    Fun fact between Sammy being in Montrose and Van Halen, he was doing his solo work and lived out on a ranch. He was auditioning a bass player who didn't need to bring an amp as one was provided. The bass player was a girl and Sammy said when she rolled up on a motorcycle with her bass/gig/bag strapped on her back, "I hired her on the spot".

    The drum lick in "Rock Candy" from this same album will knock your socks off. Ronnie Montrose' best guitar lick is "Town Without Pity". Sammy Hagar (who later sang for Van Halen) was no longer with the band for that one. I listened to a dude sing "Make it Last" from this album in a Karaoke Bar. It floored everyone in the joint. Jaw dropping good.

    It's a slide doing the motor sound. That's a glass, metal or ceramic tube worn on the finger that you slide up and down the strings (rather than pressing them down with your fingers). People have also used beer or pop bottles, glass medicine bottles, socket wrenches, or pretty much anything that will slide on the strings, but normally it's a tube worn on a finger made especially for that.
    You've heard a bunch of slide guitar. Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers is famous for it.

    Montrose always pushed passed the limit on guitar tone. Their debut album rocks really hard -- "Rock the Nation", "Bad Motor Scooter", "Space Station #5", "Rock Candy" -- Check out some of those when you're ready for more from them. Also check out Sammy Hagar "Plain Jane" and "I've Done Everything for You" from 1979. And for something different, check out his 1977 cover of the Patti Smith classic "Free Money".

    Montrose was a pre-supergroup. Late Ronnie Montrose on lead guitar. 🎸Denny Carmassi on drums. 🥁 Sammy Hagar on lead vocals and rhythm guitar 🎸
    The next year, Alan Gerald was on bass guitar and keyboards.
    Why pre-supergroup? Sammy was the first member to leave; he went solo. Denny left to join Heart ❤ Alan left to form Night Ranger.

    It's guitar and a glass or metal finger slide, combined with amplifier effects like distortion. That's Sammy Hagar on vocals, of solo and Van Halen fame. Used to watch a young Jake E. Lee perform a cover of this song when I was a kid, and he would use a Jack Daniel's bottle for a slide. He went on to play for Ozzy.

    It's a guitar you can count on that because we're talkin early seventies I know what the guitar because I'm 60 years old and I had that album also see Montrose and concert back then. Another example would be the sound of the bird at the beginning and another spot during Freebird where Gary rossington does it on the guitar oh, the bird sound and then the whistle. Another really really good Mantra song is called rock candy check that out I'm sure you'll love it

      Thanks Bill, for sharing your insight and actual correct information with them. They actually did do Rock Candy about 3 months back. So this was only the 2nd Montrose song they've done, so we still got Coming Home, Space Station, Got The Fire, Rock The Nations etc., to push for. Try to make more live streams, we can use some more people in there who know real music. Peace ☮️

  • @grandwazoodebris1015
    @grandwazoodebris1015 2 года назад

    Motor scooter noise is done w/ a slide on a regular electric guitar, with lots of distortion. Ronnie Montrose was great, played on some Van Morrison and Edgar Winter songs (think Frankenstein & Free Ride, but someone will correct if wrong) before forming his own band. Ted Templeman I think produced this, the strange guitar all in one channel sound. Interesting, because he did same thing with Eddie Van Halen a few years later. Other great Ronnie songs to check out are his band Gamma's song Voyager, and his solo Town Without Pity. This first Montrose solo album was a monster. Space Station #5 and Rock the Nation are other great songs (since you've done Rock Candy already)

    Members Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen lived in the San Francisco area. I've always suspected that the lyric "red bridge that arcs the bay" is the Golden Gate bridge cuz the GG bridge is actually an orange-ish red.

  • @stevedahlberg8680
    @stevedahlberg8680 2 года назад

    They're using a whammy bar. It's a little lever down by the bridge that you use with your right hand to either raise or lower the pitch of the strings. I played this album so much in high school. In fact a band I was in high school cupboard rock candy. Also when I went to see Boston and 9th grade on their second album tour, Sammy Hagar and his Red Raiders were opening and they really put on a fantastic show.

Sammy Hagar recalled when he was a solo artist in the late 70's, when Van Halen and he were on the same bill, Eddie Van Halen came to his dressing room and was so excited to meet him (David Lee Roth not so much, allegedly... 🤣)

    "well I gave it a shot and it shit back in my face... and I just quite my job makin' toothpicks out logs" oh boy.. Montrose was responsible for kickin rock and roll up several notches in the day, when this album came out it got real quickly and every rock band was scramblin like; "oh snap we can play like that? we gotta do that" and so the legend of rock and roll in the 70's was forever changed in the fall of 1973, trick er treat... :-)
    listen to anything pre 1972... NO ONE smashed it like Montrose, the album is one big trip, you listen to it entirely A to B ... trio.. Ronnie doesn't bust out an acoustic or grab a tambourine, they smash it the whole way..

  • @stevevar43
    @stevevar43 2 года назад

    from Wikipedia - The song was penned by frontman Sammy Hagar. Its introduction, a distorted electric slide guitar sound which closely emulates that of a revving motorcycle, became the defining component of the song. When the song was conceived before this guitar sound, the band and Ted Templeman were not impressed because they thought it was missing a "hook", to make it stand out. Ronnie Montrose stumbled upon it while messing with a slide and fuzz box one day in the studio. Playing his guitar in Open D tuning, Montrose improvised what became the motorcycle sound - although Templeman and engineer Donn Landee kept him going when they failed to get the recording tape rolling.
    When performed live by the original Montrose line up, Sammy Hagar would play the "motorcycle" introduction on a lap steel slide guitar.
    NOT with a whammy bar.

    Pressure is laying down magic in the studio when the clock is ticking and the bill is climbing by the second. Playing live is a lot less pressure if you're are confident about your craft and the room is full. Much harder to play to an empty room and convey something special when there is no audience to feed off of.
