TRM Round 1: T. Rex the band vs. Prehistoric Park (Matilda)

T. Rex the band – Though not really a T. rex (and incorrectly capitalized), this English band from the 1970s still warrants inclusion for their pioneering of glam rock and hit songs like “Ride a White Swan” and “Get it On.” Other than the fact that they began as Tyrannosaurus Rex and later shortened the name to T. Rex, I can find nothing on why the name was chosen. Maybe Marc Bolan just liked dinosaurs.

Prehistoric Park (Matilda) – In true Tyrannosaurus form, Matilda makes herself a menace in the otherwise peaceful, if chaotic, sanctuary for prehistoric life. Not content to only attack her brother, Terrence, Matilda breaks out yet again in the final episode, threatening Head Keeper Bob and many of the other animals. Her rampage is thwarted by Martha the mammoth, who defends a baby elephant, and Nigel, who manages to lead her back to containment.

i once again don’t remember if i posted this here but i babygirled Steve Took

[bow-echo]

A very young Stephen Ross Porter (1949-1980) in 1950. What a cutie. Just... just look at that impressive head of hair, enough for five babies!

Tyrannosaurus Rex. Teenage percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Steve Peregrin Took (and his bushels of hair and fab nose) with Marc Bolan (1947-1977) , ~ 1968. He was replaced by Mickey Finn in 1969.

Steve in 1974. I'm envious of his nice hands.

With Marc in 1977 (colorized) Steve's life was one hell of a tragedy brought on by poor life choices. He died in 1980 after choking on a maraschino cherry while under the influence of shrooms and morphine.

T. Rex - Electric Warrior (1971)

Fifty-three years ago this week, on September 24, 1971, Electric Warrior, the second studio album by T. Rex and sixth since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex, was released. A marked turning point for the Bolan and the band, the album is a departure from their folk roots and pioneers a vibrant, flamboyant glam-rock style. The UK’s best-selling album of 1971, the album hit number one on the back of its number one single, “Get It On,” which remains the band’s sole North American hit. Hugely influential, both musically and stylistically, the album is generally considered one of the best records of all time.

Dinosaur AU

Gaz and Soap are both hadrosaurs, Gaz is a parasaurolophus and Soap is a lambeosaurus. Price is a styracosaurus. They banded together to help protect other herbivores from a growing threat called the Shadow Clan, a mixed pack of dromaeosaurs lead by a utahraptor called Graves. The dromaeosaurs who follow him mostly consist of velociraptors called Shadows.

Price, Gaz, and Soap were cornered by Shadows, Soap severely injured and if Price and Gaz made the wrong move they would have an opening. Soap was telling them to leave him when, suddenly, a massive tyrannosaurus rex attacked the Shadows. They thought they were done for considering the might've had a chance with the Shadows but this guy? Price was ready to try to give Gaz and Soap a chance to escape when the rex just started to leave?

They were confused and the rex stopped and glared at them, "Get the fuck out of here."

Then he was gone.

Their saving grace was the king of killers. He killed the Shadows and chased off the rest before just leaving. Soap had suffered heavy blood loss but managed to jokingly call the guy a ghost before Price and Gaz managed to get to him to a safer location.

Michael Norman Mickey Finn (3 June 1947 – 11 January 2003)[1] was an English musician. He was best known as the percussionist and sideman to Marc Bolan in his band Tyrannosaurus Rex (on one album, A Beard of Stars) and later the 1970s glam rock group T. Rex. After Bolan's death and T. Rex's demise, he worked as a session musician for The Blow Monkeys and The Soup Dragons.

SINCE ILL BE TALKING ABOUT THEM FOR A BIT!! HERE IS THE HEVISAURUS MASTERPOST FOR ALL MY MUTUALS THAT HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FUCK IM TALKING ABOUT:

Hevisaurus: the OG finnish band, the one that started it all :) (2009-present, for the most part)

Heavysaurus: the german version (2018-present)

Heavysaurios: the spanish (argentinian) version (2010?-present-ish*)

*so heavysaurios recently went through some deep crazy shit where the contract with the original members expired, and now i believe the band is being run under new people?? its so fucking weird. i'm trying to find more info about it

theres also discontinued swedish and hungarian versions of the band, but i don't talk about them so much. oh and the elusive english version, which technically exists but doesn't but does?

SauruXet: a copyright dispute between the original creators of hevisaurus and sony, the label they're under, broke out sometime in 2011, leading to the creation of sauruxet (a stylization of "saurukset" meaning dinosaurs/saurs). it was broken up in 2012 when sony won the dispute and the members either quit or returned under hevisaurus.

Herra Hevisaurus (also called Mr Heavysaurus or Mr Heavysaurios depending on the band): lead singer tyrannosaurus rex, most likely played by Olavi Tikka and has been for almost the entirety of the band

Riffi Raffi: guitarist dragon, originally played by Nino Laurenne but is most likely now played by either Kimmo Nissinen or Mika Tyyskä

Muffi Puffi: bassist stegosaurus, was likely originally played by Pasi Heikkilä but is now played by Vesa Kuhlman? (need to do more research on that)

Milli Pilli: keyboardist triceratops, was likely originally played by Emilia Takayama but is now played by Hanna Risku

Komppi Momppi: drummer apatosaurus, was originally played by Mirka Rantanen but is likely now played by Ville Siuruainen

i dont have the names of the people involved in the other versions but hopefully soon...
