Im a 29 year old white American farmer from Idaho, how you guys arent in the rock n roll hall of fame is an injustice, more like then hall of LAME! Cause you guy's fuckin rock, love you all, cheers from America this next beer is for you George
Great post! Golden Earring have been huge in Europe, but our musical tastes in America are mostly a joke! Golden Earring and Thin Lizzy should be in the hall of fame... PERIOD
So, fans... Last weekend came the news that Golden Earring has ended, due to illness of George Kooymans. It's all over now.... Thank you Golden Earring!!
Turn out the lights; the party's over. They say that all good things must end. Call it a night; the party's over, but man, what a great party that was! Thanks Millions, Golden Earring!
These guys were so underrated. Skip past the hits of Radar Love and Twilight Zone that are great but we’ve all heard and there’s a ton of good stuff to discover. Hopefully George enjoys his retirement despite the disease.
I saw Golden Earring at the Roxy Theater in Northampton, PA in 1974. I still remember it in detail today at 66. One of the best bands I have ever seen. Their encore was Radar Love. I was standing by the stage in this small venue and took home a souvenir "drum stick" thrown into the crowd. A wonderful night to remember.
I remember buying this single back in the day. We played it with our band in school. We called our band Golden Sea, because we loved Earring and lived in a town by the sea. Hands down the best Dutch rockband ever.
I’m wondering, are there any other young people like me (I’m 18) that listen to these guys?? Golden Earring are a great and super underrated band. My favorite album is “Together” and to be honest, I couldn’t tell you what my favorite song is by them.
This song will always remind me of my dear friend, Denise DeJulio. It is still hard for me to comprehend that she passed away three years ago and taken from those of us who loved her much too soon and I just know she is still flying on strange wings on the other side. She is the one who turned me on to Golden Earring in 1974 and I will be forever grateful to her for so many things. She loved Gold Earring more than anyone I ever knew and we all loved her.
These guys had a couple of smash hits, and they WERE great hits, but otherwise they have been pretty much overlooked in the US. This song is a perfect argument that a song doesn't have to be a "smash hit" to be truly great! In spite of their huge hits, this is my favorite Golden Earring cut!
Still going strong in The Netherlands, they toured the USA before Led Zeppelin, they opened for them, after the gig the Drummer and Bassplayer opened the speakers of Led Zeppelin, measured everything and closed them up again, and when they came back to the Netherlands thye had the speakers made like Led Zeppelin had.. they had KISS and Aerosmith opening for them in the 70's . The Beatles - Michelle kept them off from having their first no1 song back in the day, they exist longer then the Rolling Stones.
Great band I lived in Holland for many years. My scout leader was their car mechanic. At 15 I hung out with them, when they got their cars serviced Got to go to the concerts for free Amazing songs amazing band!! Really nice normal group of guys Their songs will last forever!! Thanks GE for sharing your talent with us all.
You always hear "what a great group of guys, really nice" why don't you hear "these guys were crazy, they would shove their fist up their butts all day long"
I agree very much! I loved this song since my aunt introduced it to me. She suffered of a grave injury called "multiple sclerose" then and died of that some years later. But this song connects me to her and gives me the power to understand and to fly wherever I want.
Gypsy 1per center flew on strange wings until soul died in my arms. Musical emotions felt if you've been unable to forget a soul flowing through your body like a breeze as the reaper takes Suzy to another dimension, where I've been before, walked from the tomb
Barry Hay is the coolest Rock frontman ever...and his coolness never faded. He changed with the times...and no one played guitar or made it sound like George. 😎
Het wordt tijd dat deze geweldige Haagse Band opnieuw de aandacht krijgt die ze verdienen. Zeker nu ze niet meer kunnen optreden. We kunnen samen met de band alles terugzien. Ze zijn ook belangrijk voor de jongere generaties.
@@nancydriessen9183 Het Haags Historisch Museum heeft een aantal jaren geleden al een tentoonstelling aan de Golden Earring gewijd en natuurlijk heeft RockArt in Hoek van Holland van alles over dit mooie stukje popgeschiedenis. Als nu iemand nog een keer een goeie documentaire zou maken...
It's hard to believe how young they are. kind of like watching Pink Floyd at Pompeii. Also agree about Golden Earring being overlooked in the states. But they are in some pretty damn good company. The music industry really deprived us of some great music over the years. Thank god for the internet.
Wat een weergaloos nummer is dit. Weeeeeergaloooooos!!!! Altijd gevonden en heel bijzonder dat ik na bijna 50 jaar nog altijd diepverliefd ben op DIT nummer!
Today, I heard the best song of Golden Earring... First time I’ve heard it... and I’m Dutch. A little ashamed I am indeed. Radar love was my all time best... until today that is. Wow. Blown away!
Good God they were talented and gorgeous. How come they aren’t in the Rock Music Hall of Fame? And how come they weren’t really huge in the US and we had to listen to crappy disco and ballad crap forced upon us? Golden Earring were Rock Gods. At least Radar Love and Twilight Zone got some US air play. But obviously not enough!
Yet another genius hard rock/progressive rock band from the late 60's/ early 70's.The list is endles. just so much talent. The best time ever for music
Jeetje Nancy. Als je deze nog nooit gehoord hebt, welke mis je dan nog meer? Je hebt nu toch wel alle nummers van ze opgezocht he? 😂 Voor mij is dit hun beste nummer!
Here is something that a lot of people may not know: The Golden Earring have has the same 4 members throughout there career and are still touring till this day
Not quite so, sir. The group exists since 1961. Before Barry Hay as leadsinger and Cesar Zuiderwijk as drummer, there were others. Barry Hay joined the band in 1967 and Cesar Zuiderwijk became the drummer since 1970. But 48 years in this composition -sometimes added with someone on keyboard or saxophone - it is a great achievement. At times they still do some concerts.
Man, this song get into my head and won't leave sometimes! I love these guys. They had a couple of huge hits but a lot of their other stuff is really cool, too.
This defied everything I thought I knew about early seventies rock. I thought that Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath led the charge but these guys matched them for ability, style and creativity. They were obviously flying under the radar (pardon the pun) because by the time MOONTAN grabbed everyone's attention, songs like this (and others) had become staples in the Netherlands. It makes you wonder who THEIR influences must have been. Still sounds amazing 50 years on. If they had drones then, even the video would have worked.

WOW this should have been a hit and would have given them a great direction to do more like this. love this one, going thrue all there songs, many or not so good tho.
Barry flew me back to Indiana when they played here. My birthday 1974? They're so great. Music industry is complex. They were are! worth so much for lyrics and genuine rock and roll. Possible mentoring to really blossom to there genius. After all
Golden Earring. What can i say? It astounds me that this band never got the world wide acclaim it undoubtedly deserved. They are better than the brilliant Van Halen ever were and they rock harder than Rush ever did. And I say that with no disrespect to either of those bands. Golden Earring.........rock the fuck on boys!
But with all due respect I don't see what's so brilliant about Golden Earring. I prefer the stronger melodies and sound of Van Halen, drums, guitar, backing vocals ... and Hagar one of the most brilliant live vocalists.
Never heard this until today.....really good song! Here's 3 thoughts after the change around 4:00: 1. It first reminded me of Blinded by the Light. 2. I noticed a similarity to The Guess Who and thought, Yeah, he does remind me of Burton Cummings (Big compliment). 3. Super high vocals by guitarist made me think of other bands during this era including Queen and Sweet.
Nice. Never knew it existed, just stumbled in here. This is an old school, plugged-in headphones that you bought at the local stereo store from a salesman named Rick, jam.
Het gaat altijd over Radar Love, ook een goed nummer. Maar dit nummer is gewoon goddelijk. Dat duet van Kooymans en Hay tussen minuut 5 en 6, ik word er helemaal door opgetild. Een van de 3 beste rock immers alleen tijden.

Rock n roll hall of fame is a popculture bullshit from the business by the business, who cares
I have loved Golden Earring since 1984. Theyre criminally underrated😢
Farmers strike back,
@@MichaelFrietsch-g7vand we have Anikan.
Great post! Golden Earring have been huge in Europe, but our musical tastes in America are mostly a joke! Golden Earring and Thin Lizzy should be in the hall of fame... PERIOD
Hi everyone, I'm a guy from Mozambique, I first heard this band in South Africa back in the 90.... The band drove me crazy. Very good golden age music
So, fans... Last weekend came the news that Golden Earring has ended, due to illness of George Kooymans. It's all over now.... Thank you Golden Earring!!
Such sad news, but they were one of my all time favourite bands, and greatly under appreciated :(
😔
That is hard to accept

George Kooymans has a hell of a voice and this is such a great song. Love and prayers for George from America.

My son is 17 and loves them too
rubicon1983 That’s awesome!
Not enough cuz nothing today is even in the same ball park of what music used to be
I think it depends on which country you are living in when you call them super underrated.
@@markschattefor6997 Are they still popular til this day in the Netherlands and surrounding countries?

They still perform: see them in october!

Jij moet een Hagenees zijn :-)
Het beste en helaas meest ondergewaardeerde nummer van earring
George Kooymans had it all. Cool look. Cool style. Cool voice. The very definition of the word he is.
He's absolutely gorgeous!
Have!
He is still here
And probably reading
One of the best songs of The Golden Earring

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 have produced some great rock groups 😎✌🏽☮️🎸
Thank you, we are proud to hear that.

Exactly, Pink Floyd from 3:45!
I hear you loud, good Sir. For another example, look at Beth Hart. One of the greatest singer, not getting any air play. Sad world we live in...:-(
Its weird to think people who were about 20 odd in the 70's looked like they could have been 40! Even some of the 19 year olds 😂
Trying to find a video of them playing candys gone bad, from the moontan album
Golden Earring started in 1961 as the Golden Earrings 😎✌🏽☮️🎸

First time you hear this?? What's your age?
Did you notice that Barry Hay sings “ mulitated wings instead of mutilated?
1971, one of their strongest hits ever! :-) A lot of HAIR in those days...
Always loved Golden Earring. Radar Love was my introduction to them, then I heard the rest of their cataloge. SOLD
Good God they were talented and gorgeous. How come they aren’t in the Rock Music Hall of Fame? And how come they weren’t really huge in the US and we had to listen to crappy disco and ballad crap forced upon us? Golden Earring were Rock Gods. At least Radar Love and Twilight Zone got some US air play. But obviously not enough!
No one really became big in the US if they were not from the UK with the exception of Abba.
Their early stuff was the best, including this amazing song (drummer is unbelievably hot), and they all are unbelievably talented....
Yet another genius hard rock/progressive rock band from the late 60's/ early 70's.The list is endles. just so much talent. The best time ever for music
Amen
YES BUT, the Golden Earring is above all.
Saw them in 74 at the Allen and twice in the Netherlands actually ended up backstage with the group. Great songs
OMG!!! Ik heb deze nog nooit gehoord! Wat zijn ze goed! ❤️🥰🤘 Ik ben trots op deze Haagse band uit ons eigen Nederland!
Jeetje Nancy. Als je deze nog nooit gehoord hebt, welke mis je dan nog meer? Je hebt nu toch wel alle nummers van ze opgezocht he? 😂
Voor mij is dit hun beste nummer!
geweldig blauwe kenteken platen brengt me terug naar de 70er jaren
Ich liebe die Band. So unfassbar gute Musik
Legends. Rock for the ages. And my God, the seventies rocked so hard!
There was, and still is, so much more to this band than "Radar Love". What a fantastic band they have always been.
Here is something that a lot of people may not know:
The Golden Earring have has the same 4 members throughout there career and are still touring till this day
Not quite so, sir. The group exists since 1961. Before Barry Hay as leadsinger and Cesar Zuiderwijk as drummer, there were others.

But 48 years in this composition -sometimes added with someone on keyboard or saxophone - it is a great achievement. At times they still do some concerts.
Jaap Eggermont was the drummer in 1969 (the 8 miles high lp). I'm assuming he was the original drummer
Frans Krassenburg was the singer before Barry
I saw them when I was stationed in Germany... Amazing live act 83' 84'
Tyler Mcay yep yhey are perfect. Reinventing, always a new sound and approach. They had one problem..... they got homesick when too long abroad.
Fantastic song of this best band of The Netherlands - if Golden Earring was a British or American band they would be world famous
You got that right my friend
Wat een prachtig en knap nummer: ook geweldige stemmen van George en Barry! Fantastisch gitaarspel bovendien: dit is een ECHTE KLASSIEKER!
Surprisingly, I know this. I have always looked beyond radio play. It's always the less virile of every great musician. Thank you for the share.
George kooymans is a great guitarist, he really shows that it doesn’t take shredding to have a good solo.
Soulless shredding is truly a plague
Give me music any time
From the album "Seven Tears" (1971). This is excellent. Thanks for this excellent video quality and stereo sound.
Offically obessed... love their music. Vocals are killer. The sound is just so unique.
Wondrous. What a bass-line.
nothing yet ! see Rinus performing in eight Milels Heigh :-)))))))))))))))))
Man, this song get into my head and won't leave sometimes! I love these guys. They had a couple of huge hits but a lot of their other stuff is really cool, too.
Kooymans will take you on a trip down the bassline Rinus lays down for you. That is what has always made this band so tight!
Ben geen Earings fan, maar wat een magisch nummer is dit, ze weten een sfeertje te creëren, het heeft iets spiritueels
Incredible writing & so overlooked in the states.
Great rock music from the good old days...
This song has everything in it. Nice
Шикарная звукозапись ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nog stééds 'n prachtig nummer. Een all time classic!

Holy shit. George Kooymans is il and it will be the end of GE ????? I cannot believe it. In my eyes one of the Greatest Bands all time
Huge group. I've listened to all albums. Waouh. génial. Charimatic musicians. I love this band. Definitely in my top ten.
Dutch Glory. The Hague rocks!
Love the atmosphere of this song and how they play it on some huge building !
This is filmed on the roof of the Hilton hotel in Amsterdam - very well known from the 'sleep-in' of John Lennon and Yoko Ono
@@paulblonk5819Yes, and Herman Brood...
Kop op George, maak er het beste van. Voor altijd in herinnering.
Ja dit heeft hij niet verdiend!
thanks! one of the greatest songs ever created!
Fortuneatly their music stays forever legendary guys
VERY underrated band.
Oh no...they are not...don't know where you live....maybe somewhere in the bush
@@broncycolon7020 They're underrated. Hardly anyone knows who they are, or that they did any other song but, "Radar Love".
sick bassline ⚡️✨
WOW this should have been a hit and would have given them a great direction to do more like this. love this one, going thrue all there songs, many or not so good tho.
Beatifull, smart sounding bass!
A most awesome song!!! This has to be my favorite Golden Earing song!
Une des meilleurs chanson des Golden Earring!!! Super
tou a fait d'accord!
Een van de beste songs van de Earring uit de beatstad Den Haag. Met E&F , Motions etcetera.
Top Haagse band en dan te bedenken dat 't jaren 60/70 zijn wanneer uitgebracht, kan iedereen puntje aan zuigen. Jvd
Barry flew me back to Indiana when they played here. My birthday 1974? They're so great. Music industry is complex. They were are! worth so much for lyrics and genuine rock and roll. Possible mentoring to really blossom to there genius. After all
They run a snackbar together now.
What an underrated track....
I only discover this group !? Fabulous!!
So many excelent songs. Im a big fan , suprised they did not get more exposure around the world.
Yeah.
All round rock Gods! Yeah! Oh to be young again. :D
oh yeah one of the most under rated bands, saw them once in 78 great show
Love the band and especially this song, it takes on a life of its own. Especially with Rinus G. on keys~bass, ❤
Great band seen them live, always had really good songs.
Truly great song. Their best.
One of my favourite Golden Earring tracks
Thanks for sharing this. I always loved Golden Earring.
Una absoluta maravilla de canción y de grupo.
Absolute wereldklasse.
Golden Earring.
What can i say?
It astounds me that this band never got the world wide acclaim it undoubtedly deserved.
They are better than the brilliant Van Halen ever were and they rock harder than Rush ever did.
And I say that with no disrespect to either of those bands.
Golden Earring.........rock the fuck on boys!
+sayntz1 Rush deserves disrespect - they're so overrated.
I have always disrespected Rush.
But with all due respect I don't see what's so brilliant about Golden Earring.
I prefer the stronger melodies and sound of Van Halen, drums, guitar, backing vocals ... and Hagar one of the most brilliant live vocalists.
@Nathan Jacobson They aren't from Belgium but from The Netherlands. Only fries are from Belgium :)
een van de beste nummers van de golden earring.
Best song earring ever made
Never heard this until today.....really good song! Here's 3 thoughts after the change around 4:00: 1. It first reminded me of Blinded by the Light. 2. I noticed a similarity to The Guess Who and thought, Yeah, he does remind me of Burton Cummings (Big compliment). 3. Super high vocals by guitarist made me think of other bands during this era including Queen and Sweet.
Next to Radar Love... this might be the ultimate rocksong by Golden Earring...
R.I.P. Edward James Hardebeck, LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER, your Angel......
One of the BEST BANDS EVER! they all look handsome and really good ! :-D
Nice. Never knew it existed, just stumbled in here. This is an old school, plugged-in headphones that you bought at the local stereo store from a salesman named Rick, jam.
One of their best songs!
This song is right up there with "Radar love"
🗣 Top group with a lot of great albums. One of the *Best* in the Netherlands. The song is great, extra video clip !
Incredible solo! Happy birthday George Kooymans (76)
One of my favourite 70's Bands. Hear more good music in my Playlists
Pretty cool song. That guy had a great voice.
Barry Hay is "that guy."
