[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

I was in Las Vegas august 14th 2019 for their show, a lifetime experience for Me

[@TXplayneJayne]

And its why i love Def Leppard, when they decided to stay to gether after the death of Steve and Rick losing his arm that was it for me. No other band will be this family unit like Def Leppard is. Love them . ❤❤❤

[@Gueli]

Shaq is the best! We need more people like Shaq

[@mikehunt6218]

I agree, I always knew shaq with a good guy but didn't know a whole lot about him other than playing basketball and being on wrestling, but I'll tell you the man is a class act we do need more people like him 💯

[@dianeloveweights-29]

Awesome Interview. Loves Joes Passion for his music. 🤘❤️

[@monmixer]

I say Montrose also. Warner Brothers Presents was so well produced it was icing on the cake for the former records.

[@Dave..1978-i9t]

Sammy is such a lovely guy. I'd love to meet him, give him a big hug, pour a beer and talk music until the sun comes up. XxxX

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

[@chrisphinney6430]

I was in Vegas four weeks ago had no idea Sammy was there to visit

[@teamjesus7087]

Wow. I didn't know Shag was a musician and lead singer in the band Stonehenge. ..? Hey Sammy . . . Can you interview Zachary ' Zack' Morris and The ZACK ATTACK band next show ? LOL

[@netvids1]

Hi Sammy, if you can see this, I hope you do have your own great resort hotel maybe bring back the mirage theme only bigger and better with a Sammy touch.

[@glennoc8585]

Joe tells it as it was back then with less option's for the working classes as there is today. Most factory work was dirty, dangerous and paid a pittance outside of the car industry or without a trade. The mining paid well but again dirty, dangerous and often you needed to know someone to get in. Those that never became music stars or footballers were the majority and many his age would be still living pay to pay. I get why they keep going because it's a fear of going back to the terrace although that wouldn't happen but it's a psychological thing

[@valentindimitrov7890]

Да са живи и здрави и да ни кефят още дълго време!

[@meld2584]

RESTORED!! 22!!

[@barnonnee]
