Whether or not you like Steelheart, check out this live version of "I'll Never Let You Go." This dude can wail with ANYONE. This a great live performance...plain and simple.

Thanks for posting this one,SJ.
Matijevic was one of the greatest singers of the 90's,loved him to death.

I still think that "Steelheart" is one of the best albums out there.
'Everybody Loves Eileen' and 'Sheila' are absolutely awesome,especially 'Sheila'...That "conversation" between Misha's voice and the guitar was stunning!

I believe that Matijevic is truly underrated as a singer...Anyway,Eastern Europeans are very proud of him!

His first name is Mike actually, & yes he has an amazing set of pipes. "Tangled in Reins" is a great album, & I believe Jeff did some backing vocals on it (I can't find mine right now to see which songs, lol). Matijevic is also the voice behind Mark Wahlberg's character in "Rock Star" (Jeff is the voice behind the first singer).

He changed his name from "Mike" to "Mili" for whatever reason...something about his ethnic background...

With a last name like that he has to be Serbian or Croatian. Similar variations exist in my neighborhood and they are all one of the aforementioned two.

He is totally fucking awful. Singing higher like that doesn't make it good.

AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs AR said it sounds like nails on a blackboard.

Found it, he went back to his birth name after his mom died.

Get your ears checked, dude. That's an amazing vocal. Then again, you were an ardent Augeri supporter at one time. I know this song isn't Red 13 material, but it's good in its own respect. By the way, he doesn't sing like that on every song.

Dude, no offense, it's horrible to my ears. Just a difference of opinion.
When guys get into those registers where it sounds like their nuts where chopped off, I tune out. It's the chorus part that makes me cringe.

Paul Stanley has a pretty good set of pipes on him actually. Even he grates on my nerves with singing too high sometimes though. I prefer when he sang deeper (and much sloppier) in the 70's.

Kiss are fun and blow things up. Would never call any of them great muscians though. (ok maybe Bruce Kulick)

Never the "be all end all". I rip them apart constantly for things they have done. That can't change the fact that they were the first band I ever got into. Wouldn't be a Journey fan without them.

should read... "but then again its a fact, kiss is the be all end

Actually we DO agree on vocal tones AR. As much as I love the range Perry has.....I prefer his more full bodied voice from Dep/Escape/Frontiers and especially ROR to the real high early stuff. I think that is why I am digging JSS so much he has the power vocally and the passion that's been missing IMO.

This is the kind of passion and showmanship I want to see fronting Journey again.

LOL...I see your point. I was just fucking with you. On other songs he shows a bit more variety in his registers. I can totally see how that song could be complete shit to some. The man is immensely talented, though.

Bro, promise you I will check out some of their other material. In the lower ranges I got no problem.

Sounded like Cinderella (Kiefer?) to me.

Have to agree, Tom's voice is alot more raspy, one hell of a unique voice, some songs I liked it...some songs I didn't. LOL, on first kick glance of your post squirt I thought you were talking about Keifer (Sutherland). Although personally I think he has the sexiest "speaking" voice ever, I'll bet he isn't much of a singer.

Deb, I have watched that video at lest 4-5 x per day in the past few weeks....we are in for some really fine work soon...
Jeff is front..OMG the man can move....o and yea, sing....

Matajevic had and still has a great set of pipes. The dude was also almost killed onstage when an improperly secured lighting rig he was climbing fell and drove his face into the stage.

Check out the story here on the Wikipedia entry for Matajevic... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Matijevic

Sounds like the guy on American Idol the other night. Dude sounded like a girl. Simon said the problem was he needed to be wearing a dress and stilettos! LOL I agree with you, this guys voice is extremely irritating. Very thin and annoying.

OK...he does "wail" way too much. With the proper guidance this dude could sing anything. His voice is incredible.
