===Later years (1990s–2021)===
In 1991, Golden Earring had another hit in the Netherlands with "Going to the Run", a rock-ballad about a [[Hells Angels]] motorcycle gang member who was a friend of the band and died in a crash. The Russian rock band [[Aria (band)|Aria]] made a successful cover of "Going to the Run" as "Беспечный ангел" ("Careless Angel"). Between 1992 and 2004, the band released three acoustic live unplugged albums, which became quick successes. The first, ''The Naked Truth'', sold 450,000 copies within the first few years<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-29 |title=The Dutch Iconic blues albums: The Golden Earring - Naked Truth |url=https://www.bluesmagazine.nl/the-dutch-iconic-blues-albums-the-golden-earring-naked-truth/ |access-date=2025-01-28 |language=nl-NL}}</ref> and became the third-best selling album of 1993 in the Netherlands.<ref>{{Cite web |title=JAAROVERZICHTEN - Album 1993 |url=https://dutchcharts.nl/jaaroverzichten.asp?year=1993&cat=a |access-date=2025-01-28 |website=dutchcharts.nl}}</ref>

Golden Earring celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2011, which the [[PostNL|Dutch postal service]] honored with a stamp that contained a music link: when a smartphone with a special app is held up to the music stamp, Golden Earring's "Radar Love" plays.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2011-10-10|title=Postzegel voor de Golden Earring|url=http://www.westonline.nl/nieuws/postzegel-voor-golden-earring|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111209235025/http://www.westonline.nl/nieuws/postzegel-voor-golden-earring|archive-date=2011-12-09|website=Westonline|language=nl}}</ref>
