Finally Steelheart will be back!
Steelheart is one of my favorite bands. I became their fan since I listened to their song "She's Gone" on the radio in 1990. Then this song made a big hit in Japan, and they came to Japan for the promotion & the tour. Their shows were amazing! Mike Matijevic's vocal was so powerful as that on the CD, very impressive, and the other guys were the great players. Their shows were awesome and I couldn't believe it was their first tour in Japan.
At the show in Denvor in 1992, the lighting set collapsed and hit Mike's head ... Mike seemed to be injured seriously, but he recovered. He released the "Wait" album in 1996 and came back to Japan with the new guitarist. I went to see his acoustic shows. His vocal was more emotional and amazing than before! Then Mike sang for the movie "Rockstar". You can hear his powerful vocals on the soundtrack.
And finally their new album seems to be out next spring. And the original lead guitarist, Chris Risola will be back to the band! I heard that he's been working for his studio in Florida after Mike's accident. I've been hoping that Mike and Chris play together again, so I feel very happy now. I can't wait for seeing their shows agian in Japan!!
