Bill "Electric" Church was recruited along with Sammy Hagar and drummer Denny Carmassi to play in Montrose. Church rejoined Sammy when he went solo for eight studio albums from Nine on a Ten Scale (1976) to VOA (1984) until Sammy left to front Van Halen. Most recently Bill reunited with Sammy and Denny Carmassi to play the music of Montrose first at a tribute to Ronnie, and then as part of the "4 Decades of Rock" show.
