The first Montrose album never got the recognition it truly deserved. Truly a rock masterpiece . One of my favorites to this day

[ERICF]

I don’t always listen to Montrose, but when I do….so do the neighbors!!🔥👊🏽🎶🎶🤣🤣🔊🔊🥁🎤🎸

I met Sammy at his book signing in 2011 and told him that the first Montrose album got me through high school. He laughed and said, me too!!

[dougconley]

I was 8 yrs old in 1974. Became a Sammy Hagar fan in the mid 80's and now I'm 57 in the year 2023 and Sammy is still rockin' it. 😊

Everybody should be required to listen to MONTROSE ar least once ...mandatory!

[richardhessian]

Everybody discusses how influential Montrose was, but few mention how critical Bill Church's hyper Bass playing and Denny Carmassi's aggressive drumming were to the sound of this band. They were the reason one guitar was "enough" in this band.

Every time I start to hate the internet, I stumble upon a gem like this.🤯

I met Sammy back in 1990 in Malibu where I was working as a chef, I made him lunch and told him how much I loved this album, his response word for word was, " THAT'S THE BEST ALBUM I'VE EVER DONE OR EVER WILL DO !!!! "

[KOSMICKEN]

Sammy is 75 this year and still rockin 🤘

[rmartin]

That first Montrose record is still my favorite Hagar recording of all time.

[monkeystank]

Ronnie Montrose, one of the most underrated guitarist of the 70s, as well as Robin Trower.

[stephenm.harrissr.]

We absolutely had the best music in the 70s. I had the privilege to see these guys when i was about 18. I'm 69 now and STILL loving Montrose!! Im the old man headbangin in my car every morning!!!😅😅😅

[sunnyd]

Sammy has been around forever and he is still kicking it today like he was 23. Cheers Sammy, keep on rocking.

[bearbryant]

The first Montrose album is one of those few perfect albums, from start to finish

[papasquat]

50 years later and Sammy is still killing it.

[erwinroman]

The ‘70s were the best. Great time to be a teen in high school. Awesome music. I have Montrose first album, a pre-release, not for sale demo for radio station promotional. Kicks ass.

[dalemcalpine]

No lip sync dribble, just raw synergy- brilliant!!

[patramirez]

Montrose is and always shall be an all star band.this is the definition of a rock band.

[CollinAbbott]

Sammy has really done it all. Montrose, a badass solo career, Van Halen etc. he’s took great care of himself and looks great now at 71! He’s a true rockstar

I first heard Montrose when I was 17 years old at friends place. He just bought the album on a chance the music would be good. There was about 5 of us & we were knocked on asses by the music. I don't remember how many times we listened to that album that day but it was alot. Safe to say we were & still are huge Montrose fans. Unfortunate he was such an underated guitar musician along with Robin Trower. Execellence is to be savored.
