Tale of one coin with two sides. Yes it's a great rock song on the surface level, but flip it over and this song is the decaying stage of what was Hair Metal.
It makes you stop and think about the shortness of life when the people you listened too as a carefree teenager grow old and die. I wonder where my youth went.
I saw Firehouse in 1991, three weeks after I almost died in a car accident. I had to sit for the show but it was worth it. Fast forward to a few years back and I was at their concert with my younger friend. He was wearing my concert shirt from 91 because I'm too fat now, and the drummer pointed at him with a stick and gave him a curious look like "where did you get that?" He pointed at me and I saw the recognition of an original fan. He smiled and nodded his head, and I smiled back. A great memory from a great band.
Saw Firehouse with Tesla in Knoxville TN with my brother. Firehouse brought the freaking house down. Even caught a drumstick! My heart breaks knowing CJ is now gone. Thank God we still have the great songs!! Love you guys ❤!
R.I.P CJ Snare. This was such devastating news hearing about his passing. We love you so much and you’ll forever be missed. Thank you for the amazing music you left us. And your legacy will live on 🤘❤️🕊️
rest in peace. I met them when they were just signed to Epic records where some of my friends worked they actually played some acoustic songs outside the CBS BUILDING On west 52nd st in Manhattan on the plaza
Oh yeah - I would be just loving it and watching one video and thinking "what will be next" because in the 80s I loved most of the songs - this was a real feel-good song that rocked and had the pretty blonde in the video!
band formed in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1989.[1] The band reached stardom during the early 1990s with hit singles like "Don't Treat Me Bad" and "All She Wrote", as well as their signature ballads "I Live My Life for You", "Love of a Lifetime", and "When I Look Into Your Eyes". At the 1992 American Music Awards, FireHouse won the award for Best New Hard Rock/Metal Band. They were chosen over Nirvana and Alice in Chains.
i’m jealous. haven’t seen them since they played at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in the 90’s where I got a little hearing loss-CJ yells to the sound guy ‘turn it up!’ and he did and the masses parted in front of the speakers like it was Moses and the Red Sea-I moved up front-loudest band and concert I ever attended. They are awesome!
I was a teen growing up in California when i first heard this song. The memories of the good old days. Damn time flies, nearing age 50 and the memories are still so clear. What happened to this kinda music? R.I.P CJ and thanks for the music and the memories from the music.
I'm reading the comments in April 2024 and just finding out that C.J. Snare's no longer with us. I'm thankful that this video showed up in my recommendations knowing what I know now because I loved this song when I was a kid. I send my condolences to Snare's loved ones and his bandmates.
RIP CJ Snare. Your music was a veritable treasure trove for me in the 90s, carrying me through some very difficult times on the wings of heaven-sent music. 🙏
When music was fun to listen to,rather than screaming noise,to have a head on argument with a wall to,doing 80 in a 50,as you road rage. RIP CJ you and your talent will be greatly missed.
A true anthem of the late 80s early 90s glam rock! I played the shit of my CD when I bought it in 1990 and it's still on my playlist in my truck. RIP CJ Snare!
Def Leppard, firehouse, winger, and whitesnake, big tour Like in 1990! How badass of a show would that have been?! Firehouse was so underrated, loves these dudes
I think Firehouse would’ve made it bigger if they had hit the scene a few years earlier in 1988/89 when hair/glam metal & power ballads were at their peak. A shame that many of these bands got the rug pulled out from under them in late 1991 when Pearl Jam & Nirvana became video staples on MTV. Still a decent & underrated rock band.
I was 16 when this song was released. I loved being a teen in the early 90’s, these songs have so many great memories attached to them, they’ll always be my classics.
Ditto! I was also 16 when this came out. Unfortunately, grunge came out shortly after some of these bands who had amazing music in 90 /91 & music & the culture shifted, sadly. I say sadly because in hindsight most grunge bands sucked; the musicianship & talent wasn’t even close with the exception of bands like Soundgarden & STP.
Certainly better than most of what came after. It's amazing to think about how people used to complain about glam metal and, in the 70's, disco music. It's like, do you not know how much worse it can get? Clearly they could never fathom something like nu metal, pop-punk, or mumble/fap rap. Yeah hair metal had a lot of cheese and much of it was formulaic, but I'll take ANY hair band over any post-grunge, nu metal, or butt-rock band of the late 90's onward. Maybe had people known what would've come after the mainstreaming of punk killed every quality standard in the 90's, they wouldn't have been so eager to embrace it.
I dont think in history, but I do think they came out at just the wrong time where the genre was being enveloped by crap grunge. They were an awesome band, and their music lives on. Louisiana 504 area code here bobby. I think worst in history had to be Zebra.
I have to agree. This song has so many similarities to modern Rock. They undoubtedly were an inspiration, and they got overlooked from the competition. I have to listen to their LP's now.
Most underrated band in history is XYZ, as evidenced by the fact nobody knows who they are. Look up their songs "Nice Day To Die", "Souvenirs" and "What Keeps Me Loving You" for verification. That being said, Firehouse definitely rocked far above the level of appreciation they received. It's unfortunate grunge and old school rock couldn't coexist in the record label's minds. It robbed us of some serious awesomeness.
Rest in peace CJ SNARE. we are blessed to have been in the generation graced with your music and your voice and your fire. My deepest condolences to your family and to the band #firehouse.
Rest in Peace CJ Snare. I knew about his death not so long ago. I love FireHouse music since their debut album. This is the first song since that I knew FireHouse.
RIP CJ Snare you are gone but not forgotten I been a huge fan since 1990 I never seen you I love Firehouse always have and always I’m at such a loss right now WoW

You will be remembered as a legend.
Hardly a legend

It makes you stop and think about the shortness of life when the people you listened too as a carefree teenager grow old and die. I wonder where my youth went.
Truer words never spoken!
Same place mine went, right out the window bro.
Same with me…
It's the life cycle, life is short so don't take it for granted.
Well put.
CJ Snare the man has left us but CJ Snare the voice is immortal.
He’s definitely in Heaven with Freddie Mercury teaching God’s Choir how to do the high notes! God rest their souls!

RIP CJ Snare, an iconic voice that was always underrated. Cancer sucks!
I don't care what anyone says, I love this song. You can enjoy both hair metal and grunge. It doesn't have to be an either/or scenario. R.I.P. CJ
my favorite firehouse song. hits different knowing he's no longer with us. RIP CJ
My favorite song of theirs, too.
Nah
First concert I attended was Firehouse opening for Tesla May 8, 1992 at the War Memorial in Syracuse. RIP CJ.
Yes! I saw them on that tour, too! CJ signed my ripped up jean shorts 😅😢
Same Tour '92 Darien Lake

We have them playing at our concert in southern BC in August (with Warrant, Great White, Iron Maidens and more) cant wait!
These guys w trixter and warrant my first concert wasnt old enough to drive on my own
Rest well Mr. C.J. Snare, we'll miss that voice. 1959-2024.
rest in peace. I met them when they were just signed to Epic records where some of my friends worked they actually played some acoustic songs outside the CBS BUILDING On west 52nd st in Manhattan on the plaza
Back when MTV was worth watching when they actually played music and real music videos.
Oh yeah - I would be just loving it and watching one video and thinking "what will be next" because in the 80s I loved most of the songs - this was a real feel-good song that rocked and had the pretty blonde in the video!
Noah McIver I wish I was born when this was a reality
Nobody now-a-days realize that the M on M-tv meant MUSIC! Im going to see them in concert tonight as they open for Warrant! Gonna be a great night.
When? Stop lying! 🤣
Miss good old MTV and I probably played this song a million times lol
Who else is listening to old songs randomly?
Yo!!
Me
not randomly, this music is the only music worth listening to
hell yes 80's rock
Me
Greatest singer I ever saw. RIP CJ Snare :(
I feel like somebody punched me in the gut. I am so upset. Rest easy, CJ. Love you.
R.I.P. CJ Snare! What a voice!
Rip Champ! You’re top 5 on the mic. Peace !!

I saw them when they were still known as White Heat.
U never knew that. Thats awesome considering how much hair metal was struggling.
actually the band formed in various line ups in the 80s, first got signed in 1989
They beat out Alice in Chains ? They're not that good lol
although nirvana and aic were grunge rock! not real rock! good bands as well but not the traditional rock sound like firehouse gave us.
I was lucky enough to see Firehouse perform on a triple bill with Trixter and Warrant back in the '90s. Now both Jani and CJ are gone. RIP:(
Nobody like CJ Snare performed beautiful ballads in the world of metal, a wonderful voice. R.I.P.
I'm 20 years old, I work as a bartender and my boss recently started to play this everyday and I'm obsessed with it 😭😍😍😍😍
Tell him to play these too: Def Leppard, Poison, Van Halen, Ratt, Scorpions and Guns N' Roses.
You're awesome! Where is this bar?
Brotha i respect bartenders i was one in the 90s i no
Tell your boss to play THE OUTFIELD, NIGHT RANGER, WARRENT
The ROMANTICS
Just saw Firehouse yesterday July 07, 2022. They rocked it like it was 30 years ago. C J's voice is still amazing.
Love it I'm going to see them later on today!!!!
Just saw them August 5. They still rock as much as ever
i’m jealous. haven’t seen them since they played at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in the 90’s where I got a little hearing loss-CJ yells to the sound guy ‘turn it up!’ and he did and the masses parted in front of the speakers like it was Moses and the Red Sea-I moved up front-loudest band and concert I ever attended. They are awesome!
Saw them in 2008 C.J. Snare was going through a rough patch with his voice. Skipped the high parts.
Stay out of my yard though!!!
RIP CJ Snare , may God bless and console his family & friends during this difficult time.

RIP CJ you and your talent will be greatly missed.
If you weren't a teenager back then u totally missed out on something special
Ok then I missed out
Will it come back?
This was my high school years. CO 94
I will forever be jealous that you attended concerts with no cell phones
Try even being in a band in the most amazing time to be young...It was amazing..
Yes, Rip CJ..Im just 2 yrs younger than you.. We played this in our band but our vocalist wasnt even close to your range.. RIP..CJ Snare..
Love you C.J. Snare always in my heart ❤️ God bless Firehouse 🇺🇲❤️✝️⚾
I am lucky I got to meet this Band 1997 I still have the T Shirt in the closet Awesome Band ....R.I.P CJ
Saw them live a few months ago. His voice is still perfectly intact.
I would love to see a hair band showcase concert
It wasn’t even perfectly intact back then.
Stay out of my wife's Vargina though!!!
You will never be forgotten I still listen to Firehouse music
Graduated in 1990. From like 87 to 93 were the funnest, wildest years of my life! Any song from that era hold a memory
I graduated in '87. I agree!!!!
Condolences to his friends and family!
RIP was one of the great bands of the 90's love you man ❤❤😢

A shame that many of these bands got the rug pulled out from under them in late 1991 when Pearl Jam & Nirvana became video staples on MTV. Still a decent & underrated rock band.
Yeah they came at the tail end of the hair metal era in 1990-91 when it was already winding down. This would've blown up in 87-88 probably
Agreed...obviously they could write them and play them, just sounded a little out-of-step with the times
No doubt
I can tolerate Pearl Jam, but Nirvana just does nothing for me.
RIP CJ ,thank you for the great music,and great memories 😞
FIREHOUSE is an great band. I LOVE The '80s. God give me back that super decade... Decade of Guitars, feeling, good songs, lovely music !
so agree
just fuck off the present 21st schizoid life-style etc
you dont need to life in 80s u can still enjoy the music, rock never dies
These are the Nineties.

Firehouse is so under rated, I wish more people in our generation were more interested in this genre of music - someone born after the 19 hundreds
1994 baby here, so true
Back in the days when music was really good! :)
True that. Not hard for people to bring it back.
I agree 100%
Back when bands actually played instruments. Not computer auto tuned music.
Right?! Anybody who says 80's music wasn't good, wasn't there. Period.
Certainly better than most of what came after. It's amazing to think about how people used to complain about glam metal and, in the 70's, disco music. It's like, do you not know how much worse it can get? Clearly they could never fathom something like nu metal, pop-punk, or mumble/fap rap.

Great tune!! Firehouse didn't get enough recognition but they have a unique sound and catchy lyrics!!
I agree... better than poison and motley ironically
Rest in peace CJ! Firehouse music lives on!!
This was the most underrated song of the Hair. Band era.
If you weren't a teenager in the 80's you really missed out
Dang great area im still 80s lady this crap they call music today this is real music glad i grew up with these great musicians
@Reality Bytes Fake ID. An exacto knife and some tape and a 17 year old became 22. LOL
I am 12 and my favorite era was the 80s I liked there music and movies plus the music is not fake like todays music
Well, I am a teenager now, I’m 18 years old and I’m really enjoying this band, as well as other bands from that period. They were awesome.
You're probably too old by now😁
CJ was a great singer and front man for Firehouse. I have always liked their music. Rest In Peace CJ.
TAKE ME BACK TO THE 80'S
I hope peacemaker makes this band blow up, they’re awesome lol
Nope, but he made them relevant
I wish firehouse would come out with new music
You mean blow up AGAIN. Firehouse was already big back in the day.
Peacemaker made me come here... Thanks James Gunn.

Well 5 yrs later I hope that's still true
This song seems to be about being in an interaction -- "relationship" is the wrong word -- with a narcissist.
Yup.....😖
