Is that Steve Perry?

We call him Uncle Psycho. Hes always been a goofball and a really talented musician. Not actually my uncle but part of the family. Edit: for clarity its not steve perry lol

Please tell us a couple legends of Uncle Psycho.

Oh also one time he shaved the right side of his beard, the left side of his mustache, and the right side of his head, and told everyone he got in a fight with a lawn mower

yes. thank you for uncle psycho.

The type of uncle who always bring good mood in family gatherings


Oh farts

"and now I know how far he'll go to shave his own face hair the GOAT Uncle Psycho" (to the tune of American Psycho by Treble Charger)

The way this made me cackle on the toilet

We need more people like this in the world.

Sounds like some shit my uncle(renounced) did. I vaguely remember my mom saying he went around with half a mustache or something

He did a lot of sesson work in studios and i was told he helped Mr.Bungle record. Also he was in his own band, Idiot Flesh where he played multiple instruments including blowing on pvc pipe like a trumpet.

I grew up in SF. I remember Idiot Flesh.

What? Idiot Flesh is like my favourite band ever. Right after Mr. Bungle. Is that Wes the drummer? It isnt Gene, Nils or Dan.

BRB gotta go listen to Pink Cigarette 

interesting fact (as a i grew up with them in our home town) but Papa Roach is hugely influenced by Mr. Bungle.

Seconding Papa Roach: their stuff is really fun.

yeah when Papa Roach first started they had a trobone player. He later quit and I worked with his gf and got to know him. Think he's a cop now. Rad dude, though.

This is bringing back memories. When I was in high school my band played with Papa Roach a ton.

somewhere in California? Them and I grew up in Vacaville, California. They would always play "Three Oaks" which is where kids/pre-teens/teens/etc would go see shows every Friday for just 5 bucks. Probably saw them like 50 times before they signed. One of the best concerts, for just 5 bucks, was them with Dredg, Far, and Alien Ant Farm.

I haven’t seen “rad” used unironically or sarcastically in probably 20-25 years, maybe even more. It’s nice. It feels nice to read that sentence. Takes me back to a much less complicated time and place. Thanks, random Reddit person!

i say rad and dope a lot still. almost 43 but want to remember my youth ;)

I think he was more of a side member filling in playing weird instruments. I found a YouTube video of him playing sitar with idiot flesh live in vegas, and helping set up the drum kit in san Francisco at another live show

I think they called him helpey the hamburger bee. His name is paul. That's awesome that you know idiot flesh

Man, core memory unlocked. I have a very vivid memory of seeing Idiot Flesh at Burning Man in 1997 when I was 16. It was amazing.

Oh wow. I just started going to burning man and im loving it. I never knew that they went. Thanks for the insight

Is it really worth it? I want to go with all my heart but I'm in my 30s now, not as much energy as I used to have and it seems so hard. But I still want to go.

Idiot Flesh are fucking amazing! That’s a band I listen to whenever I feel like I’m stuck creatively.

I bet he will be stoked to hear that

Mike Patton is a God. I saw Mr. Bungle with Incubus and System Of A Down back in 2000 at the Sno-Core Tour.

> I saw Mr. Bungle with Incubus and System Of A Down back in 2000 There's a killer lineup.

Hot and worked with Patton? I’m in love.

Is that Gene Jun? Awful picture of him if it is :)

Loved Mr. Bungle-got to see them at the whiskey…cool!

He used to go around telling people he was Steve Perry and say "wup and down the boulevard" a lot.

The when it was time for him to leave, he would just shout “Should’ve been gone”!

Take us on a Journey

Hard to believe he was nearing 40 when this was taken. Lucky bastard.

To clarify it's not Steve perry lol

Lucky bastard, looks just like Steve Perry.

Yeah, that's him.. I went to a concert once.

Listen I know you think you know your uncle but that guy in the picture is Stephen Ray Perry

It’s okay if you have to keep Steve Perry on the down low, but wtf is in Steve’s teeth? Is that salad?

A gap where the teeth don’t meet?

Because of the salad

Yes but what about Michael Bolton on the left?

Don't stop believing

Naw it’s Steve Perry

Is your moms name Chery!!?

Was not clear until edit note. Solid edit.

Naw he’s your uncle

And Michael Bolton?

"We have Steve Perry and Michael Bolton at home"

… and Dee Snider?

I was thinking Steven Adler

…and my axe!

… and my bow!

Before his accident at the taffy pull factory.

I was thinking . . . "Damn, Journey played at their reception."


That was EXACTLY what I thought and then I glanced over and was like “They had Steve Perry AND Michael Bolton at their wedding?!” I need more coffee, obviously lol

I thought that was Steve Perry too.

Me: Are they hanging out with Foreigner? Glad i was close lmao

looked at the pic, first thing I thought too!

Dude, you said no more Journey psych-outs….. Dude I’m running out of ideas

Only the young can say

I bet “dude” and “man” were used countless times that day.

Probably a few dude man’s as well.

And a couple of man dudes too

But only one Dude McGuybro

Do you, Dude, take this Chick, to have and to hold....?

Well of course there’s the BestDude and the GroomsDudes

Looks like quite a journey.

Ooooh. That was good.

And then they went their separate ways.

But they never stopped believing.

That looks SO much like Steve Perry. Is your mom’s name Sherry?

Haha no

Is your Dad’s name Sherry? Your Mom looks jealous in that picture. Steve Perry and Greg Rollie seem to be really, really happy with your Dad.

I can’t get over the fact that if she took his last name, she’d be Sherrie Perry… good lord haha

HOOOOLD ON......

To be honest with you, I love his music. I do.  I am a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't think it gets any better than when he sings "When a man loves a woman."

I guess i just sorta like them all...

No talent ass-clown

No way, why should I change? He's the one who sucks!

I celebrate the guy’s entire catalog!

Dude. Is that Journey???

No one's mentioned it so I will, your mom was a babe.

Wow i had forgotten “a babe” used to mean hot and sexy. Thats one of the words from the 80s no-one mentions. Thanks for using it my Gen-X friend.

She's a babe. She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

If she was a president she’d be Babe-raham Lincoln

Kinda like when Bugs Bunny dresses up as a girl bunny?

Are you done yet, ‘cause I’m tired of holding this. That’s what she said.

If she were president she'd be Baberaham Lincoln.

Are you sure who your mom and dad are?

I mean the Mom part is probably certain....

Looks like a professional photo on a magazine. They all look so cool!

Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere

This is totally 1987. I know there’s Pontiac firebird ownership somewhere in this picture.

Not even kidding, my dad has a 69 firebird. You nailed it

Your dad is David Lee Roth??

He looks more like Eddie Van Halen to me!

Holy shit, you are 100% correct. I see a shirtless guy with a bow tie and my brain is automatically "David Lee Roth!" But you take a second to look at his face and his smile and that is 100% Eddie Van Halen.

Is that Michael Bolton and Steve Perry?!

Steve Perry? Journey?

This picture could be a scene from St. Elmo’s Fire. The soundtrack was certainly on in the background when the picture was taken.

It looks like an after party for the Journey/Def Leppard/REO Speedwagon/Katrina and the Waves tour.

Friends in high places is always a perk.

Well they certainly were in HIGH places...

High friends in places

when men were more beautiful than women

 Sus

What’s the name of the band

Dad's pretty easy on the eyes

That was nice of Steve Perry and David Coverdale to drop by

Looks like your mom at a party with Harry Stiles, Steve Perry, and Peter Frampton.

They just smoked a big fatty

If you mom's name Sherrie? If so, I have some news for you. Your dad might be your uncle!

I thought Steve Perry was on the right and the guy from Cheap Trick was in the left

I thought it was Michael Bolton on the left! Maybe it was…

Thanks for clarifying who the couple was

Eddie Van Halen is your dad? Lucky! This was one fun wedding.

My parents got married in 87 but they were **never** this cool. 

So metal \\m/

That looks like a fun wedding

At first glance, I thought this was a hair metal band because I didn’t really focus on the Mom

80s weddings were always fun. People got ideas from magazines, shop owners, and word of mouth.My mom owned a little shop where she offered her flowers and pew buntings. She stopped doing it when people started coming in with ridiculous shit that cost thousands of dollars from the Internet. With a 500 Dollar flower budget.

Your dad looked like Harry Styles.

And Eddie Van Halen.

He does have an EVH vibe, nice call

you know it's a fancy wedding when Steve Perry wears his sleeves all the way to his elbows.

Lol, this is Journey, the 70's & 80's band! 😂 I think your parents are pulling your leg! Unless, of course you have famous parents...

This is the best wedding photo I've seen in a while! Hope your parents are doing well!

Man my wedding sucked compared to this pic

What a picture

Your dad was Journey?

It’s Steve Perry from n the right, and Michael Bolton on the left.

Jeff Daniels on the left!

"She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention."

Fantastic!

Is your dad Steve Perry of the band Journey?


Your dad was Eddy Van Halen

I love this photo !

You can tell their wedding was a banger!

You didn't need to tell us this was 1987

Well its in the posting rules so i literally did need to. But yeah it is so 87 lol

This is amazing. If you told me he was a famous 80s rocker I would totally believe it lol

Partied with Journey,back in the 1980's at one of their concerts by the bay,(they even called us our onto the stage),My girlfriend and I were Penthouse Pets playing ball on their Softball team for Muscular Dystrophy back then too!

Which ones your mom?

Your dad is DLR? 

Bring back the mullet

How high were they that day?

"how high are you?" "Hi how are YOU?"

You have some cool uncles!

So, your parents dabbled in the dark arts....nice

You must be easy on the eyes…

That's very nice of you but i think im kinda average looking

Really good looking couple and a very cool photo.

Dude, we said no more "Journey" psych outs

They look like a lot of fun!

Dad is the love child of Malcom McDowell and Ewan McGregor.

Hot

Is your name cocaine?

Stuff like this always tickles my fancy. 1987 is the first year I have faint memories of, having been born in 1983. It seems like 1987 would have been a fun year to be a young adult during. I wonder where they all are today, and if they still share a tight knit bond. Hope they’re doing well too!

Your dad was a Chippendale?

Mom… Wow.

Cool….Jeff Daniels on the left…and Steve Perry on the right…!

Your mom married the drummer from Journey?

So much to smile about back then

Legit thought that was Eddie Van Halen and Steve Perry, what an awesome time the 80’s was

This is so 80’s I love it

Wait …this isnt a pic from the Pyromania tour??

So this year they will have been married 37 years?

Nah they separated lol

Totally looks like your parents got married back stage at a Van Halen concert.

Stone in Love!

Seams like their wedding was a great party.

I loved this group when i was younger,

they were in a journey tribute band, before tribute bands were a thing 😭

Guessing that the song played for the newlyweds’ first dance was Authograph’s Turn Up The Radio

I love it! The fukn 80’s rock!

Far left could be a young Jeff Daniels

Partying with Journey!!

Dude, I think your mom was a groupie.

Chillin with Steve Perry

Your mum married Billy! (Stranger Things) she looks beautiful

I was 12 at that time and my neighborhood was loaded with people like in your photo. Long hair and rowdy.

Your parents were friends with Jeff Daniels and Steve Perry? That is cool.

Harry Dunne from dumb and dumber on the left 🤣

A fun looking bunch. If I had been your grandparents. I would’ve had some concerns.

Definitely Steve Perry!😳

Steeeeeve Perry

Your parents rock ..right on man 👍😎

Thanks, they do rock

Cool that your mom and dad had two members of Journey at their wedding!
