Hi everybody!

Hello Francesca !

Welcome on the forum ! I'm happy that you did like the interview. It was a great pleasure for me to do it and Joey was very nice and cool.

It's nice to share this with fans from all over the world, Europe music is our common passion, our home.

Yes we are damn waiting the new album. Now after the interview I'm dreaming about powerful solos and great keyboards themes

You are welcome to post there about what you prefer in Europe music, etc. I'll be very happy to discuss with you in english (hey people of the forum wake up and practice your english too ! )

See you soon !

Hi frencesca and welcome on this forum ! They are some english speakers there so don't hesitate to post a lot !

hi, honey!!!
very glad to see you here,
lot of kisses from the 'contagious girl'

Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry that my French is so poor, that I can hardly understand anything. But my English is quite good. In fact my native language is Russian. I have been loving Europe since the 10th form! About 10 years passed, but I can't stop loving it. I was so happy when I knew they were together again. I became happier when I heard that they would come to Moscow. I was at their concert with a friend of mine. It was Marvellous!!!

Zdravstvuj Julia!
You can speak Russian with me, but I doubt others would appreciate
Well, there's not that much english topics here, but, do not hesitate to ask us to translate if some topic sounds really interesting for you!
Hope we'll see you around quite often, and I do hope they would come to Moscow, once! It's quite close to sweden

I know they have been in Moscow two or three times. I have a video, when they sing the final countdown on some russian TV show. It was in 1987. But unfortunately I could go only to the "Start from the dark" show. But I have got such great emotion about it! We were sitting in the forth row, close to the band. the boys were so full of life and energy! I can't believe that they were about forty years old:)

You were sitting? poor you lol!
I quite agree with you, this guys rocks on live!! If you'll go to new section (or their official site), you'll see, that they're preparing a new album. Hopefully it would be with a better instrumental arrangement/sound/solos as SFTD was and hopefully, they'll do some more gigs next to the places we all live
Anyhow, it's really great to meet the fans from all over the world in this place!!!! Really welcome!

They gave their show in Kremlin. A strange place for the rock show. usually people watch ballets there. that's why the rules of behavior there are very strict. People mustn't leave their seats during the concert. othewise they would be asked to go away. But Joey was so energetic, that when the first sounds of the final countdown appeared, everyone was standing and singing and dancing.... the security could do nothing.
I'm sorry that in our country though the final countdown sounds from every mobile phone, people hardly can recall the name of the band. and many people say, that Europe is a group of one song. I disagree. they have many wonderful songs. Dreamer for example. This song always brings me some romantic mood. And the acapella version is genius

hi, julia,

Welcome there Julia ! It's a pleasure to meet a Europe fan from russia !

I like a lot the story about Europe making everybody stand up and sing and dance despite the rules !! That's the power of rock and the power of Europe !

About the fact that people in your country think about Europe as a 1 song band, I can tell you that it's exactly the same mistake there in France ! But that's also the fault of Europe's management who hasn't invest enough money into promotion, we all hope that with the new album coming, the promotion will be there and it will be an even stronger come back of the band at the end of this year !

About Dreamer : it's one of my favorite songs, the melody has some genius inside, and the piano in this song is very emotioneous (lol hope it's english ) and of course the guitar which looks like a violin in the solo.

Julia, this place is yours, you can start any topic in english and you will see that members will be happy to follow in english too !

Keep on walkin' that road, and I'll follow
