I recently discovered this video posted Feb 12, 2021. I did not see it previously referenced with a link. Sorry if I missed it.

The video is a tour of the guitar collection of George Kooymans, lead guitar player and one of the vocalists of Golden Earring, who wrote and recorded the song Twilight Zone. Sadly, he was recently diagnosed with ALS and the band will no longer perform. I was interested in seeing his guitar collection. At around 3:30 into the video, you see (and hear) his TZ!

If he chose to sell it, I think it would go for more than a HEP LOL.

That's pretty cool, that.

Nice find.
Love that song because it means Twilight Zone pinball machine.

“Man I love this song!!...I’ve been driving all night my hands wet on the wheel..., I’ve got some pizza and I’m bringing it home”

That is awesome. I, sadly, don't speak Dutch, and did not see an option for subtitles, but..

I'm wondering how often he actually plays the game.

It's NOT a proto/sample, and he has a credit dot. So.. it gets played, or the clock burnt itself out.

If he ever wanted to sell it, I do not think local pickup only would be a deal breaker.

Does anyone know what the interviewer said before George replied Yeaahhh? He seemed very proud of his Twilight Zone pinball machine playing the song he wrote.

The feedback I received by a Pinsider who speaks Dutch is:

INTERVIEWER:

''hah, it's all there by itself' and then,
'hmm I know this tune from somewhere' and then he says
'This is kind of impressive'

GEORGE KOOYMANS:

'yeah'

Then they continue talking about guitars again.

Super cool thanks for posting! Man that dude has a lot of cool guitars. I guess being in the Netherlands' most successful band for 60 years has been profitable.

With Golden Earring's retirement I believe the Rolling Stones take over the title of world's longest-running rock band.
