    Rob is a down to earth guy. As real as you can get. Sammy is a class act himself. Both are stand up people.
  • @ko9446
    Rob is one of few that you can understand every word he sings.
  • Props to Sammy for getting with Rob for his show. Rob Thomas is one the coolest guys ever and one of my favorite artists. Truly a talented genuine musician, Mr. Thomas is.

    The most amazing thing about this vid for me is how generous and present Sammy is. He's only trying to do the song justice, not pull out all the stops and grab the spotlight. There are even a few points where he oversteps a bit and just smiles and pulls back. What a fucking LEGEND!!! And Rob Thomas... well... I don't know what you can say. His worst song is awesome...:)

    Sammy I've been a fan since the 70's and you're like a fine wine brother, always getting better with age and Rob Thomas is simply awesome, thanks for the great performance.
  • @davidg.9932
    Let's give some recognition to Rob's backup band. Wow, they are so tight and talented. Excellent..
  • Went to a Santana concert 3 years ago and Rob showed up to sing “Smooth”. How cool is it that he does that.
  • @hobo1452
    I can listen to Rob Thomas sing all day long. He just has such a unique and engaging sound that is instantly recognizable. And, yeah, Sammy is a royally under appreciated guitarist.
  • Man Hagar is a Super Unreal Phenomenon at 75 years old. Wow!!👍👍👍👍👍
  • Rob will always be one of my biggest heroes. Someone Like You is still one of the greatest cassettes I’ve ever heard. Long love MB20
  • Wow Rob looks great. Hasn't aged a day. Sammy too. Really cool nice dudes
  • @codacreator6162
    Rob Thomas is the real deal. Nobody more deserving of the good stuff of fame. Great songwriter, soulful singer, and seems like a genuinely great dude, the kind you’d like to pop a couple cold ones with and trade stories…

    I saw Sammy at a small airport getting off a private plane years ago. I took a picture of him walking from the plane, and he saw me and walked over to me and shook my hand and said hello. Truly a great person.
  • @st.surfer1924
    I love the interaction with Sammy and the artists he interviews. Sammy keep the faith. You are keeping Rock alive.
  • Rob seems to be one of those rare talents that truly loves what he does more than the fame.
  • @hunterwest54
    Look here I'm a rock n roller through and through, but when I first started getting interested in writing, Rob Thomas was and still is one of my biggest influences. Lyrically and melodically. The dude is so good ✌🖤🤘
  • Songs are like your kids, it's hard to pick a favorite. I always tell my kids that my favorite is the one giving me the least grief.
  • EXCELLENT!! Sammy can tear up those strings so beautiful. Rob sings words so clearly. Rock on dudes. ❤️
