this just underscored the value of great musical composition. for the many songs that i write they are lyrically smooth and whatever but i also recognize that they need great musicians to take my work to the next level.
rob's vocal style is easy enough to emulate, he's a pop artist but there is only one Santana and he transcends popular music.
Hey, why did Carlos kiss him at the end? Well Rob wrote a song that won some Grammy's and put millions of dollars in his pocket! Wow if he did that for me I'd kiss him too (Then spit to make it look like it was gross,,HAAAA)
que desgracia todo la canción iba tan bien, la musica, la interpretación... hasta que tenía que venir el beso gay de carlos con robb... nos da una idea de lo que pasa en privado... que mierda...
Is it just me but is solo's in a song just in general like a boost of energy is seems to me it is everyone just turns into fuckn epic mode after the guitar player plays an epic solo and nails it.
@paullink2010 Carlos not only owned the stage he owned the Grammys that year. He was beautiful in this performance. Congratulations go out to Rob Thomas who won 3 Grammys for Smooth, one of them was for writing the song. Yes, Rob Thomas wrote the song and like most song writers they want all the elements to work together to create a musical experience. Rob's vocals are unbelievable in this song. Carlos, well, he's Carlos and together they are Supernatural!
Santana is what he is; Steve Howe is what he is; Clapton is what he is; Jeff Beck is what he is; Van Halen is what he is and on and on. It's all in how the sound you hear is fueled by the vision you have and how that vision drives your feelings. Then, if you can play it, it'll come out as pure genius. Then...you sound like a god of the music you play. That goes for songwriters, too. It all is developed into a great thing in the end...but, it takes head, heart and skill to pull it off.
I fell in love with this song and didn't know it was Santana - DUH and went out and bought every single "matchbox twenty" album because I didn't know the name either. Eventually a guy at a store tuned me in - since then I have a whole dance routine for this song. Love this.
I really like the looks and voice of Rob Thomas. I really like that he's so like the boy next door. His dress is low key, he could have just come from baseball practice.
You are just a retard. Get out of your little dirty hole and travel the world... in other cultures men kissing men does not at all mean they are gay or anything of the sort.
@KPECTOHOCETC that comment was minor this is great show they put on i clearly am not shocked they kissed i dont approve However u comment on my comment before the song how pathetic
@34whynot45 I LOVE the way Rob sounds in this video, I think he is one of the best live performers out there. But you know, to each his own, it's just not your cup of tea.
