I didn't see any kind of a tribute here, so I thought I'd start a thread to say goodbye to this baby boomer and rock guitarist.

Wikipedia has a nice entry on him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Montrose

Quite the list of who's who in the "sessions" section.

One of his famous songs here, with (yup) Sammy Hagar on vocals:

His first album "Montrose" (self-titled) is considered by many to be an essential rock guitar album of all time. i.e. "required reading" for any rock guitarist...

Bye bye Ronnie, the world of rock and roll won't be exactly the same without you.

Wow! Didn't know he passed. He was having a tough time with cancer I know but this is news.

thanks for putting this up

R.I.P. to the Ron Man. Music is sadder off without you dude.

"Rock the Nation" Ronnie, R.I.P.

Loved Rock Candy (I think that was the song).

Didn't know Montrose died,let alone in bad condition.

I am going to listen to Montrose now just to remember...
