[TroyBlackford]

WHAT? Marc Bolan was asked what a metal guru was in an interview, and he said 'It's a car man, its a CAR!' You're all nuts!

[mymusic777ify]

@ScandinavianSingers different opinions out there.the biography doesn't say.with poetry it's hard to say.some believe it's not about anything in particular , about a car who will bring him anywhere he wants,about a drink,about a God or gods that will bring him something good,or about love that he is hoping for.I'd like to think it's about a part inside Marc that is waiting and longing for something real and genuine.

[ScandinavianSingers]

@mymusic777ify Hi, I actually found the answer here

wikipedia . org / wiki / Metal_Guru

It's about his personal vision of a god (creator of the

universe), Marc didn't believe in any specific "normal"

religion, more in a "cosmic" god. "Has it been like a

silver-studded sabre-tooth dream?" from the lyric probably

means that he asks this god "has life on earth and maybe

on other planets in cosmos developed like you thought/

dreamed ?"

[devilduck10]

hahaha bad ass fucking song!! What does his shirt say?? Its got something to do with cocaine...

[3007jae]

@devilduck10"his shirt says, cocaine it is the real fucking coke.

[InCatlandWithJane]

@3007jae that is a funny t shirt. and considering that when Coca Cola first came out - it actually did have cocaine in it - so - there is some truth to that shirt.

[81Mace81]

Now go and listen to "The Smiths - Panic" which I've only just found out was lovingly inspired by this :-)

[boggedmaffus]

@81Mace81 I'd just read that, and it's only when I listened back to this I noticed! It's pretty obvious when you know...

[MrBilly432]

Metal Guru, good up load, like the sound of the original like you did, good work.

[Grogster2]

Bolan's the king......he's the best there was (or ever will be!)

Rock!

[Rifuar1]

[Nakonbi]

Omg its charlie sheen



[cretan982]

...silver-studded sabre-tooth dream

...

...

Love it. Bolan songs are like nothing else before or after. That's why his music will rock forever.

[sinbartar]

That is real music !

[northernraider]

Metal guru is it you.

[KaleeCali]

Thanking my parents for listening to T-Rex as I grew up.

[boo4bettz4eva]

the most i listen to 70s and 80s the more i hate the new music! its just shocking compared to this!

xoxo

[kanumbra]

I'm not even joking. This song, is something of an epiphany to me. I've heard this before, years and years ago. But I'm stumbling on it now by accident. So I'm getting some crazy nostalgic feeling now. And I think I'm actually in love. This is fucking brilliant.

[77Sinner]

@kanumbra Bahah, I need to meet your dealer.

[fokker313]

@kanumbra another master taken way too soon, God must be having a slammin' great time with all the greats up in the clouds

[blksabbath65]

May I recommend the book 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero. The author is a big fan of this track.

[cvdman]

My all time fav T Rex track

[mymusic777ify]

Marc was a genious,he knew exactly was he was doing,somehow he must have known deep down inside that he would leave a never-ending legacy and be loved,missed and get nwe fans for centuries to come! noone can ever take his place in music or in our hearts!!!

@blackandtanful

i totally agree with you! :))

[9sunskungfu]

the guy on the left,the drummer,is the only one thats alive, the rest died tragically/before their time,real sad. The best T rex song in my opinion.

[tiborvivi]

i love this song. if i have to leave earth for another planet this song would be on my list as one of them.

[Superawesomeaccount1]

Best song, in the whole world. Period.

[IndianaParkWars]

amazing

[wulliemcl]

listen to marc as toby tyler

true superstar

[XB14D34X]

Johnny Marr is a big fan of these guys.

[30078597]

marc bolan rocked!! what a class rock song

[fazeunclegersh]

only think about listening to this in my au pair's car, backseat in the booster chair, early 90s, (seatbelt? of course!) powerful vibes, t rex is all we listened to

[Jpeg13759]

When i was about 10 (?), 40 years ago, this was the very first LP i ever baught...the black one with T-Rex in Gold ;-) LOVED it, still LOVE it :-)

greetz

[hearditman]

I love this slice of punk rock in 1972. Yeah, Bolan was ahead of the times.

[GarnetBloodstone13]

@hearditman hate to burst ya bubble...It's Glam not Punk

[hearditman]

@GarnetBloodstone13 Steady on there Sherlock.......I was making the point that in this song you can see/hear the seeds of Punk!

[GarnetBloodstone13]

@hearditman again bubble shall be burst Punk was made to make money just like nowadays pop whereas Bolan says himself that even though he has no religion this song is about god

[hearditman]

@GarnetBloodstone13 Omg, have you been reading the Blue Peter Book on Pop? R U twelve?

[GarnetBloodstone13]

@hearditman I'm actually 17 and "the what book of what-now"....I know this coz when my dad starts drinking he gets nostalgic...music blasted and internet surfed hence how i know it

[bruntrumble]

@GarnetBloodstone13

British punk ("The Great Rock and Roll Swindle") may have been contrived in the way you suggest but making vast sums of loot was never a realistic prospect for the Circle Jerks or the NY Dolls.

[bruntrumble]

@hearditman

The British didn't have the first clue about punk rock until they saw the Dolls and the Ramones. The 'seeds of punk rock' as you say were sown by AMERICAN bands.

[hearditman]

@bruntrumble Link Wray and the Sonics ???? well you may as well say The Beatles and The Stones. Didn't Link Wray invent heavy Metal as well? NY Dolls were seen as an extension of glam but more sleazy/trashy. I'll give you The stooges. Please remember I am commenting on a T.Rex channel to T.Rex people, I'm bigging up Bolan to other fans. I did not say he invented punk Rock and would'nt. Punk Rock circa 1976/77 was very Brittish and they took their influences from Brittish bands a lot of the time

[classicrockfan555]

@hearditman Yeah, he was ahead wasn't he? Should be here now.

[boogieelaine]

@hearditman he sure was the best 

[monskibabe]

@hearditman this wasnt punk wtf x

[hearditman]

@monskibabe Take a long walk off a short Pier, mate, you're missing the point.

[bruntrumble]

@hearditman

Punk rock? LOL!

[hearditman]

@bruntrumble Why, who doyouthink the precursors of punk where

[bruntrumble]

@hearditman

Oh the NY Dolls, the Stooges, Link Wray, the Sonics... AMERICAN delinquent rock and roll.

[blagger56]

@hearditman This was about five years before punk rock crashed the music scene- this is what was referred to as glam rock, and Bolan was the king. Nuff said.

[thexr2]

shut up geoff

T rex is racist... Metal Guru is a Jew XD

[flanneryged]

@Nascarfan880 Marc Bolan "was" a Jew.

[EdibleViolas0]

Marc was Jewish...

[margatelad]

@EdibleViolas0 WAS HE FECK YOU DONT KNOW A RATS ARSE ABOUT THE MAN. SO SHUT THE FECK UP YOU PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EdibleViolas0]

@margatelad Look it up...and invest in a nice spell checker...or at the very least proof read your comments I needed to use a retard translator to help me understand the abstract version of English you are speaking...

[margatelad]

@EdibleViolas0 Just go back too letting your sister suck your cock, it seems to me thats all you are good at doing.You fecking pile of dog shite.IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS. i want to meet you face/face. give me time/place I WILL BE THERE.YOU WANKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EdibleViolas0]

@margatelad Lol I don't have sister or a cock but I find your anger amusing... Come to SLC my dear child I will be here laughing at you...just like I am now... And as a note you have to be one of my favorite people to troll...its so much better when you get all angry of something stupid hahahahahahaha

[crisscrash120]

mmmm panic the smiths, is the same

[ellycat]

@crisscrash120 Ha ha, Morrissey and Marr took the riff from it purposely. I've just been talking about it with someone else. Hang the DJ, hang the dj, hang the dj....

[redhyper1]

Damn great song this! Im turning this up! :D

[zephir332]

t.rex & marc bolan= best of the best:))

[ellycat]

Panic by The Smiths, anyone?

[hearditman]

@ellycat It was intentional, you muppet!

[ellycat]

@hearditman Duhhh, I know it was..

[hearditman]

@ellycat Duh, then why did you question it?

[ellycat]

@hearditman Because not everyone like you is a musical know-it-all.

[hearditman]

@ellycat Merry Xmas.

[ellycat]

@hearditman Same to you, my friend and all the best for 2011..

[collyp06]

This rocks!!

[Dibbid]

medagadu, izechu

[Guhfugyamum]

with a name like metal guru, i was expecting something more, i dunno, metal, this song disappointed me greatly...

[chavedappelle]

@Guhfugyamum Boo hoo.

[Johnnystrychnine]

@Guhfugyamum What were you expecting on unfounded assumptions? T-Rex. M Bolan was ahead of it's time.

[Guhfugyamum]

@Johnnystrychnine

im not talking shit on this or anything, im just saying that i was hoping for something much heavier

[hearditman]

@Guhfugyamum Just you keep reading your Harry Potter books and the rest of us will listen to music. Now do one. IYKWIM.......

[Snaggletooth02]

R.I.P Marc Bolan

[neunstein]

Good song!

[MegaMumbles]

Long live T. Rex. Love Bolan. Nice Cocaine shirt by the way XD

[DukeROBRTS]

This is my all-time favourite 'play it on my headstone' song. I just love Trex and these 70s glam songs.

[TDJCCSGC]

This is just about the first rock and roll song I ever heard that made me realise just how great rock and roll could be.

It frightened me, how good it could be, and I ran away...

[hearditman]

@TDJCCSGC Did you ever come back?

[taxfundi]

Man, summer nights, Saturday nights at the clubs, dancing until 3.00am then heading off home to buy the Sunday Times in Hillbrow, Jhb then to sleep - the seventies were just the greatest...will never forget ..they were good times to be young and free...pavement cafes still sleepily open......wow.

[ockyfrank]

Metal Guru - woow i'm 16 again ;-)

[AddyHalo]

what a tune!

[imbusy64]

one of the greatist songs of all time

[mommyimadeapoopy]

i checked this out because johnny marr mentioned in a interview that it was a big influence,and i can definitely hear it. good stuff!

[jennTheManc]

iloveyou soo much :)

[rockinrex]

just before the song fades away at the end, I can hear Marc talking,sounds like he's saying "once more"

[WolkieNL]

How could the music industry got from this to the todays crap :O???

[Vampirex14]

@WolkieNL I agree with you so much what the hell happened!

[Italystonesfan]

Always loved this band. One of first recors I bought was Electrical Warrior : then i followed them up to Zinc Alloy. I think Marc has been quite an underated songwriter. He was very good at penning pop-rock song and his voice was brilliant. One of the best and seminal artists in the 70's . It's a pity he failed becoming big in the USA, this would have changed everything

[hearditman]

@Italystonesfan I agree totally. If he'd made it in the states it would have changed everything. Although I believe he has cult status, certainly in New York, in the US of A

and that is bigging him up in the rest of the world.......sorta.

[chrissie2007uk]

We sing this at the Villa in tribute to big John Carew! Johnnie Carew is it you!

[MrRocktilludrop]

fuckin class

[Kallytom]

fucking quality tune!!!

[ParanoiderBuchfink]

It sounds like "Panic" by The Smiths ;-D

(I know that "Metal Guru" is much older)

[hearditman]

@ParanoiderBuchfink It was intentional. Morrisey kinda liked T.Rex as did J. Marr.

[theefoolonthehill]

i love his voice

[jennTheManc]

@theefoolonthehill his voice makes me feel all young and happy :)

[bettler64]

jaaaaaaaaa...guter alter 70er Rock..oh wie ihn vermisse....das war und ist musik von allerfeinsten!!!!
