It's funny how some guitarists think Bolan wasn't that great of a guitarist. All the guys who we forever here people brag about Eddie Van Halen, Clapton, Vai etc...not one of 'em have I ever heard play a little guitar song like this that actually sounds magical. They all sound normal to me...Bolan is like the only guy who I've ever heard that could make something so simple sound so great. He can play a guitar solo like this one and make you feel like it's coming from some mystical, magical land.

why are you guys talking about van halen?

Bolan= cool as fuck

van halen= mild decency with excessive cheesyness... yeah, i said it, decent, get over it, van halen is only as good as you pretend they are...

@rayholtz....finding Marc Bolan only recently....ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY HIS POETRY AND GUITAR......so many of the bands i listen to, borrow heavily from him, i had no idea...well, it's just like me to go backwards done the numberline....Marc is Simply Celestial.....

[bolanrules]

it's actually quite simple. Marc bolan was the originator of everything he ever did.

I feel lucky to be able to bring up Marc anytime on my PC.

I 'm from another generation, Marc would be so pleased!

@ItGirl666

You summed up how I feel perfectly only I'd apply that to everything Bolan has done. I thought

I knew his music because I knew a few hits from the past. I knew shit. His music is one

huge revelation to me and I am loving every minute of discovering it all.

[actron]

Very cool, love his music forever. And I liked your video, the green deco shape/frames worked for me.

[ItGirl666]

As someone who has always LOVED T-Rex ,and as someone who will always say the Syd Barrett era of Pink Floyd is FAR superior to their latter work. Tyrannosaurus Rex has officially become the most important personal musical discovery for me in years! I know the expression 'my mind is blown' is a cliche...but in this case its true. Marc Bolans genius has taken on a new dimension, and I look forward to exploring it further. Thanks for posting.

@HIPandiDONTmeanHOP INfuckingDEED. Now let that be the end of it, and not desecrate this site any further...;] It's all about magic.

Bolan was no saint though, for me, he lost it around '75.Although ,recently caught up with his later work . Some nice surprises there.

@rayholtz yeah man took me years to play like Bolan, Jimy Hendrix was easier to play! Bolan has a very unique way of playing as he almost speaks or thinks through his fingers! You have to become the song sort of shit it's really a trip! He's all emotion not techicality and very very clever repetitive off beast riffs! My greatest influence in my musical carrier!
