Ron: And the Jack Daniels may have helped. That's something that not everybody can pull off. Ron: Both guitar players told me, in fact, you sing better now than you even used to.ĭon: And not only did you sing well, but for the entire show. Ron: For anybody reading this interview, yes, he can still sing!ĭon: You hit every note and it was a joy to watch I was telling Angela, You guys had some trouble at first but obviously the first thing obviously everybody knows your stuff from the early '90s and you were doing some good stuff, but now it's 2006 and the big question is, that guy could really sing, but can he still do it? For the record I'll say, yes you can. I didn't know if we'd get a chance to interview you before or after the show, but I'm sort of glad it was after and we got to see the show first. Well, I've got to say, Welcome Back!ĭon: It was a lot of fun watching you. Ron: And do you know any kids that don't sing? All kids sing for just the joy of it. I always say, I'll do the hard parts, you just do the easy parts. Mili: Are you fucking kidding me? It's amazing. Mili: But to have them sing it and to have it coming through them, there's an emotion coming through. Ron: They're singing your songs back to you, that's got to be pretty cool. It was fuckin incredible to have hundreds of people singing along to me. Tuesday night in Hartford, at Webster Hall, it's a pretty big place, they had the big barriers in the front and they've got this big stage and I said, fuck it, and I jumped out to them. Mili: That's fucking killer, are you kidding me. For you to pull up strangers, on your stage for your biggest hit, that's awesome. Ron: Like I was saying, this guy's got class. Tony: Somebody will put it on eBay because it's got your saliva and shitĭon: Well they tried to sell Paul McCartney's germs so Ron: They'll probably ask you to sign it. It'll be fuckin hanging on someone's wall and I'll come to a party one day and it'll be like hanging on the wall with my number on it, and I'll be like, Give me my fuckin mic back! Sound Guy: What general direction did you throw it? We're still trying to find it. I've seen hundreds of rock shows and I don't think I've ever seen anyone having as much fun up there as you were. He's got reasons to be upset with the sound and everything, it's a small club, he's been in front of the big arenas and everything and here he is having the time of his life. I was thinking, This guy is really classy. I really enjoy it when I get people to come up and sing with me. True diehard fans, they'll love to come and just hang out. Nice and easy, we're just kind of floating in. It's just clubs, you know? We're just out here getting our feet wet. We played some great places, but the monitors, everywhere we played the monitors were awful. All of that stuff that was happening, you were just rolling with it. Ron: What's cool though is, a lot of singers would've gotten very pissed off about that, obviously I'm sure you were pissed Could you tell, because you weren't getting any Ron: That's right, you had the two, then you went to the other one and then you finally got Chris' mic and it worked. Mili: Yeah, I had 3 mics, actually, it was 4 mics. I'm screaming my ass off the first 2 songs Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart InterviewĪfter the Steelheart Show at Top Cat's in Cincinnati, Ohio on 11/16/06ĭon: You know what was cool? I was talking to T-bone, and I said, The bad part is, you were out there sweating and jamming and we could tell that you were really nailing it, but we couldn't hear a note.ĭon: But the rest of the band sounded great, so we said, Well, he's got a good band behind him. Obviously we knew you'd get it worked out once you found the right mic, 3 rd song in, it was, ∽amn, the guy can still sing. Steelheart: Miljenko Matijevic speaks with Ron & Don Higgins.
