Joey Tempest has a voice of an Angel......& to this day still has it, Keep Rocking Swedish boys

Proud Swede over here! This song is in fact from the same album as The Final Countdown, titled the same. But they have SOO many banger albums. Dive into them if you like ‘em so far. Promise you won’t be disappointed

'The Final Countdown' was released in 1986 and Europe became Sweden's biggest rock stars for a moment... Most of their biggest songs came from this album; it sold 3 million copies in the US... MTV played the videos for 'The final countdown'... 'Rock the night'... 'Cherokee' ... and 'Carrie'... The line-up for the record was: Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), John Leven (bass), Mic Michaeli (keyboards) and Ian Haughland (drums)... Unfortunately, guitarist John Norum (who had founded Europe w/ Joey Tempest) did not like the commercial direction of the album, and he quit the band... Kee Marcello (guitar) joined and did the '86/'87 world tour. Europe had 2 albums before in Sweden - 'Europe' (1983) and 'Wings of tomorrow' (1984) ... and had built a following before they were signed internationally... Some of their early songs were: 'Open your heart' (original version)... 'Seven doors hotel'... 'Scream of anger'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 The problem was after 'The Final Countdown' was a huge hit, Europe changed guitarists and could not follow up w/ 'Final countdown Pt. 2'... Europe released the album 'Out of this world' in 1988, and it sold 1 million copies, but none of the singles had the same impact... 'Sign of the times'... 'Superstitious'... 'More than meets the eye'...🔥🔥🤘🤘 Unlike 'The Final Countdown'... this record was not a glossy, arena rock record... Europe was also internally in turmoil at the time by 1990. Europe regrouped w/ Ratt producer Beau Hill and recorded and released 'Prisoners in Paradise' in 1991... it came too late. Nirvana and Pearl Jam began to dominate radio and MTV by 1992, and Europe was out of fashion in the 90's as an 80's 'hair band'... The record sold poorly, and Europe split up by 1992. Europe finally reunited w/ John Norum (guitar) returning to the band (same line-up as 'Final countdown'), releasing 'Start in the dark' in 2004... but they decided to change their sound away from their 80's style arena rock... That was why later albums did not have any lasting impact. Europe still persisted though... their last album was 'Walk the Earth' (2017) and Europe still tours and is working on a new album.

This is the "Hellfire" Album, another banger is "Love Chaser"

I used to rock this tape on my Walkman when I was a teenager in the 80s. All these years later, the music still hits just as hard.

Joey Tempest first solo album. A Place To Call Home. Its really good.

Once you get past The Final Countdown, Europe is a fantastic band. John Norum is killer on guitar. And Joey Tempest is a fantastic singer.

You must check old school Europe from their first albums. Check Scream of Anger, Seven Doors Hotel and In the Future to Come.. There are amazing recent live performances from them. Joey Tempest is the vocals, John Norum is the main lead guitarist. Also their newer stuff is quite good where you can feel well their influences such as UFO and Deep Purple. Check the albums Walk the Earth and War of Kings.

The Final Countdown album was a monster album here in Europe in 86. Multiple hit singles from that album alone, The Final Countdown, Carrie, Cherokee, Rock The Night, Time Has Come. The whole album is great. Followed by my personal favorite "Out Of This World" album, with Superstitious and Open Your Heart. Still remember the day i bought the Final Countdown LP in 86, coming home from school and putting the album on the turntable and listening for the first time.

Yes uplifting exactly!

YES! Great album.....Danger on the Track; Love Chaser; Rock the Night; The Final Countdown; Heart of Stone; Ninja; On The Loose; Cherokee; Time Has Come; Carrie

To think it's 2024 i still listen to Europe in the car and most of the cars next to me hear it as well.🎉

Written by Joey Tempest. He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist. John Norum is on lead guitar. But he quit. Kee Marcello is in the video and was on tour for that album. Europe was part of the 80s hard rock and heavy metal scene. Although Europe broke up, it did reunite with John Norum returning as Kee Marcello is no longer with Europe. Now, they are on a world tour to celebrate 40 years of its existence. Suggested music video: Europe performs Carrie.

Vive Europe excellent brilliant talentueux que j'aime ça merci les adorables reacts 🇫🇷🙏💖

I personally like when you dig deeper into bands and singers you like. I might not like all the their songs, but at least I get hear more than the songs I only heard on the radio.

Fan junior high school 86. Band still kicking butt.

There still rocking hard and sounding good! Search Sweden Rock Europe 2023 and you will find that they still sounds better than most band from that time👍

During New Years in 1999 these guys played The Final Countdown and Rock The Night on a barge in stockholm harbor to hundreds of thousands of people in freezing weather. That was amazing to experience.

The MONSTERS of the rock …

Europe always gets blasted as corporate rock, but I like it.

Maybe not the most well known but I really like "Seventh Sign". But you should check out the videos if there is one. Both "Rock the Night" and "Final Countdown" for example has official videos on youtube. They have a lot of good songs. "Cherokee", "Ready Or Not", "Stormwind", "On Broken Wings"..

Heart of Stone from The Final Countdown album

Check out Stormwind and Wings Of Tomorrow from 1984 Also The Getaway Plan from 2006. Much heavier songs. Guitarist John Norum has done some great solo albums. Check out Eternal Flame from Total Control 1987

Check out a ballad song called tomorrow. Fantastic song and joeys voice is amazing. Dreamer is a nother one. And Open your heart. Well the list of Great songs is endless.

lead singer Joey Tempest born Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson in sweden... 19 August 1963...

Another great song from them is Cherokee.

Check out their song Superstitious great video and best song from them. His vocals and the guitar solo are incredible.

One of my first albums I owned, I guess you can say it defined me :)

Iron Maiden concert from 1982 Number of the beast,Genesis-Land of Confusion,,Loverboy-Turn me loose 👍

Please react to Let's Get It On by Kingdom Come and Smooth Up In Ya by Bullet Boys.

Yeah The Final Countdown album is fucking legendary

I played the album endlessly when I was 11 years old... the 80's had good music. All same album... Do CHEROKEE next... Trust Me

Some of the best songs are the ones you don’t hear on the radio

Next try Cherokee

All but superstitious are off the Final Countdown

All or nothing from Europe pls!!

You want uplifting songs, pls listen to Helloween. For starter, pls check eagle fly free or i want out.. tq

The more Iron Maiden the better.

Sweden rocking

Just my opinion , there is so much good music out there and you are reacting to some of the oddest music out there
