    this thread is about as popular as a rucksack wearing asian in a underground...oooohhh edgy ;)

    I love T-rex danny boy... I just recently learned how to play the start of Children of the Revolution on the ol' geetar.. basic E-chord and lift hand off every alternate strum.. then thats about it (wee end bit is just E-minor on 5th fret and slid down to proper Eminor)

    did that make any sense... my best mate plays in a proper glam rock tribute band... touring country and even Army bases in germany, etc... they do a mean version of 20th Century Boy.. great riffster was the Jeepster :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    He never really made it in the States. The US even changed the title of "Get It On" to "Bang a Gong".

    but why? :confused: why do they feel the need to change things like that

    is "get it on" deemed to sexual in some way? i mean "bang a gong" could be construed in such a way also

    it's like with the Beatles albums and stuff... changing covers and mucking around with tracks on the albums..

    i wonder why he never made it big there... too anglicised... to androgynous... i mean he head some good riffs going on!

    Marc Bolan gets my love any day. :) I'm off to listen to "Beltane Walk" to get this nasty week off to a more positive start.

    oh, I like him! :)
    since you were complaining about the lack of T. Rex and Bolan fans, I decided to pay our librarys music section a visit. what I found was T. Rex's Great Hits 1972-1977. and I love it!
    then I went to the library again today and found Electric Warrior. I haven't had the time to listen to it yet, but I'm about to. :)

    so, no you have a new fan (well, he/the band has, but you know what I mean). :D

    I'm bumping this thread in behalf of daniel. :)

    T. Rex is amazing!! :D

    it's funny, just the other night we were watching TV and a Jarhead commercial came out and I realized on the backgroung was T. Rex's Bang a Gong (Get It On). so, I recognised it and told everyone that I did ( :D ) and my mom was sitting in the kitchen and laughing to the fact that nowadays I'm listening to a lot of the music she listened to when she was about my age. :D
