Interview to Mic Michaeli from Europe.

We sent some questions to our

favorite band Europe a month ago.

Mic sent the answers to us. Here you

can see the complete interview.
1) On an interview, Mic said that in 2003 you met at his
place to consider the option of working together
again. what were the pros and cons you thought
about?
-We talked about three options:
1) put the band together and tour with only the old
material.
2) put the band together, make new albums and tour.
3) not put the band together at all.
Nobody wanted to go for no1 so it was either no2 or
no3. As you know we ended up with making new
albums and tour. The good thing is when you go to
see us live you get the best of both the old and the
new material.
2) Last look at eden is a very special album, we can
find a delicious mixture of styles and feelings there.
how did you choose each song and why?

- We only had 13 tunes and one of them didn’t fit the

album.
 3) This has been an awesome tour. what are some
relevant moments that you would like to share
with us?

- You’re asking the wrong guy, my memory doesn’t

work properly. Sorry. But it’s always great to see a
good crowd rockin’ out wherever we might be, and I
know we can look forward to that in Chile. 
4) You are thinking of recording a new album
after the LLAE tour. Is it thought to be the same
style as llae, as any former album or something
totally different?

- The records just turn out the way they do. We

never know in advance. It’s magic ;)
5) Without considering the time, what is different
about Europe 2010 from Europe 1991?

- We’ve become a little better as musicians. We have

even more fun these days. No record company owns
our albums, we do. We have John Norum on guitar.
We do whatever we feel like doing. We don’t party as
much as we used to…OK then, no lying. We still do ;)
6) Chile inspired Joey Tempest to write “Sweet Love
Child" during their visit in 1990; besides the fact that
Chile is plenty of wonderful and magic landscapes.
Have you considered to record a video in our country?

- We never considered recording a video in Chile but it

would be fantastic to do so.
