Band Name Origins:
- Marc Bolan, who was very much into mythic history, fantasy and science fiction, chose Tyrannosuarus Rex because he basically thought it was so amazing that a beast that size roamed the earth so many years before. The band name was truncated to T.Rex in the early 70's when Bolan's producer Tony Visconti came up with the shortened version during recording sessions. Initially, Bolan balked at the shortened name but relented because DJ's and T.Rex's new fan-base of teen followers had an easier time saying T.Rex. Submitted by: Paul Jensen
