Ronny Montrose was a bad mofo🎸

Montrose played a show at Cal Poly SLO in 1976. The show was sold out, but hundreds of fans from the valley came over anyway thinking they could get tickets. When they discovered that they couldn’t, they rioted outside the gym, breaking some large plate glass windows. Montrose played on through the carnage.

Bad ass rock no BS

I remember meeting Sammy or Roney Montrose after a concert and was given an 8 track cassette of Montrose ..one..made history

Oh fuck yeah! Ride right back to 75!

Way back in the 90s I was sitting in a near empty club on Broadway in downtown Nashville when this super short and wide near blind cat walked in carrying a guitar case and a Fender amp. The Bartender said he was the newest hottest guitar slinger fresh in town from Maine. To my deep regret we left before he began playing. THIS is THAT GUY!

Way before he was the red rocker

Denny Carmassi was a beast on the drums!👍

Listened to this song for decades and never realized how badass the bass is in this song !

With the fabulous Chris Farr on drums!

Alright, alright, alright.

We love you Sammy

God you are amazing but Ronnie was a rhythm machine! A look down upon 59’ Les Paul standard and 4 Fender tweed deluxes🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤that’s what your trying to achieve with them Marshall’s and it’s not working ehhhh? It’s a thing called voltage

They should have stayed together, together they made some awesome music.

Space Station #5, Rock Candy, Make It Last & so many more great ones on this album. Montrose destroys that guitar!

This is an underappreciated early rock anthem. Sammy Hagar wearing his best 'I look like Robert Plant' outfit.

First 2 albums were by far the bast. Textbooks on southern boogie. Les Pauls, Kim Davis, and any hint of energy sorely missed from this video.

I find the riff and bass hypnotic! The drumming is great too and I love Sammy Hagar's singing in this!!!

Le meilleur guitariste en son genre merci et tres plaisant à écouter parlé sa guitare encore merci jp

Ronnie M and Sammy slinging that stuff! Loved seeing these guys live!

superb playing from the big guy! great band too, thanks!

Smooth as they come

Sammy and Paul Rodgers share the same vocal cords. 😎

"I'd come out to your place, (but) I'm afraid of your dad." Epic. I was smack dab in the middle of high school when this album came out. The Golden Age to be alive for rock and roll.

I've seen him a few times in San Diego. Great player. Played with The Yardbirds for a while. Excellent solo artist.

Could be worse, dirtbag Henry Paul could be singing it.

No way you can drive 55 listening to this in your car.🏎😱

Best version!

This song kicks ass...

If you haven't listened to them, get his albums "Nils Lofgren" (his first album) and "Cry Tough" (second album). So good. He played on Neil Young's "after the goldrush" and "tonights the night" albums too. God knows what he was doing with Bruce Springsteen though - paying the bills I suppose.

🚨🚨 I just saw the lead singer in concert last night. Michael Anthony on bass, Joe Satriani on lead, Jason Bonham on drums. Rai Thistlethwayte on keys. PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel NJ. The show was…. INSANE. 76 and the Red Rocker still destroys it…!! 👊🏼

I think I heard Sammy's voice crack a little at the end there 😂😂😂 These were good times when this song first came out! ❤

I got this one on vinyl. Bought it when it came out.

I love to watch him. 65 and I still love watching him💙

Hello Julie Dickson! Lol! She''ll she this someday and have a chuckle. Roy-Hart, Gasport ect....

Two genius

I was 12 when this dropped. I swore it sounded like a motorcycle.

I listened to similar bands who laid similar tracks back in the '70s, but can't truly remember really ever listening to Montrose. I may have heard them played at the house parties and field keggers I attended, but I never owned any of their records. Listening now to "Bad Motor Scooter", it sounds familiar, or the lyrics were perhaps quoted by some friends. I'm going to listen now in 2024 to some of their discography to try and jog my memory, because it sounds so classic of that era. Sure can pick out Sammy's contributions! The bands I listened to and whose records I owned back then included Grand Funk, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Maynard Ferguson, Led Zep, Guess Who, Chicago, BTO, Black Sabbath, Beatles, Monkees, Herman's Hermits, Peter and Gordon, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Four Seasons, Raspberries, Ides of March, Rare Earth, Santana, Creedence Clearwater, Pink Floyd, Joe Walsh, Golden Ear Ring, Boston, James Gang, Edgar Winter, ... ????

I lived the best years. Through the 60s 70s and of course the 80s. Then fake music took over LoL 😭😭 ❤ Love for all. Even the I D 10 ts who still don't know if they have a stick, or a garage ❤😊

That's what Rock music sounds like

This is my friend Tim Curry's favorite album

That's fuckin rock and roll

I'd come out to your place but I'm afraid of your DAD, .. classic rock & roll from the boys. Love you Sammy, and to you Mr Montrose

❤ HS Class of 1975 🎉

Killer classic guitar solo

This is Van Halen AT THEIR BEST. Van Halen in 1974 was probably The Hottest Band in LA, and this is The Seminal Lineup: Brothers Ronnie Montrose on Guitar and Denny Carmassi on Drums, Michael Anthony on Bass and Backing Vocals, and Dave Lee Roth on Vocals. SO GOOD!!!! BadMotorFinger was probably The Best Album in The Grunge Era. They ROCKED Sunset Boulevard.

Compare Sammy voice with David Roth...no comparison.

The first band I was in in 1975 in Buffalo New York 3 door garage during the blizzard of 1977 and the ice storm of 1976 play Rock the nation and bad motor scooter have anybody knew who this band was

Nils Lofgren is incredibly talented.

Making MAINE proud.............
