[BruinsRock8]

What the hell is this song even about? 

[jackelprince1988]

Revelation 21:8...OR a bath John 3:16-21?

[TheTarheel2011]

[x101st]

I always HATED Bob Seger, 'til I heard this song. Child of the '70s and 80s!

[beareagle2001]

My Dad wrote this song, Damm good beat!!

Love you brother Joe!1

[taemanok2006]

Uncle Joe!!!

[RobLeRu]

0 dislikes, damn right.

[gyneman]

hands down, my favorite Seger song!

[mmeeksie676]

grew up on Segar, nice to come home!

[tncl85]

Rock music is so diverse and great...but nothing beats good ol' american rock n roll, like Seger, Mellencamp, Skynyrd, etc. Such a great song...really takes me back! Nothing says nostaligia like a Seger song!

[dchanyi]

It means what ever you want it to. That's the beauty of it man! Rock on and rock out!

[kurtly27]

@matttee13 - my hats off to your dad dude!

[kurtly27]

THATS Rock n Roll! THATS music! What the hell happened to it? Where did all the creativity go?

[chuckertonly]

i think the song is about some form of afterlife whether it be heaven or hell

[relilly007]

this song kicks ass

[djallen16]

god bless bob segar.......................

[cb777lr]

could this be a referernce to going to hell?

[renegadebiker24]

@cb777lr hey, I really do not think so it is a reference to going to hell. There is actually a Fire Lake. It is in Canada. Look for it on Google Maps. It is south along County Hwy 643. Hwy. 141 is to the east of it.

[seksamerika]

@renegadebiker24 he is from michigan not far from canada

[renegadebiker24]

@seksamerika I was talking about what the song is referring to, not the singer when I was talking to cb777lr when they asked if the song was a reference to going to hell.

[brewmaster342]

@renegadebiker24 The Fire Lake you are referring to is in the U.P. of Michigan, in Iron County, in the township of Crystal Falls. My family and I own property on the lake. There was a forest fire there in the early 20th century. (1920's) Before the fire, it was named Lady Lake as the lake resembles the shape of a woman.

[amcanmike]

@brewmaster342 intresting

[matttee13]

My dad is playing drums on that album. Those are his drums on the record cover!

[raremountainbear]

@matttee13 - Part of the lucky sperm club, eh?

[matttee13]

@raremountainbear Not really a club. He was married to my mom first

[lakeladymel]

@matttee13 Wow ,that is cool !!!! You should be so proud !!! Great song and album. My favorite album of this band . I bet you are a drummer,too.

[matttee13]

[Monsternutt]

[gyneman]

@matttee13 Teegarden is your dad? cool if it's true!

[jimstull]

what's your name?

[matttee13]

@jimstull Matt Teegarden

[jimstull]

@matttee13 Matt I hardly know what to say, The Silver Bullet Band is honestly my favorite in concert. They were phenomenal and just when Bob Seger was getting big nationwide I was telling everyone who would listen about the great new band I was discovering. I assume you know Bob and pretty much all the guys who were in the band. Your dad is a lucky guy to have been in the band and you're lucky to have such an awesome dad. Just remember rock and roll never forgets.

[matttee13]

@jimstull Well thank you, but I've never met Bob or any of the members of the band. I was born about 15 years after my dad left the band sadly. I have still met some pretty famous people though!

[FloormanofAlabama]

@matttee13 What is your dads name sir?

He is good, they recorded down in Muscle Shoals

Alabama.. everyonein the music business that is over 55

did, good ole days! Good times in the singing river...

Jimmy Johnson Muscle shaols sound/fame records

is the man

[matttee13]

@FloormanofAlabama Sadly he didn't record at Muscle Shoals. They used another drummer when they recorded there.

[rbs91160]

Thank you! love it!

[SamDamewood]

Been watchinf Uncle Bobby since he was with the System. Seeger has always put on a great show. I went to Cobo when they recorded Live Bullet and it was the best of all

[lostshadow765]

my band covered this song

[badass0129]

i drove to this song the first time i drove lol

[Monsternutt]

Cool song.



[1lesslethal]

Fire Lake is referring to the afterlife...hence the reference to eights & aces (the dead man's hand) IMO

[jerflm4]

always thought it was a nickname for los angeles..?

[FiskFan72]

Who wants to tell old Aunt Sarah, Joe's run off to Fire Lake.

[Maclaine007]

Fire Lake is a party spot where bikers got together,it is a place,not a store.

[MrMapleLeaf5]

Heard it on the radio at work, had to check it out!

[toshaneal96]

is fire lake, the liquor store,, , i think it is,, what chu think??

[brendaleake]

what year was this song originally played? I see things that say 1979-80 but I am sure I heard it in 1978... was it maybe sold as a single then put on the album in 1980? because I also read that it was actually written a few years before and was intended to go on an album released in 1975 but there was no room for it so they held onto it till later. anyone know for sure?

[dlew71662]

brenda.. . bob starting writing this song in 71 . he planned to put it on the 75 beautiful loser album . but it didnt make the final cut.. he finally released it in 80 on the against the wind album.. if you listen closely you can hear don henely. tom schmit and glenn fry . from the eagles they do back up vocals on that track

[celloprofundo]

I remember glenn frey saying bob seger once told him to 'heavy up'..good advice for glenn at the time, going solo as he was.

[Rocker9992]

Next to "Night Moves" this is perhaps my favourite Seger tune. I wonder if anyone's told poor Aunt Sandra Joe's ran off to Fire Lake.

[Vatch1966]

Members Of The Eagles singing back up here!!

[meltdown47]

my favorite Bob Seger tune

[7221208]
