Steelheart started off as a usual heavy metal band called "Red Alert" whose members included James Ward (bass), Chris Risola (guitars), Jack Wilkinson (drums) and after auditioning, Michael Matijevic on vocals.Frank DiConstanzo (the former lead guitarist of "Rage of Angels") joined as a second guitarist and John Fowler replaced Wilkinson on drums.The next day, Stan Poses had the demo tape, within an hour of hearing it, Matijevic received a phonecall confirming that "Red Alert" had just been given a contract with MCA records.Realizing that the "Red Alert" name was already taken, the band settled on Steelheart allegedly because of their attitude after trying to get a record deal for so long."Everybody Loves Eileen" and its accompanying video also garnered much success.The accompanying video was another of the band's hits.Steelheart's next effort, "Tangled In Reins" was a much more mixed combination than the debut, with sleaze glam songs like "Sticky Side Up" to smooth ballads such as "Mama Don't You Cry".Also, the song, "Steelheart", featured Matijevic hitting his highest note of the three albums.Steelheart was later asked by the heavy metal band, Slaughter, to go on tour with them.Nearing the end of the tour, Slaughter asked Steelheart to perform one last show which would occur in Denver, Colorado.The show took place on Halloween night, a night which will forever be remembered by Steelheart fans.Matijevic tried to dodge the massive rig, but without success."Steelheart" ended that night, after a very impressive career.Wait
Four years later, Matijevic formed a new version of Steelheart with Kenny Kanowski (guitars), Vincent Mele (bass) and Alex Makarovich (drums) to record and release the album "Wait".Original member James Ward joined Steelheart on the tour supporting the album.Matijevic stated that "Wait" was the choice of the title because it took a long time to gain freedom from the record company and his greedy manager, who was taking more than what was his.Rock Star
In 2001, Matijevic provided the voice for Mark Wahlberg's character in the movie, Rock Star, a story about a music fan who gets to become the singer for his favourite band.The band itself was made up of Zakk Wylde, who's played with Ozzy Osbourne; Jeff Pilson (Dokken) and Jason Bonham, son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.Future

a9AdsViewNamespace.Man, this guy has pipes!Their singer is Tony Harnell and he is in the same league as this Steelheart guy.Was this review helpful to you?"Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.It's a tragedy that Steelheart's debut album hit in 1990, as the early '90s marked the decline of hair metal and the rise of Seattle grunge rock (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and so forth).Lead singer Mike Matijevic has a vocal range like none other, and while he possibly spends just a bit too much time up higher up than he should, it's a refreshing blast to hear a rocker with such undeniable vocal talent.But if you're like me and love those cliches of sex, drugs, and rock'n roll all night, you'll find few bands do it like Steelheart.Truly a hidden gem, and a near classic.The songs are very good.Published 8 months ago by E.Without a doubt, the most underrated metal band.This is one of the most brilliant and powerful bands from the 90s, great vocals...The lead singer's voice was MADE for rock n' roll.If you buy this cd you will not be disappointed in anyway.What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?Using your checking account at Amazon.Visit our Help department.You have no recently viewed items or searches.After viewing product detail pages or search results, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.Create and share your personal playlists with other users.Listen to Steelheart now.Greats from the Greatest
