Members dreamspace Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 so, who would you pick? here's two bands that evolved same. started out as rocking bands! went over to waaaaay more commercial rock 'round 1986- from there they went to a more funky sound in the early 90s and then in the late 90s they started to rock again... KILLER guitarists. and pretty good vocals back in the day. I'd pick Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BerkleeBill Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Even at their poseur-y-est, Europe eclipsed Bon Jovi in both Hair obnoxiousness as well as in the overall "fag factor." Carrie is a way sappier ballad than any BJ tune. The other half being that John Norum could kick Ritchie's ass all the way down the street and back on guitar. That guy had some great chops and a mean Strat-in-Marshall tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members crwnedblasphemy Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Even though I dig 7800 farenheight.....My vote is for Europe. I got that 2 disc Anthology and there were so many good songs I had never heard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danyeo Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'll pick Norum or Marcello anyday over Ritchie but Europe is a blip on the radar screen compared to Bon Jovi, at least here in the USA. Bon Jovi is still selling out arenas and i could probably hire Europe to play my backyard Memorial Day party and nobody would know who they are. Europe never wrote a song that broke through like Wanted, Living on a Prayer, or You Give Love a Bad Name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sah5150 Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 I assume we're talking about a street fight here and not some lame boxing match right? I say Bon Jovi would kick the {censored} out of those pansy Europe guys. Bon Jovi is from New Jersey. Enough said... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members joeytempest_thekingrocker Posted August 6, 2021 Members Share Posted August 6, 2021 Europe of course, because Joey always been so cute, and no one can be so talented on guitar that John Norum... In fact, the whole band is so full of energy and love 🧡✨ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
