    Sammy, Robert & Roger, man, they all 3 had it goin’ on back then. Robert & Roger especially, are such bombastic frontmen. Visually as well as vocally, a rare treat. Daltrey stands out because of the swinging mic, like a bull whip. No wonder Sammy zeroed in on Roger, he just needed some more practice in that department.

    @KittyGrizGriz I wasn’t aware of that. I remember reading an interview (Ronnie) back in early 80’s most likely Guitar Player mag as that was my only subscription I had back in the day. He basically said Sammy was getting most of the attention ie; radio interviews, on tour. Having a band named after your last name he probably felt like the leader. My take away back then was he had an ego and was jealous of Sammy getting all the attention. Ronnie also talked about having a problem with alcohol too. You know this was all to much of a common denominator musicians had back in the day. Drugs alcohol and egos broke up some talented bands. Very rarely was it a change in musical direction. ( Styx ) It’s sad that he took his life. Mental illness is a terrible condition.

    Trapeze was amazing. After Glenn Hughes left to join Deep Purple they weren’t as good. Hughes wasn’t replaceable in that band. You Are the Music, We are the Band is my favorite album of theirs. Just awesome. They were really popular in Texas too.

    I saw Montrose in 74 at Charlotte Rock Festival . It was at the Charlotte Speedway. There was 200,000 people there. Also, were the Allman Brothers , Emerson Lake and Palmer, Marshall Tucker, Foghat, Eagles, and ZZTop. We camped out in some woods that was close by. It was an amazing time. Cheers !!

    And Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas. Van Halen were fans of Montrose. They chose Ted Templeman who had also produced Montrose. Ted didn't think DLR could sing and wanted to bring in Sammy before recording VH1. Eddie convinced him Roth was right for the group. VH did an early tour opening for Montrose and things turned sour rather quickly. As Ed told the story, Ronnie was ripping him off and doing his own version of Eruption.

He said Dave is an incredible writer, super intelligent, witty story teller, song writer. rapper, singer, and ultimate performer and front man and the perfect singer for VH. All one has to do is go listen to the isolated vocal tracks of Dave singing. Dave had serious vocal chops. I can't stand wammys vocals on Van Gina! All he does is his annoying scream voice and wanna be Dave rapping during the songs! SO LAME.
