You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.164.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Rock Candy'''" is a song by American [[hard rock]] band [[Montrose (band)|Montrose]], and the last song written and recorded for their [[Montrose (album)|1973 debut album]]. It was composed by all four band members. The song still gets performed on [[Sammy Hagar]]'s solo tours and even had been re-recorded as the b-side to the Hagar single "Little White Lie" by the original band. It was also included on Hagar's 2003 live release ''[[Live: Hallelujah]]''.  

The song is well known for its distinctive drum intro played by [[Denny Carmassi]]. According to [[Ronnie Montrose]] in radio interviews, the song originated from Carmassi's experimentation with alternatives to [[Led Zeppelin]] drummer [[John Bonham]]'s intro to "[[When the Levee Breaks]]".  According to Hagar,

((cquote|'Rock Candy' is like a standard for bands like [[Def Leppard]] or [[The Cult]]. Over the years, anybody who wants to jam with me wants to jam 'Rock Candy' – [[Chad Smith]], [[Joe Satriani]], [[Matt Sorum]], [[Slash (musician)|Slash]]. [[Lemmy]] from [[Motörhead]] came up to me at a show in England, and what did Lemmy say? 'Fucking Rock Candy, mate.'<ref>Hagar, Sammy. ''Red''. HarperCollins Books, 2011, p.54-55, ASIN: B0042FZVU8</ref>))

The song was featured in the 1994 movie ''[[The Stöned Age]]'', and has appeared in the U.S. television series ''[[My Name is Earl]]''. In May 2015, Hagar sang the song with [[Daryl Hall]] and Hall's band at Hagar's [[Cabo Wabo]] nightclub for an episode of ''[[Live from Daryl's House]]''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/currentep.html?ep_id=84#|title=Live From Daryl's House: This Month's Episode|website=Live From Daryl's House|accessdate=18 November 2017))</ref>

A recording of "Rock Candy" by Montrose can be heard in a helicopter shot from the 1976 version of the film [[A Star Is Born (1976 film)|''A Star is Born'']]. It was filmed at a concert put on by the producers of the film at [[Sun Devil Stadium]] at [[Arizona State University]] on March 20, 1976.<ref>((cite web|url=http://barbra-archives.com/live/70s/sun_devil_tempe_streisand.html|title=Sun Devil Stadium Concert|website=Barbra Streisand Archive|accessdate=12 July 2019))</ref>
