CJ died on the same date as Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley... Kurt and Layne were singers of iconic grunge bands Firehouse beat in American Music Awards in 1992
When I heard about CJ Snare's passing, I went numb and couldn't leave a comment until now. I loved his voice so very much. Firehouse is one of my favorite bands, being an 80s kids and I had so much love for the "hair bands" back then. I can listen to their songs over and over again without getting tired of hearing them. RIP CJ; Thank God music lives on, even when musicians pass away.
CJ is a great person, Singer, and soul. What a wonderful voice this man had and also a great performer. He sounded the same live as he did on the albums. You will be missed, and NEVER forgotten. The angels in heaven will rejoice with your voice.
Another great artist gone too soon. Went to see them three times a great band unbelievable never ever thought this could happen. Rest in peace, CJ you’ll be dearly missed for sure❤️
Wow, thank you for covering this! I grew up with Firehouse, and many, if not all, of their incredible ballads are burned into my adolescence and have preserved into my adulthood now as a positive influence and experience... so much heart in those songs and in that voice! I can't believe he is gone... Too soon. Rest in Peace CJ 💚 Your music will live on in our hearts forever💖
I'm just gutted. I've literally been crying off and on since learning of this Sunday. He was my all time favorite vocalist. I also met him for the first time in 1991 on tour with Trixter/Warrant. He was the sweetest person. The entire band are just sweethearts. I'm so sad for them. Plus my father died of colon cancer so I know what he went through, also with the surgeries. They are brutal. Can't believe he was up there singing like nothing was wrong after his first surgery. What an amazing spirit with amazing talent. Thank you for covering this.
Wow..yet another musician I actually knew that Im saying goodbye to. Im from the Charlotte area, so I knew them from Maxx Warrior, White Heat, and then Firehouse. One of my friends dated CJ, so he was always over. I had 79 Z28 that he loved and would always drive around. I did 4 MOR cruises, and they were on there. We were both scuba divers and talked about diving. He remained the same guy who drove my Z even after they became huge. RIP CJ.
Really sad with this news about CJ, I love singing Firehouse hits in karaoke and even learned the solos and chords of "Love of a lifetime", "I live my life for You" and "When I look into your Eyes". Your legacy will continue, my friend CJ, will always play your songs. Firehouse played memorable soundtracks as time posts in our lives. 🙏
I’m so sad about this loss. I absolutely loved C.J. and Firehouse and I was never expecting this due to the fact that he was still really young. I was hoping they would release a new album after not having released in more than 20 years but that chance has been lost now. In my opinion, he was one of the most underrated vocalists out there and had an incredible ability to sing. Glad I was able to see him live three times before his passing and glad I still have my Firehouse photograph signed by CJ and the rest of the band. RIP CJ 😢💔
I saw Firehouse open for Poison back in the early 1990s. Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen. To this day I am still a huge Firehouse fan. CJ, you will be missed.
Omg this is horrible news I'm literally crying I've been a fan of firehouse since i was a teenager. I'm so happy i got to see them with white lion though they put on a killer show. I still have all their albums and listen to their music alot. Love of a lifetime,shake and tumble,here for you,helpless, don't treat me bad ect my condolences go out to cjs family and friends during this difficult time. Tonight i will be playing only firehouse songs rest in peace you will forever be missed.
Thank you so so so so much for this video. It was beautiful and you did a really good job with this video. Thank you for doing what We asked for you to do. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for always bringing us awesome and amazing videos and news content and I thank you for all of your hard work you put into these videos as you are very talented in what you do. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 😊
I was sitting with my guitar 2 days ago and for no particular reason started playing the chords to love of a lifetime, following that I search for and watched the MV and commented on TH-cam, something I have never done before. And today I come across this news.
Wow what a shock! I've been a Firehouse fan since their debut album came out! They are pretty much my favorite hair band. I for sure got to sing a Firehouse song at karaoke this coming weekend! RIP Mr. Snare and God Bless!
I had the honor and pleasure to meet CJ at his parent’s house in Naples FL in 1991. I was only 16 and a huge fan!! He was so kind and was so excited to get to know us. Rest in peace CJ! You will be missed. Thank you for all the amazing music and making a teenage boy feel so cool for meeting you!!
Great singer. Great band. Lucky to have seen them with (if memory serves) Cinderella and I think maybe Warrant. In any other era.....CJ would have been a superstar. But in the 80s and early 90s....there was just such an infinite amount of talent it is indescribable, unless you were there. Seriously, there was never a reason to turn the radio dial barring commercials. The music was that consistently stellar. CJ somehow managed to stand out in a very crowded field. His vocal range made dogs howl. RIP and thanks for the music Mr. Snare.
So sad and shocked of the passing of cj he had a fantastic voice and very talented songwriter I always liked firehouse as a band my heart goes out to his family RIP cj
Firehouse was part of my first concert, when they toured with Trixter and Warrant. My wedding song was "Love Of A Lifetime" Great band, great singer. I'm sad now 😢 RIP CJ
Saw the five or so years back with Dokken….CJ could sing anything, he’s was sooo good! Firehouse was the hit of that show by far. I’m glad I got to see him live, but wish he was still going! ❤😢❤😢
Play this group's music everyone! They didn't get enough recognition when he was alive. Let's at least give him his due now!!! That song, Love of a Lifetime" alone, was worthy of every award that you can receive in the musical category. I'm not even a rock fan, but that was my song!!! I'm saddened by his death. 😢❤
Tesla and Firehouse was the first rock show I ever went to; I was 11 years old at the time. Before the show my family and I got to meet the guys from Firehouse and they couldn’t have been nicer guys. After that show I decided I wanted to play and have been playing music every day for the last 32ish years. Over the years we saw them multiple times and got to hang out with the guys before pretty much every show. Thanks for the inspiration and joy. Rest easy CJ.
Caught the band last year at the Arcada in St. Charles, IL. CJ poured everything he had into the show. He and the entire band were great. So sad to hear of his passing.
Very heartbroken about the loss of CJ Snare. I saw him just last year and he looked amazing. You'd never know how sick he was at the time. He was always professional and so very sweet. RIP CJ, your fans are truly fortunate to have had you in their lives. My condolences to his family,band and friends. 💜 🎵
CJ had a great voice. Firehouse is a truly underrated band who's only crime was getting a record contract right when grunge was heating up. RIP CJ.
CJ died on the same date as Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley... Kurt and Layne were singers of iconic grunge bands Firehouse beat in American Music Awards in 1992
His scream in the beginning of “overnight sensation” is insane
Who underrated this band???!!
Firehouse sucks.
Yeah but unlike those Seattle bands Firehouse lasted. God Speed to CJ. By far one of the greatest singers of straight up melodic Rock N Roll.
Very saddening to hear... We just keep losing wonderful singers and it sucks. May CJ rest in peace
CJ Snare Died On The Same Day As layne staley in April of 2002 And now CJ Snare in April 2024.
Clot shot just keeps taking them 🥕🥕
R. I. P Mr. Snare. Thanks for always being there for us all
CJ Snare Died On The Same Day As Kurt Cobain from Nirvana On April 5th 1994 and Layne Staley from Alice In Chains on April 5th 2002.

So sad to know this. Praying for all of his family, band mates and friends. God comfort and bless you.
I saw them with Damn Yankees in 1993, great hard rocking show. Reach For The Sky and Hold Your Fire were my favorites of theirs. RIP
I haven't heard of this band before, but that's so young my Dad is 64, all the love to the Friends, Family, Fans
Cancer is the absolute worst
You don't know what you're missing!😢❤
We are losing our best musicians daily. Go see the bands that made your youth amazing. You never know. Prayers to his family and band mates.
The world lost one of the great rock vocalist. Sad😢
So sad.....i don't say goodbye as we all met again somewhere sometime....thankyou for all the emotions you gave me
I actually met them back in the day in Chicago at a store called Rolling Stone! They signed my CD, I still have it! RIP

I married my second wife to "Love of a Lifetime" in '91. RIP CJ...great voice!
That track was played at my wedding while I was dancing with my wife March 27th 2010. I've always loved Firehouse since they first started!
That was my entrance song from my first wedding 05/12/07 RIP CJ 🙏

My friend met the band after a show. She said they were so nice. That was the original lineup. The good days are gone.
Grown up with their songs 😢😢😢
Great singer. Great band. Lucky to have seen them with (if memory serves) Cinderella and I think maybe Warrant.
In any other era.....CJ would have been a superstar. But in the 80s and early 90s....there was just such an infinite amount of talent it is indescribable, unless you were there. Seriously, there was never a reason to turn the radio dial barring commercials. The music was that consistently stellar.
CJ somehow managed to stand out in a very crowded field. His vocal range made dogs howl. RIP and thanks for the music Mr. Snare.
