Im proud to say I was a teenager listening to Montrose in the 70's along with Lynyrd Skynyrd Allman brothers, and so many other good bands. Miss the days when music was good.
2 Live Crew has more lyrical integrity....80's.....the depth and introspection of the .... Lyrical content.... A certain uncanny knack,niche approach to isolate and invoke those obscure words, emote....
This song is 100% pure unadulterated classic rock! Montrose was one of the best landing spots for Sammy Hagar! They don't make them much better than this!
I love it. Why can’t music be like this anymore? Bad Company did it too. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Just a voice, guitar, bass guitar and drum set! I just realized it was Sammy!! I’m used to the Van Halen Sammy.
I literally just discovered this tune today July 2 2021. Not sure how I missed as I am a diehard rocker from the '70s. I would have been 11 when this was released. I am now on a mission to figure a way to do this as a acoustic guitar busker with penchant for unusual song choices for street performances. Cheers
Same here. I was a 90's kid and had heard this for years on the FM radio stations, but for whatever reason I never knew much of anything about Montrose except that this featured Sammy. I just assumed this was from the 80's, because it honestly sounds like it could be. Upon finally doing some research on them last year, I was really surprised to find out that this song/album was that old...especially with me always having been interested in the early bands of heavy metal and hard rock from a young age. Rock music has been around for a good while with lots of history/stories, so you can't really know it all unless your an absolute rock history freak or something. Once in a while you learn something new and interesting.
And THAT kids, is how it's done. RIP Ronnie, thanks for helping our band when you had better things to do, and thanks for personally guiding me as a musician. 💖 You are missed dearly my friend...
I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Montrose in the mid-80s when he was playing at a venue in San Diego. Some three or four years earlier, I saw Sammy play in Casper, Wyo. I didn't get to meet Mr. Hagar but he did spit in my face. It's kind of funny because most people don't spit in my face until after they get to know me. (It was actually nothing malicious and in hindsight, I probably could have gotten beautiful ladies to pay me to lick off the spittle. Doh!)
My jaw dropped back then when I first bought their album back then and played it all the way through. I am so glad I was a child of the late 60's and 70's,Hard Rock,Heavy metal,Progressive Rock/Metal was everything a teenager could ask for and to this day that is all I listen to.
Sammy, I never gave you enough credit but at 57 and following you all my life with all your endeavors I truly appreciate and love you. Keep rocking brother !
Yeah, great lyrics hit home and this one really nails that. The very first girl I ever fooled around with was the daughter of a retired Dallas Cowboy linebacker. The only time I ever saw him was through the slats of her closet door when he came home unexpectedly early. All I can say is he looked big through the slats of that closet door. My heart was beating out of my chest while I hid in there, and then when he left I jumped out the window. I'll never forget it!!
Mainly because the masses are really unaware and just trot out the same old names of the musicians that they are familiar with. His drumming on all four Gamma albums was excellent too (especially on 'Four Horsemen').
Saw this show in the 70's and what a great show it was!! Ronnie's band was the back-up to Edgar Winter's band and they too put on a phenomenal show!!! Wish could go back in time and see the show again.
Seen MONTROSE in 75 Louisville Kentucky had bought the album just a few months earlier wore it completely out. In my first high school band of course we did MONTROSE. Will never ever forget at 63 years young I'll still grasp the old guitar neck and crank out Rock Candy❤🎸🎙
Alright question? First love it! But I heard one time that badass on the drums was the guy in journey? Steve? May be wrong we know what Sammy did. But cool to hear. Love above all!
I saw Montrose as a teenager in 1974 @ Winterland. Elvin Bishop was there too! Tickets were $10.00 dollars what a showmanship at that price! I was in awe as a kid and looking back I feel fortunate to have been there...
Saw them December 1974 Ronnie, Sammy, Bill & Denny were a band that if they would have stayed together would have been one of the top bands. The album Montrose was and still is the Best! Sad Ronnie is no longer with us. I saw them on TH-cam in San Fran celebrating Ronnie after he passed and seeing all the original members was mind boggling. Montrose lives on forever via You Tube.
No. Chicago (Chicago Transit Authority) was selling out large venues for a few years before Montrose came onto the scene. I love Montrose, but they were not "the first." In fact, Chicago were treated like Rock Gods in Europe BEFORE they made it big here in the US. Everyone thinks of Chicago as a "ballad" band. Check out some of their early live shows on TH-cam, Terry Kath is still one of the most criminally underrated guitar players on those "top 100 guitar players" lists. This is from 1970: th-cam.com/video/_oAoSZ2y1cw/w-d-xo.html
I met Ronnie Montrose at a concert. He was a cool dude! I wanted him to sign my shirt and he said that he would ruin it...LOL! Then I got his guitar pick and he signed that too.
This is when the magic happened Ronnie Montrose with Sammy Hagar Montevideo The culmination of great stuff. I really miss Ronnie Montrose I don’t think he realized how much of an impact he had on anybody who played guitar he certainly had one on me . Easily one of my favorite guitarists ever
Rest In Peace Ronnie. I will never forget the first time my boyfriend played this song back in 1980 when i was 15 years old. You were the real deal and the folks these days can't hold a candle to the talent you had!
@@ryanspencerlauderdale687 Ronnie is the one who has always been criminally underrated...not by his fellow musicians and guitarist mind you but by the public at large. Sammy is worth 50 million dollars Ronnie probably died with less than 2 million dollars in property, cash, +total assets... maybe even less than that after his three-year battle with prostate cancer.
RIP, I can still remember hearing Montrose for the first time on Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show, then saving for the LP .... seems like yesterday! The record still sounds as fresh as it did that day.
Went to watch status quo in manchester uk in early 70s. Montrose were the support group. I became a fan after one song. Ronnie and sammy were brilliant. I went to watch quo but came out a montrose fan as well.
kick ass track from montrose an underrated rock band in some ways. sammy hagar on the vocals always does kick ass. and this was live at the old grey whistle test live in england 1974. and i would say the best live music programme us brits ever had.
I used to be a DJ a few years ago and listening to the Montrose by Montrose album was fantastic, especially when volume was full volume, brill memories.
"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.
Saw these guys live in the mid 70's - Hard Driving Petal to the Metal Full on Rock & Roll! I don't know if anyone noticed, don't see it any of the comments, but the first album line up on the back of the album cover lists the lead singer as SAM Hagar, hadn't taken on the name Sammy yet :)
Straight in your face no bs rock and roll, the way it should always be played. Sammy like always bringing the vocals and Eric Montrose was one of the greats on the axe, best Montrose song hands down.
I had Montrose in my first ALBUM library but never a Van Halen album till Hagar joined. I've always been a Hagar fan. Thats how I spent my money. I like some Van Halen videos but not enough to buy a whole album or CD before Hagar.
I was lucky enough to see Montrose right after the album was released. It cost me 2 dollars to see them at the Brewery in E. Lansing Michigan. I just sat at the bar and watched them play. Sammy Haggar strutted around like he was Robert Plant. What a amazing show and the place was barely filled.
The bass is really forward in this mix. I've only heard the album version before and I got to say that the basist is absolutely tearing it up and riffing harder than Montrose. Love it!
This is soooo awesome...I've been listening to rock/guitar music for 15 years why havnt I ever heard this...wow what a find...I'm gonna try and find this album!!

The Montrose debut album is one of the best rock albums of the 1970s, all killer and no filler and this is a great performance.
i second that . a top 5 all time hard rock album . when i was in drinking / party animal era there was no other album that enhanced the times better .
one of the best ever
On my 8 track...lol
No voice overlays or enhancement, no fake music. Real men, playing rock n roll
Im proud to say I was a teenager listening to Montrose in the 70's along with Lynyrd Skynyrd Allman brothers, and so many other good bands. Miss the days when music was good.
Yup, to many good times to go along with the best music ever to name, Class of 1958

Crazy how we took that amazing musical era for granted.
@@andrewbrown2888 What???
Ditto.
Love how much faster this version is. Montrose was a bad ass rock n roll band. This album is pure gold start to finish.
Agreed, not a bad song on the whole thing
🤘😎🤘
I like to kick off every summer with Montrose I and VH 1. Hard to beat that combo
Montrose needs to be on the radio,...
@@danemartin4155 Definitely! Montrose I & Paper Money are incredible. I think that material is timeless, and more people need to hear it
I like the album version much better than the live version, but then I couldn't watch Sir Sammy ! Why can't guys these days look this good anymore?
Good to know poeple are still listening in 2024
innit
We are here 24 !

That’s what keeps us old rockers alive. Seeing this. Thank you
Kinda sweet ! As I still ride my scooter ! And still rockin at 62 yrs young ! That's good jam there !
@@timzeringue2649please be careful on your Bad Moter Scooter. Be safe out there on the roads!!!
I always thought this was an early 80's song. Just realized it was released in 1973! Talk about being ahead of your time. Killer song.
One of the best...

I was 15 when I bought this album. I'm 63 now!
I am so old I seen em 1974. Ronnie Montrose I always thought he was an unrated guitarist. Rock n Roll I would say.

the beginning of a legend, the birth of the voice of Sammy Hagar!! There really is only one way to rock and it's with Sammy freaking Hagar!!
Are you still alive

I was born in 1971 and it took me until late in high school to begin to develop my true love of those styles you listed. But better late than never.
Sammy Hagar was full of talent and great energy then, and he's still full of all of that all these years later.
Bad Motor Scooter by Montrose is one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time!Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
I agree! The great ted templeman produced this album. Greetings from Detroit!
@@rocmiller3 Aloha my Detroit friend🤙🏽
Sammy, I never gave you enough credit but at 57 and following you all my life with all your endeavors I truly appreciate and love you. Keep rocking brother !
This song just cooks. I dig the lyrics, "I'd come up to your place, but I'm afraid of your dad." Haha, that's great.

I followed MONTROSE since he played on "They Only Come Out At Night", Edgar Winter. MONTROSE debut album is an 8 song hard rock classic.
Man this band really kicked some serious ass back then!!!The bass lines are killer!!
Sounds GREAT 49 years later!!!

I was there. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!
Lucky you.
Yes, it was great! I was a young man then but I can still remember it at age 61.
if they'd have stayed together, they would have been an epic band.
Patty Jeddy this so g is too powerful for the masses , I can see why they were forced to break up by the cabal
No doubt about that but unfortunately Sammy ego wouldn't allow that
@@ronditchen6664 It wasn't Sammy, Ronnie booted Sammy out of the band. The biggest ego mistake Ronnie ever made. They were great!
They almost sound like an American Led Zeppelin on this track!
Sammy was getting the short end.
The bassist and drummer left with Sammy.
First band I ever saw! Wore this LP out...and bought another & did it all over again!
RIP Ronnie. Many many fun memories with this album!!!!!
No tattoos, no drop tunings, just guitar,bass, drums and vocals=EPIC!
Fuckin A my friend! One hundred percent pure genuine 24 karat badass! Just 4 dudes playing and singing their asses off.
I LOVE YOU!! Preach on!! So well said...
dropped d on the studio for the motorcyle parts
this performance, this vid...is so what rock n roll IS...strip it down, get rid of the stupid bullshit and ROCK...
pedraw your so right on . the good old days and rock and Roll.. Love the 60. 70 . Rock on
*To Sammy, Ronnie and the guys. Thank You for all the great music. And it was a great time growing up in America.*
No idea why Denny Carmassi is not even mentioned as one of rocks greatest drummers. The man was (is) fantastic ...
No Doubt! His kick was fantastic!
Mainly because the masses are really unaware and just trot out the same old names of the musicians that they are familiar with. His drumming on all four Gamma albums was excellent too (especially on 'Four Horsemen').
Is he kicking eighths there? Or does it just sound like it?
Yes, indeed! Tight, powerful and driving. Oh yeah, and that foot.
@@portcullis5622 Also with HEART ,and UNCLE TED
Saw this show in the 70's and what a great show it was!! Ronnie's band was the back-up to Edgar Winter's band and they too put on a phenomenal show!!! Wish could go back in time and see the show again.
Ronnie Montrose was a Killer on his Les Paul. God bless him Eternally. I miss my friend Deeply....!!!

59' burst that is
Ronnie was my idol as a kid trying to learn guitar .. Saw Gamma in Manchester about 1980..very good.. opened with Ready for Some Action
Mark Shaw Ronnie was amaz
Alright question? First love it! But I heard one time that badass on the drums was the guy in journey? Steve? May be wrong we know what Sammy did. But cool to hear. Love above all!
This was the first album I ever bought. And still one of the best rock albums ever. RIP Ronnie...
This whole damn album is brilliant
Raw but delicate sound with simple rigs & sounding like garage band, I would love hard rock to be like this again.
One of the top 25 or so albums ever released. 50 years ago and just as relevant!
Ronnie Montrose could fit into any band, he was that GREAT!!!
Just discovered Montrose. They sound amazing. Full of energy and honest. Good old Rock.
Wish there was more footage of these guys. Nobody played like this back then.

This was 42 years ago? Ronnie Montrose is a beast on that guitar. Stills sounds great over 4 decades later.

How is that possible. You high

ALL the hardrock from the late 60’s to the mid 70’s is one of my favourite periods. Particularly Montrose two first albums.
I saw them about this time opening for Spooky Tooth & Humble Pie in Clemson,SC....You talking about a rock show!!!!!
Lucky you! Missed my only chance to see the Pie in '75 when touring Street Rats.
Nobody better than Steve Marriott
Saw same show at Kiel Auditorium in 74
For all his success,
Sammy is so underrated.
wheelinthesky300 Well, having to live up to Diamond Dave doesn’t help. But Sammy is the better singer, IMHO.

There is a lineage. Roger Daltry-Sammy Hagar-David Lee Roth-Vince Neil-dozens of imitators.
@@chrisa4695 Vince Neil doesnt belong in that group IMOP he was never a great live singer
It's an important thing in life, to be underrated.
I find the riff and bass hypnotic!

Simply amazing and it still holds up today
RIP, I can still remember hearing Montrose for the first time on Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show, then saving for the LP .... seems like yesterday! The record still sounds as fresh as it did that day.
The whole debut album, Montrose (1973) was awesome. Great rock songs!!!
Top to bottom, one of the best albums ever.
Thank you Ronnie Montrose for some excellent guitar work and one of the best debut records ever released.
Saw Ronnie and the boys at Eastern Illinois University in Dec. of '74. They opened for Brownsville Station and Mountain.
The place was jumpin'....
Brownsville Station was a great band and almost unmentioned.

The best, these guys rock. Play this when you are cruising on the Sky Line Ridge Road, as an teenager.
Ronnie M and Sammy slinging that stuff! Loved seeing these guys live!
Kick ass song! This makes me want to get on my Bad Motor Scooter and Ride.
I'm many years late finding out Ronnie Montrose passed away the way he did. Came to pay my respects and listen to some badass hard rock. 🤘🏻
Bill Church thumping that bass! He was awesome on the Rematch! album with Sammy, also.
Most people have never heard of this song let alone the band. BAD ASS!
I used to be a DJ a few years ago and listening to the Montrose by Montrose album was fantastic, especially when volume was full volume, brill memories.

One of my earliest axe heroes. First album a classic. RIP Ron.

One of the best rock songs ever, it's just right!
WOW, this is freakin cool as hell. The best band Sammy was ever in.
This might be better than van Hagar but not the real Van Halen
Outstanding! I love hearing the little echoes of Montrose in Van Halen.
He still sounds just as good and doesn't look much older.
RIP Ronnie. You guys sure were one of the definitive hard rock bands, in style and sound. Not many others have done it so well.
I had Montrose in my first ALBUM library but never a Van Halen album till Hagar joined. I've always been a Hagar fan. Thats how I spent my money. I like some Van Halen videos but not enough to buy a whole album or CD before Hagar.
this totally rocks! i can remember first hearing Montrose back in the dim & distant 70's. i was blown away by Ronnie Montrose's guitar playing skill!
I saw them in San Fran. in 1974 at the Cow Palace. Sam put on quite a show. To this day I'm still a fan of Ronne.

Had a lot of good times listening to your tunes, Ronnie. Fill Heaven with beautiful guitar music!!
Great band, the most exciting "new thing" in heavy rock in the spring of 1973.
Hell yeah! That's real rock n roll people!
remember watching this on the whistle test as if it were yesterday great days for real music r.i.p ronnie your music will live forever
“I aint goin to your place, im afraid of your dad.” 🤣 that just shows up in the song out of nowhere.
r.i.p. ronnie, thanks for the jams!!...they will live on and on.
Reminds me of their '76 tour in my town. Golden Earring opened for them.
It was heaven on earth!
Saw Sammy play this in 78. Blew me away. Been a fan ( Ronny as well btw ) ever since.
Wicked performance for a TV show.
This is soooo awesome...I've been listening to rock/guitar music for 15 years why havnt I ever heard this...wow what a find...I'm gonna try and find this album!!
