I love early Montrose.........In my mind there's nothing wrong with a lot of macho swagger when you have $&!t to back it up. Deservedly Ronnie gets the credit, with Hager not far far behind - But Carmassi on the drums and Bill (the electric) Church on bass are total ass kickin' soldiers.
I met Carmassi in the '90s when he played in Heart, and gave him a lift home in my '69 Caddy after they returned from a tour - Their drum tech's wife and my ex were good friends.
My two faves from "Paper Money" Check out Church with his Acoustic rigs and the Jazz Bass on his RIGHT shoulder!

Church/Carmassi are one of my favorite rhythm sections. It's the kind of rhythm section that just boosts up whatever guitar and vocals are happening in a song. And, Alan Fitzgerald wasn't too shabby with Carmassi on the third album, which contains my favorite song.

That live vid is still impressive today. Nice creative bass playing too.

T'aint Bill Church. Alan Fitzgerald (later of Night Ranger keyboard fame) plays bass on Paper Money. Church was a P-Bass / SVT guy IIRC.
Naturally, that reminds me of the joke about two Irish gay men - Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald. ;D

Interesting!
I wonder who's decision that was..........Hagar must have liked him tho, since he played on at least the first of his solo efforts.

Bill "Electric" Church played on a good portion of Sammy's solo stuff, including the live album. This is a long clip but it's got the Church bass solo, and I believe Fitzgerald is on keyboards here...
