He's a great man ... so funny too! Can't believe he's 64, that's amazing ... I hope I look as good as him at that age ... fantastic hair and everything.
@@bigtwit799 Do you have your own teeth? ... its not just about hair! ... we need to celebrate over 60's with teeth ... the dog had mine and looked really scary ... never use gaffer tape double sided too .. turns the hair piece into a scruffy guinea pig if you can get it off ... such fun.
I saw him a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed the show. His live music is intense and boy, the Bass and Rhythm guitarists embedded themselves in my visual memory. Saw him in a small venue and it was all fantastic and trance-inducing.
I saw him at Cardiff on Thursday- fantastic show. So much new material and it definitely wasn’t a throwback show, but he did play Cars/AFE, I was surprised that he did, and he played both with real enthusiasm. Amazing showman.
I saw him in February 2022 in Philadelphia and it was a fantastic show! I agree, his band was unforgettable. Gary was just phenomenal. I’ve seen him before, and I like him live because his music is so intense and you can see how much he loves to perform his work. The audience loved him. Two regrets, though. It was LOUD! Even with good earplugs, my ears rang for days after. And if only Persia had been with him to sing My Name is Ruin. But no matter, it was one of my favorite shows ever. Thanks, Gary!
Legend. Cars was my very first favorite song the year it came out. I was 10, used to go roller skating on Friday nights, never forget how cool that was.
I love Gary Numan, his music is my fav ever and he’s so awesome. I would never imagine he felt fear performing till I read his book. He’s beyond amazing now, just saw him again and have tickets for March 2024.
Congratulations Gary. Thank you for making music that is been part of my program to make it through an extremely deep length depression that has caused a lot of issues and your music has been a relief to relate to and your music has helped me through some of the darkest days in my life. Thank you thank you
Just saw him a few weeks ago with I Speak Machine at small bar-venue of less than 1000 people. Hard to imagine playing at Wembley after touring in small gigs throughout the US. He put on a good show - good energy for a chap his age.
On tour for Savage, the date in my city was part of a big festival. Me and some friends made a pretty big road trip to an earlier show in another city at a smaller venue. Great decision. Gary's genuineness, humility, and sincerity as a person despite all his massive fame and fandom really are best in smaller venues.
Saw him in 1980 till 2019 for his 40th anniversary in London every time I see him he really does get better. a unique and gifted artist. 40 year's of music and each new album has its own sound and feel. A under the radiator genius who deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of Fame!
@@bigtwit799 Well lets just say Gary is still a lot older than me, and guess what I have bad news for you! You aint nothing special pal, one day someone will be calling you old man! But at least I can say I was there at the beginning of it all, i was also at his shows in 79 and 80, and you can tell your grand children that you saw a pensioner on stage at Wembley😥
@@bigtwit799 You do realise music is one of the arts? Especially the kind he makes. Just as much to do with the production as it is the songs themselves. If it makes more sense to you, his albums are his gallery.
Thank you to whoever re-posted this, I could actually here the audio on this. If I still lived in London I'd be there with bells on! For all those going, have a great night, it will be special.
Gary Gaza Numan . Whoa what a legend. He is loved as his music is and will be by everyone who discovers the music and the man . Emotions he has them and will stir yours , a tear , joy happiness he has it all . Awesome . Respect ! ❤
He is my man Mr numan can not wait to see him again at the city Hall Newcastle with my numan fan my son beside me for the 3time and hope he makes Newcastle fan rock as we have to bad years just one night to forget the outside Newcastle uk numan make it rockbaby✌️🇬🇧😊😘
Someone needs to let Gary know that he's hardly the only guy to ever say he's retiring from music, then not. The fact he didn't have another hit song is hardly due to one slip at Wembley.
Bloody idiotic news, making sound like in 81 he stopped, 2 years ish yes, but he got straight back into albums and tours, its only been the 40 years to get back to wembley, looking forward to it!
I saw two videos of Cars, one with Gary & Trent Reznor with N.I.N. & one with Fear Factory, the one with N.I.N. was from 2009 & the one with Fear Factory was just a couple of years ago(2020), both were great. 🤟
maybe I misunderstood what she said about him no longer doing live concerts until recently, but Ive seen him live twice, both times in LA/Hollywood. Once at a graveyard in Hollywood before a showing of the movie "Metropolis"(7-8 years ago..he did a few songs from his, at the time, new album 'Splinter'), and the other maybe 5-6 years ago at a large goth/industrial club.
He has done shed loads of tours. But the past few years and albums have no excitement to them. We only go out of habit and a longing nostalgia for the glory days.
@@adamant5419 no they are not. They are dull. Cars and robot prostitutes each and everytime. Proper snarky and clever lyrics. Now its Greta Numan and zzzzz..... Wembly "farewell" was my first gig. Wembly "return" is my last. I will enjoy the odd classic from when he was truly genius. And snore through the later stuff. He really is a lazy fecker. After all i stuck with it through Machine and Soul. I deserve better 😂😂😂
I have heard Gary when interviewed saying the big influence on him was an album “Systems of Romance” by Ultravox who were at the time fronted by John Foxx and not Midge Ure. I do not recall David Bowie ever saying he was influenced by anyone!
I am and always will be a big Numan fan but the you got one saliant point wrong, David Bowie did not like Gary Numan, so there is no way on this earth that Numans music would influence Bowie.
Bowie was not a fan. Although he eventually admitted that what Numan did, he did well. Gary talks about it in his autobiography. Bowie was a bit of a jerk to him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣He influenced Bowie???? He said at the time that he was retiring to get into aviation, it all went wrong so he had to go back to music because he was bankrupt.
I like Gary Numan but let's be honest, there's no way he influenced Bowie lol the other way around is more accurate, and I agree he found a unique sound at the right time totally influenced by Kraftwerk, but he was pretty shit, couldn't sing and very simple electronics, he kind of got lucky with the keyboard sounds and possibilities that were coming out he just jumped on and used it. Like I said I like Gary Numan but let's be honest
How can you not love Gary Numan?❤hes got to be the most beautiful and talented man in the world! Long live Gary!
I love this man and the humbleness he always has had. That’s what makes him such a beautiful person! 🖤🦇
Ikr, there's definately a type of sophistication but down to earth vibe to him.
@@te9591 agreed 💯!!! 🤘
He's a great man ... so funny too! Can't believe he's 64, that's amazing ... I hope I look as good as him at that age ... fantastic hair and everything.
@@waynenorthspacebuoy3529 I'm 62 and bald and fat. It's not fair.

I'm really glad he's happier now, he has meant so much to many.
Gary looks fantastic for someone who's 64 years old.
I don't.
He really does, but i think he's had work done. But im not really judging.
A life without ever touching alcohol helps. I believe Gary has been a lifelong teetotaller.
@@leod-sigefast really?
@@leod-sigefast He hasn't been a life long tea totaler - Aparantly he has the odd drink to deal with social anxiety - But who doesn't 🍺

He canceled the show near me to Covid 2x now sadly. But i saw him two years ago. Good show.

He only retired from touring. He never gave up making music.
"Retired" lol ...for about 2 years.
@@afriendcalled5Numan retired the way The Cure “retired” lol
Was happy for Numan when I saw he was playing Wembley arena
It’s been a long road back for him and he has done it

I wish him the best on this historical gig for him. Hopefully he can let go of that regret after his show.
Many decades between! Still sounds good.

@@abritandhisbikeinpoland6802 i mean he was justa petty troll, dont let it get you down. Those Gary Numan shows must have been Terrif!
Bought his first album in 1980, loved it, But....He is way better now, How many performers can say that? His "Basement " performance was amazing
Saw him in Leeds last night & he was brilliant!
Going to see him for the 3rd time in a couple of weeks. Great artist.
has he got a gallery?
@@bigtwit799 You do realise music is one of the arts? Especially the kind he makes. Just as much to do with the production as it is the songs themselves. If it makes more sense to you, his albums are his gallery.
@@slumdogjay No I didn't. Thanks.

@@slumdogjay No. It's incredible to find out!
He is and has always been awesome

First artist that gave me a lightbulb moment. Nice guy too
I can’t wait to see Gary Numan live in Brighton tonight.
Too long. Go to the venue in the afternoon when he's rehearsing.
Lucky for you and So jealous you were able to! 🖤😻🤘
I saw him supporting omd at wembley arena in december of1993.
It felt like omd were the support act
Saw him live in Preston about 9 years ago. He is a great performer.
I saw him in Brighton on the 1st May 2022 he was brilliant 👏
I can't wait for next month. ive waited 45 years to see him live.
What a gig it was, I never got to see the first Wembley ones, but the 2022 one was amazing, absolutely fabulous and utterly unforgettable 😊❤️❤️.
Gary Gaza Numan . Whoa what a legend. He is loved as his music is and will be by everyone who discovers the music and the man .
Emotions he has them and will stir yours , a tear , joy happiness he has it all . Awesome . Respect ! ❤
And what a show it was ❤
The press had a lot to do with him retiring, they hounded him, he's come back stronger and much better
GREAT. Danke.
He´s a legend!
Garry must have a self portrait in the attic that is starting to look pretty ancient.
He is my man Mr numan can not wait to see him again at the city Hall Newcastle with my numan fan my son beside me for the 3time and hope he makes Newcastle fan rock as we have to bad years just one night to forget the outside Newcastle uk numan make it rockbaby✌️🇬🇧😊😘
I have huge respect for Numan, but lets get this clear. Numan did not influence Bowie. it was the other way around.
Gorgeous Gary the love of my life cant wait to see him in may

My name is ruin is a great track - sung with the help of his daughter Persia
He's the best
Rockstar and a pilot. He didn't ruin anything
He look,s so young😊
What age do you think his wig is?

Definitely a misworded story. He just surpassed his 1000th show, so he has remained active all these years.
If Nikola Tesla had made music, I'm sure this is how it would have sounded.
Bowie refused to meet him on the Kenny Everett show 1980 .
I Have always enjoyed the fact that hes birthday is 8th march same as mine.
Nice to see David icke
Amazing how Gary has twice the amount of hair he had in 1979…
Lol, it's a real mystery that one
Gary Numan influenced David Bowie? Lol Other way around.
I have heard Gary when interviewed saying the big influence on him was an album “Systems of Romance” by Ultravox who were at the time fronted by John Foxx and not Midge Ure. I do not recall David Bowie ever saying he was influenced by anyone!
I am and always will be a big Numan fan but the you got one saliant point wrong, David Bowie did not like Gary Numan, so there is no way on this earth that Numans music would influence Bowie.
He didn't influence David Bowie. It was the other way about. Bowie didn't like Gary numan and the new wave. As sung in teenage wildlife
need a WARRIORS II 🙏
can someone please upload a better copy of this with better sound? it's too quiet
pretty much inaudible for me :(
Last two Albumn,s went to no 2
Retired ?
But he plays in the US
He influenced Bowie??? Not sure about that!!
Very much so. Bowie admitted it. I heard him say so yesterday.
@@bigtwit799 clairvoyant?
Bowie influenced Numan! Even though Numan was a Bowie fan Bowie wasn’t much of a fan of his going as far as to accuse him of stealing his act.
@@Wishful-Thinking Newman should sue him!
Bowie was not a fan. Although he eventually admitted that what Numan did, he did well. Gary talks about it in his autobiography. Bowie was a bit of a jerk to him.
Eh! I have seen several times over the years, since '81.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣He influenced Bowie???? He said at the time that he was retiring to get into aviation, it all went wrong so he had to go back to music because he was bankrupt.
Did sugarbabes sample Gary numan
Yes
Freak like me, got to number 1 in the UK charts
Are Friends electric mixed with Freak like me.
I like Gary Numan but let's be honest, there's no way he influenced Bowie lol the other way around is more accurate, and I agree he found a unique sound at the right time totally influenced by Kraftwerk, but he was pretty shit, couldn't sing and very simple electronics, he kind of got lucky with the keyboard sounds and possibilities that were coming out he just jumped on and used it.
Like I said I like Gary Numan but let's be honest
He never influenced David Bowie hahahaha
Bowie admitted he loved a few tracks...but we all love Bowie's laughing gnome. His masterpiece.
I say he did!
He did actually. It caused Numan to be the 1 person Bowie was envious of, resulting in snarky attitude from Bowie towards Numan.
not true,,he's done lots of tours since the lame 80s,,don't know why it's on news at ten,skint pop star returns,,yippee doo
