Tony Reno (born '''Tony Niemistö''' on February 10 , 1963 in Danderyd , Sweden ) is the former Drummer in the Swedish Hard Rock band Europe . He played on their first two albums and got fired in the middle of the '' Wings Of Tomorrow '' tour in 1984 . The rest of the band had gotten tired of his slacking off from rehearsals and lack of motivation, so in the end they decided to fire him. He was replaced by Ian Haugland .

In 1986 Reno joined sleaze rock band Geisha, who would record the album ''Phantasmorgia'' the following year. When Geisha split up, their vocalist Yenz Cheyenne formed the band =Y=, which Reno joined. They recorded two albums, ''=Y='' in 1991 and ''Rawchild'' in 1993 .

Reno is currently living in Upplands Väsby , Sweden, where he works in a Computer company.
