Joey Tempest (Europe): "'The Final Countdown' is one more song"
"... We love playing this album, 'Walk The Earth'. We will be playing it next year yet. We will play "Pictures", "Turn To Dust", "GTO", which we like a lot since we released them. We will be all 2019 on tour and in 2020 we will launch our next work ... "
"... No, there are no limits. I think we are more open than ever today because we compose together, and it's exciting for me to get ideas from Mic Michaeli, John Levén or John Norum. I take them further because they come from another source, and that makes them more revitalized. This is the reason why the songs sound different, because we give opportunities to those ideas and we do not let them escape today ... "
"...We can only be who we are. Our past is there, but we have advanced ..."
" ... Madrid in 1988 the first time we came, everyone was partying all night because everything was open. It was amazing because we were about 20 years old, we loved going out and we found that Madrid was the capital of everyone's party. The gambling dens were open and also places to have breakfast, swimming pools. I remember that I was with Billy Gibbons from ZZTop and we said: "this is brutal" ..."
"...There have been several falls ... I remember one from several meters to the moat in Denmark and I got my hands dirty. I was on stage and suddenly I disappeared. I was lucky for not hitting my head. I've had big falls seven or eight times in my career, I'm lucky to be fine.
I also broke my pants ... my leather pants, so I had to pull the wardrobe a few times. The leather pants, when adjusted, there is a point where they do not give more than themselves ..."
