John Norum's awesome guitar riff (later replaced by Kee Marcello) made history, as did singer Joey Tempest's phenomenal beauty! Wonderful creature today as then ❤️
Thanks for the cool reaction, since I love this band, I'm watching all reactions for "The Final Countdown" lol really i mean it, yes we have iconic bands from Sweden, another one you haven't mention is Ace Of Base.
This is one of those songs where you cannot imagine people not knowing it. Such a classic. I don’t think many hardrock or metal fans in those days liked this as it probably was too poppy and mainstream, but good music is good music. And this is certainly good music.
Essa reação foi feita com a versão de estúdio, agora esse é de um show ao vivo, maravilhoso! Eles sempre foram ótimos ao vivo, e são até hoje, esse ano estão comemorando 40 anos de banda com os integrantes originais, está aí o link. Não é pra qualquer um.😎💯👍th-cam.com/video/pPe1FUJ5PPI/w-d-xo.html
No wonder Sweden gave us arguably the best guitar player of all times Mr. Yngvie Malmsteen. Almng many but I like Stanley Jordan. Hey you might do the reaction on 3g firtst concert. Him, Stevie Vai and Joe Satriani. Amazing! o yeah i thick Brian May was special guest.
The final countdown is my old time favorite song and still it is! And about half a year ago i was sitting in the tram here in Amsterdam and i heard a voice behind me and that was.. Dr. Alban.. i said something like "it is better to color the world" and watching outside because it was not good weather. But ofcourse one of his songs is Color the world😉 i was too scared to ask a picture with him
Last night when I was driving my son to pick up something to eat, this song came on our Sirius. He knows and likes it, I’m pretty sure it was on some iteration of a Guitar Hero or Rock Band. I told him this one always reminds me of Rock You Like a Hurricane by the Scorpions. If you haven’t checked that one, it might by fun to react to as well. And also I Winds of Change by the Scorpions as well
As a proper fan of EUROPE though, I never take John Norum over Kee Marcello, or vice versa....I speak of them both in the same breath, and am an equal fan of both guitarists. They each bring a different style to the plate, and to me, that's enough. Plus, both put in the work to be truly memorable in their craft. And I'm thankful that both have had the bravery to showcase their talents to the world. =)
it`s the 80s . And alot of White american rock bands looks like that to if not more. And Dr Alban wasent really special. And he was a really bad artist:))
Yes! This song was #1 in 25 countries and enjoyed by billions! This is not perfection, this is more than perfect! The people that think this is not perfect are nitpicking and are jealous saying like there's too much keyboard in a rock song, not hard enough to be a rock song, and my favorite, they're not Americans.
This song has the 80's written all over it....BIG hair, BIG explosions, BIG egos, and of course the obligatory tight pants....and yes, over a BILLION VIEWS!!!
The SULTAN, Euro rock at it's finest, Europe are mostly known for this but they are fine musicians and are really an album band, typical 80's big hair and big vocals, in the same genre, check out U.F.O with "DOCTOR DOCTOR " you'll love it, featuring one of the best guitarist in the world MICHAEL SCHENKER. take care kid.
We all take them (and other good musicians) for granted. If you think, they were in their early 20s here....to come up with such good songs, to master instruments at such young age....in the 80s you had to be good to make it.
Musical Youth: Pass The Dutch. you'll appreciate their backstory ..i promise. M: Pop Muzik.. another one where you'll appreciate his backstory. there's two for ya bro
I don't know why this "official video" has so many problems with the audio. There's an absurd amount of flutter in the sound that just shouldn't be there.
Guau! Yo tuve la suerte de verlos en persona. Eran unos tíos de 1'90 con unos cuerpazos unos pelos largos y rubisimos de escándalo y Europa entera se enamoró de ellos

Ah the 80’s. Brings back memories of big hair and great music!

Joey was gorgeous! I loved the glam rock of the 80s.

If you enjoyed that, off the same album are songs Carrie, Cherokee, and Rock the Night (although they weren't as catchy as the Final Countdown).
it's funny how good the swedes are in making simply great modern music from ABBA,Roxette ,Europe ,Ace of Base and etc....
Abba was another famous band from Sweden, as well as Roxette.
Yes 😊

Best Europe guitar solo - “superstitious”
Best Europe video - “Rock the Night”
Thanks, i watch now
That's what a kick-ass rock band is all about!!! Joey Tempest has always been my hero. Greetings from Italy

Europe sigue tocando y siguen tan vigentes, cómo siempre!!

Love that show
😂🤣 I know what you’re talking about have watched it in its entirety 3 times so far 🤣 TBH that’s the only reason I was excited to watch this reaction
Greetings from New Orleans..digging the reactions and commentary!
Thanx Richard!
Oh, thank you for the compliment!! 😆 🤣 😂 🇸🇪
Fun fact, the -köping in Linköping is cognate with English Chipping, meaning 'market town.' Like Chipping Norton!

this song of my favorite band sounds in every places and the radio you hear the first time really jajajaja i don't believe you .
The album version continues to play until fade out. Great reaction! :)
Can't believe you've been to Linköping. Of all places. I live just one town over, in Norrköping. Back in the day I used to like Ian. The drummer.

"Out of this World" has some of the tastiest guitar work from Kee Marcello you'll ever hear.
As a proper fan of EUROPE though, I never take John Norum over Kee Marcello, or vice versa....I speak of them both in the same breath, and am an equal fan of both guitarists. They each bring a different style to the plate, and to me, that's enough. Plus, both put in the work to be truly memorable in their craft.

My town BROTHER 013. Was She form Skäggetorp;)
This song always gets stuck in the head! Haha
it`s the 80s . And alot of White american rock bands looks like that to if not more. And Dr Alban wasent really special. And he was a really bad artist:))
Doctor Alban the ex dentist
Tienes que escuchar Let the goog times fron Europe. Me encanta
"Perfection" might be a bit too strong of a word
Yes! This song was #1 in 25 countries and enjoyed by billions! This is not perfection, this is more than perfect! The people that think this is not perfect are nitpicking and are jealous saying like there's too much keyboard in a rock song, not hard enough to be a rock song, and my favorite, they're not Americans.
Welcome back to Sweden 🇸🇪
Greetings from sweden!
Sabaton,last dying breath please 🙏👌
I have never heard this song. Thank you Harri
Do you live on Mars ?
@@nicolasarbogast2739 prob on Venus 😂
The guitar is Jon Norum best guitar
This song has the 80's written all over it....BIG hair, BIG explosions, BIG egos, and of course the obligatory tight pants....and yes, over a BILLION VIEWS!!!
Singer also has a beautiful voice !! This song was used in Silvester Stallone's movie when he was a champion fighter in Rocky 3 or 4? I think!
Mi grupi favooritooo

This song means one thing to me: GOB Bluth.
YES!!!!!!!!!!! I love that show! Great call!
“Illusion, Michael. ...
If you would like to hear the best guitar player check out zakk Wylde ( Mississippi Queen ) I think you'll agree.
Take a listen to Queensryche
Live 1984 or 85 in Tokyo the song is called / Take Hold of The Flame
Musical Youth: Pass The Dutch. you'll appreciate their backstory ..i promise. M: Pop Muzik.. another one where you'll appreciate his backstory. there's two for ya bro

Ever heard I Believe in a thing called Love by The Darkness? If you review this song do the music video. Its a trip.
Yes, Roxette europe and Abba are swedens greatest bands, and ofcourse we have ikea 🤣🤣
football games marching bands and Gob on Arrested Development are what come to mind hearing this again 🙏🌞
Still got my hair and it's longer even now!
Probably their baddest song !
This is the hairest of hair bands
Joey’s voice is so silky, very unique, that high note he hit right before the guitar solo is breathtaking
A Swedish group
From Sveden also came Svenne & Lotta. Almost at the same time as ABBA.
Svenne passed away this weekend. One of many lost to the pandemic.
😁👈❤️❤️❤️🕊️
It’s one of the most hideous songs that I’ve ever heard. Cringe
