[treetopovskaya]

[NoMoreTails]

[Red13JoePa]

[Marabelle]

More like Liar, Liar, Liar! Pants were on fire! Oh boy!

[Clasicrockldy]

Are you posting the uncut TBF interviews strungout? Now that is a funny interview.....

[Just Mindy]

That was pretty funny

[Barb]

Sounds like a happy time for them .... too bad it couldn't have lasted for at least ONE tour!

[whocares]

makes me wish I had spent the time before vacation, onputting the ROR Thanksgiving special on CD or DVD. That was some good stuff, the boys playing all their favorite bands and songs and telling why they were favorites... Ah, the good old days.

[Big J]

This kinda makes me feel a little less skeptical that a reunion could work.

At one time these guys got along really well, it seems.

[*Laura]

Most of the TBF era radio interviews were really funny!
I am laughing also because of those huge laughs they were having...Contagious!

Some of these were transcribed...Fun to read,too!

the 90s is Journey.

Shelby: (DJ#2): It's Journey, remember when we found that cassette before the
CD came out and we found it on out boss' desk when he was out
of town? We were the first people in Houston, really in the
country, to bring you the new journey songs from their
reuinited CD TBF. Well, via sattelite, the magic of modern
technology, we are joined now by Steve, Jonathen, and Neal.

Larry: We know what steve wants for Christmas, don't we?

Shelby: Yeah, a naked barbie!

((Laughter))

Shelby: Who is when you love a woman about?

Steve: Well. it's about a feeling, of ah, what happens... i think... at
least to me personally when, when that feeling really hits and, and
you, and you , what you really need for it to really feel that way,
and what you think it should be, and what happens to you, especially
the last line is... you know you see your world inside her eyes, I
mean everyone wants to know if what you're doing is what you've been
looking for.

Shelby: Yeah, you were looking at a holiday barbie, werent ya?

((Laughter, Inaudible comments))

Larry: And you pulled her string, and what did she say, steve?

Steve: She said... No, I can't say it

((Laughter, more inaudible comments))

Larry: Houston's Mix 96.5, Steve Perry and Journey and they're on the other
line, our satellite line. We'll get back to them in a couple of
seconds. Now 7:19 ...

((News report))

Larry: And it's Larry and Shelby at 7:24 on the mix 96.5. Just recently,
we've had people like sting stop by, rod stewart, and now it's
Jonathen, Steve, and Neal from Journey. And very exciting for us to
have them on, and you can ask them a question at 390-5965.

Shelby: What else have you guys been up to lately, I mean it's been a
bazillion years since you were all together. Your fans have been
calling us rabidly, wanting to know when you're touring, when we can
see you in person, what is going on?

Jon: Well, next best thing is the video... We just finished our video,
and it's out on VH1.

Steve: Right.

Jon: Of when you love a woman, and, um, we're very excited about it. We did
it with our old buddy (Ischen?)

Neal: Yea, and it turned out great, and you know MTV ah, is the only
channel, VH1 is playing it, a lot of the independant cannels are
playing it, but MTV doesn't seem to want to play it now we don't
understand why. I guess we're not alternative enough for somebody,
I'm not sure.

Steve: Well, we can give you a number here.

Larry: Yeah,

Steve: 800-Dial MTV after 5 oclock NY time.

Larry: If you want to see it.

Steve: Just call 'em up and say 'hey, I want my Journey, I want to see it

Larry: You guys have your own fan club on the internet and we hear from them
all the time, and recently, we received an e-mail that steve has
fallen in a Mountain climbing accident, or something like that, is
any of that true?

Steve: It's true, I did. I was in a hiking... I was on an expidition I
left ah, when the album was done, and three days after my vacation
started, I went on a big hike in Hawaii, and I, and I hurt myself,
uh, bacause I'm kind of a rambounctious guy. And um, so I hurt
myself, but I'm OK. I'm getting better day by day.

Shelby: So Jonathan, have you fallen lately?

Jon: Actually, you know I had a horrible skiing accident about 4 years ago
in Tallyride and busted and dislocated my shoulder, but since then
I've been very careful.

((Laughter))

Shelby: And Neal?

Neal: Yeah, I ah, Actually about ahhhh 2 years, 3 years ago, I had a pretty
bad motorcycle accident. You know I'm an avid motorcycle rider and
you know it took me awhile to get better.

Steve: We are taking the bikes away from him. He can't ride any more.

Shelby: No kidding!

Larry: You're not one of those bikers, are ya?

Shelby: Eh?

Neal: Well, not really, well I like the sport, I like riding motorcycles.
I don't like to hang out and the whole thing, but you know...

Larry: Do you get a lot of girls to ride on the back with you?

((Laughter))

Neal: Well, not lately, No. I'm married.

((Laughter))

Shelby: Oh, good answer, good answer Neal, She's listening.

Larry: The thing that's good about it is since there's nothing else to hold
on to they have to put their arms around you and hold onto something.

Steve: How sweet it is

((Laughter))

Neal: Like holding on to inner thighs you know, next to the (wheighbars?)

Everyone: Oh!

Jon: No, we didn't do the handcuffs thing there., Um,

Steve: There!

Jon: My wife and I, oh my God, ah, actually, you know, that's funny, um,

Steve: Oh, I remember swingles!

Jon: And it was some crazy girl, she had handcuffs and she and what
happened was, um, you know,, she just was a very evasive kind of girl,
and I handcuffed her and left here there.

((Laughter))

Steve: Way to go, Jon.

Jon: It was bad, it was, it was bad.

Larry: Is she still there now?

((Laughter))

Jon: Well, I told the concierge to go help her out, to tell her to, bring
her a sandwich and left, Ok, see ya.

Steve: But there's a lawsuit pending.

Larry: Hey Neal, have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Neal: I've got a couple of things left, but yea, I did it awhile ago, and
I'm glad I did.

Larry: What did you get us?

Neal: Well, you know, I don't know, I don't remember.

Larry: A Journey CD.

((Laughter))

Neal: A Journey CD, right.

Larry: Wow.

Shelby: (Singing) "and a Journey CD" (to 12 days of Christmas)

((laughter))

Steve: Nice! That was very good!

Shelby: Thank you, thank you very much. I could sing back up for you guys
now, right?

Steve: Very beautiful.

Larry: (singing again, to same tune) 5 journey posters, 3 sweatshirts, and
a brand new Journey CD.

((Laughter, clapping))

Shelby: Ok, anyone can answer this for whom it applies, Anybody have
tatoos, and if so, where are they, and what are they?

Steve: I don't have one, Neal?

Neal: No, I don't have one.

Jon: Me neither.

Steve: We, we've survived that moment, but I know I was about to go there
one time or two, and

Neal: Yeah, me too, but I just never did.

Shelby: Steve, how much money do you spend on groceries, when you go to
the grocery story, just one trip? or since you're so you know,
famous, can you even go to the grocery store?

Steve: Oh, I go to everywhere. That's one of the , when we broke up, I
started going to fairs, I started going everywhere, and ah, yeah, I
go shopping all the time, like the other day, I was doing dishes
and vacuuming my own house.

Shelby: Oh, no!

((Gasps))

Larry: Uh Uh

Steve: Uh huh, I did, I fired my housekeeper so I vacuumed, I swear to God.

Shelby: Do any of you eat pop-tarts by any chance?

Steve: No, not any more.

Neal: Yes, once in a while.

Shelby: Yeah.

Everyone: Oh, whoah

Larry: He's probably got some twinkies in somewhere, too.

Neal: I buy em and I tell, you know, I just tell my wife that they're for
the kids, and kinda sneak down at night once in a while, they never
have one.

Larry: Yumbo.

Shelby: Neal, what was the weirdest job you ever had before you became a
big famous rock star?

Neal: Well, it wasn't actually that weird, I mean one of the only jobs I
ever had, I've only had two jobs in my whole life besides playin the
guitar, one was picking, I used to go down to Hollister, where I
actually lived with my grandmother for a while, and picked garlic.
Yeah, you know, and then I used to fix bicycles, you know, worked in
a bicycle shop. And then after that I became a musician, and I
joined Santana.

((Laughter))

Steve: a little bit of a jump there.

Shelby: Yea, garlic-Santana, I see the connection. Steve, if you were
required to wear one item of women's clothing for the rest of your
life,

((Laughter))

Shelby: What would it be?

Steve: Oh... Panties!

Shelby: Oh, I knew it!

Steve: I love, I love panties. I don't really like to wear 'em, but I
like to bite them off.

((Laughter))

Steve: What kind of panties are you wearing right now?

Shelby: How do you know I'm wearing any?

Steve: That's what I'm asking, Shelby.

Shelby: Cotton, 100% cotton

Steve: Cotton panties? Let me guess, are they white, or black?

Shelby: Let me look, hold on...

Steve: OK, just a minute, hold on. We're waiting, you're looking.

Shelby: They have flowers.

((Laughter))

Steve: They're flowered panties?

Shelby: Yeah.

Larry: I feel like I'm on a 976 number.

Shelby: Yeah, me too..

((Laughter))

Neal: You guys are asking the questions.

((Laughter))

Steve: You're taking me there Shelby.

((Song - "walking around in woman's underwear" set to the tune
"walking in a winter wonderland."))

Larry: Houston's mix, 96.5. It's a visual Steve Perry in Woman's
underwear. He likes to chew 'em off.

((Laughter))

Just about 7:50 right now.

((Traffic report))

Larry: You know, we have a brand new Journey song.

Shelby: This is from TBF, it's called "if he should break your heart"
Journey on the Mix.

((IHSBYH is played))

Larry: Houston's Mix 96.5 Best mix of the 70s, 80s, and the 90s.
Journey's New song, yeah.

((Clapping))

Shelby: If he should break your heart. That's Journey from TBF. You heard
it here first on Mix 96.5 We've had Journey on the phone with us,
actually via satellite with us, it's so high tec now it's like the
signal from Journey going up to the moon, coming back to Houston,
It's so cool.

Larry: That's right, and I guess Steve Perry wants to ask us some
questions, since we've been asking him so darn many.

Steve: Larry, how long have you been in the radio business?

Larry: 21 years this year.

Steve: Where did you start?

Larry: I started, Sidney Nebraska, in 1975.

Steve: Was it one of those sun-up to sun-down trailers sitting in the
daylight radio stations?

Larry: Yes, it was. It had 250 watts, which is kind of like a lightbulb.

((Laughter))

Steve: Yea, right.

Larry: It had ah, I think 4 listeners, so at least that hasn't changed!

((Laughter))

Steve: Shelby, where did you start?

Shelby: In San Jose, California.

Larry: What's the weirdest question any stupid radio people ask you guys,
anyways?

Jon: Oh yeah, well, some guy said, you know, you guys just come back for
the money, or what?

Steve: Yeah, that was a great one.

Neal: Just obvious bullshit.

((Laughter))

Jon: What's another good one, I dunno.

Steve: Here we record a full album with all new stuff, 15 songs, 14 with
a hidden track on the record, by the way, have you found it yet?

Larry: What's the hidden track, yeah.

Steve: Have you found it?

Neal: That should be our question.

Larry: What's the name of the hidden track, and we said buy the CD, ok.

Shelby: It's April Love, you re-did the Pat Boone hit, didn't ya?

((Laughter))

Steve: No, have you heard it yet? There is a, there's a reggae song,
there's 14 songs, but there's actually 15.

Larry: It's the Macerena, actually.

Larry: It's only on the CD, right? but not on the cassette. Is it on
the cassette?

Steve: It is on the cassette, yes, we're getting a yes from our staff.

Shelby: So did you guys get together just to do this for the money?

((Laughter))

Steve: Shelby, Shelby!

Shelby: No, you guys have to be totally rich, by now, you'd have to be.

Jon: We're publishing mougels, just kidding.

Steve: No, we have enough, we have enough money in our life from the last
time we were around. We don't need to do this for the money. That's
one thing people just got to understand. We're doing this for the
music.

Shelby: Did you miss each other?

Steve: Yeah.

Shelby: You're lyin!

((Laughter))

Neal: After 10 years, yeah.

Larry: That's why Shelby and I do this job, it's not for the money, it's
just for the music!

((Laughter))

Shelby: It's for all the Journey songs, Whooo! Well, we are just so
excited that Journey has a new CD out, TBF. Did that name come to
you because of something that happened to one of you?

Steve: Well, you know, it's just a, it's just a title I had that came to
me one day that you know everything, a trial by fire, it seems that
you either learn easy or you have to learn by the heat, and ah, all
my life I seem to have to learn by fire, I don't learn quickly, so my
life has kinda been a TBF.

Larry: Have you mellowed with age?

Steve: Not neccesarily mellowed. I'm just getting a little smarter. I
don't hit my head against the wall more than 5 times now.

Shelby: You know Tiny Tim passed on a few weeks ago, and I know that one
of his great wishes was to work with a big rock band like Journey.
Wouldn't that have been awesome to do a tune with tiny tim?

Larry: (In a really bad falsetto) When the lights go down in the city...

Jon: You guys are pulling our leg.

Shelby: Larry, you're going to hell for that.

((Laughter))

Shelby: It was so wonderful to have you on, we wish you the best of luck,
we love the new song, if he should break your heart. It's TBF,
Journey, back, better than ever.

((Clapping, cheering))

Neal: Thank you, see you in the summer.

Everyone: Bye!

[NealIsGod]

Neal: Thank you, see you in the summer.

Neal, Neal... so naive...

[r@y]

Neal: Thank you, see you in the summer.

Neal, Neal... so naive...

yeah, it's really interesting to hear these stuff now and look back at the whole 'fiasco'....

Enjoy!

[Carrington]

Awesome Strungout!, thanks for the flashback!!...............it's been 10 years since TBF and it's really cool to hear the guys together and happy.........

IMO, you can't tell me that the chemistry is not there even today, whatever was said and whatever bullshit happened between Jon , Neal and Steve, they all know that the real band is between them and Ross and Smitty......they all know why they were great, and as long as all of them are drawing a breath that will always be in the background.......

[SusieP]

Thanks again strungout - really appreciate your sharing these.

Very interesting to hear their comments when we know what happened.

[Deb]

Your welcome Carrington. I agree with ya, I don't think SP will ever be a part of Journey again, but would love to see a "one time" performance captured for dvd or a couple shows. Personally I think it would a classy affair along the lines of "When you love a woman". Ya I know....I'm dreamin. But never thought I'd see Vince Neil and Tommy Lee ever set foot on the same stage again either, they couldn't stand each other. I do like what JSS brings to the band right now and they need that energy......but would love to see a "one-of".

Had to laugh at that second clip, SP what a horndog!

[SteveForever]

StrungOut, those are cool, the first one almost sounds therapeutic for them, wish they would listen to that now! thanks for sharing...
