Kooymans, the guitarist and co-lead singer of Dutch rock band Golden Earring, has passed away at the age of 77, after a long battle with ALS. With Radar Love (released in 1973), the band gave us, possibly, the ultimate road trip tune.

Saw them open for Rush on the Signals tour in 1983.  They were good.  Their drummer in particular was good. 
 

Also, I think Mike Tramp had too much of the random hair band whiny voice back in the day, but damn if White Lion’s version of Radar Love and the video wasn’t greatness in those days. That was mostly because of Vito Bratta, but Golden Earring gave them something classic to work with.

That was my first ever concert , at The Summit 😆, I was an 8th grader.   I remember Golden Earring played Twilight Zone and Radar Love at least 12 minutes long for each. And Rush sounded exactly like the album. And there weren't many girls there. Never saw Rush again lol

Vito Bratta is great.

Rush is one of those bands that dudes and (largely) musicians really appreciate.  If you wanna go to a show with ladies and/or to meet ladies, Rush ain't it.
