Welcome To A Really Rare Cinderella Clip
Monday, June 3, 2013 at 12:01AM We have our own Metalboy! to thank for this one! He sent me a link to this super rare clip of Cinderella doing "Shake Me" back in 1984. The clip is absolutely amazing. Check out how young Tom is... and oh his voice! Spectacular!

I never thought M.K.S. should've been axed.
These guys had their show worked out. (even the guitar spin lifted from the trick's creators from the same club circuit, "Monroe" ) They did it good, though.
Looks like they also had no choice but to recycle footage in the editing, reprising some scenes, not for effect, but out of necessity to fill in all the blanks to get it done quickly and on budget (which looks like $5). Still, that's what's cool about it!
Wild, too, is seein' that Britny Fox dude (before Britny Fox) in there as he was one of he original members. As much as I love Kiefer, I bet that dude split cuz Kiefer hogs up the leads though not as bad here as he duz with LeBar. AND what can ya say about Kiefer up in the balcony or wherever the hell he is all spread eagled! Priceless!
Any way you splice it, this vid is funny as h*ll AND BADASS as h*ll at the same time! I'm glad you all enjoyed it as much s I did.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to watch it again! TOO MUCH!!!
a lot of [positive] commentary will be forthcoming regarding tom keifer and his solo tour. let's hear it for the guy who defined glam metal.
I'm coming back...
...stay tuned. same bat time. same bat channel.
personal message to tom (again, thank you.) -yeah that was me.
One of the few albums I STILL listen to since the day I bought it when it came out!
p.s. Just a TINY sampling of a couple of albums I put in the same category, meaning -- "Still listening to since the day they came out": Crüe's 1st, Cheap Trick "In Color", RATT "Out of the Cellar", Poison, "Look What The Cat Dragged In", among others.
Last week-end, I had an uncommon, yet extraordinary, opportunity to attend two (2) of Tom Keifer's concerts supporting his highly anticipated solo disc, "The Way Life Goes." This is the second leg of his solo tour. I caught a show on the first leg a few months back at a bar in Philly. This second leg had me trekking out to the legendary Stone Pony beach side bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey. This is the bar where the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi cut some of their musical chops and are both known to occasionally show up there unexpectedly and jam with the bar band or play their own music anywhere from 1 song to a multiple-hour set.
Most ironic is that given over the years, I have been to almost every music concert hall or venue in the tri-state area (PA/NJ/NYC) as well as taking road trips to upstate New York (The Chance), Delaware (Froggy's and ), Maryland and Virginia (Jaxx), I have never been to The Stone Pony. I was almost excited to see the venue as I was to see Tom Keifer in concert (OK, that statement is a bit of a stretch, but not for the feign at heart).
What first stunned me about TSP was how small a club is was/is. The do have an outdoor summer stage for larger attendance shows, but the bar itself (and I write this affectionately) is pretty much (exclusively) a small, dinky "dive bar" with an uneven concrete floor (obviously due to high tide ocean waves) and having various shoulder, butt, head(?)holes in the walls caused by either overzealous (or overly drunk) patrons throughout the years. The kitchen was literally a walk-up, take out-only window where the "menu" choices were basic: hot dog or hot dog with cheese, hamburger or hamburger with cheese, nachos with cheese or nachos with extra cheese...you get the point. Again, merry christmas to me!
But as I sank emotionally deeper into this venue, I was awestruck by the rich musical history that enveloped the atmosphere and adorned the walls. There were hundreds of framed portraits screwed into the wall of musicians who played there. Many of them were (obviously) of Bruce Springsteen gracing the stage; both vintage and current. Also, the back wall was decorated with an array of a few hundred autographed guitars, signed by the many same artists whose faces covered the other walls. It was simply overwhelming, almost paralyzing... but in an breathtaking sort of way. The stage itself was small- both in height and square footage. I'm guessing it was about 2 feet high, 20 feet wide and 15 feet deep. There were no barriers separating patrons from stage/musicians and there was a relaxed, casual mix of employees as well as guests. The back garage-type door stayed open to allow for ocean-breeze ventilation as well as leading out to outside deck which is under construction. I assume that it was still under construction due to being devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
Tom went on stage at 10:30pm and played a solid 90 minutes
