Ronnie passed away on Sat 03 Mar 2012 after battling prostate cancer for the last few years. Montrose were my first introduction to Sammy Hagar who I listened to a lot before he got the Van Halen gig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk52nGxF-jc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBb_otZaflQ RIP Ronnie

In a lot of ways Montrose were a prototype for Van Halen. RIP Ronnie.

Both bands kicked off in '72, but Montrose got a record deal early whereas Van Halen built up a live audience and worked hard on the shows. Ronnie was a kind of Jimmy Page as he was a popular session man and knew the business well. Both were great bands back in the day.
