    This actually came out in 1990. I know there was a lot of people thinking that Hair Metal were just pretty boys, but these dudes can sing. Whitesnake, Guns and Roses, Poison, Firehouse, Warrant, Slaughter, they all had at least one "Power Ballad" and they were all perfect songs. "Don't treat me bad" is other favorite of mine from Firehouse. Great reaction

      Agreed. I've suggested Cinderella to them a few times though, tbh, I think they'd respond best to the full-on bluesy guitar of "Long, Cold Winter." Really, though, with Tom's Janis-esque voice, I think they'd enjoy pretty much any Cinderella song.

It was an intimate setting and I was able to ask him how has he maintained his voice? He said he treated his voice like a muscle and that they do tune down some nowadays. I saw them in 1991 and they kicked ass then too. They where from late 80s to mid 90s.

    If you want to hear Firehouse rock out then listen to “That was all she wrote.” I got to see my hometown boys before they went national on several occasions and they always put on a great show. They were known as White Heat then but had to change their name because another signed band already had the White Heat name. They became Firehouse. C.J. Snare could wail and Bill Leverty could really play that lead guitar.

    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'!!!! ua-cam.com/video/khmvFS_4K3A/v-deo.html
    Andy Timmons has some solo instrumental guitar pieces. One of more notable pieces is "Hiroshima (Pray for Peace)" ua-cam.com/video/st8UJMou0js/v-deo.html

    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.
    My favorite Hair Band is Cinderella. They gave an amazing live show!

      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.

    • @donavonhoward114

      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.

    One thing you have to remember about this genre of music is this one fact. Almost every group had to have at least one ballot from each album to use as a selling point and to stay revelant. This song was there first in their first album. On their second album they have a valid called where I look into your eyes. It was mine and my wife's high school song. I graduated two years before her. Went to basic training there in Oklahoma he lost contact with her. After 25years I heard this song again old XM radio and decided to look for her. I found her and we started dating again. We got married 6 months later. That was in 2015. And we could never be happier. We were truly blessed by that group and their god-given talent
