I found an interview that you did with KNAC in 2005, and supposedly Steve Perry was backstage with you.
He was.

Journey has been going strong without him, but nobody knows what’s happened to him. Have you stayed in touch with him since then?
No, I never got to share any phone numbers, although that would’ve been awesome. I think he had 50 songs or so. So he had music. I didn’t bring up Journey.

What was he like?
He was cool. He was in [Rob] Zombie’s dressing room with an agent, so we kind of made our way into that room. I asked him what he was up to, and he said he didn’t know if he ever wanted to do it with that band anymore. He didn’t think he wanted to try to chase it. But at the same time he was working on that surround sound version of the [vintage Journey] Houston show, so he was definitely in the midst of doing something with Journey, but not in a live sense. It was cool seeing him. I also had a nice time talking with Neal last night. It was cool to chat with him again.

The new Journey album is great.

The writing isn’t nearly what used to be. It’s just so different.

Rob Zombie, Anthrax.... Steve Perry. Gotta love the man's diverse taste in music.
