Absolutely! Gives me goosebumps! Reminds me of 80s movies, like Karate Kid working hard to get better and better, and finally whooping Johnny's ass....that solo is like a story
Oh yea.... no Dought Long Live Long Blonde Hair and the 80s and killer songs best tones best hair best Era best decade ever😂😂 fr tho Lmao 🤘🤘🤘🤝🙏🙏🤍🤍❤️❤️😎👍💯💯👊👊🫶
Born in 1974, I believe I grew up on the best music imaginable. Queen, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Scorpions, Aerosmith, you name it. 80s and early 90s were most fantastic years!
1973 here too. Saw Europe first time at 13y old. Then it has been 5 times more. Still very nostalgic to see them. This summer will be my 6th time. Now my kids started listen to them too. Almost same age as I was back then. It makes me happy to see they appreciate real music.
That 40 second guitar solo tells a story about a young kid who was never quite good enough. Always left out, picked on by his peers, but he kept trying and trying and trying, and practicing every night to not only prove them wrong, but because he knew he possessed greatness. It was a hard and lonely road, but he finally got the chance to prove his doubters wrong on a grand stage, and from that point on he became a legend. He was carried off the stage in slow motion like Rudy. It's a story of perseverance and dedication to something he loved. Never give up on your dreams! I just frickin LOVE this guitar solo!!! Edit: yes, this is my interpretation of what the solo means, and how the sound comes together to tell a story. The story in my mind. Maybe the culmination of 80s movies, or something. But it feels so real to me.
@@jgmdewilde8078 As I understand it there was some kind of conflict with the lead singer. But I don't know exactly what that was about... Also: Don't know if it was part of the reason -- but splitting the money among five band members means more money than splitting it between six...
This whole album is packed with hits. About 1987 take me back right now. I would leave everything, If someone said you have 15 minutes to take this time machine back to the late 70s early 80s and never come back..... I would make that trip.
one of the finest rock bands from Europe!! Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My greatest respect and thanks to the guys of Sweden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always loved this song when it came out. That guitar solo is one of the best ever and I love how the bass kicks in and softens up after that blast of electric distortion for that final verse.
+el guapo Definitely !!!! Kee Marcello was awesome in EUROPE. More than a "replacement" for John Norum. A shame that he's not getting the attention that he deserves nowadays !!
@@zanthony1286 he's the GOAT. No disrespect to Europe's guitarist. That was a great solo on Superstitious. Was he the one who played on Don Dokken's solo release Up From The Ashes?
Joey is magical. He makes you feel what he feels at that moment in time. I wish he would have kept the long hair. They are the best hard rock band that have stuck to it after all of these years. Way to go guys. Love ya Joey
Acho que todo mundo gostava do cabelo dele, más será que ele gostava? Pelo menos Mic manteve o cabelo longo. De qualquer maneira adoro Joey Tempest e toda banda.
One of the best rock songs ever from 1988. I saw this video when I was just 14 years old at the time. DAMN, I MISS THE 1980s, ESPECIALLY 1988!!!!!!!!!!! Does anybody else feel the same way as I do? Please say so if you do. We're in the same boat on this.
I saw Europe at Hammersmith Odeon when this album came out, superb concert, every member was brilliant! Kee's guitar work inspired me for years, still does.
Some songs can really take you back to another time and place; you can close your eyes and actually feel like you've gone back in time. This is one of those songs for me.
I miss the days and times when this song was new. When you could turn on the radio and actually hear great music and the great bands that wrote 'em. And how damn criminal it is that Kee Marcello hardly gets a mention. The man could play anything and everything. So underrated. Smh........
How can you get any better? You can't! Kee Marcello, Joey Tempest together this is magic and I love how much passion they put into their music. This is a song that has stuck with me since the first time I heard it back when I was a kid. Europe are one of the most influential bands ever. You can hear them in so much melodic rock and credit where credit is due for defining European melodic rock give it to Europe and fellow Swedes Treat another great band. And then there's Glory..
A great hard rock song Joey Temptest has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart around the world great song writer. Joey Temptest is one of the greatest voice in heavy metal rock music. Europe keeps getting better n better. Europe is so underrated one of the greatest bands of the 80s n 90s and rock hard today 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹🌲
Not more talent, just different; musical style and taste have changed thats all. It always amazes me how some older people who only want to listen to music that they remember from their youth find it so easy to criticize and condemn all new music of a younger generation and those who are fans of it. But at the same time you dont see a lot of those younger folks express disdain and hatred for their older counterpart nearly as much. Maybe you should look in the mirror grandpa, and see who the real monster is for a change. And Im one of you saying this, so figure that one out. XD
I didn't have cable TV back in the day but remember the album being advertised in rock magazines. I recently discovered this song listening to Hair Nation, great song.
Such a clear singing voice Extremely versatile group Been listening since the mid 80s and still listening . Thanks so much for the decades of entertainment .
I'm an 80's lady! This continues to be MY FAVORITE 80'S SONG!!! I'm turning 49 next week and still listen to this song daily! I have my only child an 8 year old who also LOVES IT🥰🤩💜❤
Genial! Yo tengo más que nada a mi hija de 17 años que le hago escuchar esta música! La ama por suerte! Tengo 5 hijos más! Pero ella ama la buena música como yo y sobre todo en inglés
Definitely. I preferred this Europe over the new version. I grew up with these songs. Kee was a legend although Cherokee, Stormwind etc were also amazing.
Minute 2:37 begins what is possibly one of the best, if not the best, guitar solo in the history of rock and music in general. (so as not to stop clapping) THANKS! 🙌👏👏👏
Quando olho para esses homens penso que eles estão no futuro, não parece que estão no passado. Banda atemporal. Suas músicas são maravilhosas! Joey além de lindo é um grande compositor, todos eles são incríveis!
One of the best guitar solos of the 80s...no question.
YES!!!
Absolutely! Gives me goosebumps! Reminds me of 80s movies, like Karate Kid working hard to get better and better, and finally whooping Johnny's ass....that solo is like a story
Yes. I love J. Norum but they should keep both kee Marcello and Norum.
Yep.
Sweet child'oh mine?
My fave rock guitar solo
What a forgotten gem, and it still sounds great in 2024. 🤘
17 MILLION VIEWS not bad for a song from 35 years ago , August 1988😎
Compared to Final Countdown gets played to death this one is awesome.Even Carrie to Rock The Night
18 now....2025❤
Amazing guitar solo😍
Superb
Impresionante,buenísimo.
Yeeesssss
I know right.. Beautiful...
I agree with you
The personification of sound and Lyrics of a band to still have the justification of being called the greatest band till date by me is beyond.
Guitar solo was perfectly written. Big shoutout to Kee Marcelo for this masterpiece.
you cannot deny, Europe's got style.
Oh yea.... no Dought Long Live Long Blonde Hair and the 80s and killer songs best tones best hair best Era best decade ever😂😂 fr tho Lmao 🤘🤘🤘🤝🙏🙏🤍🤍❤️❤️😎👍💯💯👊👊🫶
Jeez, what a song! That solo is just to die for!
Born in 1974, I believe I grew up on the best music imaginable. Queen, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Scorpions, Aerosmith, you name it. 80s and early 90s were most fantastic years!
I was born in 1973!!! I agree with you
I was born in 1969 I'm 53 soon will be 54 December 19th
As someone born in 2000, im envious of those who lived through the 80s. Absolutely amazing decade music wise as well as fashion, culture, movies, etc
1973 here too. Saw Europe first time at 13y old. Then it has been 5 times more. Still very nostalgic to see them. This summer will be my 6th time. Now my kids started listen to them too. Almost same age as I was back then. It makes me happy to see they appreciate real music.
1975 and still a die hard Chicago and Europe fan.
This entire album/CD is a masterpiece of melodic guitar work.... Kudos to Marcello..
One of the best among the rock group! Still watching 2023...
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎵❤️

So underrated song. My older brother bought the single in 1988, I listened to it over and over on my vinyl record player.

Is that the real story or was it your own take? Never heard Marcello talking about a story of it lol

The guitar tone during the solo is just incredible.
Kee Marcello is the guitarist. Best solo ever
That's Swedish steel chords :-), Yngwee's sounds the same
@@123aegis no
one of the best guitar solos !
Chorus and midle tone max is make that . .
Che spettacolo ❤😍😍😍
One of the best rock song’s of the eighties
Estoy de acuerdo
Absolutely.
I was only a child in the 80's but I miss that times... 80's and 90's, wow , very happy and awesome years.
I miss too.
I miss that also and I'm 53 now listening to this group makes me feel like an old fart😂😂
❤
The west is going downhill since the 80s :(
Here in 2024 still getting goosebumps at that guitar solo....wow!
Ain't that the truth!!

One of, if not the best chord changing solos ever.
It proves that good music will last forever...

One of the best guitar solo ever! Kee Marcello! 🙌
That solo ALWAYS gives me goosebumps!
One of the best and trademark 80s guitar solo...it has got everything in one package delivered to your ears.
Keep rooooock guys, never stop believe in, let only music rule the world fans
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎵❤️
What an amazing guitar solo! 🎸 My favorite Europe song. 🎤🎧
❤
🎸💓🎸
The only guitar solo in rock history that surprises you "with yet more greatness" when you thought the solo is already over at 2:59.
En el año 1995 estuvieron en viña del mar
Y kee marcelo toco en guitarra el avispon verde
1990@@mauriciocastro4865
Absolutely 💯
There is one more solo that gives me the same type of sensation, and that is Nuno Bettencourt's solo in "Get The Funk Out". 😃
This whole album is packed with hits. About 1987 take me back right now. I would leave everything, If someone said you have 15 minutes to take this time machine back to the late 70s early 80s and never come back..... I would make that trip.
Make that trip. 👌
Regardless of everything today, they are my generation and when I listen to them I am twenty years old, (59) who doesn't like to be chased.
i would only go to the 80s, not to the 70s
My love for rock music awakening happened because of this song
One of my favourite solos ever👌
@Anita Maria Yeah he has got to be happy with that...And you have good taste🤷♀️✌
Hola 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😆😆😆😆👽👽👽👽👽👽👽😌

Where are you going to find this music today? Nowhere! The 80s will never be duplicated.
Respect 80's rock legend.
This is a great song
Good memories ❤
One of the best Europe song ever,fantastic hit
Какие в наше время красивые были группы, песни, наша молодость выпала на эти прекрасные годы! Красота, Браво!
Да,это точно. Тогда в 80е был расцвет всех рок групп. Но у нас были модны итальянцы.
one of my favorite guitar solos of all time
I agree, it really is one of the beat from them.
+el guapo Definitely !!!! Kee Marcello was awesome in EUROPE. More than a "replacement" for John Norum. A shame that he's not getting the attention that he deserves nowadays !!
i agree ..and the album is great with most of the song with cool solos
+el guapo It's awsome!
+el guapo I agree totally !!! I can't stop listening to the solo even today. Kjell Hilding Löfbom (his real name) were great
It is no doubt without equal. The very best guitar solo ever.
Seriously!!! Have you heard of George Lynch?
@@rawnbadillo9886 Who?
Google Dokken...Lynch is their lead guitarist. Oh...and you can thank me later bro!
@@rawnbadillo9886 hes good
@@zanthony1286 he's the GOAT. No disrespect to Europe's guitarist. That was a great solo on Superstitious. Was he the one who played on Don Dokken's solo release Up From The Ashes?

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Out of this world Europe best album!
Un des meilleurs groupes de hard rock du monde
The guitarsolo from 2:37 to 3:20 is among the best you've heard. Wonderful harmonies!
Dubbel Henke GLORIOUS!
That's kee marcelo for you
best fucking solo ever!!!
I totally agree with u! One of the best guitar solo of all the time..
Forty-three seconds of pure melodic guitar bliss.
I can't believe this song is thirty years old.
One of the best rock songs ever from 1988. I saw this video when I was just 14 years old at the time. DAMN, I MISS THE 1980s, ESPECIALLY 1988!!!!!!!!!!! Does anybody else feel the same way as I do? Please say so if you do. We're in the same boat on this.
Jose Figueroa Jr. I feel the same, in fact the played live in my country circa 1991
Same here, I miss the 80s.
Yes
Brother FiretribeFan Where are you from?
100% agree
It's a shame people only listen to the Final Countdown without even bothering to acknowledge that they have other amazing songs.
I hate when radio stations keep playing "signature songs"... You are right-- I had the two Europe albums and listened to every piece!!
Final Countdown isn't even their biggest hit in the United States. It barely made the Top 10 in this country.
It's Carrie, which topped out at #3.
Im the only person here listen to this europe song
rock the night, open your heart, dreamer, carrie, prisoners in paradise, hero and many more IS EUROPE, not just final countdown.
fact
The cleanest guitar solo of the 80s
The guitar solo is ADDICTIVE!!!!
So true 😍 !!!
You're right
I can play the solo too. That is how i learned my RIFFS.
Kee Marcello
One amazing guitarist on par with John Norum
Guitar sounds fantastic 👌😍
This was a well written song, europe has alot of good songs
Very very good to see todays teenagers love 80 's music
Hakan D. I'm 14 and my dad always listened to 80's rock and i grew up with it. I still love it!
12 here haha
Very less of them =/ all my friend are obsessed with the EDM shit or pop
Although I have nothing against todays time music, i think that 80’s and 90’s music is sooo much better, so unique somehow
Hakan D. I'm 43 going on 44.
Takes me back , what a band ❤
the best voice of all this rock bands, Joe Tempest
I can't agree with you more.
Its Joey Tempest
Yes ! Joey Tempest very nice voice my hero !
+Bandit666 mjj

That solo is one of the most epic melodic rock solos of all time!
Kee Marcello is criminally underrated.
Agree! Kee is a master!
I would say up there with the best of even Gilmour or Moore...just the feels this gives is enough credential
the most beautiful guitar solo ever.... till date..😍
One of the most legendary arena rock bands of all time!!
Some songs can really take you back to another time and place; you can close your eyes and actually feel like you've gone back in time. This is one of those songs for me.
The Glorious Guitar Solo..❤️
The guitar solo in this is insane. I think it's the most melodic, memorable one I've ever heard. I I've hears many.
Solo comparable con los solos de Brian May
what an amazing guitar solo by Kee Marcello 😎
One of their best songs, with an incredible solo!
The song of my youth. The amazing guitar solo is the synopsis of the whole song itself!
Who said pretty boys aren't talented, this guy can really sing he i has a very soulful voice !!!!!!!
I agree! He has a phenomenal voice, but he's the whole entire package! 😍
