Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
Smart move for him to give up that harsh, nasal tone that probably destroyed his voice.
He actually has a really nice "normal" singing voice and it serves it well him in this very recent clip.

BUT, and I know it's been commented upon before, but why the fuck do these knuckleheads have to continually insert their mostly-untalented wives into the proceedings?
Paul McCartney, Colin Hay, and countless others do it. It's annoying and unnecessary.
And, it has to be said, having your water buffalo-sized wife placed on a comparatively tiny and precarious wooden stool, isn't a smart move in the perceptual physics of it all -- and it creates anxiety about the tensile strength of the stool.
Stop it, Tom.

He sounds good there, early on. I agree he should do more in that register and drop the screeching at the end

Does he do that country song from Heartbreak Station in his current set? That's in his normal register.

Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
The "duet" with his wife is beyond cringe......... I get 2nd hand "douch chills" just watching it on video. Keifer needs to drop the duet, or at least sing it with the other/Milfy looking back-up singer. Savannah seems to have perpetual RBF (resting bitch face), and the duet is as romantic/sexy as kissing your Grandmother.

These guys include their wives simply because they are afraid of them.
Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
Woman's flat as fuck. Fine bringing your woman on stage, but she needs to perform at your level.
...gotta be weird as an aging rocker tho. I am sure she was hot when they met, but now they are both older...and he could do better.
I dunno. Maybe she has an amazing personality...

She looks like the kind of woman who sits alone in a bar during the day, complains that she can't smoke indoors anymore, tries to get every single male who walks into the place to buy her a drink, closes her eyes and sways back and forth every time a Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks song comes up on the jukebox and invariably starts crying out of the blue.

Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
I'm gettin' older, too
'Cause I've built my life around you

Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
I watched the video without reading the original comment and I was deciding whether to comment on her looks but then I read the comment and yeah "water buffalo sized wife" is pretty much nailing it. At least Bruce Kulick got the hint and more or less stopped performing with his water buffalo. Dude, youre Tom Keifer of Cinderella ... you can pull way better looking chicks than this. It is like you're married to your Grandmother. WTF. I just saw a picture of DJ Ashba with his girlfriend and she's hot as hell. Like smokin hot. Obviously, Toms no spring chicken but he's not fat. He could definitely pull some chick that is way hotter than that. I don't get it. Time for an upgrade Tom.
Does Tom not get along with Eric and Fred? Why is Cinderella broken up anyway? I mean just put it back together under the Cinderella name and get paid. Isn't it Toms band?

Maybe Tom is happy with his marriage and loves the mother of his child.

Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
This 100%. I think every one of his fans would be fine with him giving up the screeching falsetto that was his trademark back in the day. In fact, using his high register dates the songs. The first half of the song sounded great....the second half....not so much.Tyketto Meniketti wrote: ↑Mon Sep 08, 2025 3:17 pm He sounds good there, early on.

Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
Super cringe!!
This is rock and roll baby, bring out the babes!!
Who is managing this guy? That need a complete reboot apparently. Fire 'em all!!
He does sound better, I listened to one of his more recent albums a few months ago and recall thinking his voice sounded really strange, like axl rose vibes kinda thing.
Can we get isolated wife vocals? I am in need of a good laugh.

It's good to be bad
It's the best time you'll ever have
What the hell is this ultra sad
Pray for your cool and work on that ass!

I prefer him plus an acoustic guitar over him plus a piano -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M69LdDFbY0c

Re: Tom Keifer Sings Well Here (But WHY the Wife?)
I’m certain Tom does good business for what he’s doing right now ,but his old lady making concessions and injecting herself within the shows such a detriment to the business Tom could be doing with Cinderella. Being said, his lady will be the ultimate item that stops any level of reading aggression. She finally got famous in her mind singing songs with Tom and will manipulate everything in her being to keep that position.
