  • NORUM!!! lmL

  • I m choose NORUM but technically KEE MARCELLO is better than NOURUM

  • NORUM! \m/

  • NORUM! \m/

  • Kee is guitar god for me!:) ^^

  • Norum

  • Yes I admit I'm a big kee fan, but seriously if you can't see that kee is technically better than norum - you should visit a doctor...

  • Kee is technically better, melodically better, and his solos are composed better...much more structure to them and you can hear every note...When Norum goes fast it gets a little jumbled. No knock on Norum, he was the second best lead that Europe had.

  • John norum

  • I prefer Norum, but on a technical level Kee is better.

  • Kee is the best way better than norum.Every solo is a song in the song something I still remember from their records.

  • For me it's Kee

  • Os dois sao monstros da guitarra mais o Norum sempre sera o Norum da formaçao original eu curto mais ele :)

  • Kee is by far the best of them, brilliant solos!

  • norum, norum norum!!!!!!!

  • Hard to chosse !! I love norum's live sound but I love Marcello's style !!

  • Of course ... KEE all the way! Compared to anyone.

  • Norum, Norum!!!

  • Norum'a solo in In The Future to Come! Is divine! 1:45 !

  • I like them both, both have great solos hard to choose! Admittedly both are great and have a talent!

  • John Norum fucked up Europe. If he could just settle with the glamrock they wouldn't be playing that sleazy shit they play now.

  • Europe - Rock the Night ( MAD Solo by Norum)

  • Norum I say !!

  • I think kee has some more melodic and he's great but john is the one who fits better in the band

  • They are both great...BUT!!!

    If ill come to heaven and gonna decide what guitar player i like best.

    24/7

    7 days in 355(356) years

    i would say John Nourum

    But its only a bit a tiny FUCKING BIT!!!!

    EUROPE ROCKS!!!!

  • JOOHNNNN!!!!!!!!!! NOOOORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • you didn't chose wome fast solo's to kee , anyone who see this video will say norum is better , fast ... but kee is better and i prefere him his more melodic

  • norum is my dick! KEE MARCELLO for sure is better than norum!

  • NORUM IS way better, but guys come on stop this children shid ahh my lollipop is bigger than your's.i like Norum's guitar playing more than Marcello's both are great Guitar player's and that's it.End of the Story just enjoy the music.

  • The vid when Kee Marcello plays Hammer's Heart followed by Flight of The Bumble Bee is one of the best guitar performances I have ever seen. As a guitarist as myself i'd say Kee is my favorite, But I wouldn't say he is better than John Norum as you shouldn't FUCKING compare guitarists We all got different styles.

  • norum forever!

  • Both are awesome but Norum is the best

  • I like both of them!

  • John Norum fue el primero y el original yo creo que ningún músico puede remplazar a los originales de una banda la banda es tan buena como lo es su primer guitarrista vocalista bajista baterista pianista nadie mas puede remplazar a a los originales

  • Kee

  • How can anyone listen to both of these guitarists and think that Norum is actually better? Just listen to Norum attempt to play Kee's solos. He can't. Norum has definitely gotten better overtime but he's not on Kee's level.

  • @McRipper80 Well, with all due respect, I disagree. There's more in guitar playing than being clean and fast, which Kee Marcello is. There's the ability to compose things that stay in your head forever, there's the feeling and the rock & roll while you play.

    That said, I don't really hear much "feeling" on Kee Marcello's playing. He's very fast, clean, precise, etc. but I'm not sure I would put him on a pedestal only for that.

    John Norum is quite good and I think I like his style better.

  • @sabapc81

    WORD!

    Norum's got the feeling, his timing is perfect, and his tone, and wah-wah work, and his vibrato, GOD...

    Kee just play scales up and down and thats not interesting, everybody can sit down and learn that! But Norum puts his heart and soul into his playing, he surprises you every time he does a solo, every time its different and thats proffesional if you ask me!

  • How can anyone listen to both of these guitarists and think that Norum is actually better? Just listen to Norum attempt to play Kee's solos. He can't.

  • Kee Marcello is just the best and everybody know it !

    Kee forever !

  • John!

  • John Norum he's the reason my 4 year old daughter wants to learn guitar. After watching Final Countdown with Norum she looked at me and said buy me a guitar so I can do that. That was a year ago and she's still talking about guitar.

  • kee for me is the best! he plays very better than john specially live...

  • john ! john ! john!

  • Best solo by Marcello......Tower's calling....

  • This aint even a contest John Norum every day of the week

  • They are both very skilled guitar players (and I have seen JN playing for over 10 times now) but I tend to vote for Kee. His solos fit in the songs (hard rock) more adequately - wheareas JN's solo's suit metal songs better I think - , besides as you are playing in a rock band, you should have contact with the audience and JN does not make any contact at all with the audience wheareas Kee knows very well how to make contact.

  • and you should have posted More Than Meets The Eye. This solo kills everything Norum ever did.

  • Kee Marcello no contest. He's a more precise guitarist than Norum and better trained in technical licks. As for me Kee would win with anyone. Maybe Malmsteen and Reb Beach are in his league. John Norum is just good, yeah he was very good in the 80's now he just sucks.

  • @LSDisease I have to disagree with you here. After hearing the last 3 Europe albums, I think John Norum is an amazing guitar player. And besides that, not everything is about technicality in music. I prefer John's sound for example, love the way he plays and what he comes up with, and I have to say, that he's absolutely amazing.

    So "better" can be a lot of things. I love the way Adam jones plays for example, but he's no player like e.g. John Pettruci, but I prefer to listen to him :D

  • @MarcoCaroAdriaans my criteria is the better is the one who's more technically trained. I may prefer less skilled player but won't call him a better guitarist. In this case I still prefer Marcello. I like Norum especially on Don Dokken's album Up From The Ashes and I think it's the last good thing he did. Three last Europe studio albums suck an enormous amount of arse. I even disliked Prisoners In Paradise as the biggest disappointment when it came out. To me all good Europe is the 80's Europe.

  • Both are very good

  • can somebody tell me the name of the song John Norum is playing in the second rund??

  • the final countdown!

  • John Norum,He is got more feeling in the guitar playing :p

  • Love them both! Both are amazing!

  • Come on.. Jhon-Kee 1-1 :)

  • John norum

  • i love melody so i m gonna say kee

  • NORUM!!

  • you know both guitarists are amazing but kee is the melodic one and john the harsh one but both gave the band what it needed.

  • KEE is the best

  • John has the sound, but i do believe is a bit more technical.......but both tastefull players for sure!

    @microcube212 - how about Kee's solo on "Just the beginning"?!?

  • Why didnt you take the More Than Meets The Eye solo by kee? It's the best solo he has done, my opinion.

  • @thabestpker5 Because I wanted to make this video only with music videos, and there isn't a music video for More Than Meets The Eye.

  • @microcube212 Okay. Well, i think Kee and John is pretty good both of them.

  • @microcube212 Hmmm. That doesn't make much sense, since we're LISTENING to both guitar players and don't need to SEE them. I love both guitar players, but Kee Marcello is a better player. Every solo in "Out of this World" is incredible. Having said that, Norum is a better fit for the band

  • @thabestpker5 Also "Ready or Not" is a very cool solo.

  • Kee, o melhor disparado! Solos muito mais harmônicos e com uma perfeição indiscutível!!!

    Kee incrivelmente o melhor guitarrista qu o Europe já teve...

  • Kee.

  • john norum!

  • For me are both on the same level, Kee Marcello has more melodic feeling, Norum use pentathonic scale more than kee, that make his sound more agressive than kee.

  • Listen to Johns solo in "Devil sings the blues" after you done that theres no doubt who are the winner......

  • Technically are on the same level but for me kee's solo are the best like melody...

  • This duel is unfair! You've missed most of Kee Marcello's best solos! Where's "Ready Or Not", "More Than Meets the Eye", "Tower's Callin'", "Just the Beginning"? As for Norum, check his live '86 version of Ninja, it just mind blowing (it should be in this duel also)! Both are great & I can't tell which one is better as both some unique style. It's just which style you prefer more.

  • seems musicians prefer Kee and fans Norum. (?)

  • @mitchsummer Musician here....prefer Norum to Kee.....as you can see i'm not bad mouthing either one..but i prefer Norum's feel over Kee

  • KEE MARCELLO

  • Both great players. It's not a competition.

  • Hi friends,

    I commented that I am guitarist with music studios, and fans of Europe. Norum is a fundamental part of Europe and has the credit of having made much of the album The Final Countdown. But Kee Marcelo is much better musician and guitarist, Kee has technical aspects that make it a very versatile guitarist and solid, very well dominate the pitch in the bend and a blues-based training. It also has a taste to play on guitar incredible!. It's my favorite guitarist ....

  • Hi

    Sorry for english...but i play guitar...

    Kee e Jonh very good guitar player. Jonh is melody and Kee very techinic.. They can´t comparation. Europe is good, sorry that kee out. I would like to listen two guitar in EUROPE.

    By

  • Very difficult this one....John more heavy guitar sound and Kee maybe more special effects and melodies.....but also great in solos.

    Respect for John......but KEE wins.

  • Norum is better...Period.

  • Marcello is superior but for fuck sake stop this comparing bullshit, they're both awesome musicians & songwriters, lets be thankful we can enjoy their contributions.

  • Comment removed

  • john norum el mejor,lejos por ser un genio creador de las mejores melodias de la banda,un genio!

  • John Norum is a better guitarplayer.

    But I choose Kee Marcello.

    He is very underrated and nobody can't beat the ''Superstitious solo'' in my opinion.

    Because that guitarsolo really fitted the song and was not about showing off his guitarskills (and that is very rare in the 80's with people like EVH and Yngwie Malmsteen).

  • They are both awesome

  • Still... Kees solo in one of the greatest solos of all time

    (Also check out More then meets the eye solo with kee, Awesome)

  • John Norum!!!

  • Kee Marcello best sound...but John Norum is a beast!!! :D Both great!

  • kee marcello always

  • JOHN NORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • John Norum 10 x 10 Kee Marcello ..Draw ! ! ! ! Two Great Guitarists ! ! ! !

  • Another consideration is how each man do rhythm. I love norum's superb rhythm esp old album(parasize bay, ... wings of tomorrow, sream of anger) and kee for outstanding solo (live concert + out of this world).

  • It's John Norum because He is Better and is a Founding Member of Europe. Remember if John Never left Europe Kee Marcello never would have to Replace him. Without John Norum there's no Kee Marcello.

  • Kee Marcello is killing me with every note

    I would pick him

  • hahaha.. man.. are there anyone out there that actually knows what they are talking about? In turns of technique Kee Marcello IS BETTER than Norum, BUT that is just the technique-part.. there is no need to discuss that, because it is obvious to ANYONE that knows something about guitar!!

  • Kee technically superior but Norum is a machine too

  • JOHN NORUM !!!!!

  • i vote for John Norum but Kee is a good guitar player too this comparing thing is childish

  • As a major Europe fan and as a guitarist I say it's obvious that Kee is the winner. He has not only the technical domination, but he has beautiful melodies and that incredible musical fantasy along with emotional guitar playing. Kee is better. end of story ( I still like John Norum wery much)

  • They're both great quiter player,but I like John most~

  • No way guys ! ! ! Kee Marcello is the best, technically superior ! ! !

  • Lol man theres a difference between live playing and studio playing, you need to compare live gigz.

  • Kee Marcello

  • JOHN NORUM WAY BETTER

  • John Norum was the one who invented and recorded all those solos originally. Besides having superb technique he is the greatest melodist, which is very rare for guitarists. Playing fast is only 25% of greatness. He is definitely greater than Kee, can`t even compare. John Norum is one of the greatest of all times ever!

  • Norum the Best!!!!!!!!

  • not the same style!!

  • the selections are geared to make norum look better in a way.

    put ready or not, just the beginning or more than meets the eye from out of this world in here and that would make it much more even.

  • Los dos son buenos distintos ,mi gusto particular por norum

  • Kee kills norum!

  • Kee by a country mile. But John Norum is awesome as well. And both are way way better than I will EVER be.... :o(

  • If all the world's guitarist John Norum to their kick ass sets. puahahahahahah...kee fans you moron :P :P the best john norum okkeyyyyyyy...

    )====D - - -

  • Norum Is The Best

  • kee is better

  • also kee 's solos disgusting, John Norum solo very emotional and meaningful and john playing guitar break noorum worldwide channel has been selected ... so everyone may know: P kee fans you moron and John Norum in this group, but not with this group tony reno is a nullity. .. so that everyone may know...hahahahahah you stupid kee fans :P

  • !!!!!KEE!!!, Is The Law. Exelentt Solos... The Fuckin Master..

  • norum is far better!

  • Norum. I like his less processed tone. There is a great live video of John playing an extended intro to Aphasia over some nice warm key pads. It is a good display of his skills. He is much more than just a "pentatonic noodler". I can't believe someone said that.

  • Norum ftw, Kee doesnt have the feeling and he does never improvise wich makes him booring, plus Norums got the right touch and hes timing is sooo fucking perfect! i will allways love Norums playing.

  • To me Norum is kind of just a pentatonic noodler. Kee's solos are much better thought out, plus technically he's a LOT better.

  • kee!!

  • I wanna see these guys shred together for one last Europe album and tour... I think that will sum up their amazing career with pride! :)

  • All the world's guitarist John Norum will fuck ... it is ... because the lord of all the guitarists started 7 years old ... fast fingers to the guitar and shred ...

  • you silly people, the world's best guitarist John Norum, John Norum marcello 's screw up running technique is disgusting and I think puts siker.annadınızmı beni.kee solo is excellent and very weak but very clear I play John Norum

  • 2004 till present = 14 years in Europe.

    Kee 1987-1992 = 5 years in Europe.

  • I dont give a f, I love em both. But u gotta see the facts, Norum 1978-1986 + 2004

  • both are great players, but I like Kee Marcello better because he has the sick skills for fast playing xD

  • Sorry, but he doesn´t. He´s only got tons of distortion to make it sound like that. If you´ve got so much distortion, you almost don´t have touch the strings to be able to play like that. If you´d put kee marcelo with his guitar in john norums rig, you´d understand what i mean.

  • And it sound fucking gangstah

  • @Hasjhus

    Okay, but if you´d heard him playin´ without tons of distortion you´d hear that he can´play like that without cheating with distortion, so norum is the better!

  • I dont really care about that.. Europe is one of the greatest band I think ;)

  • I'm so agree with you, my friend. And if you want a prove, you only have to hear what kee did with norum solos at the final countdown tour. However, Norum can play kee's solos with more power and more more feeling. I love Norum's way playing girl from lebannon!

  • NORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kee marcello is the very very best

  • Kee is the best !!!

  • Why?

  • He has more feeling !!!

  • He just bends more! Do you play guitar?

  • MR KEE MARCELLO.

    He is the number one!!!

  • kee is Amazing, Norum is the best XD !

  • NORUM!

  • maniacs :-p wtf is up with john john john ? every fucking video of europe theres like JOHN NORUM THE BEST, ... wtf??? it's the guitar player from the band europe and YES he's a fantastic guitar player... but theres more than him ,I'TS EUROPE THE BAND concept ! and most songs are written by joey anyway...

  • kee wins cause he is the best among rock bands guitar players

  • I follow to John Norum, but Kee Marcello is amazing. I prefer John and Kee, jajajajajajaja

    who is the best? Satriani or Steve Vai or Petrucci??? all are master in your own way.

  • JOHN NORUM THE BEST

  • John is unbeatable but kee is great as well.

  • this 2 guitar player were a big influence in my style. i love the 2.

  • Norum For The WIN!!!

  • of course John Norum!!

  • John Norom RULES!!!!!

  • JOHN NORUM IS THE BEST OF COURSE!!!

  • I think anyone can say he/she likes John Norum better, because it depends on tastes, that´s true, but when it comes strictly to better control over the instrument, best tone, more accuracy/cleanliness... Kee is quite superior, and I think Norum has improved A LOT since he left Europe.

  • yes, kee has incredible control and accuracy ! but don't thinhk that norum doesn't ! when left europe, like you said, he improved his skills a lot ! just take a listen to a song called Manic distorsion ! I couldn't believe what I've heard xD

  • Kee Marcello!!!!

  • well john norum is the hard rock..i actually prefer him

  • Norum for life!!!

  • J O H N N O R U M!!! Thats the name!!!

  • Kee sucks. Norum Rocks!!!

  • John Norum Beats Kee EASY!!!

  • thats a joke jhon its cool but................kee its from other planet

  • John Norum FOREVER!!!

  • Don't kill me for this, but i think John Norum is a better guitar player...But that's my opinion!

  • @microcube212

    Well I agree with you! Kee was good for Europe when they did the Out of the World album etc.. And he can do good solos. But John Norum trys all types of gutiar work and it works everytime, so really you can't judge either of them! But I favorite would be John Norum!

  • KEE IS THE BEST OF COURSE!!!!!

  • JOHN NORUM!!!!!!!!!!!
