I thought it was "okay."  Kind of misleading to bill it as "ex-Megadeth/Montrose members," even if it is technically true.  The "ex-Megadeth" member is Lomenzo.  Okay, he was technically the bassist credited for playing on United Abominations and Endgame.  But he has no writing credits and I don't know that he was ever more than a hired gun (not to mention the fact that he has played for something like 8,000 bands--is he truly a "member" of any of them?).  And the "ex-Montrose" member is St. John, who was the "hired gun" touring-only singer for Montrose's extremely sporadic touring from 2002 to 2011.  And the brain child behind this project is apparently the unknown guitarist, who had no connection to Megadeth or Montrose whatsoever.

But they need the names for the draw!

So..this isn't the new Sammy Hagar/Marty Friedman project?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Neither of their names are on the roster, so.. no?

Though there's little point when the music isn't related to those bands. Even Montrose rocked harder than that.
