Saw Tom in MD. Loved the show. Hope does a new Cinderella album.

[Bryon]

Great song! It wouldn't feel out of place on Heartbreak Station, which IMO, is Cinderella's best album.

[Gary]

That just flat out kicks ass. God that guy is a good songwriter...

[Kenny Ozz]

Love it. Cant wait to pick up the album. And he was GREAT in Cincinnati a few weeks ago as well.

[Jeff]

Good tune! Too bad it wasn't part of a new Cinderella record.

[gary]

I'll briefly come out of hiding for this. ladies and gentlemen...this is rock-n-roll! don't be fooled by imitators. don't second guess what you're experiencing. as some run-of-the-mill billionaire recently told me, "I gotta tell you, you're the exception to the rule." I replied, 'Duh! I keep trying to tell people that, but...they...just....won't...listen."

Well listen up to tom's keifer's solid ground (a smoothe variance of feet firmly planted 'in' the ground).

again people, you wanted rock and roll. you just got it. consider yourself very fuckin' lucky! very lucky!!!

support tom keifer and buy this song the the aforementioned album.

now with that. goodbye. check me out on other forums. I can still be the asshole when you require me to be. peace

[dj]

Its really good, i like cinderella better but atill slams hard and kicks ass

[Ace Steele]

Tom's voice certainly doesn't sound the same as it did, pre-surgery... It sounds better. Gone is the almost uncontrolled caterwauling in his delivery, in place of it is a tight compressed rasp.

Now tell me he's not channeling Rod Stewart doing "Every Picture Tells A Story" !

And damn if he doesn't know how to get the BEST recorded guitar sounds! GO Tom.

[florentine]

he should be much bigger then he is... like a steven tyler big.

[Metalboy!]

Ahhh, hate to be the party pooper here but this tune is just okay. I think it would be much better with the Cinderella "treatment". Let's hope Tom turns his attention to Cinderella now.

[Metalboy!]

But, no question about it, Kiefer is as Rock & Roll as Rock & Roll can get! What a legend and I personally told him exactly that last year on The Monsters of Rock Cruise!!!

[Snoot]

Great track! Looking forward to the the album.

[gary]

no pooping on this parade. it's my party and i'll rock if I want to. rock if I want to, rock if i want to, you would rock too, if it happened to you!

Tom: stay the current course. so far, so good (albeit, the cancellations on your solo tour and don't even get "me" started about your no-show on MOR cruise. oh yeah, I forgot, you were "sick"- what? no doctors, antibiotics or "steroids" on a cruise line? anyway, I disgress.

Tom: I am so stoked about your solo career now. Don't forget about Cinderella, but after 'fronting' [your] music and "your band" for so long, I am so supporting your solo effort right now...bar none!

trust me, I know it can be a pain in the ass dealing with an hyperactive jeff labar, who coupled with alcohol and (god knows what else) could put cc deville's partying to shame. I feel sorry a lot of times for deb, who has to deal with his rock star behavior full time. I'm sure (god love him), it is nightmarish.

Then, dealing with eric's alcohol addiction and cocaine exploits, might be bad enough (even though it's fun for you to dabble with him on occasion since you guys go way back), but who wants to deal with the 87 members of his extended family who want and demand first class treatment at every show. Sure, you do it once or twice, but then it becomes expected??? WTF! Who wants to deal with that? At least you got some of 'em quieting up on facebook and other websites and not speaking for you anymore. trust me. I noticed!

and fred??? jesus h christ! he truly believes that he should get the lion's share of cinderella...or at least his "fair" share. Um, to me, he was always a hired gun to begin with. that's why he got hired right before the release of NS and didn't even play on the first two albums and then, in a move to show his worth, he left cinderella to have the oh-so-stellar career in arcade.

sooooo, take it smoothe right now tom, stay frosty and when the time is right (you'll know it), get back and enjoy your work with cinderella, too. hell, even give carey his well-earned (snicker) back stage passes and front row seats...and throw some extra bones (money) to they guys. They've helped you this far. it's only being a true rock star, to do so. trust me.

[Gary (the other one!!)]

I hear ya gar. The guy is responsible for writing almost Cindy's whole catalog.He should be able to give it break and blow off a solo disc. Besides Fred, Eric and Jeff had the whole Naked Beggars thing.(That worked out real well) They were playing 250 seat bars here in my neck of the woods in PA. (It was cool to see them that up close and personal,however)

But I sincerely hope they do get back together once he gets this out of his system,'cause they are a fuckin' powerhouse when the 4 of them are firing on all cylinders.

[gary]

fred wasn't in NB. side note, they took the name from making fun of a PA stripper. some old man at the strip bar commented to another patron about the entertainment..."She ain't nuttin' but a naked beggar."

I saw them where they headlined and performed for 5 people (myself included) and three patrons even left after the frist few songs. Then it was 2 of us...and I stayed for the entire set (out of catholic guilt) even though I was embarressed as hell... and even then, eric still wouldn't give me the time of day afterward and blew me off at the bar. what do you have to say about your precious son-in-law, carey? he can be a real fuckin' prick. inga was cool and gave me a respectful nod and apolegetic shrug (while eric wasn't looking, of course). really, eric? I'm the one you wanted to take on? no wonder tom is currently solo. I don't blame him at all.

[fletch]

...like those [assholes] at the strip bar were -thee- prize.

life is too funny sometimes. and sometimes, just too funny. y'know?

[Chris Holzhauer]

Good song. I already have the disc on my amazon.com wish list.

[Gary]

I meant besides Fred doing the Arcade thing! LOl. And that's unfucking real that Eric would cop an attiude after playing to 2 people? Sounds like a real douche nozzle. They played Goodfella's in Pottsville,PA (about 8 miles from me) a few times,and also The Coal Hole in Shamokin,Pa which is about 20 miles from me. I caught them at Goodfella's once, and they were good. Inga seemed like a really cool girl?

As for how they got the name, that's CLASSIC!!!!!I never knew that!

[gary]

inga is very cool. so is deb. if only they can get their husbands in line. :]

BTW, the bar where I saw them was the Sterling in Allentown, PA. I'm sure you've heard of it. Local act, live wire, (not "thee" Live Wyre- AC/DC tribute) but local "live wire" who perform a lot of ac/dc, opened for them and had about 50 people there; mostly friends and family and when they left the stage, so did their following. leaving me, a girl who LOVED cinderella (and inga) and three guys who (again), left after a few songs.

Yeah, when eric blew me off big time (I had album cover and sharpie in hand) and was about to buy the band a round (as I did earlier on the down low), but when he blew me off, I thought, Hmmm...this will take a while, but I'll fuck with him at some point. I guess now is the point.

anyway...next time I run into him with my sharpie and vinyl album cover, he will probably sign it graciously. who knows. actually, who cares.

[Metalboy!]

Weird. Brittingham's has been nothin' but nice to me on The MORCs. This last time he actually said, "Howzit goin'?" to me before I could.

Of course, that may have sumthin' to do with the fact that I told each member individually, save for LeBar, though I want to tell him the same regardless of he and I almost gettin' into a scurfuffle in the boat's cafeteria last year, and that is, "You're a legend."

If you've seen Cinderella firing on all pistons, which I have had the pleasure of experiencing all 3 times I have seen 'em, well, then YOU KNOW they're one of THE MOST Bada*s Bands on the planet.

Though I don't question for a moment that Tom Keifer is incredible solo live and that his new record is incredible, I do hope he'll make the effort to work with the boyz to put out a new Cinderella album.

Granted, I'm only judging him from the recent solo gig vids, but isn't this a similar situation to Jagger, someone Keifer emulates just as Tyler does (though Tyler duzn't resemble Jagger as much as Tom)?

Jagger's great and all solo, but he's SO MUCH better with The Stones. I get the situation is not identical as Richards and Wood obviously contribute significantly more than LeBar and Brittingham contribute to Cinderella.

I contend Keifer is better in Cinderella than solo. He just oughtta come up with some new tunes for Cinderella on par or better than his solo stuff. That would make the fans AND the band happy. Hell, I had Brittingham tell me personally on MORC, out of earshot of everyone, and I quote, "I would LOVE to get back in the studio."

So, Tom, once and for all, for the fans, for the band, hell, for yourself, put out a new Cinderella album. Sure, it might shock a few of us but it also just might, against all odds, shock the World! Whatever it does, you can bet it will be a helluvan album!
