Golden Earring are a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague as the Golden Earrings (the 's' was dropped in 1969). They had international chart success with the songs "Radar Love" in 1973, "Twilight Zone" in 1982, and "When the Lady Smiles" in 1984. In their home country, they had over 40 hits and made over 30 gold and platinum albums. Current members of Golden Earring are Barry Hay (vocals, guitar, flute and saxophone, member since 1968), George Kooymans (vocals and guitar, founder of band), Rinus Gerritsen (bass and keyboard, founding member), and Cesar Zuiderwijk (drums and percussion, member since 1970). Golden Earring have sold millions of albums worldwide, and they are one of the longest existing rock bands in the world that are currently performing in the same line up.
Radar Love is one of the most covered songs of all times (see www.radarlove.net) and has been chosen as best road/car song on numerous occasions.
Jezus wat een ruk versie is dit zeg. Drums veel te snel en die blazers op t eind maken er een grote teringzooi van. Drum loopt dan ook een aantal keer flink uit de maat. Ben een groot fan, maar dit is bagger. Gelukkig hebben ze dit sinds die tijd al heel vaak heel veel beter gedaan ;)

@nielsvdwater De Earring speelde in de states altijd ietwat afwijkende versies van hun songs en vrijwel alles sneller. Persoonlijk vind ik het wel mooi!
