller venue like El Cajon Performing Arts Center or Humphreys..or Ramona Mainstage ( very intimate/small) .there must be talented musicians in San Diego for you to work with? San Diego fans want to hear you!
journey hasnt had a hit since perry,going on 15 yrs.journey arent anything without perry.journey 78-96
Actually that's not exactly true. I believe I read some interesting stats that said that one of their albums went to #5 in the billboards charts.
what is your problem diana? This man is a legend .. and if you do not like him turn off the radio, go watch another video, simply leave this for those who like him. Grow up
sorry about that people in radio land haha funny
Steve needs to put a new band together and thrill his fans again. The perfect name for the band "The Journeys End"
On FB's Rubicon Entertainment's Journey Rock Hall of Fame Page:
Neal Schon "It was great to see Steve Perry helping at the Giants game... Too bad he didn't sing- the National Anthem... or God Bless America... I'm sure they would have let him....:))) Oh well... You can come see Us this next year and the ...year after that perform all over the world... Have a Great weekend."
Such a Jealous little man tooting his own horn. >:(
At least Steve Perry gave inspiration to the Copycats ,as he is the original Grandfateher of Journey.
@valdis2006 Problem is Neal Schon is too Jealous and Insecure and doesn't really want Steve back in the Band. With Arnel he can say jump and Arnel asks how high. He can't tell Steve what to do like that.
On Neal's FB page refering to Steve at the Giants Game he wrote:
"To bad Steve Perry didn't (sing) at the game...;))) I'm sure he could have if he wanted. See you next year all over the world... Neal Schon of JOURNEY..;)))"
Neil Schon is one of the best guitarist that I have ever heard and I am absolutely in awww with his perfection to play the guitar, but to be honest I think he is a rude and hateful person. He is a complete ass and very egotistical. Controlling and power hungry as related to when he and Johnathon fired Steve. With Neal it is all about money and staying on top of the game. Neal has no class as a human being especially the way he and Johnathon treated Steve is despicable. They should be ashamed of themselves, but with Neal's overabundance in ego all he can do is make smart a.. remarks about Steve. I understand that Neal and Johnathon are having problems getting along. I understand that Neil is making distasteful and mean comments about Johnathon. So, Neil is treating Johnathon the same way he treated Steve. Neil continues to say bad things about Steve, but Steve has class and as far as I know Steve has never talked and said untruths about Neil, Johnathon, and the rest of the band. Also, I understand that Neil fired Steve who played the drums forever for Journey and Ross who plays the bass. He has been with Journey from the very beginning and before Steve came into the story.
saw that video, capture by your eyes : prisoner _ by Barbara Streisand, It's OK lock me in, keep the keys or get rid of it, I will stay where I feel safe
