Tom Keifer of CINDERELLA Shares his "ROCK SCENE"

Tom Keifer of CINDERELLA Shares his "ROCKSCENE". Go to RockSceneMagazine.com for more cool interviews.
Tom talks about his rock scene growing up as a young kid-- and first seeing the Beatles and then The Monkees on TV and then... "I started hearing a different sound than the Beatles or the Monkees... and it was like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith and once I heard that... and the Rolling Stones…you know I remember hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash and Brown Sugar…and from that point on all through like my high school years that's all I wanted to do."
On August 2, 1986 Cinderella released their debut album, NIGHT SONGS. Tom Keifer remembers when he shot the cover with photographer Mark Weiss. As Tom recalls, "It was shot in the historic district of Philadelphia … but the most interesting thing that I remember about that shoot was that the album was called NIGHT SONGS and Mark scheduled the shoot for day time.. and I kept saying to him..that's not going to look right and he said I shoot day for night and I didn't know what the f--k that meant...and I just trusted him because I kind of liked this guy right off the bat.. I thought he was a straight-up cat. And sure enough, when we got the pictures back it looked like it was nighttime.. So Mark Weiss is a f--------g genius."

Tom is a true rocker, everytime he gets on that stage he gives the audience all of him and his love for the music. He is the best. Loved his voice the first time I heard it and had to find out the band. Still a fan thirty plus years later

[@vigilanterocco381]

Tom Keifer was an outstanding singer; one of the best Rock musicians back in those days that'll never COME BACK!!! You still Rock, Tom. You had kick ass Rock 'n' Roll music.

[@ericcook4665]

no wonder toms music came out so well just listening to him and his inspirations that inspired him just radiates out of him !!

[@carybarron5821]

Much respect for Tom. Still sounds freaking awesome with a paralyzed vocal cord.

[@moriganna67ify]

Tom you have been through the best and worse of your career. Look at you now! You're talented as a musician. Can't begin to describe just how versatile and talented you are. Your vocals are still amazing. (Plus yeah you're still gorgeous lol 😄). I could not be more thrilled that you are rocking it back on the stage touring and doing what you love. With this said....enjoy the little things in life and enjoy every single moment on stage, back stage, at home with your beautiful wife Savannah! I wish only the best for you and your newer band. They are all awesome like you.

[@bigmaxy07]

[@CaribSurfKing1]

bigmaxy07 Amazing album, in my top 20 all time! Saw them in 88 when I was 18 in the UK, it was amazing, big influence, Tom playing his Lester and piano, still remember it!

[@giantsfan8872]

bigmaxy07 i prefer the first album it was more hard rock..then they became too bluesy

[@denicecarlagordon3040]

Cinderella's music is no only from the 80's time but is ftom the 90's as well and still fans favorite hard Rock band of all time. Ps. Cinderella's "Night Songs" record is a really Cool record too!

I wasn’t born in the 80’s sadly I was born in 2003 but as far as I can see the 80’s were fantastic looked like a lot of fun I wish I would’ve seen Cinderella in concert when they were young!

[@Cheryl_Loves_Purple]

tom has always been & will forever be my heart throb. i love his smile, it is just so amazing. i was a teen in the 80's so cinderella was my favorite band back then.

A time when friends actually did things and went places together! before video games and internet and cell phones took over!

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

Exactly we had backyard parties and blasted 80s Rock and people would sit around the fire and actually talk. Everyone’s face wasn’t planted in their smart phones.

[@andrewbrandmusic1971]

Hello from the future. It’s gotten worse 💀

[@danafox5852]

I'm 62, love your music

[@ericdraven7185]

I love listening to his storys... Tom, Cinderella, was a major influence on me in junior high and high school. They are among my very favorite "hair bands". And in my opinion have the 2nd best love balled in rock history. To this day (30 years later) I still play Cinderella on my bass guitar.

[@amyelliott924]

laid back and down to earth dude! always had respect for you Tom, even though i was a metal head back in the day, you were very talented and these interviews are cool to see, glad to see you are one of the most humble front men from the 80-90's! class act!

[@denicecarlagordon3040]

Such a great artist, Tom Keifer is a very underrated singer-songwriter musician and producer and he sounds really COOL in his new solo record "RISE'

[@WildDigger]

I have always liked his style of singing and guitar playing. He made great music in the 80's and I for one am glade he is back and can still sing despite the vocal cord issues. Keep it up Tom!

[@chevroletfiasco2386]

Thank you for your and guys' gig in Moscow back in 1989! It was... well, everybody can have a look - it was fuckin' fantastic! I mean the entire band sounded great but your vocal... I fuckin' don't know the right words to describe it! And Gosh, those intro to Gypsy Road... Everybody on this Planet should see it! Thank you, Bro! Russians will always love you!

I love this interview!

[@lynnm.goodman.3508]

I have been listening to Cinderella for quite a long time now… Tom K. has always had an awesome voice … the rest of the Band are all Angelic in their own right as well.. sad RIP to their guitarist w/the dark brown hair… he passed… Tom’s voice , I think was a Hereditary condition… I wish he would work on his voice, getting it back so the Cinderella Band could make a small reunion tour… their music was & always will be their own… it never sounded like anyone else’s… it was so original ……& Tom, you and the Band will always be ORIGINAL 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@mfi-cf7sp]

Tom is so humble yet so talented and artistic and beautiful as a person and he’s never let the good or the bad times fuck with him and I respect that 🖤 I hope he and Ms Savannah make pretty music together forever

[@stephenblake2196]

Very down to earth!! You got to be yourself!! MUSIC is never wrong BECAUSE IT'S YOUR'S ?? Taken peice's of others?? 80'S MUSICIANS took ROCK TO ANOTHER LEVEL!! UNMATCHED TILL THIS DAY!!! SO MANY GREAT MUSICIANS AND SONGS WERE FROM THE 80'S?? TIMELESS BECAUSE THEY STAND UP??

[@VisserBros10]

I like the love he's giving to the blues. So many guys try to play a million miles an hour and do the EVH thing. Not everyone has to play like Eddie.

[@lisabarnes457]

I always though Tom Keifer had a Steven Tyler influence in his vocals, though Tom didn't mimic anyone he has his own unique rocker voice. But the one tune I hear some hard rock Tyler vibes was in the awesome song (Nobody's Fool) I love it! Always will! I grew up 70's - 80's rock myself..fond memories of "Cinderella"🖤🎶🎸✌..much love to you and the guys Tom!

[@Night_stalkxer]

Tom will forever be my love i have such a huge crush on him he is such a talented and sweet person he will always be my heartthrob and man of my dreams, i love you so much tom.❤❤❤

[@sgonz2360]

Love his story...seems like such a likeable and humble guy. I have loved watching his videos with Cinderella for YEARS and feel lucky to know their music during their prime. Never got to see them live but I bought tickets for my kids to go see Cinderella, when they were touring near us. The whole event and tickets sorta fell into my lap, at the time. Sadly I had to work and didn't have enough $ for all of us anyway. SO glad the kids went and RAVED about their concert. Thanks so much for your talent Tom Keifer - as well as your whole band. I TRULY am one of your biggest fans 😍🤩

[@AlaskanPipelineable]

What I like the most is that Tom still sounds like he used to sound in the 80s

[@Bigmosquitos]

He sounds decent, but you can hear a difference at least when he goes into his screaming lyrics. Im not a big fan of screaming bands, but Tom sounds great when he sings normal too. I like bands with more of a raspy singer. like Joe Elliott.

[@tammysigmon853]

+Justin Traugott Do you listen to Cinderella? Tom's voice is way better than Joe Elliott could ever wish for.

[@Bigmosquitos]

Tammy Sigmon In the height of their career i prefer Joe over Tom. But later in age i prefer Tom over Joe. Its just a preference

[@denicecarlagordon3040]
