[@morgancarter2736]

The best man and band ever I love matchbox 20 songs and rob Thomas song I love to listening and sing to the song he always a star 🎶💗⭐️

[@TylerFrisbee]

Wow - this guy is the best interviewer I've ever seen in my life. His questions were extremely well thought out and he always seemed to improvise new ones based upon Rob's answers. Really, really impressed. As a huge fan of Rob Thomas and Matchbox, thank you for the great interview

[@lauracorbett4577]

Tyler Frisbee I love this guy he's my brother in spirit and I'm inspired by his story about the 3AM song about his mom having cancer which I feel sorry for and I love his sister Missy and the whole family

[@PaulaJoW]

I agree. An interviewer who is genuinely interested and LISTENS. Well done.

[@robbiem9293]

It didn’t hurt that he was interviewing one of the best to interview!! I’ve watched a lot of Robs interviews and have yet to see a bad one. He always has well thought out answers with no ‘uh’s or ‘you knows’

[@azizaayech8714]

👊👏👏👏👏👏

[@priscillachapman9145]

Rob is an amazing conversationalist!! So easy so smooth.

[@liscel3556]

Love all of his dimensions from 1 to another like all of the different people he has sang with and about and then also his own solo and one of my favorite all-time people in music and I mean just the happiest time in my life when I used to hear his songs so many great songs special and I'm so glad that and his wife as far as I know are still together and I think it's wonderful I remember hearing about them when they first were together and I'm so happy that they are still together and have had a really long relationship and I don't know recently exactly but I know that they were together for a very long time and I think I think it is wonderful

[@rozeanjel]

Rob Thomas is a brilliant empath who can articulate feelings in a way that speaks to your soul. I have been to many many of his concerts and each time I took someone who didn't want to be there...Each time my complaining guest would be as intensely drawn into the music as me by song three or four because of the way he performs with his whole heart and soul. You just can't help but go through the stories in his songs with him just by listening to them, but seeing and hearing him sing them live is indescribable really! Thank you for the video. Thank you Rob Thomas for so many of comfort through relating so well. Your ability to articulate and share your feelings is amazing. I lost that "along the way." After living as an empath with my own many tragedies, blessings, violations, surprises, after my life became for God, my sons and husband, and other loved ones and then after my mom died at 47, I forgot how to share me. We used to share our feelings through music with each other and elaborate with our own metaphors. That's okay, I can still dance like know ones watching, sing like no one's listening and love like I have been hurt before and I never want to cause hurt to anyone else. Anyway it's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks they think too much, know too much but not enough. I'm not the only one who has "heard that silence, (the) God awful sound...", had "a long day.", has a hand me down heart, feels "a little unwell," and is still happy to be blessed again each day that "I am one less day from dying young", so I can watch my grandson grow with a presence like I've only just re-learned from little empath him. My family tells me I should write a book about my eventful life, I'd rather write songs if I knew how. Love you and your wife much!!! Thank you for being a great example and inspiration both of you!

[@annalineramos516]

intelligent, great singer-songwriter. you're part of the 1% Rob, you're writing with/for them.

[@cindysemblante4411]

Rob Thomas… what a gifted, intelligent, well read, creative human being and performer. I enjoy him so much and have been a fan since the first album was released. He is so humble and down to earth, and shines his light on everyone, no grandstanding or patting himself on the back. As a song writer I believe he keeps improving his craft, even though it already sounds like perfection to my ears. Thank you Rob. You have touched my heart over and over again

[@priscillachapman9145]

I’ve just discovered this guy through hearing the Santana band playing Smooth and Rob singing it. I was blown away and I heard this 2020!!! So I’ve never heard Matchbox 20.

[@poppette1978]

almost two decade and we still love u rob and mb20 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@BonBon-fn9dh]

Rob is simply a awesome and powerful singer!!!

[@janlipinski9838]

Ever the Same is one of my favorite.

[@MicheleOwens-Rosenthal-yg4tu]

❤❤❤ Rob and matchbox! I'm 56 and I was going through a divorce and at 28 and it took me through 2 more years to actually get out of an abusive marriage with 2 kids. your music helped me through so much!!! 😊😊

[@janlipinski9838]

Rob you are the Great Writer, and 'Push' is my favorite....Don't change your writing talent , keep on true to yourself

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Amazing interview with Rob Thomas he's unbelievable but incredible🥀👍

[@SPORT2932]

Great interview. As I listened I thought that Rob would make a great college professor. He's extremely articulate and very well read. I could watch an hour interview of him just talking about books.

[@luannezuleger]

You ROCK ROB❤

[@maryrosepatruski1472]

I love you Rob Thomas! 💖🌹

[@cillastricklnd2988]

[@jeremysartin745]

Bought the debut when I was 12. Still love it over 20 years later.

[@PaulaJoW]

Rob is not only a talented musician, he's smart.....and witty. (I've seen MB20 at least 15 times). Great interview.

[@mari4sol]

great interview -love listen to Rob no matter he sings or talk ,always he has something to say -unconditional love since 20+ years

[@paularobledo4397]

He's just hot!

[@lauracorbett4577]

Paula Robledo I love it when he tells stories about his life and his mother and about the 3AM song and I love his sister Missy

[@heidibarnard8861]

I love all your songs, they tend to focus on real life moments that I can relate to. Keep doing what you do, you are the best!

[@florencepickeringjenigen2591]

Just wanted to say, first I'm so very sorry about your Mom, I never knew my favorite song 3am was about such a heart wrenching time in your life. 3am is absolutely my favorite song that I relate to with all your Lyrics. I had a Brain Aneurysm in 2007, and we in the Aneurysm Groups talk about the rain all the time. My favorite part of that song is She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, but outside it stopped raining Amazing. Just truly Amazing because I truly feel that. We meaning my 3 Gorgeous Daughters and myself recently went to see you out in Camden on July 16, 2023. It was such an Amazing time for us as their Daddy was just diagnosed with Cancer and I was trying to give them a night out away from the trauma of dealing with their Daddy. It has been very extremely hard on them so I just wanted to give them a lil piece of Happy at such a very hard time. And it was such an Amazing time for us, we did everything that night so perfectly. My youngest daughter made all our tshirts for the event and each one had a favorite Lyric from one of your songs. Of course mine was without a doubt, she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway. Thank you so much for such great memories for us, we had waited for that concert since 2020, and then in 2023 it finally happened, and for all of us it meant so much to us. You are such an amazing writer, we love you and will always continue to follow you. ❤️ you❤❤❤️😘😘😘😘

[@sharynmain2432]

Yes… “she thinks that happinesses is a mat that sits in her doorway”. He is such a wordsmith, love his energy and his depth. I wish you well with your life’s moments and hope the music brings some solace.

[@denisehedden13]

🥀Amazing Interview Rob Thomas is so Amazing he's so down to earth & has that creative mind. What kind of person who can conquer a concert grab the fans hearts on different levels, oh yeah that's a true artist & I respect that🥀☝️🥀

[@dudeeyemysillyaustraliansh4138]

@ThisisRobThomas his amazing! His music does touch the fans. I can relate to a lot of the songs and mad season was the anthem for my life until can't help me now came out at a very hard time in my life pieces I can just go on about his music forever but my aunt was with me through the shows. She is 76 now. Seen matchbox on this 2023 tour my daughter has been my sons have been now it's already to my grandchildren so the music started with me and my aunt as fans and now my 3-year-old grandson, my 8-year-old granddaughter, my 5-year-old grandson all love his music so he's out now at his age. I'm the same age my aunt. Probably her last show. I hope not but getting harder for her but he will see me in the audience with every generation of my family It's the songwriting, the voice, how much he puts into it and his love for his fans. So at 60 as he mentioned in the video, I'll still be there with grandkids lol and when he does sing he is related with the fans Matchbox 20 is so amazing! Rob is so amazing! This family we created as fans are so amazing but it started with them being so genuine. Not big headed and you can talk to them. Not like he's a big rock star. They are so down to earth. The biggest thing I've met Rob a lot more than the others. He's always took time to snap that picture or come and say hello or give me a nod while he's playing. So I feel connected that this person I'm paying to go see play actually cares about these fans that are here 100%. His fans are so great! We even started a group for his wife. Mari, during her illnesses it's like a big family and it started with the group to make it amazing for the fans

[@maryrosepatruski1472]

My son was 19 he passed away from a unnoticed heart condition, we always sang Hang together 😢💔

[@sharynmain2432]

I am so sorry that you lost him so soon in his journey… Hung as a song is so …. Incredible and deep. Love Matchbox 20.

[@maryrosepatruski1472]

You are gods beautiful creation ! I freaking love you 💖🌹

[@itsmedelaney4285]

Ok if I saw Rob in grocery store it would NOT go like that. Lol my grocery store plays MB20 every time I'm there. I rock out! ❤

[@rayneedaebluz]

Best 26:47-minute interview I've had the pleasure of watching! great upload! Will be watching more of Mr. Manouse

[@rickwyliee2910]

This interview was great and I think Rob Thomas is very smart and one day he will be part of the one percent

[@liscel3556]

As a person who was just so happy at that time when he first came out and when they were first together and now my life has taken a downturn and stuff but you know I'm just so happy that to see more about them you know and I'm so happy that they're still together and I see him now and I just that music made me so such a happy time in my life but also just made me so happy so thank you Rob Thomas and your wife thank you

[@mattparr3038]

[@workingclassperson2124]

I know this much. Hes got the same Bday as my step dad hes a rat "zodiac" sign like my wife hes "metal"zodiac like me. It was my mom Inez who was a fan first remember CD's :) i still remember her singing into the center channel speaker in our living room. Now i do the same. We lost my mom to A.L.S 10 years ago Nov 28th. My Step dad lived "Diamonds" i cant watch the video to that song and the way he sings that song it helps to let go and sing while crying. Ive been singing his songs his way for so long that in my Karaoke fantasys in my head i like to think im doing his songs justice. But i know he sings and writes from his heart so i know he or his FANS love that i sing his songs as well as i possibly can. Im sure we all do the same thing when we sing his songs /;). Im 4 yrs 10 months sober from booze. I know his songs helped me along the way. Im now gettn a real good job soon better then what i do now. So i plan to start seeing him in concert. Hes touched so many of his fans. HE TRULY DOESN'T KNOW JUST HOW LEGANDARY HE TRULY IS. thats my dog moo moo rott Pitt/chihuahua papillon mix i raised on Ceaser Mullans teachings and hes a perfect dog. There are animal lovers then there folks like he and his wife that show and do not just talk about gettn behined a cause(s). I feel so lucky to be alive when he is to enjoy all he does. Happy 2019!!! To Rob his family(s) his band and his FANS!!!!

[@sharralynnpiercewoolworth6358]

That song 3am has a much deeper meaning that he hasn't discovered yet. I hope he does soon.

[@michaelcovel3793]

I didn't know the Tabitha's Secret songs were all written by Rob. It explains that split by them. Those songs were as good as any, but not produced by Matt Serletic.

[@xmillionfitnessworlds]

nobody should treat you like that
