Livin’ The Life: Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart – EP082

In this episode we are livin' the life with Miljenko Matijevic
of Steelheart. We catch up with Steelheart's main man Miljenko to
talk about his career, the new live album, and what Steelheart fans
can expect in 2019. In 1990 when Steelheart finally got their shot
to hit the rock scene, the band embodied everything you would want
from a band in that era. They had the look, catchy songs, emotional
ballads, screeching guitars, energetic live shows, and a singer
named Miljenko Matijevic with a multi-octave range that would make
your head spin. Through the journey, Steelheart ended up with a
varied history. The band had a couple of hit songs of off  2
amazing albums and then quickly fell off the face of the earth
after a fluke stage accident. Miljenko rebuilt the band
for a stint in 1996, was involved in the movie Rock
Star (playing the voice of Marky Mark Wahlberg) in 2001
and then returned to the rock scene for good in 2006.  
In 2010, Miljenko even did a stint being the lead singer
for The Doors.  After releasing the acclaimed Through
Worlds of Stardust in 2017, Steelheart is back with a live
CD/DVD called Rock ‘n Milan. Miljenko Matijevic tells his Growin’
Up Rock story by sharing his humble beginnings, move to America,
his start in music, influences, how Steelheart became a MTV smash,
handling adversity of the music business, coming back into the
scene through movies/TV, success that being a hit in Asia brought
and what the future has yet to offer.  Miljenko was very
transparent and passionate throughout the conversation. You will
enjoy the conversation but to truly appreciate everything that
Steelheart has to offer, we encourage you to see them live. 
The experience is energetic and the musicianship is impressive.
