Hi John, my name is Donna, I am a huge fan of you and wanted to say what an amazing, talented, Handsome guy you are. I love Guitars ever since the age of 15, the sound of them sends the hairs up on the back of my neck. I would love to learn guitar but think it’s too late as I’m nearly 42 years old. I would love to meet you and hope you could visit Coventry in the uk 🇬🇧. You have an amazing singing voice and look forward to more of your singles and albums. All the best, sending love from Donna in the uk 🇬🇧
Hello John!
Nice to see that you still is rocking and rolling.
I have been following you and the band Europe since the mid 80’s. I also play guitar and your technique and feeling is great. After beeing to a Europe concert I feel blown away by your guitar playing.
Talking about concerts I have a ticket to your show with Whitesnake at Hovet in Stockholm in June. Is this a Walk the Earth Tour show or do you have any new material / songs in the performance?
I am really looking forward to see you back on the stage again.
Take care John and keep on rocking!!!
Best regards Roger
Hi John, I've loved most of the music you've created, but there just isn't enough ! I've always preferred your solo stuff, as it has a rockier edge and longer guitar solos. Come on John do something more for you fans, it's such a long time since your last release. How about a tribute to your old idol Gary, that would be terrific ! You're one of my favourite guitarists.

Happy birthday, Mr. JOHN NORUM!!! You are my guitar hero forever! I wish you good health and great creative achievements!
Hi John, you've been one of my favourite guitarists for quite some time and I prefer your solo style to Europe, it's been too long since the last album John, why is that ? The influences you have were my favourite times for rock music and you kept that alive, come on John we need some more ! I've really enjoyed the live stuff with Europe, but I would prefer to hear and see you live, ant chance of a DvD in the near future ? I noticed that some of your albums were poorly reviewed on Amazon, but the albums in question were my favourites, for example 'Worlds Away' . Hey John, come on, we all die too soon, let's have some more good old rock music from those 70s influences. A TRUE FAN. Nigel in England
Dear John,
I hope that you, your family, and all the members of Europe and their respective families are in good health and are keeping safe, amid this COVID-19 pandemic.
I first heard your amazing guitar playing at the age of 12, in late January 1987, on Much Music TV, a Canadian music videoclip channel, on a program called the Pepsi Power Hour.
I remember seeing DEEP PURPLE's 'Bad Attitude' videoclip, followed by EUROPE's 'The Final Countdown' clip, and my jaw dropped when I heard Mr. NORUM's amazing and beautiful guitar solo (still my all-time favourite guitar solo) on TFC. I knew right away that EUROPE was one of my favourite rock groups ever.
EUROPE's level of musicianship and its heavy 'Euro-Metal', melodic sound, distinguished it from a pack of generic rock groups. I asked my mom if she could buy me a copy of 'The Final Countdown' on audio-cassette, and the next time we went to the shopping mall record store, my wish came through, and I finally could listen constantly to EUROPE's music and to your amazing and well-thought melodic guitar solos and guitar fills.
As EUROPE only ever played (1) Canadian date on Sunday, in Toronto, Ontario, in 2005. I couldn't attend because the concert took place on Mother's Day (in Canada) and almost 900 km separate Quebec City and Toronto, i.e., a 9-hour drive.
After 27 years of having discovered EUROPE and Mr. NORUM's amazing musicianship, my dream finally came through. I never had the chance to see EUROPE or you live in concert, until the spring of 2015 on the 'War of Kings Tour', in Niagara Falls, New York. I hope that one day EUROPE could play Quebec City, QC and Montreal, QC, Canada. EUROPE has a lot of Canadian fans and Quebec City is a heavy rock city.
Ramstein's only North American concert was held in Quebec City, QC, before a crowd of 110,000 in the Plaines of Abraham, an outdoor venue. Metallica and Scorpions have also played before 90,000 fans.
In closing, I just want to thank you, Mr. NORUM, for your beautiful music and guitar solos. You inspired me to learn how to play guitar. Your guitar solo on 'Heart of Stone' is impeccable and so melodic.
Wishing you a peaceful Christmas, and a happy and a healthy new year.
Sincerely,
Frank
P.S. Loyal EUROPE and John NORUM fan since January 1987.
Dear John,
I was only 7 when i was listening to your amazing guitar solos in every song from "the final countdown" album for the first time!
it was impossible to stop! the most perfect solos before i even know what a Guitar was...it was the year 1986 - an amazing times when EUROPE the band became no 1 band in Israel...surreal..
Today i'm 41, a guitar player, songwriter still so inspired by you! still listening to the old and new EUROPE and i was super lucky to see you live twice in London!
Thank you and thank EUROPE for still bringing some quality riffs and music into this world, if it wasen't for you, i don't know what i would listen to.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you John, for letting me see you, the way you are. Through your fabulous career, different channels yiu have taken and your Personal Life
I Respect you, John Norum. Peace. ❤️?
Hej John, fantastiskt gitarrspel, tack för musiken. Hoppas att se dig snart i Tyskland. Ha det gott, Jens
I think that I do speak for a lot of people and we still wonder when is the new Blues album coming out: is there a release-date? From what I heard is going to be out in october 2019.
I´ve also been reading Rock n Roll magazine.
Where can we buy it first?
In the video for "Carrie", a yellow Larrivee guitar was used. Did that guitar have a Kahler trem?
I have been listening to you since the 80's. The first time I heard a recording of you, it was obvious that you were inspired by Gary Moore. I love Gary Moore as well and the rock world is not the same with him gone. You are a wonderful musician! I would rather tell you that I am a fan of yours and will continue to be one over a beer.

Hi John, thanks for all the years of excellent music, i think i speak for everyone when i ask for a book of tab's with your compositions and practice exercises.
Greetings from Argentina.
Hi John, how's it going? I have just one question for you, can you give me some tips to compose a good guitar solo? I'm on a new musical project and I'm writing my songs, but I can't do a good solo, I hope you can help me. You are my idol, all I know about guitars I've learned watching you.
You are a genius! no words are needed to define your playing. A legend in the guitar's world.
Thx for all the years!!!
You are always amazing!!!
