T - Rex - The Slider

[churchiesmum]

Such a shame that he died sooo young : (

[SunshineLuvsmusic]

Marc is like a big Ball of LOVE!!! I love listening to him! My heart SIGHS...

[Tangaloa1]

@kingkahoj...now,now little one calm down and take a chill pill, read the post...Bolan was way before Slash with the hair, Gibson guitar, top hat and the riffs. May I remind you Bolan's music was different and unique for his time, now fast forward and you'll find Slash is buried in a world full of shredmeisters. Thats why Bolan stands out. Now run along and eat your weetbix mate.

[LennonMoonPlant]

You don't need good lyrics when the style that you execute them is as cool as the way Bolan does.

[Grogster2]

@LennonMoonPlant Not good lyrics?? What planet are you on? Marc was the Salvador Dali of rock 'n roll!!

[LennonMoonPlant]

@Grogster2 Oh, I was reading coments from a while ago about how bad his lyrics are. Decided to put my piece in.

[Ruth152TZ]

NO slash is an fn copycat junior..........

[Ruth152TZ]

THIS WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I BOUGHT....I LOVE N MISS U SOOO MARC...

[loveme400]

Th 70s rocked none of this brittany shit .. Howzer

[TheTangaloa]

Slash is Bolan incarnated...hair, top hat, gipson guitar, outfit and dark aweson riffs........or and the top fad was in back in the 70s eg noddy of slade, roy wood of wizard and hendrix r some who wore top hats.

[cretan982]

Cept under his top hat Bolan was beautiful.

[kingcahoj]

@TheTangaloa

Shut up, you panty waste. Comparing Slash to Bolan is like comparing the star of your high school basketball team to Michael Jordan.

[AOFarenheit]

This is were the hat fad all started...

[TheRoy1952]

Went to England in early '70s after Mambo Sun and was blown away by the English music scene and when Slider came out, it was total nirvana across the entire country!

[wistoncap]

This shit makes my big toe jum up in my boot!!

[MadJohnEscapes]

@wistoncap

indeed, little richard

[djharp51]

Bit of fuzz, bit of funk and lots of 'tude from this dude. Players said whether he was in a studio or on a stage, he was the same--giving himself totally to the music, but playing up the posturing just the same.

[Fortwentt]

Total.

[billybob6087]

@jmerrife, I don't know. This album come out when I was 12. If it came out in '04 I'd be 19 instead of 51

[phillipdrummond]

this sounds remarkably like "jeepster."

[noahsdelight]

This song will kick ass all the way into 2012.

[tromachick]

yay! great song! but i must say, now i see why some people disable the comment feature....just shut up & listen or LEAVE people. way to ruin an awesome song. sheesh.

[billybob6087]

T-Rex---The Slider.......1972

[jmerrife]

@billybob6087 Right... wonder why he listed it "2004"?

I just laughed when I saw that.

[reverendjimj]

yo bassimmage what are you deaf or something, the line where he says I have always grown my own before, I don't think he's talking about oregano , and the sliding thing is what whatever he was doing its when it kicks in , just my opinion doesn't mean squat.......the rev

[bassimmage]

Nah, I don't think it's about Drugs. Unless someone can point out to me the line that indicates Drugs. Thank you. Maybe newkillergenius can come up with an answer. You seem to be on the ball.

[the1truebeliever]

Marc is in my heart.

[bassimmage]

I thiink all your responses sucked. Just my opinion! Thanks for nothing you nit-wits! lol

[newkillergenius]

@bassimmage

clcs13's response was correct. You sir, though, are fine.

[hilvldruid]

LOVE.



[bassimmage]

What exactly does he mean when he says "I slide"? Give me a shout at ... Pathedj54@verizon.net

[clcs13]

@bassimmage drugs



[sarabower1]

@bassimmage what do you think it means

[experienceadvertisin]

I slide....

[mitchyfender]

Love This T-Rex song it came out when I was twelve (1972) love it ever since.....

[MsFrances76]

love this song. it has such an amazing groove. he was so sexy!!!!!! luv him. i could listen to this song all day.

[marspowerhaus]

Now who can do this nowadays? This song oozes sex appeal, rock appeal. It is a song that epitomises what rock n roll is all about! Bolan at his peak here in 1972, still no hall of fame? Astounding.

[reverendjimj]

burger king has little burgers called sliders, I dunk em in 40 weight motor oil ;um um um. welcome to burger god have it yahweh help yourself to salad bar mitvah.

[noahsdelight]

This song kicks all the way in 2011!...........Cheers Kratoslavandsanchez...........­...N.Z

[judygalz]

A song I have always enjoyed......more and more

[geminigrl95]

this song has an amazing groove to it... love itt! :)

[TheKelseyFace]

I like this song man(:

[gianga23]

Freakin' great guys.

"And when I'm sad I slide" - Gets even better because I skate.

T-Rex rocks.

[eLdiAbLoCo]

sweet jesus, its the 24th time i hear this, i cant stop... yay :D

[BloodyRose3000]

o_0, they're still releasing music??! I didn't know that.

[jmerrife]

@BloodyRose3000 No, this came out in '72. I dunno why its listed as 2004. Besides, he died in '77.

[germs069]

no bueno

[hilvldruid]

Beautiful allways.

[baizhomart]

Впервые услышал в 1973! Заторчал! И до сих пор торчу! Чу-чу-чу!

[1320nhra]

iI miss blasting down the highway in my 69 roadrunner listening to this music!

[loftyskies123]

 SEXY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[treborif]

The best drum intro ever, forever. Even the Mighty Bonham's When the Levee Breaks pales into insignificance. Well, you know what I mean . . . .

[RoCk4LiFe90]

@treborif ok I really like T Rex but the drum intro is not better than when the levee breaks lol c'mon man

[treborif]

@RoCk4LiFe90 opinions are like assholes bud - everybody's got one . . . .

[RoCk4LiFe90]

@treborif I know I just exercised mine

[treborif]

@RoCk4LiFe90 MY MAN!!

[treborif]

@RoCk4LiFe90 I'm just about to!

[RoCk4LiFe90]

@treborif haha we can at least agree that T. Rex fuc*in rocks

[DamonAlbarnFan]

Not Cashimir it's Kashmir .

[superpookie420]

Kissed a car before.. my friend! : )

[MrCandyflip]

do i hear right? is he singing " ...I never kissed a cock before" ?XDDDD

[dthtoneocons1]

AND DAN BAIRD LOOKED THE SAME WAY YET I WAS THINKING I'VE SEEN THAT LOOK LONG AGO..... BINGO!!!! T REX! WE ALL MISS YOUR VERSION MUCH MR. MATC BOLAN RIP TO ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!

[dthtoneocons1]

I WAS WATCHING A VID BY THE GEORGIA SATELLITES (KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF)

[LT9856]

Certain parts of this tune remind me a little of Led Zep/Casmir

[SunnyDays951]

Just try and find a better tune. I dare you.

[hearditman]

@SunnyDays951 I give up, you win!

[jl1100]

heard a cover of this at a David Hull concert, great song

[vn0daydream]

T.REX guys, simply T.REX <3

[noahsdelight]

surfmcgooler,got that rght! it,s gona kick ass for a long time to come. Classic song.Rock on T REX2011.

[classicrockfan555]

What I find funny about this album, if I leave it playing when I go to sleep, I get through the whole thing and I'm more awake than ever. If I play any other album by a different artist I'm asleep after about 4 tracks.

[lennyscool]

another timeless classic that rocks my heart, from the amazing man himself R.I.P. MARC always thinking of you.

[cheezew1zz]

that intro is freakin epic!

[oneartist9]

Marc's best album ever!

[Cloughorr]

Is this where SLASH got his look???

[ConformistJoe]

@Cloughorr he couldnt pull it off aswell as our Marc<3

[tttomt]

@Cloughorr I think Lenny Kravitz was channeling Marc Bolan in the 'Let Love rule' video.

[matbastrd]

@Cloughorr What do ya think? ............ all the rock is recycled since about 30 years ago and the 80"s we all want to forget

[thenoiboi]

@Cloughorr no!

[hamslice15164]

@Cloughorr Buick Mackane is on The Spaghetti Incident.

[Horrayformusic]

I looooooooooooovvvvvvvve this song.

[SITITEATER]

@Horrayformusic When I was young, this was my favourite group. had their poster on the wll 3 x 2 m. Also today, Marc is is one of my favourite.

[IronicallyVague]

I had an epiphany when I first heard this LP

[kiararei]

@IronicallyVague didnt we all

[TinaSternchen17]

I love his voice !! *o*

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

The tightest drums ever.

[dunsta5]

damn!!!!!!!!  sssshhhhhhhh! keep me dancing all morning

[1CRAZYGUY3]

only 100,000+ views!!!,instead of watching rebecca blacks friday and talking shit about it people should hear this!

[noahsdelight]

So true surfmcgoogler,2011 The Slider Rocks! Yeh. R.I.P.MARC BOLAN.

[spotsart]

As I wake myself up to sounds of ol' T-Rex.... Ahh, and Who's Next.....

[jenkoEire]

@spotsart whos next as in the album? ;)

[ItGirl666]

T-Rex is one of those bands I LOVE, that I forget about for awhile, and when I rediscover them again, they make me wonder how I lived without their glam, sexy, slow, dirty grooves =) Mark Bolan is one of rocks underrated geniuses.

[demonhoopa]

@ItGirl666 Yes yes yes. Also Sweet.

[hearditman]

@demonhoopa Sweet? Piss off..

[demonhoopa]

@hearditman LOL. Another internet tough guy. What courage.

[hearditman]

@demonhoopa I am not being tough, I am merely asking you to re-think your ridiculous comment about comparing the wonderful T.Rex with The Sweet. Now go take yourself somewhere and think it over.....in a nice way!

[demonhoopa]

@hearditman That my friend is an opinion and a subjective one at best.

I'll take Sweet over "wonderful T Rex" every day of the week and twice on Sunday. But the difference between us is that because you disagree with me, I don't feel your opinion is "ridiculous" or that you need to "piss off". That's because I'm an actual grown up who is aquainted with some intellectual humility.

My sympathies.

[hearditman]

@demonhoopa You sound like Uriah Heep!

[demonhoopa]

@hearditman Intellectual humility (believing you're NOT always the smartest person in the room and that your opinion is NOT fact) is not the same as humility, false or otherwise.

However, I have to respect your subtle "Dickensian" insult. It's a far cry from "piss off" at least. :P

[hearditman]

@demonhoopa I seized upon a word (humility) and ran with it! I do not take myself or my comments on you toob too seriously. Did you spell ineffectual wrong?

[Frostvision1]

antifrostbern googelbar liebt den song und mehr vom rex t

[ClassicRockGrl247]

love love love this song

[bonzelite]

this is ahead of its time and sounds fresh as ever today; is a weird as fuck song too

[experienceads]

Time to Rock out with some T. Rex and get more work done!!

[surfmcgoogler]

This song kicked ass all the way into 2011.

[TheUnpopularKid]

@surfmcgoogler I know right? :D

[MrZombeh]

@surfmcgoogler I must correct you, fine sir. Kicked implies that it has stopped, which as rock scientists will tell you, is not possible.

[Craiggardd]

@surfmcgoogler Don't you mean this song continues to kick ass in 2011 :)

[GravityBoy72]

I had Electric Warrior, Slider and Tanx when I was young.

Electric Warrior is 100% a great classis album - still love it.

Slider just didn't do it for me (a few good tracks still) and Tanx was worse.

Lyrics he got away with and were cosmic on EW just didn't work for me anyway on this album.

[noahsdelight]

Down loaded Sweet As.

[TheJunito65]

Monster hook!

Get's me every listen!

[shinKopinKo]

Ah, Bolan...you made my life better <3

[cherokeewarrior1]

heehee this is good x

[messageofthemaker]

You all should check out Gavin Friday's cover of this song. He does an excellent psychedelic cover of it!!

[precioushuggs]

just chilllin with a J and booze!

[noahsdelight]

Any 1 got this on c.d luv yas N.Z.

[ellycat]

Where's 'Lady' on this Slider playlist?

[kf4wto]

Marc Bolan left us way to early... Never let your drunk girlfriend drive your Mini.

[stanibol]

@kf4wto If you are correct with your allegation of her having been intoxicated, I reckon Gloria would not have slept well since that fatal day. There is only one thing more devastating that losing Marc Bolan, and that is being guilty of killing Marc Bolan.

[kf4wto]

@stanibol

Bolan died on 16 September 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday.[5][6] He was a passenger in a purple Mini 1275GT driven by Gloria Jones as they headed home from Mortons drinking club in Berkeley Square. Jones lost control of the car and it struck a sycamore tree after failing to negotiate a small humpback bridge near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London.[5] Bolan died instantly, while Jones suffered a broken arm and broken jaw and spent time in hospital;

[kf4wto]

@kf4wto

she did not learn of Bolan's death until the day of his funeral. Bolan's home, which was less than a mile away at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen, was quickly looted. Fans quickly turned the site of the crash into a shrine and in 2007 the site was officially recognised as Bolan's Rock Shrine.

[stanibol]

@kf4wto Thanks, I had read as much on Wikipedia, tho' where does it say that Jones was intoxicated?

[kf4wto]

@stanibol Google findadeath Deceased/b/marc%20bolan/Marc_B­olan

"After much merriment" means after many drinks!

[stanibol]

@kf4wto Your info stems from a fan site or official site? A breathalyzer testing on Jones would have put paid to any guess-work on the matter of Jones' intoxification. Good company, humour or music provide merriment, I don't derive my highs from alcohol.

[noahsdelight]

hullolads,so True!

[007ofcuteness]

this is probably my favorite song ever!

[hearditman]

Fresh as fuck.....

[salsabil44]

Marc Bolan was so ahead of his time not to be properly appreciated...

[uzidabach]

they should be considered as one of the best rock bands ever

i think they r batter than Zeppelin and other bands that riched the rock n roll hall of fame

[TheDazedDude101]

@uzidabach srry b but zepplin is better learn your rock history its like saying jonasbrothers are better than rollingstones

[uzidabach]

@TheDazedDude101

music is a matter of taste

not much of a zepplin fan

prefer oasis or r.e.m

:)

[Shaguar66]

@TheDazedDude101 in my opinion too  T.Rex is better than led zeppelin ^^

what do you mean with learn rock history? do we have to believe that zeppelin is better, because rock history said it?

[TheDazedDude101]

@Shaguar66 its true not to start the fight but you know vh1 ledzepplin is ment to be the king of classic rock but i really dont care if you think trex is better becouse i like trex :)

[Shaguar66]

@TheDazedDude101

:D that's the nicest discussion i had on youtube since months! really! that's really a nice alternation, when you hear a good argument^^

god bless you dazeddude101 and have a nice day

[TheDazedDude101]

[88bobbibrown]

sooooooooooooooooooooooo right you are <3

[dewmedan1]

I grew up the youngest of 9 children, and was greatly influenced by my 12 yrs older brother. T. Rex was one of my favorites before I was able to make my own album buying decisions. I reecomend anything off from this album, or Electric Warrior. You might also want to listen to Ten Years After, and Traffic.

[drsol66]

@dewmedan1 I was the youngest too,so I can so relate..Rock On!!!!!!

[mrsky1962]

Still sounds as good as it did in 1972 when I bought it.

Great post.

[noahsdelight]

2010 ,Still Hot! N.Z.,Thankyou, Kratoslavandsanchez. Kiaora.Rock On.

[bolanbabe]

MY MAN...................  XXXXXX

[ANGELSVEN]

[srch412]

[leaningright252]

"ive always grown my own before......all schools are strange.........Wow.

[pb9uk1]

[CrashmagnetMusic]

Man your description is pissing me off, this ALBUM came out in the early 70's your description says 2004, damn noob

[George665511]

wow that song is beast!!! lol

[amandaclaire0011]

great qualiyty love this song!

[mikhailognen]

this song is so fucking hot

[buddaeguy]

best song to kick back & smoke a joint to.

[MasterofGuitarsolos]

2004? Im pretty sure this was sometime in the 70's. Bolan was dead by 2004, R.I.P.

[noahsdelight]

ive hav neva kissed acar b4, Ford Zepher! I slide,watch me now i,m gonna slide.Awesome 2010.N.Z.

[timmhg]

This is song!!!!!! I listen this song three times in all my life, last time on radio 1975, Thanks! Thanks!

Cooooooooooooooooool!

[flower217]

I am not a groupie by any means. I'm most definately a fan - this is my favourite song of all time. Of any band. And my band "selection" is of the elite. His poster is framed in top hour in my home. Mick Jagger is sooo on top of my list but nothing he does surpasses this.

[jkoff76]

This song is in my DNA, Folks.

[lolingsaraee]

i remember as a young kid looking up on the wall at the music section in woolworths thinking i must have that lp . the cover facinated me and that was the start of it for me with t,rex for me.remember it like it was yesterday. im so thankfull i grew up with this music.. hi to you like minded people

[balls86ful]

T-REX is by far the most underated band. they have more talent than most know what to do with

[laalias]

this is the CD i keep in my car for every road trip and mental health emergency.

[stanibol]

@laalias Hell, I don't think I can improve on your comment. ROTFL

[Benannie888]

@laalias Nice  ;-) xxx

[boogiepop14mc]

I've always liked this album better than Electric Warrior. I find it to be both darker and grittier.

[Grizzlyuxxx]

Happy birthday The Slider!!!

[PenjiProductions]

Oh yeah and when I am sad I slide too..Oh yeah I slideeeeeeeeeeee

[billybigboy06]

bolan rocks marc is a gift from god
