Guns N’ Roses and Cinderella
anomit | May 3, 2009I have never understood why Axl Rose got all the fame and fortune lavished on him while Tom Keifer was left to rot away in one forgotten corner of the memory of rock lovers. The sound of both the bands were a welcome departure from the generic hard rocking music of the 80s, if I’m to believe all those who lived through that era.
Now, the music of Guns N’ Roses is described as something to be like gritty, slick, dirty, street-smart and unpolished contrary to the kind that was being churned out by the pop metal bands of the day. So why forget Cinderella? Here is a band whose frontman was hugely influenced by the Blues records from Delta Records, who happened to sing tracks heavily inspired by both R&B and C&W genres with a hint of hard rock like Bad Seamstress Blues, One for Rock ‘n Roll, Dead Man’s Road and a lot of them!
Why oh why?
I agree completely! I would venture that Cinderella was
