@MidnightMasque of course....I just answer to 26 people who votes the comment about the so called perfect voice of joey.... there are many singers who sing their songs in the original tone. In fact, Heart of stone sounds so bory in this politically uncorrect C sharp.... but this is just my own opinion.
It's an awesome song and one of my Europe favorites however he could have made an attempt to look like he was actually singing in this one instead of pulling a lip sync because it's freaking obvious.
@nmalthus Joey is not pulling a lip sync, he is actually singing !!! This is a part of their soundcheck before the 2004 Hammersmith concert in London, I have it on DVD, in the bonus material. It only looks like he is doing a lip sync, because the video isn't synchronized well.
excellent playing and his master guitarist John Norum and joey tempest 's been almost no sound, treble can not say, Where's that old tone ... this song note by note in the dollar had attracted sharp ...
ni black sabbath ni whitesnake ni deep purple ni eddie van halen tienen la calidad de europe ellos son los mejores pero de vez en cuando me gusta escuchar black sabbath o whitesnake o van halen porque no son malos los grupos que considero malos son metallica y iron maiden que son basura a comparacion de europe
Damn..They got Heavy..Great mix too, everything up front w/Just enuff Synth Hold'n it down.Leven's Got a Massive Bottom Going Here Strat or Les Paul..You KNOW It's John Norum Killin that thing! Thanks for this.
Everything is in a lower key, the guitars, the vocals and the bass, to make a more "heavey sound" / a more mature sound. Has nothing to do with Joyes abilities as a singer.
Haha, well, you can't claim that it has NOTHING to do which the original pitch being high....I mean, everyone lowers the pitch, Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and it does sound heavier, but it also makes it easier on the vocalist....But whatever, Tempest still sounds great, and so does the band, and that's what matters!
how people can compare Joey with Blackie L., Steven Tayler or Bon Jovi.... Yoey by time kept or improved his voice and still sings like a rockstar!!!!!!!!
Don't forget this was just rehearsal. At the concert of this day Joey sung very well from the opening. You can see other videos on YouTube about Europe's live of this day at Hammersmith in London.
I think his voices in these days are more heavy, manly and sexy than his twenties.
Joey sjunger så jävla lamt. Han har inte den där gnistan och energin i rösten som han hade på den gamla goa tiden. Det är lite synd, men dem kommer ändå alltid att vara mitt favoritband!
You can't avoid that... Joey Tempest has 45 years old. But with detuned guitars and new arrangements, this song rocks the same way or more than 23 years ago.
this is my favourite song from these guys .i love the solo john norum is a great guitar player on of the best ever.but i like his solo albums more than with europe, more harder guitar riffs.i hope europe release another album in the next time. so that i can see them live on stage again.they should play more songs from the earlier albums on stage live, like from europe or wings of tommorow album( thats my favourite album ever from europe)they should re recording this
Joey's voice is perfect. Everyone in the band is talented and professional musician. plus they're cute and good-looking and friendly to fans....==> Europe's been one of the best bands ever, no matter in the 80's or now or the future!!
europe were underated musically in the 80s coz of their "commercial" rock. the songs were always great but are now appealing now theyve bin heavied up a bit
I think in the 80's Europe used to suck, but there, 2004 I think they became pretty good. Heart Of Stone sounds now much better than years before to me.
I was in high school during the 80's Hair Band era.I feel Europe was totally underated as musicians in the 80's. This Video will attest to their talents!!!
I was a freshman in 87 and TFC came out and people went nuts over it but that was it. I started looking for other stuff of theirs and found Wings of Tomorrow. I think there was too much hype over TFC, that hurt them, even though I love that song. But it got SO big they could never match it again.
Ahh! Yes! Now this, is better than the album version... in my opinion. I just watched this as John Norum solo but this is better... The John's guitar is still in your face but Joey's voice is there and the rest of the band! I LOVE IT!
They have to make this studio version
