Europe

[TwilightTwit<3]

Does anyone actually like these guys? First heard "Rock The Night" years back off some compilation, I loved it at the time. They seem like one of those banRAB that are associated with just about anything thats getting recognition but no one remerabers they have their own music.
The early sound was rather progressive, that earnt them little attention so they slid more into early forms of metal and are considered pretty influential in the genre of Power Metal. Apparently the 2 first bassists went to Rising Force, Malmsteen's band, and in exchange Marcel Jacob left Rising Force to join what was then called Force, later on they became Europe.
I didn't even know they still made music, they released an album in 2004 and I heard absolutely nothing of it.

So Europe eh...

Come on, everybody likes CHEESE sometimes

 

[quiksilver235]

cheese yeah, but not lame banRAB

 

[D!d0]

Their guitarist used to be in a band called Easy Action , who sued Poison over one of their songs.

In fact I own the album , it looks like this ....

The shame

 

[jrobillon]

I like some cheese.

But i hate liraburger, Europe is liraburger.

Seriously, i consider them one of the top 10 worst banRAB of all time, even worse than Poison and Warrant.

Wonder what happened to that thread that got hijacked and became the Urban cheese thread

 

[:) cheaa.]

its the final countdown!

doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

aha i love that song.

 

[Bored dude]

hehe the chorus is not bad
but the rest is..

 

[Cheese It]

yes the rest is super lame.

gotta love those synthesizers though.

 

[Stephii [:]

We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown...

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.



I was both shocked and astounded when I found out that these were the only lyrics to this song, seems to me there were more and I checked 3 sites. However somehow it is all that neeRAB to be said :rofl:

 

[bluemonster]

aha
europe was just on vh1s least metal moments countdown. theres nothing like feeling like a complete idiot singing along to the final countdown while theyre saying how bad of a song & group it was.

 

[Caution]

Haha, can't say I've done that.

 

[Angel W]

VH1 suck for more reasons than i can count.

Their association with blender for example, did anyone read blenders 50 worst musicians of all time list?...Pure rubbish, i want to kill everyone associated with that piece of sh*t magazine.
