Savez vous quelle est la plus vieille formation de rock du monde encore en activité? Les Rolling Stones? ...Raté, c'est le groupe hollandais Golden Earring (à l'origine the Golden Ear-rings) qui les précèdent de quelques mois une de ces quelques formations néerlandaises à avoir traversé les frontières de leur pays via un tube: Radar Love. Mais revenons en à nos moutons, et plus précisément en 1966, une année décidément très présente sur ce blog, après un premier LP l'année précédente, le combo de La Hague (un vivier pour la scène nederbiet) sort quelques simples supplémentaire, sur l'un d'eux en face b se trouve la tuerie "the words I need" sur une rythmique bien punchy, se pose de délicates harmonies vocales, et ça tue tout simplement, quelques part entre la beat anglaise et the Association, quelque chose dans le genre.
Can you tell me which is the oldest rock band of the world (still in activity)? Maybe the Stones...well...good idea but a dutch band was created some months before the british gang...the Golden Earring (or Golden Ear-rings)! They are from La Hague released their first LP in 1965, and were one of the finest nederbiet bands. In 1966 they released that day as a single backed with the words I need, the B side is amazing, on a good driving beat they put some great vocals, and then there is that fine guitar solo, well...just great stuff!
