Golden Earing 1961-2021. The worlds longest surviving rock band with all the original members. They finally had to pack it in in 2021 when their guitarist was diagnosed with ALS.
@@KWayne6756 Have you heard Radar Love, When the Lady smiles, vanilla queen, Candys gone bad, maybe you should listen to a few songs before you call a band a one hit wonder
You guys lucked out finding eachother. Two intelligent, good looking people who have good hearts and good taste in music. Never forget how lucky you are. Many people never obtain such a thing in their lifetime.
I'd pay good money to hang with them in a room with a serious hifi system. Like, part your hair kinda system. There is still sooo dang much these two awesome humans need to hear and hear Loud !
MTV had only come out on the scene a couple years or so before this song came out. Maybe two or three or so. But the amount of heavy rotation that this video got on mtv. They probably played at 6 or 8 times a day. Probably for 6 months or more. That's one MTV actually played music.
I remember flying down I-85 in Alabama with this cranked on the stereo in my flat black 73 Charger. I couldn't even hear the roar of the 440 engine over the music. What memories this brings back.
The spoken part in the beginning: 'Somewhere in a lonely hotel room, there's a guy starting to realize that eternal fate has turned its back on him. It's 2AM.'
I absolutely love this song. Every time this song came on the radio, I stopped what I was doing so that I could fully experience it. For me, New Order and the Blue Oyster Cult give me similar vibes.

There is a really great song called "Frankenstein" from a band called "The Edgar Winter Group" . THen Golden earing has another good tune "Vanilla Queen" .
We had a skinny friend in high school. We called him Bone Man. Whenever the Bullet hits the bone part came, we would point at Bone Man. This usually occurred over beers.
As an Old Man, I have to say that I am SHOCKED that neither one of you have watched The original Twilight Zone Television series! It IS the Best Television series of all time! It was SO culturally significant that it's influence reached Every television, Film, and music genre which followed. You have got to find it, on whatever device you can use to obtain it, and watch the whole series. Every episode was unique. The only person who appeared on every episode was the announcer: Rod himself. I don't believe that 20th, or early 21st, Century media can be understood without some basic knowledge of The Twilight Zone.
Twilight Zone Marathon is on every year on New Years Eve and day on the USA network. The back to back shows run for 24 hours straight. I always watch them. You are so right how great they were.
60 years later and I can still name my top 15 favorite Twilight Zone episodes. That show had a major impact on me. My siblings & I still talk about our favorite shows. Now my kids and grandkids love watching them.
Was going to say the same thing. I never noticed it until I got used to the full version - the instrumental break has such a long and satisfying buildup, and now the cuts in the shortened version are super-noticeable and feel like being cheated.
I don't think I have heard this song in over a decade. I was a kid of the 80s and I remember this song and video very well. Thanks for bringing back this memory, lady and gentleman!
Yes, do Radar Love for Amber! It's soooooo good. As I recall, You reacted to Radar Love once already. That was before the channel was just starting up, and Amber wasn't there yet.
THIS song was created because the leader read and was in love with the "Jason Bourne" books. A spy "disavowed/out in the cold"...and...kicked azz. What more could you want. OH, a song would make it better. AND IT DID!!!
@@BlackieNuff the novel The Bourne Identity was 1980. I myself loved the first 3 novels. The movies not so much. Whether the idea for this song came from the book...I have no idea.
As a young man I wasn’t an avid reader of novels until I was introduced to Robert Ludlum. The Bourne Identify changed my life. I also saw Golden Earing but had no idea the connection. So, thanks for that.
I am from 1970 too. Grew up with 70s-90s music. From early seventies I heard the hits on the radio or tv practically every day. Later on I got interested in 12 inch maxi versions…
Great reaction. You should definitely check out the extended version of this. This is the cut down version for mtv. Extended version is so much better on the guitar solo. I played in bands for over 30 years and after the first couple on seconds of the guitar intro the place would go wild. Always one of my favorites. Always ready for a new post from you all. If you get a chance react to Riding the storm out by REO Speedwagon. Great song we used to close our shows out.
Agreed! The extended version is really awesome with a slow build up to the finish of that amazing guitar part. I miss a lot of those musical middle parts of those 70's and 80's songs.
Yes, this version screws you out of basically the entire kick ass solo and it hurt me knowing that they would miss out on it when Jay commented on the guitarwork early on.
God bless you two young Americans. I was a young Sergeant in the Marine Corps in 1982. When MTV rocked this song, the whole of our Barracks rocked. To us, the song was Cold War spy vs. spy based. Later found out it was based on one's battle with the alcohol demon. Either way, one of the most endearing pieces of music of my day.
I did not know that. As a fan of classic films I find that cool. I don't think I've ever seen the film. Too bad, since I love Marlene Dietrich. I'll have to watch for it on TCM.
ANd then there is the song When the lady smiles - think the original clip was censored in the USA.... The director was Dick Maas, who made some very memorable movies in the Netherlands
This was the edited radio version of the song at 4:43... the original album version is 7:58... if you liked the guitar part you should listen to that version. The solo goes longer. This was from 1982... their other big US hit was "Radar Lover" and that was from 1973. This song had more keyboards giving it that 80s sound.
Whenever I hear this song, I think about the song Fantasy by Aldo Nova. They had to have been out at the same time. I can picture these videos on MTV in heavy rotation. Classic 80s music.🔥
Amber will love "Radar Love". Especially the line "Brenda Lee is coming on strong". Now that you have reacted to a Brenda Lee song you know who that is :-)
I'm retired now but this song reminds of work and some of the people I worked with, got to have fun and good times. It went to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 and was part of the MTV thing.
The bullet cutting through the playing card was the cover of this album. The name of the album was called Cut. The album that Radar Love came off of called Moon-Tan had two other great tracks called Candy's Gone Bad and Are you Receiving Me
Love this song, and also the TV show, "The Twilight Zone" (the original from the '60s). I was afraid of the theme song as a child. 😄 Every New Years Eve, the SyFy channel runs it for 24hrs. Very good stories....creepy, suspenseful, and makes you think. Speaking of the title, check out the song "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone" by *The Manhattan Transfer* . Amber, it'll give you some outer space vibes. 🙂 A while back, I emailed a list of many of my favorites by them. They sing in the style called vocalese. They sing in the notes and speed that the instrument plays. Pretty cool.
One of their best songs is 'She Flies on Strange Wings' from their 1971 album Seven Tears. There's a vid for the song with the band set up on the roof of an apartment building.
Moontan got rereleased....extra songs, remastered....great stuff, arguably their best album! With Radar love and in my opinion their best song Vanilla queen. This band is Dutch pride at its best! The cocky singer Barry Hay, superdrummer Cesar Zuiderwijk, very underrated great bass player Rinus Gerritsen and the great recognizable guitar by George Kooymans! Now you did point out the bass!!! Vanilla queen will be another treat in that regard. 👍
"The Twilight Zone" is must see tv. Hosted by Rod Serling, it is a multiple genre, but usuallly science fiction/ horror anthology television series , with surprising endings and morals to the story, that started in 1959 and ran about 5 years and is a part of American Culture.
in the 70s Rod Serling hosted a similar show "Night Gallery" which had a really creepy but cool opening. The stories were more scary than TZ, less irony.
@@joemachine4714 Thanks for the info and reply Joe, I did not know he wrote Planet of the Apes, since I am a huge fan of that series I should have. I vaguely remember Night Gallery,
One of my favorites. I always loved the voice over at the beginning "It's 2am" 🎶🎶🎶 they remind me of the band .38 Special or Blue Öyster Cult for some reason. Keep smiling!! 😁
I know this song well...but not the video. I've always thought that the song had a ZZTop vibe. Then, just now, in the video, three guys in long coats, grooving together sold me. This is an homage to ZZTop! I love it. I'm glad you've discovered it.
I agree. The Temptations as well as Motown as well as R&B in general are sadly being neglected. In particular, Aretha Franklin can't get arrested on this channel. Frustrating.
This is my absolute favorite era of music 💖🙏 I have a request for Female Friday: Missing Persons, they're not as well known for some reason and they were great in the early 80s 🙏🎶
"When the bullet hits the bone" .... A friend's younger brother thought it was "when my brothers on the phone"... I cant hear this song without thinking of that and smiling.... 🤣
Saw Golden Earring in the 80s 🔥 at the strangest concert I ever attended!💯😳 They opened for 38 Special!🤪 The crowd was punk rockers, hippies, and cowboys!😂🤣 Fun concert for sure!😁♥️✌
"Your boy's gonna buy a bass guitar!" Do it! Best decision I ever made. Next Stops, Songs That Made Me Want to Be a Bass Player Edition: Rush, "Show Don't Tell" Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, "The Sinister Minister" (must be a live video) Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Higher Ground"
If you're going this era of old school, I would like to make a suggestion. I saw you do a reaction for "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet last May. Well their first (and biggest) hit was a song that drove me crazy. Everybody at school teased me with the song for months (I really liked the song but the joke got real old real fast 🤬). The song was released as a non-album single in the UK and then in America. The song is "Little Willy" (and I think you can guess what my name is 🤔). It's a fun song that your kids may even like. Mine danced to it until they wore out my old 45. Here's a link for you. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/NM6I-pmV0RA/w-d-xo.html
OOOHHhhhhh you guys hit a cool song! Based on the book the Bourne Identity. Jay you have a good ear regarding the importance of the bass. Sting once said, the reason he plays base is because he can then direct the movement of the song. The bass is the foundation upon which the other instruments can grow.
Y’all picked a real banger! This is a song that I’ve always loved and have to be very careful if I’m driving and this song comes on. It tends to cause speeding tickets.
I love y'all. Amber, don't lose that southern drawl. When you said ,"smile" you made me smile. I'm from Georgia. And I love how you guys feel the music and lose yourselves in it. I loved this reaction. I cover my eyes up to keep from seeing scary and gory too.
When this came out, I would blow this song up on the drums, cover band. Fun times. And nobody in Spokane played this better than Mark Perioni, rip. My hero.
This song is just awesome!! The lead singer is Barry Hay. Great voice. And you’re right about the guitar, combo of blues and rock rhythms. Excellent jam.
This has been edited for MTV. Check out the full length version from their album, here on YT. Err, umm... through the years I'm sure word got back to them that they had unintentionally created one of the greatest, "Stripper/Pole Dance songs of the 80's!
This song used to be the signal.. time to leave the bar. Hear this song at the end of the night, time to meet up and move out. If you weren't at the car by the end of the song...you're on foot.
Amber always says she can't dance but is one of the best chair dancers around. Love the reactions.
Glad you said chair and not couch
@@flogg8635 Lmao
Love her vibe! I need a women that likes real music
I agree I bet she really can dance if she just would let her body go to the beat of the music.
Amber is the best reactor on TH-cam bar none. Pure joy and perceptive with new music.

Golden Earring is a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961. "Radar Love" was a hit in 1973. "Twilight Zone" was a hit in 1982.
And they had a top 5 hit in their home country as late as 2005. They had a LOOOOONG run!
Funny how White Lion, another Dutch band, covered Radar Love, in the Hair band era
@@alexsherel3344 White Lion was from New York except the lead singer Mike Tramp who was , you are right, Dutch
@@davidkelly2355 keep forgetting there's more than 1 guy in a band lol...
Their live album is top notch.
The spoken part in the beginning: 'Somewhere in a lonely hotel room, there's a guy starting to realize that eternal fate has turned its back on him. It's 2AM.'
The whole music video is like a spy movie, grittier than the James Bond style.
I think it was such a kind gesture for Golden Earring to disband after George Kooymans (lead guitar) diagnosis of ALS. George is irreplaceable.
Absolutely. One of the greatest guitar solos ever is George at Rockpalast (live) playing Vanilla Queen. He is spectacular.
Well let's face it, they have nothing left to prove.
ALS is such a horrible disease, worse than cancer imo
I absolutely love this song. Every time this song came on the radio, I stopped what I was doing so that I could fully experience it. For me, New Order and the Blue Oyster Cult give me similar vibes.
I totally agree with you on BOC. Their list of hits is long and full of rock!
You need to take a moment to watch everything that video is giving you, as it is PACKED with surreal storytelling.
“When the bullet hits the bone.” (Pow)
Cue bass solo
Great song from my teenage years.🔥👍🤘🏻🎧
I was driving up a mountain under a full moon when I changed the radio station and that bridge came on. I will never forget it
"Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone" were great, great songs. Both make for dangerous driving songs. The gas pedal gets so heavy.
Do check out back home, when the lady smiles, going on the run, another 40 miles unplugged
This is one of those "lead foot" songs.
Song comes on radio while driving. Half way through the song. You look down. Your doing 90 mph.
Radar Love too!
Definitely a ticket song lol 😆

I know this song well...but not the video. I've always thought that the song had a ZZTop vibe. Then, just now, in the video, three guys in long coats, grooving together sold me. This is an homage to ZZTop! I love it. I'm glad you've discovered it.
Go Motown, The Temptations, Papa was a Rolling Stone, a great song by a great group.
I agree. The Temptations as well as Motown as well as R&B in general are sadly being neglected. In particular, Aretha Franklin can't get arrested on this channel. Frustrating.
YES! THE MUSIC VIDEO!!! This is how we all fell in love with the song. It was in heavy MTV rotation, what a great song and band. 😁❤️
An oldie but a goodie! Great reaction guys! 😃👍
Great Euro-Rock from the early 80's. The lead singer is Barry Hay.
Such a Jam! Glad you got to this one!
☮️
This awesome band had two classic rock anthems 10 years apart..My wife and I still rock to it!!
Only two in the U.S., many more than that!
Guys go check out the family on Facebook. Jordan has been going live from Disney
i remember taking my ACT test in 1983 and a car driving down the street blasting this, which pleasantly distracted me 🤓
sorry, that was me.
Just want to say, I haven't seen you do someone that was big in the 80s and beyond. The absolute best parodies of all time
WEIRD AL YANKOVIC!!!
Best drums and bass recordings ever made - from golden earring
Yes!
the leadsinger is Barry Hey i saw them Live in 1985....just great
This is my absolute favorite era of music 💖🙏
I have a request for Female Friday:
Missing Persons, they're not as well known for some reason and they were great in the early 80s 🙏🎶
Great Los Angeles New Wave band! "Words," "Walking in LA," "Destination Unknown"....just wow...
Yes Please!!!😊
"When the bullet hits the bone" .... A friend's younger brother thought it was "when my brothers on the phone"... I cant hear this song without thinking of that and smiling.... 🤣
Your next Golden Earring needs to be "Candy's Going Bad". Great rhythm guitar with some wah-wah pedal action.
Not a bad pick, but I'd push more for The Devil Made Me Do It just for how elemental it is for them.
My brother and myself loved this song. Another great song from 1982 was The Clash performing 'Rock the Casbah".
This song is Amazing! It's a total banger!😃👍
Copperhead Road by Steve Earle!!!! Great song!!!
Please react to : When the lady smiles!!!!! One of their best songs!!!! And a fantastic clip!!!!!
Saw Golden Earring in the 80s 🔥 at the strangest concert I ever attended!💯😳 They opened for 38 Special!🤪 The crowd was punk rockers, hippies, and cowboys!😂🤣 Fun concert for sure!😁♥️✌
Yay! My husband has been waiting for this one, I can't wait until he can watch it with me later. Thanks for the awesome reaction as always! :)
One of the BEST mainstream songs of the 80’s! Those were the days.
Such so very very good days 😊
"Your boy's gonna buy a bass guitar!" Do it! Best decision I ever made. Next Stops, Songs That Made Me Want to Be a Bass Player Edition:
Rush, "Show Don't Tell"
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, "The Sinister Minister" (must be a live video)
Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Higher Ground"
Higher Ground by RHCP is an awesome cover song from Stevie Wonder!!
best Dutch band ever. Stay strong, George!
You guys should react to…
Golden Earring - Radar Love
🎸🤘
Jay did that one on his own before.
@@brianh9358 Then Amber needs to hear it!
I was about 5 when this song came out, and whenever it came on MTV, I would run out and sing along no matter what I was playing with.
I always get a ZZ Top vibe from this song. It really sounds like it could've been one of their songs.
The singer's name is Barry Hay.
If you're going this era of old school, I would like to make a suggestion. I saw you do a reaction for "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet last May. Well their first (and biggest) hit was a song that drove me crazy. Everybody at school teased me with the song for months (I really liked the song but the joke got real old real fast 🤬).
The song was released as a non-album single in the UK and then in America. The song is "Little Willy" (and I think you can guess what my name is 🤔). It's a fun song that your kids may even like. Mine danced to it until they wore out my old 45. Here's a link for you. Enjoy.

gotta love early 80s music.
The perfect night driving song....turn it up, roll the windows down and cruise.
OOOHHhhhhh you guys hit a cool song!
Based on the book the Bourne Identity.
Jay you have a good ear regarding the importance of the bass. Sting once said, the reason he plays base is because he can then direct the movement of the song. The bass is the foundation upon which the other instruments can grow.
Saw Golden Earring open for Rush at the fabulous Forum in L.A., circa 1983, Signals tour. Love this song and Radar Love. Great show! 🔥🤣
Y’all picked a real banger! This is a song that I’ve always loved and have to be very careful if I’m driving and this song comes on. It tends to cause speeding tickets.
I love y'all. Amber, don't lose that southern drawl. When you said ,"smile" you made me smile. I'm from Georgia. And I love how you guys feel the music and lose yourselves in it. I loved this reaction. I cover my eyes up to keep from seeing scary and gory too.
When this came out, I would blow this song up on the drums, cover band. Fun times. And nobody in Spokane played this better than Mark Perioni, rip. My hero.
I grew up in the 60s, and you two are such a joy to watch enjoying "my" music.
This song is just awesome!! The lead singer is Barry Hay. Great voice. And you’re right about the guitar, combo of blues and rock rhythms. Excellent jam.
This has been edited for MTV. Check out the full length version from their album, here on YT.
Err, umm... through the years I'm sure word got back to them that they had unintentionally created one of the greatest, "Stripper/Pole Dance songs of the 80's!
This song used to be the signal.. time to leave the bar. Hear this song at the end of the night, time to meet up and move out. If you weren't at the car by the end of the song...you're on foot.
