Walk Like an Eqyptian is my all-time fave of theirs.  Cool video, catchy tune, what's not to love?

This thread needs more Vixen. Leave hair metal to people who are naturally gifted for it.

... and then of course, to add confusion - and sweet talk, there is Michael Sweet.

He looked like a girl, sang like a girl and dressed like a girl, that's for sure.

Uh...what?

I was wondering the same thing. He can't be talking about the guy from Stryper, can he?

Maybe he means the bassist for the Sweet.

Sorry, that's Stryper, yes.

80's girl bands, gotta love them.
My first girlfriend was a big NKOTB fan,  so I just knew that AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Krokus and Dio would'nt 'do it' for her.

Cinderella had just put out night songs, so I made a tape of the album on one side and 'nobody's fool'  repeated on the other side.
90 minutes later and she was mine.

It didn't last, but I've always had a soft spot for them - Tom really sang well (even live, give moscow peace a listen) and wrote good songs.

Looking back, a kid pointing out NKOTB as sissies and thinking Cinderella looked really tough, well....

I saw Cinderella open for AC/DC in 1988 and they were really good. In my opinion they were one of the few good hair bands and they could actually play. I was impressed. That was a fun night for sure!
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

I was never into the hair band thing, so obviously thought Cinderella were a joke. But, Tom Keifer was recently on Letterman, and I was really impressed the the Faces-style rock he was doing. Cool voice.

Didn't Keifer buy Ron Wood's Zemaitis guitar that was used on "Stay With Me"?

Okay, but I don't get it.

OTOH I still think that Suzi Quatro and Rick Derringer are one and the same.  ;)

Possibly, his guitar collection is well known. It´s well worth checking out early cinderella footage just to see him throw
50´s les paul standards and telecasters across the stage between numbers, trusting the tech to catch it...

But I must say it surprised me to see him demonstrate his les paul (58 or 59?) recently, he talked about how wonderful the tone was, and played it through a G-deck or some crappy modelling amp. I don´t get it...

I know I fit in here somehow!  ;D



I loves me the hair metal.........................No apologies  ;)

McCartney tosses his Hofner off the stage every night, at a different time, the same way.  His tech has never missed.
