Thank you for writing this. When I heard them say one hit wonder, I grabbed my phone saying out loud, no no no do your homework. But saved my pour finger from getting a crap from trying to tpye all that. I was the first of my friend group to buy this album and would have loved more but by the time he better I turned into a new mom, but I've never forgotten this band. I would have loved to see them in concert. It's sad that the drummer, Jason I think passed away not to long ago from a brain aneurysm Brain aneurysm. It's been great finding them and the current new articles about them here on KZfaq. I wish more kids would give the 80's bands more credit. They wrote and sang real songs....Steelheart forever! PS I completely forgot about the movie Rockstar. Thank you for reminding me....❤❤ And these 2 need to know he can still hit those high notes 30 yrs later!

@@teetee3502The drummer was a friend of mine, his name is John Fowler. He passed from Cancer… His son Sebastian is now a stand-up comedian. Good kid! ❤️

Miljenko was a beast on the Mic for sure. However, he wasn't the only one who did the vocals in the "Rockstar" movie my friend. A lot of the credit also goes to a singer named Jeff Scott Soto who split the vocal duties on the Rockstar movie soundtrack. JSS is a bad-azz vocalist himself in his own right. If you're not hip & never heard Jeff sing check um' out! Some of the stuff he did with Yngwie Malmsteen was some pretty good shlt. For instance, "I'll See The Light Tonight" "I Am A Viking" & "Don't Let It End" are a few songs that show Jeff's voice, IMO anyway. Plus, if you really dig the sound of Miljenko's voice another dude I feel is comparable to his is a vocalist named "Tony Harnell" from the band "TNT." Tony has a monster voice on songs like "Tell No Tales" "Everyone's A Star" & "Northern Lights." Tony sounds mint no matter if he's singing an all out rock jam or crooning a Hair Metal ballad his broad octave range & perfect pitch sounds amazing. Just thought I'd share some other energy vibes in music to enjoy! +Peace Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘

@@216Numbskull I have over 6,000 albums and am quite aware of Jeff. Myles Kennedy is the guy who took over for Mark Wahlberg’s character at the end. Myles does not have the pure and clean vocals that Mili has imo.

📌📌 ...and, Mama, the studio AND the live acoustic(s) in Japan version.

Studio version will tear you up at the end

You mean steel panther 😂

Beautiful Song! ♥️

The b5 in this song is higher than the g5 in She's Gone.

@@myprivateyoutube1440this song is in a lower register than she’s gone that’s why it’s higher

@@Bryan-wu1ss It's literally a higher frequency.....

@@myprivateyoutube1440 one song is song in his low Notes. The other song is saying in his high Notes. It’s just Kai Hansen and Michael Kiska. They’re both tenors. but Kiska is a high Tenor , where is a low tenor

@@Bryan-wu1ss it's literally a higher frequency. There's no arguing that. Which, regardless of the key it's in, makes it inherently a higher note. Do you get it?

“Loves Tequila”, I know right! That’s a very OVERLOOKED song, that I really loved. I remember an unplugged session they did. And that was one of the songs he sang. This was a band that because of where they played, and where I live (Montana) I just was never able to see. Then the accident in 92! Man I KNOW they would have out run a lot of really famous bands.

❤️Agreed! I had same reaction… I know these guys… they are from my Town… Every single band member is insanely talented! I watched them come up on the music scene when they started out as “Red Alert”… Before reviewing a band and calling them a “one hit wonder” do your research!!❤

Try listening to Sheila by Steelheart

Agree to a certain point. They exploded on the scene when they first came out with “ I’ll never let you go”, “ Evenybody loves Aileen”, “She’s Gone” and this one. But Milijenko’s voice was unmatched at his highest. Timing was not their biggest downfall. Miljenko accident was. So again agree to a certain point.

@burch2488, I don't know about all that my friend. I mean c'mon man, Steelheart was good but to say they would of been bigger than Motley Crue is a little silly really, don't ya think? Of all bands to choose from & put them up against you pick the Crue. At least show some respect for Motley Crue seeing as though they were one of the first bands if not the first band arguably who really made shlt happen for all the other Hair Metal bands to come. Motley are the ones who got the ball rolling & started the whole Hair Metal music scene on The Strip in L.A. There were a few other bands back then who were doing their thing with sort of a little bit of the same idea the Crue was trying to do. But no one was doing it like Motley was doing it back in the day. I'm not even saying Motley Crue were the best ones to ever do it. I'm just saying they at least deserve the respect then for you to think Steelheart would have been bigger than the Crue. Especially when Steelheart as a band wasn't even a thought for almost a decade later after the Crue was well established in music. Trust me, Hair Metal certainly didn't start in Connecticut that's for sure. Just saying... Let's keep it a buck here, ya dig? 🤔😵‍💫😂🤣 Blah,ha,ha!!! +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘

@@216Numbskull See that’s why I agreed.. to a certain point. And you made that point very well. I still remember the story they told in Rolling Stone, on how they got their name. A friend comes in and says “ Well don’t you all look like a Motley Crue”. And then it began!! And very true about L.A.‘s strip. A lot of really good bands played that strip. A really good friend of mine, now gone, would tell me awesome Rock tales about the bands he heard on that strip. He could tell you every band members original singer, and lead guitarist. His plane went down, going over the Rocky Mountains. He flew his own single engine plane. On his way to Denver for a Concert. Somehow he got turned around, then boxed in a Rocky Mountain range. His last words were, “If anyone can hear this, I have no Effing idea where I am”. Found his wreckage 4 years later.

Definitely no 1 hit wonder! 🤣

Their debut album released in 1990 sold 33,000 albums on its first day in Japan alone, and quickly hit platinum status. The ballad "She's Gone" which showcased Matijevic's wide vocal range hit #1 on the International Charts, staying there for 17 weeks. Here’s the rest of the story. When performing in Denver on Halloween night 1992 for their second album, a 1,000# lighting truss fell hitting Mili in the back of his head. It tore open the back of his head and smashed his face into the stage floor, breaking his nose, his jaw, his cheekbone, twisting his spine, and giving him a traumatic brain injury. It took years for him to recover. He did the vocals for Mark Wahlberg’s character in the 2001 movie Rockstar as well as wrote the song for the movie “We All Die Young”. SteelHeart is touring now.

They were not one hit wonders, you need to just read the comments and you'll learn

I'd say Miljenko sounds closer to Tony Harnell more than Sebastian Bach really. Harnell is another monster vocalist who doesn't get the recognition he really deserves. Whether or not it's bcuz he missed the boat & was under the radar more so than other kick-azz singers were back in the day. Tony still deserves his dues for having the octave range & perfect pitch he had in his voice control for sure. If any of you aren't hip to who Harnell is, check um' out! "Tell No Tales, Everyone's A Star, & Northern Lights" are a good place to start that shows Tony's skills & talent as a vocalist, no doubt. Just saying... +++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends++++ 🤘😜🤘

BTW Miljenko wasn't the only singer who provided the vocals on songs for the Rockstar movie soundtrack. The other singer who split the vocal parts with Miljenko in the movie Rockstar was Jeff Scott Soto. "Stand Up! Stand Up!" 🤘😎🤘
