Sorry Mcklintock, that listing goes to Skid Row! I Remember you, or Guns n Roses, Sweet Child of Mine! The Lyrical content in this song is horribly lacking in talent, not to mention the lack of instrumental talent!!
@@mikemaggio4979 I see, so you're saying basically is that you're a music snob. When it comes to romance people aren't interested in lyrical or musical intellect. They just want to feel good or they want to cry.
80's song at heart, but came out in 90's. What sucks is i never heard this before. I actually stumbled on this and the group. Been jamming it several times a day for weeks.
I danced to this at my Prom, I thought then that Miljenko had an awesome voice and still do. Almost 30 years and I still keep this song on regular rotation on my playlists.
Brother Jamel, thanks for covering this wonderful piece from the timeless Steelheart vault. When I was deployed on my first deployment in active duty military service this song came out and hit #1 on the charts. My late fiancee loved Steelheart, and this was our song. Six months into my deployment she and my unborn daughter was murdered, and my superiors would not allow me leave stating I was mission essential. I love the admiration and praise of your reaction videos to timeless songs; this is one of them. Thank-you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts to a masterpiece of music and performance. Best wishes in 2020.
“Daaamn. You see his damn back?!” Your expression mixed with that phrase just made me cackle. I stumbled on to your reaction videos cuz of this song. Totally subscribing!
This was one of, if not the last of the hair metal songs. 1991 - Nirvana Alice in chains and Soundgarden were just releasing the albums that would forever drive a stake through the heart of this kind of music. At the time I was glad, now that there's been nothing like this for 30 years, I'm nostalgic for hair metal
The only thing I don't like about the covers on this song is the covers are getting more reactions than this original. .. kinda takes away from the original band. Steelheart isn't getting enough credit.
It is a high note, but it's falsetto. I can hit that note easily with my falsetto. This guy in Steelheart is singling that high with his natural voice. :)
Hey Jamel the lead singer of Steelheart actually started with a Christian rock band called Rage of Angels back in the 80's. They only made one album( that I happen to own), but it's amazing as well. Just thought I'd throw that little tidbit of information at you. Blessings brother
Hi Charles. I was going to purchase the Rage of Angels CD from Discogs. However they show a different lead singer who’s name is Dan Mariano, Not Miljenko Matijevic (Michael Matijevic / Mikey Steel). Do you know if he changed his name? Miljenko has such a unique voice, I would love to hear him sing Christian Music. I’m going to do some more research too, as I’m curious now. Please let me know. Thank you.
I just love watching these reaction videos to this particular song. Many of them out there, and when he hits the first high notes, the reactions are priceless
@@vandasco2539 No he didn't. Two of the guys that recorded the album wrote it. Only three people still alive that know the truth about ALL the songs on the "Wait" album and yes, I'm one of the three. And karma is a real bitch so what happened on stage that night is proof.
@@susana5052 funny you say "only 3"?? And Karma? Far from it, if you were there and saw what happened right before (Coincidence??) oh wait its Karma right? hmmm what it's really related to is just a shame;( Love and Peace to all!
Their shows in the Connecticut rock clubs, back in the day when there WERE rock clubs, were a sight to see. People would bet if he could hit those notes live. He did and lotsa' cash changed hands.lol
Milljenko, without question, hadthe best voice ever of the 80’s. They were popular, but didn’t get the recognition they truly deserved. That man’s voice.......... well I don’t even have to say it!!
I cry every time I listen to this song cause it is so beautiful! I bought this cassette when they first came out, I was around 15, I'm 53 now and it still affects with the same emotions!
Luv Luv Luv your reaction! Hair bands or not, you gotta admit that some really kick-ass music came out of the 80's. I feel so lucky that this was my era. Thanks!
Queensryche “Take hold of the flame” live in tokyo 1984. The singer pulls this song off after a full set list. You gotta gotta see it! I’m gonna watch it again now😄
Flashback city right here. My God. I can't tell you how many times I called in to the radio to get this song played and dedicate it to the girl of my dreams in high school lol. It NEVER worked, but she knew, dammit lololol
Haha great reactions I knew you wouldn't leave disappointed ;) Their song "Can't stop me loving you" is my favorite by them so I hope that one will be added to your list ;) It's just the right amount of heavy mixed with Miljenkos silky smooth and angelic voice.
This song came out in ‘90. My wife and I started dating in ‘91. We rocked this song! and many others, when we were dating. Now 29 years later we still rock this and other songs from our teen years! Music my friends....music is a freaking time machine and this song just took me back to our high school dances. Awesome times!
After all these years, I will still listen to this if it’s on the radio. If you want to hear a great hair band high pitched song, it’s TNT Forever Shine On. Pretty Please
This is a beautiful love song and this is what I miss about the 80s I miss those rock ballads that really were true love songs. This song is one of the bests!
Some assistance there with a hair-blowing fan in his face all the time... lots of fun during this time with power ballads like this all over the place. Sad to see all the megadecible singers fade away. I cannot think of an equivalent today that hasn't gone through a reality show already... prove me wrong?
“Bent over backwards…wakin’ up your neighbors”…lol…Jamel you crack me up. Man I listened to this song when I was ten years old. Before puberty I probably could have hit these high notes.
I saw them and REO Speedwagon in concert during a block party sponsored by Budweiser back in 1991. It was in San Antonio, and is held every year. I was stationed at FT. Sam Houston at the time, and I met my brother at the concert who was stationed 90 miles west in Del Rio, Texas. It was a good time.
Also,if you're looking for high notes from this guy,check out "Sheila" from this same band...a short vocal "duel" with the lead guitar at the end of the song will give all the high notes you need!
Absolutely he is one of the best rock singers of all time, not to mention such eye candy for us ladies. Love this song. No, no, no. Leave the white shirt on, and just the way it is. Ooh lala. I agree one of the best, if not the nest, rock love ballad of all time.
This was me and my high school sweethearts song. We graduated in 2012. We reconnected this year. She had three kids and a divorce. I had been single enjoying myself the whole time. Now I have three beautiful step daughters and the love of my life back.
I grew up with the 80's "Hair Bands", and the Fat Boys, Big Daddy Kane, seemed like everybody. My favorites were most of the metal and hard rock bands, Lionel, Billy Ocean, The Neville Brothers, etc. To me, the 80's decade and the first 2 or 3 years into the 90's is where the greatest music was. Enjoyed your reaction Mr. Jamal. I have watched many of your vids and you're always cool and calm. Always respectful. Your 2 brothers are to. Appreciate your time and effort. Strength and Honor👍
If some man is bent over backwards screaming at my door, I'm calling a young priest and an old priest and we're having us an exorcism. But, nah, not kicking Miljenko outta bed.
No doubt, in the Top 5 Rock Ballads of all time! Vocal perfection from the late 80's. Wish I could grow my long azz mullet back, put in my gold stud earring and travel back to the best days of my life!! 🤘🤘
Thought I knew every 80’s hair band until I stumbled across Giuffria “Call to the Heart” one day on Hair Nation. If you love this song, you’ll love Call to the Heart.
you gotta check out Whitesnake - Cryin' In The Rain. real bluesy and a total stripper song. Coverdale got a killer voice. If you ever do Here I Go Again, go for the Saints And Sinners version from the 70's
Rocking two chains before 2 Chainz. 🤣 BTW I love that you listened to this. This song has been getting me in the feels since I first heard it on Headbangers Ball. I'm old.
Back in the 70”s if you can see during the disco era, open chest button down shirt was the fashion. This was a carry over during the 80s. Almost made it through the 90s too
Also gotta recommend some Alias: More Than Words Can Say, Give Me A Reason To Stay (absolutely beautiful ballad), Haunted Heart. Love the channel dude 👍🤘
The singer for steelheart done the songs in the movie rockstar with mark wahlberg. Great soundtrack. I love his voice and he sounds like this live to this day
It's so funny that you mentioned Dimash in this video because i always think of this song and really want Dimash to sing it :) By the way i love your shirt. :)
Man, I'm so glad you did this one! Arguably the most epic power ballad ever!
Sorry Mcklintock, that listing goes to Skid Row! I Remember you, or Guns n Roses, Sweet Child of Mine! The Lyrical content in this song is horribly lacking in talent, not to mention the lack of instrumental talent!!

I guess if all you want out of a song is an emotional tampon, than this is the song for you! Enjoy the teenybop dribble!
Look at it on the bright side, seeing as you don't expect too much out of a song, you will never be let down!
@@mikemaggio4979 I'm sorry, did you say something?
Probably the best vocal performance I have ever heard.
Another awesome 80's song! The best decade of music ever! He has a set of pipes!
80's song at heart, but came out in 90's.
What sucks is i never heard this before. I actually stumbled on this and the group. Been jamming it several times a day for weeks.
Have you seen the show lately? Fire!
This song came out in 1990
Love me some Steelheart! Their albums are great. They didnt get the recognition they deserve.
I danced to this at my Prom, I thought then that Miljenko had an awesome voice and still do. Almost 30 years and I still keep this song on regular rotation on my playlists.
I still get goose bumps when I hear this song! Thanks for making my day!!!

"Just take off the damn shirt." Hahahaha!!!! I would LOVE to see your reaction to Kip Winger's shirt in the video Seventeen!!!
“Daaamn. You see his damn back?!” Your expression mixed with that phrase just made me cackle. I stumbled on to your reaction videos cuz of this song. Totally subscribing!
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time!!! Man, I loved the ‘80’s!! Love your reaction
spent time with this band on the Monsters of Rock Cruise this January. he still has the pipes like no one else.

I agree 100%. It's a shame.
But who can sing it better than Steelheart?
Kara A no one
this is my biggest complaint.
@@karaa7595 ain't nobody..
When I'm With You by Sheriff is another great song with a HIGH note.
Kelly Anderson I was going to request that song lol great minds😃
True, one of my favourite songs ever.
It is a high note, but it's falsetto. I can hit that note easily with my falsetto. This guy in Steelheart is singling that high with his natural voice. :)
This is a great song! I can listen to all these songs for hours on a road trip. Beautiful love song ❤️🔥😍

Red Alert was the name of the band and they changed it to Steellheart!!!
"Just take off the damn shirt!" Dude, I busted out laughing at that! Thanks!!!

Check out "We all die Young" from the movie Rockstar. He sings the Mark Wahlberg parts.
Steel dragon is the movie.
William Vangorden Steal Dragon is the band name in the movie, Rockstar is the movie.
@Weyr Cast Dio never sing the song. Mike Matijevic wrote that song for the 1996 album 'Wait'.

One of my favorite ballads ever !!! ♫
thing about this dude is that he sings that clean in very low registers too.That is what always amazed me about him.
My windshield just shattered
I love it! BTW, that’s how we wore shirts in the early nineties. 😆😂🤣
Mili, from Steelheart, is in the top best singers of all times. The most amazing I’ve ever heard. His hair drives me crazy on a personal note:-)
He's so smoking hot
Nothing better than a heavy metal love song!!! Wildside....Looks Like Love... is amazing also 🙂
Styx - Blue Collar Man, Renegade, Grand Illusion, Suite Madame Blue
Yes!!!💪🤜🤛
Don't forget Miss America !
Crystal Ball!
Luv Luv Luv your reaction! Hair bands or not, you gotta admit that some really kick-ass music came out of the 80's. I feel so lucky that this was my era. Thanks!
I love this song. Thank you for the memories
Everybody loves Eileen from them is a great song also. For high actives listen to Queensryche.
That is a good song by them
Octaves?
@@williamjordan5554 spell check.
Auto correct I meant.
Omg yes those drums on everybody loves Eilien
What a fantastic musical journey this must be for you, Jamel. Listening to the music I grew up with. It's time for "Blackbird" by Alter Bridge.
I'll second Blackbird. Great song!
I third that!!!!! #BLACKBIRD!!!!
You see his damn back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lmao he is bent half way backwards .. too funny
@Peggy Sullivan He could beat us all at Limbo!!! Lol
@@marthayoung2308 indeed!! 🤣🤣
@@peggysullivan6760 Isn't part of the limbo song, "How low can you go"? Hahaha!
Queensryche “Take hold of the flame” live in tokyo 1984. The singer pulls this song off after a full set list. You gotta gotta see it!
I’m gonna watch it again now😄
Jimmy Mac or Queen of the ryche live
TheDeadskinmask23 that whole concert is ridiculous
Actually that video is not the best version and I seen him do it live in 1984 in Arizona
Just saw Geoff again in '18, while he obviously can't break glass anymore, he still sounds great.
I never thought you would stumble to this great song. I been watching your videos for a while now. Love your channel!
Flashback city right here. My God. I can't tell you how many times I called in to the radio to get this song played and dedicate it to the girl of my dreams in high school lol. It NEVER worked, but she knew, dammit lololol
His voice was the real deal.
So glad Arena Rock is finally getting it's props everywhere in these reaction videos! Thanks man! Keep it up! LIGHTERS UP!
Sebastian Bach of Skid Row can reach some heights with his voice. Steelheart is amazing and missed! ❤️
Haha great reactions I knew you wouldn't leave disappointed ;) Their song "Can't stop me loving you" is my favorite by them so I hope that one will be added to your list ;) It's just the right amount of heavy mixed with Miljenkos silky smooth and angelic voice.
I was born i 1990 but I would time travel back for Miljenko ❤️
Best voice ever 🔥
One of my bucket list items to to sing and nail this song. Love your reaction!
Check out "Sheila" by the same band. Amazing guitar/vocal mirror towards the end.
This is, in my humble opinion, thee best rock ballad !! Then comes Faithfully by JOURNEY.
This song came out in ‘90. My wife and I started dating in ‘91. We rocked this song! and many others, when we were dating. Now 29 years later we still rock this and other songs from our teen years!
Music my friends....music is a freaking time machine and this song just took me back to our high school dances.
Awesome times!

I love your faces and reactions to songs. I'm happy that you are more than a man who listens to rap now. Lol
I remember when this video first was shown on Mtv and I just sat on my couch surprised. The video and the vocals were so good for the day.
This is a beautiful love song and this is what I miss about the 80s I miss those rock ballads that really were true love songs. This song is one of the bests!
The live version of this is awesome!
Thank you so much for playing this song... Such a Badass song..🤟🎸🎤
Michael is my cousin, I co managed Steel Heart with Stan Pose. Great band !
And the crazy part is, he can still hit those high notes to this day!!!!!!! WTF!!!
Some assistance there with a hair-blowing fan in his face all the time... lots of fun during this time with power ballads like this all over the place. Sad to see all the megadecible singers fade away. I cannot think of an equivalent today that hasn't gone through a reality show already... prove me wrong?
Yet another awesome reaction to an awesome song!! Thanks for the post brother
So glad you did this song
pure 80's Hair Metal ! I love it.
I've ALWAYS loved this song!!! Great one to react to!
This song is one of the best rock ballads ❣️... Awesome voice and a hottie 🔥
“Bent over backwards…wakin’ up your neighbors”…lol…Jamel you crack me up. Man I listened to this song when I was ten years old. Before puberty I probably could have hit these high notes.
Love this song ❤ You should react to: Skid Row 18 & life
Skid Row has a lot of good stuff. From power ballads to kick you in the ass music.
@@purplebeard1526 Exactly!! Haha love your profile pic by the way. Metallica is my all time favorite band ;))
If he does that, then he needs to do Slave to the Grind for comparison. \m/
@@mikeyb8040 Agreed!! ;))
You should react to Steelheart: Sheila, at least the final 60 seconds !!!
Best pipes in the biz he still to this day can sing that great.
Love how u reacted to this song and not trashing it like others do this was a great time for music cause it was fm the heart💯💯🍻
Big Hair ballads were the best!
I love this!! Thank you this is better than the cover!!

Number 300 on da likes right here... Go ahead Jamal_AKA_Jamel... and yes saw these guys live a few times, and dude's voice is that dynamic...
I saw them open for Great White in Kalamazoo,MI around '88. His voice is just as impressive live. We had no clue!
I freaking love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol..great reaction! First the look on the vocal range and then the back bend!
Absolutely he is one of the best rock singers of all time, not to mention such eye candy for us ladies. Love this song. No, no, no. Leave the white shirt on, and just the way it is. Ooh lala. I agree one of the best, if not the nest, rock love ballad of all time.

Hey, it was the late 80s/ early 90s. For us, shirts were more of a fashion accessory than an actual clothing item............. :D
Rocking two chains before 2 Chainz. 🤣 BTW I love that you listened to this. This song has been getting me in the feels since I first heard it on Headbangers Ball. I'm old.
Can't think of a higher vocal range song in any rock song ever sung by a guy. Great choice Jamal!🙏
Back in the 70”s if you can see during the disco era, open chest button down shirt was the fashion. This was a carry over during the 80s. Almost made it through the 90s too

The singer for alias has the record for the longest held note
Sébastien Bach from skid row and this singer. The best vocals I've ever heard. Wow....
