FYI: I bought the first 2 Europe albums when they came out (whereas you probably bought them after 'Final Countdown' was all over MTV...) and Norum has always been one of my favorite guitar players; I own just about every album he's put out. However, Billy just happens to be an even better guitarist, certainly from a technical standpoint. He is also a lot more versatile than John, but you wouldn't know that because you've neither heard Watchtower's 'Energetic Disassembly' nor Billy's solo stuff nor any of the albums Billy's guested on such as Will (Sexton) & The Kill. The fact that Norum is better known than White has absolutely no bearing on anything. Is CC DeVille a better guitarist than Mike Slamer just because Poison was a bigger band than either City Boy, Streets or Steelhouse Lane were/will ever be? Me thinks you're talking out of your lower back orifice and lack a lot of facts and you probably didn't see the 'Up From The Ashes' tour either or you'd have a lot more respect for Billy's playing.
