That is a great song.... especially at near the end of the song when he sings "When I look Into Your Eyes" in the high note register....I still get chills. This takes me back to high school....I was so in love with this girl... The most beautiful hazel eyes.... Gets me choked up.

Just came here after hearing of CJ Snare's (Lead Singer) passing 💔🙏 As a fellow lead singer and lyricist, the hook line for me is "Still, we both know that the road is long, we know that we will be together, because our love is strong!"

Check out "Wait" by White Lion", "Who's behind door" by Zebra, "I got you" by Split Enz. These are some great, almost forgotten 80s songs.

This song is from their first album. It came out in 1990. They hit the tail end of the Hair Band era. They had a sound with their group that if you liked one of their songs you'd like the whole album. That first album was great.... I loved every song. Try "Don't Treat Me Bad" or "All She Wrote". They were also hits from that album. Their second album was almost as good... They had the hits "Reach for the Sky" "When I Look In Your Eyes" and "Sleeping with You". Problems is they didn't do as well because the Grunge Era was starting to take over. Another band around that time that time that got over looked due to Grunge was Danger Danger. They had a great guitarist named Andy Timmons. Their biggest hit was "Bang Bang" or "Naughty Naughty". If you want to hear some of Andy's guitar playing try a short intro he did called "Puppet Show" by Danger Danger. It is only 1:20 but it is SMOKIN'!!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZyh2KiMj5exY6Q.html Andy Timmons has some solo instrumental guitar pieces.

They hit it big too late. Like many of the bands from the Great 80's Hair Days, if they didn't hit it huge by '87, they ended up a one album wonder. It's sad because some of the best bands came out in the later years. I saw Firehouse open for Ratt, I think, I'd have to pull out the ticket. They sounded just as good live.

Yeah, it felt like one day there were new hair bands cropping up as usual... and then Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" showed up and hair metal was pretty much insta-killed. I remember feeling bad for some of those later bands that launched right before their entire genre keeled over. OTOH, hair metal had kind of reached the stage that all genres do where larger and larger percentages of the new bands were poseurs just jumping on the bandwagon. Tbh, the writing was on the wall when all the metal bands went from releasing only rockers to releasing a rocker and then a power ballad, and then eventually just started releasing the power ballad first (because that's where the money was). Or, in some cases, ONLY releasing the power ballad(s). Chasing the fame and fortune, the hair bands themselves neutered their own genre. And all the "I want money and girls too!" bands who grew their hair out and put on hair metal like a costume watered down what was left until even some superfans like myself were bored and ready for something different. SIDE NOTE: Yeah, Cinderella was awesome. I've recommended a few Cinderella songs to Jay and Amber here though I think "Long, Cold Winter" is the one that would speak to them the most with the straight-up blues guitar and Tom's Janis-y voice. A lot for these folks to like. There were a lot of bands I liked back in the day that kind of make me cringe now but Cinderella is not one of them. They're a perennial favorite.

I really think that the Glam Metal sound, as well as the music video's were really perfected by 1988 to 1992, and there were so many great talented bands in the scene at the time outside of the Ratt's, Motley's, Poisons, etc. It's really too bad the music industry felt the need to bury them because they didn't want to have to pay established Glam Metal bands big money to renew their contracts, especially when they could sign a crap ton of new Grunge/Seattle rock bands for almost nothing, and start a new trend that was exploited, and used up even quicker than the Glam scene was. I get that times change, but people were still listening to Glam Metal in the early 90's, and it was still really popular until those bands were made out to be unfashionable. A ton of people remained fans of Glam Metal long after it died, and even kids who weren't alive back then love that music thanks to their fathers, and mothers exposing them to that music. So many people treat the power ballads as if they were cheesy soft rock written to make millions of dollars by default off of their albums. While that may be partially true, the goal of every album ever made from every band is to make songs that grip people emotionally, so why is it any different with power ballads from the Glam bands? A great song is a great song, no matter what genre it comes from, and whether people like it or not, the 80's/early 90's had a lot of the greatest ballads of all time, and they showed the musical talent of the bands that wrote them. It's just too bad that those bands, and songs were made out to be cheesy cooperate rock, which I think is just the opinions of a bunch of 90's, and 2,000's kids on depression meds trying to be edgy, and cool.

Actually they had two huge hit albums and one best new artist beating Nirvana at the American music awards in 1990. They have continued to produce music, much like many of the "hair bands" and recently have reached 25 years together as a band continueing to tour and have huge crowds.

Firehouse was another overlooked/underated band at the beginning of the 90's. The burn out from so many hair bands that sounded so alike and then the Nirvana wave that hit right after stopped Firehouse along with others like, Hardline, from ever getting the credit they deserved.

Also check out, "When I look into your eyes", another awesome song from Firehouse! Kudos you 2!!!

No, no, no, Amber! All the hair bands from the 80s and early 90s had at LEAST one beautiful love ballad. That's really what drew their female fans in.

Firehouse came out with their 1st Album in 1990. They came out at the end of the rock era, so they did get kind of under-rated, but if you know them, you know they're not an underrated band. They still sound amazing and put on a fun, terrific concert. They've been my favorite band since 1990. 🥰🥰🥰

Then Don’t Treat Me Bad. Firehouse rocked

One of the lines in this song was "The road is long", which reminded me of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by the Hollies. You really should listen to that song. You would LOVE it!

Just saw this reaction. I'm sure you've learned by now that the singers name is 4:09 CJ Snare, and you make learned the guitarist is Bill Leverty. I discovered Firehouse accidentally when they opened for someone else and fell in love with their sound. This is a great ballad. Another great balkad is WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES. But if you want rock check out REACH FOR THE SKY or ALL SHE WROTE.

Wow this brings me back to my high school days I miss this kind of music

Thank God someone finally did a reaction to Firehouse. Great job! Even if you don't do a reaction to them again check out their self titled debut album. It rocks!!!! Other tracks to check out are "Don't Treat Me Bad", "All She Wrote", "Reach For The Sky", and my favorite "Overnight Sensation". Really any song you do from their debut alum you can't go wrong. Ohh... The lead singer's name is CJ Snare and the guitarist is Bill Leverty.

shake and tumble and how the dream would have been good suggestions as well.

A couple of other great love ballads from this band are "When I Look Into Your Eyes" and "I Live My Life For You". The music videos for all three songs have the most views on their VEVO channel.

This is late 80s early 90s rock..every band had a slow kinda love song like this

Just recently discovered your channel, love you guys. Nice to see the reactions of the newer generation to the AMAZING 80's tunes. The music then told a story and evoked emotions that today's music could never match. Truly the music of a generation!!

Now you need to do When I’m With You by Sheriff :-) - another great power ballad.

My wedding song, lol

Don't Treat Me Bad was their absolutely awesome kickass rocker off the same album! 😎🔥🤘🎸

My wife and I danced to this at our wedding. Still gives me goosebumps 29 years later.

You guys got me to subscribe on this video! Love your appreciation of great music, most of it coming from the greatest decade of music, in my humble opinion, the 80's. Awesome song.

This is the song I walked down the isle to on my wedding day 24 years ago!!!!! You really need to check out Steelheart "I'll Never Let You Go". Another amazing love song!!!! Their lead singer, Mili, has an amazing voice with amazing range. The whole band is amazing!!!! A rabbit hole you need to go down!!!!!!!

The Reason by Hoobastank is one of the greatest power ballads of all time! 😎🔥🤘🎸

2 years!!! Time for more Firehouse! Next do All she wrote! Huge hit for them!

Damn, this takes me back. What a great song!

Awesome pick! This was actually our wedding dance song .

This is total 1980 to 1990 ! Metal hair bands ! Best 10 years of music all time ! His name is CJ Snare ! Firehouse was one of the great ones !

He sings falseto sans vibrato! It is cool AF

80’s music was just so good.

"Don't Treat Me Bad" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes" are two other good ones from them for sure!

Sad news, Cj Snare the singer of the band had left us today. Condolences to his family from Firehouse fans from Malaysia.

Firehouse - Don’t Treat Me Bad video should be up next. One of my favorite bands ever. Great unique vocals and straight rock sound.

I had to come back to this after your recent post. This is another favorite!! Love these guys!!❤❤❤

This became such a trend in the late 80's when hair bands were having these huge hits with ballads. It became expected of them to have at least one on the album.

@@Shawn-rq4py My point still stands. Firehouse were at the tail end of it.

I saw Firehouse a couple times in the early 90’s opening for other hair metal bands. Good live. This song came out 1990.

Oh man! I’d forgotten about this song. Had to update my playlist. Thanks for the memories!

Big Hair Ballads lol ... its a whole vibe, 'More Than Words' by Extreme, 'Fly to the Angels' by Slaughter, 'Something To Believe In' by Poison, 'To Be With You' by Mr Big, it really showed the musical/vocal chops of bands that people liked to put in a corner with 'Glam Metal' ... good stuff

This is a part of hair metal called a power ballad. Check out Cinderella's "Dont Know What You've Got Til It's Gone", Tesla's "Love Song", Warrant's "Heaven", and Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." I could name dozens of others. Lol

Those Hairband singers had some strong vocals back in the day.

Wow, had forgotten all about this, haven't heard this one in ages!

RIP- CJ Snare. Such a beautiful voice he had.

Firehouse, "Don't Treat Me Bad". I think they were definitely underrated. Great band though. The base guitar player, Perry Richardson plays for Stryper now. Stryper was an 80's Christian hairband (that still tour). You need to dive into their music. "Honestly", "Always There For You", "Free", "To Hell With the Devil" are a few suggestions.

If you like his voice which is amazing... Check out Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame, the Live at Tokyo video. You'll be blown away by Geoff Tate much the same way you were by Floor in Nightwish.

It is his delivery of the lyrics. His sound is distinctive due to his delivery of each word

This song was meant for you two. You two are a beautiful couple. I dedicated this song to my wife as well. They are from the 90's. They are still touring today,
