    The acoustic guitar was there just for the opening and any other acoustic melodies needed per song. Usually it would be attached to a stand that guitarist could walk away from and come back to when needed. Also, this album as released in 1990, which is why you're getting 80s vibes from it.

    Firehouse was a 90's success story, their first album becoming a hit in 1990, selling 2x platinum... this single hit #3 on the US charts, and is still a huge wedding song today. 2nd album 'Hold your fire' (1992) went gold... but the 90's grunge rock scene was taking it's toll on their popularity... Firehouse's 3rd album '3' in 1995 was a success overseas, but sold poorly in the US... it was followed by the 'Good acoustics' acoustic record in 1996.
    Firehouse persisted w/ the 'Category 5' album in 1998... followed by 'O2' in 2000... and 'Primed time' in 2003. But their commercial appeal had been lost. The band still tours consistently, but hasn't released any new music since.
    The original Firehouse was: C.J. Snare (vocals), Bill Leverty (guitar), Michael Foster (drums), and Perry Richardson (bass)... Richardson was replaced by Bruce Waibel (bass) for the 'O2' album, but Waibel tragically, passed away in 2003... Allen McKenzie is their current bassist.

    That was the first song that me and my ex-wife danced to at our wedding reception. Obviously the marriage didn’t last but the song is still a banger. I remember seeing Firehouse when they were still a struggling bar band with no record deal. They played mostly cover songs but had a few original songs that they performed, and one of them was Love of a Lifetime. When I heard that, I knew they were going somewhere and about a year later they had a record deal and their first album was in stores
