Montrose were essentially the first heavy American band to counterbalance the onslaught of British hard rock bands. Guitarist Ronnie Montrose began his career as a session player working for Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison and Edgar Winter, but as time went on he began to think more and more about starting his own band. Ronnie's dreams came true in 1973, when he, along with talented vocalist Sammy Hagar, organized a project named after himself. The original line-up was supplemented by bass guitarist Bill Church and drummer Denny Carmassi (in the 80s he materialized in "Heart").
