T - Rex - Rock On

[MrRoaldbe]

My first album , back in 76:)

[opossumd]

I'm shocked that the British Heritage have refused to dedicate a blue plaque to him, saying he didn't have the required "stature". He is and will always be a myth.

[JeddorianJalapeno]

He was a ground breaker and had some sounds on vinyl before the stones started to imitate his sounds .

[neversinkmidnight]

Rock -on----- Baby -I'll Meet you one day!! Just Love this guy. He was my intro to rock and roll -

What a great way to come of age , ----- in the age, of REAL MUSIC.

[kneapoe51]

A simple kick-ass tune. One of many from T. Rex. R.I.P. Mr. Bolan Rock On!!

[alvinvrioni]

t.rex the best but it is not so rock

[SuperMario7Star]

T.Rex has been a fav band of mine for nearly 3 years now, and I must know every lyric on The Slider! This is their best album, and if your new to the band, this album is where to go! I personally think this is loads better than Electric Warrior. It's shameful that their Folk Rock music didn't get Bolan anywhere. Please, check out their first 2 albums, Unicorn and A Beard of Stars!

Thank you for uploading.

[riverduck3]

What the heck is "glam rock"? Ugh...do we have to gay everything? lol

[TheHappyNarwhals]

[lechoo1000]

god bless you, we will join you one day

[MrSontaran3]

Another Great Piece of Music from Mr B ! !

[rkardos01]

I think labeling this music as Glam Rock hurt it more then helped it. I think its just good rock that stands the test of time.

[hearditman]

@rkardos01 So true. It wasn't even called glam rock at the time!

[rickk4art]

T Rex was just so great! He (Bolan) was such a wonderful talent and unique artist that he is truly timeless and always sounds fresh and valid....I wish we had some stars and rock groups even close to that now in 2011

[jhchouston]

These guys are AWESOME!.. I love their super-fun, life is a party, rock-n-roll style. Soo unique.

[Fortwentt]

53 still crispy.

[libsbelle]

still remember essen germany 1972 rock on forever 

[ontariomotorspeedway]

T Rex was no show at Long Beach Oct. 21 1974. He was supposed to open for BOC. Damn! I was there, wish he show up!

[maddog357ful]

*What more can we say, Rock On!* What an incredible talent-so very glad I got to see Him in '73!*

[mymusic777ify]

ALL MY THOUGHTS OF LOVE TO MARC TODAY!

[mrshinermoon]

Rock on marc

[the1truebeliever]

Marc is in my heart. Rock on!

[TheStonesfan50]

RIP Marc Bolan

[hilvldruid]

Fucking Best.

[experienceadvertisin]

Ahhh ya!! Crank it in your speakers!

[stickypuddler]

I really miss vinyl. This transferred over to digital much better than most albums from that time.They seem to lose a little soul or something. I have the 2 disc set with The Slider and the original and/or alternate versions of the final songs on The Slider. When I left Hawaii in 79 I left about 4 hundred albums behind:(

[PottyEsq]

Yeah, I still 'ave original LP :)

[goldielocks591]

i love him so much!!!! wow so talented!!! : )

[supernog1]

Wow who is singing this it sounds like the son of god ?

[hearditman]

@supernog1 Well that'll be Jesus then.

[deblovesmusic100]

Oh yeah,,, T.REX- love it! Got this for Christmas back in the 70's- LOVE Mark Bolan- a very dear part of my growing up. ROCK ON. FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

[MegaSlags]

Some songs are really really good but will only be listened to for about 3 years after they where first released and then there's marc bolan's songs that will last forever.

[fuckingfernie]

i love the back up vocals :b

[67baggiebird]

im 52 now,spent 14 to 18 engrossed in his songs. saw him in westcliffe folkestone in 76,i think, fantastic!! got posted abroad with the army & found out he'd died 4 days after it happened... devastated,what a loss to rock n roll,british culture & me. he'll still be listened too long after ive gone,that speaks volumes.Rock On.

[16mmJunkie]

First TREX album I picked up in Berlin Germany...I was a young teen then GREAT ALBUM

[NeyxChaos]

I love all the songs in the slider, what a pearl!

[MaceMn]

This brings me back to Jr. High in the early 70's. Lived in a small town of 10,000 in Southern Minnesota. Every Friday & Saturday night saw 100's & 100's of kids invading downtown, hitting the pool hall, the youth center, the 3.2 bar, lining the streets, making out, smoking, toking, drinking, dropping lsd & mesc. Life was so much different then. Even the cops were laid-back. Seems like a dream now.

[MsFrances76]

this song is great! i luv it.....great musician.

[classicrockfan555]

You guy's aren't saying it right, it's ROCK ON. ROCK ON, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!!!

[bionic2700]

Loved T-Rex when I was in HIGH school. 56 years old now and still enjoy hearing that crisp beat music.

[34CYGNI]

@bionic2700 Loved T-Rex when I was in high school too. 18 years old now and still enjoy it.

[sinbartar]

@bionic2700  I loved T-Rex when I was a student in 1990. I know that I am from another generation but I love this music as you. Respect

[Milokostka]

i too 56years old...this is classic music for me*

[GuitarSwan]

Rock On.

[4girlsgramps]

For those three that didn't like this song or for that matter any of Marc Bolan's music....YOU must know or understand glam rock as some refered to Bolan's music. Call it glam rock, rock or just hard driving rock...REGARDLESS...Marc Bolan was one of the best rockers and was a master with the electric guitar. It was a sad day when Marc Bolan died....He left his imprint all over the world of rock...!!!!!!!!

[spacemouse1]

Marc Bolan could really jam !!!

I think that this is the best version of " Rock On" !!

[spacemouse1]

Marc Bolan could really jam !!!

[cherokeewarrior1]

[experienceads]

New Client! Time to Rock On!

[experienceads]

Rocking on with a new client!

[classicrockfan555]

Yeah, Rock On!!!

[ifyouwantbochin]

Original Glam

[TheDazedDude101]

@ifyouwantbochin this is not glam its classic rock

[ifyouwantbochin]

@TheDazedDude101 it also IS GLAM, read a little, google is your friend

[ifyouwantbochin]

@ifyouwantbochin "The most prevalent one was the intentionally disposable trashiness of T. Rex; leader Marc Bolan pioneered glam's fashion sense and crafted music that was all sexy, silly fun -- or, to put it another way, music where the surface was the substance. Artists like Gary Glitter, Sweet, and Slade followed the T. Rex aesthetic, in the process creating a substyle known as glitter (which was even more exclusively British)".

[ifyouwantbochin]

@TheDazedDude101 I did the homework for you: "Often confused with '80s hair metal (at least by American listeners), glam rock was an almost entirely British phenomenon that became wildly popular during the first half of the '70s. Glam rock was fairly simple, crunchy guitar rock put across with outrageous theatricality. Most of the music was unabashedly catchy, with melodies drawn from teenage bubblegum pop and hip-shaking rhythms from early rock & roll".

[TheBlebski]

@ifyouwantbochin - i guess you liked it then...lol

[ifyouwantbochin]

@TheDazedDude101 for mor information go to allmusic.com before you keep posting nonsense ok?

[andytrex]

"Mild Mouthed Rita, She's A Chevy Chase Cheetah". Lyrical gold. Classic. This could have been a huge hit in 72 if released as a single.

[palindromDK]

i love this track, but am I the onlye one who hears Ventilator Blues?

[hearditman]

@palindromDK Well, the intro to Ventilator Blues is definitely there, but I think Bolan has beefed it up and then created a whole different song. I mean it's Rock n Roll.....if you wanna blag you blag!

[palindromDK]

@hearditman Still love it no doubt about it, Stones stole a lot of licks aswell :) is that "blag" - to steal?

[hearditman]

@palindromDK Yeah, if you wanna steal you steal. Blag sounds better though :)

[TheBlebski]

love this all those years ago..and still do...it was a special time

[prunepurple]

Marc Bolan+Bowie+Roxy Music+Sparks= the Glam's holy grail

[potatoman122]

awesome

[TheBlebski]

baby rock on

[experienceads]

[MaceMn]

Only the good die young :(

[rkingscar]

[rkingscar]

[noahsdelight]

@MaceMn .Sweet As!

[ViciousBeatle]

I'm new to this band... just wondering who's the guy that does the backing vocals? He sounds like Axl Rose lol. I love this song regardless haha.

[MaceMn]

@ViciousBeatle Been listening to this album since I was 12, ('72) ... never grows old.

[Beatrizitaideal]

DIVINOOOOOOOOO.........MAGICOO­OOOOOOOO

[RoryNights]

Sweet T. Rex song.. haven't heard it in a long time.. and still great. Thanks for posting it :)

[experienceads]

This song always makes me feel good...like I can conquer the world!

[Jabbot123]

@experienceads Be careful,Attilla the Hun had that same feeling!

[Pierre696969]

@experienceads

This is exactly how I feel about it and how I felt, when I first heard it!!! :-)

[Joshpy27]

It sounds like Axl Rose singing in the background :D

[mileslake]

Actually it's Phlo and Eddy (the Phlourecent Leach and Eddie) believe it or not.

[HISATdotCOM]

Every track on this album - is rock Gold - one of the best Fivers I ever spent I can't count the number of times I've played individual tracks and or the entire album - Marc was music in human form

[Byrontheone]

Les Paul and Fender Bassman and Marshall Tubes. Possible a tube twin.

Good luck and love always. He sounds

like he's still with us. Like any genius artist.

[animal90sFreak5]

Just good,sadly really underated,good rock n roll right here!!!!!!!

[ooohcheese]

Underated?

Tha most " UNDERATED " UNDERSTATED comment ever .

Heh !

Cool , animal.

[CAR18MEN]

i will definitely

ROCK ON!!!

[blankgeneration100]

the silver plated poet.

[noahsdelight]

@blankgeneration100 yeh!

[blankgeneration100]

I'd say Visconti is partially responsible for the guitar sound.

[mancity4ever13]

I have this shirt WOOT! Thank you father. And it's complete vintage. From when the album came out in 72

[luvmycorso]

how did he get that guitar sound? it's on all his stuff, it's great

[HarleyCrass]

I ask myself the same thing. Vintage guitar, vintage amplifier, otherworldly godliness?

[DAVWAVE]

Listen to these backing vocals.

[enjoypot]

T Rex Kicks Ass!

[mike666nz]

@enjoypot -damn right and this song is funkily cool in my book as is the album and electric warrior

[MaceMn]

@mike666nz Slider & Electric Warrior are masterpieces.

[mike666nz]

@MaceMn -Totally-I agree with you there.My 14 yr old daughter is liking some of it too even.Got the CD of Electric Warrior and it was $29.95 and isnt even in a hard case-its sort of soft cardboard-expanded edition of some guff and imported.In NZ now if it isnt in stock in the stores, then its order it as I did as an import :O.I would rather Vinyl myself, but turntables are a right rip these days

[phailez]

@mike666nz Yeah I found a copy of The Slider and it was $45 which is way out of my budget for a cd.

[mike666nz]

@phailez :O shit thats a rip of!lmaoITS A RIP OFF.Is that in the US?

[phailez]

@mike666nz Na it's in New Zealand. Special import.

[mike666nz]

@phailez oh right- well thats sounds abt right but fuck they are a RIP OFF-back in the mid 80s it would have been around 29$.I wish I hadnt sold and at a huge loss, my record collection at the time as they would be excruciatingly valuable nowdays-I try not to think about it as it would ruin my day still-lmao.Only JB Hi Fi around Hamz-the wankhouse is shit- they dont have it- they cant and dont bother to "order" for customers do they?lol- what classy service

[phailez]

@mike666nz Yeah JB Hi Fi is the only place I can find half the cds I want and they seem to always be really expensive special imports or something like that.

[Promoagent]

@phailez Have you tried Amazon? They have a great range of CDs lots of Bolan too

[palindromDK]

@phailez have you tried cdwow.com ?

[jkwasere]

love it!
