During the 80s, Golden Earring was heavily influenced by electronic music. Bloody Buccaneers, released in 1991, was much more guitar-driven and the Earring sounded more self-assured than during the recordings of their previous albums. The fans embraced this sound and the album became a huge international success. The song “Going To The Run”, about a Hell’s Angel who tragically died in an accident, instantly became a Golden Earring classic. It remains a well-loved track among fans and is often regarded as one of the standout songs from the album.
