George Kooymans, founding member and lead-guitarist (as well as occasional lead singer) of Golden Earring, has died from ALS-related issues.
Needless to say, this is big news here in The Netherlands, as Golden Earring (or The Golden Earrings as they were called in the early days) is the oldest and most successful rockband in Dutch music history (formed in 1961 !).

Several of his songs were included on the soundtrack of Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects (2005), most memorably To Be Treated Rite from Reid's Seed Of Memory album (1976).
