Montrose

[Ain't Talkin' Bout' Love]

Maybe this should be in the music thread, but I thought it would be applicable here. Since it's pretty much certain Sammy won't ever play in VH again, I think a Montrose reunion and album would do very well. I love the Wabos, but Montrose is too often overlooked as a great rock band and they were far too short lived. The first album just plain rocks from start to finish. I love Space Station #5, Make It Last, Rock Candy, and I Don't Want It.
Paper Money didn't have as much balls, but it didn't have a single bad song on it. I love Underground, I've Got The Fire and Paper Money. these albums looked like an amazing start for a rising rock band, but it was so short lived. Then in 1997, when they reunited to do "Leaving the Warmth of the Womb" on MTM, they proved they were still a musical force. Possibly my fav song on that album. Any thoughts or opinions on any of this?

sammy's already reunited with montrose in the last couple of years as a tack-on special performance to a handful of his solo shows...

while the montrose stuff is good, i don't think there's a big pent up demand for it to warrant a full-fledged tour...

at most, i think you could see them getting together to do a new track or two for a compilation or as part of a solo project from ronnie or sammy...

Ronnie Montrose is currently working on a new project, "10x10", which will have a rotating cast of singers, Sam being one of them, I believe on a couple of tracks. HERE is a news article on this.

Leaving the Warmth of the Womb was basically a Montrose recording and it was a cool tune, I could certainly get behind an albums worth of music like that.

Montrose rocks, plain and simple. George Lynch did a pretty cool cover of Space Station #5 a couple years back. Would love to hear him and Sam rip that song up live.

Kelly Keeling NAILED that old Sammy sound on that track. Good cover.

There was going to be the rumored Montrose reunion tour this summer. I was disappointed when we learned it wasn't going to happen.

A new Ronnie Montrose album sounds cool, but I would like to see a new, full-blown Montrose album.

Montrose were awesome. Here's a couple of threads from the past regarding the band:
