Sammy Hagar is sharing news that he has hooked up with his former Montrose bandmates.
“Denny [Carmassi] and Bill [Church] in town,” posted Hagar, along with a photo of the three. “We recorded some new music last week. It was amazing. We still have that Montrose chemistry. Keep ya all posted.”
Hagar has played with his Montrose bandmates in recent years.
A year ago this week (Mar 3, 2012), Ronnie Montrose died at his home in Brisbane, CA at the age of 64 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Montrose broke out with their debut in 1973, a record that featured classics like “Bad Motor Scooter,” “Rock The Nation” and “Rock Candy.”
Though the album was not a big seller upon its initial release, peaking at #133 on the U.S. Billboard chart, it eventually proved to be an international sleeper hit which over a period of several decades has sold in excess of one million copies, attaining platinum status.
