Dear Ronnie I picked up my first guitar because of you. You were truly a diamond. You will be truly and deeply missed. With tears in my eyes I bow
my head in respect to you. My you rest in peace and may you be in the
presence of God. Goodbye Ronnie you were and will always be my inspiration.

I am always amazed at the many connections in rock! Ronnie Montrose had ties to soooooo many cool musicians and bands including our own Tesla!!! What a great guitarist. Gone way too soon…..

He only got better with age. I seen him with gamma in about 1980 in springfield il. and then 31 years later at the rib fest in st.louis in 2010 and 2011. WOW what great playing. He was great when i seen him as a teen and was better than ever the last couple years! Kenny

Just pulled it out and listened to it after a few years! He talks about a song he wrote for “City Kidd” Called “Don’t damage the Rock” Then they played “his” version! from his 1987 LP “MEAN” …I would love to hear a “TESLA” version of it!…

I remember him talking about that very thing on a broadcast of “METAL SHOP” back in the day! I actually found a copy of that show (Vinyl LP) on ebay and bought the hell out of it! I’ll try to post a mp3/wav. file of it!

I Miss him Already, was always so cool to me. Good friends with all the guys in his band. He produced TESLA’s Demo’s and is the one who got them to record a cover of “Lil Suzie”
