In 2016, Steelheart appeared at the three-day Rockingham 2016, glam metal festival with Marten Andersson from Lynch Mob and Lizzy Borden on bass, in Nottingham, United Kingdom on October 22, as the headline act of the second day.

In late 2006 the EP Just a Taste was released, three tracks on it would be released again on the 2008 album Good 2B Alive, and the other track 'We All Die Young' was previously put out on 'Wait' and the 'Rock Star' soundtrack. Though the album failed to chart in the US, the track ' We All Die Young' was featured in the motion picture Rock Star, starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. Original member James Ward joined Steelheart on the tour supporting the album. The new Steelheart recorded and released the album Wait, despite their past two albums being filled with high powered glam metal, this album has more of an alternative metal sound. In 1996 a revamped lineup of Steelheart emerged with guitarist Kenny Kanowski, bassist Vincent Mele and drummer Alex Makarovich, leaving Matijevic as the only original member. Matijevic suffered a broken nose, cheekbone, jaw and a twisted spine. In an attempt to evade it, the truss landed on top of him, crushing him face first into the stage. While performing 'Dancing in the Fire,' from their 'Tangled in Reins' album, Matijevic walked under an unsecured lighting truss, which fell toward the stage. Towards the end of their tour of Asia, Steelheart was asked by Slaughter to open for them at a show in Denver, Colorado on Halloween night in 1992. The single 'Mama Don't You Cry' charted No. 1 in many East Asian Countries, including Hong Kong, leading to an Asian tour in September 1992. The album had significantly less success than its predecessor in the USA, because it only reached #144 on the Billboard 200, and none of the released singles charted. Steelheart's second album, Tangled in Reins, was released in 1992, reaching No. 144 on the Billboard charts. The band's debut album, the self-titled Steelheart, was released on May 10, 1990, and reached #40 on the Billboard 200. and getting a record deal and a manager, the band ultimately decided to change their name to Steelheart. Frank DiCostanzo joined as a rhythm guitarist and John Fowler replaced Jack Wilkenson. Steelheart was initially formed as a band called Red Alert, whose members included James Ward (bass), Chris Risola (lead guitar), Jack Wilkenson (drums) and Miljenko Matijevic ('Mike', vocals). It was their only major hit in the US, making them a one-hit wonder. Steelheart's debut album, the self-titled Steelheart (1990), which was released on May 10, 1990, was certified gold by the RIAA on July 30, 1991, mainly on the strength of the single ' I'll Never Let You Go' which reached No. The current lineup contains Miljenko Matijevic, Mike Humbert, Joe Pessia and Marten Andersson. At the time that their debut was recorded, the band's members consisted of vocalist Miljenko Matijevic, lead guitarist Chris Risola, rhythm guitarist Frank DiCostanzo, bassist James Ward and the now deceased drummer John Fowler. Steelheart is an American glam metal band from Norwalk, Connecticut, that formed in 1989.
