T-Rex: The Tragic Death of Marc Bolan

His gfwas so level headed h would call it quits after 1 drink... what's the point of staying sober & level headed just to let ur drunk af bf drive u both home anyway?!?

I remember the first time I heard ‘bang a gong’. I loved T Rex and Marc Bolan. RIP

With lyrics like "Automatic Shoes " that have intrigued me all my life 😊❤

The man was a legend!So glad they put him in the rock hall of fame

Get it On!

Its sorta expected that bolts and stuff is going to be outta wack after a crash
I loved this guy as a teenager and still. Why do people have to blame someone or something for bad stuff .its not going to help anyone's soul to sue for a bunch of cash it's not bringing no one back

I was going to the gymnasium in the morning when I saw in the window near squere 5 well. I buy a newspaper and sit on the ancient Roman ruins (Zadar-Croatia.then Yugoslavia) and read. I am cry like baby. Missed for 3 hours and went to school crying

Love t-rex and marc bolan still listen to the slider my all time fav album miss you marc wish you were still with us

Nolan was British—- fool

All the members of T Rex are sadly no longer with us

Gloria was his downfall 😢

Marc Bolan was a great talented singer. The tragedy would have been prevented if his girlfriend, Gloria, was not driving while having alcohol in her system. Marc should have worn a seatbelt. It also does not make sense for a man to have women driving them. It is bad enough that she and him have a child without being married. I am only having children with my husband but we will have them after getting married. I would not drive a man even if he was drunk. This is why people need to not drink alcohol and stop using other drugs especially if they are driving any vehicle. She should have been in jail, and his family should have sued her. We need to do everything we can to avoid these situations because it is happening to much.

The video says that she wasn’t intoxicated and had had only one drink. Then why didn’t she attend the hearing where she had been formally accused as being “unfit to drive”? Instead she fled to America before the hearing. Just what an innocent person would do?

I realise and understand the reluctance due to licensing and copyright issues, but this video would have been elevated with Bolan’s actual music and some live performance recordings. Still, good and interesting though.

Tony Visconti legend

Very interesting R N R TS! Thank you.

Basically a One Hit Wonder Band with 'Get it On', back in 1971.

💚

From a historical perspective, Bolan did well to die young. Judging by his double-chin at age 29, he would have eventually become, physically, a cookie-monster representation of Piers Morgan. But from a musical perspective, he'd lost it by Tanx in '73 - probably due to overuse of drugs. Not to denigrate his contribution to rock history, I am a huge fan. But his death wasn't "tragic." It was instantaneous and he no longer cares what happens to his image. But his image is and always will be - eternally youthful and talented. Good for him, I still love his classics and listen to them regularly.

luv channel's images to emphasize emotion & actions: "mom had (*british) food stall" = *tacos.

Effectively Gloria killed him....
What a thing to have to live with and explain to their child....

He was a musical
Genius ❤️

Four A.M. Sleep deprived. And poor car maintenance. Not rocket science.

Probably the tyre lost air and nuts got loose because of the crash.

ÕMĞ I waz Born in Hackney too LOL

"Clear Minded Múŕřiķáń Outlook" LOL what the Hell that Supposéd to Mean SMH

😂😂😃😃😃😂😂😄😄😄😁😟😰😩😧😧😳😵😶💩💩💩

Anyone else notice the OWL beside Producers telephone? Satanic 👿

How could someone with such a gentle and polite talking voice belt out the songs as he did ?? I remember the first time I heard him talking and was gobsmacked 😂 He had something uniquely special about him . His prescious spirit is safe in God's care . 🕊️

Interesting and informative. Thanks.

Loved him ❣️❣️❣️

My big brother talked about marc bolland but I was too young to understand.

OK, what is up with the taco making video in North London?! Was that a thing back in the 40's/50's there back then? Is there a secret that I have never heard about?
Either way, that was a terrible tragedy. RIP Marc Bolan. Please always check your tires before taking off everyone.

T- Rex

I just really discovered this band a few days ago. I’m totally hooked

I Liked Bay City Rollers. Bowie. Marc Bolan too❤. Drink? Drug? Driving? Cat?

driving isnt dangerous, thats why 16b yolds can

I'm 52 this track my birthyear,this GORGEOUS Marc Bolan is my musician hero from the start our dutch radio Stations played it a lot on and on.
i was aware of this song
when i was 3. Just 2 years
before his tragic death.
Much later i saw it back and thought, "I've always looked at him as beautiful. I love masculine femmine men! Not to much testosterone. He was that type. Kind, talented, intelligent his son
is also musician. So sad
he couldn't enjoy his child. Marc knew he wouldn't grow old, sadly he was right. Marc is my 4ever loved Musician ever lived!. ❤🎼🎙🎸

Lean woman blues is my favorite tune and I play it on guitar which I learned by ear .

How was he related to Rachel Bolan of skid row?

RIP

Don't want to watch this😪😥😢😥

T ReX Electric Warrior stands as a High Watermark and transcends the “Glam” label. It’s Iconic!

I was brought up with this awesome music ❤

Takes me bk to my youth fantastic artist rip

Why would anyone say “His mother was English and his father was Jewish” I didn’t realise Jewish was a nationality. You do know you can be both English AND Jewish right! 😂😂😂

Sorry for this, but the joke at the time went (tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree)

I was absolutely besotted with t.rex and marc bolan in the early 70s , i am now 70yrs old and and looking back over 50 years I'm totally convinced marc was a wonderful talent and a genuine trail blazer in music, R.I.P. marc you were and still are a very important part of my life.. thanks for the memories

It still defies belief, all these years later, that his life ended in such a way. Boy oh boy, we lost someone special that day. I remember the newspaper headlines. Absolutely awful. So damn young, so young.
