Who is better? Let me know in the comments below!
In my opinion, I think John is the better guitarist because his style of playing is very improvised. He likes to add little touches while playing. On the other hand, Kee is more of a proficient guitarist. He plays the songs exactly how they play them which was good for the time we did Out Of This World and Prisoners In Paradise. It suited him well there however, I just favor John's playing but both are very solid guitarists!

Both are superb guitarist for sure! John is the original and so there's alot of love and the fact that he's long back in the fold will make the purists happy! That said, Key came in, did a fab job and kept Europe running for a good while, well I'll always be grateful for that and his work on out of this world stands up for itself! Both are talented gentlemen with their own merits! I'm thankful for both of them! 👏👏👏

Those would be players like Warrren DeMartini or George Lynch or Paul Gilbert if we're talking about someone with a similar technical level. Kee's style is very continental European.

Norum's playing takes the best parts of Gary Moore and Michael Schenker with his own unique spin on it - a style that was one of the keys to The Final Countdown's success, and thus why we all know the band Europe today. Marcello admitted that he wasn't even a fan of Europe's music before he joined. He was just a hired gun, not a true fit for Europe's sound, but he did well nonetheless. Kee isn't in the same universe as John.

@@andreaslechner9576 That's nonsense. Any real Europe fan knows that they were an inferior band with Kee in it. He messed up the chemistry (which is what Ian Haugland once said) and the band lacked fire and passion without John. Kee's solos are nothing compared to John Norum's. Norum's playing fits Europe's sound. If Kee played at a higher level they would've kept him, and he wouldn't spend all his time bad mouthing Europe and doing terrible covers of their hit songs.

@MrMvidz 2 жыл бұрын

@@dougmasters4579 It's not nonsense, I've seen what Kee can do, went to school with his brother. What suited Europe best is just subjective, and it's no surprise that John fitted Europe very well as he grew up with the band. John was not a big fan of the lifestyle though.

@dougmasters4579 2 жыл бұрын

@@MrMvidz It's not subjective. It's a fact. Europe broke America and then the entire world thanks to the partnership of Tempest & Norum on The Final Countdown album. Norum didn't just grow up with the band, he actually founded it with Joey, and they built their sound up together over many years before TFC became a hit. Their chemistry is basically Europe's entire sound, and Joey has said this on many occasions - he calls it 'the fire'. Joey flew to LA and begged John to rejoin Europe after he left them. What does that tell you? Kee was never a true member of the band. He, like many rock musicians, has an ego which tells him that Europe was successful because of him. The fact is they were far weaker with him in the band, so much so that they only lasted two albums with Kee before Europe split up.

@MrMvidz 2 жыл бұрын

@@dougmasters4579 Did you read this or do you have an actual relationship with the band members or people around them? They put the band on ice as they realized that grunge was going to make them obsolete, which happened to so many bands. It was a good decision back then. I followed them here in Sweden from being just another talented local band, winning a band contest and so on. Clearly, Joey and John was a special combination, but while Joey was more extrovert, John was quite the opposite. Kee was from my hometown, some 400 miles north of Stockholm, so he didn't grow up with these lads - BUT - his relationship with Joey started earlier as they did a project together and when John quit, Joey didn't have to audition a ton of guys, he knew Kee would fit the bill.
