TANX T. REX (Inglaterra) Edição original: EMI / T.Rex Wax Co Produtor(es): Tony Visconti discogs allmusic wikipedia Diz-se que Marc Bolan queria deixar para trás o glam, que na altura reinava no Reino Unido e do qual foi um dos principais impulsionadores, com o intuito de se aproximar das audiências americanas. Em "Tanx" surgiam novos efeitos de guitarra, coros femininos, metais, novos
Born Marc Feld in 1947, this hour long BBC documentary traces Marc Bolan's life and career from his London mod beginnings to his death in 1977, two weeks shy of his 30th birthday. Have a watch, then go listen to Unicorn.

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (not really at all) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. Inspired by the ongoing disaster that is Lou Reed & Metallica's Lulu, this week we asked our writers: BESIDES METALLICA AND LOU REED, WHAT IS THE WORST COLLABORATION [...]
From BBC home's "On This Day" "Pop star Marc Bolan has been killed in a car crash in south-west London. The 29-year-old former T-Rex singer was killed instantly when the car being driven by his girlfriend, Gloria Jones, left the road and hit a tree in Barnes. Miss Jones – an American singer who had just returned from the US – broke her jaw and is suffering from shock". via retrorambling.wordpress.com

Gross Magic - Sweetest Touch by TheSoundsOfSweetNothing Can't help but think there's gonna be more said about Sam McGarrigle - the man who is essentially Gross Magic - over the next few months. Hype innit. Young lad from Brighton making that DIY lo-fi sounding glam rock pop, like the Ariel Pink Britain didn't realise it had been waiting for. Sweetest Touch is a sexy little number; sexy in that sexually ambiguous Brett Anderson and Marc Bolan type of way. Gross Magic have an EP out soon released [...]
Billy Super Duper by T.RexThis is a great find for you T.Rex fans - free T.Rex! Billy Super Duper is Marc Bolan's unfinished rock opera. Some of the songs have been previously released, and a few have never been out before. I am totally digging it. It has all of the glam-tastic riffing you love, and some of this stuff is also pretty damn funky - which I love. Anyway, listen, and if you like go to
As someone who has grown up surrounded by Glam Rock, there's something delightfully familiar about Days Of Old by Babeshadow . The London duo openly admit that they are inspired by music of the fifties and sixties, with the results incredibly clear in this song. There's something incredibly Status Quo about the opening beat, while there are solo guitar sections which are reminiscent of classic summer beach boys tracks. The most overwhelmingly familiar aspect of it, however, are the vocals which bear more than a passing resemblance to one Marc Bolan. To be honest, I think it [...]
On Record Store Day, Ty Segall released a six-song EP of T. Rex covers dubbed Ty Rex . One of the most compelling covers on the EP is "Salamanda Palaganda." When the song was originally released in 1968 on the record Prophets, Seers & Sages , T. Rex was then known as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Marc Bolan hadn't yet achieved the level of mainstream success he would in 1970s as a glam rock god. Here, on the bongo and acoustic guitar-filled "Salamanda Palaganda," Bolan was still just a psychadelic folk artist, albeit an exceptionally creative one. That's why [...]
Ty Segall , scuzzed-out garage rocker. Marc Bolan and T. Rex, glam jammers. While the combination isn't too obvious, these two go together like peanut butter and honey (I was never a big jelly fan). Segall recently put out a six-track EP of T. Rex covers slyly titled Ty Rex --see what he did there? The lo-fi aesthetic suits Bolan's songs well, but you'd already know it if you listened to Smith Westerns ' first LP or Burnt Ones . Regardless, Segall's shaggy covers tow that must-hear line: conventional [...]
If only this masterpiece was recorded 20 years sooner, Spacehog might be mentioned in the same sentence as Marc Bolan and Mott The Hoople instead of being mentioned in the same sentence as Deep Blue Something and Eve 6. Even worse are the comparisons Spacehog must endure to acts such as The Darkness, who's similarities to the England-via-Brooklyn rockers starts and ends at the misleading shorthand that lazy pundits use to describe each band's perceived songwriting style. Even though one band predated the other by so many years that they are not even contemporaries, it's [...]
Aesthetically akin to Marc Bolan, Adam Palomo (aka Neon Indian ) just released a whacked-out take on T-Rex' timeless stadium trash slayer Children Of The Revolution, smearing it in shimmering synths and muffled garbling. Sounding forever more like MGMT hurtling down the Butlins Blackhole with Alice Glass hobbling behind, Palomo's maturing quite resplendently. Neon Indian - Children Of The Revolution (t. rex cover) by rotolo3 Neon Indian's Myspace .
I used to love T. Rex back in the day. This morning over on Pitchfork, I saw that Neon Indian took a chance on covering his "Children of The Revolution." Well, I'm not too sure if this warped and twisted dissection of the song is sitting well with me. Even though Marc Bolan himself was [...]
What do we have here? A simply wonderful sound coming out of London town once again. A truly colourful and resonant noise that blends the beauty of glam as perfected by the likes of Bowie and Bolan with the endorphin-throttling pulses of electronic pop bliss. No. I'm not talking about 80s band Dead Or Alive. I'm referring to The Dirty Disco! The name is quite an appropriate description of the band's sound as they truly do have the knack for working the listener up into a terrible sweat. I implore you to give a long listen or four to the [...]
Let's face it, Tyrannosaurus Rex (later T.Rex) rarely comes up in conversation these days, and most folks think Bang A Gong (Get It On) was concocted by a half-baked Duran Duran side project. Even many self-proclaimed music fans can contribute little to a T.Rex debate than Electric Warrior and the fact that original percussionist Steve Peregrine Took (yes, you read that right) died by choking on a cherry pit. T.Rex's relative lack of notoriety is perhaps not surprising. Always more popular in the UK, the band burned white hot for a brief [...]
Seems like forever since we've run a proper From the Closet, so what better way to start things back up than with a little coverage of one of our favorites, T. Rex . You can get a piece of the band's collection brand new starting October 26th, as Fat Possum is re-issuing the catalogue, one LP at a time, beginning with The Slider. T. Rex began as a folk [...]
