BANGER!| FIRST TIME HEARING Europe - Rock The Night REACTION

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

I vote for Carrie as well! A great power ballad by Europe. Long hair was very common in the 70’s and 80’s for most groups but fluffy long hair glam bands were their own category of dreamy! Europe, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi etc. are good examples.

[@gennyreese420]

😎 my BFF at the time was Carrie and we went to see these guys together, of course It was so great to hear this song whenever they played it on the radio, but that night they actually dedicated it to all the Carries in the audience, and they all lost their minds. lol

[@robertg7396]

They've done Carrie already

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Early 90s too

[@marcelofarah8657]

it seems they have forgotten but they have already done Carrie. You can find it on the channel.

Europe, had the most popular song on the planet in 1986! And it's still one of he biggest songs ever! But they also had so many other great songs, albums!! Rob squad still needs to React to styper( soldiers under command), would be be a great start! Also, winger(. Madeline)! And more firehouse ( don't treat me bad! More Lita Ford!

Hard-rock group from Stockholm, Sweden. "Rock The Night" was their 2nd single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking @ #30 in 1987.

❤❤❤❤❤ Europe !!!! They’re still touring !!!! They toured couple years ago check out their past tours !

[@medmar76]

"Danger On The Tracks", "NInja" and "Cherokee" are also three great Europe songs! And yes, in the 80's, almost all metal bands had big hair like that!

[@erikthompson619]

We are very proud of Europe here in Sweden. Not only were - and still are - they a great band with a slew of anthemic songs, but their success also paved the way for coming acts, down the line making Sweden what it is today: THE heavy metal talent hotbed of the world. With some competition from our neighbors in Finland and the ever-reliable Germany.

[@alejandro8649]

great comment

[@eightiesjoe6108]

Never forget - I was walking in the Central West End in STL and heard this song from somewhere and just started singing/dancing in the street! Ever since this is in my collection and this video is so fun - makes a Hard Rock Cafe a Europe concert! And I'm sure made the band a little hungrier after performing this song - LOL.

[@daleclark2376]

So glad you guys are digging on Europe, they are one of my favorite 80's bands! If you want their softer side, check out "Carrie." Awesome ballad👍👍✌️❤️

[@LionLeo2180]

According to another comment thread, they've already done Carrie.

[@beverlydust5381]

Mullets grew into long hair in the 70s and 80s, most guys wore a version of the hairstyle during this time period if you were in your teens or early twentys especially if you were in in a rock band.

[@chrishawley1898]

51 year old man from the UK. Love Europe, love your reviews. Wish I could go back in time and hear these songs for the 1st time again.

[@ericgrinstead52]

Try "Open Your Heart" by these guys....great ballad.

[@Aevar_]

oh yes!

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Europe is one of those rare bands, the members of which recognised that they needed a break. After ten years of almost constant touring, they took a long hiatus. Reuniting after a ten year break, they then went on release six more great albums. Their 2017 album Walk the Earth (recorded at Abbey Road) charted in 15 countries. The final track, Turn to Dust, will introduce you to an entirely new Europe!!

[@falison12]

My heart is soo happy you guys went down the Europe rabbit hole. I was a teenager in the 2000s when I discovered hair bands. I came across Europe and immediately fell in love with them. My biggest crush was Joey Tempest. Europe is in my top 5 bands of all times. If you liked Rocked the night, I strongly recommend LET THE GOOD TIMES ROCK, SUPERSTITIOUS, OPEN YOUR HEART , CHEROKEE. I could keep going but I'm going to stop..lol.. Europe is so underrated in the States.

[@Telmaandl6]

Yes 😓😓😓😓😓😓

[@R.POWELL]

Their song "WALK THE EARTH" is around 5 years old and it's a GREAT song. They are still performing too !! 👍💛🌼

[@incantation521]

I concur!

[@skoop7641]

We ALL rocked our hair like that in the 80’s! My kids love the pics from back in the day. 😂

[@nrdztx]

I got this cassette for my 11th birthday in 88. I played the whole album non-stop. Obviously Final Countdown is their anthem with Carrie and Cherokee right behind it. However my 2 favorite songs til this day are Heart of Stone and The Time Has Come. Jon Norums guitar work was amazing.

[@martinsv9183]

They have a lot of good songs. "Cherokee" and "Superstitios" are probably what most will suggest next. But I would check out "Stormwind" and "Seventh Sign" also.. among others.

Europe is an amazing band with many great songs.

[@robday2859]

Final Countdown was such an awesome Album. Final Countdown, Cherokee, Carrie, Ninja, Rock the Night... pretty much every song on that album is a banger!!! It's a shame Europe get such a bad rap, their discology is long and distinguished (no Johnson jokes required). Joey Tempest IMO has one of the best Rock voices - listen to Open Your Heart, Prisoners in Paradise and I'll Cry for You, you'll thank me.

[@optimisticoutreach1236]

Love Chaser

[@danielkarlsson258]

I totally agree! 👍

[@conan5885]

Both The Final Countdown, Out Of This World and Prisoners in Paradise albums are fantastic. My favorite as an album is still Out Of This World, but favorite song will always be Carrie. I will always be a sucker for ballads/power ballads, even if i love the heavier stuff equally.

[@nivras16]

I even love "TOMORROW" their very slow but deep song ❤

[@emmahowells8334]

Knew you guys would love this one, definitely one of my faves, actually i had my hair like Joey Tempest teh lead singer, he was my fave, had a huge crush on him. Other great ones are Superstitious, Cherokee, Danger on the Track, Love chaser, On the loose, time has come, Ready or not. All awesome, i highly recommend. 😎🎸🎵👌

So many great hits from Europe I'll cry for you, open your heart, Cherokee

[@lisagriffin1961]

I love this band and had the biggest crush on Joey Tempest. Every single member of the group are just "purdy" as my southern home folks would say. I think their biggest hit in here in the US was The Final Countdown.

As much as I love "The Final Countdown" this was always my fav from Europe, and to answer your question the cool younger guys definitely had long hair back then. Not mullets, but full long hair :)

Yeah a lot of us fellas had long hair in the eighties, i was in my teens back then and what fun times we had.

Next to listen ; superstitious , stormwind , cherokee or carrie (they completed the album butt the company wanted a ballad because every rockband had one , so at the last minute carrie was added to the album "the final countdown"

[@bjdefilippo447]

Holy cow, indeed, Jay! They rock hard!

[@zatoichi1]

As an 80's teen I can say there was a lot of variety in hairstyles from punk to prep to metalheads. A lot of the styles were definitely big hair styles. Lots of hairspray involved for girls and guys.

[@Italian-iron-man59]

Their song "Superstitious" is definitely another banger!

[@dustinjones8887]

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ssRocker-nn3tp]

Beautiful melodic guitar solo. By the Great and underrated Kee Marchello.

[@badhabitbabbitt7655]

The hair question was yes, we had folks in high school with long hair wearing Canadian Tuxedos that would smoke cigarettes and were labeled as stoners, though I don't recall them with pot. I liked metal/hard rock myself, but my parents would've killed me if I tried long hair. It was hard enough getting Iron Maiden cassettes.

[@kwer8977]

Checking out their 80s/90s discography is a blast, there are a lot of "fun/party" songs with many hidden gems on their old albums but they became an even stronger band when they reunited in '03! Since 2012 They put out three albums, "Bag of Bones", "War of Kings" and "Walk the Earth" that are masterpieces in my opinion, so awesome! And unlike many other groups that have been around for a long time, these guys have actually taken care of themselves over the years and never fell prey to the drug-partying pitfalls that end up ruining bands. It's the same guys today touring and they look and sound incredible! They definitely love what they do!

[@siubhan2047]

OK ok listen, if you want more of this kind of thing I will mention a band no-one else will because they are really, really obscure, but trust me on this, they are the absolute pinnacle of 80s rock. Check out "Giant" and in particular the songs, "Innocent Days" or "I'm a Believer" or "I can't get close enough". Better yet, all three. Lots of blues influenced rock and every single one of the instruments are out of this world. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

We had the mullets in the 80s. The hair-bands took the mullet hairstyle and made it bigger and longer into what you see here. Some everyday non-rockers teased their mullets more than others, but none (that I’ve seen) rival the Europe/Bon Jovi type hairstyles.

You’ve done the first two tracks from the Final Countdown album and should really check out Carrie which is the next track on the album but also one of the most beautiful ballads of the 1980’s and you really get to hear the depth, beautiful tone & power of Joey’s vocals, which is stunning. If you go to the other albums then Superstitious, Prisoners In Paradise, Got To Have Faith, Hero, War Of Kings, Walk The Earth, Days Of Rock n Roll, Halfway To Heaven, Talk To Me, Angels (With Broken Hearts), Forever Travelling, Seven Doors Hotel & Stormwind are the ones to dig into next. To answer the question on the long hair then the answer is yes it was a popular choice for a fan of Rock to have the long hair too. I certainly did and it was amazing too.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Dang this is good. Not very knowledgeable on Europe's catalog, this is a keeper.
