Marc died way too young.He was fabulous and a pioneer of glam rock.R.I.P.Marc,you’re still well remembered.
Yes, he died in a car crash in 1977 at the age of 30, very sad, I remember being really shocked when I heard the news. RIP Marc Bolan.
@@annemaclean6634 29**
But he died 2 weeks before his 30th birthday
T Rex - 20th Century Boy HAS to be the next song. I cannot listen to it without turning it all the way up! 70’s glam rock at it’s best😀
I know the title of this song as Get It On, it's a great song by T Rex and I love it. Marc Bolan is the vocalist and they were often on Top of the Pops in the 70s - glam rock!! T Rex had loads of hits in the UK, songs such as 20th Century Boy, I Love To Boogie, Telegram Sam, Metal Guru, Jeepster and Children of the Revolution. Thanks so much for your reaction, guys and I'm so glad you've reacted to this iconic band from the UK glam rock of the 1970s! Take care now. 😊👍

I'm glad they did it too;)
" Hot love " is another great one
Rick Wakeman did the piano bits on this. Apparently he was broke at the time, and needed £8 to pay an outstanding gas bill. When Bolan found out he told Rick to come down to the studio. When Rick arrived he listened to the track but he told Marc that it didn’t need piano. Marc told him to just do a few sweeps down the keyboard so Rick did that in a couple of minutes. For that he was paid the standard session fee of £9, so he was able to pay his gas bill. Rick has recounted that story many times, to illustrate how much he appreciated Marc’s kindness in getting him ‘money for virtually nothing’ (as Rick said, anyone could have done that on the piano, but Marc fixed it for Rick to get his cash).
Elton John sat in on this song in Christmas 1971.
It's actually called 'Get It On'. In the US, it was retitled 'Bang a Gong (Get It On)' because there was another song with the same name by a band called 'Chase'.
70's GLAM ROCK Perfection!
Awwww good-looking Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Considered the Glam Rock King with David Bowie following close behind! Marc tragically was killed in a car crash in 1977. A couple years ago, his son Rolan Bolan inducted T.Rex into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! Love Metal Guru, Jeepster, Rock On, Slider, Childlike Men .. 🎩
Great one-hit wonder in the US. They had 10 Top 10 hits in the UK and Germany!
edit- You'll love their "Jeepster"!!
I didn't know they were a one-hit wonder in the US! As you say, in the UK, they had loads of hits and we loved them. They were always on Top of the Pops and they were great to watch! 😊
They also had numerous hits in Canada. If you only know what happens in the States, you'll end up sadly misinformed
@@altaclipper I highlighted their Top 10 hits, of which they had none in Canada.
@@surlechapeau That doesn’t mean anything. “Jeepster”, “Bang a Gong”, “Metal Guru”, “Telegram Sam” and “Baby Boomerang” all got lots of airplay on the radio but you think Googling charts means you’re an expert. But you weren’t there and you don’t know, sorry.
Head of the band and lead singer Marc Bolan was electric. Mikey Finn on bongos- greatness. Had Bolan not died in a car wreck, he and his band T-Rex would have gone on too be huge. At the time, they were already huge in England. His wife took a turn too fast and then car fell off a cliff. Thankfully, she survived. Anyway, one of my favorites of theirs is Mambo Sun. A lot of people in the states think this song is the band’s one-hit-wonder. But it couldn’t be farther from the truth. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago. Thanks for posting.
Great dip into a much underrated genre of music and that is UK Glam Rock, Bands like T.Rex, The Sweet, Mud, early David Bowie, Roxy Music, Alvin Stardust and the incredible Slade, such an underrated band.
Gosh, all these bands/singers are so familiar to me, often on Top of the Pops and we loved them. Roxy Music were great with vocalist Bryan Ferry (Virginia Plain, Do the Strand), brings back so many memories! 😊
@@annemaclean6634 it was a great period in music for sure, I loved Roxy Music, Brian Ferry full of charisma on vocals and the crazy Brian Eno on Keyboards, there were so many great bands around then.
@@simply_psi Absolutely! The ones you've mentioned, The Sweet, Mud, Slade, we knew them so well. At the time, I knew every song and singer/band in the Top Twenty, my friends and I religiously watched Top of the Pops, we never missed it, it was a great time!
Yeah boys, now we’re cooking! 😊
Don’t forget Mott The Hoople. :)
I never realized how much the beginning of this song sounds like "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" by Georgia Satellites - which I also highly recommend for a rock song that's a wink and a smile. Love your reactions! 🙂❤
George is right, this song is all about the groove. T. Rex started out as a psychedelic folk duo and then Marc Bolen went solo with his first album Electric Warrior when he switched to electric guitar. The album is fantastic. Other songs to check out: The Slider (absolutely incredible), Telegram Sam, Rabbit Fighter, Lean Woman Blues, Mambo Sun and Rip Off. That can get you started. Marc Bolan and T. Rex are amazing!
Several movies and tv shows have featured this song; it never gets old.✌
Great band! Do more T Rex!
Hi, having lived through the 70's as a teenager I can tell you here in England , Marc Bolan & T.Rex were massive !!! Their albums are absolute classics and so many hit singles in the charts. They were at the top of the Glam Rock music scene. If you only listen to one album, make it "Electric Warrior" .... and if you want more...then "The Slider" is the best follow up. Those 2 albums alone showed the world the genius of Marc Bolan's song writing skills and his stage presence was iconic in the 70's. His hit singles were big, but the album tracks are awesome ! You have a huge rabbit hole to get through. Well worth the journey ! .... Kick of with track 1 from "Electric Warrior" ... called "Mambo Sun" and don't stop. I wore out that album on vinyl that I had to buy it again...then again on cd, remastered. Same with "The Slider". Still today those albums are brilliant ! Marc was a great friend to David Bowie, Ringo Starr and Elton John. He was & is still remembered & loved by millions after his tragic death in a car crash driven by his girlfriend. Marc refused to learn to drive because he feared crashing and being killed. He did know however he would die young. He said in an interview with Russell Harty. I hope you do more music by T.Rex. Thankyou for playing this....& it's called "Get It On" Lol
This song is like candy. You don't mind the repetitiveness ---when in fact - Marc makes you want more!!
I love the difference in Pat's more cerebral way of hearing the music vs. George's mostly physical response. It's interesting to watch and you guys bring up some good points. Such as, in this song, the ability to hear lyrics whilst getting into the groove of just the music. I never gave a second thought to the lyrics in this song until very recently when I watched anothers reaction to "Bang a Gong". I had to look up the lyrics and I was amazed at Bolan's poetry. I've been listening to this song for 50 years and never knew exactly what he was saying!! Kinda proves George's point in that some songs you cannot listen to the music and the lyrics at once.
Cool classic rock/glam! Instantly recognizable riff and chorus. Nice discussion about the song's progression guys. Thanks!!
This is my kind of music...about 1971/72. Just 11/12 years old !!!!
Marc wrote the most bizarre lyrics in history, but they go perfectly with his ridiculously catchy music. Lots of superb songs by this great artist. His song structure was rather simple, but the melodies and riffs carried you through...
Couldn't click fast enough! Love love love me some T Rex. You must do more 😀 Thanks for this guys.
I sometimes go past the tree in barnes just over a small hill where the car he was in crashed and people still put flowers and scarfs on the tree to this day 44 years after he sadly died,his girlfriend who was driving actually survived.
Wow, this one takes me back! Cool, laid back song and beat that was very popular in the US - always on the radio. I do remember the name changing. Nice pick guys and always appreciate your honest reactions☺Keep up the good work!🧡
Luv T-Rex. I know you have done several songs by Aerosmith. If you grab the album Toys in the Attic by them, every song will not disappoint you. Back to the 70's. Can't go wrong.
I admit I googled this. It usually means snorting a line of cocaine. It used to be in the opium houses in which you would bang a gong which made a harmonious sound and meant you were ready for another hit or bang of opium. After all of the years of listening to this song, I never knew this. I've always enjoyed the song for the beat and the smooth lyrics but didn't quite understand it. Now I do! Wow!
Such a great line - *You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl* So many great covers of this song worth checking out. Blondie 1978, Frankie Goes To Hollywood 2009, Santana 2010, Billy Idol 2013. // Best Cover by far *The Power Station - Get It On (Bang A Gong)* and close second *Get It On (Bang A Gong) - London Bus Stop*
such a tune. the hook gets you every time
love them. My best friend had a life size poster of Marc on her wall that she kissed goodnight! Life's a Gas is great but so is Ride a White Swan. It's all good. Another one gone too soon. Ultimate glam, total 70s.
Those are two of my faves also. I loved T-Rex in the 70s and recently started playing them again a lot when we go on road trips, such a great vibe. You might enjoy Sunflower Bean’s cover of Life’s a Gas, very different dreamy kind of feel. That’s become one of my modern day favourites.
Marc Bolan, the singer and guitarist is always all about the groove. Check out "20th Century Boy", "Jeepster" or "The Slider."
Hi guys. Yea bell bottoms and psychedelics. T REX. This track on the album electric worrier in 1971. It was called get it on. and then it was changed to bang a going. For the United States. Bang a going bit of a stupid title if you ask me. B Safe take care. Hope you are all well. From UK 👍👍👍🦋. You've got sweet. Slade.
This song was in the movie soundtrack for "Billy Elliot".
I was in my last year at school, when this was in the charts.
The Powerstation covers this song , and it's even better than the original (which I do love).
My favorite T Rex song
I am watching your channel since the start, always nice to see you enjoy great songs and artists. Greetings from Germany 👍🏼
It’s total ear candy can’t help it 😊
Mark & Howard of The Turtles did the background harmony.
I have a diamond, star and halo tattoo. One of my favouite bands ever.
Could you check out the band "Poets of the Fall" and their music video "Requiem for My Harlequin"
They are a really underappreciated rock band from Finland! The song is the lead single of their 9th studio album "Ghostlight" that was released earlier this year!
Great song! The vid that goes to it is pretty good also, altho very simple as it is just showing their performance of it! Great Glam Rock! Marc Bolan, the lead and founder was a brilliant artist, taken too soon. RIP Marc Bolan🙏
T.Rex - XX century boy, Metal guru.

Suddenly, I need some knee high boots, a mini skirt, and some white lipstick! 😍
I really enjoy your channel. A few suggestions of songs to review….She’s a Beauty by The Tubes, Stay by Shakespeare’s Sister and Just what I needed by the Cars Thanks again for the great content!😊
You need to checkout the old video of them performing this song………
I gave thumbs up before you guys started, I know you and I Know you gonna Love it!
The title of the song is 'Get It On' but was changed to 'Bang A Gong' in the U.S. to placate the more prudish Americans.
Yes, or as I refer to them as the "do as I say --not as I do" Americans...!!
You could react to any of a half-dozen songs from this album that were all stellar. This album was everywhere when I was a kid and it's still om my ipod.
Great reaction.
Epic
❤❤🎉🎉
EVERY girl had a crush on Marc Bolan, me included.. 😊 I love to Boogie is a classic, I still put that on, full blast, to motivate me into cleaning the house....❤️.
Marc Bolan was/is everything 💜
You've gotta follow this up with a reaction to Prince's Cream, a song strongly inspired by this hit
A Gong is like a giant upright symbol
"20th Century Boy" is my favourite TRex song.
Эта музыка использовалась, в фильме Ограбление на Бейкер Стрит( Bank Job, The
Baker Street
D-Notice)
Guys, when will you react to Thin Lizzy? Strongly suggest you “The Rocker” (studio long version - 5 minutes length).
Good song. Love the Power Station cover with Robert Palmer on lead vocals too!
Yeah, totally agree with you guys, the mixing of this song is not ideal. This song is more of a vibe and it could easily have been only 2 and half minutes maybe 3 mins. tops. On the other hand, its one of those song you are glad to have heard and glad it exists. Put it on and dance and don't think too much.
It’s called “Get It On” but the puritan Americans demanded the title be changed,just like the Stones ‘Let’s Spend The Night Together,was changed for the American market to ‘Let’s Spend Some TIME Together, lol.
My favorite T-Rex song has always been "Ride a White Swan", But I love pretty much everything they ever did,
YES
One of their BEST songs.
Good choice
Be well
🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs everyone
Yes great cut
Watch the live version too!
There's a video of them performing this song
Ganga Bong!
The song is actually titled Get It On. It was released in the US under the name Bang a Gong to stop any confusion with a band by the name of Chase who had a song out in the US at the time titled Get It On. Marc Bolan was an amazing performer. Another one taken too young. He died in a car accident on the 16th of September 1977.
I always enjoyed listening to this song . Hope you both like it .
THE POWER STATION DID AN EXCELLENT COVER OF THIS SONG YOU SHOULD CHECKOUT.
Great song of the early 70's when I was in Jr. High School. Marc Bolan was quite the performer.
I think this may be the first time an all rock band almost got funky, without trying...lol
They changed the title to bang a gong to get past the American censors.
Marc Bolen, lead guitars singer died young but left some good music..... "20th Century Boy" is a rocker,too😎😎😎😎
Tony Visconti producer.
Goodie
🥰
Listen to this and then play Oasis, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and see what you think. And if you want to hear Marc Bolan playing a huge guitar solo, try Elemental Child, (studio version , from 2.00 onwards)
You guys haven’t reacted to Kelly Clarkson, right? Fantastic, powerful singer. There’s a song she sings called, Piece By Piece that is her truth. It will be hard to react to it because it will rip your heart. It is an emotional performance and she doesn’t pull any punches. But it is worthy because of the power of her lyrics. Do the live performances from American Idol. Thanks.
I agree Frank - "Piece By Piece" is a heart wrenching song by Kelly. Also love Bonnie Raitt - "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Love Me Like a Man". Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders also does a good one "I'll Stand By You"
@@Jules-um4yy Yes, all these songs are fantastic! I can only hope they react to all the ones you mentioned. But I’m not holding my breath. They seem to prefer to react to rock and roll. I love rock and roll, too, but I also love the ballads. I also love More Than Words by Extreme.
@@M00159 Me too Frank. I am not a patron yet so I am not sure if I hold any weight. I wonder if they ever do live streams? That seems to help bring in more subscribers and lets us interact a bit more with them. I don't even know if you can email them or send a card, etc.
@@Jules-um4yy They haven’t done any live streaming as far as I know, but I agree with you that it would bring in more subscribers for their channel. Maybe they’ll read your comment and think about doing it. I’m kinda surprised they haven’t yet.
@@Jules-um4yy I know people have sent them all sorts of gifts, so there’s an address that people are using.
I never understood much of the verses, but I still love it.
❤🎸👍
👍👍👍👍
Here because of Top Gun: Maverick 🎉
Check out the remake by The Power Station...the T Rex version is smooth...the Power Station version is bangin'!
hehe just posted that before I saw your comment the powerstation version is fire.
There’s more going on than you think.
Trust me…….you must listen to the remake done by The Power Station in the 80’s, they ramp this tune up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. FIRE!
Cool tune - 'glam rock' is not a well known genre & not my favorite; but this tune is groovy;)
Start of Glam Rock.
Reactions led Zeppelin All My Love please...
Hello guys, thank you for your reactions! I enjoy watching your videos! Can you please react to Mike Oldfield TUBULAR BELLS (especially the first part) as well as the very first album from Alan Parsons Project, I am sure you will love both of them !
Also, carry on with Pink Floyd reactions, those are the best!
React to Rabbit Fighter
There must be a reason why your channel is not growing as fast as the rest of the reactors. I mean you've been there for over 2 or 3 years and you haven't reached 50K yet. Not normal IMO. You need to ponder over this. You once reacted to a young girl singing an incredible version of Bohemian rhapsody and you got quite a response from her fans. But that was a one-try reaction, while you should have continued down the rabbit hole. Her version of Elvis's "Suspicious minds" at 16 is amazing. Try other new talents on the scene: Aurora, Diana Ankudinova and others. Maybe you should discuss more about the singer's performance, vocals, tone, pitch etc... rather than the music genre in general (pop, rock, hard rock, metal, R&B, Jazz, etc...). I'm well aware that you're not music coaches, but we expect to be taught something. Bobbing your heads right and left is not gonna cut it it. Good luck, bros.
Hi Hicham, I hear you however I see so many of these channels with half the number of subscribers than these guys and doing it longer. I also see some with three times as many but they have been doing it for five to ten years. Patrick and George have only been doing this for two years. They are slowly building their numbers and of course each channel learns and grows along the way as to what works and what doesn't. They also play young new artists on their other channel. I really don't know any channels that deliver what each viewer wants every time. If there is one let me know!!🙂 There are so many of us and only two of them. I am sure they appreciate your suggestions and let's wish them the best as they navigate the VERY competitive world of reaction videos. Take care 🌿Peace🌌
