MONTROSE I got to ask the thing every montrose fan has wonders Sammy wouldn't have ever got into a position with out ronnie or got to be a frontman for the greatist smoking hot band from southern calif.

      I've NEVER identified, lyrically, with Van Halen. Too many songs about getting stoned, rich, and laid.
      But the massive, high-energy atmosphere they created lights a spark in my feeble old mind to this day :) I can't believe these fuckers did this shit sometime in their 40s, but some people were born to kick ass :)

    June 17th 2020 I woke up from an emergency 8 way bypass to the sounds of top of the world in my recovery room. The nursing staff said they ask me if there was any music that I wanted to hear and I said top of the world. It's crazy how a band can grasp you and never let go. I first saw Van Halen in 1978 and I was hooked for life.

    ❤ Will always love them. It’s hard when your favorite bands are no longer. Everybody from Van Halen to AC/DC for example. So many times because of death. I’m 60 years old, and I will always cherish the memories of bands that are no longer especially due to death. All we have are memories in our heads before cell phones to record. I’m thankful for UA-cam for being able to watch videos before that time whether they are good quality video or not. It’s heart wrenching to watch these videos that we were so fortunate to be able to see in person, and now, so many are no longer among us.
