Next Steelheart "Can't Stop Me Loving You" The reason Steelheart never reached big fame was because big Milli had a horrific on stage accident on Halloween 1992. He was climbing a 1000 pound lighting rig that was improperly secured and it fell on him, forcing him face first into the floor. Broke his face up, twisted his spine, as well as many other serious injuries. He was in the hospital for months and needed several facial reconstruction surgeries, he also had to learn to walk again. It took him 4 yrs to recover from it. It's incredible he was able to still sing and preform! The og Steelheart lineup never played together again. At that point Grunge had taken over and killed many hair bands/rock bands careers. But Mili and Steelheart are still out there making music and his voice is still incredible!

A couple more great Steelheart songs are Everybody Loves Eileen, and We All Die Young.

You really didn't watch him do the back bend when there where on the mountain. Need to rewatch that part again...Hell whole song. Their a great band.

I was a Steelheart fan and they were really very underrated when they came out. Another beautiful guy with an awesome vocal range is Mark Slaughter from the band Slaughter. Check out "Up All Night" or "Fly to the Angels"🤟

Yes more Steelheart please! "Can't stop me loving you" and "Sheila" has to be up next! And yes Steelheart still to this day are way too underrated. There's a reason for that though since Miljenko had a tragic accident on stage. "MATIJEVIC DECIDED TO CLIMB A LIGHTING TRUSS WHICH WAS FOR SOME REASON IMPROPERLY SECURED SO AS MATIJEVIC CLIMBED THE RIG IT BROKE FREE. MATIJEVIC TRIED TO DODGE THE 1000 POUND PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO NO AVAIL; IT HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, DRIVING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE STAGE. THE OUTCOME OF THE ACCIDENT WAS A BROKEN NOSE, CHEEKBONE, JAW, TWISTED SPINE, AND SEVERE MEMORY LOSS. MATIJEVIC MIRACULOUSLY FOUND THE STRENGTH TO WALK OFF THE STAGE AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS TO BE THE LAST TIME THE ORIGINAL LINEUP OF STEELHEART WOULD EVER PERFORM TOGETHER. MATIJEVIC HAD A LONG, PAIN STRICKEN, DIFFICULT ROAD TO RECOVERY AS THE ACCIDENT DID FAR MORE DAMAGE THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE KNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WHICH LEFT MATIJEVIC TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE ALONE FOR A LONG TIME". Such a tragic ending to such a great band. I always try to encourage reactors I think would enjoy this band to react to them when I can since I love them so much, especially Miljenko's heavenly, angelic voice that remain one of my absolute favorites.

I got goosebumps myself, when I heard steelheart for the first time I run out and bought their c.d.

I grew up on hair metal and 80s pop and, in retrospect, Steelheart WAS underrated

yess, one of my fave song by steelheart! thanks alex for react to this!!

THIS IS A GOOD REACTION STEEL HEARTS BAND ILL NEVER LET GO

Yes YES A 1000x YESSSS!!!! Delicious 🤤 🔥🔥🤘💜

Loved these guys back in the day, it's funny how they had two good songs, I'll never let you go, and She's gone😂

The singer of Steelheart is from Croatia. In 1992 he was almost killed when a lighting truss fell and hit him on his head doing some major damage. I guess you could say that Steelheart ended that night. “Mili” has since recovered and has recorded some new music under the Steelheart name. You should check out My Love is Gone. And yes, they were a very underrated band.

One of the underrated bands of the early 90's

Why not do a 80's Hair Band reaction week. Really dive deep into the music that us older Heffnerds listened to growing up

Listen to Night Ranger’s Don’t tell me you love me

One of my fav singers of all time.

Hairband power ballads. A staple of the era.

20 seconds in and you're already amazed. #mindblown in a just a few moments

Greatest power ballad of all time. Fight me.

All have different levels of skill vocally and musically, entertainment or sex centric content...
