Dr. Stephen Stokes DC I think his Music was like A Gothic David Bowie. But as a person I wouldn't Say His Even remotely like Bowie. Both Are great In there own ways though.
@@joseboggiosequeira4050 By that logic, anyone who wears makeup and makes music copies Bowie, including those before him. I don't believe in this "master" sentiment. Bowie was and always will be one of the greatest musicians in history, but like anyone he had his flaws.
Stern unicorn a “gothic David Bowie” that sounds like a terrible assessment. Embarrassed for you. I loved Gary Numan and the tubeway army and hearing goth and Bowie has to be a low blow to Gary.
"One group, I don't know if you've seen or heard of them - INXS"!! That's quite funny hearing that, considering how they skyrocketed into international stardom. Also luckily for the music world, Gary did indeed continue touring eventually.
The hating critics they mentioned at the top of the interview played a role in shortening Gary's career. Thankfully, his music has stood the test of time.
"Flying I got my flying licence in 1980 and flew around the world with my co-pilot, Bob Thompson, the year after. We actually had two attempts and succeeded the second time in my Piper Navajo (model, pictured below). On the first attempt in another aeroplane I owned, a Cessna 210 Centurion, we got as far as India before being arrested on suspicion of smuggling and spying. We went the other way on the second attempt and it took us about two months to complete the whole journey, with 50-plus stops. We arrived back on Christmas Eve 1981 and I remember thinking I'd get a hero's welcome, but there was nothing of the sort. When I was a kid it was big news when someone flew around the world in a little aeroplane, but nobody cared when I did it. Then to rub salt into my wounds the customs people ripped my aeroplane to pieces, looking for stuff. "
Darn it Molly you didn't laugh at Garys jokes, I love his smile when he says 'we had a good week once.' 😄 I honestly never thought Garys sound resembled Bowies, their music was not similar, neither were their personalities. To be honest I think a lot of people drew that conclusion based solely upon their looks. They both had delicate beauty but were still masculine which is an incredibly rare trait. The flawless alabaster skin, tall and slender figure, exquisite writers hands, a wide and toothy smile, full lips, sharp jawline, high cheekbones, shaped brows and last but certainly not least those striking eyes you could spot from across a room. The physical resemblance was quite obviously there, but besides that they were both individualistic in their music and personalities. That uniqueness they had is something I admired about both Bowie and Numan, there was nobody else like either of them. They were pioneers of their genres but their sound continued to evolve as the years passed so their material was always fresh and unexpected. Bless you Gary, you are a treasure 💎
His speaking voice is sensual and soothing
He's so soft spoken!! What a neat and talented guy!!
So cute how he was and still is so humble
I couldn't say anything different!

❤️❤️🖤🖤
His voice is very soothing when he talks too.
oh wow, he's so shy, its very cute and i love that fact that fame hasnt change him at all
he is so beautiful.
He was so unassuming but on stage so dynamic!
This man is a national treasure.
I am glad he is in my country, now.
Same
@Point Venus Well, he lives in America now, so there.
0:23 he was the man outside in a long coat gray hat smoking a cigarette
Yeah, that character he played was a ghost he saw in the underground. He's even standing next to the Park on the cover for Replicas.
Don't smoke, Gary doesn't
So humble then, glad to see nothing much has changed except he keeps getting better and better.
Hats off to you mr Webb
I love him so much, what an icon; He is very inspiring for people, like me, who have also lived with Asperger’s syndrome too.
Such a humble guy, so soft spoken and sincerely nice... Not like David Bowie in any way

That's Jean-Michel Jarre's music in the background. Magnetic Fields
Its Equinoxe Part 5
but it's an odd version. Sounds like a guitar cover.

Broken Britain, back in the eighties it was in self destruct mode with our own artists.
Wonder if Gary Numan went to see INXS?.
one of the earliest references to INXS surely.. fair play to the interviewer, i don't know his name.
The interviewer is Molly Meldrum, who hosted the Australian music TV show 'Countdown' from 1974 to 1987.
So Humble.... I love him. I'm Mexican
What does you being Mexican have to do with it?
@@v-town1980 lol such a weird thing to say
I thought he’d have a deeper voice
robert carradine aka lewis ee ee ee

Bad form wearing a hat indoors.
