![]() Mili: Yeah, that was special, there was good energy a really good energy. Were you surprised at how really well that gig went down? The last time I saw Steelheart, was when you played Rocklahoma in 2008, you’re still the only band as far as I am aware that ever got an encore there in three years. (I’ve loved the Doors since I can remember and visited Jim’s grave lasttime I was in Paris). ![]() Mark: Well we hope to get to meet you then when you come over. I don’t know if it’s been booked yet but I know it’s on the horizon. They’ve set up a whole world tour, and we’re supposed to be in Australia in September or something, with a 50 piece orchestra. You can hear the controversy you know, about what’s gonna happen! Mili: I gotta tell its fun, you wait it will be very interesting stuff. Mark: It was amazing to read the news, I certainly never expected hearing you singing with The Doors it should be fantastic, I can’t wait! Mili: It’s a really nice cool twist, I’m enjoying it. Mark: You’ve certainly got a lot more range than Jim! I think it’ll be an interesting mix. I leave tomorrow for Los Angeles for rehearsals, and then the first show. I went to LA about a month ago, sang nine songs, and left with Robbie giving me a hug, so I think they liked the way I sang. ![]() So, I thought, sure, that could be an interesting kind of different match for me. So, I met up with him, because I was actually looking for a manager, and I got a call to come and audition for The Doors. Their manager said “You know, that guy’s a great singer, I think I might have a project that he’d be great for”. Mili: Well my attorney was talking to their manager about another issue and they started talking about me. Mark: I suppose the biggest news for you at the moment is the whole Doors thing playing with Robbie and Ray, how long has that been on the cards? How did it all come about? Mark: Hi Mili thank you so much for speaking with us here at theRockpit. The road back has been a hard one, with more tragedy than most people should have to endure, but Mili is strong and life is good and there’s fresh news, and always there is that amazing voice… On Halloween night 1992 tragedy struck when Mili had a horrific onstage accident and the first chapter of Steelheart drew to a close in a flash. I think that they would have been one of the few bands strong enough to make it through, but we will never know. Steelheart burned brightly at the start of the nineties and made two great albums before, like everyone, they felt the tide turn with the birth of grunge.
