Reacting to Cars by Gary Numan featuring Nine Inch Nails! EPIC!!

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

Beast duet!! I can't get over how epic this is!

[@garycoates4987]

I think I'm in love with you,,, at least in love with your musical taste
:)
you should watch the video from this show of the Numan song "Metal"

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

Thank you! Wait until you see what is coming!

[@suziejane1008]

Love this

[@mannyprego9013]

Watching the video it seems obvious everyone was enjoying themselves. I've been a gary Numan fan since the Tubeway Army days, he still rocks.

[@davidororey1596]

I Hope your a Numan fan I have been since 2001. Cars is by far not his best by far. NIN and Gary also did I Die: You Die together on some shows on that tour plus Down In The Park and Metal all better then Cars and many more! I been drumming for 20 or 25 years and have natural rhythm should check out my Numan Drum Covers in public and others!

[@exile220ify]

Fun fact: Trent Reznor brought in a vintage 70's era Polymoog synthesizer for Gary to play on, just for this gig.

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

Cool

[@chrishack6825]

It was Shaun Brooks who offered the 280a Keyboard for the gig.

[@rockeruss555]

Wow!

[@davidanderson1639]

Fun Fact: I’m on the front row of this video, just in front of Gary Numan (white iPhone in hand).
As a huge NIN & Gary Numan fan this blew my mind; I’ve seen both live multiple times, but this was something special.
First we got ‘Metal’ & the straight into ‘Cars’ without missing a beat.

[@acslatz]

When I listen to the Gary Numan/NIN version of Cars, my neighbors do as well.

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

Hahahaha!!!! Awesome!!👏🏻

[@cameronmoffett181]

Hell yes! I blasted this out the window when I was (9 I think) in the Summer of ( 1980ish). I felt such a rush that I thought I was doing something wrong.

As it should be!

[@rebellucy5610]

The drummer is banging like John Bonham. Amazing performance!

[@doddyznp518]

Omar is amazing

[@BrandonJFlores]

Ilan sites John Bonham as one of his main influences ;)

[@andreasboose5611]

The Drummer is absolutely incredible ❤

[@timothyrobbins2510]

Just imagine going on stage 4 decades after this hit was released and having a group as good as NIN playing the song you wrote with you to a packed crowd in such a freakin awesome performance!
Best feeling ever I can imagine. What a guy and what a band .

[@nwcoastlife]

For context: He had not performed for a crowd that size in over 20 years and all of them, most of whom weren’t even alive when “Cars” was originally released are going apeshit over his performance. It was the spark that lit the flame that became “Splinter” and “Savage” one of my favorite comebacks by a musician ever. Check out the documentary “Android in La La land”.

[@777triathlete]

Thank you for this comment! Just found Android in La La Land on Paramount + and watching now!

[@chemicalBR0]

Trent is a huge Numan fan
fun fact when Gary was in a bit of a rut musically his wife was playing NIN upstairs (head like a hole) and Gary rushed upstairs shouting who the hell is that.
his music took a more industrial heavy feel after that.
Gary credits NIN for getting him out of that rut and afterward he and Trent became good friends. which ultimately led up to this gig

[@Ckom-Tunes]

It’s sounds like a band having even more fun than the audience!
These cats are playin’!

[@theotherwayofstopping4717]

God, I cannot believe this song is 41 years old...........the original 1979 video was the intro to the 80s....so good.

[@WASPS1867]

I was at this gig and when Gary came on it was epic

[@dougrussell1926]

This blew me away the first time I watched it, what an amazing performance.

[@jameshowland7393]

Me too! I kept playing it over and over. Being a drummer and bass player I am in Heaven listening to this!

[@DarkOmenX]

actually it sound much better then in the 80ties as NIN kicked in additional dynamics uplifting the whole thing to a different level , amazing!

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

I couldn't believe when I saw it. I was gonna use the original but saw the NIN and couldn't resist. Definitely amazing!

[@danielsherwood3460]

I think this version is actually better than the original. And that drummer is amazing. What an awesome video.

[@davidkendrick4453]

Gary Numan is one of Trent Reznor's major influence. For Reznor, this is like playing catch with your childhood favorite baseball player.
And I understand the drummer had to spend three days in the hospital recuperating.

[@jameshowland7393]

Ilan Rubin is beating those drums like they owe him money!

[@chrisrus1965]

That's a good analogy. I heard when Reznor first got big he immediately sought Numan out and whaddya know Numan had been an avid fan of NIN from the beginning so psyched to meet you too wow let's just hang out and before you knew it the synergy produce the last three or four amazing Numan albums ALL of which sound like NIN and Numan moved to LA and they still hang out all the time.

[@portland-182]

Your smile and enthusiasm are infectious, true joy beams out of you. Loving the channel.

[@user-ld1fb6uc7g]

Thank you for that. I never knew (or imagined) these artists did a duet. Fantastic!

[@labgrunt1961]

This video is so F*UCKING AWESOME! The crowd seemed curious during the lead-in, but as soon as the drummer hit those three snare beats, the mosh pit kicked in and it was entirely epic!! Wish I had been there. OMG! A song from 1979 being played by NIN and Gary and they ABSOLUTELY KILL THAT SONG!! Loving the guitar tone and skill, since basically the entire original song was played by some kind of synthesizer. The drummer is absolutely killing it, as is the bassist. And Reznor...how freaking cool do you have to be, Trent?! And put the GUNS away, brother!! :) In short, I was whisked back to 1979 while listening to this song collaboration over 100 times. (Don't you judge me). I keep finding more and more ways that it is so incredibly awesome and cool! Cat, you also need to check out the collab between Foo Fighters and Rick Astley performing the song Never Gonna Give You Up. Also pretty epic...Thanks for this!!

[@freyml]

Absolutely agree! The drummer and bass player are. Killing. IT!!

[@jameshowland7393]

Those 3 beats are known all over the world!

[@richey4287]

Thanks for reacting to Gary. Such a unique voice and talent. His latest work has a heavier sound but still so distinct - and still plenty of synths 😁 This was the first single I ever bought as a kid in 1979

[@garycoates4987]

YES!!!
"Cars" was one of the songs that changed my life
I still have the 45 I bought as a kid in 79
the songs
Gary Numan "Cars"
Kate Bush "wuthering heights"
ultravox "Vienna"
actually made an impact that still lasts
btw you really really gotta do Wuthering Heights, I think the white dress video would blow your mind

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

So it's the white dress not the red one? There's a lot of hoopla about which version is better. Ha! Glad you enjoyed the video😉

[@garycoates4987]

@@catsarai-genxrewind5271 I'd request the white dress, or both if you want to compare :)
yes I enjoyed the video
it's a great performance

[@richey4287]

I'd second 'Vienna' by Ultravox - also 'Hymn' by Ultravox.

[@gregharrison5479]

How to knock your original outta the park? Trent: hold my tamborine!

[@33ordie]

Cat that Polymoog is a piece of collection from the late 70s. Very valuable piece of gear on a stage at risk of being broken. A treat for fans ;)

[@shanesmith2853]

This is amazing! Gary Numan doesn't age and his music just keeps getting darker and heavier. You should check out My Name Is Ruin with his daughter, Persia. It's so freaking good!

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

I'll check it out! Thanks for the tip!

[@hctiwt]

Nine Inch Nails NEVER dissapoints live.. I've seen them 8 times so far.. I went to a show on this same tour in 2009.. only wish I could have been at one with any special guests.. especialy Numan. .

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

Trent Rezner is a beast!

[@stormchaser419]

This song essentially linked 2 decades together and paved the way for groups like DEVO and others. I think it links the disco era of the 70s' with 80's synth pop and more DEVO type stuff like Whip It.

[@jimgardner5129]

Been a fan of Gary since Replicas. Still am to this day. Got to see him live, watch him and band rehearse (with no one else around - front and centre, folks!) and shake his hand.
Always interesting.

[@Kevin-py7hb]

I love ❤️ this reaction of yours... one of the best rocking, metal, kick ass videos out there..... I reacted the same way you did.... I remember the original, and adding NIN , is over the top..... I’m missing my concerts and all live music.... if this song doesn’t get you motivated and up and head banging, there’s something wrong with you.....

[@josephmythosian5432]

I wanted to add some background for you on this collaboration (kinda lengthy). In the early 90s, Gary wasn't doing so well musically and personally. He kept putting out albums, but he'd lost his way. Then NIN came up, Trent name-dropped Gary as a big influence, and Gary got to hear what his influence had morphed into. They connected and became friends, and Gary then figured out that Trent's style of Industrial was what he wanted to do. The led to Sacrifice and Exile and the rebirth of his career. Gary has gone from strength to strength ever since.
When Gary wanted to move to LA from England, Trent even became his sponsor so his family could all move.
Yes, his voice is as good as it's ever been. One respondent here said that his style has gotten stale, but I disagree. Although he still uses Moog and Moog-sounding sounds, and his song-writing has certain themes that have carried through, I am still amazed that he can write such powerful, personal, and varied music after all these years.
Loved your reaction to this video. Dig your enthusiasm. You mentioned that this performance sounds just like the original song. You need to listen to both of them back-to-back. Certain elements are there, but this is much faster and harder-hitting. He has done similar treatments with several of his old songs, most notably Down In The Park.

[@catsarai-genxrewind5271]

How cool! I've always though Trent was a good guy. I'm glad you filled me in.

[@ianherrick3526]

They also played “Metal” at this show.

[@darksideofthemoon7332]

The bridge over from Metal to Cars was pure electric energy. When those drumsticks came down, the crowd went frikking BALLISTIC! Absolutely Legendary performance! I’d have paid any price to have been there! Incredible!

[@richardsouceyjr5244]

the greatest honor EVER is playing a cover live, and having the original artist perform it with you on stage.....

[@teethhuller8275]

I just saw Gary Numan in concert last night. Great show!!!

[@trigger2225]

You got to do Tubeway Army are friends electric? Years ahead of their time, Numan was and still is pure CLASS. Love from across the pond in Liverpool.

Numan is the most underrated musician ever But his music continues to get sampled. He will never get a grammy or a brit award because he is original and unique.

[@Telukin]

His voice has only gotten better over time! It's matured :)

Though his 70s/80s stuff is awesome, have you tried his new stuff? Try "I am ruin", a duet with his daughter 😵

[@exile220ify]

NIN's incredibly talented guitarist Robin Finck - who's in this video - also performed on Gary Numan's album Splinter, and supported him on his 2013 tour supporting his latest album "Splinter". I got to see him, and meet him, in Santa Ana, CA. He was REALLY cool and I can't describe how talented a guitarist he is.

[@anglerman10]

Ihad the pleasure to see him in Edinburgh in May 2022. One off the best concerts I have been too. He still rocks it and reinvented alot of his classics.

[@bretcantwell4921]

Ok…first time viewer because your vid was under my YT feed of the actual Cars-NIN/Gary Newman live video…and within the first 30 seconds, you made me realize something…ready for it? #1. You reminded me why I love women…and #2. Why I love this vid.
Your charm and exuberance of enjoying this vid is priceless. Which, in turn, makes you SO sexy. And your joy in watching them perform this song live is awesome. Fellas…back me up on this: Girls are doubly hot when they rock out at concerts. I’ll never forget seeing Prince live for the Love Sexy tour in Dallas…even my gf at the time said it was so hot and sexy watching all the other ladies rock out and dance to Prince…or in this case, Cars live with Gary Newman and NIN. Keep rockin’, girl!!!
