I know I know this is the wrong forum, but this new
Justin Biber video is astonishing.
Anyway, I was listening to Golden Earring just now. They exist since 1961(!), and since 1970(!!!) in the same line-up, the same four guys. Some oddities:
- the bassist was once asked to join the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he declined
- both Radar Love (1973) and Twilight Zone (1982) were made sort of as a farewell song, each time they were on the verge of breaking up but both became such smash hits that they decided to stick together
I've never listened to them really, at least no full albums. This is my favourite song, and especially it's video:
When The Lady Smiles (1984). This video was banned in the USA by MTV which sort of ruined their US tour, and is probably NSFW especially if you work in a church
Very impressive video when I saw it first, as a 12 year old...
My new favourite however is this Byrds cover they did in 1969, a stunning 19 minute long version of
Eight Miles High. Savage Clone will most probably like it too
This
Winterland 1975 full concert is pretty cool too, check out the guitar solo of Vanilla Queen for instance
