From Wikipedia: "Elton John had appeared on TV with Bolan before, miming the piano part of "Get it On" on the 1971 Christmas edition of Top of the Pops."
Brilliant band. First saw them in 1970 at The Kings Hall in Belle View Manchester when Ride a White Swan went big. Saw them 3 times in all. Never realise at the time how much those days would mean to me.
the guy was my idol as a teen ,kinda guess he still is after all these years,i meet his mum and dad a year after he died great people,great family ,great guy ,
Music was music in those days it was played and people listened, rather than now where performance is what music is. makes me happy to still play this in my car.
All Glam rock is supposed to be played at maximum volume it was designed that way, very often on 45s and albums it used to tell you TO BE PLAYED AT MAX VOL
this is a driving beat from a tyrannosaurus on acid driving a low slung camaro with fat rear tires punching it on a country road and smirking at his blonde girlfriend in a halter top and purple choker and short shorts and perfectly tanned bare feet on the dash and just as the camaro busts 130 she feels herself orgasm from the speed and the dino's fkng smirk.

We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base
You can change our future with one simple click.
Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.
If you like check the other artists we have over 90 vids up!
To the critics/those who don't get these old songs. Remember they're all tied in with memories, for those of us who were 21 when this was released. For me this was one of the sexiest songs around at that time, with a mega base riff.....made to be played LOUD at parties.
Best way to hear this is to imagine a real T-Rex Dinasaur moving and groving toout T-Rex. the beat - try thinking of it an I'm sure you'll see in your imagination one way
Did any one check out the alibi of the chap who marc bolan stole a song off but was later settled out of court, might have not been an accident you know ?
92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos.KEEP ROCK ALIVE
@rynnebrian REALLY. The fact that Elton is visible and playing the piano in this vid led u to think that u might be alone in sussing it?????? Welcome back from Mars.
@rynnebrian Holy crap! I thought I knew everything! I was so drawn into the realization that every rock band since has copied these guys that I didn't notice!
@rynnebrian Did Years ago - wife got it on VCR tape because I love T-Rex, was watchin', Holy Moly (rolleys, nutha favorite band ) Thats EJ on keyboard, and He's about 16. Sorry they muted it - What Sound editors are for
Pure classic Rock, retro all the way. Old School's Granddad. But I really think cool continues there are peaks all the time--Busted, McFly, and American groups like Owl City and Boys Like Girls, to mention only a few of the many who have brilliant sounds.
Its funny, I was never old enough to appreciate this style of music when it was on air, in fact I did not like the 60's & 70's music until recently and compared to the modern music, T-Rex is very cool.
Yep cool was definately peaking around this time ........ 60 70s were the greatest times for a teenager especially if you were in rock bands in the times of Peace Love and Happiness and they will never be the same or cool ..... These days they pimp the word cool .
I once worked with Bill Legend, he was a really good bloke, and an outstanding Magic Marker visualiser. And I was a studio junior in a design studio in Soho.
i introduced myself to this band like a week back and my youTube doesn't play anything else than T-Rex. i would love to hear your suggestions to cover the best of T-Rex.
t-rex what a band, my dad listened to them and got me into them so grateful<3
