Posted a poll about Ratt a few months ago, and now here's another  hair band...


About Cinderella:
Started out as strictly a glam band, but evolved into a much more bluesy, melodic band in the 90's. Became MTV darlings with a string of catchy singles and successful albums. Little label or media support slowed the band down in their later years, but they continue to have a loyal following.

  Members came and went during their formative years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, including Michael Kelly Smith who would later resurface in Britny Fox. By the time Jon Bon Jovi had discovered them and recording had started for what would become Night Songs the band was comprised of Tom Keifer (vocals/guitar), Jeff LaBar (guitar), Eric Brittingham (bass) and Fred Coury (drums). Success was instant, while they toured with some of the biggest names of the era the album shot up to #3 on the charts on its way to selling over three million copies behind such hits as "Nobody's Fool" and "Somebody Save Me".

  Long Cold Winter had similar success, with hits such as "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)", "Coming Home" and "Gypsy Road", before the group got more in touch with their bluesy roots for the third album, and then the bottom fell out. Heartbreak Station sold a disappointing (for Cinderella) one million copies, and by 1993 Coury left (joining Arcade) to be replaced by Kevin Valentine whom would himself leave half way through recording sessions for Still Climbing to make room for Ray Brinker. The group called it a day in 1995 and went their separate ways without much fanfare.

  The original band reformed in 1998 for the Unfinished Business tour and released a couple live albums. They continue to tour to this very day, but rumored new material has yet to come forward. In 2004 LaBar and Brittingham formed Naked Beggars while Keifer began work on a solo album as well as recording with American Idol alumni Bo Bice. Down, but never out, Cinderella will be sure to usher in the new wave of hard rock.

"Shake Me", "Nobody's Fool" and "Gypsy Road"

We have quite a few Cinderella tracks on Renegade Retro O0

  They were good to go...I compared Tom Kiefer's voice to Brian Johnson's.  Long, Cold Winter (w/ Bullet Boys & Winger) was one of the few concerts I've attended...

  Left them after LCW...

 

Don't Know What You Got (Til It's Gone) was mediocre, but I can't say as I was ever a fan.  I just couldn't get past the band name.  When you hear Cinderella, you think teen pop music princesses, not heavy metal rockers LOL

The video for "Shake Me" is classic  8)

I remember seeing them open for Bon Jovi!  :)

Hey, they are from New Jersey!!!!!!!!
