real, actual photo of Steve Perry
Once, the wise, wise Jeff said, “I think if Steve Perry was alive to see this, he might”
And without further ado, I present to you…
Mr. Steve Perry!

Once, the wise, wise Jeff said, “I think if Steve Perry was alive to see this, he might”
And without further ado, I present to you…
Mr. Steve Perry!
It should be noted that Jeff was the brave finder of this gem of Steverphenalia:
Er, I mean this.
Who is Steve Perry?
‘Nuff said.
I’m sorry I passed up the opportunity to say “Perryphernalia”. But don’t stop believin’.
I was going to point that out, but I thought it was a deliberately clever omission in order to lead the reader to discover “Perryphenalia” for themselves.
If you click the “e” above your comment post, you can edit it.
Oh, it’s too late now. Much, much too late.
Wait. Steve Perry is dead? Has anyone seen Gin’s ex boyfriend Ari?
What? Steve Perry is dead?
I think you’re confusing him with Richard Pryor. Easy enough mistake to make.
Steve Perry is alive and well and lives in the San Diego area – he’s working on some new enhanced Journey cd’s with some extra stuff on them for late summer release.
He’s the most awesome male singer around!
Awesomer than Richard Pryor? Cuz that man can wail!
I saw him last week opening for Asia. He was playing a guitar with each foot while administering cunnilingus to a giraffe.
Grow up you kids,all I know Ive seen both Steve’s performs numeroius times ,and I say perry should be back in there ,,I saw him during his solo tour around 91-92 and he had a band with him and they played his stuff and journey and it all sounded awesome ,all 3 hours almost ,perry is just THE MAN.
GARO, are you secretly Steve Perry himself? I’m honored that someone of Richard Pryor’s stature would come post on our blog!
i love steve perry my favorite singer ever
I didn’t realize that Richard Pryor still had so many fans!
steve perry is the greatest singer ever..he is undeveated when it comes to singin..he was born with a gift and i love his voice…whenever i hear his songs…its just a great feeling!!!!love u steve!!!we are always here for you..always and forever..in our hearts
Undeveated as his prodigious septum!
Steve Perry STILL is “The VOICE.” Journey can try and try to replace him; they’ve come really close with Arnel, but that’s all – just close. There is only one Steve Perry!!!!!
i really dont get the Richord pryor thing people.but in the mean time I STILL think it would be AWESOME if STEVE PERRY would come back to the band and put everything aside as far as differences or anything even if he di a SOLO tour I just cant tell ANYONE who HAS NoT seen STEVE PERRY live how HE SOUNDS evryone else is just ????? just go on you tube and check it out …. and when Youve perry on solo tours and w/ Journey at least 8-9 times no one else compares. SORRY
Steve Perry sings to me in my dreams and I awake a happy woman indeed.
*swoon*
There’s just something about that voice. It’s magic.
it’s true steve perry is secretly richard pryor.
I saw him in a concert and the wig sort of fell off and the whole croud saw the truth.
Christ, the members of journey are 60 ish in age. They had their day but nobody wants to see Steve Perry parade out and sing 25 year old songs.
Let the members of the band keep it alive if they wish because there are lots of fans still
but
PERRY got out while the gittin’ was good. He’ll always be remembered as great..not some old guy still tying to live the dream he once lived.
I don’t want to see Steve back with Journey, personally. I’d rather hear him solo any day. I’m fully aware of his age and have heard him sing on some recent tracks. His voice has changed a great deal, but I still love it. He just has this sexy, husky, soulful thing going on that makes me weak in the knees. Whatever he’s up to, I hope he’s happy. He’s certainly earned it.
How could he be happy? He’s dead.
wait no
Yeah… definitely NOT dead. Very much a live and well. Living his life, doing his thing, enjoying the Californian weather I suppose.
Oh, I’m sorry, I was thinking of Richard Pryor.
DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’
1949-2009
Rest in Peace, Sweet Prince
I’m guessing you think that’s funny, Jeff? He’s not dead… and he deserves a bit of respect, don’t you think? I don’t see the point of posting that someone has passed when they obviously haven’t.
No, no, Jeff. You’ve made a mistake. Dont’ worry! It’s a common mistake among Perryphiles, even advanced ones.
Please consider the differences:
versus
Which one of these is Steve Perry? Here are some easy tips that will help you figure it out.
I hope this has helped relieve your confusion!
Ha. Ha. Ha. Or not.
Really, what’s the point of trashing Steve Perry? He’s brilliant. Jealous much?
Top one! Top one!
I especially enjoyed Steve Perry’s work in “Superman III”. Tar? In Kryptonite? Whatever!
I know! I think it was one of his best moments. R.I.P.
When someone wants to have a grown-up conversation about Steve Perry, do be sure and let me know.
Look, when I snapped the real, actual photo of him at the top of the thread, he whispered in my ear that I’d captured the real him. That I understood him in a way no one else did. I think I have the authority to have a conversation about him, particularly on this day when we all miss him so much.
Okay, okay. You got me to laugh. A little.
Laugh? You laugh now? When we’re discussing Steve Perry? I’d think you’d show a little more respect on this, of all days.
I fail to see the significance of the date…
You didn’t hear? It’s a sad day. On this day in December 10th, 2005, Steve Perry died of a heart attack brought on by his multiple sclerosis. His remains were treated as he wished: he was mounted to a white stallion mounted to a black stallion and he had in his hand one of his famous ham and cheese sandwiches. He was buried at sea and the ashes formed into a small statue of Steve Perry, mounted on a white stallion, mounted on a black stallion.
Oh, well may he rest in peace then… *eye roll*
You see, though, this is how rumors get started… and people start to actually believe the crazy shit they read, and then they pass it along like it’s nothing. Sorry if I’m bringing your fun down, but I really do fail to see the point. Is there a point? Or do you just like pushing buttons?
I could go for a ham and cheese sandwich, though… or better yet, one of Steve’s special tacos with salsa, ketchup, and cumin powder…
Oh for fucksake. If anyone believes this they’re a fucking dupe and deserve to be mocked like the drooling automatons they are.
Hmm. I shouldn’t use ‘automaton’ as an insult – I knew this welding arm once…
I don’t know… I’ve seen some pretty stupid people before… so I won’t be surprised when some asshat shows up on YouTube announcing Steve Perry’s death and subsequent… erm… burial…
I didn’t say I would be surprised, but I will point and laugh.
Seriously. You act like this is a bad thing.
Do forgive. I’m just a tad protective of Steve Perry.
Oh, there’s no animosity on my part. This is hilarious.
THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY HERE IT IS VERY SERIOUS WHY ARE YOU SAYING FUNNY
I bet Steve might even think this was funny. He has a wicked sense of humor… or so it would seem, anyway.
Steve Perry is very much alive and well; you should be informed before making statments like “If Steve Perry were still alive,…..”
Wait, he’s alive? Can you support that claim?
So the joke’s just not funny anymore. Okay, it wasn’t even funny in the first place. And you’re dragging it out…. why? Stop being lame.
