DID WE GROW UP IN THE WRONG DECADE?! First Time Hearing Europe - Carrie Reaction!

[@MikeHart72]

The only bad thing about the 80’s is that they ended. I was a teenager for the decade and it was amazing

[@ingelaperry2253]

Me too. Wish I could go back sometimes

[@chrissykinney1126]

Well put!! So sad they ended!!! We grew up in the best, happiest, BEST MUSIC times ever!! 🙌🏼

[@yeahboiii6640]

Same here 😢

[@andrewchornoby1140]

Born in '76 here. The 80's definitely were a great decade to grow up in.

[@revylokesh1783]

I was born in 1980 so I experienced them from start to finish but I was but a child. I sometimes wish I had been born in the early 70s so as to experience the 80s as a teen. But being a Xennial (as opposed to a true GenX) is great too.

[@Shane-is6pl]

The 80's was an awesome decade

[@robertg7396]

The next Europe song should be "Cherokee." To me, it's a total banger, and it's criminally underrated. It also has some historical references as well.

[@GordonHeaney]

Rock the Night IMO is better. I also think Out of This World is a better album

[@TimoDyer]

Broken Wings also.

[@gingerty9628]

Stormwind or scream of anger... earlier TFC is better.

[@kobiwan9788]

Open your heart both versions

[@christopheessinger6532]

HELLO !! IF YOU LIKE EUROPE, LISTEN ’’SUPERSTICIOUS ’’,’’CHEROKEE ’’,’’PRISONERS IN PARADISE ’’,’’ROCK THE NIGHT’’

[@PaladinZeke]

⬆This 100%

[@anderseriksson3603]

As a Swede that grow up with Europe is it great to se and hear your reactions. Next song should be Rock the night. Its just a really good song from them.

[@grotgrusson5124]

_Rock the night_ känns lite som en parodi på sig själv. Det är en bra låt, men samtidigt känns det lite som en parodi på hela 80-tals rock-eran.

[@michamendalka9902]

One of best ballad in the world

[@nadiamiloudi6610]

The 80 s were great. I was a teenager. I remember this band, Europe. And all the music of this décade. Best wishes from France ❤

[@thomasn3882]

"Maybe we'll meet again, somewhere again." Those lyrics have been punching me in the gut since I was in high school at that time. And in a way, those lyrics hit me even harder now than they did then.

[@martinsv9183]

"Rock the Night" next. They also have a lot of songs that were never played on the radio but are still really good.

[@justjack0715]

Did you grow up in the wrong decade? In a word. YES! 😆

[@janihaavisto79]

Sam's laughter is very infectious... I laughed so hanrd too. Love that. Hi from Finland, I'm watching this on Friday 6th of December. It's Finnish independence Day. So we have a free vacation day and little longer weekend. Had time to look you guys too. Have a great day.

[@johankaewberg8162]

My wife learned English for the sole purpose of understanding Europe.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Yeah, Europe is a great group!!❤❤

[@TimoDyer]

Europe are Swedish. English is there second language. Joey Tempest and Europe are legends. The 80s never die.

[@fatimasoares7261]

"Superstitious" is amazing. And what a great guitar solo...

[@kimzwolinski9919]

The hair was glorious 😂❤

[@gunneledlund6440]

Absolutely one of the best powerballads from the 80's! Europe really didn't write one single bad song, all there songs are great in different ways!❤❤❤

[@DebraMarks-v5k]

The 80’s definitely my favorite time period of music love Joey!!

[@allanunion2709]

One of the finest live bands around

[@paulmarshall4794]

Always been happy that I grew up in the 80s. I was late teens early twenties during that time and it was great. One of my friend's daughter asked me what it was like growing up then and she had a hard time understanding that we grew up without cell phones, without the internet, and that we had a great time doing it.

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

Sometimes less is more. 🙂

[@wettuga2762]

The awesome thing about 80s music is the One Hit Wonders (sometimes 2 or 3) and the bands/singers whose music still lives on today. I have over 300 80s/90s musics on a random playlist that I listen daily on my way home, it's just a great way to relax the mind after a day of work.

[@kajcullberg2744]

Are you calling Europe one hit wonder?🤔

[@shades_of_twine]

Best opening ever. Sam's laugh is contagious. I needed that today. ;) And yes, Europe is amazing band! Check out the song Superstitious.

[@Steffe]

Classic ballad. I remember thinking back in the day that Europe could have written a great James Bond theme song.

[@stefanmodigh6312]

Hi Folks ! Europe was so great , makes me proud to be Swedish ! Nice haircut,Phil. 👍👍👍 Another nice reaction from the nicest youtube couple ! 👍👍👍💕🇸🇪😎

[@JimSteele-ck5vu]

Love Europe

[@joyceellis9722]

I was 23 in 1980. Great times.

[@CollinFeatherston]

They were called Power Ballads back then because of the acoustic sound kicking into the metal guitar!!!

[@dustinjones8887]

The song SUPERSTITOUS is my favorite. Great performance, excellent guitar solo! All around great song.

[@mickem4322]

"Open Your Heart" is another great ballad where Joey`s voice is even better.. :)

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

In my Opinion their best Ballad.

[@TheMikeman1971]

You guys love my generation of music i love it too !

[@assinoe]

This song is very wonderful

[@dannyelliss9427]

As someone who came of age in 80s, I just keep adding to my 80s playlist....now I gotta add this song lol

[@scottallen6160]

Thank you Sam and Phil for continuing to make videos. I love spending time with you both as you add more to your lives with music and more. ✌️😉💕

[@Cthemacman]

“On broken wings” should be next

[@dustbunny1977]

Great reaction guys! Try Let the good times rock,it's an absolute banger!

[@donnasmith5942]

Beautiful song.

[@Mario-it3po]

Power rock ballads that is!!!

[@jaywilliams415]

Brings me back to 1987! I was dating my wife (married 35 years now) and think of her every single time I hear this song!

[@Mare_bear738]

Love traveling back in musical time with you guys. The 80s had it all, including Europe and this song.. oh yeah, and great hair, too! 👍

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thought you'd like this one Mary!

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Ahhh teen years. Lots of power ballads. Love it as well as let’s say Home Sweet Home (Motley Crue) and The Angel Song by Great White. Many other hair band ballads.

[@robbielux8353]

I’m not the hugest hair band fan but I’ do recognize a good song when I hear it and this is definitely one of them. 👍

[@brooksbott3229]

I always loved this song

[@billwong553]

everyone who didn't grow up in the eighties, grew up in the wrong decade.

The 70s were good too.

[@kennykarlsson6691]

A song called tomorrow is a Great ballad song, sadly forgotten about. It really shows joeys vocal range and power . Check it out. Europe is such Great live band, still playing together after more than 40 years. ❤

[@gremmiehodad]

A favorite to jam to at home! I strap on my bass and stand at my keyboard to do beginning and end! With this set up I would add Van Halen's "Jump" and Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home"!

[@Steven91637]

Scream of Anger 👍

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

Yeah the real stuff 😉

[@grotgrusson5124]

This was the classical "last dance" at the school disco. And of course, you danced "tryckare" to this tune. 😁

[@Steven91637]

Dance the Night away live 1986 👍

[@AdurianJ]

I remember new years 1999 in Stockholm when they played on a barge in central Stockholm to rock in the new millenium. That was awesome, never seen so much people in stockholm the viewpoints of the harbor was just a mass of people

[@Boodieman72]

Joey Tempest's real name is Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson and is from Swedish.

Europe,excelente Banda de Hard Rock y excelentes temas,ojalá volvieran los años 80,otra cosa 4 de los integrantes eran Suecos el único Noruego era y es Ian Haungland el batero,y Carrie es un himno de Europe como así también,Tomorrow,Open your Heart,Rock de Night,Supersticius,y tantos temas más.🎸🎸🎸

[@STYXFRKS]

Superstitious should be the next song. So good.

The good old 80's Miss Them.

[@Steven91637]

Rock the Night 👍

[@jvidalw]

fun fact: the guitarist who appears in the video (Kee Marcello), didn't actually play on this song. John Norum did, but he left the band before the video was recorded.

[@swedeman5785]

If they wanna compare,Europe was on Tour less than a year ago,so they can see what they look like today

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

To answer your title question................. Yes, I'm afraid you did. But no worries! You got us old folks to take you by the hand and take you back! 🙃

[@wjameswright]

I was in my 20s and you are absolutely right

Two other great songs similar to this one are Firehouse - Love of a Lifetime and When I look into your eyes

[@ragnarmyhr7238]

When your in Scandinavia . I hope you will hear out, TNT with10 000 lovers.

[@BlackieNuff]

Hey Phil, as long as you can keep your lady laughing, don't question it - just go with it! The alternative is yelling, hahaha. Seriously though, I had a good laugh when you caught yourself repeating yourself, but when Sam started laughing I laughed harder... one of those comedic contagions, lol.

[@tungguy1971]

They are still rocking out today. Check out the song New Love in Town.

[@elysium.ai.6203]

Thank God i was born in right decade,in 80s. 😅 Check out another swedish gem-Tommy Johansson.He is multi- instrumentalist with voice of angel(Angels can belt notes very high,you know😅) By the way he did a cover to Europe's Rock the night and Sign of the times.Brilliant job!❤Check it out!

[@gustavk962]

Seven doors hotel and Scream of anger show the rougher part of Europe - when they sounded more like Gary Moore/Maiden and other heavy metal acts.

[@nathanielthompson208]

Sign of the times is so good and deserves to be reacted to

[@Danny_Inflames]

Cherokee❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@atyrws]

A girl in their 80ies Sweden were probably called Carina or Carin, americanized to Carrie.

[@Steven91637]

Stormwind live 1986 👍

[@gingerty9628]

My fave

[@lordbiscuitpowerslam]

I commented before I knew it was Carrie but this is a great song as well

[@carlgraham4212]

The song "Carrie" is about saying goodbye and understanding that life can change unexpectedly. The song encourages the listener to cherish and appreciate the present moments with the ones they care about. The singer is saying goodbye to someone named Carrie, but it could also refer to any situation or relationship where two people have to part and not be together again. The singer conveys the emotion of the situation by using the lyrics "Can't you see it in my eyes? That this might be our last goodbye" to emphasize the sadness of saying goodbye. The song ultimately hopes for future reunions and for everything to work out in the end.

[@christopherleonard8313]

Notice how the whole first verse his hands never left his pockets lol. Talent lol

[@jamesnorthup7717]

Pretty much all of the final countdown album was great!!

[@kryssieaston3771]

OMG, nobody suggesting "Ninja"? Really?? Some of John Norum's best work on that one.....

[@emmahowells8334]

You should check out their songs called Cherokee and Superstitious & Rock the night, I think you'll love those too. 😎👌🏻🎸

[@Myrslokstok]

He is just very underated as a male singer in Sweden.

[@TheMadeofhonor]

Europe, Legends! React to Rock The Night next :)

[@oscarzeime1334]

Rock the night!

[@annemieverhoeven2566]

You guys REALLY need to comment on their song "Yesterdays News" or "Girl from Lebanon". You will not be disappointed,for sure😊

[@figueiredra]

Recommend Whitesnake - Is This Love

[@popeye807]

Have a listen to one of their recent songs " One Last Look At Eden." By recent I mean 13 years ago. I think you'll like it.

[@patrikwennergren6796]

If you want another banger for a power rockballad with Europe a listen to "Open your heart" is a must :)

[@kobiwan9788]

Hi guy if you want more ballads from this legendary band list to ' Tomorrow' and ' Dreamer' they are incredible and vastly underplayed

[@williamreiser3118]

Cherokee is a good song Rock the Night final countdown of course this was a ballad that was a monster hit this is one of those songs when he would sing it to the audience the girls will be throwing bras up on the stage

[@MartinMcMartin]

I can see Phil's thoughts, laugh at me will you, okay then it will make it into the edit.

[@LDDC7080]

The guitar and solo in this song was recorded by John Norum original guitarist. In the video the performance is by his replacement Kee Marcelo who imho was a better fit for the sound Europe were morphing in too . Marcelo is much more melodic and knows how to blend melody and technique as good as anyone . A perfect example is the song “superstitious” a great solo

[@RealDiehl99]

Looking forward to this one. The Final Countdown was my first ever album (on cassette). I was in 5th grade (11yrs old) I think when it came out.

[@floridabjoern]

Was the first album (vinyl) I ever bought by myself. Still love it.

[@RealDiehl99]

@floridabjoern cool! Mine was a Christmas gift. The "first" anything tends to hold a special place in one's heart!

[@TheVargen1971]

Kee Marcello in the video but guitar’s played by John Norum

[@giselamesquita5124]

This lyrics, are based on a real girl ...this Song has been inspired on her and their short story... He saud that in an interview years ago...

[@ronaldnelson6692]

I have a good one for you since we are going into the holiday season. Check out Oh Come All Ye Faithful by Twisted Sister.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Joey Tempest and Mic Michaeli. Simple rock ballad. I remember this when I was a boy 👦. So many teen girls and university age women wanted Joey Tempest especially thos song! L 🤣 L Suggested video 📹: Europe performs Cherokee.

[@Variousmotivation]

Cherokee is nice song from them too

[@rbdesign]

Thank you for reacting to our band from the childhood. Next song should be Rock the night and you should also check out Tommy Johanssons cover of that song where he plays the yellow guitar that he bought from Europe.

Ahhh, my generation had the best musicians ever. That is over. All you have today is performers. And rent a guitar. So sad. Yes bands were difficult, and fussed and fought, but when they performed, they were magical.

[@olzzon]

" Wet eyeballs " sure sounds like a good 80s bandname 😂
