Golden Earring - Radar Love | FIRST TIME REACTION | Official Music Video

You should definitely check out "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring.

THIS!!! You said it first. Respect

[@Cindy-6791]

Yes, definitely!

[@raketenrambo4247]

[@DesertHomesteader]

Agreed. I like Radar Love okay, but Twilight Zone is awesome.

[@Toobeegort]

Iconic driving song, you even feel like you are driving when you hear it, and most people who know it can sing it word for word.

[@jazluvr99]

Best driving song EVER (and there have been some great ones over the years). These guys only had like two other hits (Twilight Zone and one other?) and nothing else even comes close. This is one of the 20 greatest rock songs in history.

[@richardkint6531]

The band is from The Netherlands. No, Bisscute just the one singer (Barry Hay) with accompanied harmonies. What you listened to was the single edit version. Yes, this came out in 1974 so the look was similar to Led Zepplin. "Twilight Zone" was their other big hit in 1982/3. Good reaction.

[@brianrussell6570]

The guitarist sang quite a bit of lead hence Twilight Zone

[@Original_Pepe_Pupu]

The single edit version has the middle section edited out. In this version, it is intact.

Q65...

[@Cindy-6791]

I came here to say exactly the same 😂

[@WindmillChef]

Golden Earing is a band from The Netherlands. They are from the same era as Led Zeppelin, they had their first Dutch hit in 1967 and have been going strong ever since for more than 50 years with no change in the line-up as far as I know. They are a straight power rock group. They've had many great songs and hits, too many to mention here, that you can cover but to non fans the three biggest songs that were world wide hits (so including The US) are the one that you just listened to, "Back Home" and "Twilight Zone." During this time small country that Holland is they produced a lot of great bands with international success and many were notably from the city The Hague. But Golden Earing has been BY FAR the most commercially successful and most acclaimed band coming out of The Netherlands. Ironically they never had a hit parade number 1 hit in The US, the only Dutch band to ever accomplish that was Shocking Blue with the song "Venus." Shocking Blue was also formed in the city The Hague. Radar Love is by now an iconic classic rock tune.

[@Gantzz321]

fogot to add that 67 was the year before Zepplin was formed an that Golden Earring formed in 61

Radar Love is a Classic and lives on today. Always been my favorite.

[@richiecabral3602]

Right on! I don't know really much of anything about them, except that this song was a pretty big 70s era song, and then they had a song "Twilight Zone" in the 80s that was also a hit, and is used quite a bit in Movies and TV. Good song!

[@johnkochen7264]

Fun fact: When Brenda Lee first heard this song, she almost swerved off the road when she heard her name and song mentioned. No so fun fact: The band only recently stopped playing because the guitarist and second vocalist, George Kooymans, was diagnosed with ALS also known as motor neuron disease . He does not have long to live which is very sad. He was a great musician.

[@andyturner3056]

Glad you like it. It's a classic. I was a child in the early 70s but remember it so well. Very catchy. If I remember rightly it was about 73/74 when it came out

[@oldmansvlog5122]

In 1974 I was a student of Radio/Television Production at Yakima Valley College when Golden Earring staged a concert in the college's sports arena. The students of the college's Radio/TV Production Program were called to help out the band's roadies set up the stage and sound equipment, act as security during the concert and help the roadies pack every thing back up for the trip to the next event. My station as security was at the door to the band's dressing room. I got to see the guys in the band but I did not speak dutch and they were busy making a "Home" Movie?? of their concert tour and I was busy making sure they were not bothered.

[@AncientWisdomUnveiledCDW]

[@edstewart367]

[@vicprovost2561]

A huge hit for them, the studio original is a 70s classic but it is absolutely a beast live, they really stretch out, jam and are so powerful live. Try Radar Love, Vanilla Queen and Twilight Zone live from 1982 at Rock Palast, A totally amazing show that would blow your mind! Yes, A bit of Zeppelin but their own hard rock, prog rock stew, those guys are master musicians who were around for 60+ years before retiring not that long ago. Their live stuff in 2006 at Ahoy is also killer, those old dudes blew the roof off that arena. I saw them in 1975, they did the entire Moontan album and was a utterly great show! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎻🎶

[@joeb4142]

🎉 Bisscute there is absolutely zero problems with your pronunciation or your English in general. OK? Your accent is very attractive. Tight clothes on men is definitely a 70’s thing. The drums and bass really shine in this song. This really is a blues/rock song. Yes, the vocalist was layered.

[@alejandromartinez1766]

It's a great song and a better reaction Miss Bisscute, I love seeing you dance in your chair to the beat and rhythm of the music. Please more reactions to music from the 60's 70's like Shocking Blue. and his songs Venus and never marry a railroadman.

Golden Earring is one of the best exports from Holland since Tulips and Edam Cheese. Singer Barry Hay has been with GE since the late 1960's.

Other great tracks are When The Lady Smiles, Twilight Zone, She Flies On Strange Wings, Back Home, Bombay, Going To The Run.
