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)
whitesnake dont sound like glam metal, but glam rock Val hallen ( talk) 15:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Hell, upon more listening, this band could be called power metal or traditional metal! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfinator-x ( talk • contribs) 04:12, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
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)
Absolutely ridiculous, it sounds nothing like power metal. Can anyone cite it? Psychomelodic (people think User:Psychomelodic/me ) 11:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Europe's Power-Metal songs - 1)Break Free 2)On Broken Wings(power/speed metal) 3)Ready or Not (power/speed metal)
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)
why do you care so much about Europe's album sales, it is not a big issue and nobody cares —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen ( talk • contribs) 15:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Heavy metal needs to be removed from the info box. Europe isn't really a heavy metal band, glam metal can probably stay, but heavy metal should be removed. 68.102.235.239 ( talk) 15:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Europe initially were a heavy metal band and have proven it in their first two albums namely Europe's self titled album and Wings Of Tomorrow in which the songs of these two particular albums show similarities to bands like Helloween,Iron Maiden,Motorhead,even Megadeth Val hallen ( talk) 17:25, 4 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen ( talk • contribs) 14:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Europe's heavy metal songs - 1)In The Future To Come 2)Scream Of Anger 3)Seven Doors Hotel(melodic-Thrash-metal) 4)Wings Of Tomorrow 5)The King Will Return 6)Children Of This Time 7)Lyin' Eyes Val hallen ( talk) 13:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Add sources when editing this page okay. -- Be Black Hole Sun ( talk) 15:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm gonna change "metal band" to "rock band". I just think it fits Europe better. - Aphasia83 ( talk) 09:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Should this be added that the new album is being released in Sweden on the 9th of September and worldwide on the 14th? Norum ( talk) 08:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Norum ( talk) 15:27, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
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)
at least you can mention in the genre of "the final countdown" (song) article that it is symphonic metal also, forget the band what about the song? Val hallen ( talk) 17:19, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
why dont you give an example of a symphonic metal song,may be i am ignorant Val hallen ( talk) 13:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
it was mentioned in VH1's documentary, HEAVY:The True Story Of Metal that 'The Final Countdown' is symphonic metal, regarding the fact whether keyboards should be included in metal music. Val hallen ( talk) 14:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
what kind of sources do we need ,is it YouTube? Val hallen ( talk) 17:29, 4 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen ( talk • contribs) 17:28, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
please listen to Europe's song called Ninja from the 3rd album "The Final Countdown" and play the guitar solo of this song Val hallen ( talk) 17:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen ( talk • contribs) 17:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
this is only one particular song, why are you taking this matter so seriously,are you a musician?.ok i will try to find reliable sources Val hallen ( talk) 13:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
1)Carrie 2)Love Chaser 3)Cherokee 4)Time Has Come 5)Danger On The Track 6)Dreamer 7)Sweet Love Child
if you are a true Europe fan and have heard songs which you think belong to the Blues Metal genre
OK and you must be Europe's official representative for wikipedia? whose name happens to be fates-forge Val hallen ( talk) 13:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
1)Rock The Night 2)Heart Of Stone 3)On The Loose (glam/speed metal) 4)Mr Government Man 5)Let The Good Times Rock 6)Yesterday's News
It is not. Provide sources. it is Power Metal FateForger ( talk) 18:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
it is you havent heard the song properly, the drumming style of this song by Tony Reno shows similarities to drumming style of Megadeth, which is a thrash metal band.and will provide sources definitely. Val hallen ( talk) 13:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
i am assuming that you are a musician may be i shouldnt mess with you. Val hallen ( talk) 13:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
you are taking this silly matter seriously why? what do you mean by being a musician is not relevant? . I think it would be only right if musicians edit articles regarding musicians Val hallen ( talk) 14:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val hallen ( talk • contribs) 14:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
this is probably one particular song by europe which is MELODIC thrash metal , and not the band Val hallen ( talk) 14:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
1)Superstitious 2)More Than Meets The Eye 3)Sign Of Times Val hallen ( talk) 18:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
you are taking this silly matter seriously why? Val hallen ( talk) 13:34, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
"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)
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)

The song entitled "Six, two, eight" was performed by a band also named Europe but this is not the same band as mentioned in this article.
