People are promoted for the wrong reasons in today's music industry. Espousing the "correct" social or political views will often be enough to earn you the best promotion, record deals, venues and contracts. Talent is many times the least of their concerns. Although frauds are certainly not exclusive to the current generation. Milli Vanilli being a prime example from the 80s.

Going to see steelheart this October and yes he still sounds like this.

Mili is special. I put him head and shoulders over 99% of 80s metal vocalists. Steelheart was criminally underrated. They still tour and his voice is still great.

In the 90’s I was at a small bar in San Antonio Texas, and Steelheart was having a concert. I stood not five feet from them while they were playing, and they sounded just as if it was a CD, or nowadays streaming! This group to me was going to be the next level rock genre. The lead singer MILJENKO MATIJEVIĆ has the voice of an ANGEL GIFTED DIRECTLY FROM GOD, and I will forever consider Steelheart, one of my my favorite rock bands of all times! That kind of raw talent comes from a higher power!

Might I suggest you play Steph Slaugter's "Fly to the Angels", there is a live acoustic version that Mark [Slaughter] really kicks ass on.

Steelheart came on the scene at the end of the hair band era, plus his accident on stage. Their CD was the very first CD I purchased. My kids were not even in kindergarten yet and they heard Steelheart everday.

You named my 3 fave rock singers mili, Geoff and Seb.

I'll Never Let You go is a must for sure. Sticky Side Up is another good tune!!!

They did a lot of songs for the movie Rockstar with Donnie Whalburg and Jen Aniston. My kids was watching it one day when I walked into the room and into the next and it hit me … I ran back in the other room and asked them, what are you watching? And they told me. Then I had to share songs with them 😂. And their biggest Mainstream is probably I’ll never let you go… I have seen them live twice also… on the first and second albums, met all the guys (they were all great guys) got a corona bottle from the drummer (after missing the tequila bottle that Mili used to hand out, it went right over my head) but they all autographed the bottle for me, my best friend got Milis bottle.

You guys absolutely need to watch Nightwish- Ghost love score live in Wacken 2013 with the best female vocalist Floor Jansen.

I've watched soo many reactions to this video. I just love to see the faces of the youngsters when he goes where he goes.

Though I lived through this period when Steelheart was coming-up, I somehow totally missed their work, & especially this song which I recently stumbled upon….now I’m totally obsessed w/it & w/Mili’s voice during that period of time- just incredible!! And can’t believe I’d never heard of him until now. Kip Winger & Mark Slaughter were great singers too & more well-known…the “whole package,” but I think Mili had a superior voice, especially in those higher registers.

His vocal range is like listening to a sports car shift through all its gears! Amazing! Saw him in 2022 in Vegas and he still can belt it out. Good review you two:)

Can't stop me loving you by Steelheart

Miljenko still sings like a god. Please listen to "Lips of Rain" or "My Love is Gone", some of his recent songs. Still gives you chills every time you listen to him.

My fave Steelheart song is "Can't Stop Me From Loving You" but you should definitely react to their song "Momma Don't You Cry"

I was a fan back then and still a big fan! I’ve introduced my sons to this genre of rock and they love it! It’s a fusion of Post Malone and 80’s rock, wonderful!!

Cute video show. Good to see a lot of Hair Metal and the positive reception the guests have. all though the hair metal genre was short lived after it's explosion, no one can ever take away the talent, vocals, lyrics, and overall performance this genre gave. best music genre ever, and because of the misogyny of it all, it will most likely never exist as we once knew it to be. But we can relive it!

If you two haven't seen Tommy Johansson covering this song, PLEASE check it out. You WON'T be disappointed.

As someone who lived 80’s metal I miss it and still listen to it today

Steelheart was actually used in movies. Miljenko was the voice of Mark Wahlberg in the movie "Rock Star" and the movie featured a bunch of steelheart songs Also there's a vocal range video for him on youtube that has his lower and higher ends

He was the voice of Marc Whalberg in the movie Rockstar....Steel Dragon

I believe he moved from Croatia as a child. Great Reaction!!

Thank you for reviewing this I only heard this recently, I think they amazingly brilliant. ❤❤❤

I am so so so sooo sad that i was born in the mid 90's and missed all of this, a golden era with the best singers ever. The music that is popular now does not demand this kind of power and talent, and if it does it is often done with autotune.

Great video guys! As a swede I haved to comment on my man Joey Tempest, I think Europe was in their "padawan" years in the 80s, still forming their own identity, trying to figure out their sound and who they wanted to be. They were also SO young when they starting popping off and were just scratching the surface. However I really think they came into their own when they reunited in '03 I personally think they have only gotten better since they started again, since then they've released six albums each one better than the last and sound amazing live to me. I think Joey is one of the best singers from that era who's voice can still carry immaculately today. Their live performances from "Sweden rock 2013" and Wacken are amongst my favorites but their last two albums I think are best You guys are great!
