EUROPE - War of Kings (Official Video)

[@NathanSamples-ge1lo]

Folks need to realize that this is one of the very best bands out there, I saw them a few years back at the SABAN THEATRE in Beverly Hills, whoa, they were punishingly heavy and mean, not at all like what many fans THINK they are, they just crushed it in every way, and they have been turning out great new platters on a regular basis, if you get a chance to see them, do so, they satisfy in every department!

[@jeffbader2202]

I saw them on the 30th anniversary of the final countdown tour in Germany (Colon) the show was epic. I wish they would tour america with Def Leppard. Covid killed their last USA tour with Foreigner. They are one of my All time favorite bands.

[@fullloot9169]

My father is a 67 year old Vietnam Vet who still to this day says Europe is one of his all time favorite bands! Greetings from North Carolina USA! ps, Europe is one of my favorite bands to :)

[@ADDISON857]

I' m 66 years and i love This depuis 30 ans💝Voice Joey💝so beautiful😘young (cristal) and Older.. Wouah, so good 💝💝FANTASTIC😘😘

[@carinaseis]

One of my top5 's Europe songs!!

[@stereopolice]

I'm shocked at how good this is. It's new, but takes me back to the 80's. Good for these guys.

[@scottieman2]

80s but not 80s. Good mix.

[@ЛилияНагимова-л9г]

Моя любимая группа и конечно сам Joey💚🤗

[@SuperBenblake]

Europe are not afraid to pursue different directions and I love the new sound on this song. Joey Tempest sounds great very much like early metal era Joey Tempest and as always John Norum's guitarwork is stellar. The lyrics are very dark another thing in common with early Europe. I love all of their music. I never stopped loving Europe. I had a Russian/Siberian best friend a long time ago and we were both huge into Europe. I don't care who the guitar player is- they had very different techniques. I guess I prefer John Norum he's tastier, but Kee Marcello is really good too just a lot more over the top flashy. Europe are legends. They are a great band. I like this song a lot.

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

i know right i love the new single too. and europe is my best friend's favourite rock band she is cool.

[@SuperBenblake]

Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum Love them. Great band! This is a really cool song.

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

Benjamin Blake Mitchner the new album is out next month in the uk, i will buy it, if the rest of the album is like this, they could be looking at a smash hit album.

[@SuperBenblake]

Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum I think the new album is gonna be amazing! I hope it's a smash hit for them about time.

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

Benjamin Blake Mitchner i think they need that hit album again, ok they still make great albums. their last album bag of bones i loved, even whitesnake has a new album out this year, and rush do too, so we are looking at a good year with 3 amazing bands.

[@ADDISON857]

Je suis un peu plus âgée que Joey et Europe et j’ai donc connu pleins de groupes avant Eux🔥Pink Floyd, Bowie, Queen, Zztop, b. Springsteen, Billy Idol, Deep Purple, Iggy POP, the Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revivel, Whitesnake...je les visionne à présent car les vidéos, you Tube étaient inexistants🌹et il faut reconnaître que je n’en vois pas UN👎qui ai une telle PRESTANCE et PRÉSENCE sur scène et ce depuis le début et à l’heure actuelle avec le dernier Album »WAR OF KINGS » c’est pourquoi JOEY, EUROPE is wonderfull, fantastic, THE BEST💋un BONHEUR sur scène 💥Thank you MR. TEMPEST, 💕💋

[@ChrisBrooksGuitar]

Yes! Seeing Norum playing a Strat again makes me feel like something in the world is back to the way it was meant to be :)

[@Ineedahandle75]

Yes! It was meant to be this way. Secretly Norum has always been more of a Strat fan. I'm pretty certain

[@jackware1797]

My wife and I saw Europe for the first time outside of Okla City, OK about 16 months ago and we were blown away by the quality of their music. I liked them much when they made Final Countdown but these guys have progressed to the point where they are much underrated and proficient at what they do. They are simply Great. What grabbed me the most when we saw them was they played and interacted with the audience as if it was a large venue and it wasn't (many folks lost out on this one). Additionally, they never once cussed during the whole performance. Not only talented but well cultured too. They probably learned long ago that if you have talent, cussing is not required. We endure enough of that in society as it is.

[@jtsoutis]

Europe Fans UNITE! They are back and slowly building their grace, power and momentum since reforming in 2003. These are clever guys and wonderful musicians, the feeling is we are on the verge of a major release that will BLOW people away! Rock on Europe and please, please come to Australia. From your number 1 fan in OZ!

[@iosifpateroulis1081]

the guitar solo is just awesome !

[@guidobottazzo]

of course .. it's norum!

[@SepiaChild]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3nSgZKZf7WIaJI

[@_CPP_]

It is one of the greatest guitar solos ever. So underrated

[@iedamaria6788]

Som melhor que no passado. E olha que no passado era ótimo.

[@richards416]

Back to their basic roots and also again something else than they've done before. Reinventing them self again and again, great!

[@cameliab9993]

The WONDERFUL VOICE of Joey doesn't let us down!

[@amymikhaeian962]

Such an amazing and dynamic song and performance . Joey's voice is so powerful now. He just gets better and better. One of my favourite songs.❤👍

[@ADDISON857]

Magnificent Vidéo JOEY💝💝War a KING😘no Problem🐤Young💝, Today💝and Tomorrow😘love, love Europe💝JOEY

[@mitchfindergeneral]

This is the most legit album Europe has ever produced in my opinion. Pure hard rock and heavy metal in the classic style. Sounds like Tony Martin era Black Sabbath at times.

[@corrosivecabal]

I was thinking that was a VERY Iommi sounding riff. Good stuff.

[@TSPH1992]

They matured their sound in a incredible way.

[@mitchfindergeneral]

TheSporehacker Couldn't agree more!

[@TSPH1992]

Mitchfynde Europe, Wings of Tomorrow and Last look at Eden are my favourite Europe albums, but this one is probably my number one album by Europe. This album shows how far this band has come since the 80's. Of course they are not the same band from the years of The Final Countdown to Prisoners in Paradise. Since Start from the Dark they realized that the Glam metal movement was in the past and that they needed to evolve their sound and lyrics into something better. Last look at eden (2009) was a step in the right direction, Bag of Bones was ok, but it missed something. War of Kings. Probably my number 1 album by Europe Some would say. ooh it's not like the Final Countdown or Out of this World. Well of course not. They are not the same Europe from the 80's. They are a little older as well + wiser. They matured their sound and lyrics (over the years) and delivered a great album with decent lyrics. A retro Hard Rock/heavy metal album with some influences from the 70's and early 80's (like the almighty DIO), the blues and their first 2 albums. Some bands only get better over the years. And Europe finally sounds mature + as a decent Hard Rock/metal band.

[@Celio19891]

The way I look at it is that Europe started out great with their first two albums and then kind of lost it a bit with the rest of their 80's and early 90's output. Starting with the bands 2004 comeback album Start From The Dark Europe's music has been gradually getting better again.

[@mariacaseres3956]

Este álbum demuestra el porqué EUROPE sigue vigente ,precioso vídeo y una fantástica canción que joey interpreta con mucha energía , y acompañado con músicos de calidad indiscutible. .

[@tinas.9714]

Cleveland House of Blues welcomes EUROPE!! Thanks for playing here in Cleveland guys, it has been a long time coming! I hope it is not so many years before you come back :)

[@bobbyrodriguez3224]

Tight, solid, catchy and great musicianship! The drummers a beast as well as the bass player. Vocals and keys are still awsome and johns tone sounds better then ever! Great music!

[@69rickyjones]

Brilliant... love it... very Deep Purple too... The lyrics are also great.... John Norum as always is stellar.

[@iedamaria6788]

Eu adoro esses homens. Adoro essa banda!

[@jimbodelux]

Dio/Purple/rainbowed influences. Awesome !

[@richards416]

I wanted an up-tempo song, this is what we've got....And i like it a lot! It took about 4 listenings and it hasn't got out of my head. Counting the days until the new album release. Plain rock, classic rock, blues rock, melodic rock, Europe has got it all!

[@MichaelAviel-yi8zw]

I prefer Europe's new material. It has more depth, wisdom, and insight. When these bands get older, their perspective gets larger and it really is something special. I love John Norum's playing!

[@rockrabbitt]

One of finest examples who were once quit but re-started the band.O do appreciate that they are an alive and kickin' band who does not tend to look back over the past.

[@barrwall661]

what a voice, gettin' better all the time.

[@forrest705]

IMO this is the best Europe album yet. Joey's vocals are still strong. Really enjoying that 70's and early 80"s vibe. Between War of Kings and "Pale Communion" by OPETH the two outstanding retro style releases in the past few years

[@mariacaseres3956]

Escuchar y ver a Europe es un deleite musical y visual. Definitivamente GENIALES . 💝💖💘💝

[@aralndria]

EXCELENTE!!!! Joey es el unico de los 80's que mantiene la voz,tiene la mejor voz lejos...

[@georghagglund9338]

Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock was eariler out with a new live-record this year called "Live In Madrid | On A Mission", just now Kee Marcello is out with a new record called "Scaling Up" and very soon Glenn Hughes will be out with a record called "Resonate". All albums a Europe-fan might enjoy!

[@chifanpatt]

Norum is still a beast with the guitar, and Tempest can still sing pretty darn good. Love seeing the gold old strat being used by Norum. Awesome song!

[@veros.5205]

Excellent! Loved it! I wish I could buy the cd now! I love this band !!!

[@karinatube0612]

Oh my God!!! Europe still rocks..yeahhh!!! and My Prince Joey Tempest is gorgeous!!..lots of kisses....regards from Peruuuuu.

[@ivonearai5930]

It sounds just like the 90's Grunge Rock! Simply the coolest ever! It reminds me of the Winger's 3rd album, whose arrangements is similar the 90's, too! Winger also began with a bit of The 80's Hard Rock sound, through "Miles Away". Both of these bands are great!

[@Ineedahandle75]

Easily my favourite record from their second era and probably my favourite of their whole career. Not a single track on this album that I don't love.

[@MichaelaItalia]

I can't concur more with what has been said in the past days about the song and this video is the perfect fit! Majestic, epic, powerful, just so "EUROPE" !!! Never, I say NEVER, understimate these guys again!!! Europe The Band ROCKS! |8

[@jahiddle]

Majestic um no not even close. Epic um no again there is nothing epic about this song. Powerful yeah powerfully awful. To each their own but the only good thing about this song was the keys that's it. Tempest has lost his vocal tonality and they have produced nothing but lackluster material since their reunion.

[@manthis4019]

Gracias europe siempre evolucionando! Y prefiero siempre esto y no bandas recicladas cantando siempre lo mismo y saliendo ahora hechos pedazos a cantar sólo para mejorar sólo sus bolsillos y no piensan en sus fans!

[@ManuelGonzalez-de7ey]

John Norum: Return to Fender Stratocaster. Epic!!

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Heard Joey talk to Trunk about this album and it intrigued me... Holy fuck this is awesome

[@ADDISON857]

Fantastic Joey😘video💝this SONG🐤wouah💝Joey, is the BEST, Men, voice, concerts Magnifiques, et sa façon de bouger😘😘du BONHEUR💝💝

[@pavman1000]

Very awesome! Europe is reviving rock and roll almost seems like it is an endangered species! Rock on Europe!

[@murmandamus1]

The first song on my firs festival in 2017 in wacken . Oh boy it was so good.

[@monicagonzalez4709]

Congratulations to Europe, War of Kings is among the best songs of the century, ranking 51st out of 100 songs in Rock Classic Magazine !!! 👏👏

[@richards416]

In first i had to get used to the dark vibe, as Europe was more kind of happy melodic rock. Now i can't stop listening to this song and all their new work. They seem to get better with age and always able to surprise with new classics. Even live, fresh as always! One of the best and most underrated rockbands ever!

[@cuznred]

so true man

[@therobertbishop]

Amen to that!

[@jahiddle]

Better with age lol I don't think so. They've gotten worse since their reunion.

[@PlasticGirl65]

jahiddle You're on your own with that statement.

[@PlasticGirl65]

NoTreshpassing Glam metal, how?

[@greekfreak1980]

The last album had a sound,inspired by Zeppelin/Bad Company,this one here sounds like Rainbow from the Dio-period.Really cool,the other big 80's bands,who have become lame Pop & Country-acts in the last years, should take notes from these guys. P.S. Is that the Strat,John Norum bought from Gary Moore's family?

[@officialmichaeljessen]

No this is just a plain 1972-reissue Fender Strat that he bought for the Wings Over Sweden Tour last year

[@greekfreak1980]

Michael Jessen Oh,thanks,for the answer.BTW.I checked out your album the other day,it's really good.

[@officialmichaeljessen]

***** You're welcome :) And thanks for the support! Any link and share of my videos on facebook is a big help to me :)

[@tarantulasrus7388]

***** Shows what you know about music then, which would appear to be almost nothing. Europe were big in Sweden long before they were big anywhere else and that was more than 30 years ago. And they continue to endure!

[@Highlander1518]

This album and their previous attempt "Bag of Bones" are very, very good. For those who thought Europe started and ended with "The Final Countdown" need to check out this album and "Bag of Bones". It might just dispel the silly notion that Europe rose and fell during the 80s as "just another hair metal band." I've recently seen Europe live twice and they are fantastic. People just need to look beyond that one infamous song....

[@barrwall661]

I love these guys..... they deserve the best all time honors. Still getting better every year.

[@iedamaria6788]

Também acho isso.

[@SpocksBart]

I can hear Ronnie James in Joey's voice! Great song!

[@juliepearson9771]

Europe are amazing band and a awesome song war of kings ☺

[@mitempest]

Well, Europe amazes me. They are very good actors also, the interpretation is so perfect. So, they´re wonderful musicians, very talented and also great actors :), what a group! Keep on with the good job

[@manthis31]

Genios !! Siempre siempre evolucionando !! Viva el Rock!! Saludos a todos los fans desde Montevideo Uruguay !

[@matsnilson7727]

This is just fantastic! It's obviously not new anymore but IMHO it might actually be Europe's best track ever. Ever since the reunion and the release of "Start from the Dark", the band has gone from strength to strength and managed to find a place in today's musical climate. An impressive comeback, to say the least.

[@scorpionsforever1922]

Definitely not their best track ever... I am glad they returned with Start from the Dark, but since then there has been no real hit.

[@ohnofan]

Just heard the new album and it is incredible. Been a fan since the 80s and while I still love to listen to those old albums, I like the fact that the band has never been interested in reliving or attempting to recreate that time. They've gotten older like all of us and their music has grown with them. Every album since the reunion has been fresh and new.

[@ZerosDarkMetall]

Thank I am europe dreamer in tweeter and I felt very happy to have an answer,Guys I really like your music. That god bless and accompany you always. Greeting and a hug, Mónica.

WoW! This is absolutely awesome! :D :D :D Thank you for rocking us, Europe!!!

[@jakobthejake]

This and Last Look at Eden are my two top favorite modern Europe songs, hands down.

[@DanteL2012]

Saw them live last night, they were awesome!! This song intro sounded ALOT heavier live

[@d.afonsohenriques6346]

One word...astonishing. But top playing.

[@Metalheadrs]

A melhor música de Hard Rock nos últimos tempos!

[@mariaangelica-rd9cy]

Amoooo desde 1988

[@JanPatrickLucas]

ALBUM OF THE YEAR!......AND THE BEST EUROPE YET! I have to be honest, when I first heard a clip of this song I thought "Oh no this album is going to be very moody and wishy washy". I then read a review and it was negative. My faith and interest in the band which has lasted for literally decades was the deciding factor to order the album anyway. Good Lord, when I first played it from front to back I thought to myself "Holy shit....this is a classic!....Sounds like Joey and the boys made the album of their life, serving up a rock n' roll record with all the guts and glory you could ask for. If you like the poppy side of Europe you may not be in to this recording, but if you like the rock side then you'll love it. Could be just me, but this is what I believe to be the absolute best this band has sounded and the best recording they've ever made. You can definitely hear some very prominent classic rock influences throughout, but it's still entirely unique, fresh and has tremendous heart and soul! I thought I was growing tired of rock n' roll, but this album has single handedly rejuvenated my love for this genre, and also a very new found a well deserved respect for this band!

[@issacharrison2883]

Jan Patrick Lucas I love this album and it has to be their best by far. What I don't understand are all these people who say they don't hear any of the old Europe in the music. They have still added a classic Europe touch. I can especially hear it in this song. There is a touch of "Rock the Night" in the chords but much heavier. They have gotten back to their roots, back to actual rock.

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Issac Harrison Right on Issac!

[@AndersKobro]

Jan Patrick Lucas Album of the year by far! Its just bloody amazing.. And im picky!

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Anders Kobro Ya man! So glad you hear this brilliant effort as I do. To me it sounds mature, pure and true, as if they said f*ck it all, let's make the rock album of our lives! Consequently there's a new found respect of this music and band from the true rock n' roll fans like you and I. I certainly hope this masterpiece reaches the magnitude it's worthy of worldwide.

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Zeb VanZandt Thanks Zeb! I'm sure you'll enjoy!

[@iedamaria6788]

Eu adoro a banda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DarrenEvansZozologist]

This has an epic Game of Thrones vibe..... It's neo classical brilliance from the anthemic snare work to the Norum quantum solo this is the best new rock I've heard in s long time

[@wesleyhard86]

EUROPE. continues to do an excellent job, and taking the Rock And Roll the top of the world \ o

[@LobusWobbles]

Love this track and love this album. Only discovered Europe in the last couple of years when I went to see them on their Bag of Bones tour and I am now truly hooked. I love Final Countdown of course, but this new stuff is really gritty and Joey's voice is good and strong. Can't comment on guitarists as I never followed them in the 80s, but the guy I saw on the War of Kings tour was awesome. Long may they continue.

[@richards416]

It's so different from the Final Countdown, the sound, the looks and again a classic masterpiece. Predjudice, gained 30 years ago made them well known as the most underrated rockband ever!

[@ZerosDarkMetall]

la cuenta es de mi hijo, pero encuentro fantástico europe vigente siguen trabajando y lo mejor para nosotros sus seguidores que nos dan la oportunidad de compartir su arte, me encantan.

[@nyoman7087]

Oh my God! I've been waiting for this video since last year and I'm finally listening to it and I love it!!! The video, the song, the guys are all great! Can't wait to get my hands on the CD. Keep it up, Europe! You're doing a marvelous job

Muy bueno!!! Como suena. Tienen que darle mas difucion. En los 80 y hoy son imprecionantes!!!

[@IgorsDeepPurpleUniverse]

I must say this sounds very interesting... it looks to me that we're going to have a sort of Hard Bluesy Rock trilogy from Europe. Last Look at Eden was fabulous album, Bag of Bones slightly beneath but still very good, and now War of Kings is screaming that we will have another interesting album from the... Cheers

[@thelstanegn5348]

Top draw song! this album has it all...Go on Europe!

[@andrewj.c.]

After the rather bluesy Bag Of Bones album (which was not quite my piece of cake) this album marks the return to their original hard rock roots. Very well done guys or - as you say in Sweden - UTMÄRKT!

[@garyblanchette910]

I just saw Europe live this week and let me just say. This video is real laid back. Live Joey and the boys of Europe tore this song up! I mean to say, they were hard pounding and heavy. Maybe a more subdued video and produced sound sells more CDs, who knows.

[@charkvaror2112]

+Gary Blanchette Idk man, for decades I didn't care about Europe but since I saw this vid last year I turned into a big fan.

[@garyblanchette910]

I understand what you are saying. I'm just saying, I would bet if they were to put out a CD live and raw, they would really pull in the crowd that likes their music seriously harder.

[@mr198221]

**This just in** Bands are human and go through things. Dream Theater has dark songs. 'Operation:Mindcrime' was dark Queensrÿche. Not every album can be catchy & poppy. I like this. Makes them seem more human, sort of.

[@monicagonzalez4709]

They always make comparisons to you, you are really unique, you have your own style, for me, you are the best musicians, thanks for persevering in rock music, I love you guys !!
