I think I know the reason... I read some interviews and apperantly the lead singer of Slaughter was talking shit about Cinderelle behind their backs whilst they toured together or something... I'll try to dig up those interviews, Tom got pretty pissed at the lead singer, I remember that....

Found it! This is directly taken from http://www.metalsludge.tv/

""But for those of you wondering why Eric went off about Slaughter, well then your a bunch of idiots. But Eric posted the following on AOL to explain why he said what he said.

i thought i should give you all a pre-warning about my answers so nobody gets in an uproar. i made a couple of harsh digs about slaughter and wanted to explain why. slaughter was our opening act on the european heartbreak tour. prior to starting, dana did an interview with a major european magazine stating that it was beneath them to have to open for cinderella and we sucked and they were the reason the tour was sold out. then went on to say how they would blow us off the stage. though i wanted to beat the living crap out of him at the time, we decided to just let it go. after doing two weeks of dates in the uk we dicided to cancel the rest of the tour due to the gulf war that just started. our reasons were obvious, we were concerned for the safety of everyone with us and the fans attending the shows. there had already been bomb threats and we were advised by the u.s. embassy to end the tour. also, it would have been a nightmare trying to get our gear through customs due to the heighted security. we couldn't get a flight back home and decided to charter a plane and actually flew slaughters crew and our people back home. slaughter stayed and did a promotional press tour in which they hammered us for cancelling, saying how we were wimps and whatever. so.., anyway, we had two months before the u.s. tour started, which they were booked for the first two weeks. day one of that tour, tom opens up a rip magazine to read an interview with mark slaughter dissing us again. tom physically grabbed him by the throat, slammed him against the wall and said, in harsher words than i can use here, if he had anything to say about us say it to our faces. mark, shaking and nearly in tears, tried to say they made it up. i don't have a problem with blas and thought tim was a nice guy. the other two, i can't stand.

Now your probably asking yourself, "Self, what was the comment that Bitch Boy Mark Slaughter made in Rip?" We're glad you asked. We went deep into the Metal Sludge Library where we keep thousands and thousands of stupid, old magazines and various other shit. We found the issue and here's the exact quote;

"The band was over-paranoid about the threat of terrorism. Shit, White Lion, Warrant and David Lee Roth are still going over there to play. And I wanted to play; so did the band. It was a chickenshit move." - Mark Slaughter, Rip Magazine, June 1991

Rip then asked Mark, in the November 1991 issue, if there was any fallout for making that comment.

"There was a confrontation. Tom Keifer came up to me and asked me if I really said that. And I replied, "Every word of it." I told him I said it because he'd slagged me in the beginning of the whole situation. You know, we had no beefs at all with Cinderella. I just think it's a matter of them not believing that I would stand up for what I believe to be the truth. They had their manager stepping in and creating more tension. Look, I have a lot of respect for the guys in Cinderella, but when somebody says something about me, what am I going to do? Bend over and reach for the soap? No, I don't do that. Talk to the next Zest boy over there."

Really? Well you bend over for Dana everyday, so it looks like your Mr. Zest Boy. And according to Eric, when Tom confronted you, you denied it and were almost in tears. Plus the entire music industry knows you have no nuts in your ball sack. But enough about Slaughter. This is Eric Brittingham's 15 minutes of fame, so let's get back to him.

Cinderella has a live album out called "Live At The Key Club." We think it's out, maybe not. Either way, go to the store and find out for yourself. For more info and shit like that, visit www.cinderella.net ""

Wow, so that's what happened >:(. I'd always thought that Mark and Dana are real nice guys. Especially Mark. I can't believe behind that angel face is a real whore. Maybe Tom should beat the two of them up with his guitar, or he can choke 'em up with his leopard printed scarf. I think that was Dana and Mark who had made Blas leave Slaughter. Fuck 'em up.
However, it's a good thing to know that Eric think Blas is a nice guy, since I love both of them till death :D. And even though Mark n Dana is bitches, I still love Slaughter for their music.
Thank you, Susan, for posting this. I love you till death too (I'm no gay, I swear!).

Hey, are you a slash fan too (and by slash, I didn't mean the sexy hairy guitarist of GN'R)? I prefer Tom/ Eric though. And maybe Eric/ Blas *salivate*. I'd once read a fic of Dana/Blas. That was terrible. My Blas. I'm gonna throw up now = =".

I love both bands as well. Whether they like one another is not of the essence. We're here to celebrate all those bands, so let's keep it fun!
