"Happiness is not a future event" Man. I needed to hear that.

[@e-mail881]

In the mindset you're in, that's useless platitude, son.

[@TexasJackdaw]

I swear Gary and Nuno just don’t age. They look as amazing as they did back in the day. Still a great band. Thanks Sammy for the hang with them. And taking us along with you. 🙏

[@forthwith]

No kids 🤣

[@FunkAdelik]

@@forthwith Nuno has kids.

[@pooanddoo]

These guys take care of themselves

[@steffee99]

Sammy is the best example of a rock star growing old gracefully. Such a classy guy. Much admiration!

[@lorelieplum81]

Dear Lord, Gary and Nuno look amazing! Both around 60 and both look 20 years younger!

[@rekdinhopoetico]

🙂pretty true

[@forthwith]

That performance at the end! Never imagined I'd see all of them together - amazing! Extreme, Sammy, Van Halen rocks!

[@justingenow9778]

I had genuine goosebumps from that performance at the end. It was one of those performances that just puts a smile on your face.

[@joshuawalls7102]

Facts!

[@ibgoliath8400]

What is a throat coat. Sounds like some gay shit.

[@PaulBouton]

My late wife used to promote bands back when first met in the early 1990's , including Extreme , before Pornograffitti .... The great thing about this was there was a band called FLESH that she had a demo for that the lead singer was Nuno's brother Paul Bettencourt and the lead guitarist was Gary's brother Mark Cherone.... Unfortunately, all of cassettes are gone somewhere, probably a landfill... After she passed , unfortunately I couldn't bring everything with me when I moved into a 1 BDR apartment .... It saddens me though 😞... Good music and even more amazing memories 🎸🤘🏻😎😁🙏🏻✝️💖

[@notozknows]

I met Van Halen in 1998 and I met Gary Cherone, he blended in with the rest of our group but I found him, the most humble rock star I've met. Super nice and actually kinda shy. He will be on the list one of the greatest vocalists ever. Good story but too long about my 'encounter' with Eddie, phew! Eddie completely chewed me up and just despised by my presence. I was totally respectful to him. Alex, super cool, dude smart as a rocket scientist.

[@bradwest4821]

That's because in 1998 Eddie was the biggest drunk asshole on the planet. That's sad to hear.

[@TheRealMrLofasz]

Kenny Powers. Mind of a scientist.

[@mrg99999]

That was so enjoyable, relaxed and fantastic vocals and guitar at once! In the outdoors under the blue sky in the hills, thank you for inviting us!

[@mab2112]

Extreme’s most recent album is amazing!

[@Fishin4funout4trout]

Absolutely. I'm gonna go see them for my first time in Vegas in Feb.

[@radcat95]

@@Fishin4funout4trout Awesome! Seeing them in Rochester in Jan.

[@cherylb2008]

Gary you look great. You truly have a gift for singing. Great voice I would play More than Words for years for a few times a week It was such beautiful harmony Love Sammy’s interviews My favorite Who song

[@JokersWild70]

This just goes to show how good of a guy Samny is, and why so many people like him

[@aztecwhistle9122]

From Gary to Adam Levine, he'll literally hang out with anybody lol

[@theshanny8]

Because he is from the bay area and ppl who grew up in the bay area are waaay. Cooool

[@RJRussoVids]

Three of the most amazing musicians right here! 💥🤘(And pretty great people too I think.)

[@pauliej4139]

The guys gave me chills when they performed. Awesome 🤘

[@michelerocks167]

That made me so very happy! Love Extreme & Sammy

[@toddnallastx]

Nuno is what a true artist is. He bares his soul, draws you in and through his music colors who you are in that brief moment that captivates and brightens your soul.

[@bobmitt472]

[@cherylb2008]

Great interview. The untold story here is how amazing Sammy looks for 75. Not sure if its the Cabo Wabo tequilla, but I'm going to do some investigative research.

[@jeffreyyannuzzi4832]

Get episode. Every word of the Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again written 50 years ago still rings true today in 2024

[@johncarlo6661]

Great to see them kicking it after all life's trials and tribulations, great quote from Nuno about happiness, which I'll steal, and Gary sounds amazing as ever, a simple and humble Man!? No doubt, he just hits that switch and damm. Thanks Sammy

[@circa33]

Great interview... great band. What a way to end the video!

[@crazycooper1024]

Wow, that is really awesome to hear Sammy and Gary sing together!!! Two former VH frontmen. I wonder what Dave thought about this lmao

[@tim46387]

3 of the most talented guys in the business. Rock and roll royalty right there. Fun interview. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall in that room. Sammy has his Maui shirt on. Aloha Sammy.

Incredible video. Thank you Sammy for this project. Gary and Nuno thank you guys too for Freddie Mercury Tribute concert!!!!

[@carolkraft6806]

That guitar is smoked! LONG LIVE ROCK!

[@TheLochs]

True story. I'm a pro musician in Boston. I used to play a popular bar in Boston (Faneuil hall) every Wednesday night. We would pull a nice crowd and it was a good time. One night somebody yells "play some Extreme". Now I'm a fan and played some of their songs back in the day but was not well rehearsed on their stuff. So I'm kinda drunk and play Whole Hearted. Much to my dismay I look over at the bar and there is Gary Cherone. I'm butchering the song and he just looks like wtf is this guy doing. the reason somebody yelled "play some Extreme" is because they hoped Gary would jump up and sing. lol. well, he didn't. He let me bomb. Then there was the time Mike Mangini played with me. my jaw was on the floor. Same gig different night.

[@lukebandy516]

Did Tom Scholz from Boston stop by ?

[@pooanddoo]

😂😂😂 I bet Gary had a blast 😂😂😂

[@Ghosttothepost]

Great Show Guys

[@theshanny8]

OMG I LOVE NUNO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jacekcel36]

You guys made me like The Who more. It's amazing how music connects generations. Are you making new Extreme album? :D

[@dcb485]

Wonder which song they played for Sammy? Probably Rise.

[@Viktorpitton]

Lovely guys)

[@steffee99]

AWESOME!!!

[@TheRealMrLofasz]

Sammy kicks ass. Gets along with everyone. No hard feelings. Good dude.

[@samuraiface]

What a killer jam!!!

[@theshanny8]

Fuck yeah !

[@fredricclack7137]

🎩 10 of over 💯!

[@grandy2875]

Great catch up for these blokes... This is the second thing I've seen where someone has, jokingly, bitched about those stairs,,,my guess is that's how Nuno keeps that "drover's dog" physique of his... I reckon running up and down those things'll keep you pretty damn fit...😏 🙃🐨🇦🇺

[@mancuniancandidatem]

Wow. Sammy and Gary sound like stereo when they sing in unison.

[@TheBrettWilson]

9:56 Don Henley will take this video down in 5, 4, 3, 2... 😂

[@cristianofranco2764]

Caralho, que foda

[@sangeronimoband9018]

He’s just good.

[@carlosdanger6129]

Gary, Sammy and Dave do a tour together

[@chucke4294]

Damn!!!!

[@rtc931]

Funny Sam mentioned Steve Perry recorded with Nuno. No one has ever heard those songs.

[@tonyponchopeters]

The 2 Azorean Brothers.

[@fredricclack7137]

FKN A: 💕 Extremely!

[@Chumly409]

Happiness is a fish you can't catch...

[@tube33139]

Can’t believe Hagar is 76 btw.

[@andrewzenn1719]

I am not a fan of Gary's voice. But I love his attitude and his songs.... What's wrong with me???? Gary and Sammy are awesome. Maybe they both can record together one VH album from both eras in Nuno's studio. Not gonna make millions, but will be cool as heck and original.

[@TX123412]

Is Gary ok, he seems aloof. Good guy but something seems off.

[@gbmoves7902]

How old is this?? C'mon AXS how about some new stuff??

[@Sabouma28]

this is not that old....

[@kath182]

Gary isn't very talkative. 😊

[@realscience948]

Sammy...don't sing on this album ..career mistake!

[@michaelbartley9572]

Man I'm sorry but never been a fan of sammy. He goes on like he put van Halen on the map. He may of sang better than Dave but the chemistry was better with Dave. He just seems so arrogant.

[@sammygmartinistheman]

Repeated episode from ages ago!!

[@davidleerotharmy]

[@davidclark7973]

Awesome video! Great song choice too in “won’t get fooled again”. Folk need to listen to those lyrics right now ❤
