He is a FANTASTIC vocalist. I was fortunate enough to see him live a couple of times, and he delivered all the notes perfectly.

Steelheart so underrated they have so many great songs I miss the real singers of that time In music !!

Yes, Steelheart !! My favourite Album in 1990. American Glam Metal Band with an incredible Croatian Lead Singer.

One of the most beautiful power ballads ever. Steelheart an amazing band.

One of the top voices ever! I'm sweating over his voice,, those jeans, THAT HAIR, and his whole body movements. Sweating in here!! ❤️

Dude can sing, I think he's the best from that era and genre. A lot of rock singers from back then have totally fried their voice by now due to how they sing with their throat a lot. He doesn't do many shows now but when he does he still got it

"When The Children Cry" by white Lion beautiful power ballad!

The most powerful vocals in power balads ever!!

The word "Epic" is thrown around all too often, but as a musician of 40 years, I tell people if you want to actually hear "Epic" listen to this song. It's more than a power ballad, it's like an entire movie in 4 minutes. And is truly, Epic. In the literal sense of the word.

You guys really should hear him do a live version of this with just a piano, it's even better. His high notes actually are head voice, it was not falsetto actually.

Totally agree the best ballad I have ever heard!! I have listen to this hundreds of times and have gotten everyone I know to listen to it and they have been totally blown away!! Let's face it Asia and BJ it's off the chain!!!

Mili was one the greatest rock voices of his time,he got into an accident I think something fell on the stage and hurt him ,he recovered but couldn’t hit the highest notes anymore ,he still sings now and has a cool KZread channel. He loves his fans ,a good guy. I saw him at a Rock fest in Columbia MD, M3 2 day concert with a lot of hair bands, we were in the 2row, but ,there were a lot of folks in the grass, he walks off the stage and sings to those on the lawn.That was a highlight for me,he really was a class act.

A lighting fixture that was not secured very well fell on him during that concert. He sustained multiple facial injuries. But what was worse was he sustained a horrible TBI(traumatic brain injury) that almost killed his! He spent years getting back what was taken from him. And yes that night when it happened, he had NO IDEA how bad he was hurt. So he started throwing anything he could find cuz he was so pissed. He still sings. Did almost entire sound track for the movie ROCK STAR (With Mark Wahlberg). He can still hit those crazy high notes. But cannot sustain them. After all he’s been through he is still one of the best rock voices!!

I agree 👍 the most powerful ballad has to come from Steelheart..big voice

This rock group blew my hair back....what little there is...lol.....hahaha....and are going to put Rock n' Roll back in the center of music again.....I love his voice "Millie" and all the members of the band....we are on a verge of Rock Revival y'all!!!!! Love this song!!!! Excellent!!!! Excellent!!! This group reminds me of The legendary group "Boston." The drums and the guitar is so vintage of Boston......and the lead singer's vocal range just like the lead singer in Boston!!!! Love it!!! Love it!!!! Love it!!!! On a verge of a Rock n' Roll revolution!!!

Check out the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston...he was the singer behind Wahlbergs singing performances Side note...that movie also has singer Myles Kennedy from Alterbridge/Slash and the Conspirators along with Michael Starr from Steel Panther

One of my favourite bands growing up. Lots of Love from Shillong, India 💓

Not sure how they rank but I think they were a little late to the party. When Nirvana and the grunge music seen exploded the glam and heavy metal acts got pushed aside. So bands like Steel Heart, Fire House, Trixter, Heaven's Edge, Beau Nasty who had some great first albums didn't get the air time with their follow up albums.

Check out Sheila by Steelheart, great song.

I remember the first time I heard Steelheart in the radio (yes, I am from that era lol) and thought “Whoa. Who tf is this?!” His vocals are unmatched. Unmatched.

Back in the day they do this song unplugged MTV. Sounds even better and lead singer hits all the high notes perfectly.

Keep doing what you're doing .. I'm a a veteran of 17 yrs, and I look u r videos as a sense to ground and calm my ptsd. Do more heavy metal ballad songs

Have interviewed him and talked to him and he is one heck of a cool amd humble guy. Told me how he recovered from tje accident which took his voice away. Was so inspiring. What a singer !

He's as good live and can hit those notes on command. Shame his career was cut short at the height of their fame. He's singing again now.

Great video ..I love this genre of music.. steelheart should have been much bigger than they were . Mili has made a few solo albums and it looks like the band is touring once again.. You should check out Mili s version of Hallejuah .. absolutely amazung although he doesnt hit those high notes as much , his voice is still amazing as ever I also recommend my love is gone . Keep up the good work and God Bless .

Great reaction Asia & Bj. I love me some STEELHEART!

He does it all live too, mans got pipes. Even after the accident that ended Steelheart and broke Miljenko's face and jaw and shit, he recovered and keeps hitting them notes!

Tenho 60 anos, e sou muito apaixonada pelo sttealhart! Mesmo depois de seu acidente, continua cantando divinamente!

Few other ballads to check "Standing Alone" -Tyketto "Day I Met You" - Lillian Axe "Honestly" - Harem Scarem "End of the Line" - TNT "Forever Yours" - Michael Sweet ( singer for Stryper) "Don't Turn Around" - Eyes ( Jeff Scott Soto ) "We Got the Right" - Helloween "Another Day" - Dream Theater

This song is pure perfection, nobody and I mean nobody will ever sing this better than Miljenko Matijevic. The first Steelheart album is fire from start to finish.

Wow what a powerful powerful voice .. OMG I'm blown away with his voice. And the song is a really nice song.

You need to listen to their song "can't stop loving you" but with the OFFICIAL video!!!!!! Milli's voice is amazing. P.S. the official video for this song...the lyrics are different. Watch the video.

The VIDEOS of them are a must!! The emotion is something else

you gotta listen to Tommy Johansson 's cover of she's gone . much powerful this version

Steelheart rocked back in the day. Another great metal ballad back in the day was by the band Aidean. Check out there song Just Fell in Love Again. One of the best ballads back in the metal days.

This is indeed peak power ballad. However, it was released at the very end of the hair metal era when grunge was getting popular, so it didn't get the chance to get much radio play in the following years. Also, the lead singer suffered a severe head injury after their second album, so the band could not continue touring and promoting itself. However, this song is a well-known classic in eastern countries (Indonesia, Philippines), where cultural shifts did not happen so fast.

Thank you so much for not stopping the video every 20 seconds to make comments! It was great to see you actually listen to almost the whole song before making comments. :)

Yes you guys found Miljenko Matijavek of Steelheart..The powerhouse rock vocalist.Live version is awesome..he is chewing gum hitting those high notes.He was the vocals in Steeldragon the Mark Wahlberg movie.The best band that never was..lol

i would like to you to listen to the song my love is gone from miljenko matijevic, he is the lead singer of steelheart, i hope you like the song

Thank you for doing this one. Great song

You should check out Tommy Johanssons cover of this song. It's amazing! He's the lead guitarist in Sabaton and singer/guitarist in Majestica. The he does covers on his "free" time.

SHE S GONE NUMBER ONE SONG IN THE WORLD

Interesting fact , that one of the guitarists and the drummer playing this was originally from a christian metal band Rage of Angels 1988 1989 . Which really was a great band. The drummer and the whole band was a real contender with bands like Stryper and Barren Cross. Rage of Angels only released one album. And in fact broke up like two weeks to a month prior to releasing that album. Because the Guitarist and drummer left for Steelheart .

Asia hit the nail on the head!

Check out their other Ballad. Never let you go.

You need to watch the video!!! Other songs by them you should check out are "I'll Never Let You Go, Can't Stop Me Loving You, Eileen, Gimme Gimme, Mama Don't You Cry" & if you really want to hear his vocal range, do "Sheila."

Add to that the live in Japan acoustic set that, why only seeming to have three or four songs, proves his ability outside of the control environment of a studio and out from underneath any thumbs of recording engineers

Hello Asia and BJ . Love your intro to the channel and the music reactions you two do . Even though I missed the live stream of , Rock Power Ballads , I did watch it later on and thoroughly enjoyed it , some of the songs i now have on my Playlist. BJ , i was noticing the cap you were wearing , a once very familiar NBA team from my neck of the woods, here in Canada 🇨🇦. Keep up the good work you two , it's very entertaining to watch . Lots of love ❤️ from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦.

That was outstanding!

I was in the 9th grade at John Jay High School in San Antonio when this song was on the radio. Another good song from around the same time as this one is "Neverending Nightmare" by MSG.

Glad they got around to some Steelheart, hope they do their rock songs as well like Can't Stop Loving You, Eileen, I'll Never Let you Go and then do some Saraya!!

Spectacular voice. Steelheart always reminded me of Europe (The Final Countdown).

The song you really need to check out is by another band who didn't have much stamina. The group is titled Firehouse and the name of the song is Love of A Lifetime. The acoustic version is the best. There is no piano but the guitars carry it very well. Another awesome track is More Than Words by Extreme.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. THIS IS A FAMOUS KARAOKE SONG IN THE PHILIPPINES

Still have the original CD from when it came out in 1990. As a drummer, I was also amazed at how massive the drums sounded on this album as it sounded like nothing else out there. I thought they'd been recorded in some giant airplane hangar somewhere to get that massive reverb. Nowadays, any fool can get that with a mouse click in ProTools, but not back then. They are the story of a band that should've been way bigger than they were, but fate stepped in and stopped that from happening. On a gig supporting this album, a light truss fell down onto the lead singer and he nearly died. Obviously, the band was done at that point because of it. He had to relearn how to eat, talk, walk, sing, etc all over again. Eventually he did though and they've put out a few albums over the years since then. A short clip of that accident is on KZread. But he definitely had that vocal range - no studio trickery there. Here's an unplugged version of She's Gone with just him and a piano and it's amazing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHWItbqiZrfNn6w.html

I'm a drummer too, one thing I remember about this cd, when I first heard it, I couldn't believe how huge the whole production of it was. Ever song was mixed so well. And the drums sounded massive lol always thought Steelheart was criminally underrated. Sadly they just entered the race, a little too late

Ganditi-va !...ce cantati voi , si ce ascultati voi .Ce voci aveti voi , si ce voci ascultati. Nu exista termen de comparatie .Poate asa veti invata si sa cantati daca aveti cu ce , si sa apreciati valorile voastre artistice .

Check this song from them... a fun & yes, another window rattling tune... Sheila ( likes tequila - Live )

This is my favorite vocalist he's not a singer. Like Mariah Carey leann Rimes people like that aren't singers there vocalist. Wish you would do the unplugged version of this song. It's just him a piano what a amazing performance. I've seen them twice the whole band is top tier musicians

Believe it or not there's a little more emotion and range in his vocals poured out into the song "Mama Don't You Cry". That will be a nice treat for you guys to listen to

This just scratches the surface of the power ballad era. Never Let You Go was much bigger by them, but most of the power ballad era had songs bigger than this one.

first time i have heard this song. wow

You should watch Tommy Johansson ( guitarist for Sabaton) cover this song 💜

Listen to their song, "Never Let You Go" (Angel Eyes) Love you guys

Fantastic reaction guys😅😅

I love this song. You should check out his live version. Phenomenal voice and nice looking, too.. smh. Fantastic guitar solo, as well

This front man can belt, grew up with " Steelheart, their signature song, I'd love to see your reaction on it, it's called "I'll never let you go"

Love the cap. I grew up in Vancouver and remember the grizzlies.

Imo this is Head and shoulders above all other rock ballads. I feel the same way you do about the drums they are purposely very powerful sounding they bring a lot of Dynamics to the song and they are mixed perfectly, it sounds like a lot of gated reverb which was used a lot back in the '80s to make things sound big larger than Life. I myself am not a great singer but I wanted to point out that I don't believe that is considered a falsetto, that is when he switches from a chest voice to his head voice. By the way I love your reaction to this video so glad you did Steelheart.

Omgosh the memories!! Can’t go wrong with a Rock Love Ballad! 😍😍Have you reacted to Angel Eyes yet?? O..M..G!!! lol

Y'all should really check out the unplugged version of this with just him and a pianist.

Another way to interpret this beyond a woman leaving him is that she's passed away, and he's regretting what he's done. He is wishing her back, you know the classic stages of grief.

You Guys Should Check out a Song called Wait by Steelheart too.

O MELHOR DOS MELHORES VOCALISTAS DE BANDAS DE TODOS TEMPOS . / BRASIL. / RIO DE JANEIRO .

That is not falsetto. That is head voice. Falsetto is breathy, flutey, and hollow. There is nothing Breathy Flutie or Hollow about that voice that is straight power. And it is sang with amazing passion. Miljenko Matijevic (Mili) and Geoff Tate of Queensryche are probably the two best male vocalist to walk the planet

Very nice reaction, lots of love 💕 from Pakistan

One of the best !!

Wow never heard this song before wow wow wow

Great reaction and great song

What a voice!

I'd like to see you do a review of Jadyn Rylee. This girl to me has a perfect voice ! PIPES !!

That voice -- was that like 4 octaves? And that vibrato! The video was great too because his long hair was blowing and he was hubba hubba!

6:50 when she realized the super very high imposible note not anybody could just reach and he was not even aware of what just happened lol

PS) ICP's "Great Milijenko" always made me think of him😀

The intervals in the verse and chorus….obviously his range….but that melody is a legit emotional expression major/minor tension…..yummy.❤️🎼❤️😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥check out Stryper- the song Honestly. It’s in D minor….right…..gorgeous harmonies too. 🎼🎶

sorry U all had to go through that... late 80s.. ain't all that. please check out early to Mid 80s...Krokus..Fastway...Slade...Riot...DOKKEN...RATT .King Kobra(Ready to Strike album)...WHITESNAKE(Slide it in Album)...Quiet Riot...Night Ranger...Saxon...DIO...Y&T...many more ..

You should watch his acoustic performance of this song.

I enjoy your reaction 😁👍

If you wanna a real treat … check out the SONG Steelheart, it showcases all of vocals and/or the live version of Shes gone,I’ll never late you go or any of their live songs.. he is just as awesome live as in the studio.. and guess what? No auto tune! Skid Row had an awesome vocalist also Named Sebastian Bach… although he is a flat out idiot.. his vocals are often matched to Millie’s .. check out wasted time, in a darkened room, I remember you, or quicksand Jesus ..

Definitely check out White Lion - when the children cry

Yay, you fixed it.
