@@dougward9188 I’m from that Surrounding area n the Midlothian area of Chesterfield County Virginia I actually know some people who went 2 School with some of the other Members of their Band n Eastern Henrico County Virginia USA! I’m also still watching & listening!
@brianbates6835 Well, howdy neighbor. Midlothian resident myself. Moved here in 90. Finally met and worked on Bill's "Trouble so hard" video. Later, his, "Ace bandage" video. Honored to assist! 😃
Note to Jon Bon Jovi: @ 19:37 or 29:11 see CJ Snare You should be proud. Only the old lead singer of Journey, Steve Perry, can compare. Your father is one of the PHENOMENAL rock singers of our time. (And I'm not sure even Steve Perry could compare these days.) CJ is absolutely AMAZING.
I'll be 62 yrs old this year. (I still feel 30.) I've followed a lot of rock bands thru the years and Shinedown became a favorite in the last 15 yrs. I've been thru Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, plus a country era I went thru .. and after all this time and all the bands I've lived thru..Firehouse will go down as my #1 favorite band. I KNOW if they had gotten signed into the scene sooner they would have been insanely famous. The timing sucked... but I'm glad they got discovered and are still touring today to bless us still with their amazing talent. Thank you for posting this!
Damn he got his voice back! I remembered during their 2010's performances, CJ seems to have a health condition that he struggled to hit his high notes. And as a fan, i am happy to know that he still got it and sounds even better than before.
He doesn’t have any health issues but it’s just like me he didn’t sing for awhile and he forgot how he got that sound and rythum. I haven’t sang in a few years and I have issues because it’s true when you don’t use it you forget how you did it. And as we get older our voice change’s again but not like when we were 14/15 years old but it does change and I’ve found if you practice it’s a lot easier to be someplace warm and no humidity or very little because it helps your sinuses and they really mess with you as you get older and especially when you don’t have teeth and he has implants but I cannot afford to get them so my sinuses are crazy with humidity. But I’ve learned to sing with out teeth and you can’t really even tell. But ya if you don’t sing and practice your going to have a rough time figuring out how to get your sound back. I have been told I’ve got a bon Scott voice and I sound like the original skid row and the original warrant. But they can’t tell if it’s the radio or a cd when I sing to bon Scott I’m my biggest cridect so I was secretly recorded singing some old ac/dc and I thought it was a CD but it was recorded on a SD card so I wouldn’t know but I still don’t believe it lol 😂
August 1992 - a few days before I left for my freshman year of college - me and a couple buddies saw Firehouse open for Tesla at World Music Theater in Chicago burbs. My one bud kept telling me that Firehouse would steal the show and I scoffed, as Tesla was maybe my fav band at the time. I can't say they "stole" the show, but they ROCKED! Saw them again in the early-mid 2000's in a bar and they killed it then, too. Ever since they've been one of my favs. CJ Snare is nuts with that voice, and Bill Leverty is a guitar wizard, up there with the technical greats but people don't realize it b/c of the "Sleaze Rock" nature of the band. totally awesome shit, thanks for posting!!
@@MajorAir I just looked, and they’re going to be 2 hours from me in NC on Sep. 3rd!! I would have to check with my doctor before I went though, seeing as I’m 10 weeks pregnant lol. Not sure how the loud sound would effect the babe.
Mitch kick some ass there my brother. You probably don’t remember me but I used to talk to you guys when you were younger and playing at the pomp room in souix falls South Dakota, back in the day before you guys shot like a rocket 🚀!! That was back in the mid 90s 🥃🥃 KEEP IT UP AND PLEASE TAKE CARE FROM GARY L WAGNER’S CONSTITUTION BACK THEN ❤😂🎉🎉 BYE BYE GUYS!!!
its sad even back then cj new he had cancer and kept on rocking to the end and didn't tell anyone of his problem until he couldn't do it no more!!!wow. Rip Cj. Thanks for everything you did in your life!!!hope to see you on the other side!!!!!
It’s been a long time, can’t remember where, but I do remember that it was after there first albums release. They still sound great. What a drag it is getting old. If it’s to loud you’re too old😢🤘
Still an amazing band. Back in 98 or 99, I caught them opening up for BOC in a smaller bar/club in upstate NY. I was lucky enough to enjoy BOC on the side of the stage with Firehouse guys and they were so in awe of Buck, rolling their eyes and their faces dropping in amazement at The Maestro. Hung out a bit after the show...Bill L. was a really nice guy.
the voice was always and still there to the end!!!!rip cj for sure!!!!no offense to the cover band singing now,but as most,just not the same as the guy who brought us these songs back in the day and who we want us to sing them to us!!!
I believe they did, but I did not capture it. A couple of times when I was recording, too many fans were "falling over" and into people including me, and the footage was not good, so I decided not to include a couple of songs. Sorry.
see what shitty bands have major deals nowadays...and exceptional groups like this one do little shows and have no promotion.... the Workld s not a good place anymore ;/
I hear ya'. Rock Fest shows exactly what you are talking about. The Main Stage had some not-so-good bands, and the side stages had some bands like Firehouse, Lita Ford, Warrant, etc.
??? What? Go back and listen to the original recordings. He sounds 95% as good as he did 30 years ago, which is usually not the case with most bands from the 80's and 90's.
@@qwertyu6744 Give the guy a break, he's in his 50's! If you really wanna see a singer NOT sound like they used to, go see Vince Neil or Don Dokken. Then come back and tell us how "flat" he is. I've been listening to these guys since day one, and CJ sounds amazing here.
they have always been good ,,your one of those that probly know few songs thats it when they have tons of killer albums and tons of hits ,,great band now and always ,,
Who is watching after his demise?😢
I'm watching from india 😭
So very sad, the clot shot takes another one.
Me. I'm from Firehouse's neck of the woods. Richmond Virginia.

I'm so sorry for your loss
Great vocals and great band RIP CJ and thank you for your contribution to an undying sound
R.I.P. CJ 💔
Compared to any singer from the late 80s-early 90s, he really held onto his voice.

Amen brother! I’m 50 and every time I meet someone who’s 50 I’m like wtf! Proof Rock N Roll keeps ya forever young!
FireHouse is so underrated. Rest in Peace CJ
I admire him for giving it his all even though he probably wasn't feeling his best. What a trooper. RIP CJ!!!
I can't believe he got his voice back!!!!! I need them to come to South America before they retire T_T I'll go ANYWHERE to see them live *I SWEAR.*
Damn he got his voice back!
I remembered during their 2010's performances, CJ seems to have a health condition that he struggled to hit his high notes. And as a fan, i am happy to know that he still got it and sounds even better than before.
I was greatly impressed as well. I was a bit worried until he hit the first high note. YES!!!
@@MajorAirBill Leverty is a kick ass 🎸 player , and Michael Foster on those 🥁 blows my mind.
He never back his voise since 1996. Too clear and clean but not rock. Otherwise he had to get smth sort of St. Pearcey...

Glad to help us all to keep rockin'. :)
Bill Leverty is a bad ass MoFo on the guitar without question !
Major Air thanks for opportunity to see this great band!
You are welcome.
“When I look into your eyes” was my wedding song last year 😭😭😭😭😭
I’d love to see these guys soon!
They are around the Midwest A LOT! I will be seeing them again in a month or so. I hope you get that chance! Nice wedding song, btw.
@@MajorAir I just looked, and they’re going to be 2 hours from me in NC on Sep. 3rd!!
I would have to check with my doctor before I went though, seeing as I’m 10 weeks pregnant lol. Not sure how the loud sound would effect the babe.
@@ashcatchem5347 I hope you can go. The next ultrasound will have your baby rockin' the horns. 🤘😎
You and about a million other couples since that song came out, lol!

Nostalgia 💪💪 Wish White Lion should reunion and perform like them
I am very saddened of C.J.'s passing. He was one of the best and will be missed so much. RIP CJ. 🙏
Still sounds exactly like the record 👍
I know, right? I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed.
You still sound pretty amazing too, Todd
RIP Legend CJ Snare,love you from Timor Leste 🇹🇱 😭❤️🙏
O yea the style and sound of the music brings back a lot of memories nothing like growing up in the 80s and early 90s
Good to see these guys on stage again!!

I’m Still Watching & Listening !
I set up Bill's rig for a show in Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2 Marshall Stacks One clean n one dirty, his choice.Great People back stage. Fun to work with.
Sounds cool.
I am always with FIREHOUSE CJ ❤ This is ANGEL 😇 EYE'S

What part of upstate NY? I have tons of family there.
You enjoy BBC on the side of the stage? 😮 TMI
I seen them 31 years ago! Sounds great Cj!!!
See you guys soon at the peak. This Friday
RIP CJ, I grew up listening to your voice!
long live rock n roll.......................

CJ❤ and firehouse is always with me
I LOVE THIS BAND!
新しいアルバム待ってるよ。
日本にも来てねー❗️
それは甘いでしょう！彼らが住んでいるのと同じ地域に住むことができて幸運です。
they never disappoint
They just amaze!
I saw them in Cheyenne in 2020. Insane how well his voice has held up. Most guys from that era sound like sick dogs howling
@@mikebronc2902 His voice is crazy good, almost like it was "back in the day".
@@MajorAir I'd say he's the most preserved voice of that era. Geoff Tate still sounds good but the high notes are gone.
@@mikebronc2902 True. Joe Elliott of Def Leppard sounds great still as well.
The singer just passed away today April 7th 2024
So sad... I love CJ😢
Saya sangat faforit dengan fire House,lagu dan musik Rock nya
Apa faforit mena? Firehouse itu bagus, lagu dan liriknya ya.
RIP uncle CJ😢
CJ voice still rocks, awesome ..
Kicking ass
Firehouse is one of the softy bands. He doesn't stress his vocals like Sebastian Bach does.
lol respect

Well, we know now he was battling cancer when this was recorded.
Cj snare. Monster Vocals !!
😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
ご冥福をお祈りします😢サイコーボーカリスト
彼は間違いなく最高の選手の一人だった。この死は思った以上に私に衝撃を与えました。
CJ ok
Where was this place?
Did they play all she wrote?
I believe they did, but I did not capture it. A couple of times when I was recording, too many fans were "falling over" and into people including me, and the footage was not good, so I decided not to include a couple of songs. Sorry.
@@MajorAir no worries. It’s awesome that you got so many. Thanks for the reply. I’m seeing them in NC next weekend
