One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE songs of all time! I listen to it still today...all the time. Gerry you are gone too soon. I feel so sad. My sincere condolences go out to his family and to his bandmates. Your fans will be heartbroken and you have so many!!! 💗💗💗💗
I bought tickets for a show by Brighton Rock in 1991. Drove from NY to Canada to see them expecting the show to be in an arena. I couldn’t believe they were playing a tiny bar. Totally shocked that they weren’t huge in Canada. Met the whole band. All great guys. And they played an incredible set.
I agree. Take A Deep Breath should have been a worldwide million seller. Very underrated band with great songs, chops, and an unbeatable voice in Gerald McGhee.
They absolutely are legends. I'm glad we both share one of our favorite rock albums. If you like this check out Paul Laine - Stick it in your ear. Canadian classics. keep the spirit alive !
I love this band SOOOO much!!! And when I wear the the Brighton Rock tee I bought on-line a year ago, I make sure I educate everyone who asks how fantastically talented this band from Ontario is! 💗 My daughter took 2 years of fashion at school in Toronto, I said to her ' Ooooh you BETTER KNOW then who Monika is then or I'll kick yr a**!! 😉👍👍💓
This is one of the best songs about a painful breakup ever, but it remains hopeful "Just Forgive And Forget Cos It's Not Over Yet." I have loved this song for many years now, but at the time I never heard Brighton Rock. In America they were largely unnoticed an unfortunately and shamefully common scenario for Canadian bands. Brighton Rock are real. This is a really classic song and their albums are brilliant and have some great lyrics from Gerald McGhee
Even 25+ years after listening to Brighton Rock, it still ROCKS! I just thought of them and looked them up here. Still amazing as back when this was brand new. Such a shame that they didn't get the breakout that they deserved.
Brighton Rock were promoted big time in Canada and appeared on cbc video hits and Much Music .They had top 40 hits in Canada and played the Canadian club circuit. In Canada they received pretty good radio airplay but in usa, Europe and Asia it was a different story though they toured there they did not receive promotion or press hence they are another Canadian band well known in Canada only .
Some of best times of my life had this album as the background soundtrack...blasting Brighton Rock on my 800.00 (lol) Alpine CD player...driving around in my gun metal Toyota SR5 4x4. Thanks for the great music guys!
After a crazy breakup, I asked for one more try…. I couldn’t understand the things she did to me because they were not right. This song really hits. Especially when she came back, asking for that another try, but I just did not have it in me. Thanks Mark
Can't believe this is on RUclips! Holy Cow. I met these guys when they were signing autographs at a record store in Sydney NS. I still have the photos. I remember being all mad at the time because I coudln't go see them play. They were playing at a bar and I wasn't old enough to go. lol. I did get to meet them anyway. I remember the one guy (I think he's the bass player) with the BIG hair was just a complete sweetheart.
I remember growing up in the 80s, working one late night at Fortinos in Hamilton getting myself through school , and these guys run full speed into Fortinos as we are getting ready to lock the doors. They had their signature wardrobe on as they were just done a concert in Hamilton that I couldn't go to. They had just released their Young Wild and Free album which I still have. I'm telling you it was absolutely surreal to see these guys running down an isle laughing and goofing around as they were asking me where we kept the ice "but like a shit ton of it" . They were all super friendly and nice . As I walked up to the front Mark wearing his signature cartoon pants, the same ones on the album cover and Greg both thanked me again for not locking them out lol. Sounds silly but that moment stuck with me my whole life. I didn't even get to see what they rolled up in, they wee gone in an instant.
no me puedo sacar esta cancion de la cabeza!!! es simplemente perfecta llevo mucho tiempo escuchandola y aun me gusta como la primera ves que la escuche
Holy crap, I can't believe I found this. I had this album on tape in I think '89. Bands like this would still be kickin' ass if it wasn't for the records companies promoting grunge in the 90's.
Thats awesome and congrats from Scotland! Thats kool to be able to see your unc in a video like a rock star! 😎😁 Gerry McGhee is such a Scottish name, love it lol
Gerry was such an unbelievable singer. Oddly, had he been from the USA, he likely would have made it huge. It's so hard for Canadian bands, especially back in the 80s. Brighton Rock was a great band. I saw them open for BTO on St. Joseph Island, Ontario, 1990. They were ten times better than BTO. Side note - I just happened to be at the local gas station / store a couple hours before the show and the band was there getting gas and ice cream... travelling in a shitty old station wagon. That explains what I said in the above paragraph. Sad, but true.
These guys made alot of good songs.Can.t understand why they did not make it bigger than they did.I am a drummer and i a happy to cover some of there songs.
I played in a band with "Carkie" just before Brighton Rock was formed. Next time you see your uncle Markie, tell him that "Farogandy" says he's still: "Markie...Goddess of Love". Betcha he laughs. Say hi to Uncle Perry & your dad for me too. Uncle Perry & I went to grade school together. Many hours were spent listening to records at your granddad's house back in the 70's.
@DannyelBonJovi The bands of today don't hold a candle to the bands of the 70's and 80's!! Like our parents said that the 50's and 60's were a special time for music, well so was the 70's and 80's for anyone who was born in the early 70's like myself!
Hey this is my cousin's old band! Haven't heard what Gerald is up to now. I did hang with his nephew David a few years ago though. Brighton Rock is still loved in Louisiana!

I couldn't agree with you more Mournblade 77.Who cares even if it was taken from a Queen song? Stumbled across these the other day.This is a good song ,so much so that I've just ordered the album.
Another sad loss in the world of Rock.A very underrated singer R.I.P
Brighton Rock sure rocked. Gerry had a fantastic voice and the band was killer. Brings me back to some great times! ❤️
Criminally underrated singer and band. RIP Gerry :(
One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE songs of all time! I listen to it still today...all the time.
Gerry you are gone too soon. I feel so sad. My sincere condolences go out to his family and to his bandmates. Your fans will be heartbroken and you have so many!!! 💗💗💗💗
I met the sister of the keyboardist of this band. She couldn't be more proud of her brother.

This is the purest definition of an “underrated band”!!!!
80's metal will last forever!!!!
After a crazy breakup, I asked for one more try…. I couldn’t understand the things she did to me because they were not right.
This song really hits. Especially when she came back, asking for that another try, but I just did not have it in me.
Thanks Mark
Only just found out Gerry has passed, another great from 80s rock taken far too soon, gutted ain’t the word! RIP my friend.
A huge plus to Canadian music...
Great song by a great band from Canada. Gerald McGhee has an incredible voice.
Benjamin Blake Mitchner totally agree
Damn right!!!!! 😀👍👍💗
Yes..... good old Gerald. Only his friends called him Jerry
I love this band, they got great songs and the lead singer Gerald has a real cool voice that fits right in through all their melodies
R.I.P. Gerry McGhee :(

Awesome Band
Súper buena canción

Loved growing up listening to you guys. Recognized you right away Gerry at your work place.
Love it if you did a tour or a benefit. Rock On!!

Hartmut Sattler good music hell yes I'm the ultimate hair metal nut
RIP Gerry McGhee
Rest In Peace, Gerry. You were a diamond in the rough.
R.I.P. Gerry. :(
Great tune from Greg / Gerald and the boys. music should still sound like this..
Best music in the world comes from England! This band, whom I know personally is from Canada! Blueline, Mark is a friend of mine as well as the rest!
Best album by them.
Monica Mason got the first album on cd good album too
yes great band ,again another great candian band
I met them in 1987 they were so sweet .
If this had come out 3 years earlier...Great band at the end of a genre
the photogragher omg drop dead gorgeous. uff da

+M C all of 17 in 1988 she was.
I believe Monica Shcnarre was the youngest supermodel ever.
I think she’s aged beautifully ..

RIP Gerry.
if released 2 years earlier this could have ruled the world............

MAIS UMA VEZ
Como posso entender?
Todas essas coisas que você faz comigo
Quando eu simplesmente não acho que esteja certo
Quando eu olho nos seus olhos
Eu tenho que fugir deles
Porque eu simplesmente não posso ganhar essa luta, não
Ooh, não consigo te alcançar
Mas você vai ouvir
O que eu tenho que dizer
Mais uma vez
Apenas perdoe e esqueça
Porque ainda não acabou, oh
Mais uma vez
Apenas não jogue fora o amor
Diga-me que não quis dizer
Todas essas coisas que você me disse
Falou sua mente, mas não seu coração
Quando estava tudo bem
Eu te segurava ao ver você cair
Você sabe o quanto eu me importava
Sim, vou ter que encarar isso
Porque eu continuo segurando
Por algo que não está aqui
Mais uma vez
Apenas perdoe e esqueça
Porque ainda não acabou, oh
Mais uma vez
Apenas não jogue fora o amor
(Solo)
Mesmo nas noites mais sombrias
Eu te segurei ao meu lado
É fácil quando tentamos
É tão difícil se controlar por dentro
Quero contar a todos
Não tenho mais nada a esconder, oh
Sim, não me faça odiar você
Desde que você deu uma patada
De tantas maneiras, sim
Mais uma vez
Apenas perdoe e esqueça
Porque ainda não acabou, oh
Mais uma vez
Apenas não jogue fora o amor
Mais uma vez
Apenas perdoe e esqueça
Porque ainda não acabou, oh, oh
Mais uma vez
Não afaste o amor
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Uau
Mais uma vez
Não afaste o amor
RIP GERRY!
it took me 28 years to be able to sing it!!! lol!!!
These guys kicked Ass at firefest last week - great guys to
