Sting like a bee, oh babe, I wanna be your maan!
So, I've developed this almost new obsession with glam~ Slade... T.Rex... you name it.
Speaking of T.Rex and the super cool Marc Bolan-- I give you lovely people, 20th Century Boy:
This was the first T.Rex song that I can recall hearing. I adore Marc Bolan, he was a master at taking the simplest things (like frickin' 12 bar blues) and making it pretty much amazing. I mean, Bang a Gong (Get it On), is PURE and SIMPLE dirty, 12 bar blues. I just wish more people would get "the blues in their shoes and their stockin's"...
Rant time: I hate all these people that think they're these big ol' metal heads, and rock fans, and they don't even understand that it's all based on the blues. I mean, I gueeesss I understand if you just don't like the blues, but you better not say that and then call yourself a Led Zeppelin fan. IT'S THE BLUES, PEOPLE!!
...Aye...
That's all I have to say about it, I mean, the video speaks for itself: He's a weird guy, who reminds me of Fez and Billy Squier's love-child (mostly at the "20th centuryy tooooy, I wanna be your boooy"--- parts).
Note: There was previously a link to a Bang a Gong (Get it On) tablature for guitar, but the site it was attached to is being idiotic, and I can't seem to find one another place, so you'll just have to wait for me to use my tab book to tab the song for you. Don't hold your breath.
