Milijenko Matijevich is the singer of Steelheart. Mili almost lost his life on Halloween 1992. Slaughter asked Steelheart to open for them. It was Slaughter's last show of their tour. Mili climbed up on a 1,000 lbs lighting truss that wasn't secured properly. He tried to get of the way but it came down on him and the was the end of Steelheart. Mili had serious facial and back injuries. Years later he got asked to be Mark Wahlberg's singing voice in the movie Rock Star and he said yes. Over the years Mili and Steelheart play at all kinds of venues. Occasionally band members change but Steelheart is Mili's life and blood. I believe he has a 5.5 octave range which is almost unheard of. He still hits those notes and loves his fans. And yes, you were correct. He is from Croatia. In their hayday, Mili changed his name to Mike but after his dad died he changed it back to Milijenko. :}
Steelhart is one of these great bands, that emerged in the late 80s/early 90s and never reached the success they deserved, because they were overshadowed by the grunge hype.
Their song “Can’t Stop Me Lovin’” you is awesome. The singer, Miljenko Matijević, had a terrible stage accident in 1992 while touring for their second album. On Halloween night in 1992 while performing in Denver a 1,000# lighting truss fell hitting him in the back of his head smashing his face into the stage floor. He broke his nose, jaw, cheekbone, and had traumatic brain injury. It took him a couple of years or so to recover. He did a 30th Anniversary duet of “(Angel Eyes) I’ll Never Let You Go” with his daughter, SteviAnn.
I still remember buying this this Steelheart album when it first hit the record store at my local mall back in 1990...it feels like it was yesterday pulling the cassette of the shelf...Their music has been there for me with relationships throughout the years and has never failed me....I will never forget these guys...pure rock, sensuality and emotion
Moriah Formica, the lead singer of the all-girl rock band PLUSH, did a solo cover of this, and nailed every note perfectly. Even the singer for Steelheart said she impressed him.
No they dispersed in the early nineties and then they came out with a 30th year anniversary back in 2019 I believe we did some of the songs slightly different . You can even check out She's Gone live by Steelheart he hits the notes spot on live as well is from MTV Unplugged
I like the way you do your reactions. You don't pause the video every 30 seconds and talk for minutes at a time. You also don't try to talk over the song. I just subscribed because you rock. Love your style.
Miljenko probably has the best and highest Male Vocal of all time, he still sounds great I’ve seen them live several times at an 80s Festival I go to each year, slaughter plays there and they sounded great until about two years ago, Great to see so many 80s bands out touring so many years later, great to hear that 80s metal live
I played drums and sang in hair bands in the 80s & early 90s but i could never do this song...I could do FIREHOUSE "Love of a life time" miss those days now at 63 in 2024
You're on point with the comparison to Slaughter, both front men have phenomenal upper range talent. They aren't the same singer though-- Mark Slaughter serving up tunes for Slaughter, and Miljenko Matijevic (Milly or Matty for short) for Steelheart. As a side note for Steelheart, they served as the band that's heard in the 2001 motion picture Rock Star, starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. It's Milly doing the singing for fictional rock group Steel Dragon in the movie.
Mark Slaughter was the lead of Slaughter. Have to tell you, you’re so hot, flashback to my 1980’s lol. This song hit hard! Going through a breakup right now, been avoiding this song but allowed my guard to drop to listen to it and your take. Never underestimate power ballads!!!
@77magakill, Miljenko wasn't the only singer who provided vocals on the songs in the movie soundtrack Rockstar! Jeff Scott Soto split the vocal duties with Miljenko on the tunes also including one of the biggest songs in the movie called "Stand Up." Just saying.. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘
@@dannydickerson862 You're right to a point, Miljenko did sing on a few of those soundtracks in the movie Rockstar but not all of them my friend.

Great song, great reaction.I that song on my playlist. The hair bands are the best. Another hair band you’ll like is Skid Row. Maybe do “18 And Life” from Skid Row. They have many more great songs. But that would be a great song to start with.
They were one of my favorite bands from the 80s Glam scene. The van was a little underrated they definitely had a following. And they are still around to this day play I don't know how many albums they put out. But I have most of them. They did the soundtrack for the movie rockstar with Mark Wahlberg
I haven't heard this song for quite a while. I actually forgot the name of the band. Shame on me. Here are just a few suggestions that I hope you will checkout and react to. Let the music play.

Jeff Tate,was good sabastion bach was ok. Even rob haltord from preist and steve perry but come on none of these singers was even in this guys legue.being a vocalist myself neither am i....
Absolutely the most underrated vocalist of the 80’s hair bands!

Actually, the lead singer had a trragic accident on stage and railroaded their career for awhile.

Their unplugged version of She’s Gone is incredible.
That song always gives me chills. I think it's their best. Just amazing.
All while chewing gum :)
Absolutely love this song!! Such a killer vocal…unbelievable range and emotion. Stealheart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many underrated vocalists in this time period. Steelheart, Skid Row, Warrant...gen x had the best music of all time.

I remember the first time I heard Steelheart, I couldnt believe a man could hit those notes. Its crazy good
He sang the vocals for Marc Whalberg in movie Rockstar
Its 80s just look at the badass drum set gives it away!
Moriah Formica, the lead singer of the all-girl rock band PLUSH, did a solo cover of this, and nailed every note perfectly. Even the singer for Steelheart said she impressed him.
I’ve seen her doing that, she is great.
Yes she definitely did
This guy has the best vocals for hair metal period! Nobody tops him!
He and Swedish singer Tommy Johansson are the best singers I've ever heard!
im 59 years old and a big steel heart fan, and your just gorgous. 80's was great. miss the 80's
This song is known to the entire world for their super high note ,, watching from Malaysia
Him and Sebastian Bach 2 of best late 80’s early 90s voices ever 💯❤️✌️🤘🍺
Can't leave out Mark Slaughter. Those 3 are the best
Don dokken n early years was hard to beat
Hey baby.that singer from steel heart is by far the best who ever picked a mic up.yes ive been a steel heart fan since the 80s
Thaes are the best ever bands and there's no one that will ever sound and sing like this
No they dispersed in the early nineties and then they came out with a 30th year anniversary back in 2019 I believe we did some of the songs slightly different .
You can even check out She's Gone live by Steelheart he hits the notes spot on live as well is from MTV Unplugged

Singer from slaughter is good but it has nothing on this guy
Mark Slaughter had the range, not near the power.
Miljenko probably has the best and highest Male Vocal of all time, he still sounds great I’ve seen them live several times at an 80s Festival I go to each year, slaughter plays there and they sounded great until about two years ago, Great to see so many 80s bands out touring so many years later, great to hear that 80s metal live

Jamies's eyes are drop dead gorgeous
Watch his song, She's Gone!!!
I'm so happy I lived this era, great stuff~
Jamie you and that song have something in common. Both are very beautiful creations!
Awwwww thank you so much!!! ❤️

The big three voices of the 80's were this guy, Sebastion Bach from Skid Row, and Jeff Tate from Queensryche
Checkout Queensryche- Take Hold of the Flame live from Tokyo Japan..... Geoff Tate is another awesome singer from the 80's. +
Listen to Queensrÿche take hold of the flame live in Tokyo you won’t regret it
Jamie could be viral just cause of her beauty..💯💯
Oh my God, you just made my evening.Thank you so much.You are so kind.My friend
. I wish you love and light x o x l
@@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957 I’ll do anything you ask
He was the person who sang the songs for the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg.
Except for the Verve Pipe song
@77magakill, Miljenko wasn't the only singer who provided vocals on the songs in the movie soundtrack Rockstar!

She's gone is a banger!!! Please do next
Steelheart did all the music for the movie ROCKSTAR Starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Anniston. If you have'nt' seen it you should check it out.
Actually Miljenko did the singing that was supposed to be Mark Wahlberg with Zak Wylde on guitar, Jeff Pilson on bass and Jason Bonham on drums

Another incredible multi octave vocal is Always There for You by Stryper…check it out.
He’s probably the best vocalist ever!
He can still sing like this seen him live a few years back.
Yes she definitely did
Miljenko Matijević was born in Zagreb and went to America with his parents as a child.
They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Yes love steel heart and Mark slaughter is the lead singer for slaughter
Sad what happened to him. Having the stage fall on him was the turning point. He was never the same after the brain injury.
2:21 I'm 60 Years Old and this Song ALWAYS makes Me CRY . Only REAL Men Understand what is Truly being said in this Song.....
Check out the incredible drum kit!
His voice was used in the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg
If you saw the Rock Star movie with mark Wahlberg, you heard him sing before. He did most of Steel Dragons singing.
Dio rules
You look like you could be in the video you rock he's a badass keep rocking love your style
Miljenko's voice could power a nuclear reactor. John Fowler the drummer passed away.
The last picture you had up is the more current picture of Steelheart as it is today 😊
Next steelheart " wait " please , really love your channel thankyou🎉
It was a different life in the 80s and 90s. Even I had my fame in that era.
I see that you do a lot of cover bands. Check out Halocene ft. Sershen and Saritskaya “Kickstart My Heart”. You will love both of them
Love me some Frank DiCostanzo on guitar - genius!
The Croatian rocker 🎉
If you ever watched the movie Rockstar he was the vocalist for Mark
Please try to review their song "Can't stop me lovin' you" as well
Steelheart was one of the last hair bands before grunge took over. That is main reason ppl never heard of them
Great song, great reaction.I that song on my playlist. The hair bands are the best. Another hair band you’ll like is Skid Row. Maybe do “18 And Life” from Skid Row. They have many more great songs. But that would be a great song to start with.
Sempurna...aku suka lagu ini
Vocal Range: F2-B5 (3 Octaves + 6 Semitones). He hit a C#5 in this song.
They were one of my favorite bands from the 80s Glam scene. The van was a little underrated they definitely had a following. And they are still around to this day play I don't know how many albums they put out. But I have most of them. They did the soundtrack for the movie rockstar with Mark Wahlberg

TnT , Steelheart, Firehouse
No auto tune kids that's called singing!
Watch steelheart she s gone. Will blow your mind
Late 80's. Early 90's.
it was released in 1990, consider as early 90s
They r still playn and touring😊
He has one of the highest range voices I kno that can carry a pitch that long
🎉❤🎉...
Check out "Static Acts" from Fates Warning, the Perfect Symmetry album
👍👍Excellent. 🖖❤
Welcome to the 80's.
Funny thing is at about 60 yrs old he still sounds like that
Mentira, ya no canta así ni tampoco llega a esas notas tan agudas👀
I believe it was released in 89
If you like this you'll love She's Gone by Steelheart also
Mark slaughter is the singer for slaughter. Fly to the angels is a great song from slaughter.
Mark Slaughter is good, but could only wish that he had Miljenko's voice!!!
try Can't stop me loving you
You're gorgeous❣
Thank you!!
Just remember the progressive metal Queensryche,Fates Warning, and Dreamtheater paved the he way for
Brah yeah he’s really good next to Geoff Tate and David Glen Eisley.
Lead singer from Slaughter is Marc Slaughter..hence the band's name . Not this guy.
🔥🥰🔥MUST react to “She’s Gone” original video!! FIRE♥️
He had a stack of speakers fall on him and he had to rehab his throat
Actually, a lighting truss fell on him
Do Cinderella
One reactor said
From his neck to his waist is nothing but lungs
Have you listened to BOSTON? Pick any of their songs!
He is not from Slaughter
