I met Steve Perry a longtime ago in an elevator in San Francisco. I was 19, tried to remain calm, and said to him that I loved his music and he replied, that he loved the Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie I was eating. So I shared one with him! He thanked me and walked out of the elevator. My friend and I screamed so loud and jumped up and down when the elevator doors closed….I’m sure he heard us! One of the highlights of my existence! I’m 60 now and still love his music. Part of the soundtrack of my life✨💖
Oh my, I have had 2 elevator moments in my life. One was with a well know physicist in my little country (Trinidad), and the other was with a well known union leader - in my lil country LOL.
Good for him. Walked away on his own because he lost his passion for music. He could have kept playing songs and making millions but it didn't make him happy. You gotta respect that. It's human.
@Kim Wallace It's not like he won the lottery and quit his job at Walmart. It's hardly "easy" to walk away from the thing you've built your whole life around, I don't care how rich you are. Obviously you've never been passionate about something and then lost it. I have. It's anything but "easy".
We've already contracted with a mercenary army of Hessians to protect him wherever he goes. We will protect him at all costs. Even if it bankrupts the nation. Or increases carbon emissions.
What an amazing, down-to-earth, humble, unpretentious, laid back, unassuming, modest and genuine guy Steve is. The well-deserved fame never went to his head and he remembers, both literally and figuratively, where he came from. His kind of attitude and character is sorely missing in today's celebrities. They would do well to learn from his admirable example.
I'm not a native speaker of english so I admire the way u put words together, adjectives so exact to describe Steve...thanks for that cause I like him too🤗
well for your comment i assume you have to know him personally very well ,maybe you worked with him ,or you have a relation or friendship with him ? i suppose .cause , i talk by the way he treat his mates in the band is not much of a nice person , you know when somebody thinks of you you are an asshole is cause probably you are , and that is coming from somebody who has to deal with him in a daily basis as part of a team work . i dont know him but if the people who worked whit this guy , who were family with him and loved him , if they preffer to dont go deeper that way of expressing feelings its for something . not based on f...n interview
TOAST AND MARMALADE HE IS A SMERDOSO UPPITY PORTUGAL KING QUEEN OF ESKIMO AND THEMANN HIS GRANDFATHER IS THE KING OF SPAIN AND HIS FATHER IS KING RE OF SPAIN VIGO AND HIS MOTHER IS THE ACTOR THE BEST WOMAN TO PRODUCE MEN IN THE WHOLE WORLD YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF SEE MARMALADE THE BAND MAYBE YOU ARE RELATED TO THEM ......... HE IS NO EXAMPLE TO ANYONE BUT ME _ CHUCK THE TOASTER YODELLER !
I was blessed to have worked for their (Journey) production company, Nocturne Productions, in Oakland and in SF after Loma Prieta quake in 89. I didn't personally know Steve and the guys well enough to go hang out at their homes but they were in and out of the place. Actually, all of them were pretty chill back then. I worked in the stage lighting department most of the time. Was at a few rehearsals prior to the Raised On Radio tour. All is all, Steve Perry is one of the most gifted vocalists of our time, in my opionion. As well as a gentle and passionate person. I still go see the guys when they come to town, but it just ain't th' same magic anymore. Still love 'em though. :)
I agree he is a great singer, just not my sound. I prefer LOU GRAMM from Foreigner. Lou has a soulful sound that Perry doesn't. Both are powerhouse voices......Perry just isn't my sound. 🤗
@@masongarrett3066 And you look sillier. Beside what silly about saying a man looks his age and confessing you enjoy his music. Trix are for kids comment with people closer to your age group.
@@justtimm1255 What's rude, crass and dumb...is you commenting something negative about someone that looks great for their age...trix maybe for kids...but they are definitely reserved for asinine idiots like you!
@@masongarrett3066 again how is saying someone looks their age negative. It's obvious you are into your feelings like a little female. And remember you insulted me first and now you want to call some one rude and crass. Lol

Sandy, he really is that. Neal Schon is a total jerk, but Steve is a sweetheart. My former boyfriend, who I'm still friends with, was one of their roadies for many years. He says Steve was a lovely man and immensely kind to the crew.

It never will be the same without Perry. I could care less anyway. I have been waiting and hoping Steve would return to music. I hope he tours near me so I can see him live.
Steve Perry has the most amazing voice, and I was devestated when he left Journey. I am so sad that he lost his love to cancer. Success and money do not fill your heart and soul, but I hope he realizes just how much his fans love and miss his music which gave us so much joy and memories. No one will ever match your talent. Love to you!
@Steve Perry Thank you for responding to my heartfelt comments. I grew up loving Motown and the Beatles. Music today with some exceptions does not express the lyrics of love and loss like yours. Adele and Ed Shearing have produced some really moving and soulful songs, but others have failed. I am 75, but I still can sing my most favorite songs. Your love is not gone..she is in your heart forever. Love does live on. Your most avid fan!
YOU ARE SO CONNED BY THE ILLUSION OF THE ONE DIMENSION TV HE IS REALLY BITTER TRY TO GET NEAR HIM IF YOU ARE NOT ME HIS WIFE HE SMELLS YOU OFF LIKE WITH THAT SKUNK SMELL HE IS A KING AND I AM HIS QUEEN REALLY HE DOES NOT HAVE THE OTHER KIND OF GOD WE ARE LIVING GOD AND GODDESS EACHOTHER PURPLEHAZE WAS AN ACTION BOMB TO KILL WELL TO DO FAMILIES VIRGIN TO VIRGIN THOSE STADIUMS ARE OFTEN LOCKED AND THEY BLAISE MARIE THE WHOLE TOWN TOO BE CAREFUL HE IS A GENERAL WHO EXECUTED 48097 STADIUM EMPIRES FOR COMPETITION
Fantasy - the world of fantasy! You and most the Steve Perry ass kissing, don't know shit, can believe what you want. But get your facts straight before you decide to go down to the balls in public. Steve Perry didn't take journey anywhere, five hardworking people who had great chemistry working together "led them to mega-stardom" Out of those five, three of and two future bandmates with a hardworking manager made journey what they were and are today. Steve Perry is a quitter who seems to blame the others for the choices he made and he doesn't give two shits about you or his bandmates. If he had any give a shit about his fans or bandmates he would have played with them at the RRHF if it were to stand and hmm. So please you SP fans are a special breed that should learn facts and shut the fuck up.
@@greenhornet8262 not at all i allowed myself to lose my mind and behaved like a child. With that said , Its not Steve Perry at all because that band bs is non of my business. Its the SP fans who always seem to think Arnel had something to do with the SP Journey break up. AP did what all the SP fans would do if had the chance. Personally i feel if SP gave two shits about the fans he would have performed with the band at the RRHF.
Love Steve Perry. That voice is astounding. So happy he is back and thank you Kelly Nash for encouraging him to return to his fans to bless us with that beautiful voice.

That is why I love this guy. He is a down to earth person, great personality with a wonderful voice. Even today, you see Steve Perry for WHO he is. Simple, heartwarming, caring man with dynamic vocal singing talent. A man with simple integrity that is so grounded. We love you, Steve Perry! ❤
well if you make up and dye your hair after an entire live of taking care of your image as part of your professsional life and if you dont have to go up in a scaffold 8 to 10 hours a day to earn your bread , of course you are going to look better than the average men of your age . for gods sake what kind of comment is that .
@@Old-Skull. I agree with some of what you say. A hard life can contribute to looking older faster. I also think taking care of yourself through exercise, diet and other healthy regimens help. How much can money buy? Is it sunscreen or cosmetic procedure? He could also have really good genes. Or all of the above

Steve Perry- you are so loved. I had a decades long crush on you. I don't know when or if that ended. I have unending respect, admiration and love for you. You strength is amazing. I am so sorry for your loss. You deserved an angel and deserved to have her forever (I guess in your heart, you always will). RIP Kelly Nash. Thank you Steve Perry. I am just one of the millions whose lives you have touched.
Hi Jimmy and thank you. I hope you find love back. You give it, as your thoughts and words clearly demonstrate, but, no doubt it's hard to find. I eventually did and that beautiful, sad person suicided. I all too often find myself using the phrase, RIP. I am so happy that Steve Perry is not someone I have to say that to (about-I don't know him personally). Seems his strength is as incredible as his voice.
I love a lot of 80's music, and Journey is one of my favorites. Glad to see Steve singing again! Sorry for your loss, I hope you find someone who can help heal your heart.
I don't know Steve but he seems super genuine and kind. You've given the world so many memories through your voice. I hope you have found true love again.
I love your comment. I don't think it could have been said better. He's doing it his way. He took the time he needed to find himself find love regroup catch up to everything that has been happening to him. I think your comment is the best by Farr well said!
My heart is so HAPPY to see and hear the one and only Steve Perry!!!! I LOVE Steve Perry and I have for decades!!! I'm thrilled that Steve has recorded music and that he's back on his own terms!
I can't help but love Steve Perry forever! The first Journey song I remember hearing was Wheel In the Sky....Fell in love instantly. Welcome back, Steve....You're amazing.

There are no words There are no words for the positive influence Mr Perry has had on the world. I fell in love with his talent, artistry, and person when I was 14 years old in 1981. I have had the pleasure of making friends with one of the QUEEN’s greatest band’s lead guitarist who reaffirmed the great humanity of Steve Perry. You and your voice influenced a generation. I wish you peace and happiness. Thank you for sharing your voice.
@Marisa Rodriguez • Steve Perry is a great singer, but in the rock world the nick name The Voice has always been reserved for Paul Rodgers both great singers in their own rights I just wish Steve's new stuff rocked a bit harder.
@@1979bobhd ......I guess it depends what generation you're in. I've always known "the voice" to be Benny Mardones. Having the same song "Into the Night" hit the top 20 charts not once , but twice , and hitting the charts a third time in 2019. Sadley , He passed away a few weeks ago. R.I.P Benny "the voice" Mardones. You're right! I don't remember Steve Perry being referred to as "the voice" , even though he was spectacular.
THAT IS MY VOICE HE IS LIP SINKING ME I AM HIS WIFE THOSE OTHERS ARE INTERNATIONAL POLICE FILES WE DO THE RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL WRITING FOR HIS MOTHER QUEEN CLAIR ANGELL
I never stopped loving his voice and who he was (still is really). As that song says "Dont stop believing".....I never stopped believing in him or that he was gone for good. I am forever thankful he did return. So much of his career was my whole life. (I first heard his music back in 1978 or 79, when my dad bought a vinyl album of Journey) He played it a lot. I fell head over heels for this guy named Steve Perry. I thought he was just the most handsome man I have ever seen and with a voice of an angel......I followed as closely as I could for all those years. When he left, it left a hole in my heart. I am so sorry that he has had such pain and loss in his personal life and such health struggles along the way. I am so grateful that he chose to return and create some music that will be cherished for all time.
I super love Steve Perry and the Journey and I thank Arnel for continuing the legacy of this band. I was born late how I wish I see SP in person, hear him sing live, and watch his band all together perform. SP was truly a great man, humble and genuine. Just sad that many people hate and have harshed comment to Arnel. My god, how come some people are so cruel just compairing the two, Arnel is god sent, talented and humble as well. Why not just enjoy the music and the good memories of the OG in the presence of Arnel.
@@steeliejan7929 Agree Steve’s still handsome What was meant by comment is true his long flowing hair and gorgeous smile of his youth are unforgettable It’s just a statement Images and music have the power to bring back the past
The voice of what I would call the ‘American sound’ 🇺🇸. Grew up listening to this genius. Love the fact he’s so utterly humble, kind and endearing too. They say never meet you heroes, but I sure would love to meet Steve Perry! ❤️

I am SO glad he came out with new music..I 💗 Steve Perry IMO one of the best voices in music..I got to listen to some of his new album and it is FANTASTIC..I was sorry to hear about the loss of his love,but it sounds like it was her love that inspired him to make music again..and even though she has left this physical existence she will ALWAYS be in his 💗..welcome back Steve,your loyal fans mussed you 😊
Steve's a guy with a big heart. Sometimes people with big hearts have a hard time getting or staying in the mindset of wanting sing when they feel out of sorts. As a vocalist myself and someone with a big heart like his I understand his burnout or lack of passion.
Journey suffered as all bands do. Conflicting personalities, emotions, ideas, visions, lifestyle choices, etc. All the members contributed to both the success and failures of Journey. But through it all, they made beautiful music and we all get to enjoy it till the end of time.
THAT IS NOT A BAND I TIME PAYMENT TO CHECK ACOUSTICS BY ME EACH PERSON AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WERE PAID 967 BILLION DOLLARS EACH AND THEY FAILED SO THAT WAS IT 1978
You tried to murder him in my house in San Diego check the official state records of the execution by property and commander rights Mr John Gowan you will find that you have not got all the facts former USA DIED WHEN THE USSR DIED .. Denial Denial Denial but you must be glad that homosexual know they are that now eh ! LEGAL FOR YOU TO KNOW IT GOWAN GOWN AND WE CANADA ARE STILL THE MORTAL ENEMY OF THE USA SO GET YOUR STATES TO HAVE THIS LITTLE CIVIL WAR THEN LEAVE THE BOTOM OF THE OCEAN FLOOR LOOK AT MY WAR ROOM MAP BOTOF U GONE
It’s 4 years later but STEVE …. Your voice has been missed. I’m send my condolences in regards to your loss. Sweetie, your voice is missed by 100s of thousands of people. My son is 26 he LOVES Journey. YOUR VOICE IS JOURNEY!

He is so humble and genuine. How can any Journey fan not absolutely love him. I'm so happy he found true love ❤, even though it much too short. Steve Perry, you really are the real deal. I pray you continue with music and somewhere down the road true love will find you again. A Devoted Fan for over 40 years. Love Patty ❤ 😍 💖

"I'll be alright without you"... that freakin song is the MASTER PIECE!!! You have to play that song between 11 pm & 12 am.. its something about the sound of the base & drums on that cut.. it sounds so good playing it late on a Saturday night 🌙
Did you ever see the 94 live version with Steve Perry it also has a bonus song added at the end Sam Cooke inspiration enjoy. Also Neal's solo is Awesome 86.
@@JazzStoic so what, both his parents are Portuguese, by Portuguese law he is an 🇺🇸 born Portuguese. Where you are born has little to do with what heritage you belong too. If you have a 🇵🇹 uese parent, your Portuguese, period. He himself says it. 😍
You remind of us , of what we used to be Steve... Journey on American Radio, before the cell phone obsessions, Internet distractions & agendas, affordable Concert Tickets...
Wow, you nailed it with that description. Journey...their music and Steve's voice...take me back to high school, summer nights, riding around in cars and cranking tunes.
Steve Perry's got the gifted powerful voice,Awesome song writer,Good looks, and a great personality. SO glad your back Steve to rock this planet once again.
