GOLDEN EARING RADAR LOVE FIRST REACTION This is FANTASTIC

[@chrisbateman5358]

This was their biggest hit... great driving song. Loved your reaction.

[@theresamiller4333]

Loved driving with this song on ❤

[@ellenbakker-w8x]

Was a Dutch rock band. Founded in 1961 and disbanded due to illness of George Kooymans(singer and guitarist) in 2021. It was the oldest existing rock band in the Netherlands. And also the longest existing band in the world.They had international success with the hits: RADAR LOVE, TWILIGHT ZONE and WHEN THE LADY SMILES, and their albums: Moontan and Cut.

This was Golden Earring's biggest hit ever. And I fell in love with it when I first heard it. I've heard a lot of copies by other bands who have done covers but their's don't even come close to being as great as the original. Thank you so much for reacting to this. ❤️

[@fixzeichner5592]

516 / 5.000 I'm surprised that you, as a Belgian, don't know Golden Earring. They were around until 2021 and broke up shortly before their sixtieth anniversary because guitarist George Kooymans was suffering from ALS. This made them one of the oldest rock bands in the world. They performed frequently in Belgium until recently and filled the halls there. Singer Barry Hay is the son of a British officer and a Dutch Jew. He was born in India and grew up speaking English. That's why he sings without an accent.

[@jonib5881]

Finally!!! More people need to react to this… it was a classic driving song back in the day

[@annemaclean6634]

This is a banger of a song from Golden Earring, this song 'Radar Love' 1973 was a massive hit, and it's fabulous. Golden Earring are a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague as The Tornados. They achieved worldwide fame with their international hit song 'Radar Love' in 1973. Such drive in this song, (no pun intended!) Loved that car, what a beauty - a 1969 Shelby GT 350, and it was great that you recognised the motorway E19 which you said you've been on! Thanks so much for your reaction, Anthony, really enjoyed it.😊❤

[@christophersmith8316]

played a lot in the US in both the 70s and 90s for the mood.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

This is from my youth and I absolutely love this song!! This brings back so many awesome memories!!!

[@aura81295]

Instant recognition and adrenaline rush right from the first three notes of this song! This was a fun one for the dance floor too because it did so many change ups. See if Esh knows this one and also send to BP to react to it - pretty sure he won't know it but would enjoy it. 😁

[@LucidDreamer68]

This is one of my favorite songs to drive too. Look down and I'm waaayyy over the speed limit :)

[@Jude_196]

BANGER!!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@awilliams4957]

Used to listen to this song with head phones and float away thx for the memories❤❤

[@bowtiefidenine]

The drummer jumped over his drum kit at the concert 😮😮

[@salsonny]

They had 2 more hits, Twighlight zone, When the lady smiles, later hits from the 80s

[@mollieking7432]

Twilight Zone was my favorite Golden Earing song - banger!

[@rebeccajutton2108]

Many speeding tickets were handed out while this played on the radio.

[@robblaber6655]

Gotta check out Twilight Zone and Vanilla Queen ❤❤❤❤

[@DavidSmith-wd4mx]

Saw them at the Glasgow Apollo in 1974. I'm sure at the end of Radar Love the Drummer jumped over his drums, got his foot caught on a cymbal and flew of the high stage and disappeared. But, fortunately a few seconds later we saw this dark figure clamber back on stage, none the worse for his acrobatics! Somebody please confirm this, as my memory is beginning to addle with age?

[@annemaclean6634]

I live in Scotland but don't remember this but I found this comment on a website - 'Golden Earring were really late on cos, as they said to the crowd, "We were watching Star Trek!!" After the drum solo on Radar Love, the drummer stood on his stool and did a somersault over his kit, fell off the stage and landed in the crowd. What a cheer. Still, he took it well and headed back up the stage.'😊😊

[@sl8605]

Whenever this song would come on, it would make you automatically step on the gas pedal, for me anyways.

[@dennish3032]

In the 70's the expressway was not old yet and each slab was the same size as the others. The young were paying tickets and the old were getting warnings. All due to the subconscious mind hearing the tires slap the cracks in the pavement and the pace of the music. The human mind hearing the tires and without being aware the mind trys to match the tires to the music. Older folk were clocked at 70 to 90 mph in a 55 mph speed limit. They normally stayed under the speed limit. It took until 3 years later before most people learned this.

[@mstewart109]

I remember this one!! Huge hit for them. I dont know their other songs. They played the heck out out of this on radio

[@lorig-ski]

My brother is a retired police officer, and back in the day he said if he ever pulled anyone for speeding and they had simply said "sorry, officer, Radar Love was on the radio" - he would have let them off without a ticket. Never happened though 😂

[@Jules-um4yy]

This was a full on pedal to the metal song back in the day! Great request and great reaction Anthony. My mother was Dutch, good people❤

[@bowtiefidenine]

This band was my first concert ❤

[@heartwork8318]

Best driving song ever! Hope you have a great New Year AR! 🍾🥂❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@salsonny]

I saw them do this live in 1978 Boston Garden, they were the backup band for Aerosmith. I had front row seats that show

[@wwabbit6653]

When The Lady Smiles is the best video ever. Barry Hay is such a funny guy. He had a radio show and voiced a cartoon character, as well.

[@katjawege6886]

Oh yes this was a banger!!! First this one, then "Juke Box Hero" by Foreiger - no sports needed after dancing these two songs 🎉🎉🎉Great memories ❤By the way, you don't have an accent either 😊Love from Germany

[@glendawright-t4x]

Do not listen to this while driving cause you gonna get a ticket. Your foot gets heavy, this is one of my stay awake songs.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

First time I've heard this song was a 12 or 14 minute live version of this song, incl. a drum solo. Wow! That was epic ... but also like 30+ years ago! XD Thanks for your reaction! And you can't go wrong with this band ... they have a bunch of great songs! The early ones, but also the later ones!

[@auntieprimrose4138]

The guitar solo is after the drum solo, just chopped out for the single edit. From Moontan, one of the best albums ever.

[@terriebartholomew7871]

Love this! I was in my twenties in the seventies…good times. 🎶🤣💨. Now I’m in my seventies in the twenties and still having fun! Check out their song Twilight Zone. It’s 🔥! ☮️💙😎

[@ursgeiser6570]

As a Central European who wants to discover rock, you definitely have to get to know GE. “Back Home” was in our charts at the time of “Whole Lotta Love” and “Black Night OH”. Especially 1969+1970, a crazy time as a teenager when you didn't have enough money for all the good albums that were released. In my opinion, GE Live 1977 is one of the five best live albums of the 70s, including the fantastic songs She Flies On Strange Wings, Mad Love's Comin', Vanilla Queen and theirs own interpretation of the Byrds classic Eight Miles High, all rock songs with prog transitions that makes it GE was something special back then, especially the longer live versions. After the launch of MTV in 1981, GE had another international hit with Twilight Zone in 1982, especially in the USA. GE were live twice in 1982+2007 at the Rockpalast (then the cult show; videos available) and in 1992 on MTV, officially released as Naked Truth 1992 and Naked II 1997. Have fun discovering good music👍✌-

[@mattblatchley2061]

they played it in my town on the radio in the 80s so much that I thought it was an 80s song...not til much later did I find out more about this song and band!!! awesome track!!!

[@ericwagner1824]

Golden Earring was a one hit wonder twice. Once in the 70's with this song and once in the 80's with Twilight Zone. When the Bullet Hits the Bone!

[@thezamman]

This is a shortened version of the song. The actual album version has some guitar solo and buildup before the drum solo. This version was most likely shortened for radio play. Great choice!

[@beckiramsey9561]

I remember this, great song, love it! Brings back memories!!❤❤

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

The Brenda Lee in the lyrics was a pop / country singer. Great reaction man. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

Ahhhhh.... *This* is the song of my teenage years. :D

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

....snort...... Oh, I'm sorry. I'm still laughing at that look you gave us @ 8:02 My parents asked me that same question once. "You wouldn't lie to us about that would you???" They got angry when they heard my answer... "Well, not so's you'd notice...." >.< I got grounded for a couple days for that.

[@erikahlander3489]

I heard "Landing" on the radio about 1969 and captured it on the tapecorder. I liked it a lot. Not until KZbin I got to explore the group more. It still holds! Ekseption, another Dutch group was quite popular here in Sweden. Mixed classic music with rock. You should check the video with "Toccata" from 1973!

[@KelpieDog]

Way back in the day I was always afraid this song would come on the radio while I was driving, my foot developed a mind of it's own and stamped down on the accelerator, scary stuff.

[@kaeriepeterson7502]

I adore the bass breakdown in this song!

[@williamlovett619]

Great song

[@janbarriault4494]

speeding ticket music... imo! hello from canada!

[@RunetteHamilton]

Happy New Year from South Africa🎉 Very COOL song.

[@helenmckeetaylor9409]

Every time I hear it after a loong time in between the same thought comes back... the best F*^kin' song EVER!!!

[@davidbooth7778]

77 in 65 in dad's black Olds Toronado! Ouch! what a song.

[@SliceOLella]

I forgot about this song! Love it

[@jannaromine5908]

I second "Twilight Zone "

[@donnasmith5942]

Wow! Another great song I haven't heard in a long time!

[@christophersmith8316]

one of the great song for the road when getting close to your destination at night

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

Sounds like James Bond’s music at one point.

[@susaniserhoff9361]

Always loved this 🕺🎶

[@cynergy4]

This song always gets cranked way up in the car

[@Feistygirl2024]

Ive gotten a few speeding tickets from this song 😂

[@davidmazzell2332]

Yeah, like Floor Jansen, incredible stage presence and vocalist with Nightwish. 🔥🔥🔥

[@rj-me3fh]

Puts me back in my 67 Belvedere II driving to school!!!

[@Tommy-he7dx]

"Twilight Zone" is another great track of theirs

[@hillbillymark100]

hillbillymark here from ontario canada-dude this is 1973 music and still very kool great driving song and check out STEVE EARL- GUITAR TOW lyric SMOKIN INTO TEXAS WITH THE HAMMER DOWN (gas pedal to the floor).

[@theread59]

The whole Moontan album is killer.

[@maryhuhnke4706]

Gotta do Twilight Zone ❤

[@rickburnout666]

Hello I've just recently subd, after watching you do 2 Chellos who I first heard about 10 year ago, I think you would enjoy taking a look at Luca Stricagnoli play the Prodigy fingerstyle on acoustic guitars with his own percussion while walking between shipping containers, Im a disabled ex guitarist but was nowhere near his standard by miles, I know you will enjoy it, I'm 58 and like most music styles

[@kerringhostdragon7426]

There is an exhalent cover by a Danish-American glam metal band called White Lion, I believe it to be moderately soupier to the original when you get a chance please check it out.

[@mikehigh3120]

Check out the Group "White Lion" they covered this song

[@mattrotton]

Damn... Why did you have to react to this while I was driving ??

[@beckiramsey9561]

😂😂

[@beckiramsey9561]

😂😂

[@LeslieEscobedo-sx7ee]

It's sooo good!

[@Fuphyter]

Always drove way too fast to this. Lol

[@pbell44]

This was a great traveling song. Cruising down the hwy blasting this song was conducive to picking up speed. This and The Who song Going Mobile. Every road trip in the 70’s included these songs

[@christineschutten248]

They fooled me for years😅 I thought they were probably from the southern U.S. I also thought they were an 80's band😂

[@karenglenn6707]

I’m an Aussie who was a teenager when this came out (so the 70’s) and I knew that they were Dutch back then. Some DJ’s would talk about them after they played the song on the radio. I definitely knew that they weren’t American!

[@ydqpljn]

golden earring twilight zone live

[@garychildress2769]

White Lion did a great cover.

[@derekhauffe7197]

Watch the animated movie Heavy Metal. This and many other great tunes were featured. The movie is silly, fun, and such a product of its time.

[@BettyLee-ch5bj]

I believe that they are a Swedish band.

[@allengator1914]

You should do their song "Twilight Zone" (When the Bullet Hits the Bone) next.

[@Shads62]

yeah and then there was text msg ;)

[@AP-gb3eh]

Old muscle car lover here, this was a great highway song for overstimulated teenagers back then

[@TerryStrain-f1y]

You only now heard one of the mostb popular songs of the 70s and everafter...??

[@PhillyGirl64]

You need to listen to The Twilight Zone by them. Fantastic song too!

[@cschwad559]

Next song is Twilight Zone which is my favorite

[@GeorgeCrosby-z5d]

Try their other song twight zone

[@allanboyer2769]

Dutch rockers.

[@rafehr1378]

This tune is my least liked on their first album. The "Moontan" tune is way better. They Rocked live. My deceased sister-in-law dated the lead singer in Seattle. 1968, '69

[@losttribe9107]

smoooooooth....

[@polycarphunter2257]

truck driving song.

[@lauriebhoy1984]

Don't buy the album . I saw them in Glasgow and they opened with this , everybody went nuts . They played another two that were duff so they played Radar again , then in the encore nobody was howling for . Real one hitters . Everybody was just waiting for a European world class rock band and the Cloggies looked favourites , the nearest thing they got to it was Abba . One of life's mysteries BTW he never soloed because he couldn't .

[@renedavids6154]

Didyou ever did 'WhenThea lay smiles'' from this group, this is the uncensored version (sorry) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZrbgXdpgbVrftU. Love your eactions. Your fair.

[@EagleMacCassady]

You better not play this song while driving, it makes your foot press down on the gas pedal really hard and it's hard to pull it back...

[@phillipjohnson1459]

U can't not like this song

[@claudelariviere8640]

i love "ARE YOU RECEIVING ME " from them
