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.
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 🤘❤️🕊️
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. 🙏
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.
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
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!
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!
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 watched this video every day on VH1 before I went to work. I met the band when they played in our town. It was great to have them play in the bar. They were all so nice.
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.
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.
RIP CJ ❤ It was a pleasure seeing you and the boys performing in Shillong, India, in the late 2000's. Thanks for the memories. You guys are Legend out here and appreciated by rock fans out here.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
There are songs that are unforgettable. this is one of the songs of my life. gives me the same chills like 20 years ago. and it brings the best memories.
Ouch. This one really hurts. What a talent taken from us much MUCH too soon. RIP CJ and my heartfelt condolences to his family and his young children. May God grant them strength. X
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
This song has been stuck in my head all day. There's nothing I can do. I listened to it 3 times at work, once in the car, and now I'm watching this video but it won't get out of my head. Somebody help. God, I love this song.
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.
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.
R.I.P CJ Snare. 😢 You will be missed. Thanks for all the great songs, and memories of the 80's, and 90's, when great music like this existed.
He was a force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure! What a talent!
Reach for the sky brother 🙏
:…(
No way, this is so sad.
Sad news, losing our greats! RIP CJ Snare, thank you for adding joy to our lives!
RIP C. J. Snare (December 14, 1959 - April 5, 2024), aged 64
You will be remembered as a legend.
Hardly a legend
@@DonnellOkafor-r2d Tell us you don't ANYTHING about vocals. Yep... thought so.
😢
R. I. P. CJ Snare... I hope you're rocking out in Heaven with the rest of the greats!!!
One of the greatest rock songs of the 90s. RIP, CJ.
😂.....
.....wait, there's more 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
This is a really good rock song. I love this song. 🖤
Agree, great song.
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!
Yup!!
@@Mach5Johnny
my favorite firehouse song. hits different knowing he's no longer with us. RIP CJ
My favorite song of theirs, too.
Nah
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 ❤!
I was able to see them, but C.J. was sick, so he wasn’t there. I’m so sad I never got to see him. R.I.P C.J.
Check out their live concerts on YT. The one in Lafayette, LA 1991 is awesome!
RIP CJ Snare, an iconic voice that was always underrated. Cancer sucks!
Rip C.J. thanks for the best music 80s/90s
RIP CJ and thank you for all the kickass music.
Say hi to Elvis and Charlie Daniels
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
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
I love deathmetal and grew up with all of this stuff, so I agree.
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

RIP CJ Snare! ❤
LOVED this song. RIP C.J. My wife and had our first dance to Love of A Lifetime in 1992!!!!!

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!!!
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.
RIP CJ. You had one of the greatest voices in rock history. 😢
I'm 50 years old and I'm Italian. I've always loved Firehouse songs since I was 16. R.I.P. Great Singer C.J Snare
I watched this video every day on VH1 before I went to work. I met the band when they played in our town. It was great to have them play in the bar. They were all so nice.
I'm a big fan of this underrated band, anyone??
Hello 2024 and still rockin'🤘🎸🔥🎶🎙
Amazing band!
Underrated? Did you miss the early 90s.
I'm 39 my dad's fav!🎉🎉

I grew up listening to C J. All of his work will forever be with me. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
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..
The beautiful blonde in the video was in a long forgotten early 90’s show on Showtime. Man those were the days, beautiful girls, rocking tunes! 👏🏼👍🏼
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.

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!!!!
R.I.P. CJ Snare! What a voice!
RIP CJ ❤ It was a pleasure seeing you and the boys performing in Shillong, India, in the late 2000's. Thanks for the memories. You guys are Legend out here and appreciated by rock fans out here.
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
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
RIP CJ! U Rocked it Brotha -- Keep em Rocking in Heaven 🤙
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!!!
Condolences to his friends and family!
RIP CJ ,thank you for the great music,and great memories 😞
I feel like somebody punched me in the gut. I am so upset. Rest easy, CJ. Love you.
What a voice he had! Saw Firehouse in Marquette, MI. Great concert, fun night, great memory. Rip CJ. 🕊💔
My first concert, Lakeview Arena 🤟🏻
I'm glad I got to meet them at Rolling Stone Records in Chicago, back in 92. Got the whole band's signatures! Still have them too. RIP CJ
RIP, CJ. Thanks for the music and the memories!
R.I.P. C J Snare and thanks for the great musical youth you and the band gave me!😘
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
RIP CJ Snare

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.
Rip cj...loved firehouse....
I forgot how good this song is !
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
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.
What an awesome tune! A lot of people in the 80s experienced what they're singing about!
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.

That high note at the end to cap off the track is just *chef's kiss* perfect
I saw firehouse in some dive bar in.salt lake city utah they rocked
with love from japan… Thank you C.J.
RIP CJ Snare. Thank you for everything.
So sad to lose CJ, what an amazing soul, thank you for making the world a better place.

Paulo Bianquini and long hair
You will never be forgotten I still listen to Firehouse music
There are songs that are unforgettable. this is one of the songs of my life. gives me the same chills like 20 years ago. and it brings the best memories.
This is what real music sounds like. Not this Bullshit today. 80s kid and damn proud.
100% agree
Me too babe!!

What's right pretty)

Ouch. This one really hurts. What a talent taken from us much MUCH too soon. RIP CJ and my heartfelt condolences to his family and his young children. May God grant them strength. X

Me too!!
Same here!
Same here. Good times.

This song was great. I love the lead guitar in this track. Firehouse was another really good band of the 80's.
Love you C.J. Snare always in my heart ❤️ God bless Firehouse 🇺🇲❤️✝️⚾
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
Matthew Taylor me too, really underarter band but really good🔥❤️
Whitesnake with Steve Vai. Saw them in concert.
Ok boomer
And Hardline except the came out in 1992.
This guy can sing. He really had a great voice.
RIP CJ. Great vocalist of our times
Song in my boy 👦 hood days.
RIP CJ Snare, 8 April 2024.
I was in total shock when I heard this on Peacemaker. Such a beautiful tune!
This song has been stuck in my head all day. There's nothing I can do. I listened to it 3 times at work, once in the car, and now I'm watching this video but it won't get out of my head. Somebody help. God, I love this song.
I will miss you, CJ. Im thankful for the many years of good music. May you rest in peace with the angels. 😢

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.
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.
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
Saw FireHouse last night at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor, Maine..what an amazing show!! RIP CJ❤ The new lead singer was fantastic!!
RIP CJ thank you for all the 80s memories and the good times we all had then. 😢❤
I used to play the crap out of this cd, while washing dishes in highschool.
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 was one of the great bands of the 90's love you man ❤❤😢
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..
My 40 year old ass still blasting this in 2020
Ha. My 60 year old ass doing the same!
Me too..lol ☺️
Jennifer Murray I’ve.been blasting this since I was 14
Oh, girl, I can't take it anymore...
Me too
너무나 좋아했던 노래였는데 49살이 되어서야 처음으로 뮤직비디오를 보네요.
내가 만일 락 보컬이 된다면 처음에는
무조건 이 곡을 부르고 싶어요.
정말 멋진곡입니다.
우울할때마다 찾아듣고 있어요.
Fire House. 고맙습니다 ^^
Underrated band and song. My earliest memories are from around this time (1990/91) when the 80s glam sound was still thriving.
