First check out Laszlo's new lesson, "Europe - The Final Countdown", and then post a reply to today's topic. Where were you when you first heard Europe's "The Final Countdown"? If you can't remember, what do you immediately think of when you hear the song? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Not sure how it went down exactly, can’t even recall which pair of shoes I put on this morning I was a fan of their music and I thought “Wings of Tomorrow” was a rock solid album. For those who missed it “Last look at Eden” is a great record. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I do remember, a few years ago, seeing footage of Europe 'playing' it on Top Of The Pops.. The BBC also used the song as background music for the horse racing programme, Grandstand... so when I hear the song I have a mixed memory of Europe on TOTP and of horses jumping over hedges.

I lost my virginity while a friend of mine played it on a keyboard in the next room .we were really young and I think he only knew about three songs at the time and this just happened to be one of them.. The final countdown was very appropriate considering the 10 seconds the event lasted . And I get joked on to this day about it ..anyway thats what it reminds me of.. Utter failure at the age of 15 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
