I am far from a music expert or critic, I stumble upon things from time to time and I just like it. I found this kid on Youtube and he covers tunes from some bands that I really loved in my youth.
My man George Kooymans from Golden Earring twice got rushed to hospital, once not far from my hometown in the Netherlands when he got electrocuted with his Guitar and they could not pry it out of his hands, on top of that they docked the bands pay for missing some of the show
Another time at a festival during a pyrotechnics part of the song, a shard of metal got embedded in his neck narrowly missing an artery That's the last time they used explosions
Moontan is one of my favourite albums ever, and I’m primarily a punk rock guy, but I have the played the crap out of that album and have never gotten bored of it.
Both versions.
I can easily get down with punk,did a lot of slam-dancing back in the day,even at a few weddings!
Moontan is great, I guess you have the different releases? the US one is better imo. Not many are that familiar with them, it's actually a shame, as is the news about George
I just had to google the news, yes very sad, they must be an institution to you if you’re from the Netherlands as they go all the way back to the mid 60’s, no? Or he had a previous band that had some hits in that decade? Regardless, must be extra legendary to you.
The US one eliminates the shorter songs and has Big Tree, Blue Sea (which is sooooo good) but I got familiar with the euro track list first so that’s still my go to. I do have the US one on vinyl. I know you know the former, lol, don’t know why I wrote that out but am leaving it in.
When I say punk, I don’t necessarily mean slam dancing and that specific genre, to me it’s just anything rooted in the Velvet Underground, the Stooges and the MC5. I guess I use the term broadly.
Think he likes John Lennon?
There you go again, jumping the gun.How could anyone possibly know if they never heard of these guys
There you go again, jumping the gun.
It wasn't a reciprocal question, just that the beginning sounds a bit like John. They did Helter Skelter live and it was amazing.
Thought I'd share this here too ! I just learned my band's video is going to be in the running for a few Awards at a bunch of Festivals this year ... This week has been surreal
Any Metallica fans?
Yeah, she's unique. Did you have a listen at the other video I posted? The black and white one?Not bad. She has a unique voice as far as pop singers go and this sounds a lot better than when most artists from that genre try to perform rock songs.
He's the GOAT dominican artist.Music like that always reminds me of the Caribbean,love it!
