This show was broadcast in 1983. The film "Staying alive", Gary Numan's "Warriors" and Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Dear Prudence" were all released in September 1983.
So they gave numan a thumbs down we will soon be moving into 2024 and numan is still getting in the charts with his albums says it all numan really is a musical legend
@@numan6959 yes but those albums are still getting to number one I cant say the same about the other artists in the charts where will they be in 2 years time let alone 40 years time
i love how Julian Temple thinks he's so cool by trashing everything From the Beatles to Siouxie and the Banshees and now makes films about oh-so cool 70 something Keith Richards for the oh-so cool BBC. How ages changes us.
Great that M A stuck up for Dear Prudence. One of my fav covers of a song and the vid went brilliantly with it...J T had a burning vendetta for all and sundry.
Numan is playing Wembley next year and he is cited by artists across all genres as a huge influence to them musically over the last 40 years, Almond is/was a pompous little shit stain who barely registers on the music scene these days.
@@replicas11 yeah, his jealousy is clearly seen here. Catty little girl. I think it’s hilarious. In retrospect, it is sad though for his description of Gary's personality as being detached. Well, the dude (Gary) has Asperger's, so…
Annabel and Marc made interesting contributions which indicated that they'd given some critical thought to what they'd actually been watching whereas Julian Temple was a completely pompous waste of space "Why am I being asked to comment on this video?"...FFS.
Temple is just mimicking the music press at the time. the Banshees had became a target for their dislike and he just jumped on the bandwagon. nothing original in his assessment. it's typical in the UK, you have about three or four albums and they turn on you.
@@drexlspivey5828 See You, the Meaning of Love, and Leave in Silence. Those videos definitely didn’t help the “cutesy boys next door” image of their early career. He probably thought they’d become “promosexuals” when they finally came into their image. Personally, i must admit though, i have an affection for The Meaning Of Love, as i think its quite cute. i like the scene where the wife character throws something at the television and the band on screen all duck. … its a pretty dumb video lol
I love Soft Cell and Marc was a great pop star but he is just a bitter queen. His bashing of Gary Numan about his leather etc wasn't needed. When Julian didn't like Siouxsie Marc had a fit but his behaviour for everyone else was just the same as Julian's.
I remember this so well. Marc being the bitchy queen you knew he would be. The irony is, would Soft Cell have had any success if it hadn't been for Numan? So many synth bands came after Numan had made electronic music commercial and popular, but unlike him, most have long gone. Almond likes to think of himself as a 'serious' musician, but it's Numan who is now rightly regarded as being innovative, with musicians such as Prince, Lady GaGa, Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor all saying that Numan was a massive influence on them. The "Warriors" album wasn't the best thing Numan has ever recorded, but he was trying to do something a little bit different to what he had released previously and despite not being entirely successful, it was at least an attempt at progression.
Oh come f+++ing on... Yes, Numan's one of the post-punk icons, yes, he'd had hits and was super cool at times, we all love his (selected) music, but "hadn't it been for Numan", I am absolutely sure the likes of Soft Cell and many others would have found their way anyhow - and they did... What's Numan's success got to do with any of that?! Maybe hadn't it been for Kraftwerk (and Bowie) would have been a far more precise assumption... Numan, like Soft Cell, was influenced and inspired... Soft Cell already had a solid club hit ("Memorabilia") before storming the world with "Tainted Love"... People should stop being so oversensitive when it comes to Numan - while remarks about him here (and in many other situations throughout that time) were downright rude, giving Numan all that much credit for "creating synth-pop" is just exaggerated. And where on earth did you read Numan was a "massive influence" on Prince?! Prince could have possibly appreciated Numan to an extent - after all, it was Numan who in later years dared covering some of Prince's songs and oh boy, did he do a dreadful job or what... I believe Prince wasn't that happy about it...
You really have no place to talk about Gary Numan., a world renown artist/composer Marc as you yourself are no music composer.... you are merely a singer/lyricist as I am
Pardon? Marc writes most of the songs he sings. He might need help with arrangements but he writes both music and lyrics. Check out his Mother Fist LP. Extraordinary.
@@davidserlin8097 yes you’re absolutely correct and what an arrogant comment coming from someone as non-renowned as I. I am known in certain cultish followings in certain places in Europe but not nearly to the extent as someone such as Marc Almond. I really didn’t know at the time that I’d written this comment that he was a music composer as well as much as I would listen to Soft Cell/The Mamba’s/& The Willing Sinners. Thanks thank you for also reminding me of this and I didn’t write this with the intention of offending the audience as I thought more would share my view on Marc’s arrogance here but yet I was coming off rather so when I have no room for such ownership
"There's no band more enigmatic than The Banshees!" Absolutely!
5:16 “Judging by mr Ravolta’s recent interviews where he bares all but his brains” Marc is so funny and he’s a really good speaker too.
i love marc his comment on john's dancing was too funny XD and the gary numan vid was a nice suprise! dont insult him almond i love you both haha

I never heard of Ms. Lamb, but Almond and Temple are still making art.
I remember this from the day it was broadcast. I love Marc - he is very funny here, I wonder what he think about this now.
So they gave numan a thumbs down we will soon be moving into 2024 and numan is still getting in the charts with his albums says it all numan really is a musical legend

"like a shimmering sort of whirpool"
"I dont agree. he approaches every dance routine like hes about to do a karate chop on a block of concrete"
Catty catty lads...gotta luv it...Julien and Marc are a gas 😂
Mr Temple is so incredibly bitter here.
GREAT MARC AND ANNABEL, SUPORT SIOUX!!!!!!!
Great that M A stuck up for Dear Prudence. One of my fav covers of a song and the vid went brilliantly with it...J T had a burning vendetta for all and sundry.
MARC'S LOVE FOR SIOUXSIE IS FIERCE MEOW!
Wow, Marc Almond really had it in for Gary Numan.......so harsh!!

I think this was broadcast on Wednesday 21st September 1983.
What the hell does Julien Temple actually like?
Jelly and ice cream?
Marc is definitely on acid. Good on him. Any sane person would be unable to take such a setting seriously.
So funny, you go Marc haha I remember this so well
Well, Go Marc you tell 'em. lol.
Temple is just mimicking the music press at the time. the Banshees had became a target for their dislike and he just jumped on the bandwagon. nothing original in his assessment. it's typical in the UK, you have about three or four albums and they turn on you.
Russ Meyer directed the opening to the great rock and roll swindle after he got into it with Sid vicious.
Though personally I like the rolling stones. They’re great.
Gary Numan is having the last laugh.
This is utterly cringe-worthy...but I watched the whole thing! Thanks for uploading. :-)
I love 5:30 so funny 😂😂😂 I love marc almond so much!
Julian Temple making a new video for the stones. Err Julian this is 1983, not 1966 and it’s not the 1970s either.
Does anyone know who done the theme tune for this tv show?
If it's the same as in the other videos, it's Don't Say That's Just For White Boys ( by Way of the West ).
Wow! Great track. Thanks for your help.
Temple would go on to make the monumental flop Absolute Beginners and bankrupt the film studio
Oh dear. The creator of the three worst Depeche Mode videos is so lofty and arrogant...
Out of interest, which video's?

This host is dead boring. Julian is rude and has a dry personality! Marc is fabulous! Annabella is pleasant enough.
Stomach pump Mark?
Did you actually believe that story or did it just titillate you?

julien is incredible bland in his bashing tho lol

And even Bowie made some crap albums in his time.
@@luciferbox5577 and no Bowie no Numan.

Marc Almond where are you know eh? Humourless Gary Numan can still get albums in the top 10 here in the UK what have you done sonny Jim?
Julian Temple seems such a mardy arse. At one point he looked like he was about to start crying.
You really have no place to talk about Gary Numan., a world renown artist/composer Marc as you yourself are no music composer.... you are merely a singer/lyricist as I am
You are clueless
