Yeah, I love them and if I ever hear anyone talk about them it's 2 songs. Even their peppier stuff is great like sticky side up. Wish people looked into other songs not just She's Gone and this I'll Never Let You Go.
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime I had the first version that came out when It was called Angel Eyes (I’ll Never Let You Go) and then when it was released as just I’ll Never Let You Go I got that. It was 2 different covers. One with some sort of factory and the other with the leather jacket.
@@dougpoole1403 I, too, had the steel factory CD. Great album from start to finish. I can only recall 2 other albums that EVERY SONG was a winner: Def Lep's Hysteria, and Scorp's Savage Amusement. The hair band genre is easily one of the greatest collections of music the world's ever known and it was a FANTASTIC TIME to be alive!
Yes, 1990. I was a senior. Driving on 113 into Amherst, OH listening to it the first time. After the first chorus, I had to pull over at a gas station at the junction of 58 to finish listening to the rest of it. There aren't many people that can vent their pipes like him!
This song came out in 1990, great job Mel…..his voice is incredible and his range is insane!!!! Power ballads from hairbands are the most beautiful in my opinion
Power balance from hair bands true or the most beautiful to me also and I'm a death metal guy. I love the reactions cuz I know what's comeing they don't when he shows his SUPER HIGH RANGE PITCH. it's always funny.i looked straight into my wife's house eyes.bab u sure this man's even got a penis then we laughed
Seeing various channel's reactions to Steelheart's music and his otherworldly voice warms the cockles of my heart. I was "ground zero" when they hit the scene with their self-titled debut album the year I graduated high school: 1990. 3 groups from that era I really thought were gonna go the distance: Steelheart, Eyes, and Wildside. Then...Nirvana hit the scene in '93 and the "hair band" genre all but died off. Damn shame. The early '90s were truly a MAGICAL TIME to be alive.
I made a tape for a girl I was in love with and this song was on it, along with XYZ, mCcauly Shenker group, mr. Big, slaughter and a bunch of others. It was all ballads. I liked banging my head, but these songs were for her. Many years later she told me that it was a very special tape. I recorded it on a very expensive metal ribbon cassette that would last for years. I didn’t writ the songs down, so she had no idea who these bands were, but she asked, who sings “I’ll never let you go”? “ Everyone wants to know”. So I just teared up watching y’all enjoy Miljenko Matijevic hit those high notes clear from his diaphragm. I just love seeing people blown away just like I was so many years ago. Thank you for making it feel like the first time again:)
Next do a double shot--Shes Gone ( official video) then the unplugged version of just him and the piano...he is hitting those notes and chewing gum at the same time
Lead singer Mili was voted best rock singer in the WORLD in the 80s..now you can see why..his hit song She's Gone is just as good.. He wrote this song plus most of his songs..
He has done so many great songs. She's Gone, Everybody Loves Eileen, Don't Cry Momma, G2BA, and the song Steelheart. Even albums after 1992 are great. On Halloween 92 he was almost killed in a stage accident. .
YESSSSsssss! I KNEW you guys would love it! Now, you have GOT to react to “She’s Gone”...it is even better! “Mike” is also known for chewing gum during singing..😳 I’d choke to death! There is a LIVE performance of just him, his amazing vocal chords, and a grand piano. He was also Mark Wahlberg’s singing voice in the movie “Rockstar” Thank you guys for reacting to them...one of my all time favorites, and friend from many...uh many years ago..😳
This was 1990 I think. This dude has pipes. So sad his career was cut short. During a concert the lights above him broke off and landed on his head and almost killed him.
Steelheart is still on tour..he's huge in Korea..the column he was climbing on stage wasn't bolted down and it toppled over and he had multiple injuries. It took years for him to heal before he could get the band together.
@@rebeccaswift7588 I remember reading around a decade ago that he said he had suffered memory lost for a couple of years after that accident. must likely from serious head injuries. indeed, it took him years to get back to old self again
His career was not cut short. He did have a terrible stage accident but he still tours today and he still sings like this live! He can still hit these notes. He is still amazing
Close to the end when he say, " The tears start to fall. He bends back. It's like he's having a " Out of body" experience and let's it a out. After 30 years, he still has the same pitch. Unbelievable
Oh my Lord! I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING these genre of reaction vids!!! My ALL TIME FAVORITE songs are in this genre! There is NOTHING like 80’s hair band rock ballads!!! Do more please!!!!
The double blowback (blown away) @ 2:48 says everything. You couldn't have been more synchronized, if you wanted to! These types of authentic reactions are priceless.
I was 20 when Steelheart came out and I was so hot for Mili(singer) it was disgusting! he can still sing like that in 2022 and I still think he's hot even w/short hair 🥰🥰 edit: do the unplugged v. of "She's Gone" it's even better
LMAO He sang the panties off of all of us! Try Everybody Loves Irene. The more you dig, the longer you go down that hole, the more of some really nice tunes come from these guys. Yes, my teens and 20's were laced with big hair!
You should check out Steelhearts "She's Gone" and "You Can't Stop Me Loving You". Also check out Tommy Johansonn from the band called "Majestic". He does a cover of "She's Gone" and does it almost just as good...
Yall are discovering Steelheart now lol. I smile because let me tell you something. Ive been playing guitar, drums and bass a long time. We did cover songs from Aerosmith to Nirvana to Pearl Jam back in the day in high school in the early 90s. We never covered any Steelheart songs though. Not because the band couldn't play it. Because I never met a vocalist that could hit this range!
And don't think these guys can't rock. LOADED MUTHA, LATE FOR THE PARTY and STICKY SIDE UP is just a few to check out. Band is great and such a powerful voice. GOD BLESS!
Another band from the 80s where the lead singer has a very unique voice, is Firehouse. The songs, Shake and Tumble, Love of a Lifetime, and All She Wrote, to name a few. I recommend and of the 3.
I have been waiting for s&m to check Steelheart’s I’ll never let you! This band should of more huge then they where. So much talent in this band! I got to see steel heart in concert at the M3 festival a couple years ago and he still sounds amazing
Ok THANK YOU LOVE STEELHEART!!! Hey guys I have a request please do STONE COLD by Jimmy Barnes......i think you will dig some Old Soul!! I just discovered (i am ashamed to admit) Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham doing "When something is wrong with my baby" it then lead me down a path of Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa doing a cover of "LAZY" .....be prepared is all i can say, Play this when someone says OLD GUYS CANT JAM.....
God: "Ok, I'm bored. Too much free time. So, I'm thinking of making this ridiculously good-looking man & then giving him a voice from one of my angels." Miljenko Matijevic in a nutshell... 💁🏻♂️
This was one of the first CDs I was sure to buy when I bought my first CD player. I just needed to hear this song the way it was meant to be heard without the distortion of a cassette.
I was a teenager in the late 80’s, huge glam metal fan but when I first heard this song on the radio I was like “Whoa!” His vocal range is incredible. Absolutely incredible.
@@christyb7455 He was years ago anyway, we used to play in a lot of the same venues in the 80’s. I’ve only talked to him a few times over the years, and still seems the same as he did back then
I just watched a video reaction of y'all's, it was Slaughter, fly to the angels, and you all were genuinely impressed with Mark Slaughter's voice, and he is good, I can't take that away from him, I haven't played this video yet but I GUARANTEE you, if you were impressed with Mark Slaughter y'all going to flip your wig over this shit. There is Mark Slaughter and then there's this "next level"
My wife and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. That was supposed to be my song to my wife but our DJ did not have the song like I asked him to have 😞 My wife does love the song when she hears it.
This was the song for me from the love of my life. He just passed 5 months ago. Coming across this reaction from you is a sign. Thank you both. And thank you “my love”.
They cut the chorus short at the end in the official video, but I'm glad you reacted to this song. That guy had some PIPES! None of it is falsetto. That's his real voice!
I grew up with the love of my life, we both moved on, then we reconnected when I was 49 and fell in love. This was his song to me. We were talking on the phone one night when he had a heart attack and died. Right there on the phone. This song gives me peace and reminds me how much he loved me. Thank you.
His voice was considered one of the best. While on concert a stack of speakers fell on him and landed on his neck and throat and he lost a lot of his voice.
Miljenko Matijević is the lead singer he was born in Croatia. his range is so unbelievable, 30 some years later he can still hit those high notes, he can't hold them as long, but for all these years later it is still very impressive... Steelheart was one of the most underrated bands of the late 80's early 90's. Do a reaction to their song "She's Gone"
Moi je suis un metalleux et au niveau de la puissance de la voix,c est le meilleur dans ce domaine dans tous ceux que j ai entendu. Ecoutez le film rockstars de Mark Walberg et c est ce chanteur qui prete sa voix a Mark pendant les chansons du groupe
it's my favorite band..Milijenko Matijevic does have a very high voice it's amazing and your reaction is interesting and impressive..i like it..good job and good luck🇮🇩
I’m glad someone reacted to this song. It is, truly, a gem. I wait all song for that last note. Incidentally, this singer did all the vocals for Mark Wahlberg in the movie Rock Star. He is known, but not as well as he should be.
