Until one day I went to California and met our manager to be. So, I met up with him, because I was actually looking for a manager, and I got a call to come and audition for The Doors. Mark: There’s no likely release date at this stage? And every time I sit down at my piano, and I don’t have something, then something beautiful comes through, so I have to be at all times prepared and it just comes. The outcome of the accident was a broken nose, cheekbone, jaw, twisted spine, and severe memory loss. And Mike the drummer he was doing a set in a studio here in Virginia when I was looking for somebody to do demos with. She was the buyer for Ralph’s Grocery Stores, in Southern California. So with us, also, I had that accident in ‘92. Michael soon devoted all attention to the band, and not his college work. Mili: I gotta tell its fun, you wait; it will be very interesting stuff. Sometimes when you talk to people after just a few minutes you feel like you are talking to an old friend that you haven’t seen for a while. He failed to climb the rig and also failed to dodge the 1000 pound piece of equipment, which hit him in the back of the head, driving him face first into the stage. Mark: With The Doors tour then playing in May and June, how has that affected Steelheart? Artist descriptions on Last.fm are editable by everyone. Mili: With Steelheart, I had a difficult time, because I wasn’t quite sure, what should I call the next project: should it be Steelheart or should I call it another name? Within these five conversations we discuss the 30 year legacy of the band, Miljenko being the singing voice for Mark Wahlberg in the film "Rock Star," and his tenure fronting The Doors with Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger! I feel inspired. So later when I was doing a tour- I was going over to Korea, and I need a bass player so I call Rev and that’s how we got together. Mark: How do you approach song writing, is it something you sit down and do, or is it a chore, does it just come to you? Miljenko Matijevic, also known as Michael Matijevic or Mili Matijevic (born 30 November 1964) is a Croatian American rock singer, best known as the frontman of the hard rock band Steelheart. Matijevic found the strength to walk off the stage and was immediately taken to the hospital. Mark: I think it was the whole reaction to the ‘hair metal’ thing, a lot of great bands, that weren’t hair metal, that were producing great music, like, Steelheart, just sort of got wiped out in that wave. Have you got any interesting stories about those days? He’s a really great guitar player. In order to have the best experience, please upgrade to a more modern browser. But it’s built me in to the man I am. Mark: Hi Mili thank you so much for speaking with us here at theRockpit. Mili: Awesome, we like doing stuff, we enjoy ourselves. What’s your best blend? Mili: Yeah, that was special, there was good energy; a really good energy. Prior to Steelheart, he performed in a band called Red Alert. The story hasn’t played out yet, so it’s an on going thing, probably another 6 months. I’ve still got the T shirt and the shirt, they’re really great! Were you surprised at how really well that gig went down? Because you’ve written some beautiful songs over that time. Put the videos in, it was a fun thing. Feel free to contribute! Jack Wilkinson was eventually replaced by John Fowler and Frank DiConstanzo (formerly of Rage of Angels) were added as a drummer and rhythm guitarist, respectively. Head of Hard Rock and Blues When Michael was 9 he joined the local church choir. I could have easily talked for another hour. Mili: Yeah… It has been a road. He became world renowned for his vocal range in the 1990s and is often cited as a strong influence of many singers. So I invited him down and we just got along great and he played excellent. Mark: Did you notice a resurgence in interest in Steelheart because of that? I love singing The Doors. Mark: So, have you got any actual recording plans at the moment, or has the whole Doors thing put a dampener on any new music? Are they friends, that you know really well? Mark: “She’s Gone”! Matijevic has cited Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and David Coverdale of Deep Purple and Whitesnake as his strongest influences. Mark: It was good to be out there. Mili: It comes to me, you don’t force, it just comes to me. He is 55 years old and is a Sagittarius. I look forward to meeting you again; maybe in another part of the world!
