Met him back in the eighties when he was performing at Exeter air show flying his Harvard. Not only was he a great pilot and put on a great display but I got to chat with him after. We just talked flying as I knew music was not what he was there for. He was fascinating, very humble and quietly spoken and very engaging. He struck me as the perfect person to share a pint or two with in a quiet old country pub and talk about everything as he seemed very intelligent and thoughtful. No wasted words, just a very interesting person to engage with. I so wanted to gush and talk about the music but I’m glad I didn’t as it would have not shown him the respect he deserved for his flying skills.
This man is an absolute genius 👏 Always has been. Plus he's such a nice person. I've met him and he was so genuine. Can't imagine never having Gary Numan in my world!!
@@royculshaw8314 I met him on a god forsaken festival in a god forsaken village in Belgium, while he was watching one of the bands on stage, way before his gig was on. Great to see that he can enjoy others work too.
I agree with everyone, he is the most genuine, polite ,honest megastar ever. I have been a life long fan. He is a legend and pioneer of electronic music. He constantly changing his style both in stage presentation and what I describe as "Landscape music".A very down to earth guy. Always looking forward to his new music. A true inspiration, a fabulous family man
@@jamesjameson4566 He also had a face,skin peel when he did the SAVAGE videos and world tour. He is also now partially deaf. But despite this, I have been a fan from the beginning. He is a legend and a creative lyric writer 👍
When Lorraine interviewed Gary many years back she commented on how "refreshingly honest" he was. Gary has always been the first to admit when things haven't gone right in his career but he's held on in there and proved his fiercest of critics wrong.
That’s very true , ridiculed by ´ sounds´ and ´NMÉ … I’m sure they never actually listened to his music , remember bk in 1981 I was wearing a Numan T-Shirt and this other guy shouts at me " I F****** hate Gary Numań ,,, what a nutter he was eh? … Seen him many times and lucky to have met him in Manchester ..
It was trendy for journalists not to like him. I used to get abuse from the staff in Harum (Enfield Town) and fobbed off in HMV anytime I asked if they knew when they'd have the new single/album. "Next Week" seemed to be the answer, regardless.
Went to the Wembley gig and it was piggin awesome! The only thing that could top that night was to shake his hand. His music has been with me since I first became aware of him and to see him live for the first time now I am 61 was an emotional thing for me. Gary is a genius at his craft and I cannot wait to go again.
Just saw him perform in Cleveland on the 5th of may, 2023...and I must say....holy shit is he good!!! Highly recommend seeing his performance if u can catch it.
Lucky enough to see his Pleasure Principal tour a few years back. Replicas & P.P are both groundbreaking albums, still relevant and have that huge Numan soundscape that is completely original.
This was a great interview. He seems very relaxed with Lorraine. I missed it that morning so thanks for uploading. Really looking forward to seeing him on the 6th May 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I remember seeing him live at the odeon new st Birmingham on he’s Telekon tour, that was around 1980ish he’s lighting stage set up was amazing and he was live!! Great artist.
My friend re-introduced me to him in 2005. Wow. I loved his music and the lyrics and Everytime I listen I hear something new I had not heard before. I resonate with his sound. Gary Human 3.0 indeed ❤️
And sporting a muzzle on the cover of Savage years before. Just a coinidence. Convid. You mugs who got jabs dont want to read the pfizer released papers 😂😂😂
Seen him recently 1st time got to go again absolutely brilliant, best gig ever been too, really in touch with the crowd and we all enjoyed it. Could tell he loved performing and how much rapport he had with us. Outstanding xx
Is, was, always will be, absolutely Superb. The king of Electronic music in the Eighties, and far more influential than a lot of people wish to acknowledge. Every track is beautiful. Obviously his daughters are brilliant too.
@@waynenorthspacebuoy3529 not like that, their voices, I'm sure he mentioned that they sang on his album, but I thought it was his wife doing the backing singing on certain tracks of Gary's, but how wrong was I. Wasn't being rude,dude,sorry.
When Gary toured Australia in 1980 I went to his concerts in Melbourne. He didn't speak at all throughout the concert. I wasn't sure if it was shymness or simply his on stage persona. Loved the show though!
I saw him this week in Oslo and he didn’t say much! Just thanks at the end, I thinks But he did not seem shy! Very engaged with the audience, lots of dancing on stage. Loved the show.
Just finished reading Revolution and it was a great update. Still got an early biography by Ray Coleman on my bookshelf which I may read again. Still playing my original scratchy Tubeway Army vinyl for as long as it may last.
Wow he's looking great for his age love all his songs,, he's a legend I use to dress up like him in the 80s grease hair back and black jump suit. Gary Numan come to Ireland to do a concert I will be there
@@leeetchells609 Never use double sided Gaffer Tape ... it takes the skin off ... agony! ... I did a cover of Ziggy Stardust by Bowie on my YT Channel ... crap wig ... going back to Benny from the ABBA Wardrobe .. or I could start a new trend ... like ripped knees in jeans ... so yesterday.
Gary has admitted to having a hair transplant, because he was losing it in I believe it was in the 80s and he didn’t want the bald look, so he had a transplant.
One of the loveliest / grounded / honest guys in the music business. He always has time for his fans too.
Keep on keepin' on, Gary. You're a gem 🖤
only lie is that hair
@@bobcharlie7982 What a pathetic statement.

I've met him a couple of times too. It's wonderful when your idols live up to your expectations.

Most underrated musician of all time.

John Lydon wants a word with ya
He seems ike he dyes his hair

I saw him on tour in 1979. Next month May 2022 I’ll be seeing him in Manchester. That says it all. He’s a genuine Rock star. And a Damn lovely bloke.
Have you enjoyed the Manchester gig, is Gary still as good as in 79?
I saw him in Hammersmith in 79 too.
Maybe we were in the audience together.
He’s one of the top three sweetest celebrities I’ve ever met. Day one fan.
Savage songs from a broken world is such a fantastic album
His early stuff with tubeway army also still holds up today
The dude is a legend
My idol when I was young. So nice to see he’s doing well.
He's such a humble, approachable person. It's nice to see him smiling and happy. I've loved GN since the 70s.
Cracking bloke. Can’t wait to see him in leeds
Hey I went to Leeds last night too! 😊

Its strange that back in the day so many people hated him. Really sweet guy, I wish him every happiness.

And all those who slagged him off in the press and in the business back then, are ALL dead ☠️ and gone now.
Only Numan’s left standing 🌟
True. I remember getting abuse in the 80's from wearing a Numan t-shirt.
@@garystroud1629 the abuse was probably due to him being a Thatcher fan, not cool to be in the eighties.
Great guy watched him since 1978 been to several of his gigs and he always gives them his all and he has made his fans love him
Great interview, glad to see it as had missed it! Still fabulous 40+ years later! 🎶🎹💜
Gary is a legend, I grew up listening and watching him. Amazing soul
It is so lovely to see our gorgeous Gary happy bless him

I first herd "Cars" on a trans-Atlantic flight when I was 11. Took me ages to discover who it was (no internet back then). LOVE his brilliance!
Gary is a huge influence on me! I love his music ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Went to see him in Liverpool.. I was blown away! Why did I not see him 40+ years ago??
Great bloke. Great music.
I was a Numanite. Took my Replicas vinyl to my barbers when I was 15 and said can you cut my hair like that ….
lovely guy....very humble and honest. Good luck again Gary
A great man very open and honest. I never saw him live though. Like his girls names too, a lovely family full of creativity .
Gorgeous gary is such a good father another reason why he is such a lovely man bless him
Love him from day 1 tubeway army , genuine bloke so ahead of his time,, x
What a down to earth ,talented,Cool guy.Great to see Gary enjoying life👍🏻👍🏻
For someone who has asperger, Gary is a true gentleman. He is cool, funny, and humble. I don't mind spending hours talking about music with him.
Better looking as he gets older. Love the interview.👍
What a cool dude
Just saw him perform in Cleveland on the 5th of may, 2023...and I must say....holy shit is he good!!! Highly recommend seeing his performance if u can catch it.
Im so love with this lovely darling gorgeous man saw him last year at rock city in nottingham love him forever
One of a kind is Mr Numan.
Brilliant musician and human being. I can’t wait to see him live in Brighton tonight.
This man has so much talent and is a very humble down to earth guy.
His new music is great. Very relevant. I always loved his vibe. Glad he’s still at it.
Lucky enough to see his Pleasure Principal tour a few years back. Replicas & P.P are both groundbreaking albums, still relevant and have that huge Numan soundscape that is completely original.
Saw him once again in concert, in Chicago. It was a great show. The meet and greet was a lot of fun. Gary Numan is a very relatable, nice person.
GREAT FARTHER...AND HUSBAND...AND A GENUINE KIND MODEST MAN.❤❤❤❤❤
What a great guy ... grounded and genuine
Gorgeous gary has matured so beautifully
I am going to the meet and greet and concert tomorrow in Cardiff, i cant wait
Right on
Saw him in 1980 .. great concert.
Hard to believe isn't it. His music still hits it.
Brillaint bloke .fans love him
This was a great interview. He seems very relaxed with Lorraine. I missed it that morning so thanks for uploading. Really looking forward to seeing him on the 6th May 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Think Mrs N : Gemma has certainly helped Gary find his feet ext😊💚
Saw him for the first time last night & he (& his band) were awesome! Wish I’d not left it so long to see him! Thanks for featuring him Lorraine!
Keep it up, keep it punk, Gary - saw u recently in North Carolina-absolutely fantastic show
So ahead of his time with the video/song cars , unbelievable if you ask me!.
Such a fan for years 2022
I remember Gary Numan successfully turning the music landscape upside down full on with the synths with Are Friends Electric and Cars.
Awesome songs, in the states he was only played on progressive radio, then Cars came out. Glad to see he still looks good and keeping it real.
So glad Gary is coming to germany. See you in Hamburg!
Gary was very influenced by Kraftwerk.
I got intruder last Xmas amazing got songs from the broken world as a birthday present 🎁
Thanks for posting this. I missed it earlier in the week.
What a lovely, lovely person!
Gary is one of the most fascinating interviewees around. He has so many stories to tell, and he tells them well.
Looking forward to the Wembley gig on the 7th.
Eeeeek very excited for this tour.
Wonderful interview.
Love this music 😍
What a nice bloke, seems genuine and decent fella

He looks great for his age, looks decades younger x
He. Never. Gives up😊😊😊
He still shows the young ones how to do it.Legend is an overused word but its very fitting here.

He looks great, I'm glad he was able to recover from COVID.
99.99% people do.
Thanks for your support message me direct 🌹🌹🌹
@@johnryder8464 yes they do, but it can be bad. I am a lot younger than Gary and I got it quite bad. The cough and breathlessness is awful.
@@desertrose1226 were you jabbed too?
And sporting a muzzle on the cover of Savage years before. Just a coinidence. Convid. You mugs who got jabs dont want to read the pfizer released papers 😂😂😂
Has Gary forgotten the last time he played Wembley arena?
1993 as special guest support act for OMD.
That was a great performance 👍
I was there....brilliant
Fecking great bloke 👍
Seen him recently 1st time got to go again absolutely brilliant, best gig ever been too, really in touch with the crowd and we all enjoyed it. Could tell he loved performing and how much rapport he had with us. Outstanding xx
Such a wonderful down to earth person and an amazing pioneering genius at the same thing! Sounding amazing still today!
Wow ... he looks so young ... I hope my hair stays with me it looks so good!
doesnt look natural but nice bloke
Is, was, always will be, absolutely Superb.
The king of Electronic music in the Eighties, and far more influential than a lot of people wish to acknowledge.
Every track is beautiful.
Obviously his daughters are brilliant too.
You cant help but be in love with him thanks so much for sharing xx
LAST TWO ALBUMN S WENT STRIAGHT TO NUMBER TWO.❤❤❤

He's changed style but his music is just as creative as his early stuff.
Very nice guy
I know right, when he dissapeard was 💔, but now MR. NUMAN, IS BACK.

I so loved him in Spinal Tap! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Huble guy , all the best mate.
Love his Early ' Cars ' song , Mysterious, and so well produced 🙏🙏🙏
I've always been a big fan. But, wow what a great guy. I'm even more of a fan after watching this.
Genius played with Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Staggering live.
When I was growing up in the early 80s in south london there was a numanoid who lived across the road from me called bernard
Looking forward to Nottingham Rock Cityxx
It's like he's just come back out of the sky
The Barnet has sure grown since he retired ……comes across as a nice guy ..all the best 👍🏻
Someone said it was not his hair??? ... Nah ... I don't believe that ... if its not his was it a donation? So confusing ....

Just seen him in bristol! Amazing showman!
Hes a genuinely nice guy.
Go see him if you’re interested, cuz it was certainly a super bitchin US tour
CARS - TUNE ! just needed to say it lol x
Replicas is one of the best albums of the era.
