[Evilrose0611]

i think i like this version better simply because the cruxshadows do i style of music i am inlove with

[Kitten406]

i listen to this song all the time when i get ready for a gothic themed thing from school to the mall to a dance to a club xD

[Sundermize]

i really dont like this cover. the singers voice doesnt change tone like marc's. i mean thats ok if you do it with your own things i guess. but what made T.Rex so good was that his voice was pretty much magical making his music what it was and still is. magical.

[mreman239]

@Sundermize The Cruxshadows' style of music calls for a lack of vocal tonality. Most (if not all) Gothic bands have this in common.

[Canthro]

Echoes and Artifacts was also released as Intercontinental Drift.

also the CD is not all cover songs.

[666PhAnTaSiA666]

I prefer this version. You can actually dance to this version, I think the original is a little too slow.

[VeniouseVostok]

I actually like this version better

[goriddle]

[Vogelbein75]

[jordlvzmikey]

@Vogelbein75 u on drugs??

[Drainedofessence]

This is a great twist of the song.

[WINTERBORN6]

where is this album from? i do not see it listed on Cruxshadows website and have been unable to find this song but it is excellent! the closest I have found vocal and musical is by sapphire rebellion?

[Charler990]

@WINTERBORN6 Its from their album Echoes and Artificacts which is a compilation of covers of songs from other bands.

[mreman239]

@WINTERBORN6 Echoes and Artifacts was released in 2001 from Dancing Ferret Discs, is not a compilation album- but a full-length studio album by the Cruxshadows which only contains a 2:11 ratio of cover songs.

For those of you who say this version is not as good as T.Rex's version is a matter of opinion. Rogue had created it to fit his style of musicianship and pays homage to the late, great glam band T. Rex.

Tim Curry (Founding Member of CXS) Has a new band! Called Sapphire Rebellion

[listat18]

[iidynamicsii]

im sorry but they jus ruined a perfectly good song

[JarrodCook93]

I would never have even known that T-rex made this song if they hadnt covered it.

[NessaBaby5555]

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking everywhere for their version. :)

<3 it!

[AttorneyGeneralFox]

This version is awesome! Fuck the original. 5 stars!

[jordlvzmikey]

@AttorneyGeneralFox eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fuk da original?????? this version is pathetic!

[johno777uk]

this is crap where the fuck is the king who sang it

[qvrnc565]

marc bolan was a genius, and an underrated king. but im glad that a couple of bands remember him.

[anthrocryptid]

i love this song and rogue sings it wonderfully

[denaced]

sorry this version not in same league as bolans original

[qvrnc565]

they are too different to compare. besides the lyrics, they have nothing in common. im not saying this version is bad or anything, but i dont think you should compare the two.

[PUKANAFACE]

meh.. the original is better.. this version isnt how the song is meant to sound..

[VaughnMichael]

lol it's a t-rex song but I do like the way it is here much better I can't lie.

[IoEstasCedonta]

This song is not by the cruxshadows. Jesus Christ.

[Charler990]

Yes it is. it's from their album Echoes and Artifacts.

[MistressElizaBathory]

@Charler990 IT is not written by them, but performed, yes...

[jordlvzmikey]

@WINTERBORN6 Marc Bolan wrote and performed the original version its a ballad and so much better

[jordlvzmikey]

@Charler990 No its not its MARC BOLAN an he did it so much better

[MidniteMover]

This IS a Cruxshadows song. It's a cover version of the T.Rex original. In my opinion, this version is superior.

[qvrnc565]

the cruxshadows did not write the words, and if you read this songs lyrics you might be impressed with the interpretive metaphores. but yeah this version is soo different that i feel like it is almost a different song entirely.

[WINTERBORN6]

@IoEstasCedonta THANKYOU!!! i SWEAR looking all over to find this song by this group and yet its nonexistent the actual song and vocal is by sapphire rebellion aand tim curry is vocal.

[jordlvzmikey]

@WINTERBORN6 This song IS all over by the writer of it Marc Bolan and T-rex
