First Reaction ~ Steelheart ~ I'll Never Let You Go

[@rdb6449]

Absolutely the most underrated vocalist of the 80’s hair bands!

[@venusdistorted5170]

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. :}

[@angelesmith6872]

Miljenko ans Steelheart are not and never were at an end...he just nneded time to recover from what really should have completely destoyed his body, but, all the tragedy just made him stronger and more determined. With the vocal prowess that he posseses, even to this day, he should be a legend!! I have never been to one of their concerts, but would go if they play anywhere near Boston!

[@LauraemccarthyM]

Never really knew who they were until Rockstar movie. So good

[@KevOBannon]

The 80s will always be the best no matter what till this day

[@martinmarenov7460]

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.

[@blcksmth]

Actually, the lead singer had a trragic accident on stage and railroaded their career for awhile. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZorRdKF8famDr6M

[@stevenewcomer8837]

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.

[@phillipmullineaux9641]

80s music, songs, prettyboy singers, and amazing vocals. It'll never come back, but 80s lives forever! Like Ratt, bulletboys, Vandenberg, whitesnake, Warrant, Kingdom Come, Triumph, Slaughter, and others! Dude is in his late 50s and can still hit the high notes!The bulletboys lead singer hits the same high notes but with gravel! Check out, Smooth up in ya! Damn shame he almost died on tour in 92, but dang 8n the movie Rockstar with Mark Whalbe4g 8n 2000, and still sings and tours and even does classical music and he's damn good as ever!

[@windwarattack2300]

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

[@stevenedwards5356]

Absolutely love this song!! Such a killer vocal…unbelievable range and emotion. Stealheart ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lindakoberna3465]

So many underrated vocalists in this time period. Steelheart, Skid Row, Warrant...gen x had the best music of all time.

[@richardg8542]

NO AUTOTUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@R1ch4rd74]

The lead singer (Michael aka Milli) wrote this as a testament to his love for his then fiance and soon after wife. there are songe you like. and love. then theres songs like this that go into your playlist . his voice is otherworldly. hide your glassware.

[@wordgiesworld5483]

Their unplugged version of She’s Gone is incredible.

[@lindakoberna3465]

That song always gives me chills. I think it's their best. Just amazing.

[@kylengriffin5285]

All while chewing gum :)

[@samking6583]

I remember the first time I heard Steelheart, I couldnt believe a man could hit those notes. Its crazy good

[@RoGueNavy]

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.

[@007smithson]

I’ve seen her doing that, she is great.

[@toddsylvester9959]

Yes she definitely did

[@IxMADMANxl]

Jamie could be viral just cause of her beauty..💯💯

[@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957]

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

[@IxMADMANxl]

@@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957 I’ll do anything you ask

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

He sang the vocals for Marc Whalberg in movie Rockstar

[@tonycampbell4982]

Its 80s just look at the badass drum set gives it away!

[@christiekraczek6522]

He still sounds AMAZING to this day!!!!!

[@maverick4you]

Steelheart was one of the last hair bands before grunge took over. That is main reason ppl never heard of them

[@JamesHawkins-rs5ds]

im 59 years old and a big steel heart fan, and your just gorgous. 80's was great. miss the 80's

[@kalinguganbinlalingabdulla6017]

This song is known to the entire world for their super high note ,, watching from Malaysia

[@bobbyarnold5555]

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

[@johnbarraco5561]

Him and Sebastian Bach 2 of best late 80’s early 90s voices ever 💯❤️✌️🤘🍺

[@ericwright1985]

Can't leave out Mark Slaughter. Those 3 are the best

[@bobcurtsinger4561]

Don dokken n early years was hard to beat

[@barbaravance6774]

Hello, Geoff Tate?

[@Kajun-N-Kenner]

Jamie you and that song have something in common. Both are very beautiful creations!

[@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957]

Awwwww thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@Kajun-N-Kenner]

@@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957 you're welcome anytime!

[@windwarattack2300]

Jamies's eyes are drop dead gorgeous

[@robertchapman4488]

Singer from slaughter is good but it has nothing on this guy

[@VinceEmbry]

Mark Slaughter had the range, not near the power.

[@jonhworth9629]

Sebastian Bach and Miljenko Matijevic are 2 of best vocalist ever.

[@johnnyflores7016]

Thaes are the best ever bands and there's no one that will ever sound and sing like this

[@deangullberry5148]

The big three voices of the 80's were this guy, Sebastion Bach from Skid Row, and Jeff Tate from Queensryche

[@mitchellwells1021]

He can still sing like this seen him live a few years back.

[@David-yo5re]

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.

[@johnvance3011]

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

[@77magakill]

He was the person who sang the songs for the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg.

[@kenwilmarth68]

Except for the Verve Pipe song

[@216Numbskull]

@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++ 🤘😜🤘

[@ToddPro]

I'm so happy I lived this era, great stuff~

[@alexanderednie1205]

Love that you have Alex Grey artwork behind you!!!

[@merletdavis6463]

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

[@jasondemuth8793]

Another incredible multi octave vocal is Always There for You by Stryper…check it out.

[@ironmaidenman1457]

His voice was used in the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg

[@stevefranken4052]

She's gone is a banger!!! Please do next

[@lonnieward4693]

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.

[@BERSERKERNA39]

Sad what happened to him. Having the stage fall on him was the turning point. He was never the same after the brain injury.

[@adamkail4449]

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[@randalladams7692]

You look like you could be in the video you rock he's a badass keep rocking love your style

[@elleryparsons2433]

Could He sing that song in Every show? holy Cow!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘.

[@tiffanytosh1569]

Check out the incredible drum kit!

[@77magakill]

Watch his song, She's Gone!!!

[@Goodcitizen-mj3tm]

Listen to Queensrÿche take hold of the flame live in Tokyo you won’t regret it

[@victornunnelly-xk5gd]

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

[@32a34a]

Miljenko's voice could power a nuclear reactor. John Fowler the drummer passed away.

[@randykelley6826]

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.

[@dannydickerson862]

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

[@216Numbskull]

​@@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. Jeff Scott Soto split the vocal duties with Miljenko on the music soundtrack including one of the biggest tunes in the movie "Stand Up." Just saying... 🤘😜🤘 ++Peace Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++

[@stevenewcomer8837]

He’s probably the best vocalist ever!

[@dravenn61]

The last picture you had up is the more current picture of Steelheart as it is today 😊

[@putuagus1747]

Next steelheart " wait " please , really love your channel thankyou🎉

[@americanosbadassius9292]

Steelheart was noticed way too late, but they were like the swan song for all of the 80s bands; almost like a culmination of the rock bands the 80s gave to us.

[@DanWhite-z8b]

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

[@AnicaNovak-hj8rx]

Miljenko Matijević was born in Zagreb and went to America with his parents as a child.

[@RichardEBurchSr.]

Checkout Queensryche- Take Hold of the Flame live from Tokyo Japan..... Geoff Tate is another awesome singer from the 80's. +

[@mongo20166]

He never sang for Slaughter. He was the guy doing the actual vocals in Rock Star starring Mark Wahlburg.

[@sirtango1]

If I’m not mistaken Mickey was opening for Mark Slaughter when he had the accident.

[@cmyrho]

Love me some Frank DiCostanzo on guitar - genius!

[@DonCurrier]

If you saw the Rock Star movie with mark Wahlberg, you heard him sing before. He did most of Steel Dragons singing.

[@thomasbader4928]

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!!!

[@toddsylvester9959]

Yes she definitely did

[@pmar152]

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.

[@florencecavallaro4599]

i just sign on to you//you played one of my fav tunes//

[@jamiembryantbreakingstereo6957]

Thank You so much and do you have a request my friend?

[@philipisbell244]

Dio rules

[@scottbaldwin7133]

try Can't stop me loving you

[@DonCurrier]

Vocal Range: F2-B5 (3 Octaves + 6 Semitones). He hit a C#5 in this song.

[@TheHAZ1983]

I always wonder about Milijenko and Sebastian Bach on a duet... that would be more explosive than a nuclear bomb!

[@robinkarns7512]

He and Swedish singer Tommy Johansson are the best singers I've ever heard!

[@richwilliams7787]

"What is his range?" Limitless

[@KiraandBrook]

If you ever watched the movie Rockstar he was the vocalist for Mark

[@jameslanders1332]

They r still playn and touring😊

[@Muhammadtime]

The Croatian rocker 🎉

[@tommymcgregor1721]

Yes love steel heart and Mark slaughter is the lead singer for slaughter

[@ralphnewcomejr]

Check out "Static Acts" from Fates Warning, the Perfect Symmetry album

[@tagabjmpable]

it was released in 1990, consider as early 90s

[@ericwright1985]

Funny thing is at about 60 yrs old he still sounds like that

[@elodiadorthehater2316]

Mentira, ya no canta así ni tampoco llega a esas notas tan agudas👀

[@Real_True_Viking]

It was a different life in the 80s and 90s. Even I had my fame in that era.

[@Gymnocalycium30]

Please try to review their song "Can't stop me lovin' you" as well

[@kevinkirk3154]

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
