Ronnie Montrose (Mach One)

[@stephenhall11]

When I lived in Frisco with Ronnie he would say to me," Steve, nothing is happening! Drag my amp out into the alley!" Ronnie would jump up on top of the amp and open fire! And people would come from all over the Tenderloin and something was happening! Rock and Roll is all I've got!

@TouringArtz A Big THANK YOU For Posting a Live version of Ronnie Montrose performing " MACH 1." I never thought I'd ever see a version of it on the Tube.

I love when you can see the joy in a musician’s face when they are in the zone and really having fun.

[@MegaPeewee8]

Makes it look so easy and just love the way he plays so stylish and musical

[@TheKoufax6532]

and to think, we will never be able to see this again.

Montrose was at his best doing instrumentals like this. He really spoke to the audience through his guitar.

I love the fact that Ronnie plays these intricate figures on guitar...I always think that his sound is accidental in these intricate figure they were or are one-off improvisations... but then I hear the live versions an Ronnie Montrose is in total complete command getting the exact same sound and tone he got in the studio-- playing the intricate figures note-for-note........this is not an easy thing to do and not necessarily the case with other guitar virtuosos.

Yes!! I'd MUCH rather hear 5 tasty & melodic notes from someone like Ronnie Montrose, Neal Schon or Steve Lukather than 1000 cold and clinical-sounding notes from Joe Satriani ...

^^ wait, wot?

[@jamesprice6381]

10 ft from him on this album in a tiny bar in Dallas Tx, heard it over the ROCK station, n BARELY made it, ( 85 TA a smokin the Interstate ) It was a SMALL crowd, but Ronnie played like it was MSG..SORELY MISSED, hope you found peace......

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

[@arthurmurfitt7698]

[@bobdawson1629]

The look of a man who KNEW he had the baddest guitar on the block.

[@Ebaneezer]

Sheeze drummers a little too excited

[@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312]

I probably would be to playing behind Ronnie LOL dude went on to play with Stevie nicks in his resume looks like a who who who's Who he's usually like two gigs to go to every night on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays at n a.m.m last January he could only plan a few songs at Ronnie fest cuz he had to cut out early to play on a gig everyone wants him playing

[@waskele.wabbit717]

He sounds like a broken washing machine

[@markcurtis2931]

I agree it's obnoxious, but he's keeping perfect time. Listen to the original studio version of this song, and it's the same tempo. I think it's the way it was mic'd/tuned on the kick drum for this show. Or he needs a new head, bigger pillow LOL.
