Tony Iommi’s cancer battle was an eye opener, but it was the death of Ronnie James Dio that really hammered it home for me: Living legends are dying. Malcom Young has officially retired, unable to play with AC/DC due to some unspecified ailment. Lemmy “ That’s the way I like it baby, I don’t want to live forever” Kilmister was forced off the road and into the hospital several times recently. Jeff Hanneman, Clive Burr, Lou Reed, Glenn Cornick, Allen Lanier, Tommy Ramone, Trevor Bolder, Johnny Winter… This shouldn’t be a surprise most of our 70’s hard rock heroes are somewhere in their 60’s, and as much as it pains me to point out, nobody lives forever.

While Cinderella's first three albums all went platinum, the domination of grunge and alternative rock in the mid-1990s was so strong that it forced Still Climbing to chart at a lowly #178 and drop out after a mere few weeks, despite featuring the minor hits "Bad Attitude Shuffle" (which was released as a single), "Hard to Find the Words", and "Hot & Bothered" from Wayne's World. The record company barely promoted it in order to test different markets, a pattern that would continue all throughout the rest of the 1990s and 2000s. ![]() ![]() The release of Still Climbing was delayed following the Heartbreak Station tour due to Tom Keifer losing his voice in 1991.ĭue to a new MTV policy, the album was not mentioned at the channel. Musically, it consists of more gritty blues-rock, following in the footsteps of their previous effort, Heartbreak Station. Still Climbing is the fourth and final studio album by American rock band Cinderella, released in 1994 by Mercury Records. ![]()
