I've never been a fan of facebook, I'm just there for to be related to the official websites of the band, but in this "new direction" the band has chosen to bet on that social network, so Joey is leaving messages there, it seems interesting , and I appreciate that he is directed to the fans (no matter where) ... I would have preferred that he had been written some words for us through the official forum (when the forum was alive) , and not in facebook but ...  These are the two comments left there until now. 30/04Rehearsal for the summer festivals in full swing. Looks like we will play 3-4 songs from BAG OF BONES this summer. Its sounding great!
First show in Poland on the 1st of May.
All the best,
Joey.29/03Just left the show with RIVAL SONS and BLACK STONE CHERRY......
Love what Rival Sons are doing...there is quite a bit of Zeppelin in and Aerosmith in there but man! they do it so well. It's so great these bands are coming around to save and preserve classic rock as we know it. Their song 'Pressure and Time' really got something special!!!
And 'Rain Wizard' With BSC is probably my favorite song this side of millennium eve. There is no way I can sit still when that guitar riff kicks in!!!
Tonight. Rock is alive and well....

New and very complete Joey message to fans on Facebook. It's great.  14/03/2013Hello everyone, 
Thought I'd write you a little note about whats going on in the Europe camp at the moment.
We are having little break after the amazing BOB adventures last year. We are, however, working on ideas and new items to celebrate our 30th anniversary, together with you guys. So please keep visiting this site. All shall be revealed soon.
I'm currently spending some time in London with m...y family and at the same time upgrading my studio. I've got some ideas I'm dying to try out for our next album. The rest of the guys are in Stockholm. Norum is preparing for his tour with his little sister Tone. I think its a great idea! As long as I have known them both they have been so involved and passionate about music. I don't believe they have ever performed together like this, so it's really exclusive! Meeting them both when I was around 14 years old, I immediately wanted to start a band with John.
I know Leven has got some great new song ideas lined up. Mic always writes and I hope he's got something as cool as the riff for Firebox for me to sink my teeth into. He is such a musical guy! And will this be the album when Mr Haugland contributes even more as a writer? That would be so cool! Always when we're in pre-production or in the studio he's got the greatest ideas for arrangements and so forth. The guy is like dynamite!
We're all looking forward to getting back on the road in May, when we also will be rehearsing for the mega Sweden Rock Festival!.......Two and a half hour long show with exclusive guests! Songs from all of our albums, with a few we haven't played in ages! This will truly be a special night! On the road this year we'll also be teaming up with our friends in Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Journey and many others. We're also interested in checking out Black Star Riders this summer, they will be on the same bill as us on a couple of festivals.
Download and Hellfest this year! How cool is that?! Mind you, we'd better be "camping" a few days before the gig at Download this year, so we don't miss it : ) Back to Spain as well......we missed you guys on the BOB tour last year!
We'll be touring festivals all of 2013 and the winter will be spent writing music and doing sessions together to find the "vibe" for the next record. We'll be going into the studio again beginning of 2014 to record Europe No: 10. Hey! ......It's a big deal for us! Ten albums. WOW!
Just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for you incredible support over the years. You have really helped us build this band up again. These days we are yet again a force to be reckoned with!
I've always said: You guys keep us in the best job in the world!
A MILLION THANKS!
Joey
PS:
Just remember, It's only Norum, Leven and Haugland who have their own Facebook pages. If you think you are "reaching" me (or Mic) through 'ANY' other Facebook pages, YOU'RE NOT! It's someone impersonating me. This (the Official EUROPE Facebook page) is the ONLY page I communicate through. Same goes for twitter. I am NOT posting or writing anywhere else but here. |

Joey has posted today a picture of him with Jon Bon Jovi, ... wonderful photo! I loved, ...  6/11/2013
Jon and myself backstage at the Milton Keynes Bowl '89. Just before we go onstage in front of 60 thousand people! Skidrow and Vixen also played that day.
The two of us always got along great although the media at the time made us out to be some kind of rivals.
Great gig and memory.
Joey

Very interesting message that Joey left today on Facebook ...  29/05/2014
Just finished up a jamming/writing session with Mic in Stockholm. We've written some great tunes together over the years! Forever Travelling, Devil Sings the Blues, Firebox, Carrie, New Love in Town and Bring it all Home, to mention a few. ...When we hook up for a session I usually play drums and sing and Mic plays the keyboard and we just let it rip loud through the PA and we record it all. We then work out the details of the ideas (songs) later. The whole band will soon be meeting up for jamming/writing sessions and I've already got some great ideas sent to me by Leven and Norum. We're planning on going into the studio to record Europe No. 10 in October.
Keep visiting this page and we'll post more info about recording and touring 2014/ 2015 the next coming months. Thanks for your support, friends.
We couldn't do this without you.

P.S.: cool avatar, Eva! Yeah ent  , I also like this avatar, ... she is one of the celebrities who have seen the band live, ... Alice ready for the concert that "EUROPE" played in "Wonderland" into the last Tour ... he he You know, this message has been special, at least I think so ... Joey not only shares information with us about those creative moments when they are not recording an album, or concerts, or promotion .. I also believe that there is a subliminal response for the request for fans about "more information". Maybe I'm wrong, but in some facebook comments some fans (like me  ) asked more communication with the band, obviously no news every day, but a facebook account of a great band as EUROPE, can't pass two weeks without posting anything or at least this is my opinion, especially when this network is the only path towards your fans. I think Joey's words have also been partly a way to keep this communication channel alive. |

I have to admit that I had thought "where in the h*** are they?" So good they responded!  |

This paragraph is revealing in which Joey answered to his fans ...
" ... Keep visiting this page and we'll post more info about recording and touring 2014/ 2015 the next coming months.
Thanks for your support, friends. We couldn't do this without you... " (Joey)
I think it's the first time there is such a quick response. The reaction of people when Joey personally writes some words in facebook is great, many comments, many good wishes for the band, many feelings that people leave there about how the music of this band is important in their lives, is really nice. And it would be great if the rest of the band write there (I'm not thinking in John Norum he has his own page with more than 73.000 "Likes" and never does there) but some words of Mic who has no official facebook page would be very well received by the fans. Anyway ... it has been refreshing to read Joey's words ! Very grateful to him.

I respect all opinions and feelings, everyone can express what they want provided they don't offend anyone, but while some fans are trying to improve communication with the band on facebook, (only place where they are) is quite frustrating to read that some people leave messages like today, where after a new official post about the upcoming event "MONSTER OF ROCK CRUISE", the first three comments were (from the same person ): JOEY
MARRY ME?
I LOVE YOU  (included the heart LOL ) Well ... OMG  ! Impossible to take us seriously, is impossible. And the worst is that facebook is the only channel of communication with them. It's no wonder that more and participate less. I'm so sorry ...  |

LOL, you know, Eva, that's the kind of stuff you harvest in FB if you have an almost dead site.
But I wanted to say: what a lovely avatar, the cartoo seems like you.
