Thank you Kellie for giving Steve back to us!

Steve may have left music for a time but the fans never left him. What a special reunion it is.

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 🙏🏼

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 Perry the best rock voice ever. It is so nice he is back making music.

We missed him more than anyone else who quit. So glad he's back to be with us fans.

Simply the best voice in all of rock-n-roll!

Steve Perry is a man truly deserving of his fame and reverence. It's so great to have him back. The world needs his light.

The man will be 70 years old in January! He looks great.

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.

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.

I am so glad Steve Perry is back. We hope you never leave us again. Love You, Steve!!!!!😊

Well thank you to Kelly Nash for giving us back Steve Perry. She must have been a very special person.

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!

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!!!

Steve Perry's the man.great interview.

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; 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!

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!!!

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!!!

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!!!!

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!

Such a beautiful man. What an awesome interview. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Damn what a nice guy.

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.

Absolutely love this man. He is so knowledgeable about music, so talented, so humble and such a gentleman.

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.

I so love Steve Perry, I love to hear he is doing good, and releasing new songs!!!! He is so iconic in my book. My secret obsession.

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.

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!!

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?❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥💯💯👍👍🌹🌹💋💋

One of the deepest interviews.

So happy Steve is back!❤️

Best voice ever!

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

I love love his laugh!!!! Welcome home

Be good to yourself just took on a whole new meaning. He told us everything when he sung that song.

The man can flat out soar!

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... 😎🎸🎹🎛️🎼👍

It really has been way too long Steve Perry! So good to see you again 🙋🏻‍♀️😃❤️🌟👍🏻

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!

Great interview and welcome back Steve Perry.

Welcome back, Steve. ❤️

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.

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.

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 ❤.

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.

Hey, thanks a million for posting this for us. His return means the world to a lot of us, to say the least.

His speaking voice is sooo beautiful...

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.

So awesome that Steve Perry is back!!!

Thanks Eddie and Steve for doing this.....Glad to see you back Steve

More of a Steve Perry fan now more than ever!

what an incredibly awesome interview!

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 Perry ... The best of the best!

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

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

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 interview I heard with Steve!

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 🙏❤️

ughhh i love steve so much

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

Journey will never be Journey without Steve Perry

27:23 I loved it when he said 'Watch this,' referring to the other singers in his era... adorable! 😁

I love Steve And Eddie Trunk great interview CONGRATS EDDIE !!!!!

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.

Steve is Awesome!

So glad he's back. Good for him taking care of himself! 💜

Best voice in rock

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 !!!!!!!

Thank you Eddie Trunk! This made me laugh and cry and I'm just so happy he's back!!!

Can't wait to get it, LOVE STEVE PERRY

Wind in the hair on the Harley Davidson! Yea!!! And he's back!!!!

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 for uploading this interview!👍🏼

Steve Perry what a cool guy

As great a singer Steve Perry is, now I see he's even a better man. The fact that he agreed to meet Kelly after learning she was probably going to die says it all. I have a new-found respect for Steve.

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

Thanks for the upload...Good interview. So glad Steve Perry is back !

Great Interview............. 👍🎆🌈🌠🎉🕯🕯🕯🕯

Eddie thank you simply the best interview

GREAT interview! 💖

One of the best,second to Freddie in my opinion. Love your record Steve

about time, welcome back Steve!!!

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 💚💜❤️💙💛🧡 🎤🎸🎹🎼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Steve Perry is such a sweet man, no ego unlike cough, cough Schon.

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've been waiting .....ROCK & ROLL Steve

sometimes you have to remind people just how much they are appreciated !!!! Greatest All Time Show

Thank you very much for uploading this, I'm steve fan and is impossible in my country to hear this interviews....thanks so much

Great interview by the best rock interviewer. Great questions. Great answers. A gem!

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!!

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.

Two real pros having a professional yet open and relaxed conversation. Well done, Mssrs. Trunk and Perry.

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 ❤.

Can you imagine how difficult that life style must be. And he probably put everything into it every night that he performed. How can you keep that up? I wonder if they had breaks from tours? I guess I was around nineteen when they started touring. And around that time I started working for my husband's business so I became enslaved in that. The radio was on all the time so of course I heard all their songs all the time. But didn't necessarily follow the ins and outs of things. Have only recently been listening again and reading about them. I didn't even know what Mr. Perry looked like until recently. That's pretty weird I guess. But I have to say, his voice is the best voice in r and r history. What a gem. Bring us some more tunes please Mr.Perry.

He is a well balanced guy. You have to take into consideration how long it takes to get that good at singing. He was singing long before the public knew anything about it. I hate to date myself but I saw him in Western Massachusetts when he was jumping around the stage like a jumping bean. Even at that young age I knew he couldn't keep that up. He was like some kind of acrobat or something. I am always amazed at the flawless vocals. He knows how to get an awesome sound and take care of his voice at the same time. Many times when singers go for a passionate sound they easily strain their voice. He is a true artist. I imagine that he is very intelligent in many areas.

Love it Steve ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻

I hear zero auto tune on his voice with his new track, awesome!!
