Talk:Europe (band)

message: i guess some of you havent realised about Europe's band members being from Norway also, which is not a mythical place of some kind
Therefore Europe is a Swedish/Norwegian band - val hallen  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.72.133.176 (talk) 17:12, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Europe's Norwegian band members

message: *Because of the frequent use of keyboards especially in The Final Countdown, shouldn't Europe be considered a synth/space rock band (just like Whitesnake, who also was a glam metal band that often used synth)? -- Wolfinator-x  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.59.126.254 (talk) 20:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Synth Metal? 

message: *I have this album called 'All or Nothing', but there's no information about it's existence here or on the Europe's official webpage. WTF? -- Cannibal
*Well I know that All Or Nothing is the first song on Europe's 1991 album Prisoners In Paradise, so maybe you have a single of that song? - Station82o
*All or Nothing is a 'Greatest Hits' compilation. There are numerous Europe compilations available. I've chosen to list only the compilations that the band members themselves have put together - 1982-1992, its reissue 1982-2000, and Rock the Night. - Aphasia83 18:09, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

message: *I don't think Europe should be categorized as a glam metal band, because they are not. They should be called a melodic hard rock band- ~~Aishah Bowron~~
I agree they are not the best example of a glam metal band, but you have to consider they have been influenced by glam metal. Remember glam metal is not only about make-up and glittering clothes. If you consider songs like Girl from Lebanon or Danger on the Track, you can hear glam metal influences in them. They are very melodic in all their songs though, I can see your point. I think it is right to keep genres as they are now, keeping hard rock, heavy metal and glam metal.FateForger (talk) 17:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  categorizing 

message: *I recently purchased Europe's greatest hits 1982-1992 and in the booklet, the band claims to have scored two #1 singles in the United States with songs "Carrie" and the "Final Countdown". This is from the album cover and they said that scored four top 20 singles form the album, The Final Countdown.  I'm reading the booklet from the album. The band claimed to have scored two American #1 singles- Jason
*I'm reading the 1982-1992 booklet right now, and it does claim that "Carrie" was number 1 in the US, and that the Final Countdown album scored four Top 20 singles. This is not true, however. "Carrie" was number 3, and "The Final Countdown" was number 8. The two other singles, "Rock the Night" and "Cherokee" were number 30 and number 72 respectively. - Aphasia83 21:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Le baron boys]] 

message: The article currently states that The Final Countdown sold about seven million copies. The actual page for the album states that it was certified 3x platinum, which would put it at 3 million copies. I'm going to change the figure to 3 million unless sources can be found.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt Gerber (talk • contribs) 07:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: europe's most famous song - the final countdown emphasizes mainly on keyboards and therefore should be considered as a symphonic metal song. the sound of this particular song has resemblence to American Cyborg Steel Warrior's theme song which is also symphonic metal i.e focusing mainly on key boards  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen (talk • contribs) 13:58, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For a start, you are talking only about one song, and this is not enough. Secondly, the presence of keyboards in a song does not mean it is symphonic metal at all. Lots of Scandinavian bands (a good example is Treat) make a heavy use of keyboards in their songs though having little or nothing to do with symphonic metal. Moreover, you are talking about your opinions and your musical tastes, without providing any reliable sources. I hope these reasons are enough to explain why Europe are not symphonic metal. FateForger (talk) 17:11, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

text: I think I have been clear. The song itself is not symphonic metal at all, and the fact keyboards play an important role in it is not relevant. Finally, you must provide a reliable source for what you say. FateForger (talk) 18:45, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

text: There is no need for such thing, and I am not saying you are ignorant. I am sure you are not, but this is not the point. Personal opinions do not matter here. FateForger (talk) 14:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Europe's White Metal songs

message: "After ten years of living, recording, and touring together, Europe decided to take a break at the end of the 1992 tour" —that gracefully glosses over the fact that they had failed to get their record contract with Epic/Sony renewed, or get another major label to sign them, for that matter. They never managed to return to their earlier level of success, and "hair" bands were laughed at anyway in the wake of grunge. I don't have a source at hand, but this was widely reported at the time. Overall the style of the article is a bit too fanboy-ish.-- Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Circumstances of early 90s split  

message: This is a constant problem in the pages of Wikipedia that addresses bands of rock and metal. Most changes occur in pages bands of hard rock and heavy metal. Both genders are very similar and can confuse the listener. Any such change must collect support from trusted sources. Thanks!--Fran1996 (talk) 09:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
