[ivanosoff]

esta es la linea de heavy maricones

[VerruVerru2806]

Perfect song, I love melodic rock songs, you do not somebody please lyrics to this one song? Thanks a lot.

[sagtaz]

Ive got 3 songs I recorded early 80's off the Friday night rock show bbc are these the same band I think one was called on the run.

[yourgasm]

Its a real pity this band never released an album. Wish they did

[BBQkrewe]

VERY impressive!

[yourgasm]

Why didnt they release an album? Its so hard to get this song or their albums

[victimoftemptation]

Oh please bring back the 80s.....I miss the music of those times...Endless classics 

[TheCarloskeyboards]

COLOMBIA rock and roll forever HHHHHHPPPPPPPP LARGA VIDA AL MELODIC ROCK Y AL HEMOSISIMO AOR LARGA VIDA ...............

[TheJestersTear69]

Yeah i remember you guys , i used to roadie for ya on and off, good times :D

[kieranofkasac]

michael bruce is my friend's dad

im officialy creeped out

[thesimonmcg]

Ah yes. I remember Garrison well, or was it Mean Streak and then back to Garrison. The thing I remember most about Garrison, though, was they always sounded better from the other side of the road from where they were playing because the PA was just way too loud! Oh, and icemaiden56, you must remember me! I think I only missed two nights at the Crown in Thornton. Those were the days, Garrison, Dagaband, Gypsies Kiss, Chaser, Tredegar and my favourites were Rough Justice!

[icemaiden56]

@thesimonmcg

Oh those memories!! Andy Wylie on the PA, dare I mention Tysondog and their gig, that was some night!! I have photos of Tredegar still in my posession. They blew us away!!! Those nights at Thornton were nights to never be forgotten and mr?( more clues), and the others made us true female rockers more than welcome, and accepted us into the circle of head bangers. The adrenalin flowed free!! Garrison came down to join us all on the floorafter gigs.Keep Rockin.' r u on facebook?

[icemaiden56]

Flippin heck!! A blast from the past. The nights we had rockin the night away with you.

St Clairs Tavern and Oh the joys of Thornton! Doctor Doctor was always my favourite done by you, a great finale to your gigs! A magic time when we were two of the few REAL Female Rockers! Hows tricks anyway??? All the best and KEEP ROCKIN' !!

[63RockChick]

I know these guys! Used to go to lots of their gigs, they were ace!

[tankbuster117]

i really wish this was on an officially-released CD. the world needs to know how awesome Garrison is, especially this song.

[GodHatesMeMost]

If I remember correctly, these guys did a session for Tommy Vance's (RIP) Friday Rock Show...?

[racerxgtpro]

THE REAL DEAL here, i still have all the original demos mike sent me, along with the press kit. man i wished a studio cut album could have happened. my cd of garrison i play for everbody i meet, and they react the same: "are you serious", and kick ass band. yeah man. thnx for posting, i have my vid still, and the 20 demos.garrison fan 4 life.

You never heard of Garrison before before they never release an official record.

Well, the Garrison band get together again to record some tracks. There is good music coming.

[deMingaux]

Alex - did you guys release a song called "falling" circa 1982? sure Tommy Vance played it. whatever else you do, you have to get that song out there again or at least say where I can get hold of a copy! good luck - the world needs good hair metal these days!

[shawn6984]

never heard this before and gotta say its pretty damn good......something to headbang to!

[davcea]

Hey Folks

Alex Here, just a quick update, the 2 tracks are nearly completed music wise and we will then work on vocals and mixes after that, sounding pretty damn good fr a bunch of oldies hahaha, hope to have them finished real soon.

Take Care

Alex (Bass Player Garrison)

[Thetoughestweight1]

[dokken87]

to you-WillbaDissidente- the one who added this song-

i liked very much the song ! great melodic hard rock style ,

and i was impressed by your apritiation and adoration to that band!

and - by your taste as well

hope for you to be in touch with this good style of rock in the future

[metalmessiah71]

This music kicks ass! I hope it sees the light of day! I'll get it!!!! Rock on!!!!!

[alexburrell]

Hello folks, Alex here (former bass player Garrison)

These tracks are not availible anywahere as they were never released, all the band had were some tape recordings which are either long gone or so badly damaged that they are unlistenable.

However after the reaction the band has had on here myself, Tony Mitchell (lead singer) and Mike Bruce (Keyboards Gtr) have started recording a couple of tracks, it may be a while until they are done with work comitments but we will keep you posted.

Alex

[panzerfaust1974]

I hope you'll give a hit with your recordings - the sound is great!!

[alexburrell]

Thanks, we will do a post on here when we have tracks done, I would think it will link to a myspace where people can go over and have a listen and a little info on how the band started and ended.

Thanks

Alex

[RhoadsVaiSambora]

This is one of the great things about Youtube, it's brings music to people who normally would never have discovered it. Where in the UK were you guys based? I'm from the North-East. I actually have an mp3 file featuring a whole bunch of your demo's. They're pretty good quality to be honest. I can send them to you if you'd like a trip down memory lane? Also, can't wait for to new recordings... good luck.

Kris

[gurujohn64]

It is so nice to see a musician who is interested in the fans. I first heard of you guys when i spent some time in europe and am so glad I found this post. I figured I would never hear about you all again but I was wrong and am glad i was. Keep up the great work and thank you for your contribution to rock and roll !

[ReMldr]

Great to find this havet heard from you since the 80's. I'm pretty sure you hade a track in a compilation i own "Rock The Nations" (double record - vinyl). Correct me if i am wrong. Unfortunately my turntable is broken. But as soon i fix it i intend to transfer everything (including yours) to mp3 format. Than i will make some vids and post them on you tube. Thx for your contribution to the genre i love. So underestimated :(

[gtrefghuk]

Rock on! Keep the great music coming.

[adastrauk]

@alexburrell Fuck aye! 'mon the Garrison

[MsSusiesalmon]

@alexburrell Hello Alex-I'm a bit late tuning in to your thread here- but just wondering if the tracks you mentioned ever came to anything? Having listened to the 3 tracks available on Youtube I'm totally amazed you never made the 'big-time' in the late 80s. Are you or any other members of Garrison now playing in other bands-and if so, can I maybe find you on Myspace music?

[iamajibber]

@alexburrell god you had badass hair haha

[TheAlejandropc39]

Nunca los había oído. Suenan bien.

[jesusisagay]

my old guitar teacher was in that band

[ZOrdZ]

Great Rock. Good Guitar, Great volcals...

[tigertailz73]

applause from france ! you rock with intelligency ! really cool song !

[alexburrell]

Hey Deek/Mike/Tony

I put the spandex back on the other night hahaha they still fit like a dream, just a lot wider MINTED :)

[mb910799]

and I bet you enjoyed it !

Mike

[kaalee100]

As a long time fan of SHY I appreciate all brilliant AOR/ Melodic Rock. Thanx for sharing this gem.

[smacona]

I heard Lemmy from motorhead fancied the drummer after mistaking him for a bird!

[gtrefghuk]

Huh? I want to hear more.

[zzindy72]

demasiado blando para mi roza elpaselismo total

[JadedPoodle]

Nossa! essa banda e demais! me arrepio toda!

[opperrocker]

With my eyes closed I could have sworn this was Tobruk with Snake (RIP)

[emjoi665]

Glorious melodic rock! Another AOR gem uncovered by YouTube!

To Mike, Derek and all involved, maximum appreciation and greetings from Australia!

[padme1969]

This song is a perfect blend of AOR/melodic rock. Garrison should release their music. I'd buy it for sure!

[scenekidacide]

how did these guys not get sign to a major record deal? and shitty jonas fags are making millions putting out crappy records!

[deekthereek1]

Just found this video on pc. Im Derek Lindsay the drummer. God wot great memories this brings back. We had great times back then. great band, great songs.

[mb910799]

Hey Deek... good to see you have found this. I have seen Tony recently (doing some printing work for him) Need to arrange a beer or something.

Mike Bruce

[GIOTA578]

[Live2RockU]

Great song! These guys need to officially release their demos, the 80's market is alive and kickin'!!!

[mb910799]

Thanks for the comments. I am the keyboard player ... Mike. If you want some more demo recording send me your email address and I will send some mp3 files.

[pedrooo009]

[miguelandressalas]

thx!!! I didn't know this band

[jumituss]

"im only 17..." wtf does the age count here? This stuff was written for teen agers.

[TR689]

Yeah I hear ya, but na I said that just coz most people my age listen to some rap crap or death metal. Thats all man. Haha.

[SEAHAGS76]

[AlexGlamer]

[daggreen]

If this is the same band that supported Dare on their 1989 Out of the Silence tour, they have the honour of being the first ever rock band I had seen live. I remember the very first chord blowing me away, the volume and atmosphere was incredible....they were fantastic and Dare were out of this world - from this point on I was hooked on rock music....great memories!

[alexburrell]

Yes it was the same band, i was the bass player, thanks for the comment, its a pitty nothing like you tube was about in them days

Alex Burrell

[dinkus68]

Just wondering if there would ever be a re-release of these demos ? Retrospect or some other indie label could remaster these great songs. I'd buy it in an instant.

[ttr0Oper]
