As Night Songs continued to climb up the charts, the band started to get hit with restrictions from Dave’s people. Labar would recall in the book nothin’ but a good time The better our album did, the more restrictions they tried to put on us. At one point Tom was told that he was not allowed to speak in between songs. We pointed out how ridiculous that was, so then they said, “Okay, you’re allowed to say the name of the city and the name of the song.” Cinderella soon jumped to a bigger tour linking up with Bon Jovi for their slippery when wet tour and that further catapulted their album up the charts. The group also learned something valuable on that tour, how to treat other bands as Bon Jovi showed them true hospitality. It was on that tour the band befriended comedian Sam Kinison who was friendly with a lot of the hard rock bands. He was originally supposed to appear in the video for Somebody Save Me, but the guys from Bon Jovi stepped in at the 11th hour and helped the band out,
It was during their first major tour the band would be picketed by some ignorant pro-censorship types at a show in Corpus Christi. The LA Times were along for the ride writing “ Apparently they figured Cinderella, like the heavy-metal band stereotype, was a quartet of druggies preaching the turn-on ethic in concert. “I said ‘Wait a minute,’ ” “I told them that we don’t do drugs and that you won’t find one lyric on any of my songs saying we do drugs or telling people to do drugs. You won’t hear it on the albums and we don’t do that kind of stuff on stage. I said, ‘You’re picketing the wrong concert.
Apart from the few hiccups, Night Songs would sell 3 million copies and it would become the second biggest selling debut LP since Boston’s which came out 10 years prior. The album went on to sell a whopping 3 million copies, a huge feat for a debut record. The LA Times would remark in 1986 “What makes the success of “Night Songs” so impressive is that new heavy-metal bands rarely sell very well. In fact, even veteran heavy-metal bands aren’t selling well these days.
Despite the strong commercial performance, critics didn’t initially praise the band. Rolling Stone panned the album for and i quote too much pose, not punch. But the reviews did little to bother the members with Keifer telling the Spokesman review i’ve never really ever read a bad review about us or another band that i thought was fair., it’s mostly a bunch of cheap shots .
The band’s secret weapon has always been Tom Keifer. Fred Coury would reveal how the band avoided the sophomore slump telling the Eugene Register A lot of people, they go on the road for the first album, just do the tour and then, they get off the road and the record company says ‘well, we need an album’s worth of stuff. They have a couple of months to write 10 songs & it just doesn’t work that way. They force it and the album just starts being horrible.’ But with Tom, he always writes on the road. “ He would go on to say that by the time the band got off the road for their first album Keifer pretty much had second album written. Keifer would admit that a big inspiration for the group’s second record titled Long Cold Winter would be the fact that until the band got signed he hadn’t really ventured too far outside of new jersey and pennsylvania so touring and seeing new places resulted in him feeling emotions he hadn’t had before and he poured those into music. Keifer wanted to take the band in a different direction soundwise. A lot of records were going after the slick production style of album’s like bon jovi’s slippery when wet and poison’s look what the cat dragged in. He would tell an interviewer
“With Long Cold Winter, we started to think about [production] more,” “We started to have more organic instruments -- pianos and acoustics. We toned down the slickness or the processing a little bit, although that record's still pretty slick.”
Absent from the recording sessions was drummer Fred coury who Keifer claimed was too young and inexperienced at the time. At the request of the band’s producer Andy Johns, Jeff Beck drummer cozy powell would play a majority of the drum traks on the record with Heart drummer Denny Carmassi playing on one tra

Grossly underrated band keifer has a brilliant voice, is a killer blues guitarist and super nice guy. Watch the Moscow performance - with zero staging they crushed it, just great rock and roll and the interplay between guitar (rip Jeff) and bass is fantastic. People never gave them a fair shake (me) after hair metal faded. A shame.

In 1988, AC/DC recruited Cinderella to open for their Blow Up Your Video tour. My college roommate was a HUGE Cinderella fan, I was pretty indifferent to them. They tore the place apart the night of the show we attended. Unbelievable energy. I became a fan that night, and was fortunate enough to have seen them several times after that. I'll go as far as to say that the only band on the planet that could have followed Cinderella that night was AC/DC.

[@markcatron8996]

I also saw Cinderella open for AC/DC on that tour..Great show, and have told others many times, Cinderella did a better show. I would add, Cinderella is surely in my top 5 list of great Musicians.

I saw AC/DC in Hannover on the same tour (still got the t shirt) but The Cult were supporting them then , they blew the place apart too , fucking amazing,

Hannover in West Germany at the time I mean

[@Stefonius]

I saw that tour! There was an interview done with Brian Johnson and Angus Young in which the interviewer asked them what it was like to tour with Cinderella. They said, "Cinderella brings something to our shows that we've never had before." The interviewer asked what that was, and they replied, "Girls! They're everywhere! All we get at AC/DC shows is blokes!"

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

I remember when Cinderella headlined the WVU Mountaineer Coliseum in Morgantown, WV in… I think it was 1989, which meant I would have been 11 years old. I didn’t go to the show, but it was in the local news that they played WAY over the legal decibel limit AND played 30 minutes past curfew. Everyone got their money’s worth that night. As for Cinderella… they were issued all kinds of fines, from violating city noise ordinance, to breaking curfew, AND were issued a lifetime ban from playing the coliseum. Rumor has it that there’s this large fault line crack in the basement concrete of the coliseum, and that “supposedly” Cinderella was THAT loud they caused the foundation to crack… I think settling is more so the culprit than mega low frequencies at high decibels

[@bobbiespencer7544]

Cinderella is still one of my favorite bands. Time wont change that.

[@dirkbonesteel]

I knew Keifer well starting in 5th grade through High School I went to West Chester a couple years, he was in the work study when I got back. Point is he was always serious as hell about music. Good guy, fun to debate music styles with. By High School he had a keyboard and lawsuit era black Ibanez Les Paul copy in the basement where the band practiced. Got to see Cinderella at the Crystal Palace the night before going into Navy before a record deal was signed. Later while serving on a submarine, got to treat the local sea creatures at about 300 ft below to his music. Everyone was happy for his success, he earned it. Don't honestly know what the sea creatures thought of him. He is still touring solo and the music is better more Blues, great stuff WOW the hotdog place is on McDade, now buying and selling gold/silver. Funny to me and probably no one else

[@christianpoint0888]

[@scotthouston2024]

I saw them in Atlanta Georgia as well as in Charlotte North Carolina this year. I can tell you he sounds as good now as he ever has. I know he can't fully reach some other notes that he hit in the same key as he did back in those days. His voice sounds smoother today and sometimes just a tiny bit of pitchiness I would say. Not that it's bad and it's just his sound and his voice. Hands down the best bluesy sound that has ever shown up on stage. I also saw them in 89 on the long cold Winters in Charlotte North Carolina. My friends and I got booted out during Long Cold Winters for a fight one of the guys started it was a brawl in the second and third row lol. He was being let down from above playing a baby grand and my buddy had to be an idiot. Still ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen as much as I saw of it. I have seen Aerosmith kiss poison David Lee Roth and others. Cinderella by far put it to all of them

[@jules-yi8rn]

Long Cold Winter and Heartbreaker Station were such great albums, imo. Very experimental and emotional... Tom is a great songwriter and sings like his heart is broken, and he wants you to feel it too.

Cinderella came out in 1986 and made that summer the rest of the year that much better. Right away I was learning their hits as best I could. Great times

[@1j2a3r3r4e5d]

When I discovered Cinderella in middle school around 2009, I was blown away. I am a guitar player and I 100% owe everything I know to Tom keifer. There were no KZbin videos showing how to play their music. So I watched the music videos and live concerts available and sat down and learned how to play every single song from every single album. I cannot say enough that Cinderella is my favorite band. Still climbing and heartbreak station are my favorite albums. Sadly I never got the chance to see them live and still haven’t seen Tom live… my senior quote was “I just wanna be free. Free like the wind. And if the wind fills my sails then I’m never coming back again.” RIP Jeff.

[@chrishandsome6542]

I feel like Cinderella is a step heavier than hair metal. If you put them next to Poison, you'd feel it's darker, heavier, and the vocals are actually pretty brutal. Almost ACDC like. Closer to Lemmy than Bon Jovi.

[@kellybarthel8060]

​@derkeheath5172 ya but a great many of the hair metal bands were actually quite good musically not putting twisted sister, motly crue, or poison in that group of great musicians. Now Cinerella also not the best musician but Tom keiffer is pretty good on the guitar and songwriting

Saw them a few times live and they were proper. Two notable moments, we saw them in Manchester, U.K. with Slaughter supporting them, that day it had been announced that Steve Clark, guitarist for Def Leppard, had passed away a couple of days earlier, that gig was a weird one, there was just a feeling of both celebration and sadness about it, live music was needed, the crowd needed something to pick us up. Sadly Slaughter didn’t provide it but Cinderella smashed it. The other notable moment was Tom’s white grand piano, we’d seen it lowered from the rafters onto the stage, a grand entrance, all about the show. Impressive. Sadly we were at the stage door whilst all the kit was been loaded onto the trucks, out rolls the grand piano, roadie lifts the keyboard out of the shell and puts it into a case, illusion smashed ☹️ the young me was gutted! I’m not entirely sure how I thought a rock band would transport a REAL grand piano around cheaply and safely but there you go, you live and learn eh? FWIW I still have a place in my heart for Long Cold Winter and Still Climbing is way better than the reception it got.

[@roxannemoser]

Tom Keifer is a great blues man. Highly underrated. Coming Home is my favorite. Gypsy Road is jamming too.

Long cold winter was one of the first Rock tapes I ever bought. 6/7th grade 1988 give or take. Still love this band. Great video!

[@Charles53412]

Bad Seamstress Blues is by far my favorite song from Cinderella ! Love the slid fret board work in the beginning of the song.

[@christianpoint0888]

[@donnagorton900]

I saw them with Bon Jovi on the Slippery When Wet tour and love them! It's Still remains one of my favorite shows

[@TheLebish]

I really liked Cinderella, and was lucky enough to meet and hang with the band, my cousin worked with them at the time, I thought they were pretty down to earth people, long live 80’s rock!

[@glennaldosf]

Sounds like a real... Cinderella story...

[@suryadas6987]

ZING!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🫡

[@tristanquezadadiaz4508]

Coming home is one of the best songs of all that glam rock era

[@terrinew9474]

I love Cinderella! They are really talented and a great band! RIP Jeff LeBar!

[@jimkoonce6574]

Cinderella was one of my favorite bands in the 80's-90's

[@pattda1]

Great band, very underrated

[@rjc7289]

Definitely one of my favorite bands of the 80's metal era. They had a more bluesy edge than most of their peers. Tom Keifer was and still is such an amazing talent -- vocals, guitar, slide guitar, piano, saxophone, and God knows what else. Was also surprised to see how multi-talented Fred Coury was when I saw the band in summer of 2000 and Fred played violin during Heartbreak Station. It also broke my heart into a million pieces when Jeff LaBar died. If we never hear from Cinderella again, at least we have their amazing catalog of music they left behind.

I been jamming out alot of Cinderella lately. They are bad ass and Toms vocals are top notch!

[@IlkerDeth]

[@carriesitar9155]

[@pricehomes]

I've seen Tom play a couple of small clubs in Nashville over the past few years. Still f-ing amazing to see live!

[@brianpinion5844]

Tom can still hold his own , Hes still out there hustling .

[@wln1595]

I saw the Tom Keifer Band in August this year. Awesome show!!!

[@toma.4808]

Yes! I saw him 3 times and the dude keeps kicking ass

[@RayBecker]

My brother Stephen did the tile and marble in Tom's house, er mansion. He told me about Tom's Great Room with all of the guitars and amps. It had it's own HVAC system and maintained a constant 55% relative humidity. It even had Hospital grade wiring and receptacles if I recall correctly. Tom is very talented and gifted. Good dude.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

I ❤ CINDERELLA ❤

[@kristopherkrueger4617]

Cinderella made 3 really great rock albums. Total Respect.

[@trumpshare]

I never considered Cinderella an 80's glam band. To me they were a great blues rock band with real talent. Someone did an isolated track on Tom Keifer on you tube and it really showcased how strong his voice once was. Its a shame when these guys are young they never take care of their voices and assume it will always be there....just part of the invincibility of being young.

[@dyer2cycle]

It seems to me that Sammy Hagar never really took great care of his voice, always pushing it to the limit...so it seems really incredible that only recently has his voice started to decline noticeably...and it still ain't bad for a 75 year old dude....

[@powoodworker1751]

Both Sammy Hagar and Tommy Shaw have aged very well. Both still look and sound great.

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

​@@dyer2cycleTom isn't 75 yet😅😂

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

​@@powoodworker1751Sammy Hagar looks horrible!

[@EquinoxComics]

"Still Climbing" is an EXCELLENT album. It's a perfect blend of the 1st and 2nd albums. I love it.

[@christophermyers4965]

This band is so good live. I love these guys. Great songs great songwriting still stands up today.

[@NealHardin-g8b]

Tom is Cinderella and I love their music.
