Killing songs: Next question please...
John Norum is Europe's former guitar player. If I'm not mistaken
he left the band after the Final Countdown (what a mistake !!!).
He plays old time Rock'N'Roll with some attitude and although he's a good guitar
player, his songs tends to annoy me. I can find a good melody here and there,
a good soli, but most of the time I'm just bored to hell with heard a thousand
times Rock'N'Roll tunes. I don't know if it's the vocals or the "bluesy"
feeling attached to the song, but something is driving me away from these songs.
This is no new album, it's a reprint of a 1996 album. I never heard his music
before but I think I didn't miss a thing. Probably only for huge fans of Norum
or die-hard Rock'N'Roll fans, the others should better avoid it as it's very
specific (and if you're anything like me very boring too).
