  • trex, what an amazing band, love marc bolan and every song hes ever written! hes original and unique...one of my many favorites!

  • Marc's lyrics - he new what he ment by them, everyone doesnt have to write bubblegum lyrics. been listening to his music never get tired off it. A lot better than that shit today.

  • i bought this on vinyl today <3

  • Why do songs have to mean anything,if it sounds good,yhen go with it.

  • Main man is my fave Trex song

  • For those of you who never knew, Ringo Starr was the photographer for the cover photo.

  • @robbiedaug Another Bolan lie or being economical with the truth.

  • @hearditman I don't understand what you mean by "....a Bolan lie"? "...or being economical with the truth"?

  • @robbiedaug Well, dear Marc was prone to exaggeration and not always truthful. Ringo being the photographer here is one of them.

  • @hearditman What do you mean? Ringo Starr was the photographer for the cover. It's fact.

  • In my opinion, Marc Bolan was a musical genius, too bad his lyrics were pretty stupid in most cases.

  • @robbiedaug I was ready to post an angry response to your comment but instead I'll just say this: The way a word sounds is sometimes more important to the music than the actual meaning or poetic value of it. The way he combines music with how he sings certain lyrics sounds so polished and flawless, almost like it was pre-orchestrated in his brain, which you yourself called genius.

  • @shamwoww I like the lyrics of Mystic Lady a lot. Songs like The Slider's lyrics i would be ashamed to sing in front of people. They don't make much sense to me. Super cool song, though. Main Man is another song with odd lyrics. I love the song's melody and all, but those lyrics lol. Maybe i am not poetic enough to understand his lyrics , then again, maybe for some songs he just couldn't think of decent lyrics. I had his albums when he was acoustic and i thought the lyrics were an acid trip.

  • @robbiedaug you need to listen again,great lyrics...................

  • @gullsrus I have stated that i like the lyrics to Mystic Lady a lot. It's songs like, Main Man, and The Slider, that maybe you'd like to explain the meaning to. lol Now, that, i'd love to read much more than a message telling me to listen again.

  • 188 Likes and not a single dislike. Bravo. Bravo.

  • @DefyTheTyrantz

    I used to listen to T-Rex and Marc Bolan between Denver and Boulder City (at high speed). Loved their music and used to try to figure out how Bolan got such a soft sound out of his voice. Turns out, I guess, that he just had a soft voice. Anyway, it fit into the group and I sure was sorry when he was killed. With all public musical fok, we wonder what they'd have made if they'd lived... Lamar

  • I was one of the first Bolan fans in the club.in AUSTRALIA. a guy from Enderly Gardens in South Australia had all the bootlegs, Hey man can you contact me.

  • @seaeagles64 The guy's name was Gary Turner from Allenby Gardens SA. He vanished off the map many, many years ago. I wonder if he's still around. I spent a small fortune with him!!

  • @Grogster2 yes I'm sure thats his name..He had some great stuff. He sent me a list of stuff he had when I joined the fan club in early 70s , It was like Aladins Cave for me back then . Great memories. Snail mail, money orders, hope and pray.. he did come thru with the goods. gotta give him that.

  • the slider is one of the best rock albums of all time

  • T-Rex was one of my favorite bands of all time i had forgotten about them until my band did a cover of the song Chariot Choogle then i had startted an obsession and bought all there albums RIP Marc Bolan u were a god

  • i love alllll his songs.

  • Craziest Bass-line ever. Insane.

  • Think I first listened to The Slider about mid 1973. Marc Bolan is one of the few artists from that time that I can still listen to. I get as much enjoyment out of it now sober, as did after smoking a few joints of angel dust or dropping acid. I still find it uplifting where much of the rest makes me feel like coming down from the drugs. This, Pink Floyd before The Wall, GFR and their cover of Give Me Shelter, Jimi, all still good.

  • To all British and T-Rex fans: I'd like to apologize. First, for all the comments under this video being either aimed at or written by me. This is one of my favorite songs and it deserves better. I attempted to prove a stereo-type wrong but was instread pulled into an argument. Secondly, not ALL Americans are like this dick @mjw9363. There are some, but they usually reside in the middle of the country and in trailers with a big USA flag draped over it. Other than that, intelligence exists here.

  • @BrittanyMishele Why are you wasting your time responding to that cunt in the first place? You're lowering yourself to his level by devoting your time to even reading his ignorant hateful comments. You know there are plenty of decent people in the world, but unfortunately, the vast majority of morons seem to get drawn to the internet where they can be anonymous and say whatever shit they like because they know there's no chance of them getting the kind of reprisal they deserve. Just ignore 'em.

  • @pugilistofpower I know you're supposed to ignore them, and I honestly wasn't trying to argue. I was just trying to point out that his judgement of what a T-Rex fan is was seriously flawed and then I immediately got attacked and insulted. I'm done now though, as I see that he isn't someone who can hold a civil conversation.

  • @BrittanyMishele I understand. I get agitated too by some people on here, but that guy's arrogance, ignorance and malice make him even more unpleasant. Still it made me smile seeing him being outclassed by a girl probably much younger than him. When personal attacks start out of the blue it's a sure sign they ain't worth bothering about. Anyway, rock on Bolan!

  • @mjw9363 and another thing.. NONE of the bands you just mentioned are American. (THE Rush? Hahaha!!) See? You don't even know shit about the bands you like. Every comment you write is full of at least 2 contradictions. How can you be both "rebellious" and a "teeny bopper"? AMERICAN IDIOT. 

  • @mjw9363 PS: I love how angry you're getting about all this! Arguing with a girl probably half your age. Shows real maturity! It also shows that your an uneducated hillbilly that probably lives in Arkansas. I'll take England's faults over American trailer trash ANY day. As for your taste, it's exactly what I thought you'd like. You into Lynyrd Skynyrd too? I've listened to T-Rex for years. Not to be 'rebellious' but because I love the music. The same music JOHN LENNON liked. Is he wrong too?

  • @mjw9363 I love how you think you have me all figured out when just a few hours ago you thought I was a gay, British man. I think you should take a look at yourself. Only gay men like Britney Spears. But if you want to feel better about it then go ahead and tell yourself your watching it for the singing! It's funny you should mention education as well. I was a music major in college, so I think I know a thing or two about it. You, on the other hand, can't seem to put a decent sentence together.

  • this song is sooo awesome....i just love it so much. this man was so talented!!! and just beautiful. they just dont make them this like this anymore. RIP MARC!!!!!! your amazing and you will always be in my heart. i remember listening to him when i was really little. my brother was a hippie. what can i say....but man he had the best taste in musoic. i rocked out to this as a little kid. and was just fascinated when i seen the album slider and looking at the album cover. he was just so great..

  • The craziest bass ever.

  • i like bitching on the internet about stuff i dont care about! Give it a rest! This is good to me!

  • listen, just give it a rest and either enjoy it or shut your fucking mouth and listen to something you actually like, or just bitch on the internet that makes it you really cool!

  • He got in and got out and left a message in 3:15 seconds...

  • @tetsugiya91 I just bought it.....yes, the "album", not the cd!

  • @DHRC18 Pre-paid my order for The Slider yesterday. :)

  • @mjw9363 Fair enough. That's just your opinion. One of the best in mine.

  • @classicrockfan555 Because your a English Homosexual more than likely.......That Dude was NEVER even close to the popularity he had in the UK...he SUCKS!!!..had two good songs..I'll admit. Check out old t-rex when it was just him in the acoustic guitar and a Dude on Bongos...It is SOOO bad you can't even find video of it.....The worst "music" I have EVER heard.....

  • @mjw9363 I am English but I'm a girl (15). It's your opinion but I love it, acoustic or electric.

  • @classicrockfan555 I GUARANTEE you've never seen EARLY T-Rex......see if you can find ANY when it was just him and one other guy on the Bongos......PURE CRAP

  • @mjw9363 I've seen early T-Rex, which by the way is a band called Tyrannosaurus Rex with Steve Took (not some other guy), and I don't think it's pure crap. Also I am an American, straight, 21 year old female. It's true that he never reached the popularity he recieved in the UK but he sure isn't the only one, and it in no way means that he sucks. He was a brilliant poet and songwriter and if you don't get into that sort of thing, (TALENT), than that's probably why you wouldn't like it.

  • @BrittanyMishele anyone who listens to The Strokes is an embarrassment to REAL music lovers....night night

  • @mjw9363 And any grown man that listens to Evanescence and Britney Spears covers on YouTube is an embarrassment to humanity. No wonder you don't like T. Rex, it wasn't written for 10 year old girls. If you are the judge on what real music is than we are all in trouble.

  • @BrittanyMishele Only a immature teenie bopper would disparage the Evanescence performance I have on my channel...flat out. As for the Britney cover....She's a GOOD SINGER...if you noticed Child, I have ALL forms of music on my favorites UNLIKE YOU..I am a MUSICIAN...unlike YOU...I appriciate ALL forms of music...that is why, like the VAST VAST majority of Americans..I hear T-Rex as one of the WORST things I have ever heard....He had TWO hits in the USA out of scores of Albums....

  • @BrittanyMishele You TRIED to gloss over the massive amount of CLASSIC Rock on my Fav's....The Rush, Zeppelin, AC/DC....ya know??...REAL FRICKIN ROCK...I love people like you who "like" some band only to spite the 99% of people who don't...you don't follow the crowd..you're SO rebellious..there is a REASON why Zeppelin has sold over 250 million records...T-rex???..not so much. One is good..one ISN'T..but luckily for groups like them..they have people with BAD EARS to not hear how awful they are

  • @mjw9363 Oh yeah, and three attempts to come up with a reply and THAT'S what you settle on? I like the other two better.. where you don't believe that I'm 21.. or a female.. or American (that one's my fav). Obviously, you found out I was the real thing and deleted in shame but I actually take those as a huge compliments :) I Love British culture and music and I would have loved to have been born there. Unfortunately, I wasn't and I'm stuck here surrounded by rednecks like you :/

  • @BrittanyMishele Haha! I hear ya. No one ever believes I'm 19 because of my favorite music.. and I love it!! I saw on your facebook page that you went to visit his memorial in London! How was it?? Marc Bolan is my all time favorite artist!!!

  • @edengray7 AMAZING! It's kind of hard to find, but it's well worth the effort. There are pictures and beautiful mesages on the tree and fan board from people all over the world. And his statue is so life like! What was really captivating though was Golder's Green, the crematorium where he was laid to rest. I didn't really get a lot of pictures of it, but it's a really beautiful place to visit and remember him if you ever get the chance to go.

  • @BrittanyMishele What a child, I SWEAR..losers who think other countries are where it's at...My family lives in Wales...I was born in the UK.....I lived there as an adult for 6 years....IT SUCKS!!!!...why do you think they copy and emulate AMERICAN music..from Rap to Rock??!!!...It's dank, wet, deforested, gloomy, High taxed, SOCIALIST country with a MONARCH in the 21st century. I WISH you were there NOW..get off the AMERICAN You Tube and use the UK Version...there isn't one.. IDIOT

  • @mjw9363 

  • this album just gets better an better after each song awsome marc was a absolute one off they dont make em like him anymore. baby baby baba what a song

  • The drum sounds on this track are sublime.

  • #1..... No One makes Music like this Anymore..... No One Comes up with such Poetic Lyrics. Most today are written by other OFFICE Type People . TryN to make $.... the Music isn't Genuine... Bolan is One of those GONE Forever.... BUMMER ...

  • @jacquesL0711 i like bolan, his voice is so druggy, and it makes any song he sings sound good.

  • glistening mystical production by t. visconti on this one

  • 2010 STILL HOT N.Z.

  • Best ever pic of Bolan. Rock on sweet Marc!! x

  • MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this album too, especially Mystic Lady. It's so emotional, sad and dis-jointed, perfect teenage comfort! I discovered Marc when I was 12 and found out that he was dead the same day. He was the first dead person I had any feeling for as nobody had died that I knew. I guess him being other worldly fascinates me. And the music. Some songs I adore and some I can not stand but I will always LOVE this album

  • @MrKynan

    this is gonna sound really crazy, but my story is, almost verbatim, your exact story. my dad gave me "The Slider" when I was 12. He told me how Marc had died in a car accident and it was strangely fascinating. I just sat and listened to this record many times, staring at the grainy black and white photo of this unknown man in a top hat that I truly grew to love. This record is definitely one of my all time.

  • @MrKynan 

  • god i ...king love this ALBUM SO MUCH AM SO GLAD IT IS ON HERE PEACE TO ALL THE MYSTIC PEOPLE OUT THERE ANGEL

  • I bought this vinilo album in 1972 in Lima, Perú after I heard Lady and Metal Guru, nobody at home understood what I did ....I knew I was right. it´s my major treasure now..

  • lovely song, and nice feel to it :)

  • This song is so pleasant. It just makes me 1:20 am! Hahaha. Marc for every hour of the day.

  • "The Slider" is one of T.Rex best albums, if not even the best whatsoever!!!!

    The songs are incredible, but additionally there is this melancholic, magic sound, that makes the album so distinctive

  • The chorus in this song is 'cream of the crop'. The way it contrasts with the verse...the way it blossoms out of the verse is so moving.

  • He ain't no square with his corkscrew hair. He drives a rolls royce cause it's good for his voice.

  • muy buen tema amigo

  • Everytime I listen to The Slider I think the song I am listening to is my favourite T Rex song until I listen to the next song.

    What an album....top 5 of all time.

  • @LTandDS I am the slider, do you agree?

  • @LTandDS LOL .. well said.

  • He (Bolan) and Tony Visconte were quite the team.Great song writing

  • sorry, this song is still doin it!mmmmmmmm

  • Love this tune

  • Awesome!

  • I love you Steve, thanks for leading me to this song......

  • catchy as dayslong....for rhyming 'dungarees' and 'knees' alone, all his sins are forgiven him

  • Gotta thank you again, kratoslavandsanchez.

  • awesome song!!!!!!!

  • :) :D

  • I get it ,but Paw Paw says why didnt he own a Mountain Cur Dog. No fear no fright. I guess a Redneck way of looking a things.

  • Some people just don't 'get it'

  • The lovers in your life are few.
