FIRST TIME HEARING - T.Rex "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" with LEGENDARY Music Producer Tony Visconti

As we wrap up our amazing conversation and reactions with the iconic record producer, Tony Visconti, we revisit a T. Rex classic that Amber and I reacted to a while ago. This new reaction has a completely different feel to it after hearing the stories Tony shared about how Marc Bolan was as a person and a musician. Standing at only “5 feet 4 and a half”, Marc sounded like an absolute giant, especially on this Top 10 Hit from 1971’s Electric Warrior album, here is “Bang a Gong (Get It On)”.

We launched Rob Squad and The Creators as its own channel because that is what our RSR family wants. We also have been honored to work with the amazing Production Company, F Street Productions, led by Michael Simon and Scott Kushner. Together with F Street, Amber and I have had the honor to react to many iconic songs from the original writers, singers, and producers. The other cool thing is these artists share the behind the scenes of the songs, and as well as other stories during our discussions.
This channel could have never happened without your views and constant support, so from the bottom of Amber’s and my heart, thank you very much! We need people to subscribe to keep this channel going.

Blondie did it live - i think they put on the extended rerelease of the Parrallell Lines album.

You have to know that this was a stone-down dance tune, Robbs. This one got 'em all out on the floor. And although they're not in this clip, Howard Kaylan and Mark Vollman--the singers of The Turtles--have the lead background vocals on the choruses. And "Meanwhile, I'm still thinkin'..." was a line from a Chuck Berry tune.

Holy &^%&* ^%&*$ *&^% *& Tony Visconti!

[@RobSquadandtheCreators]

The LEGEND!!

[@kaspinet]

Are these videos with Visconti showing out of order? There was mention of covering some Bowie songs and there's only two videos listed for the channel. I'd love to see the othe videos.

Marc Bolan sadly died too young and at the peak of his creativity, he was going on to do so much more. ✌️

[@raymondbonington9355]

Bass player Steve curry died in a car accident same as bolan in 1981 , obviously Elton alive as is drummer bill legend .

Please checkout Queen who wants to live forever live in Budapest 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@surlechapeau]

I'm guessing "Jeepster" will be next!

[@andymageen5308]

It’s funny to think that all of those hot girls on Top of the Pops are now in their Seventies. ✌️

[@PanarchyInTheUK]

I was thinking the same! Those young girls with all those dreams, their lives ahead of them 😍

[@Gina-kb9xg]

Getting old is a real bummer … 71 now.. gone are my mini skirts and 6” platform shoes…. 😩😩😩

[@Problembeing]

If Bowie was the Space Commander, Bolan was Ground Control.

[@volkerthienenkamp9720]

First music I ever bought. On cassette 😂
Wonderful to hear Tony. I‘m gonna buy that book.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Tony Visconti is a living Legend!!

[@charlottedixon6628]

So happy to be a part of this⭐ Awesome. 🎶Get It On🎶

[@johnsilva9139]

I believe Visconti attended New Utrecht High School ( it's a public school ) in Brooklyn at the same time as David Geffen. Quite the school for music producers I'd say!

[@AdultThirdCultureKid1971]

Wow! This is excellent! 😍🤩

[@RobSquadandtheCreators]

Thank you! 😄

[@SherriLyle80s]

Such a classic! I notice they use this song a lot for commercials now.

[@AS-bn9qv]

Cat amongst the pigeons here! Ah, Marc BOb Dylan/DyLAN Thomas - - I was a Tyrannosaurus Rex fan - - didn't mind him going electric - - but left him after Electric Warrior, too, too teeny bop, the quest for 'fame' and an enormous ego allied to a mean streak (he treated his first wife June Child appallingly) and likewise his band - - So love hate eh!

[@raymondbonington9355]

Elton John helping out though not on the record .
