Singer Joey Tempest from the band Europe picks his Rock God

Europe frontman Joey Tempest picks his Rock God and it's 'L' in the A-Z of Rock

Joey Tempest is frontman with Swedish band Europe and he's picking his Rock God on the Radio 2 Rock Show.. 

Europe hit the big time in the '80s with their rock anthem, 'The Final Countdown'. 

Since then, they've released eight more albums and are about to tour the UK later this month in support of their current record, 'Walk the Earth'.
 
Joey is a huge music fan, having toured with the likes of Whitesnake, Robert Plant, Deep Purple and many more. So who will he pick for his ultimate Rock God? It's not who you might think. Joey goes for a cool, charismatic bass player who personified the rock n roll lifestyle. Listen to find out who!

Also in this show, it's 'L' in the A-Z of Rock. Could it be southern rockers, Lynyrd Skynyrd? 90's grunge girls, L7? Nu-metallers Linkin Park? There's only one way to know for sure...

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
