You just can't beat an 80's hair band. The bigger the hair & the tighter the leathers the more I love it!!
The 80's were the ultimate era for music
Absolutely
Absolutely. I started listen music in mid-80s. I am a fan of electronic music. Nothing can beat the 80s. The 90s are also good. After 2000 many melodic songs but not as eternal.
When it comes to music and clothes, the 80 years are the best there has ever been, no matter where in the world, there was still a chance to change something and people were still the property of themselves.
For such a small non English language country, Sweden has produced an amazing amount of great pop music from the likes of ABBA, Ace of Base, Roxette, The Cardigans, Europe and the amazing song writer and producer Max Martin who has written or co- written 25 Billboard Hot 100 # 1 songs.
Y'all welcome...
Hammerfall
The story behind this song, front singer Joe Thempest told he came up with this song one late night in just one hour by befriending the only person at his high school that had a synth to borrow him.
You forgot the DJ Super Project Swedish House Mafia, the two-time Eurovision winner Loreen and Lykke Li.
The Hep Stars (60's), Neon Rose (70's), Heavy Load, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Electric Boys, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Crashdïet,
Atomic Swing, The Hellacopters, The Hives, Imperial State Electric, Hardcore Superstar & Laleh etc. The list goes on & on & on.😉
Swedes have always LOVED American/British music & have had PLENTY of communal music schools, for a very, very long time!
I love your enthusiasm, it looks like a child discovering his Christmas present. Good job Dereck Keep it up
welcome to the youtube fake reactions
@@minecraftminer59mineboymin38 vas y allonge toi et sors tout ce qu'il y a de mauvais en toi....Je t'écoute j'ai du temps à perdre.
@@minecraftminer59mineboymin38 is it?
Maybe the most representative song from the eighties. Has everything: epicness, great vocalist, catchy synths, guitar solo... Even the video. It was a smash hit. A song for ever.
Representative for the tastless poodle rock 1980s maybe :D But there was a great 1980s too, especially in the beginning, with The Police, Blondie, Phil Collins, SRV, Steely Dan, Weather Report, and so on.
@@herrbonk3635 well, this is not rock, its metall
@@matsv201 Heavy Metal rock was the old term for it. But whatever you call it, it's cheesy kindergarden music in my ears. I'm no hater though, just don't appreciate that kind of music. Europe's singer Joakim(?) became a very nice and cool guy during the 1990s.
@@herrbonk3635 no it never was. Only by People that could not tell the diffrance
@@matsv201 So you mean that "metal" didn't evolve from rock? Black Sabbath and the other "metal" pioneers weren't rooted in heavy rock? What did metal come from then? From pop? Frpm country? From jazz? From folk music? Or was it created from a big bang in a musical vaccum?
Great reaction, though it's hard to imagine that there are people who don't know this song. :-D
Maybe because he’s a young man? *shrugs I am surronding by young people at work and sometimes they don’t know about artists that were very famous in the 70s and 80s. I think it’s normal. I don’t know most of the artists that were popular in the 50s and 60s.
My thoughts exactly ! 🤷🏻♀️😅
@@redpinkdot4297 That's right too! I always forget because he's so open to music!But now it's in my head!🐬
@@redpinkdot4297 Yes, that could be the reason but some songs are usually so well known that people of every age should know them. At least I thought that. ^^
@@Lisa-M I would have thought this too but as I said working with young folks changed my mind about songs that should have been known by everyone! Lol
One of the biggest anthems of the 80’s. Even now it’s used in alot of adverts and sports events etcZ
This song never gets old! It was my dad's favorite song. This was the last song we played at his funeral, they needed two people to be able to play it on the church organ. They'd never had this song requested, and they enjoyed the challenge to play it.
It was magic! It is more than 10 years ago, we don't have a recording of this, but I remember it like it was a few days ago...
Every time I hear this song I know my dad is watching over me. ❤
Considered a classic across Europe. I didn't even think it might have never travelled across the pond.
Big hit in USA too.
Well, l it was and is a 🌎 world wide smash! And one of the most famous songs ever recorded! Now their other stuff is unfortunately so underrated.
Still one of the most epic songs ever made
I never imagined that someone on this earth didn't know this song 😅
He knows this song ... look at 4:58 .. he can sing along with Joey Tempest 😅
Litteraly iconic in France, 🇫🇷
Absolutely awesome !!!
Thank you Dereck...
No other words to describe this song other than EPIC
It reminds me of my teenage days in high school. this song was playing on the radio all the time. Thank God for having belonged to the generation of the 80s....
Bien dit !
This song was number 1 in so many countries in Europe ! Dereck i realize that there are tons and tons of incredible, crazy songs in Europe that you don't know. Better late than never :-) It's really fun to see your face when you're discovering a new (for you) song. I don't know if you know scorpions, the cure Dereck ?
Sweden's greatest export after ABBA and Roxette. Timeless classic!!! This was the opening song on their 1986 tour ... and of course they had to play it once more at the end. No one-hit-wonders. Other great songs of theirs; Dreamer, Superstitious, Open your heart, Carrie, Rock the night.
And, Ace Of Base
Robyn.
btw Derek hasn't reacted to the greatest hits of Roxette yet! some other 80s banana songs for him!
Avicii
Nene and eagle eye cherry, army of lovers, the cardigans, ace of base, avicii, Roxette......
And many very good singers at Eurovision (Loreen, Mans, sana Nielsen, etc...)
Yes Sweden is a country of pop music 😍🇸🇪👍
Yes Sweden has great pop music
80's iconic!
I remember them playing on a barge in Stockholm harbor on new years eve in 1999 with hundreds of thousands of people watching
This is what we call 80s glam rock. The decade where the boys had bigger hair than the girls and also wore more makeup. And yes. This song is EPIC
It was on first place of sales in 29 (!) countries at the same time, including The US and The UK. The album with the same title sold 6+ million copies
5:41 la première fois que j'ai entendu ce solo guitare j'avais 8ans. Il paraît que je sauté partout dans le salon en tournant en rond. J'ai 42 ans aujourd'hui je saute et tourne en rond encore.🤪🤪🤪
Cette chanson est intemporelle
Phénomènal spectaculaire
cette chanson fait partie des "classiques" : indémodable !!!!
A classic New Year's song in Sweden along with ABBA's "Happy New Year"😃
Thank you for another great video reaction!❤
Hi Dereck. Thanks for your react on EUROPE. This rock song The Final Countdown from the Swedish group is CULT, EPIC and ICONIC. It is the basis of 80's songs and it is part of it!
It's taken from their third album as a first single released on February 14, 1986. It's their biggest hit of their career, a global hit !!!
It was ranked almost no.1 everywhere, even in France !!! And this for 8 weeks at the TOP 50. Nobody escaped!
In the USA, it even reached the TOP 10 on the Bilboard Hot 100 and No. 18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
The song refers to the live explosion of the shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986 but also Space Oddity by David Bowie.
Originally the song was to serve as an opening for concerts but the band did not think it would be a mega hit. But it was their Epic Records label that at the time proposed to them and finally they accepted. The band wanted it to be "Rock The Night".
The videoclip contains footage of two concerts recordings in Sweden on May 26 and 27, 1986 as well as sound tests and some landscape footage in Stockholm.
For your NEXT REACT you should to Rock The Night or Carrie ( a ballad), Cherokee (1987), music video shit in Almeria (Spain) in the same eponymous album.
Thanks for your amazing work our American dude. 👍🇫🇷
Temazooooo!!!! Cuántos recuerdos. Tenía 15 años . Qué épocas!!!!❤❤❤
and yes, this song always in the radio during New Years Eve, at least here in Germany ^^
Je n'ai pas honte de le dire, je suis fan aussi de cette chanson !
One of my fav from my childhood. My dad loved this song, I'd ask him to play the vinyl record all the time. Great memories!
Goosebumps everytime !!
oh my god! When i realised that you've never heard that song knowing how good it is i couldn't wait to see your reaction! Has expected; you didn't disappointed me!
Of course you love it!! 😂😂😂 👍
I have listened to this song countless times since I was a kid, it's just amazing, in Italy it was so successful
The story tells front man Joey Tempest borrowed the only synth in high school from a friend and came up white the core notes of this song in just half an hour.
For some reason I only discovered this band in the late 90s, but I was obsessed! This is definitely their most impressive song, epic indeed, but they have many other very nice songs. If you liked this one, you should listen to some more, they're definitely NOT a one hit wonder. My younger brother and I would play "Seven doors hotel" on repeat. Kind of a spooky vibe, very energetic.
Dereck, thank you, very much, for what you do with your Dereck Reacts! It is truly the best among many 'reactions' for plenty of music videos they make on RUclips! I like very much your profound consideration and thoughtful and at the same time emotional reactions! If I use your words, - 'That's how it's done, guys'! 👍 You're the best and it is a pure pleasure to watch you from here (Estonia, Europe)! Keep going! 👍
Love this song and the guitar solo...
Jesus, we had so much fun on the parties in the 90's where it was often played to animate the people to come to the dancefloor, dance and jump around 😊 Our dj team always started with "Jump" from Van Halen... that reminds me the good old times... that song is an amazing one too 👍🏻
I always wanted them to make an end-of-Corona version with the title "The Final Lockdown". So far, no luck. Maybe because the Swedes weren't big on lockdowns during this pandemic. 🤷
That's correct.
No lockdown at all, because there is no support for that in anyone of our 3 fundamental laws/constitutions.
That can only be changed if the Parliament vote yes twice with an election in between.
While everyone else had pandemic mania, nothing have happened in sweden. Its freaking sureal visiting other countries now.
Well.. its not quite true nothing have happened. We have thos markes in shop forcing People standing closer together
The reactions to the videos are like a wonderful and unique journey through time. The Europe were guests in Italy last week (on Rai 1), a little aged but still full of life! It is so strange to see them young again!
I was born in 1976. The final countdown shaped my memories and music taste. The 80's will always remain goldies
this song, fully volumed up during the drive fully speed on the German Autobahn *Memories*
This song has been a huge hit in France. In 1986,i was about 12, learning English with a great teacher who made us work on the lyrics making us listen to it again and again. This has been used for all the big sports events in the stadiums, on TV and on the radio. We have heard this song for years. Finally, this is the only song of this band that has been so successful (in France, i don't know about the other countries).
And you're right, it's really an energetic song. You can't listen to it without moving. I guess it must be fun to sing this in a karaoke, when you're a little bit drunk, but I've never tried. 😂🤣
Love how excited you get haha. Your passionate vibe is infectious.
They performed this song on New Years Eve 1999, because of all the fright what would happen once the clock turned midnight😊
Yes. Too much energy ! I wanted to suggest it for several days but you have been faster. Excellent ! Thank you Dereck.
I cant believe you have never seen this !!!! Such an awesome song!! and video!! I really miss those days!!!
Epic song! I remember when this song came out in France. So many memories! So many good times! Thanks Europe for this fantastic song that rocked a whole generation
Masterpiece 👍
Great 80s anthem, gotta love the guitar solo.
remembered when i was there in the first show they did before they hit the world:) old times omg
Watching someone hear this insanely catchy song for the first time is such a JOY because it was one of the first pop songs I remember from childhood and have always loved it. It never stops being outrageously good.
Nice reaction! The 80's are still rocking!
I was five when this song came out and didn't speak English, each time They played It on the radio my mon called me and I went running to the kitchen to sing along.
My first English words were "It's the final countdown" or "is de fainal caundaun" (spanglish pronunciation)
Yes! I remember this ,we all listen this in Europe like crazy ..🤣👍🥰🙏
I probably reacted the same way when I first heard it as 6 year old in 1986. I wore out the tape and had to make a copy of it and seal the original cassette. Much like it would be a master tape 😄 35 years later, I realize that the groove in the song makes it stand out. It has a swaying rhythm that hair metal usually don't have.
Great band from Sweden, after Abba and Rocette of course. One of my favorite songs of all time. The lead singer Joey Tempest is very underrated. Thanks for that reaction. You should listen to the live version of Hotel California by the Eagles from 1977.
I miss my 80s childhood 😍
Now that was fun to watch, your reaction to that was priceless. It certainly is an epic song, that synth riff takes you straight where you need to be and then POW! That chorus.
These guys are THE GOAT!!
Europe has been my very fisrt favorite Band in the 80`S and my very first concert i still love all their songs
I knew it! Dereck is a rocker! 🤘🏻😃
So nice to see someone reignite the way I reacted to tunes back in the day . I feel blessed to of been 16 in 1984 we had all genres of music so diverse . Synth rock ballad euro pop lol just camp and brilliant
The most beautiful songs in the 80 th to 90 the by voice and you tube and the people were very happy in all the world there was peace and love hope to get back in these time Dereck
europe was the first band i ever was a fan of...and they are stille great
"The Final Countdown" is such an iconic 80s song.
I like it a lot from time to time, but I couldn't listen to the song all day.
Keeps it special imo.
Wow, wow, wow. I didn't even know about this ending. In the studio version it just fades out on the chorus. And I literally can't believe you never heard this song before although you were only 1 year old when it came out. Well, I was 6 so it was massive and of course I heard it when it came out. They say that they are one hit wonder but I beg to differ because what about "Carrie"? And "Cherokee" although it wasn't as massive as "Final Countdown" and "Carrie" it still was a hit as well.
Oh wow....can't believe you're discovering Europe...I had this album when I was 13-14...this song and "Rock The Night" and "Carrie" and oh yeah "Cherokee" are totally smashes!!! I remember Europe ruling the "Dial MTV" countdown every single day....(for those who are oblivious to it, DialMTV was what TRL used to be haha).
FABULOUS SONG EUROPE " Rock the night " and "Carrie" AMAZING TO THANKS DERECK
Also Cherokee, Danger on the Tracks
When this song comes on my playlist in my car it makes me want to drive fast, and I get so pissed if I hit traffic, lol.
So, so good. You just want to stand up, run, punch and kick! Gets your blood pumping like veeeery few other titles. 😎
LOVE THIS!!!!
Hello Dereck ,great!After a long time i hear the song again.Fantastic.It also reminds me of New Year's Eve!I think almost everyone knows this Song!!!!Thank you Dereck for your reaction!💝💝🐬😃🐬🐬
My god. I was so fan et so il love about the singer. I still have the Album vinyl and I still llisten it. 😍😍😍
Thank you.
Love it. And that guitar solo, wow!!
I just love that song. Every rock party or rock event this song is there! Yeahhh
Hoppas you know it got the first to efter one billion listning now.
So happy to be swdish 🥰🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🥰
I love the simple but very powerful bass line at double speed, makes it very energetic.
Europe ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m sure they must have played this for New Year’s Eve 1999, when we were entering the new millennium. At least that’s the association I get.
Yeah. They played it live on Swedish tv at the millennium bell from a llttle stage on the water in the middle of Stockholm😀
Funny thing is new millennium did not start till jan 1 2001 there is no year zero
You're so frickin' funny! "They're going to Venus." You sounded like it's completely normal, like you're gonna hop over to Mars after this taping. Lol
🤣🤣
@@DereckReacts Europe also had a big Power Ballad in the 1980's titled "Carrie" when nearly every 80's Hair Metal Bands started to write and record love and break up ballads.
You should react to another swedish band. Sabaton. They are a power metal band that writes zongs that are about war, heroism and that kind of stuff. I recommend: Carolus Rex, The Lion from the north, 40-1, Uprising, Steel commander, En livstid i krig and many more.
back in the 80's or 90's this song was always used for the walk on, even the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan used it for the walk on announcing all the NBA players.
EPIC indeed!☑️🔥
Epic song. Great live band, ive seen them many times over years. They are still playing together after a long split from 1992-2004. They have relesed many new albums since then.Joeys voice is not as high pitch anymore but he still delivers Great vocals . Well all of the band members are pusching 60yo. And lets not forget the lead guitarr player kee marcello .he took over after John norum left the band in 1987. When they reunited in 2004 the plan was to have 2 guitarr players but they change there mind and John norum was back on lead guitarr. again. Kee marcello is an amazing guitarr player and he did the solo play in the song superstitous and lots of others.
35 years🎂 in the movie Rocky 4.
Since the first release, sports arenas play this song often.
Europe performed this in Dancing with the Stars. This style fits the paso Doble.
Joey Tempest still can sing this! 🤯 His voice has not changed much! 🤯
Suggested next video: Rock the Night.
I love their album after this one, with "Superstitious" 🤩
Very very great song ! 👍🏻😍🔥
This song makes you want to do something with your life, great 🙌 🙌 ❤️
I so love this song
YES! Entrance Song! The Detroit Pistons (Bad Boys Days) used this to introduce the players. And Yes...It was EPIC!
Imagine we listen to this song in Pakistan and are always waiting for TOP TEN and trying to hold the cassette and showing off. Thank you for the reminder to such beautiful memories
Energy bomb! Awesome classic!
indémodable !!!!
I liked the song back then but there was also so much good rock back then...sounds so much better today.
Ah une chanson digne de ce nom!!! Les Français cette semaine n'ont même pas été capables de nous proposer une seule chanson des années 80 vraiment la honte! Il faut que ce soit toujours les patreons à l'international qui s'en chargent comme d'habitude!
Epic! Love this so much!
One of my all tome fave artists and such nice guys too …. Ive met them many times over the years and sat chatting pre gig too and having a laugh. They are still going today and working on the follow up to their 15th album Walk The Earth …. You need to listen to Rock The Night, Carrie & Cherokee from the Final Countdown album and then Superstitious, Open Your Heart, Seven Doors Hotel, Stormwind, Prisoners In Paradise, Got To Have Faith, Flames, Always The Pretenders, Hero, War Of Kings, Walk The Earth, Pictures, Days of Rock n Roll, Rainbow Bridge, Let The Good Times Rock & I’ll Cry For You …… some great hits and deep cuts there for you to listen to …… an amazing live act and to think The Final Countdown turned 30 years old back in 2016 & I was there at the Roundhouse in London for the taping of the official BluRay etc and they sounded just as good as they did when I saw them back in 1986 with my best friend Samm at the Playhouse in Edinburgh ….. we are still best friends and as mad on Europe and other bands we discovered back then ….. she’s even got her son educated in “good music” she caught him in his bedroom behind a closed door rocking out to Bon Jovi Living On A Prayer …….. very proud moment and I had a tear too …… got to listen to more of these guys and you’ll see why we love them so much !!!
Come on now! It is impossible that you haven't ever heard that song before or have you been living under a rock?
This is just a classic!
C'est un bon morceau de Hard Rock dans sa plus pure tradition des années 80 tout simplement! En France, contrairement à ce que pensent beaucoup de gens, nous avons également ce genre de musique et même plus!!!!! TRUST, ADX, VULCAIN,WARNING........... etc!!!!!! ET j'ai oublier notre fierté GOJIRA!!!!!!
This band and this song were amazing because even people, like me, who really didn't liked hard rock (besides a few killer tracks from Scorpions or Bon Jovi), liked this song because there are guitars, yes, but there is also amazing synth sounds, a killer voice (Joey Tempest's), cute guys and it was one hell of a smash hit all around the world.
There will many, many other hits after this one (first "Rock The Night", then the ballad "Carrie" then "Cherokee", "Superstitious" etc). Europe had 2 other albums before this one (the album is also called "The Final Countdown") but it's with this one that they made their worldwide breakthrough thanks to this song alone. And this song is as you said truly "EPIC". You found the right word to describe it.
je savais pas qu'il connaissait pas cette musique, je pensais que c'etait mondialement connu
Pareil, bientôt Africa de Toto alors :)
Head banging in action...
(this is also part of Rocky--4 OST by the way)
