“Color Blind” feat. Sammy Hagar and Steve Lukather as part of Ronnie Montrose: 10×10

This song was the first one Ronnie and I ever did where he came to me with something he had the musical ideas for first. I heard it and I said, 'Yeah, I like that one — let me work up something for that.' I don’t know why the racial thing came up at the time — maybe there was something going on in the news. I can’t remember what pulled those lyrics out of me, but I love them a lot. They’re relevant lyrics forever. That song has a statement to it… It’s valuable to have 10×10 be seen as Ronnie’s last work, rather than going and digging up some stuff from his past. This was something he truly had a vision for.

Legendary Guitarist’s Final Album Features A Different Guitarist And Vocalist On Every Track, With Performances By Joe Bonamassa, Phil Collen, Rick Derringer, Sammy Hagar, Glenn Hughes, Brad Whitford, Edgar Winter, And More

 

LOS ANGELES – Before his untimely death in 2012, renowned American rock guitarist Ronnie Montrose began recording an ambitious passion project with bassist Ricky Phillips (Styx, Bad English) and drummer Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper). The idea was to record 10 songs with 10 different singers and call the album 10X10. Sadly, Ronnie was unable to see the album through during his lifetime.

On September 29, Rhino will release 10×10 on 180-gram vinyl, CD and digitally. The album features inspired pairings, like Deep Purple singer Glenn Hughes with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen (“Still Singin’ With The Band”) and Sammy with Toto guitarist Steve Lukather (“Color Blind”). Legendary blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa also showcases his guitar talents on the track “The Kingdom’s Come Undone” with Ricky Phillips on vocals. A few artists both sing and play, like Edgar Winter (“Love Is An Art”) and Tommy Shaw (“Strong Enough”). Sammy got his start singing with Montrose. More than 40 years later, he was among the first who agreed to help finish Ronnie’s final album.

Last Night’s Dine for a Cause event at El Paseo was a Huge Success

The Dine For A Cause dinner last night was a huge success! El Paseo in Mill Valley was at full capacity all night.  Kari and I want to thank all the people that supported Dine For A Cause last night (which benefitted Ambassadors Of Hope And Opportunity) for working together with us to help homeless teens! As always The Hagar family foundation will match the funds from the restaurant which should go a long way to help kids in Marin

Fun w/ Adam Levine and Rock & Roll Road Trip Season 2

We just filmed the final episode of Season 2 of Rock & Roll Road Trip and it went really well – the interview with Adam Levine and his car was very up close and personal, then later at the studio where Maroon 5 is recording we did some more interview and a performance of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. Richie Sambora and Orianthi popped in for a surprise guest jam on the song, very cool! I got to say these shows keep getting better and better I can't wait to see the finished product from this one!

Webmaster note: Season 2 of Rock & Roll Road Trip continues every Sunday night through August, starting tomorrow only on AXSTV!
