Interview with Kee Marcello | His life, his music & the current situation.

[@Metallex]

Kee is an unbelievable guitarist. His work on Prisoners in Paradise is second to none, my favourite Europe album by far.

[@sebastianelias2927]

Yeah, an awesome player who's been way underrated for years. Killer tone, amazing melodies, very polished technique... A true talent.

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

One of my favorite guitarists of all time. His work on Out of this world and Prisoners in paradise albums is amazing. Solos on 'More than meets the eye' and 'Superstitious' are just unbelievable! Ready or not is such a fun song and coast to coast might be in my top 10 ballads of all time. I can't wait to listen to all the new music by his solo project, easy action etc. Truly iconic guitarist for me and man, would a project with Rod Stewart be awesome!!

[@sebastianelias2927]

Same here. Really an inspiration.

[@AlineRabeloChannel]

Kee Marcello is as amazing as artist how he is amazing as person! I am grateful for to have known his music in early age, because it literally saved me! Thanks for this amazing video. I am glad to see Kee again.

I've been obsessed about Kee's playing for a decade already, and I'm currently working on note-for-note transcriptions of Out Of This World and That Makes One solos. The latter shows a very different approach from Kee than the iconic OOTW solos. The solos on TMO are looser, rawer and full of fierce legato lines like on Let The Good Times Rock. I consider it interesting that in 1986, although still pretty unknown outside Sweden, he was the undisputed champion of legato playing, maybe excluding Holdsworth. While I can hear Allan on numbers such as Talk, Talk, Talk, Kee's off-kilter polymeter legato phrases and ideas are definitely his own. Then in 1988 he almost fully ditched legato except for a few choice bits (like on LTGTR) and emerged as the cleanest and most rhythmically consistent picker in the world, seemingly out of nowhere - I can't think of any recorded examples of Kee's signature picked scales before OOTW. To me, he's still unsurpassed in that regard. His REH lesson on rubato isn't the hardest thing in his phrasing, rather his innate rhythmic sense of beginning the scale runs before or after the one is still pretty hard for me to grasp. His style of playing should be taught in conservatories. It's almost unfair that a single player can excel in picking, legato, melody, phrasing, tone and even very advanced sweeping later on in his career. To me, he's the ultimate LEAD guitar player

[@sebastianelias2927]

Well put... It's a very interesting (and, to me, accurate) analysis of his amazing style.

[@alexbassi5484]

I agree on everything!!! He's the guitar player that influenced me more than anyother. It's exactly what I call "my hero". Absolutely understimated if compared to most big names. And the thing that still drives me crazy is that he has an incredible baggage of experience and knowledge on jazz, fusion, blues, etc..all these influences made this poliedric guitar player with incredible skills and taste. He's the best!

[@anabolic-v3p]

Kee is one of my most favourite guitar players, so technical and melodic at the same time!

[@johnblackberry1087]

one of the greatest european guitar players for his melodies, solos, very american in his style, impacted many musicians around the world

I am a big Europe fan too !. I like the band with John Norum on guitar 👍😀🎸🎸🎸🎸!

[@azurenojito2251]

Joey was right about Homeland. Kee can probably still make a cover of it with Rod Stewart. :D

[@Money.Rocks.Podcast]

KEE FUCKING MARCELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@AndreasZEriksson]

👑

[@angeljoeyAB]

Podía traducirse al español....

[@Rugrat00]

How the he have that thick hairs at his 50s I am 17 and already bald

[@herobandar8257]

He is wearing a wig. Observe how he adjust the wig position at 20:24

[@nakatakafka]

He was beginning to get bald in the Prisoners in paradise era, with Europe. He wears a wig since many years.

[@Nig6tWalker]

@@herobandar8257 its not a wig

[@Nig6tWalker]

@@nakatakafka that is not true

[@nakatakafka]

@@Nig6tWalker Ok, my dear. You´re not only dumm but blind too.

[@angeljoeyAB]

A mí ya no me gustan tanto desde que dejaron tirado a KEE ...pobre hombre ,ya se ve quien lleva los pantalones en Europe lo que dice NORUM es lo que vale y JOEY a callar porque si le lleva la contraria y a NORUM no le gusta JOEY estaría acojonao que le deje tirado de nuevo el bueno de JOHN y se vuelva a quedar sin guitarrista .. en fin muy mal se ha portado el señor JOEY TEMPEST con KEE MARCELO pero que muy mal.

[@JoseAntonio-lk1dm]

For me Kee is better than Norum, Europe with Kee was better,

[@aishahbowron2648]

For me John Norum is the best and rightful guitarist in Europe !. John Norum is better than Kee Marcello !

[@nakatakafka]

You´re absolutely right. Marcello is way better than Norum. He should be playing in Europe now.

[@sebastianelias2927]

Hands down.

[@Nig6tWalker]

@@nakatakafka stop the competition,both guitar players are awesome

[@andreaslechner9576]

@@nakatakafka Kee wouldn't fit to Europe now i think. He likes it more cheesy - just listen to his last Album Scaled Up. But: fantastic guitarist 😎

[@Robert_Fordin]

Very weak questions.
