[@thecarolinashreds196]

Simple, Badass, Tone from hell, Ronnie Montrose was a force back in the early 70’s. He doesn’t get enough love. The 1973 self titled album Montrose was one of the decades BEST rock albums.

[@chmmm2565]

Amen !!!!!!!

[@JeffCahill-tp8ik]

Him and crew definitely rocked the nation.

RIP Ronnie. Your influence on me is was huge. Thanks for some of the greatest rock and roll ever made!

[@joeyhumphrey4536]

Ditto!!!!

[@patricksullivan9452]

Perfect guitar tone by Ronnie.

[@P51]

[@PainterDans]

Glad I heard this , about to bias my amp tonight. Definatly going to set it a little hot

[@BGM16]

This is one year before Ronnie died, it's very sad. We will always love you, you were one of the greatest. RIP Ronnie Montrose.

[@TheElrocker]

10 years ago today we lost a great one.

[@shawnshawn4786]

Pretty good drummer and bass player, and yet WOW just with one of the all time greatest rock guitarists, makes it sound like 10 in the band. How does that happen?! Great singer too, who reminds me of James Dewar from Trower. What a guitarist. Will never forget taking the plastic off of the Montrose album. RIP Mr. Montrose

[@BLUESKY-zt1nv]

So sad ,depression you never know what its like unless you have it ,you see Ronnie on stage looking like he is having a good time ..but deep down he was probably hurting inside .. losing his uncle and his dog on top of this possibly tipped him over the edge ..His music will live on ,some of the Best Rock Riffs / songs in history ..The simplicity of the riffs with a great sense of rhythm is what made them ..thanks for the music Ronnie ...i wish i could have met you in person ..R.I.P.

[@esp20101]

Fantastic performance 🎶👌🏼 I saw Gamma at the free trade hall in Manchester Uk 1981 God bless the legendary Ronnie Montrose ❤️

[@spumemonk11]

The drummer looks like he's really enjoying himself. What a band!

[@TheElrocker]

Steve is in Tesla now. 🤘🏽

[@AVSSharky]

Used to see him and Sammy on $2 tuesdays at Winterland. R.I.P.

[@bowdaciousbros549]

I got goose bumps from the 6 minute 30 second mark...One of the best to ever do it.

[@sullyb23511]

The smile on Ronnie's face. 🙂

[@michaelvanbuskirk8845]

One of my absolute favorite guitarists and a huge influence on my guitar playing. I was devastated when I heard of his passing. 😢

[@stuarthagen6880]

So Sad, About Ronnie, He Was One Of The Best Guitaists in the world,,, !~

[@daveriff5792]

Vocalist is somewhat of a cross between Sammy Hagar and Paul Rogers... at least to my ears. Great voice!

[@jkyles1000]

To me, he sounds more like Sammy Hagar than Sammy Hagar does.

[@heartfanjim01]

His voice isn't as high as Sammy's was when he was in Montrose.

[@richardthomas6196]

I seen Montrose and mountain paramount 73 in Seattle was the best Montrose blue mountain away

[@thedoobiesistersandsackbla5718]

@Redrum and kinda resembles paul too. hes damn good.

Ronnie's tone here is a great, great benchmark for rock.

[@michaelbujanda8785]

Getting back together to play and jam for sheer fun and joy of the music!!!!😊😊😊😊😊 RIP Ronnie!!!😢🥲 I miss you as a cool ROCK/musician who influenced me!!!! And many other musicians!!! Out there!!!!😊

[@TK-vk3vz]

Me too .. late 70s. Jamming in garbage bands.. that first album was great!

[@jefferykubitz4510]

I'm so happy I got to see him in concert. It was during the Warner Brothers presents Montrose album. Montrose opened for Foghat who opened for Black Oak Arkansas.

[@jimbrookfield9011]

Saw the same tour at Capitol Centre in Largo Md

[@dh-flies]

I really miss Ronnie...This singer is really good.

[@crazyfingers10ful]

The singer is Randy Scoles.

[@dh-flies]

Thanks Stephanie. I had that voice about 30 years ago myself...I've sang most of Montrose's 1st three albums in various bands. Now only Sammy sings like Sammy...lol

[@karenwalters1957]

My God...how I miss this kind of raw energy guitar and blues guitar playing rock and roll. Incredible talent. The vocals are great also.

[@MarinCipollina]

Back from the era when bands knew how to rock & roll.. Ronnie was one of the visionary leaders of the early 1970s;

[@ianfrost9758]

Watching this on Christmas Eve 2022, oh Ronnie, you were such a loss. Too young to see Montrose although I loved them , Gamma I saw live at Manchester In the 80's. Such a great loss, a fantastic musician and man.

[@tommonk7651]

Saw Montrose on about 1977 on a bill with Van Halen (the opener) and Journey. Montrose kicked ass.

[@jimbrookfield9011]

Saw Montrose with Foghat and Black Oak Arkansas around the same time

[@robertjones1528]

Wow. Ronnie passed away only three months later. He still had it till the end!

[@beaveittoleaver2327]

One of the few gems that few get to see, but when they do, they marvel at the beauty. Ronnie was a good man, friend, and mentor. Miss you Ronnie ❤️

[@TRUTH4U2NO]

Ronnie Montrose a absolute monster on the guitar and responsible in so many ways for arguably one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time without a doubt and titled as MONTROSE. RIP R.M.

[@faintinggoatsproductions567]

The guy on vocals nails Hagar’s voice. Excellent.

[@richardthomas6196]

It reminds of the paramount in Seattle Montrose old days and mountain Montrose blew mountain away

[@josephrz6230]

Davey as well as this guy sings better than Hagar, IMHO.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

Naw...Sammy's voice is deeper, this guy has a higher voice. Good singer, but I prefer the deeper tone of Hagar.

[@mr.c8033]

I would say, he's his own voice. Excellent.

[@TheElrocker]

I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more.

[@paulross6962]

i met Ronnie back in the 80s when he did i stint with the band RAIL he was so cool and we had so much fun i miss him what a great guy thanks for the great time we had Ronnie

[@thelastperfectman4139]

Montrose was one of the real hard rock guitar gods--big influence on a generation of guitarists.

[@kayakdog121]

My ears are still ringing from listening to the first album in the 70s

[@audionmusic2787]

I am a veteran of numerous live recordings at dive bars with bands of dubious talent. One night with these guys, Lord, that’s all I ask. 💰

1972 Ronnie Montrose was the Frankenstein in Edgar Winters Band. A Guitar Monster witnessed during a Georgia Tech Concert that year with West, Bruce and Lang the headliner. Thanks Ronnie, your missed.

[@shanhowe973]

[@joeyhumphrey4536]

Well said. He truly did.

[@gregwhite9352]

I was there that night. I catered the after party for Ronnie's 64th birthday. Ronnie and his wife Leighsa were super cool. Listening to Ronnie tell stories about the different bands and people on the wall of pictures was awesome.

[@tommydinkley9623]

Ronnie Montrose could damn sure rock the nation!

[@Brudnlaw67]

Been listening to Ronnie since I was a kid and now in my 50’s I’m just blown away by how good he plays!

[@Pineemonkeys2ndchannel]

What an incredible treasure. Ronnie was truly a master originator on guitar. Legendary even back in the 1970’s when he was creating the incredible tone he spoke thru his guitar 🎸

[@christanner3761]

So Great!!! Any rocker growing up in California in the 1970's remembers this great song. So many memories. Take's me right back to Sunken City in San Pedro, Ca. 1979. Smoking dope and rocking. Oh yeah, drinking 32 oz Budweisers too. Great Post.

[@Malibu1515]

This is so cool. Seeing Ronnie old still rocking brings smiles to my face and fires me up all over again. RIP Guitar God Versatle singer. Has a good Sammy voice and I'll bet he covers Bad Co. tunes also very good.

[@joeyhumphrey4536]

Absolutely Awesome! I always loved the guys in the 70"s that could shred a guitar. Ronnie was the best at it. RIP Ronnie

[@jockevans4682]

I saw him in his heyday at Rockefellers in Houston, he was awesome. Such a talent! Rock Candy & Rock the Nation. A true rock N roller! U can see it here. 🎸💞🙏

Ronnie was my first guitar hero before Eric and Jimmy Page. Saw him at Wow Hall in Eugene, OR circa 2011. So much fun! His playing is so much fun to listen too!

[@alanlevy9193]

[@gtr1983]

Never got a chance to see him but was certainly an musical influence on me, i remember learning a few of his songs, they were fairly simple but not simple to play with his kind of finesse ! Excellent vocalist, bass and drums !!!

[@mickmel1000]

Great singer and Ronnie

That voice is amazing!! Ronnie should have been a mega- star. Getting rid of Sammy was a big mistake!! But I guess he realized that over the years. But... the real music people knew him and bought his music over the years! Gamma was a killer group and the first Montrose album is amount the 50 greatest rock albums of all time.
