Underrated by whom, exactly? If you knew anyone who who was between the ages of 16 and 24 around 1971's Electric Warrior, the band was well known and likely a copy of that LP was in that one's collection.
@@aurumofcyberelius I mean, you aren’t wrong but sometimes it kinda happens with any fandom that the creator uses a certain source and it is popular (in this example Araki uses songs and bands for character names)

Marc's guitar here is a Gibson Les Paul Standard which had the neck broken off in an accident at an airport (Marc saw it happen). He had a neck from a Les Paul Custom put on to replace the broken one. Several years ago, Gibson released a Marc Bolan Les Paul replica. He must have really liked that guitar. When it was stolen, he bought a wine red Les Paul Standard (as seen on the Marc tv show).
RIP the three members of T. Rex Marc Bolan (September 30, 1947 - September 16, 1977), aged 29 Steve Currie (May 19, 1947 - April 28, 1981), aged 33 Mickey Finn (June 3, 1947 - January 11, 2003), aged 55 You will always be remembered as legends.
In Germany 🇩🇪, german tv in 1973. I was on tv then of course . 20 Century Boy had not been released yet, as far as I remember .We all were on Radio Luxemburg AM in those days. The played the singles even a few days before official release. The task was somehow calculating when the next T.Rex single was supposed to be released. Remember that the first time Children of the R. was played I was on Radio L. Amazing to remember.
Legend.... coolest dude... can you imagine how slick he was walking around london in the 70's.. or in and out of gigs... what a musician... and style icon..

@@catsofsherman1316 Bolan originated the glam rock sound around late 1970. Bowie can in later around 1972. Gotta give Marc his due's on this one. He's the king of glam rock.
I think this is my favourite T.Rex single & considering the great run they had between ‘70 & ‘73 that’s praise indeed. Love it, it has a bit more grind, power & raunch than the others. Definitely one to crank up in the car & let rip to!
Marc Bolan was one of the nicest people. He was always ready to offer good advice to new bands. Believe me, I was on the receiving end of some of it. Then sadly he died in 1977, the same year as Elvis and my mum.
I grew up with this kind of music❤ my father was in a band when he was a teen in the 70s so he had 3 drawers full of classic rock n roll..on tape!🤩🤩🥰❤️
T - Rex with Marc Bolan! What great memories they bring! I got that T - Rex album, forget the name at the moment, I'm old, that has One Inch Rock and other great, raw tracks on it. Way back in my college years late 60's, very early 70's and my roommates and I just about wore out the grooves! And guess what, I still have that very album in my vinyl collection, safety packed away! I think I need to get it out and crank it up very soon! Yes, my friends, that was when Rock was Solid!
RIP 🙏 Marc BOLAN a fantastic singer and brilliant legend gone too soon but never forgotten in our hearts every time we hear your fantastic music 🎸🎤🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
2021 & I'm totally infatuated with Marc Bolan. He's been gone all these years but still steals womens hearts of all ages from all over the world. He's a Magic Man 🎩 & TREX ROCKS !!! 🦖
OK, I played this kickass version to death. It rocks, as in RAWKS and it's tight. Love the sound of it too - feels like you're right on the axis of Bolan's amp.Nice double tracked vocal.
The very first single I spent my pocket money on. Those crunching power chords, make "20th Century Boy" a stone-cold rock classic, no matter how one slices it. Never should a track have sounded so obviously a No1 record...but wasn't.
Came here for the 20th century boys references and discussions and : 1 . found what I was looking for 2. found JoJo references 3. fell in love with this banger
Watching a bit of the greatest hits of the 70's at the minute. Marc Bolan and T.Rex rule!. Shame I was too young at the time to get into music in general.
I do trust you celtic tree! I too was a teenager during ALL the classic 70's eras too, I just think I may have been misinterpreted a little. My first concert was in fact T*REX in 1973 Sydney Australia (when Bolan eventually decided to tour there at long last.) I think I was trying to give major credit to all predecessors of punk (Godfathers or Uncles so to speak, like your Bolans/Iggys/Bowies etc. who definitely moulded the way for what was about to take place a few short years later, that's all.) But I would never contest anybody that Punk and Glam aren't two separate genres for sure. But I rest my case with Iggy's Raw Power album released 1973 (pre-punk rock) that was punkier than some crap that veiled itself as new wave/punk rock that was coming out post mid-late 70's. But I really do appreciate the chat all the same, I just love re-living the era, the whole decade, and after in fact. Those were exciting times! Really were! You've got me going now. Cheers!
Marc was the enemy of te Music industry. The Stones got their own label first. Marc and EMI came to an agreement. Unheard of in the day, bar Apple. You gotta listen to Marcs lyrics on two levels. He was mates with everyone. Tina Turner hascstated it was Marc that came up with the riff for and plays on the single of Flatbush city limits. Pink floyed had an office Marc met June there.

Massive back story. Pinky broke from the mould. Boley, Bowie, Glitter, at the extreme Saville.. BBC... Pretty mucked up days.
Coming from the stereo inside the truck full of dynamite along with Kenji's belted accompaniment was an old song from the 1970's called "Twentieth Century Boy". -GOD
There is a cracking live version of The Groover played in Anerica in 73 also a fantastic live version of Hot Love again in America and for a trilogy a brilliant version again in America unfortunately of Token of my Love There are a couple really good live versions of Chariot Choogle and Buike Mackane recorded in Japan and a fantastic version of Jewel on you tube Not nearly enough T.rex around so much has been lost but hey still a dozen great albums not bad for a 29 year old
Just about to learn this song and wanted to check if I should continue playing it on my HSS Strat or pick up my SG... It seems, I'll have to go SG - however the HSS is damn close

Only got into T.Rex recently and as a musician myself who knows great guitarist of all time this lead guitarist is phenomenal and a legend.

Hello 👋, how are you doing???
His voice live whilst playing that guitar part is something else.
Dubbed voice
@@davidboyle2476 yeah was thinking the same... it sounds live until he pulls back from the microphone and the voice is still sounding...
Marc Bolan was one of the nicest people. He was always ready to offer good advice to new bands. Believe me, I was on the receiving end of some of it. Then sadly he died in 1977, the same year as Elvis and my mum.
There was so much more to be had from this legendary musician.. Rest in peace Mr Bolan.. or play that guitar in heaven like like the boss you are..
I feel this is one of the best studio live performance ever with LES PAUL vibrations

Marc Bolan performed the perfect Show, awesome in Motion and Style. The Master of Glam Rock.
His studio work is so lush..live..well..it's just dead solid perfect. Can't believe this is almost a half a century old.
Voice of the 70s and the 21st century of Marc Bolan forever...

Never should a track have sounded so obviously a No1 record...but wasn't.

Too bad he is terribly underrated because HE ROCKS!!!!
Glad he finally made it to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.
The drum and bass are perfect well done Bill and Steve
Marc Bolan was an out and out funk soul brother.
That dirty guitar sound is so good mixed with sneering sleaze was a big influence to us punk kids.

The riff for this song is so good! Love it 😁
I want a T.Rex response. This is one of my top 5 T. Rex videos of all time. Hit me trexmarcbolan! LOL.
There is a cracking live version of The Groover played in Anerica in 73 also a fantastic live version of Hot Love again in America and for a trilogy a brilliant version again in America unfortunately of Token of my Love There are a couple really good live versions of Chariot Choogle and Buike Mackane recorded in Japan and a fantastic version of Jewel on you tube Not nearly enough T.rex around so much has been lost but hey still a dozen great albums not bad for a 29 year old
Jewel!!!!
昔特に70年代は魅力あるバンドが沢山いましたね。 Ｔ-RÈXはボーカルが歌い方もギターもイケメンだし服装も可愛いしステキ。 この歌はサイコーですね✌️
Just about to learn this song and wanted to check if I should continue playing it on my HSS Strat or pick up my SG...
It seems, I'll have to go SG - however the HSS is damn close
