Rockshow episode 202 Golden Earring\n\nGolden Earring was a rock band from the Netherlands, founded in 1961 in The Hague. The band initially went by the name The Golden Earrings and released their first single, \u201cPlease Go,\u201d in 1965. They shortened their name to Golden Earring in 1969.\n\nGolden Earring is best known internationally for their hit singles \u201cRadar Love\u201d (1973), \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d (1982), and \u201cWhen the Lady Smiles\u201d (1984). Their music style blends rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, with influences from psychedelic rock in their early years.\n\nThe band\u2019s most enduring lineup included Barry Hay (vocals, guitar, flute), George Kooymans (guitar, vocals), Rinus Gerritsen (bass, keyboards), and Cesar Zuiderwijk (drums). This lineup was remarkably stable for decades, contributing to the band\u2019s longevity and consistent sound.\n\nGolden Earring maintained a significant presence in the Dutch and European rock scenes for many years, with a career spanning over five decades. They released numerous albums, both studio and live, and continued to perform until 2021, when they announced their retirement following George Kooymans\u2019 diagnosis with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).\n\nThe band\u2019s legacy is marked by their energetic live performances, innovative music, and enduring popularity, particularly in the Netherlands.\n\nhttps://golden-earring.nl/\n\nhttps://youtube.com/@goldenearringofficial?si=pgQdaeD1VVAnUX_7\n\nhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/1iTlOqIrZy8DlvCPJY2sjS?si=d_9iFzzkRGODODuqcx2tQg\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/share/ci3UtSfwX9oEyrEZ/?mibextid=LQQJ4d\n\nhttps://x.com/4goldenearring?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg\n\nhttps://x.com/4goldenearring?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg\n\n#GoldenEarring #RadarLove #TwilightZone #WhenTheLadySmiles #DutchRock #ClassicRock #RockLegends #BarryHay #GeorgeKooymans #RinusGerritsen #CesarZuiderwijk #RockMusic #MusicLegends #RockHistory #NetherlandsMusic\n\nPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossi\n\nGet your T-shirt at \nhttps://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup\nAnd \nhttps://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/\n\nSubscribe to the channel and hit the like button \n\nThis episode is sponsored by \xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support \n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup
