Aw, don't make fun of Perry like that.

"he seriously was bitching about how he gets only so much from downloads, and how no one buys the cd's anymore...i caught most of the conversation. he has a bunch of music he's done himself and wanted an outlet to sell it without putting out any money of his own!!!"

Music Myspace Stevie!

I can't believe that Itunes wouldn't be more lucrative for ANY band than going through a record company. I mean, distribution and promotion is one thing, but with Itunes, you get so much more of a cut than from a record co.

If this conversation actually happened, this means a new album could be on the way after all.

Right there lies the problem.

Everyone is taking this way way to seriously.

Look what Perry said in an interview, wow, now we may know why he doesn't release new music:


So, what got the passion back? How did you re-discover yourself? "It took a long time. I think part of it was recording stuff with Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme and seeing the passion in other people and realizing I had it in me again. I had just lost track of myself, cos I felt wrung out like a sponge. People like Nuno helped me to believe in it all again. Slowly but surely I started to write music that I could enjoy. See, if I don't like what I'm doing then I'm not gonna let you hear it. I have to believe in what I'm doing or I won't put it out."

Come on BJG! You KNOW this means World Tour! Don't be so negative. It's going to happen for I know it is. The signs are all there! He's eating. He's in public. He's wearing a Jacket. Jesus, how much more info do we need!?

That's my nosey invasiveness. I want a photo when someone sees him with a woman.

He looks great. Hair is growing out, he's ready for a tour.

I doubt any celebrity would actually discuss something like this in a public place - even I'm careful about what I discuss anywhere because you never know who is sitting at the next table and it will always get back to your boss! It does sound like typical tabloid tactics, in that someone just 'happened" to overhear a conversation. I doubt anyone will be lining up at the local outlet tomorrow morning waiting on the new release based on that! Er, right?

[Michigan Girl]

Unfortunately, sleaze balls like this guy are everywhere and our society has made it acceptable to infringe on someone's personal space just because that person used to be in the spotlight. I could never handle being in the public eye knowing you can't even sit in a restaurant having a private conversation with friends without some bottom feeder listening in and putting his own twisted spin on things. These people disgust me.

Hey Lora, would this be something worth legally pursuing for Perry? After all, the blogger admitted Perry declined photos. Maybe Perry should "send a message", at the very least he could get the picture removed.

Not worth the time and effort for him to track down every ill-mannered loser like this guy. What the guy did wasn't illegal, just inconsiderate and tacky.

Obviously this guy isn't a fan. I never have gotten people that get an autograph then turn around and sell it on ebay? Why? Isn't there something more replaceable you could sell if you need the money? I have cd booklets personally signed to me from my 3 faves and you'd have to pry those damn things out of my dead and buried fists before you could sell them.

Exactly what I was thinking....

[Jubilee]

I think some are taking this whole thing a little too hard/personally. This guy is obviously not a loon. Apparently he's just a disinterested party who goes around seeking autographs to turn around and sell to people who are interested. Nothing new. Where do you think all that autographed stuff on eBay comes from anyway? The only thing he did "wrong" was repeat the conversation he says he overheard (or his interpretation of what he says he overheard). He clearly was not part of the conversation, so he cannot possibly know the context of what he heard.

As for the photograph, well, I would guess a good portion of the photos of Perry "out and about" where taken without his permission/knowledge. I know it doesn't fit well with Perry's "private person" persona, but, if he's out in public on the street, he's fair game, so to speak - as are we all.

rant/
And another thing...The guy wasn't wrong when he said Perry was dressed "pretty bummy". He was! If you don't want to be photographed looking "pretty bummy" don't be hanging around in "The Entertainment Capital of the World" dressed like you're trying to impersonate the homeless. Is it too much to ask SMFP to put on a decent shirt and a pair of pressed pants? Just how many of those crappy black t-shirts and pairs of rumpled cargo shorts does that guy own anyway? It's not "cute and comfortable" it's tacky. TACKY, TACKY, TACKY!!!

(I can still keep my Loon Card, right?)

[EightyRock]

Another problem with assholes like this invading his privacy is that the legit fans like myself might want to walk up to him and say hello or whatever, that we'd think twice now....even if he wasn't with a friend or having a personal conversation with someone. God forbid if anyone asked him for a photo now! (and I wouldn't blame him for saying "hell no")

The only thing tacky here is your post about the dude's clothes being tacky. Post a pic of yourself right now and let us judge what is or isn't tacky, eh?

Personally, I think it is pretty sad that the world seems to stop if there is even a hint of a new anything from this guy: picture, interview, sound bite....

Which brings to mind another question, why would anyone care to pay for an autograph which wasn't given to them personally?!?!?

Agree with you, this guy is not a loon obviously, so i don't think he have to keep secret about what he say he heard, and if he want to sell his autographs..well i didn't do that but well it happens, and is not so terrible ..i guess

Steve Perry is a public person want it or not, so shouldn't complain about people want it pics with him unless this are taken in his home or something..i think that my dream to take a pic with him is over

oh well about the way he was dress, i really don't care, he can dress the way he want it,but people have the right to express your opinion, so he should know about it, that if he go out dress in a certain way, well he will call the attention

[Onestepper]

I don't believe for a second this guy 'over heard' this supposed conversation. Not to that detail anyway. As far as Perry and the pic. Eh...who cares. Like someone said, he goes out looking like he wants to look. I personally think he's looking pretty frumpy there. But I could care less. He's fricken 60 something years old, and hasn't had to work a day for over 15 years. He obviously can put on some duds when he sees the need. I've actually gotten used to him looking like that.

Yep, the picture is confirmed to be 1/2 a year old, so that puts the whole story into the B.S. category. This clown is full of it.

Violation of privacy isn't restricted to celebrities - they get targeted for being famous, but anyone can have their photo end up on the Internet without permission . Consider all of the embarrassing or stupid videos on YouTube or photos on websites across the Internet. Something happens to you and there is always some jerk standing by ready to record it with a cell phone - the next thing you know, your humiliation is posted for millions to see without any recourse. This is going to get worse before it gets better, because there is no respect for the privacy of the individual anymore and the laws have not kept up with technology.

Steve was such a gracious person to stop and autograph items, as every celebrity knows that often the items are just going to end up on sale on eBay. Someone here posted the video of Ronnie James Dio asking an autograph seeker what the signature was worth! For the person to take photos after Steve asked him not to and then post them on the bloody Internet is just inexcusable. And one should consider that the poster was making up the details of the conversation he supposedly heard - he got the date wrong by several months. If I ever saw Steve in person or any other celebrity I admired, I would really be hesitant to go up to them because they get bothered so much by people like this.

I remember the guy posted on ebay that he wanted people to see proof that the signature on the ROR album he was selling was really Steve's so he had someone take the picture of Steve signing the album. I do have to say that Steve in no way looks 59 in the photo. He looks much younger. I bet the man was jealous because when he's Steve's age he'll look more like 80.....

LOL, have you ever been to Burbank or Hollywood? A friend of mine lives in Burbank and once when I was visiting, we were going out for dinner and I asked her what the place was like (what to wear) and she said.....anything goes there. She said, in any restaurant or bar you will find everything from completely casual to dressed to the nines. What's wrong with a casual shirt and shorts. Seriously, pressed pants? LOL the poor dude was just out for a bite to eat.
