If you've never got into Montrose, get "Rock the Nation" - it's AWESOME, with a capital AWESOME!

Almost prog

Almost? Nowhere near it. Just good, no bullsh*t American hard rock.

How about "Space Station #5" or "Bad Motor Scooter"? Nearer prog than Uriah Heep, I would humbly suggest.

"Space Station #5," certainly nearer! My favorite Montrose track, I think.

You are right, he was limited. However, he could have done whatever he wanted and that's the part that never really made sense. He said if he made a solo album, no one would understand it. Too bad, because some of us in this forum may have understood it. Is it fear of failure or non-acceptance from the masses? He was a kid when Van Halen really launched and his producers basically told him what he HAD to do. After he became a mega-rock star he could have funded his own project and damn the business men.

What is and what shall never be.  

imagine if the Star Fleet Project had taken off...instead of just a few throwaway songs...

picture Brian May and EVH on a guitar-fueled instrumental prog journey!

Van Halen is THE hard rock band of the late 70's and early 80's!

After Lee Roth's departure, the decline automatically started!
