RIP Jeff. You are missed. I love the band Cinderella. I always have, always will. 🎸🎸🎸🎸

I was a cook in a Nashville restaurant in 2018. The guy who worked beside me was Jeff LeBar.I asked him what he did before this job and he said he was a guitar player. Didn't know till months after I quit that job that he played for Cinderella.

@@danielfranklin7179 I think Eric Brittingham, the bassist went to live in the Nashville area first but I'm not sure. He went there after grunge took over metal in popularity I guess around 1993, he probably picked Nashville because he could continue playing and recording. Maybe it helped Jeff to go to your area too. I'm from the south Jersey area and saw Cinderella at the Galaxy Club there just before they got signed (1986). They seemed larger than life. When I see these things on KZread I get very nostaglic for that time period. I was into it and I was a bassist in some bands over the years. And then I see some of them pass away and that part kinda sucks, but that's the way life is.

Yes I saw them just before the album came out at a club called The Galaxy in southern NJ. It was around March 1986. Before they became stars they were playing there regularly and Philly, and northern NJ so I guess Bon Jovi saw them and helped them with Polygram as reported here. RIP Jeff Labar.

Keep posting more like these 😍😍

Me, my son and little grandsons stumbled upon him and cheap thrill in a riverfront Cincinnati park one day. We were right in front of Jeff. They were amazing. I later saw sign for Tom keifer at a local church parish festival. Huge fan ever since. Think Boston singer played that night too Fran Cosmo.

So bummed about losing Jeff. (watched til the end, btw) Cinderella was a big band for me but I never really knew Jeff was having all of those issues.

My brother got to see Cinderella opening for David Lee Roth in '86. I had been a lifelong fan since the "Long Cold Winter" tour. He seemed like an Awesome Guy and was an Awesome Guitarist.

Greatly missed brother. Opened for Cinderella quite a while ago. Jeff was a great guy great guitarist & always looked great onstage.

My girlfriend won first row seats to Cinderella opening for Bon Jovi. In 86 or 87. I liked Cinderella I had night songs. But I didn’t own Bon Jovi. I was like I’m over this pop metal thing. But the girls loved it. I was into Metallica Guns n. Roses. The cult. It was such a shiny glamour spectacle. The next year I saw janes addiction open for love snd rockets. I was blown away with janes. It was crazy wild. They were so cracked out they scared the goth crowd literally

A few of them can be placed in the Classic rock category though. I mean at least some of their songs are classics.

Jeff should been rich.... Great guitarist. Great great underated band. Tom perseveres ... Fantastic frontman, a real deal artist / vocalist.

I can understand why he would’ve suffered depression after the break up of the band. Being right on top there with the band and then having to work a pizza shop and construction to make ends meet. I mean how humiliating that must’ve been for him. No wonder the poor guy was depressed. 😢.

Man, I remember that tour! They were all staying at a hotel here in Amarillo. I had seen the buses outside so I hung around the lobby. Ran into Mark Torien from Bulletboys on his way to McDonalds next door. I offered to buy his lunch and sit with him. About 30 minutes later, the keyboard player from Winger (can't think of his name) joined us. Later, walking back towards the hotel parking lot, ran into Fred Coury and Jeff LeBar. That was one of the best days ever! Still have all their autographs! That was a great concert too!

Wowww i really it keep it up

Cinderella is only a glam band because of the time frame they were in. They are closer to an Aerosmith/Guns n Roses, definitely NOT a glam band for sure.

My buddies and I go down to Keokuk IA every year for over 20 years to golf. On Friday Nite we went to the Cellar restaurant to get some prime rib. We walked in and saw a large group of "Rockers". It was 8-9 of them. One of the guys looked like a poor man's Vince Neal. We were half way through our meal when my buddie who sat facing those guys said to me, "Thats Jeff Labar". I turned and looked at the Vince Neal wannabe and said, "Dude....thats not Labar". My buddy keeps on staring over. He sees them finishing their meal and was all getting ready to leave. So he gets up and walks over. I didnt hear what my buddy said. But I saw his lips and it says..."Are you Jeff Labar?". They guy nodded. Damn. My buddy was right. So now I go over to talk to them. A taller blonde guy, who said his name was Eric Brittingham, said if we didnt have plans, go see then play an acoustic set a few doors down. Took some pictures and left. Kater we paid $12 for tickets. We stood about 10ft from them as they sung some Cinderella songs. I will tell this story until I die.

1921 huh ...

FYI both KISS and Bon Jovi were on the same record label in the 80s, Mercury/PolyGram, which is the same label Cinderella signed with. The reason they didn't take Gene Simmons' offer is because he wanted them to sign to a production deal and record songs that he wrote. Please get your facts straight, even if you are a robot.
