21 Tom Keifer "When your vocal problems first happened, what were your thoughts?"

[@megaflyinbrian]

His wife is very respectful.. letting him talk and not interrupting.

[@mdnblues]

yeah no shit bro, there's no reason for her to interrupt him while he's telling a story from before they met lmao

[@PEDROCLASSIC]

Tom is the man . . . Real talented singer, songwriter who can play any instrument. Will never forget late 1989 Badlands, Winger and Bulletboys opening for Cinderella during the Long Cold Winter Tour at the Shoreline.

[@enmagod5113]

yeah! and michael monroe too.

[@deanstephens5940]

Saw the same tour on June 21 1989 at The Hearnes Center in Columbia,MO. Tom came down from the ceiling playing the piano for "Don't Know What You Got" . One of the best shows I have seen to this day!

[@Cebelle823]

A faithful fan since the beginning. At 47, I am still faithfully following your work and will continue to. I completely understand the immense frustration in having a medical problem that you could not get answers for. It is the most difficult thing one can imagine. I am so very thankful you are where you are today, due to serious work and dedication. To me, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. But you have every reason a person could ever have to be proud of yourself! I so admire how hard you have fought thru it. Some people would just give up but you're a fighter and that's one of the most important things in the world to be! You sound great don't ever think otherwise! I also like that you seem to be a family man. It's sooo sweet to see that you include your wife and son in your videos. Being a good husband and father are THE most admirable things in the world. You have a beautiful family!

I remember when Night Songs first came out on Metal Shop, WDIZ 100.3 the Rock of Orlando... I was a Daytona Beach Shores traffic cop with a secret vice... I listened to HEAVY FREAKING METAL!! (Shhh! No one knew!! Back in those days, metal heads were considered to be serial killers!!) I was on my way to a night security job in New Smyrna Beach listening to METAL SHOP when tonight's FRESH METAL came on... NIGHT SONGS... I immediately fell in love with it (he had me at "raise your glass.. take a bite!" and went in search of the record the next day... In my 200 CD collection of only the best stuff ever... I have Bon Jovi CROSSROAD sitting right next to my four favorite Cinderella CDs. Having listened to vinyl and made tapes for years, I finally got into CDs some time ago... and bought a used copy of Night Songs from Atlantic Sounds in Daytona Beach... and guess what?! it is SIGNED by Tom Keifer!! Now how cool is that?! One of my favorite bands and one of my favorite singers.... hope he can keep going from now on... (Ewwww yaaaeee-yaaah!)

Tom; I was 13 when I first heard your music/vocals.You became one of my fav singers of all time. Your vocals coupled with your stature and looks made me an instant, long-life fan. Throughout my 20's, I became great friends with Huntington Beach Hard Core Punk Bands Like Korn, Hed pe, and later on the most notable bands of the late 90's; Incubus and Sugar Ray. Although I have had the luck to meet some of the most amazing musicians of time, I would LOVE to talk with you and convey my greatest admiration toward you, your band , and your success. Thank you for the amazing music, lyrics, and hard work you, and your apprentices' have given us.

I’m a vocalist in a rock band and I had this exact same thing, a paralyzed vocal cord for around 2 months, I could hardly talk though and chalked it up to a bad case of laryngitis until a Dr told me what it really was, and that there was nothing they could do, that eventually it would become “unstuck” it did eventually

I'm commenting before watching the series because I'm about to head out. But I had severe voice problems at 32 that came out of nowhere too.

Look forward to finishing this when I get back.

No singer sounds just like they did in their 20's! If any of us had two sing on tour almost 365 days a year and do all those show's for over 20 years to 30 years of course they have issues! Touring is how alot of them make money, performing for there fan's and doing their music is what they love! I saw Cinderella the first time in 2004, with Alice and Chain's, Winger( God he's great live), then Cinderella and Poison headlined and Cinderella was by far a surprise, they blew everyone else away that day! But it was a fun concert ticket for sure!
