Steelheart?

Just saw a video of these guys I had never heard of. Apparently they are an early 90s hard rock band who got overshadowed by the Nirvana movement:

The guitarist is using an Ibanez. I thought they sounded pretty good. Typical 80s hard rock sound, but good nonetheless.

I think the singer of steelheart was the singer in Steel Dragon.

Their big sone was some cheeseball power ballad, forgetable at best.

The time of Jurassic, when every rocker has big hair. Another of their famous ballad would be "She's Gone"......

Steelheart is one of my favorites from the 80's! they came out in the late 80's and released 3 albums: ST, tangled in reins and another one which scapes my mind right now (that cd actually contains an early version of "We all die young"

"Cant stop me from loving you" had a ball breaker in it too, as did most of them, it was a bad ass track, another band that got buried was shark island if you watch their "Paris calling" video you will see where Axel got all his crazy dance moves from circa "sweet child o mine".

heres "Paris calling"

Yeah their singer is fantastic. Have you ever seen the Japanese guy covering "She's Gone"? He's got a bit of an accent but his singing is pretty fantastic.
