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 ↴
beaten every step of the way
lived by the glass
and got a little ass
three or four times a day
Well, I've seen blood like Noah's flood
I think its gonna take us away
Hells come back to stay
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
Feelin' down low, time to let go
you're only as good as you please
Walk before you crawl, make the last call
You need it like a social disease
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
In from the outside
I've been loved and I've been shoved
Beaten every step of the way
Lived by the glass
And got a little ass
Three or four times a day
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
In from the outside
The lyrics to Cinderella's song "In From The Outside" reflect the struggles of someone who has been mistreated and disrespected in life, but has finally reached a point where they are tired of it all. The first verse describes the various forms of abuse the person has endured, both physically and emotionally. The line "lived by the glass and got a little ass three or four times a day" could be interpreted as the person being objectified and used for someone else's pleasure. Despite all the pain and suffering, the chorus suggests that the person has finally decided to come in from the outside and take control of their life.
The second verse speaks to the idea of self-respect and the importance of letting go of toxic people and situations. The line "you're only as good as you please" suggests that the person should prioritize their own well-being and not seek validation from others. The reference to a "social disease" implies that the person has been infected by negative influences and that it's time to make a change. Once again, the chorus emphasizes the person's decision to take control of their life and come in from the outside.
Overall, "In From The Outside" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to take control of their lives and find happiness and fulfillment on their own terms.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been loved and I've been shoved
I have experienced both love and abuse in my life
Beaten every step of the way
I have faced many obstacles in my life and have been pushed down by others repeatedly
Lived by the glass
I have lived in a world that revolves around beauty and have been judged by my appearance
And got a little ass
But despite it all, I have still managed to have moments of pleasure and indulgence
Three or four times a day
Though these moments of happiness have been fleeting
Well, I've seen blood like Noah's flood
I have seen destruction and chaos that is reminiscent of the Biblical flood
I think its gonna take us away
I fear that the world is spiraling out of control and we are doomed
Tellin' you should listen real good
I urge you to pay attention to the warning signs
Hells come back to stay
We are in a dark and difficult time and things might not get better anytime soon
Well you can't take it with you
Because life is short and unpredictable
Its a one way ride
We only get one chance at life
Baby's had enough of lookin'
I am tired of living in a superficial world that values appearance over substance
In from the outside
I am trying to move past my past experiences and find a place for myself in the world
Feelin' down low, time to let go
I am feeling depressed and it is time for me to move on from the past
you're only as good as you please
I should only care about living up to my own standards and not others' expectations
Walk before you crawl, make the last call
I need to slow down and make thoughtful decisions before it is too late
You need it like a social disease
I have become addicted to the superficial and unhealthy aspects of society

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
