I'm so proud of him for being so damn real......no one ever in the limelight, being a big star and all would admit they were on welfare to eat, he is so pure and honest....I use him as an example with my parents I work with, simply as in setting goals can be anything they wish if they are willing to work and have faith.....thank you steve for being a real guy and never forgetting where your dreams came from

Steve, you are amazing. You deserve all the success you have achieved. You said your voice is a little different. I agree with that. You and your voice are still amazing. Your heart is a big part of why you are loved.

This man is so talented.. I wish he'd come back and sing for us again.

Steve you have a beautiful voice,you are a very good looking man,and the way you always handled yourself makes you even more good looking.take care

Love You Steve!! Thank God you didn't give up seeking an amazing singing career. What a Blessing to yourself, but to the World!!!

The interviewer asked great questions and this interview shows Steve Perry's high intellect. Thanks for posting!

Steve Perry. Heartthrob!

I miss these guys. But I especially miss Steve Perry. Hearing his voice again, whatever shape it may be in, would be wonderful. Too bad I was too young to have seen these guys in concert, that would have been something...

One Hell of a gentleman.

he still so amazing and incredibly talented. He’s the whole package! Talent, looks everything!

Steves voice I has perfection. He brought Journey. To life. No one could ever take his I don't care who sings with Journey it's Journey without him. Besides being sexy and just everything about him. He's very intelligent and soft spoken and has so much ]talent that no one No one can take his place. Not Ariel or any one else for that mattet.

It makes me cry to hear the original ballads the beautiful harmonies and I miss you Steve Perry your warm and appealing voice. I saw Steve Augeri in Concert and he sang well but... I wanted to give him a chance His voice did not have the same effect, the emotional grip on the heart. Be well and be happy

Cute cute and that laugh ❤️ I loved journey and his vocals , just unreal his range. Girl Crush 😍

First time I heard you sing I became an instant Journey and Steve Perry fan. Your voice is angelic

Steve really is super able to communicate with such precision- love his personality as well as his awesome VOICE and looks/ I used to be told I looked like him back when I wore layers in the ‘80s LOL / I would be s thrilled to meet him man!! 🤩💟🙌

His laugh just gets me... soo cute!

Wow this is a very honest & real inerview.

Great soulful voice that reaches your inner core, beautiful face, hair, and body but very humble, intelligent and well spoken which are the most sexiest things about Steve Perry! 🤗🤗🥰🥰😍😍

Thank you for sharing this! I really enjoyed hearing him speak.

He's so Hot in every way🎆🔥😍

Thank you for these & thank you VeriSheri for sharing !!! Love it !!!

Thanks for sharing! Journey forever

I have to agree - Steve is one of the finest singers of all time! Others that, in my opinion come to mind are (were) Brad Delp from Boston and Jami Jamison from Survivor - all 3 have voices that are not very easily matched!

Love to hear Steve talk 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love Steve Perry.

You guys had what I used to call"" the true" talent and you can always tell watching true talent in concerts, the band" Heart" too they sound on stage even ZZtop sounds awesome but true gifts.

All the 'Good Music' is playing (Thankfully) on KZread. Today's stuff, is just that...'Stuff.'

I closed my eyes to wholly hear and absorb the unique tones and depth of his art-as all-encompassing to me as when I gazed from the view of Monet's Japanese bridge at Giverny above the water lilies and watched the willows dance in the breeze as it ruffled my hair, soaking in the fragrance of the foliage wafting through the air and listened to the birds do their original rendition of song. For those few minutes, everything else in the world disappeared... By Zoo-Lady 7/31/11 twopoles poetry blog

Well well said.....your so right!!!

I understand him! But then I once sang profesionally! At the same time I was trying to stay in a love relationship,please all my band members,and managers! I get it all! Wut I love about STEVIE is he's as true as he can to himself first then those close and intwined! To have gone as far and long as he has it to a whole lot!! I admire him! He stepped bk 4gd reason and he sabed hmslf 4 doing that! 2me he's da man! Its rough 4 all emtertainers,but an open ,loving,realistic,fam.& oriented lead singer the presure is real! My hat goes off to hom!! He took his chances,he pay'd the price,he survived and evrybdy gained fans alike because of his choices! Oh,and "I blieve" tripped me out...damned gd wrk!! But being free is being you,doing you where ever you are! I love you Stevie! Your girl, VELVET Ps. Thnx 4 surviving,welcome back,"we're still here" and we waited becoz your worth it! Dont 4get 2 do Peo. Il I promise I am front row seated say the word!"TOUR"!

The band that Steve Perry mentions was copying them is Survivor with their song Eye of the Tiger. If you go and listen to it, it really does sound a lot like Steve Perry!

I think he's says that too because he is/was a perfectionist which he did say in an interview before, so I'm not making it up. As a singer myself you're always feeling like you're just not quite there( vocally), you'll have moments where you'll like the way you sing a certain part of a song and it sounds the way you heard it in your head but it's never usually the whole songs that you like. In the past, when I would listen to the playback of me singing it was like listening to my voicemail recording, so just imagine that 😄. Overtime though I've been able to get past it, especially since I want to improve my voice, so I need to hear what areas need improvement, but If I hear my recordings for long periods of time it starts to become a bit annoying. I don't even get me started on live performing, that's the time when you really pick apart every single thing you did.

Before Steve teamed up with Neal Schon he had been so disappointed by the lack of oppourtunities that he told his mom he was going to give up on the hopes of a musical career. She encouraged him to keep his dream alive...and shortly after got the call from Journey's manager.

Sometimes (often) an interviewer can ask the dumbest questions - Are you sick of Journey! Like he'd say it if he was.

Who was Steve referring to as bands/performers that would copy his/Journey’s style? Because the winner of the 1982 Grammy in that category was “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Is this who he was referring to?

Who IS THIS INTERVIEWER?!? She's TERRIBLE!!! At least, here he is truthful about his voice that it is different.

What's with the interviewer, her leading questions and snarky tone. It's like she's trying to put Steve in a defensive position. It's that Barbara Walters dramatic style I can't stand. Just talk to him, like a normal conversation!

At the end of the interview, Steve is referring to Dave Bickler (Bud Light Real Men of Genius ads) of Survivor, who beat out Steve and KL for the 1983 Grammy. Eye of the Tiger was so huge from Rocky III that there was no way in hell Don't Fight It could win against it. Bickler was an outstanding tenor in his own right. Sounds like a little bit of sour grapes to me, Steve. lol
