wow . . . talk about a down to earth, positive guy. Great interview. I'm a huge Cinderella / Tom Keifer fan and to hear him talk about Tom's solo band the way he does, is awesome . . . sounds like the world needs more people like Fred.

Thanks for sharing

Funny thing is, Jeff and Eric(Cinderella)"motherfuck" Fred at the drop of a hat. It seems as if Fred stays to himself a lot and doesn't hang with the band much.

I dug Arcade when they came out, Fred has a lot of interesting stuff to say.

I never realised he joined Cinderella just as they were about to take off, that's pretty handy.

Didn't I hear things about him really "not playing" on albums or something? Similar to Alec Jon Such of Bon Jovi?

You read correct. Fred didn't finally play on a Cinderella album until "Heartbreak Station". The reason for Fred not playing prior had to do with their producer at the time, Andy Johns, who seemed to have issues with drummers. Shoot, Cozy Powell did some sessions with Cinderella for the Long Cold Winter album and Andy had a problem with him too!
