Miljenko is not only a great singer & musical artist he also comes across as a sincere & humble man. I hope Croatia recognises their son & give him the reception & accolades he deserves because his singing range & power is insane.
Love he didn't change his name like a lot of the rock singers do.
So awesome he looks at life as he does. Happy he came through it. Don't want to lose hearing his fantastic voice.
One of the best singers EVER!!! I am not a fan of rock and roll. But " She is gone" is amazing!!! I do not get tired listening to it. Sucha talent!!!
I'am from Zagreb... We know all about Miljenko and Steelheart 💕 and we are very proud💕💕💕💕
As a Croatian Metalhead, Miljenko is a gem.... Ponos Hrvatske!
Thanks for the video, proud to be a Croat :)
💪🇭🇷
It’s pure talent 💯 Awesome vocals, piano, other instruments & the powerful writing which resonates.
P.S. Your longer hair is still part of you. Also feel free to come down a few octaves to accommodate your present•day vocal range.
🌹❤️
Another great interview, thanks Stanko. I love how you are finding these accomplished people like Miljenko to interview! What a great voice and great frontman!
Great interview. Miljenko is a cool guy❤️
So happy you interviewed him !!! I am a big fan and have been following his career for years. But also I have a similar story myself and can very much relate to Miljenko 's life experiences. I was born in Vukovar and brought to US at age 7 around the same time period as him and have been a professional rock singer regionally and of course on a much, much smaller scale of success in the music industry. Great job on the interview!!! He is amazing! Thank you so much.
I would love to see you sing with Dino, two great Croatian together !! To bi bilo divno vidjeti. Pozdrav iz Floride
Now that would be something!
Best singer out there! I can't think of any singers from back in the 80s or early 90s who can still sing like they did then, but this guy can still belt it the same and he can do it live without singing to a tract. So much talent. Id say its really hard to keep your voice in great shape when you sing notes like he does for 30 plus years and still sound phenomenal
Milijenko is absolutely phenomenal without a doubt. There is another singer who I believe can do the same. His name is Geoff Tate from queensryche. In my opinion Geoff and Mili are the top two singers of all time. I'm so happy for him to have the continued success, he has put in the work, so he deserves it.
No midnight from crimson glory is
I've just heard Steelheart for the first time in my life. They truly rock; the lead singer has a fantastic range. Bravo 👏
I've been following him since the beginning ... for me the best rock vocalist ever.. You are the pride of Croatia ❤🇭🇷
What a voice he has.....love him !😘
Love this interview! I can definitely relate to his school stories and trying to fit in. Mili's voice is still so strong and amazing. He is loved in this house. Very happy I found you! Good luck and hope to see more!
Thank you! He sounds incredible live still!
MM is a strong fighter through his horrific accident! God was there to help him get through it! Your're the greatest singer of all time! I see you're fit, healthy and still handsome compare to other rock singers! You rock Mijenko!! Love all of your famous beautiful songs!
I'm living in Italy at just 3 hrs far from Croatia. Can't wait to see him finally perform there❤
❤ love your music and I pray 🙏 that your health improves and I hope I get to see you in concert ❤❤❤ your vocals are amazing
Very good and informative interview. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Pozdrav iz Makedonije do velike legende Miljenko Matijević I'll Never Let You Go cekamo te u mk
Incredible Voice
Wow bravo!! This is one of the best interviews of Miljenko I’ve ever seen! Asked all the questions I’ve been wanting asked! So good 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!!💪
Dobro doša u Hrvatsku.!♥️🙏🇭🇷
it's wild to me that he has basically 0 work outside of steelheart. Never featured on anything (except the rockstar movie), no side projects, no other releases, no nothing. Kind of a shame there isn't more of him
Привет из России Миленко самый лучший певец мы не могли раньше всех видеть и слушать только сейчас у меня появилась возможность видеть всех рок певцов Миленко лучший красивый фигура волосы я обожаю его и слушаю каждый день всех люблю надо нам всем жить дружно мы русские хорошие добрые всему миру помогаем с любовью РОССИ Я
Ma bravo dečko, glas anđela, sretno i pjevaj nam dalje 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👍
When I saw rockstar, I instantly knew the voice DEFINITELY wasn’t Wahlberg’s. He was never anywhere near Millie’s level.
Mil....❤❤❤❤ Vocals....❤️❤️❤️❤️ Songs....❤️❤️❤️❤️
My ex fiance loved Steelheart. Cool interview
After the accident, his band did not support him. Best singer to ever walk the earth!
Mili...AWESOME show at The Coach House, San Juan Capistrano 2 wks ago...introduced my daughter to 80s hairbands awhile back and she LOVES STEELHEART....once I got wind of tour dates...got tix and took my daughter for her bday to see Steelheart....man, you've never missed a beat from the first time I heard Steelheart back in 1989 on Pirate Radio...went out and got the album once it became available...still have it to this day...💯👍🏻🍻
Hi Miljenko I just got turned on about -She's Gone, Incredible song . I have been listings to all music I have many mucican friends Todd Jenson is my good friend Playing with Journey if you come to Portland come and see me😅
How are you guys
If you ever read this comment listen to what I'm going to say, your Steelheart mates were jealous of you believe it's true I can see it in their eyes in an interview I saw all of you together Vie in their eyes in an interview before the accident
I thought the same
Mike. What about Norwalk, CT? I knew you there and you didn't even mention that part of your past. It's a shame.
🤟
How about a stopover in Germany?
