T-Rex On TV (DVD)

T Rex, music of the seventies and beyond

Advantages: Changed the sound of music in the seventies
Disadvantages: Died young so where would the music have gone if he lived?

while unfit she never returned to England to face the charge. This means that a young man who had a lot to live for and a lot of music to make died and no one paid for his death. Shortly after he died fans of Marc Bolan broke into his home and stole most of his possessions. How sad for his family and friends to have this done. My first memory of T Rex then called Tyrannosaurus Rex was early in the 1970?s when a friend and I used to regularly go dancing. There we were, sweet sixteen, although I wouldn?t say never been kissed, in our hot pants, our high heels, catching the bus to the nearest town to dance the night away. There were many songs but one of my favourite, which was played over and over, was Ride a White Swan, something completely different, with undertones of love and lust. Teenagers all over, wearing satin and sequins to ...

Review of T-Rex - T-Rex

T. Rex's Best Album

Advantages: a great overall album, some great songs
Disadvantages: Some repetitive songs

1. Mambo Sun: This song is quite typical T-Rex, with its pulsing rhythm and lilting guitars; it very much encapsulates the early 70?s glam rock era, so perhaps would only appeal to people who are interested in this era. The lyrics are typically rather cryptic and very abstract. This song is not particularly stunning, and definitely not one of the better tracks on the album. 2. Cosmic Dancer: Quite a slow, relaxed song with acoustic guitars and violin accompaniment. Marc Bolan?s voice is great on this song and is a very good example of his very distinctive singing style. I should imagine that this song has a wider appeal as it seems to me to be less dated now than many of the other songs on this album, and it was used in the film ?Billy Elliot?. I like this song a lot; it has quite a languid feel to it ? great for chilling out to. I ...

Review of Electric Warrior - T. Rex

A T-Rex 'ellent night at the museum

Advantages: Funny, Great Cast
Disadvantages: Slow start

sent to the museum he gets a job as the Night Watchman. He is given the basic outline of the job by Cecil who is played by Dick Van Dyke (Best known for Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Cecil currently works the night shift along with Gus (Mickey Rooney) and Reginald (Bill Cobbs). But due to cutbacks the museum only needs 1 night watchman and so the older men are retiring. Larry wasn't exactly applying for the night shift, but begrudgingly accepts the job out of desperation. This is when the fun starts! The museum is not as it seems. Basically all the exhibits come to life as soon as the sun goes down and turn back to exhibits as the sun comes up. Larry discovers this as he is being chased by the bones of a T-Rex! Larry sees it as a nightmare job and the museum is in complete chaos for the first few shifts. He narrowly ...
