This next post in our Roots Of Heavy Metal Series comes from Dutch Hard Rockers Golden Earring. This power house band that's criminally under rated and under represented on American Radio. That being the case in the US Golden Earring is known more for "Radar Love" & "Twilight Zone" than there name. Now the song "Radar Love" in America is considered to be one of the Greatest Rock songs to drive to. It's also in the top 10 songs that make you get a speeding ticket. Now the other thing about "Radar Love", with that riff Golden Earring spawned thousands of Hard Rock/Hair Metal bands. Hair Metal band White Lion even hit the charts with their (rather lame) cover of "Radar Love". This posting is dedicated to George Kooymans. On February 5, 2021 Golden Earring announced they were putting the band to bed. The reason is that George Kooymans has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and can no longer tour.

    1. I actually have never seen Golden Earring live. They're one of those wish I hads for me. The boots I have are the closest I'll get to now. Shame about George ALS is a terrible disease.
