In 1985, Schermick and Destra left Cinderella to join Britny Fox (another Pennsylvania-based hard rock band). They were replaced by guitarist Jeff LaBar and drummer Jim Drnec. It was this lineup that recorded their first album, 'Night Songs' (although the drums were played by session drummer Jody Cortez).
Shortly after the recording, Drnec was replaced by (former London drummer) Fred Coury, who joined in time to be included as the drummer of record in the album's liner notes. The album, released in August 1986 went on to become triple Platinum, selling 50,000 copies per week at one point.
During the Night Songs tour, Cinderella were exposed to a very large audience opening for Bon Jovi (on their tour for Slippery When Wet) and David Lee Roth (on tour for support his Eat 'Em and Smile album).
Cinderella's second album, 'Long Cold Winter', was released in 1988. The 254-show tour to support it lasted over 14 months and included dates on the Moscow Music Peace Festival along side other glam metal heavyweights such as Ozzy Osbourne, The Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, and Skid Row. A highlight of the tour's stage show featured Keifer being lowered to the stage while playing a white piano during their radio hit Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone.
Their third album, 'Heartbreak Station' was released in 1990 and featured songs much more heavily influenced by Keifer's love of the blues. Following the accompanying tour, Fred Coury left the band and joined former Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy in a band called Arcade.
Additionally, Keifer began experiencing problems with his voice after the tour and underwent several operations. This added to delays in recording of their fourth album. In 1994, they finally released 'Still Climbing', but with little support from their label and none from MTV. The album quickly disappeared from the charts.
Cinderella reunited in 1997 and toured the United States in the following year. That same year, Mercury Records released a greatest hits compilation titled Once Upon a.... In 1999, Live at the Key Club was releasd through Cleopatra records. Around this time they were signed by John Kalodner to Portrait/(Sony) Records. Unfortunately, they were dropped by the label before a new album could be released. They toured again in 2000 and 2002.
In 2005 Mercury Records released the compilation 'Rocked, Wired & Bluesed: The Greatest Hits' on CD and DVD.
In the Summer 2006, CInderella toured with fellow glam metal rockers Poison to celebrate the 20th anniversary of both bands' first albums. "Night Songs" and "Look What The Cat Dragged In" were both released in 1986. The tour is a rousing success and has swiftly become one of the most successful tours of 2006, averaging about 20 thousand people in attendance per night.
On July 14th 2021, guitarist Jeff LaBar was found dead by his wife after being MIA for days. He was only
58 years old.

Cinderella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the chips are low
Can't buy enough
So we steal the show
We get so hot
We can't cool down
So the hell with that
We're rippin' through your town
We've had enough of the raw deals
Hit the road and tell ya how it feels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
We live fast
But we love it so
Can't see the past
But it's gone we know
We get so hot
We can't cool down
So the hell with that
We're burnin' through your town
We've had enough of the raw deals
Hit the road and tell ya how it feels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Run like hell
Hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
In the lyrics to Cinderella's song "Hell on Wheels," the band portrays a rebellious attitude towards life's challenges and setbacks. The opening lines suggest that even when everything is against them and they don't have enough, they still manage to steal the show by hanging tough. The chorus "We've had enough of the raw deals, Hit the road and tell ya how it feels, Like hell on wheels" is a declaration of their determination to overcome any obstacle and take on the world at full speed. The lyrics suggest that they choose to live in the moment, without regrets or looking too far into the past, knowing that whatever they have gone through they can't change it.
The repeated line "We get so hot, we can't cool down, so the hell with that, we're rippin' through your town" implies that the band is on fire and unstoppable. The chorus repeats several times emphasizing that they are a force to be reckoned with, and nothing will stand in their way. The bridge section "Run like hell" gives a sense of urgency and encourages people to join them on their journey, which is like hell on wheels, chaotic, fast-paced and exciting.
Overall, "Hell on Wheels" is about living fast, enjoying the moment and not letting anything hold you back. Cinderella shows us that with determination and a rebellious spirit, anything is possible.

on Bato sa buhangin
Kapag ang puso'y natutong magmahal
Bawat tibok ay may kulay at buhay
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Bato sa buhangin
Oh ah
