Mad Love is Coming (A Golden Earring appreciation thread)

One of the first CD's I bought was The Continuing Story of Radar Love (Greatest Hits).
Twilight Zone was my first exposure to them followed by Radar Love. (chances are i hear radar love first but didnt know who sang it)
ive watched a few concerts of theirs thanks to Youtube and I have a DVD concert at home i bought from denmark.
Barry Hay and George Kooymans make great singers on their respective songs though i suspect George much rather play the guitar (sadly he was diagnosed with ASL so the band decided to call it quit rather than replace him).
I had no idea they had been around for 60 years until they retired. 60 fucking years is stones level of staying together though the most famous incarnation of the band didnt come together until 1969 when Cesar Zuiderwijk joined. i know steve harris from Iron Maiden looks at Rinus Gerritsen as a major influence of his.
