It's really sad that Marc didn't get time to enjoy being a dad, it's the greatest thing to ever happen in my life. I think Marc would've been a wonderful father, actually.
he was a dad and he's also not you
@@sexobscura but how long did he get to be one? It's not a destination, it's a state of being and it changes with time and experience. Marc isn't me? My, you don't miss anything do ya?
@@archstanton4365
no, I don't
He was an absolute tsunami of charisma.
Love him
Well put! 💕
and as destructive
@@sexobscura he wasn’t destructive at all. Not true.

I said that words are
AT LAST! People can see this wonderful interview. I saw it at a Bolan convention some years ago now and have wanted desperatley to see it again....Marc's sense of humour is wonderful.
Loved this guy since I bought ride a white swan. I was 14, in 1972, posters of Marc all over my bedroom wall, ceiling , furniture, was a member of t.Rex fan club, broke my heart when he died!! He always said he wouldn’t live past 30, and he didn’t, love this interview, Marc’s total genuine charm, love you Marc forever xxxx
I started to listen to Marc by chance in the summer of 2022 and goddamn, it crushes me to know that he isn't alive today.
I think It must've been the same for me same time I really got into bowie
Marc was so charismatic. What a legend.
He's so dreamy.
The Bolan and T-Rex story could make a great movie.
It would however, they would probably screw it up. Every recent biopic of a rock star has been more fiction than fact.
@@andrewmorton2430True. Someone who actually cares needs to be involved.
@@andrewmorton2430 Like the misinformation in "Elvis".
@@seerstone8982 Exactly. Bohemian Rhapsody was farcical too. As they say in Hollywood don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.
@@andrewmorton2430 Yes I'm 63, and a Queen fan since the early 70s. I watched the film, and spotted all of the glaring inaccurate parts. It reminded me of "Man on the moon" with its inaccurate portrayal of Andy Kaufman.
"You should really project what you are, and be strong...you know"
Amazing, strangely feels like it’s a very recent Interview
It’s lovely … I love all the little stories you get from Marc in between the conversation words. He’s lovely and sends himself up as much as he big’s himself up.
Sweet and very young ❤
The king of Glam sinking down a can of Foster's Beer one of the most iconic aussie beverages. It's cool to watch. A very charming man he was.
If you ever go to Australia you’ll never see a can of Fosters.
@@hardlines2635 Not these days, usually VB or Tooheys.
They we were sued for calling themselves Australian, because it is far from being Australian.
@@AFloridaSon'they we were'
Sued for calling 'themselves' (plural) because 'it is' (singular) far from ...
@@stuartwray6175the company is plural, the beer is singular??
Keep a little Marc in your heart, first song bought Metal Guru.
What an amazing person, here he is just coming out of the depths of the music business and still comes across like the utter star that he was!
Great to see this interview in full! Please upload more of your Marc Bolan/T. Rex material please!
L
He comes over as a very nice , sensible intelligent guy !
Such a crying shame how he was taken from the world so young !
Cute interview !!!! He was so lovely and I love his charisma and his music....and his beautiful eyes....thank you for posting. Marc is in my ❤....forever.
Waves to all Marc fans ...from Germany...👋
Thank you for posting this ....😊
A Beautiful Soul …great personality and wisdom at a young age …
Thankyou Always keep a little of Marc in your Heart 💙🦢💙
It’s lovely. Never tire of hearing it
Wow I've only ever seen parts of this interview but not all of it! Thank you for posting!
You're very welcome
Brilliant !! and the best advert for Fosters Lager I have ever seen .
"Hot love" was beyond magical.
The woman interviewing Marc looked totally mesmerised by him just like most of us were in the early 70s.
Marc will always be one of the best musicians, what a gorgeous talented man and so sad he was taken away from his family so young, tragic. Sounds like he’s talking about Exile on Main Street regarding the tax problem. Love the British fashion Mod Look too, so classy. When young he wanted to be Elvis also just like Robert Plant, gorgeous accent and a very kind person,,,swoon! ❤ 😅
😍OMG he's even more beautiful in this interview The lady who interviewed him was a lucky lass.
Marc and TRex were at the forefront of heavy music in the 70s, and they made it seem so effortless. I’m listening to the live cut of Buick Mackane from 72 as I’m typing this 😅 cheers
Enjoyable interview, not some showbiz thing, just like a good chat really. My first music hero, still great music. Yes he often talked bollocks, like anyone can, but I do wish I'd met him back then. He died just after I turned ten and although his massive fame had dropped off, music-wise he still had the tunes. Thanks for the upload!
Very hard working and ambitious
Thanx for sharing this. I love it. 😊❤️
YEP, Marc we sure liked you in Australia back in the 70's, I as a teenager then, bought your Electric Warrior album as soon as I heard Get It On!! I've still got this album in 2024 and played it this week, it's always been a favourite of mine. Aussie fan!! 🥰
Many many TANX for sharing 👍
Crammed a hell of a lot in to the years he was alive great interview
Great interview with marc wish we could see more interviews with marc ❤
I would never have become a performer had it not been for my absolute fascination with Mr B....
Thank you for posting this whole interview, it's really amazing to see the whole thing💜
Love this interview.
Very well spoken
😁FANTASTIC! THANK YOU!🎸
Glad you like it!
Sweetheart of a man !
A true poet song writer .who new to. Much. For his own good . A wisdom of a man, ZEE, poet. Will always carry a . Little Mark in my heart.
It’s really unusual when I see new things from Marc (like a lot of people I’ve seen parts of this) even though I haven’t seen it before, I have a weird feeling I have! Strange
i love him
A science fiction film directed by Bolan, with Bowie in it. That car crash took away more than I realised.
"He came out dancing"...was the song "cosmic dancer" about his son?? I just discovered the song and his music and love it all! Cosmic dancer is my favorite song from him! It's just damn cool!
I would love to see/hear Marc Bolan’s interview with Freddie Mercury that he mentions in this. Cant see any mention of it anywhere online
My 2 favourite singers are Marc Bolan and Freddie Mercury , I really wish I could hear this interview !
@@catrionafoy2523 i have a feeling Marc died before it could happen, as I don’t see any mention of it anywhere
@Sammalone666 shame would have been epic
I was just thinking maybe Marc could have talking about his music TV show, The Marc Bolan show? maybe Queen were going to be guests the show, I think Roger Taylor was.
@@catrionafoy2523 possibly. Yeah Roger was on it once. However his TV show was just music performances rather than interviews. I guess we will never know!
I was so in love with him as a toddler
The song Get It On is featured in the new Tom Cruise film, Top Gun Maverick .
Great thanks
You are welcome
Growing up on his music in Australia. Sorry he died so young
Lovely man.
I like the colour picture of Louise Brooks. ❤
King Marc!! ❤
queen
Marc..... Eternamente bello 😍😍😍
Gracias 🎤🌟✨🎶💝
He talks like he's much older than he was. It's hard to imagine he never got to 30 .
Maybe he was an old soul...
Bowie said that when he was young he always felt out of synch with his actual age. I related to that.
Sadly, Marc had went through a divorce so he had a will written up that gave his entire estate to charity if anything happened to him. Unfortunately that was not changed before his death, so his son, and the mother of his son, was left with nothing from him. Albeit, his son's mom, Gloria Jones, is a singer in her own right, although her voice was damaged in the accident that killed Marc. Luckily, his good friend David Bowie stepped in and helped with financial support to get them through it until mom could get financially stable.
I have always read that his money was lost, and no one could find it. Where did you read that he left it all to charity? I hope that’s true.
There was no mention in Bolan's Will of his estate going to Charity at all. The Will bequethed monies to a list of people but there wasn't enough cash in the Will to cover those bequests. Unfortunatley Marc had taken advice from lawayers to use offshore accounts for his royaties etc to avoid British tax. Ity was set up in such a way that Marc himself couldn't access any money directly (this was to keep his name invisible to the tax man) so monies had to be secured for him by accountants connected to the offshore accounts. The story about Bowie stepping in is not true, there was never any money etc involving Bowie. Marc's son Rolan now gets a yearly amount of money from the offshore account. Rolan also recently won a 2 million dollar court case against the American wing if Westminster Music re: copyright ownership of many of Marc's earlier songs. He won the case and copyright ownership of the songs. He later sold the ownership to Spirit/Universal Music.
thanks for our lesson
@@bariwatts3430 thank you so much for clearing this up. I had always heard that Bowie had given money, so I believed it. I’m so glad to hear that Rolan is finally getting something. I know the tax rate in England was, and perhaps still is, extremely high for people who make a lot of money, so I think it was quite common for people to have offshore accounts, if I’m not mistaken. It sounds like it wasn’t handled very well though. In my experience, the more brilliant the artist, the less practical they are. We pay for our gifts! I mean all of us, whether we are artists or not. Thank you again for this info.
I remember seeing this at the time. GTK wasn't it? It's amazing what has been unearthed in recent years.
Does any fans have the interviews he did , the guest he got were fantastic?
He was Amazing!
Mark Bolan eas a true music legend thete will never be another Mark Bolan rest in peace Mark Bolan 😢❤😢
I think at one stage he claimed to be trisexual, he never passed up the chance of a good quote 😁
He did say that when he found out that Bowie had told the reporters that he was bisexual, and Marc was trying to top him. I think it’s hysterically funny. 😁
Beautiful Interviewer by the way, does anyone know her name?
You nailed it ! what a freekin stunner ey, 😍🤩🤑💋💞💘
Gosh I might have to take a cold shower after watching only 4 minutes of this hahaaa. Is that so very crude of me. He's just dreamy
God same lol
Not crude at all…feel what u feel!
Me too, me too whew!! His accent 😅
ok, people, anyone knows what scifi movie he wrote with Bowie and planned to direct himself in 1976 he was talking abt or he was just high and was talking abt The Man Who Fell to Earth he had nothing to do with? I really need to know.
the movie was to be obsessed with David Niven marc was to be a sociopath drug pusher it never got made.
@@karlarmstrong and they wrote it? and where is the script?
Bolan was notorious for taking the piss. He made all sorts of claims of how we had been trained by a wizard, how he had wrote numerous books that he was just sitting on, how he had written great screenplays, including one for Federico Fellini. None of it was true, he was just great at self-mythologising. He never wrote that with Bowie.
RIP Marc
pity there is a ridiculously oversized watermark right across the screen, I sacked it off after a minute of that😿
sacked?
Marc would have been even bigger had he lived. After his initial success people thought he was on the wane but I think he was only just starting. He was on a par with David Bowie.
He would have been perfect for the 80's.
I agree with you. People always say that Bowie changed a lot during his career and he did, but if you listen to Marc‘s early albums, and then his later ones, no one changed more than Marc did. Absolutely no one.
Does anybody know the name of the interviewer?
❤
He was such an infp
I'm an INFP! That certainly would explain alot_ I'm afraid to watch this,it might destroy me.
I love how this interviewer was like "oh youre not really bisexual" and he was like no I am basically. Honestly if times weren't so rough, I bet he would have been way more adamant. I bet he wouldve ended up with a man later down the line too. Girls really asking him that as hes wearing that outfit and hes speaking in his voice with his mannerism... girl hes mirroring u. Open ur eyes
Nope. Disagree with you there. He ❤ed his background singer girl. I think with many musicos the ❤ transcends the sexual instinct. I, a c is female ❤ a certain type of guy, but am closest friends to my bass player and another bass player who I worked with..both guys but they aren't my usual type of rocker guy. Marc simply loved her both from the musical sense as well as the physical side.
You need to learn about his love of Gloria Jones, the mother of his son. I think they'd still be together, with many more kids.
@@AFloridaSon Yes. That is what I was saying!
@@AFloridaSon I hope not or she would have to stop drinking and smoking but frankly he could have so much better,in fact any girl he wanted...
Has he been listening to Peter Cook?
👍
True godfather of punk and new wave
What’s after February, Marc h. 😅
😁😁
For an English man he had surprisingly nice teeth. He didn't take himself too seriously, now, did he. I don't know, I feel many of his critics didn't get him and his humour. Such a loss he died so damn young.
We've all got nice teeth. It's the ladies that have the teeth of the hydra upon them.
@@ATMFC Steve Vai is great :D
@@ATMFC 🤣🤣
Personally I love wonky teeth, perfect is so very boring in the grand scheme of things
@lunasanja4574
So where you are from they all have bad teeth? 😅 just saying
Emanuel Swedenborg approves of this video.. I know I am small but I enjoy living live anyway
With his Les Paul 😉🎸
KALMIYH!
I know I'm small but I enjoy living anyway.
What's the Swedenborg connection?
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg a gorgeous guy 😍
I loved TREX and Marc but was taken back by reading that he was difficult, flippant and, at times, rude. If that is true it must have been behind the scenes bc he comes off as sincere and open. RIP!
KALMIYH ❤️
"How do you do it all?"
"Foster's lager."
He mentions Australia a lot and oddly holds a can of Fosters all the way through. Otherwise, this is the first interview I think I have seen of him and he sounds like he was such a smart guy. Shame that he wrapped his mini around a tree when he was still so young
I think his backup singer girlfriend was driving.
This was an interview especially made for Australian Tv Rock presentation…GTK ( Get To Know) it has only recently resurfaced….
Product placement. Fosters were the sponsor of the TV show.
If you know his music, you know many of his songs reference automobiles a lot. He even named his son Rolan (rollin), but Marc had a fear of driving, and never drove. He did own the Mini, but it was his girlfriend Gloria Jones that was driving. Probably as good a time as any to mention that he died exactly one month to the day after Elvis.
@@AFloridaSon I remember that day well, and I remember in an interview he said he hoped that he wouldn’t die on the same day as someone else who was famous because he wanted top billing. The opera singer, Maria Callas, died the same day Marc did, but I read somewhere that, at least in the British papers, his death was listed first. He would have liked that. That was one of the worst days of my life.
i showed a picture to my old neighbour once it was one of him on a skate board and she said 'who's she' it changed my whole view of my then pop hero i also saw that the number plate on the mini which he died in had the word fox on it which in numerology is 666
He was wonderful. Even with all the BS he tosses around in interviews. Love him.
I like Bolan, but the eyes.. Sanpaku test. Whadda you think?
Probably bipolar marc amazing talent
3:08 serious product placement going on there
His every whim and everyone running around for him, I guess there was never a need for him to grow up
o lord. why u take him so young????
Fabulous interview. "I like titties..." 😆
Very similar to Freddie Mercury
Look at her eyes on him she’s transfixed
Marc , Could've pulled a John Lennon and became a house husband for a while
Talking about himself was his favourite subject 💀
It’s a lovely interview but he’s still drinking and in fact, holding a can of beer. Such a shame he didn’t live to find a way out of his demons. His last album is truly fantastic
A beer?! Clutch my pearls!
@@calamityjenn as an alcoholic, it was always a shame to see Marc drinking.
Actually, he had pretty much stopped drinking, at least heavily, before he died and was in fantastic shape. He had kicked his coke habit also.
@@whitebirchtarot that’s not entirely true. He was drinking throughout the Dragon Tour in early ‘76 and yes, there was a healthier approach by ‘77 there was still drinking and still some drugs. Steve Harley has spoken about this. Marc was an addict and that doesn’t mean you suddenly stop. His drummer Tony Newman in ‘77 days this in a lovely interview. Marx’s demons were still present, he was making progress and I think Gloria was instrumental in that but still some way to go
@@thejfg7741 I knew he was drinking champagne the night he was killed, but I didn’t know he was still using coke. He certainly looked healthier though. Such a shame. I think he would’ve kicked it in the end. No pun intended.
It's sad how he thought he was still at that level of fame and success he once was. His career was unfortunately going downhill at this point. As brilliant as he was, he was in complete denial while he over exaggerated about how successful he still was in 1975.
+Chantelle Adlington It is sad. There was a good man under all that BS. He was human much like the rest of us though. Couldn't face the fall so he created an alternate reality. Sadly, he was the architect of his own downfall career-wise. Booze and coke will kill the muse every time.
@@capnjack7668 yes. Ironically though, he was once dead set on not taking drugs, but I guess the fame and the pressures of it changed that
@@chantelleadlington June left marc in 1973 he got depressed that's when the drugs took hold he did say Roland would stabilize him.
@@karlarmstrong He was starting to abuse substances even before June left. I have no doubt that was one of the factors why she left. The thing about Rolan is so sad. While a child can certainly deliver a reality check for dad to start getting his act together, one should never look to a kid to carry that weight. I cut Bolan a bit of slack here though as he was still in his 20s and didn't yet have the maturity to realize that children are not the solution to dad's problems.
@@karlarmstrong yes he didn't do well at all after June left, Mick O'Halloran, T Rex's roadie said when June left Marc 'cried like a baby' and was 'devastated' he was already doing drugs unfortunately when with June, she and Ringo Starr held an intervention to try help him stop but it didn't work. But yes the drug use got worse after June left. Gloria encouraged it and her brother was Marc's drug dealer.
Terrible
Not fond at all of Marc Bolan.
That’s fine as everyone has their likes and dislikes but do you have nothing better to do with your life then tell everyone how much you don’t like something? There are many artists I don’t like but I don’t waste my time listening or watching them but if someone else enjoys them more power to them. There are billions of videos on CZcams do you go to each one and put a “not fond of…” after each one you don’t like?
One of the best groups of all time are from the name of your CZcams channel. Feel better now?@@ReelinInTheYears66
That’s OK. He didn’t like you either. 😊
Fine with me!@@whitebirchtarot
Still drinking and bloated here..shame....definitely bisexual and hes telling the truth on that
*He just 'plucked tunes out of the air'*
