The song is set in a post apocalyptic world. A family, trying to survive are taken prisoner by a religious cult called "The Righteous " They murder his wife,leave him for dead and take his daughter. When he recovers he sets out to find his daughter, along the way he becomes savage and brutal, killing anyone he thinks had something to do with taking his daughter. This earns him the name "Ruin" When he eventually finds his daughter he's not the man he used to be,and blames his daughter for what happened. Or something along those lines anyhoos.😅 I seen numan on this tour and the tour from the me,I disconnect from you video you did.Jeeeeez I'm old 😅 great video guys,epic song 👍

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Awesome context. Thanks

[@calebfuller4713]

The whole album is basically a musical that tells the full story from beginning to end. It'd make a great film really. An interesting fact I heard him mention somewhere is that "The Righteous" become what they are because they find a fragment of the Bible and are trying to live according to it, but it's all the worst bits of the old testament, hence their brutality, slaughtering the "unbelievers" and taking young girls as slaves, etc.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

@@calebfuller4713 thanks so much for this extra context too. It's amazing the power the written word can have..even insanely terrible ideas expressed in written word can have on society when people in power attach divinity to it.

🎼🎹🎸🎵👌

[@Papa-Anvil]

He’s stuck in a NIN loop!!! 🤬

[@lestranged]

Saw him last month opening for Ministry, "My Name is Ruin" was much harder and more intense than the studio version. He's been kind of rearranging his older songs to be even more industrial in the live shows. I have some video of that show on my channel.

[@2dclxvi]

That guitar riff is just filthy...so good...sparse but intensely threatening. The way Persia is evoking the muslim call to prayer type vocal is absolutely haunting...beautiful, emotionally rich but also melodically dark. I have been getting into Gary's music a lot over the last 3 years...there's a large catalog to go through...it's been really fun and rewarding.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

hell yeah. Thanks for sharing that with us. 100% agree

[@Lee-70ish]

A 40 plus year career in rock is phenomenal . His latest work is never stale as it does not rest on the past work.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

thanks for the comment!

[@ContemplativeCat]

Gary Numan's triumphal resurgence is one of the greatest things I've seen in music in the last 30 years. It just about brings a tear of joy to my eye.

[@italysfavoriteson5339]

I couldn't have said it better, my friend.

[@j.dmetalhead7517]

I'm so glad that Gary finally got the recognition he deserved back in his "machine" era. Gary is still kicking arse.

[@les9920]

Seeing his daughter up on stage makes me think how he’s come full circle in that his wife was a fan back in the 70 s. She followed him to every gig until he started to notice this familiar face in the front row of every concert. Eventually she gets to meet Gary and the rest is history..

[@davidfisher8821]

Numan is amazing, doing his best work ever. He’s the only 80s musician doing better work now than in his “heyday” do more from this era!

[@martinlegg2151]

Check out the recent albums from OMD,they are smashing it too!

[@Tangento]

Agreed, however a disc like say, "Telekon" (1980) has transcended the years, and remains a vital album to this day

[@daviddeath6029]

His machine age was his best work but this album was good but intruder not so good he needs to change again 😊

[@maureenwagg5305]

Love love love Gary Numan and Persia. They are fantastic musicians/artists. Just so heartwarming to see Gary singing with his wee girl.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Agreed.

[@gailhill5734]

Epic song and performances. Numan is still so innovative after 40 years. Incredible. Surely should be in rock and roll hall of fame ❤

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous Gary's daughter is such an angel bless her

[@simonp9075]

Great review of Gary Numan he is awesome, I have seen him many times live and he just rocks. Thanks for reviewing Gary Numan a much under rated Pioneer of music.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

You are welcome Simon! Loving the passion from the fans. Hope to hear from you in the other gary numan videos we made.

[@fortyfivekva]

His new stuff is great! I also love "I am Dust".

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I just listened to I am dust thanks to you. Song was fantastic!!

[@opiateutopia]

"...Imagining a 20-year old daughter". Fun fact, his oldest daughter (2 year difference with the girl in the video) is 20 now and she's recording her debut album. They grow up so fast😢

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

my oldest is 20 now.. they do grow up fast

[@teethhuller8275]

I just saw him in concert last night… great show!!!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

So awesome. What are the crowd's like?

[@brapmanbrap5188]

Gary is a living legend this is absolutely magnificent hes gone full circle and trent reznor will definitely agree to that as you know

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Thanks so much for this comment!

[@susancorwin8734]

Love that song! So atmospheric!! Love the outfits and the whole look of the show. Better song than the previous one. Really great! Talented guy.

[@veronicaambler1846]

The sound of this album is EPIC! Adore it!

[@tracymorley1883]

A fan since 1979 .his daughter as a brillaint voice

[@astroteech]

I love your recognition of Gary Numan's performance with Nine Inch Nails and "Cars" which was awesome! "My Name is Ruin" is so Numan!

[@Layla.H.79]

This is Persia, the youngest of his 3 daughters. I had the chance to met him & his wife Gemma, backstage, in Toronto. He's so kind and down to earth. I love his music. My favorite album is Splinter.

[@SteCork-t8x]

Not quite, the birth order is Raven, Persia, Echo. She's the middle child. But yeah, he's a great guy.

[@rachelminall2121]

Gary is amazing.

[@darrenp1549]

I was fortunate to see him perform on this tour at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston.... A little room of MAYBE 2500 people. Same stage setup and sound.... Persia was away for school the week before but this being a Friday show, She and her Mom and Sisters met up with the tour and I was able to see this LIVE!!! BEST show ever and I've seen at LEAST 200 live concerts...

[@MobiusBandwidth]

I was there, have seen most of his Boston gigs. never a let down. he's aged so well.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

It’s crazy he can make music like this so many years later

[@ziigiiziig]

His song Intruder is also fantastic, much like the rest of his work. I listen to both songs religiously.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Yeah I like that one a lot too!

[@retromaster2000s]

I love this song bad ass too I love the current music Gary does with the band since 1994 with some line-up changes a long the way here and their.

[@subzero882]

Man I love this. I also love NiN!!! I didnt know about the influence but man i can hear it.

[@sideswipe1261]

She gains confidence every live show she does after the last. And the feeling of being that loved by abFather… this video is as close as I can guess! Take care!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Beautiful persia bless

[@Dooklawz]

LOVE this track! Gary Numan is awesome! Couldn't agree more with you guys, it rips :)

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Thanks so much!

[@Dhyatt61]

Listen to ALL of his recent albums (like "Savage" and "Intruder") - they are amazing. He is brilliant.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love gorgeous Gary so much forever lovely fantastic awesome beautiful man

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Thanks Alison! Love your passion for him.

[@thespartan8476]

His daughters Raven & Persia have stuff out check it out. Raven Numan - Children Of The Bad Revolution (live) Electric Ballroom, Camden 13 April 2023

[@originaltommy]

Phuq yeah!!!!

[@johnsayer116]

I love how one of you is like an accountant listening to music whilst he adds stuff up, the other like a guy in the front of a mosh pit...

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Lol. Great description.

[@robertdawson2743]

This and Pure are probably my favourite Numan tracks and both are absolutely phenomenal, so dark with industrial heaviness but beautiful too. Deftones do something similar and they are a stunning band too. A collaboration between Trent Reznor, Gary Numan and Deftones would be something off the scale...

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

that would be amazing. Love Chino.

[@lisaevans3284]

U should see the film clip to this it’s good

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Amazing

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

we love this song

[@sideswipe1261]

Persia does far more than add to the vocals and sound, this song is constructed and and at least partially by this young girl with a white cross at her age on stage and crushing it (even *if* any “filters were used for anything, Gary can do that because Gary likely INVENTED THEM or is close friends with who did! It’s like how Jim Davis cannot possibly draw Garfield “Wrong”, because HE Created Garfield! Numan put raw heart into machines for the first time… and happens to be an incredible dad to an incredible Persia, and part of what makes this song and all the official and live vids So Special to me is cuz my Father tried to murder at age 3 for trying to challenge this WW2 Marine Bet wailing on my momma and a sister, and I yelled “YOUDON’T DO THAT!” , snarling at Him and ready to destroy him as a 3 year old boy at our first meeting. Then He charged and tried to strangle me to death. I blacked out. I don’t remember after that. And that was just visit 1. Point is seeing Gary and Persia together, their voices, the extremely intense lyrics (my favorite: “MY Name is Ruin/my Name is EVIL!!!”. Just knowing any dad out there loves there kids as much as Gary Numan does… it makes this middle age man weep AND repair. Stellar cast! May I sign it? -Stradlemonkey

[@heyskipj]

Here's a frightening thought. Gary Numan seems about 30 years ahead of us. And that track was delicious. 😅

[@heyskipj]

Oh, for better context I was reading Peter's great comment below about the song being about a post-apocalyptic world. Previous to that he was singing about isolation and machines taking over (Cars, Are Friends Electric...). FYI--Molly Sanborn, a YT reactor just dove into Gish and Siamese. Will do the first 4 or 5 LPs. We demanded that she not overlook "Pisces." It's been a fun ride so far.

[@MobiusBandwidth]

looking forward to what music he writes in his 80s.

[@sideswipe1261]

I believe Persia could, alone, Fix every situation. That is all.

[@daviddeath6029]

Now you have recognised his genius try his more funky we take mystery to bed from the I assassin album or maybe she's got claws from his dance album.

[@Layla.H.79]

The video was made by Chris Corner from IAMX.

[@HumanoidMachine]

You guys gotta react to HORSKH. They're taking Industrial to new heights and they're touring with Behemoth and Meshuggah right now.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

We don't take requests.

[@HumanoidMachine]

@@THEDEEPDIVE that's okay.

[@WVMothman]

I like the Numan/Sharp collaborations the best, New Thing from London Town, I Can't Stop, Radio Heart, Change Your Mind etc. It was a lost 80's pop version of himself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3fbnXppatOefJI

[@JamesPolymer]

The 12" version of _New Thing From London Town_ is the best collaboration he ever did IMO; it should have been at least as big a hit as _Change Your Mind._ It's borderline criminal that his 80s work isn't better-known.

[@bryanforis1839]

When you first hear 👂 him you hooked tubeway army you run own business record company and in documentary she asked what do you do for living I am rock star she said I never saw you do it I don’t believe you

[@originaltommy]

I LOVE this! I need onion rings right NOW!!

[@ziggy6848]

My name is Ruin , the devil seems to be talking through Numan letting all know what he does.

[@rhabdoviridae]

I certainly hope so. We wouldn’t have any good music were it not for Satan. Fact.

[@carloswheeldon2553]

I think you will find that NIN took influence from Gary Numan.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

That is 100% fact. How do you think I found Gary? It's from my fav 90s artists talking about him and his influence.

[@WengStansWorld]

Long time Numan fan....since 79...Love his music, however, I think he should stick to music and leave politics out of it.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

is this song political?

[@fizzbrew]

Such a cool sound to this one. Really enjoy it and i rarely find myself enjoying much music.

[@helgemeyer9308]

Nur das Gary Numan die Inspiration für NineInchNails gewesen ist. Nicht umgekehrt

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I said exactly that. Trent from NIN said exactly that. How did you miss it?

[@helgemeyer9308]

@@THEDEEPDIVE Entschuldigung. Ich bin 58 Jahre alt....das habe ich dann falsch aufgenommen.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

@@helgemeyer9308 I understand. Thanks for watching. We have two other Gary numan episodes as well. Hope you check those out.

[@palespirit]

You don’t hear the NiN influence at all? I’m sorry to sound rude, but that’s absolute lunacy. Wow. Just wow.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

He was being sarcastic. He heard it very clearly.

[@Papa-Anvil]

This is Nine Inch Nails Numan. The real Numan died in 1995. 😢😢

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I like the NIN numan.

[@ianbrown3304]

Don't be silly

[@entropy156]

...And was replaced by a *better* version. Automatic, Outland and *especially* Machine +Soul were terrible. Sacrifice/Dawn brought back the real artist....and killed the guy who was desperately trying to write another hit and turning out terrible crap even *he* hated instead.
