RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Not sure if there is a thread about Gamma but there needs to be one.We all love Ronnie Montrose and we all love the debut "Montrose" album.But what about the first three Gamma albums? Not one bad song on either record. I know there are lots of keyboards but they are used right. These three albums need to be in all of your collection.There is a Gamma 4 album but I don't think that one is any good.Interestingly enough some Gamma reminds me of Paul Rodgers and Bad Company!Are there any Gamma fans on here? Oh and no, I'm not talking about that power metal band Gamma Ray! RIP RONNIE MONTROSE! Love, The "Razor King" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthebeam Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Gamma Fan here. I got into the group because of Davey Pattision, the lead singer, who used to sing with Robin Trower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Just listening to the second album on youtube. Awesome (besides the shitty youtube sound quality).Never heard of them before. I'll give it a second spin right now. Mayday is a killer. Love the keys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KEYBOARDS ARE AWESOME! I am a guy who absolutely hates keys. Like Bon Jovi keys. Pure SHITE. Gamma Keys rule! Rush used them with class too of course. The keyboards on some Europe albums are shite too. GAMMA RULES! I'm bummed that not many people on here like this band! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the third one Duck but there are a lot more keyboards on it. Still it is a melodic rock record. You should check it out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It was also when Foreigner was still a good band! They were touring in support of Head Games, but played a lot of their older stuff (and it was, I think, the whole original band) I actually lucked into those tickets, now that I'm thinking about it, a friend was supposed to take his girlfriend, and they broke up the week before, so he asked if I wanted to buy the ticket and go along, so I figured, why not! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fukking "HEAD GAMES" every night at a bar! Just guessing! I haven't been on a date in 20 years! I will be single for the rest of my life. Time for me to play "FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME!" HAHAHA!!

onthebeam Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 RUSHHEAD666, no Davey isn't the singer on Trower's current tour, nor does he sing on the new album. Hey here's one for you-Spooky Tooth/The Mirror. Got that back around 1976ish. Would love to get a remastered version of this album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
