FireHouse is an American rock band that formed in Richmond, Virginia, before moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they were signed to Epic Records in 1989.[6] The band reached stardom during the early 1990s with hit singles like "Reach for the Sky", "Don't Treat Me Bad" and "All She Wrote", as well as their signature power 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 "Favorite New Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Artist".[7]
Two great songs
Firehouse - Don't treat me bad - acoustic
In our interview with FireHouse frontman CJ Snare, he explained: "Sometimes songs really are personal and sometimes they really, really aren't. I remember sitting down at the piano and coming up with that chord progression, but it sounds really different on piano, obviously, than it did on guitar. I had the first verse, bridge, and chorus, and then I brought it to the other guys in the band and we hammered out the rest of the song. Mostly Bill [Leverty, guitarist] and myself."
Firehouse - Love of a lifetime
CJ Snare had not yet formed FireHouse when he wrote this song. He had a gig playing solo in a hotel lounge with a keyboard and drum machine. One night after his set, he came back to the lounge, enjoyed some free beer, and came up with the song. This song almost didn't make the album, since CJ Snare didn't want to introduce it to the band. Part of his trepidation came from some bad medicine Jon Bon Jovi gave him: The singer told CJ that it would ruin his career if he released the song.
