  • I just love the simplicity of T.Rex songs and riffs and had to do a video of them. You will most likely know a lot of these songs (I hope?) but there are a few lesser known ones included that you should definitely check out if you haven't heard them before.

    Mark Bolan is underrated and one of the best of rock and roll.

  • @mesolithicman164
    @mesolithicman164 Před rokem +45

    I think Bolan's brilliance is using basic chords in a very creative way to make great tunes. Thanks for this it's made me want to revisit some old favourites.

    Marc Bolan is rock 'n' roll personified. There will never be another like him.

      I agree. Marc was amazing
      Basic chords but with an amazing sound.
      Rock on Marc
      You'll always be number 1 in my opinion.

    Awesome that young people know about T-Rex! Even cooler that you are teaching others. Keep on rocking, Electric Warrior! There was a joy in Bolan's music that was, and is, rare. Buick McCaine (sp.?) and a really obscure one called Mustang Ford were some of my favorites. The Slider was probably my fav. T-Rex album.

    Marc's gift wasn't in technical virtuosity: it was in packing as much attitude into what he was playing that it made you feel the energy. These riffs still drip with swagger, testosterone and sexual tension.

    Marc Bolan borrowed most of his riffs from old Rock 'n' Roll and Blues Rock heroes, but he transformed them into his very own T.Rex Glam Rock style, produced by the legendary Tony Visconti. And the results were absolutely unique.
