Morrissey
"Well, T Rex were very special to me because they were the first group I saw
in '72. So... very passionate moment for me. I was 12 and a half I think at
the time which is quite young to see somebody like that because he was quite
wild in his own way.
In a quote from "Smiths" guitarist and co-writer Johnny Marr discussed Marc's influence on the band
"The influence of T-Rex is very profound on certain songs of The Smiths I.e.
"Panic" and "Shoplifters". Morrissey was himself also mad about Bolan. When
we wrote "Panic" he was obsessed with "Metal Guru" and wanted to sing in the
same style. He didn't stop singing it in an attempt to modify the words of
"Panic" to fit the exact rhythm of "Metal Guru". He also exhorted me to use
the same guitar break so that the two songs are the same!!!"
- Johnny Marr, Les Inrockuptibles, 4/21/99
