Guitarist Kee Marcello, now releasing the self-titled album with his new band Out Of This World, talks about when he joined Europe right before their popularity skyrocketed, being mobbed at an airport by fans, and his contributions to the creative process of the 1988 album Out Of This World.

Kee, to my opinion you were the best and most melodical by far guitarist of the band and only. Just keep rocking please

[@mrmaxaxl]

YES! He sounds amazing on both those albums! My favorite Europe album by far, is "Prisoners in Paradise"! So many cool songs! And with a lot of diversity. Perfect production too.

[@chrissttiiee]

@@mrmaxaxl : Exactly 💯 Kee rocks!

[@a.nelprober-rl5cf]

That doesn’t even make sense

[@albertobigcal7650]

😂😂😂 Yeah Right 😂😂😂

[@kayokk-]

Kee Marcello is a legend! Much admired by many guitar players across the world.

[@marky666g]

out of this world was made into a musical masterpiece down to kees playing

[@dest8637]

Kee thank you for all the outstanding solos on the records and LIVE!!!

[@alicechain8379]

The first record of EUROPE l heard is OUT OF THIS WORLD. So Kee is EUROPE,EUROPE is Kee！Prisoners in paradise is one of the best record I heard.

[@jimsim777]

One of the best guitarists of the 80s

[@chrissttiiee]

Of all time

[@davidlindblom9275]

Your solo in More Than Meets The Eye is one of the greatest ever!🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸

[@Macovic]

One of the greatest guitarists ever! PIP outtakes are amazing as well. Som of the best music ever.

[@jazchaz1274]

Brilliant Guitarist.....I remember his solo featured Flight of the Bumble Bee.....Technically superb...looked the part...Keep Rockin Kee.......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MarkMarks-hb3uy]

Went to see his gig in Stockholm on 4th April playing songs from Prisoners in Paradise and Out of this world, totally amazing gig and got to meet Kee and had a brief chat, he was such a nice guy and very down to earth..I will remember it always.

[@aracy_de_almeida]

Underrated and injusticed musician.

[@MayKuroiTarot]

I see a lot of butthurt people in the comments. Whether you like one over another it doesn’t mean you can freely insult either of them. Grow up. Kee Marcello did a great job for Europe and he is a great guitarist. Life was not easy for this man, give him a break. He is here giving an interview with his best intentions and some people can’t even say something nice. I wish I could give him a hug and tell him there’s people that admire his work over the years.

[@user-yu1dc6bv6k]

Поддерживаю,вы правы .

[@reubensylvester8818]

key's guitar playing was great!

[@Carrillocaster]

You are a big inspiration. Back in the day, Europe played in 1990 biggest festival in Chile (viña del mar) and at the time i was into rock and starting to play guitar, but when you took the stage, it was just mind blowing. Right now our local band (New Jersey, based un Concepción Chile) it's making an Europe special concert. My job it's the hardest. To this day it's F1 playing and need serious chops to attempt it. Thank you for your music.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Kee Marcelo & Gunnar Westlie (Da Vinci) they have been probably the best guitarists that have ever existed in the Nordic Melodic rock scene.

[@KJLT20]

My grandpa is actually Kee Marcellos friend🤘

[@Larry-rz4ed]

All I can say is superstitious solo is one of the greatest ever, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and one of the best solos I've ever heard, definitely my top 10 💯

[@bankabaver4583]

The solos on Out of this world and Prisoners in paradise are for sure som of the best ever, in the history of rock 🤘😎🤘

[@Ragnarocker80s]

Kee Marcello brought metal riffs to Eüröpe after John Norum sudden departure Sign of the Times 🤘🏻

[@berenicepintomarincovich2369]

Kee marcello king of the king the guitarr 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@juancas-cas9570]

Impressive document! Big LIKE!! 👍

[@guitarhilley]

Kee...one of my biggest influences on playing melodical solo's...His solo spot in the concerts back in the eighties where a big inspiration. Goosebumps watching the fusion parts before they kicked in Flight of the Bumblebee.

[@KJLT20]

My grandpa knows him😂

[@guitarhilley]

@@KJLT20What are you trying to say?

[@The.Doctor.149]

You’re still remembered and missed buddy! 😉👍🇬🇧

[@user-ol5xu8cm4l]

Girl from Lebanon one of my favourite intros

[@user-qb1is8rm6p]

Мне Ки Марчелло очень нравился в "Европе",это было зрелищно,огонь,пересматриваю его игру,жаль,что не вместе с Норумом в "Европе"

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Thanks for the video.

[@cicimbello]

Kee is monster guitarist!

[@lassel1644]

Kee replicated Johns stuff note by note on the first tour. I havent heard John doing the opposite. Some Kee parts was crazy technical.

[@The.Doctor.149]

I found John to be very arrogant until Europe reformed. I like him now, but Kee is still missed, John didn’t have his soul for many years, and I’d still prefer Kee on tour with them. Great, humble guy, as were Joey, Mich and Ian. 😉👍🇬🇧

[@aishahbowron2648]

Norum >Marcello

[@johnraina4828]

@@aishahbowron2648 Kee >> John

[@aishahbowron2648]

@@johnraina4828 well I love John Norum the best !. I don’t like Kee Marcello very much !. I hate Kee !

[@RaginRonic]

John and Kee aren't better or worse than one another...just different. I'm an equal fan of both, because both did the work to be memorable. If both collaborated on something, I think the end product could be beyond awesome. =)

[@davidvanberkel5599]

Two great guitarists 👌💥

[@SepiaChild]

Kee Marcello is on most of Eüröpe videos except The Final Cöuntdöwn 🤘🏻

[@chrissttiiee]

An unsung hero 🎸

[@aishahbowron2648]

My favourite Europe albums are Europe, Wings of Tomorrow, The Final Countdown, Start From The Dark, Secret Society, Last Look At Eden, Bag of Bones, War of Kings and Walk the Earth 👍😀🎤🎸🎸🥁🎹🎼!. My favourite Europe guitarist is John Norum 👍😀🎸!

[@kurtschrotenboermixjams9439]

So far IMO Dog Eat dog was your best video performance. Great solo too. IMO you should keep that lineup.

[@hughrocko6791]

Un real kee wow but that band was ace tho. I see you I Edinburgh on the out of the world tour with dare both bands wer on fire one of the best concerts iv been to still wow

[@chrissttiiee]

My 16 yo grandson digs on Kee!

[@azurenojito2251]

You should have recorded demos of the songs you had. Maybe you have them and would share some day?

[@Stefan42537]

For me you are one of the classical guitar players of the 80s and early 90s. A guitar hero of mine. And I know many agree.

[@sebastiancripta91]

Marcello → Norum.

[@ridehead8771]

Norum is great but Kee elevated the band, the solos he did were nothing short of amazing, super clean, fast and melodic as hell. Norum can't even play his solos right, Kee rules!

[@Krystof.Veritae]

Great Over all guy and guitar maestro .....real world performer and player .....not a YT guitar hero \-/

[@rudygracia5573]

As I'm hearing Kee talk about Crazed Fans,I'm green with envy!!I'm like"Rabid crowds,danger.."I hate you!!haha!!jk.We should all be so lucky.How many of us unsung musician heroes wouldn't give a limb for THAT experience!?

[@rudygracia5573]

Norum left on his own free will,cuz he wanted to play harder edged/faster rock music(I read years ago).Kee was lucky to have just been IN the band Europe.Cuz they were already established.Forget ignored songwriting ideas...

[@Quila74]

LOL 😂 Norum and Europe had just toured Japan.They were no 1 in 25 countries!You came in as a substitute like Joey said.Understand you have a hard time remembering given your drug addiction

[@RaginRonic]

I think that addiction was triggered by the bad advice given to him by Thomas Erdtman, Quila....Thomas did some REAL greasy shit back then, and had I been around the band then, and found out about Thomas' BS, I'dve knocked 'Tommy Boy' out and sued the living hell out of him. o.o

[@Quila74]

All BS! It was John Norum who did the tour in Japan with Europe in 1986 not Kee. Kee was an addict and got kicked out of band🙏

[@richardstewart7324]

Kee is more technical for sure listen to solo in superstitious.

[@tonysarrio8940]

When people ask who I liked better with Europe, John Norum or Kee Marcello? Thats like asking if I prefer Fillet Mignon or Fillet Mignon.

Sorry Kee Marcello fans , I don’t care what you think. I love John Norum the best !. I don’t like Kee Marcello

[@micheleeurope]

Gran chitarrista che gli piace circondarsi di “ yes man” , vuole continuare a vivere all’ombra degli Europe ostinandosi a cantare lui i propri album 🤦…. I fan vogliono canzoni degli europe? Tu vui suonare gli europe? Beh allora prenditi un cantante che ricordi gli europe anni ottanta! Guarda steven Adler, dal dimenticatoio alle stelle! Il segreto? Si è aggrappato alla miglior cover band dei guns!…. E gli skid row? Beh hanno preso erik gronwal! …. E tu? Beh continua a cantare che i pub non te li toglieranno nessuno 😂😂😂😂
