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 🥕🥕
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💖
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.

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.
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!😢❤
Today's music you don't even have to be talented.
You hear people lip synching all the time.
I can assure you that Carl Snare aka CJ never lip synched. He was genuine and loved by everyone who met him.
Your memory and legacy will Live on.
RIP my friend ..
Aww man, I fell in love with firehouse as a kid in the 90s. Bummed to hear of his passing.
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 actually met them back in the day in Chicago at a store called Rolling Stone! They signed my CD, I still have it! RIP
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.
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. 🙏
CJ, I will never forget your voice! Home Is Where The Heart Is, and I know you went Home. Rest With God. 🕯
The world lost one of the great rock vocalist. Sad😢
Proud to say I always stood up for this band - and still enjoying em today - rip
He had a beautiful voice. RIP CJ.
Ty for covering this. Rest easy CJ.
into every life a little rain must fall. And when you lose someone you love it feels like a storm. The storms are passing... RIP CJ.
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 first dance with my husband was Love of a Lifetime! RIP CJ!
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.
😢😢😢😢You will be missed CJ
Sooo sad😢😢😢😢 I love his songs! ❤ thoughts and prayers for his family and friends
Very sorry for the family, for your loss , praying for all God bless ❤❤
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 😢💔
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.
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.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. I'm literally at a loss for words
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.
RIP CJ Snare youre in a better place now 🙏
Rest In Peace, CJ 🙏😔 😢Condolences to his Family, Friends, Loved Ones, Bandmates and Fans.
Thank You For All The Music and The Memories!
🥁🎹🎧🎸🤘
CJ was a true front man. He had the voice, and the look. I remember listening to their album delivering pizza. RIP
RIP C.J snare, geatest vocal of all time whether it is live performanace or studio version, your voice will never be forgotten💐
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!
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.
One of the absolute best. Hard to believe. 😢😢😢
No way!!! God what a voice!!! Rest in Peace CJ
My mom used to go see them perform at a club called The Switch in Raleigh NC, before they got big and changed their name to Firehouse. Sad day, man.
My friend met the band after a show. She said they were so nice. That was the original lineup. The good days are gone.
So damn sad! The voice of my youth! Every time someone gets married, you’ll always be summoned in spirit with your amazing songs!
So sad.....i don't say goodbye as we all met again somewhere sometime....thankyou for all the emotions you gave me
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
I will ALWAYS remember that voice! He left his mark in/on this world. Take your rest 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! ❤😢❤😢
😔 He was an excelent singer!!! I hope he rests with the angels! 🤘🤘🤘 🙏🙏🙏
I played the hell out of their first release. I never was able to see them in concert. Rock in peace C.J.
A real friend. Still hurting and I will for the rest of my life! He was a genuine soul. 💔
Sad news was listening to these guys the other day 😢 good rock band always cheered me up!! ❤
R.I.P Mr. C.J , thank you for everything , thx for music ..💔🌹
What a bummer. I love Firehouse in fact, Love of a Lifetime was one of wedding songs! May he RIP! So sad! Truly a gifted musician.
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. 😢❤
So sad to know this. Praying for all of his family, band mates and friends. God comfort and bless you.
You will always be remembered Snare for your incredible voice and power ballads in my life you inspired me I'm a songwriter
So sad 😢😢love Firehouse saw them in concert in the early 90’s condolences to his family and friends ❤❤
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!!
rest in peace C.J .. you were my best friend and teacher . Thank you for sharing a chapter of my life with me.
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
Wow! That is a sad day in rock n roll. Rip CJ. You will be missed. Never forgotten
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.
I loved his voice! "Love of a Lifetime " was EVERYTHING!!!😢😢😢
I believe they were supposed to perform in maine, my home state. I'm sorry for their loss. Our loss. He'll rest easy now.
I just hope while C.J. was alive that he found the Love Of A Lifetime because in the end that is what matters the most.
Always be remember 😢 from philippines 🇵🇭 always listening to all his song. Rest in peace

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. 💜 🎵
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.
RIP CJ. My deepest condolences. 💔💔
So sad..😢😢 love them! CJ you are missed. RIP ❤
Their first album was on rotation in my system for a long time, Shake and Tumble is still awesome. Never got to see them live unfortunately.
All kinds of their live concerts on YT. Check out concert in Lafayette, LA. Bomb!
I remember Firehouse quite well from when I was a kid ! Damn RIP
Im very shock 😢 im remembering my childhood with his song 😭
Extremely Unique voice, I saw them live a few years ago at Penns Peak in Jim Thorpe, Pa, Honestly he sounded like he was singing in the studio
one of the best live performances EVER. Prayers for peace and strength for all involved !
So sad he was an amazing singer his legacy will go on forever...R.I.P. C.J.SNARE...
Love of a lifetime
That song was EVERYTHING!❤
So very sad. Rock in peace C.J. 🙏
One of the top voices in Rock...so sad that he is gone.
Well that hit like a ton of bricks.. our rock legends are moving on. I just know they're going to rock at the best gig in the sky ever. Rest easy CJ.
I am stunned always thought alot of him and he will be Missed .God Bless you CJ Rest High on the mountain.Really Gonna miss ya
Rest in peace idol, firehouse lover
They were one of the few Glam Metal and AOR/Melodic Rock musical acts that maintained success during the time when major record labels were pushing Grunge and Alternative to be the permanent face of Rock Music scene without any diversity or variety in other styles/subgenres. His passing is still hard to accept. RIP
MISS YOU CJ..THE NOBODY WILL COME CLOSE YOU ARE A RARE GEM...LOVE YA
I managed to see them three times back in the day--twice opening for Tesla in 1992 (though they were plugging different albums since Reach for the Sky had been released in between the two shows), and opening for Poison in 1993. They were definitely a solid group, with CJ's very distinctive vocals, especially when he hit the hite notes. RIP.
"Love of a Lifetime ", is a lovely wedding song❤❤❤
Firehouse had a ton of great songs😢
RIP CJ SNARE 💔 LOVE FIREHOUSE
Grown up with their songs 😢😢😢
Cj was a great singer when you heard any song by him in fire house you new it was gonna be a hit ❤❤❤ rip brother
I was lucky enough to see him with Max Warrior back in the days before Firehouse. White Heat out of Richmond was rockin the local bar scene. They formed Firehouse. Good times. Hey Bill, you guy's had a hell of a run. Yall"s music will live on. C.J.'s vocals were second to none
Dearly missed and forever at heart.
Wow all my heroes are dying 😢
