Smart for the band to head back to their “other” popular market after CJ’s passing to introduce the new singer.

The singer sounds great!

Really makes you appreciate CJ even more. The new singer is adequate but has zero charisma/stage presence.

That's true! They even show a clip of CJ singing, reminding you how much better he sounds. It's nice they took a moment to mention CJ. Unlike Warrant who never mentions Jani, the guy who wrote all the songs they still get to make a living playing.

Agree 100% with all of the above! He sounds great but that's weird to see Bill do the talking. I went right to You Are My Religion because I've never heard them do that live before. He's like "Here's a love song. They're all love songs. Let's just play it".

And yeah...I've seen Warrant 5 times and they never acknowledge Jani at all. It must've been really bad between them towards the end.

I saw them a few months ago and made a similar comment to my wife after the show. The new singer did a good job, but the video of CJ was jarring in how apparent it was that his voice was on a whole other level.

You like what you like and Im not gonna argue with anyone on that.
Having said that holy crap that was some generic sterile boring crap to me.

I mean...it's Firehouse. Not sure what you were expecting.

But to your point, the new guy sounds like Jizzy in Quiet Riot to me. It gets the job done, but it's not something I'm going to pay money to see, at least not on it's own.

I did not know Firehouse plays so big venues?! I thought they are a small club level band nowadays.
