Talk:T.Rex (band)

message: A paragraph from the current article:
In The summer of 1976, T.Rex released two more singles, "I Love To Boogie" (which charted At No.13 and would appear on the Dandy In The Underworld album) And "Laser Love" which only scraped to No. 42. In early 1977. His final album "Dandy in The Underworld" was released to great critical acclaim. Bolan had now slimmed down and regained his elfin beauty.
Two main things amongst a few minor things: one issue is the reference to a release of T. Rex as a release of "him," as in one person.  The second problem is the last sentence here.  Is that just me or is it completely ridiculous.  If you agree, I say change the article.
Yes, it does.88.109.61.161 22:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In the section "What Comes After Up," someone has appended "i smell of cheese." I will delete this, but perhaps keep an eye open for other defacements.

message: Of all the descriptors I've heard of this band, and the genre they've reputedly started, "Pixie Rock" is NOT one of them. As far as I know, it's Glam Rock; as in David Bowie and Roxy Music. Anyone have a source for that classification? --Addama 16:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Article says that this album was released on 7 July 1968. However, the copyright on the CD is 1967. How can the CD have a copyright of 1967 if it wasn't released until the middle on 1968? James Richardson 11:06, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea what the correct release date was, but the copyright could well be dated to when the recording was made, since that's when it was created. —Whouk (talk) 12:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

text: According to Cliff McLenehan's book "Marc Bolan 1947-1977: A Chronology", My People album was released July 1968 and if you check out the 2004 edition of the CD, it says the original release date was 1968. —Ericp 16:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe we should add a little trivia section about the band. I just realized for the first time that the T. Rex is mentioned in The Who song You Better You Bet (kind of funny), which would be something mentioned in the trivia section. RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 00:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There's no mention of albums in T. Rex's name (or Marc Bolan's) after 1977. I was looking to see Born to Boogie listed, the 1991 release on Marc CD 514. -- Mickraus 13:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the article, "Baby Strange" includes the lyrics: "don't lay me, Baby Strange".Actually, it's "don't lame me,"

thread_title:  Objectionable content? 

message: The urban myth that the phrase "foxes from a tree" was Marc foretelling his own demise should not be perpetuated here.
for reference here are the words
===Solid gold easy Action===
Life is the same
And it always will be
Easy as picking foxes from a tree
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action
A stud is a lamb
With the thoughts of a tiger
Who moves like a cat
And knows how to ride her
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby
Stroll on
I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action
A woman from the east with her headlights shining
Eased my pain and stopped my crying
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby
And all my hair will keep her smiling
With my wondrous walk and my telephone dialling
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action, baby
Stroll on
No reference to the 'fear of dying in a car crash' - sorry, the FOXES reference is just a cool line, it's coincidental that the car index number contained FOX. Splodgeness (talk) 14:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: If I started my own band, using the name T-Rex, would I get my own section in this article? This has nothing to do with T.Rex the band, which ended in 1977... the history of T.Rex stops there.
They are a tribute band at best. Wouldn't there need to be sections on T.Rextasy, Too Rex, Hot Love (etc.) ?
Who's in charge of what content is appropriate to this article?? Who's in charge of Marc Bolan's legacy? It can be EASILY distorted to the next generation via this misinformation online!

replies: text: I'm guessing that if you were once a member of T.Rex and started a band with another former T.Rex band member and used T-Rex as part of your band name, then you would indeed get a mention on the page.  Otherwise, I doubt it.  Inclusion does not equal support or anything else.  The band is mentioned due to the genealogy of the group.  In fact, I would think given your feelings on the subject, you would appreciate the fact that the band's origins are detailed so that people can be informed that Mickey Finn's T-Rex is not T.Rex, but related only due to a couple of members.  Note that the Discography and Member History does not include this group, as it shouldn't.  KieferFL (talk) 03:12, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the interview and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section on this page.
