I like this song and a few others on this album but Mr. Numan admits to being heavily influenced by Ultravox's Systems of Romance. He kinda stole their sound from that album which is by the way far superior to anything he ever did....check it out.
Agreed, and his whole take on machines that envy humans and want to become them challenges sci fi itself. Brilliant. Some of his lines are profound, and though stated by the machines, could go for us as well....such as, "I'm still confusing love with need." Again...brilliant. We're def on the same page, FA. Props.

Back in high school in the late 70s whenever me and my buddies would go out on the weekends and party...we made it a point to listen to this song right before going home....sounded great then...sounds great now.... almost like a time machine for me
Awesome! I love nine inch nails version. Had no clue it was a cover! Now I understand why it just didn’t have that nine inch nails feel! Both versions are executed great!
I was there when this was released. After "Are Friends Electric" we new that something really out there might happen next. I myself am an (abused) aspey. Not to cast aspersions on Gary,... but when I heard these lyrics, I understood completely. To this day, I would say this is in my top 5 songs of all time.
Thanks to Mr. Numan i began to learn as a child what synthesizers are and how they make a sound. Me today: Reparing and playing synthesizers. I never regret that my ears have found this, thanks to my father.
wan shokunin you and your father were way ahead in 'the game'. my hippie folks had cool hipster musician friends who would show up ..jam. play their music. once one of them had his synth stolen out front of our house in a van. he was like his whole world had caved in on them.
Replicas, The Pleasure Principle and Telekon................no one has done a better trio than that. Astounding!! I am so glad i was there 16 years old 1982 and I was and still am a Numan fan!!
Sean Paul Farnan 100% ditto there....also born in ‘66 and still love his music today...his music was so unique and different it just swept me away, no one has come close since and I don’t think they ever will
This track and the entire Pleasure principle Album could have been made yesterday it's so fresh and contemporary. Where the bloody hell did the time go from 1979. Seems like five seconds to me 😜
We're in the building Where they make us grow And I'm frightened by The liquid engineers Like you. My Mallory heart Is sure to fail I could crawl around the floor Just like I'm real Like you. The sound of metal I want to be You I could learn to be a man Like you. Plug me in And turn me on Oh everything is moving. I need my treatment It's tomorrow they send me Singing 'I am an American'. Do you? Picture this If I could make the change I'd love to pull the wires from the wall Did you? And who are you And how can I try Here inside I like metal Aren't you All I know Is no-one dies I'm still confusing love with need.
2020 discovered Gary Numan haven’t stopped listening to him. One after the other. Metal ,M.E , Are Friends Electric, Conversation,observer , Films , Cars ... Absolute Fire 🔥
I was mesmerised by CARS, and then bought this, aged ...er,....9! Seriously, i Was 9! Still astonishing, like so much from that period. Genuinely mercurial.
Driving back from the now defunct Studio One Club in Tottenham Court Road at 3am in 1980, this fine track would be blaring out of the speakers of the car. It would be followed by Bowie's "Ashes To Ashes", Joy Division's "Isolation", Ig's "Nightclubbing" and Japan's "My New Career". The soundtrack of my youth.
That's right, what a great place. Almost got see Bauhaus, unfortunately they didn't turn up. How quickly thirty seven years has flown past. If anything, folks seem much more conservative now than they were back then. Early Ultravox (with John Foxx) were brilliant.
I was born in 1970. Man I was soooooooo young but, this music is what shaped my life growing up. I wasn't really allowed till I was 18 to see these live concerts. I wish I was able to see bands like this just for the music. Omg whoever saw this Gary live was so lucky. Ill never forget my roots to music and Pink Floyd, Gary Numan, the cars, foreigner, black Sabbath ,iron maiden, acdc, motorhead, the Beatles ,the stones. Omg changed my life!!!!!
my favorite on this album. I wore this song out. I love his stories flying his planes as fast upside down close as to the ground as he could. I believe his father was a pilot also. alot of his music reminds me of flying. Gary Newman, your music will always remain brilliant to me. Thank You!
god damnit. how can any soul of a person not be able to like this song???? I really feel sad for the few that dont like this song. This was true creativity. A true master of his music and what was available at that time. Gary Numan will now and forever be one of my favorite artists of all time. As I am also a shy man. I would die happy tomorrow if i met the man. cheers to you mister Numan. thank you for all the wonderful music you made over the years.
well said.....I met him a couple of times and even interviewed him on Newstalk radio here in Ireland. A lovely man, very unassuming and so nice to talk to...as for musician.....fucking unreal. Deserves so much more recognition for what he achieved. Ivor Novelo award last week (May 2017) hopefully is the first step on that road.
Because 3 notes, a drum, and a clap don't satisfy everyone. Gary Numan is NOT god, he's just yet another synth-pop artist, which is a very controversial subject for people who can play an instrument.
@Alex Paulsen I play multiple instruments and love Gary Numan. I bet what he plays with one finger blows whatever you play with 10 out of the water. Don't be so fucking pretentious.
what a piece of synth history, gary was so underrated , revamping a song can be hard to do but with 9inch nails he nailed it awsome job love it , thx gary : )
Gotta give some flowers to that rhythm section. Paul Gardiner (RIP) and Cedric Sharpley! The moment they arrive during the intro kicks the song into high gear, but what really gets me going is that first bass lick at 1:00
woooooow I just recently discovered Gary Numan. (I've always been a big fan of Jean Michel Jarre and on his newest album he has written a song with Gray so that's how got to know him). I just love this song
Mila Philipsen hey Mila! So glad you have discovered Gary Good luck. If you have missed anything check out Here Am I and the ambient track She Cries from 1984.
1979: My first cigarette and my first listen to the Replicas album after school. What an evening that was. Still sounds magical, so peculiar and strange. How did he invent this mad world when he was just a boy?
Simply amazing track. Simply done (riff etc) but it only holds together because of the Polymoog/minimoog and Numan's distinctive vocal style.....sheer, utter brilliance. Was never released as a single (Complex was instead) but should have been and I think it would have been his 3rd number one single of 1979 in a row.
my father got me into gary numan plus tubeway army when i was really little and i am beyond grateful. his music is so well thought out, i love it so much, and the fact that he's still making music is wonderful.
I remember back in 2005-2007 hearing a song that sounded like this on the radio late at night heading to Michigan from Sw Ohio. I think it sounded a bit like Cars and Metal but I'm not sure I just know those are the closest to what I remember. But all of this album is great. I just haven't been able to pin point that sound like I heard that night still as of 2016
This was the B-side to the Cars single and I remember playing this song more than I played Cars. Such a great song. I was told The Pleasure Principle was the first ( or one of the first) rock albums without any guitars on it. There's no bass guitar either. It's all recorded on keys and synths. Now that's genius. The album still sounds great today.🤘💖🥰♀️
Same here! I got the Cars single for my 10th birthday in 1980. I played the B-side and "Woah, what is THIS?” It was one of my favorite songs that summer. I also got the B-52’s self titled that day so there were a lot of favorite songs during that time. But, yeah, Metal has never not been special.
I am only recently getting into Gary Numan, and boy, I really dig his sound, but as a conspiracy buff, I can't help but notice his unhealthy obsession with pyramids lol.
Its all part of the corrupt music industry. Do some research and you'll soon see but don't go too far down the rabbit hole you cannot find your way back.
The album cover makes me think the pyramid is some kind of sinister alien contract and he has to make a choice of whether or not to "sign" it because he doesnt even know quite what it is...
yep. Im not sure why I like Gary so much. I saw/heard him live in Portland or. The beat and airy sounds make me fantasize about other worldly places in the universe. I have some connection to the music. Thanks gary and the band.
People criticise 80's music, but I wish I'd been sneaking out to these shows instead of the 90's. Ahh well, I'll have to keep appreciating it from a generation away
This track is 40 years old. And the man who wrote it is a genius.

I first heard this song from Poppy, i had no idea it was a cover, but this original is amazing, the beats are alot more industrial. 😍🥰
facts
Oh mo
It's pure Numan
Numan’s instrumentals + Poppy’s voice = perfection
If you like this you must listen conversation /and down in the park 👍
Same, thats why I'm here ❤🎶
2:00, that pause and cascading bass drop! Pulls the techno funk from my soul.
"I'm still confusing love with need" - always liked that last line.
Yeah. Simple elegance.
Yeah, this robot is more human than he knows...
Some Numan nerd lore - that line originally appears in Gary Numan's song "The Crazies", an outtake from his previous album Replicas.
@@MCSMeister Ooh, I knew that! Although I couldn't remember the song's name.
One of the all -time great lyrics!!!! Very deep and profound Mr. Numan!!!
here from poppy, i love both of these versions (she didn’t steal the song, she credits it in the description which is why i’m here lol)
Me too, now I'm obsessed with Gary
@@AdelaTomankova I'm here from Poppy, too. And now I think I'll go 'sploring Gary. "Bowie's weird gothic brother"? Sold.

I accidentally got hooked on Gary Numan when I purchased this album in high school thinking I was buying a David Bowie album

That is awesome.
Good deal

Simply amazing. This rocks harder than anything these days. I was in high school in the early 80s in fact 84 was my senior year.
Awesome! I love nine inch nails version. Had no clue it was a cover! Now I understand why it just didn’t have that nine inch nails feel! Both versions are executed great!
Gary numan was a huge inspiration for trent Reznor
Been listening to Gary Numan for over 30 years on and off. This still sounds fresh as the it did back in the day.
The test AND definition of a classic piece of music. If it still sounds good 5 - 10 - 30+ years later....
40 years later, still sounds amazing and fresh
Never gets old.
Steve Goodman he sure do. Love ”films” right now.
This could have come with a do not open until 2080 and it'd be fresh.
Gary Numan is a pioneer!
The song "Metal" is what originally brought me in to the fold.
(At least until 2006)
Wonderful Music!
I was there when this was released.
After "Are Friends Electric" we new that something really out there might happen next.
I myself am an (abused) aspey. Not to cast aspersions on Gary,... but when I heard these lyrics, I understood completely.
To this day, I would say this is in my top 5 songs of all time.
And I'm pretty fuckin picky. :D
Just been reminded how epic this tune is.
Haven't heard this in many years it's just like hearing it for the first time. THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!
I've just gone back aswell, great days.
Thanks to Mr. Numan i began to learn as a child what synthesizers are and how they make a sound.
Me today: Reparing and playing synthesizers.
I never regret that my ears have found this, thanks to my father.

Gary Numan for ever
I just heard this today and thought it was a modern song for a second until I recognized Numan's voice
We're in the building
Where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by
The liquid engineers
Like you.
My Mallory heart
Is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I'm real
Like you.
The sound of metal
I want to be
You
I could learn to be a man
Like you.
Plug me in
And turn me on
Oh everything is moving.
I need my treatment
It's tomorrow they send me
Singing 'I am an American'.
Do you?
Picture this
If I could make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you
And how can I try
Here inside I like metal
Aren't you
All I know
Is no-one dies
I'm still confusing love with need.

If I had to pick a song of Numan's I love best, Metal would have to be it. Have always loved Gary Numan's music. It's futuristic, mysterious.
Why is everything I like from England?
Plan a trip then ;)
how do you notice? haha
glad u mentioned other countries well said
Try The Mighty Boosh if haven't already :) . amazing show
Barson Cackwood Good taste
Gary Numan is a fucking musical madman!!!
Gary, king of the melodies with synthesizers and one of the fathers of the elctro pop music, with the Tubeaway Army and then on his own, respect !!!
I love the older Human stuff. A genius of electric and metal. Mixing together beats that were unconventional.
Helen F i totally agree with you.
Indeed! Cedric Sharpley on drums and Paul Gardiner on bass were a phenomenal rhythm section! Both now sadly deceased, alas.

I love heavy metal but have always liked this song since I first heard it in 79
The song that turned me into a Numan fan....
back in 1979, there was no song like it ever !
New Wave 1979. j'ai tripper sur cette courte période musicale
One of my favorite tracks must be heard on headphone and its been covered many time by othet bands

One of his best tracks. Bought the album the week it came out. Nothing else like it.
been a fan ever since mom brought home this album so 48 yet most of life
This song was the B side for the single "Cars". We played this way more than the A side!
Forever brilliant !!
