Rocking With Jam Man talks with Miljenko Matiijević of SteelHeart about the 30th anniversary of the band, and all the line up changes that it has had over the years, why the chose him instead of Tim Ripper Owens to be the voice in the movie Rockstar, coaching Mark Walberg to lip synch his songs, how he got into Korean tv shows, his upcoming movie “Trust In Love” and what is next for him
The Steelheart 30th Anniversary release, due out November 30th in physical formats (vinyl and CD), is available for pre-order TODAY via www.Steelheartstore.com (Steelheart30 is the password for the pre-order). Among these physical copies, will be one with a prize package opportunity. Steelheart/Miljenko Matiijević calls it a ‘Mili Wonka golden ticket’ and has made his special prize package in partnership with Ovation Guitars. In addition to limited edition Steelheart merchandise, Ovation has provided a never-released, one of a kind prototype guitar for the winner – an Ovation Custom Elite with a solid figured Koa Top, inlaid Flame Maple Epaulets, Contour Body with a Top of the Line OP Pro Studio Preamp.
The 30th Anniversary album contains some of Steelheart’s most beloved songs, re-recorded, re-mixed or enhanced in some way – including the addition of a 40-piece orchestra and a duet with an up-and-coming female singer – and will be released digitally in early 2023.
The lead singer for the modern-day DOORS and the voice for the ‘fictional’ rock band STEEL DRAGON from the film ROCK STAR (starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston), Steelheart/Miljenko Matijević felt “We All Die Young” should be the first single off the 30th Anniversary album. It is the track that Wahlberg lip-synced in the film, and is a Steelheart fan-favorite! It never got it’s proper due, since the song’s original version came out 9/11/01 and – along with all other songs with the word ‘Die’ in them – was shelved promotion-wise after the terrorist attacks. The lyric video for the 2022 version of the song, released 4 weeks ago is at over 400k views on YouTube and climbing. The re-energized track will see the release of its official video on November 11, 2022 with performance footage.
The next single, “Good 2B Alive” will be released in December 2022 and is an ode to living life to the fullest – a great message for the coming holidays.
Steelheart’s newly-opened/upgraded merchandise store features a new, clean user experience with brand new, high-end merchandise – the site is a whole experience. From limited edition, signed vinyl to studded leather jackets to fine jewelry, fans will be able to find gifts for the holidays for the whole fan family!
