Been a fan for 44 years. Since I was 15. This year, I will be 60. I will die a Gary Numan fan. I am so proud of him and love him dearly.

Me too...i will be 62 this year and also a fan from the beginning so thats a long time. I absolute love the show with the Skaparis Orchestra, just bought that cd/dvd resently...cant stop watching it.❤❤❤

Exactly the same for me...60 in December. Unfortunately didn't get to see him live until the Warriors tour. My love for electronic music began with Gary. LEGEND!

The British press absolutely hated him but fortunately it just made the fans ( me) just love him more! I’ve seen him live many times over the years including being devastated at Wembley in 81 when he decided to retire. I’m waiting patiently for May where he will be playing Glasgow with The pleasure Principle and Replicas albums. I can’t believe at the age of sixty I’m still able to go watch Gary Numan live. First concert. The Pleasure principle tour Glasgow Apollo, my first concert and his first live appearance. ❤🖤❤️🖤

the NME for instance would groom & hype their own discovery or scene . they’d jump on a cool bandwagon & be its champion until as DG says get bored then the act or scene was doomed. In 1980 the NME was as powerful as The Sun or Der Spiegel but in rock music terms & the NME was overtly Left wing .Gary Numan caught them all out by appearing to come out of nowhere ! Phil Oakley spoke of he & his band & electro loving mates being shocked when Gary had first reached the singles chart & appeared on bbcs Top of the Pops the same week - they’re in front of their tv going ‘ wtf - who is this ?’ although he & Human League unlike the music press wasn’t negative whatsoever re Garys’ music or success .

I was a mate of Gary at school. Great effort of a doco! You’ve portrayed him as a decent, lovely bloke from a lovely family. His mum Beryl used to cut my hair and his, in the Bowie style. His old man spoiled him rotten with a sound proof room to practise with his Gibson Les Paul and Rickenbacker base. Back then, Gary was teaching himself music. Great guy. Delighted for his success!

What a legend. I confess to shedding a tear at the end. Third row and centre at the first Wembley gig, missed the second unfortunately, Australia is just a little too far out. He played as big a role in my teen years as anyone could. Truly someone to aspire to. Deepest respect Gary. You are a true legend.

Ive been a Tubeway Army/Numan fan since 1978. His music has changed so much in the last 40 odd years, i think his new stuff is bleeding fantastic. Long may he reign. And a big thank you to Gemma for taking such good care of him...without her i dont think he would still be making his unique style of music. Love you Gary.

I had the pleasure meeting him unfortunately I had low blood sugar and he recognized it and he went on his tout bus and got me some juice from his fridge and his drummer put me in his car rental so I could cool off cuz it was extremely hot that night waiting for him to come out from his concert. I loved how he gotten darker with his music. He had his family with him on tour but his mother had Already died, but his wife and his dad. He needs their support, he finds his grounding within with them. I think it's awesome.

The ending when Gary is so terrified to walk on stage and with Gemma's reassurance for him to push on is heart breaking breaking but awe inspiring to confront his demons. I thank Gary from the bottom of my heart on giving me the inspiration to create music for myself and walking into that instrument shop back in Manchester 1996 and buying my first second hand Analogue synthesizer a Roland Juno 6 that I still own to this day ❤

I am guilty of comparing his work to Killing Joke's, but he has kept the emotions broiling while avoiding specific commentary. Themes be damned (Bowie reinventing): He sings about moments, not ages, and that is anthemic, at its core.

Gary's music is absolutely unique and unforgettable. The synthizers just soar,and crackle with electricity,yet his songs are very emotional as well.A true musical genius who deserves the adulation he gets from his fans,and I am one since 1979 after hearing Are Friends Elecric the first time.

Numan saved my life ... foe better or worse. He shared his abstruse ideas, when no one else did. He was an angel sent from somewhere. That he sang his esoteric lyrics in the face of such assholes, he is a true angel. I hope he has access to angelic power, he deserves it. A sub-order genius... he lives in another dimension of his own design.. . Normal numbers cannot define him. We are both pilots, what kinship. But ultimately, if John Foxx loves your art, you are amongst the coolest people on the planet.

I am 55 years old and have been a fan since 1979, so 45 years now (WOW) when CARS came on AM Radio and I heard that warble, I got so excited and then the snare drum, etc. The B side of Cars was METAL, one of my favorite songs, and the one bass slide is what made me want to play bass guitar, and I've been playing for over 30 years now. Gary Numan is in his 60's now in 2024 and still looks like he's 30 on stage. The guy is unstoppable !

I was working in the kitchen of a nightclub called Pantiles in Bagshot, Surrey when Gary walked in. At the height of his career, with bleached blonde hair, and looking cool as fuck, he looked at me and said, and I quote, "D'ya wanna cup of tea ?". I just looked at him for a couple of seconds as i realised the situation and said, "Yeah cheers mate". He had come to pick up his girlfriend at the time who was a go-go dancer at the club. He made me and my friend a cup of tea and we had a quick chat about nothing, and then his girlfriend entered to which he said his goodbyes and they left. Absolutely lovely bloke, very down to earth and humble. I've never forgotten how "normal" the whole situation was, as if he was a mate when in reality at that time he was the man. Even though the so called music critics of the time were slating him and his music, the real listeners and honest critics of his art, us, knew it was way ahead of its time and that this man was a genius. And even to this day, his music from the late seventies early eighties is still ahead of this time. His music is genuine, honest and from the heart. It is music from a tortured soul searching for the truth and love of God !

This man is a genius, it really touched me in the end, everybody thinks he's fab, but still he's got this stage fever before Wembley, like as if it was his first concert, but once on stage the man the legend stands there. And not to forget his close family who are the pillars, the foundation of his being. A true Artis with an original sound, something we often mis in these times…

Was at Wembley, when he walked out on stage I was crying. Been a Numanoid since 1979 and always will be, through the good times and the bad times, and now the resurrection. An incredible songwriter, musician and technological genius, someone who pushes to the limit and beyond with synth sounds and indeed sonic sounds, Omnisphere is a brilliant piece of software that he uses and some of the sounds he coaxes from that make me think "how did he do that??" Cannot wait to see what he comes up with next...........

In 1979 two transformative bits of music, for me, was the Gary Numan song Cars and the Styx album Grand Illusion. I was also greatly moved by (then) Walter Carlos' Switched on Bach. A few short years later Duran Duran sealed my fate as a Bass player. My passion for this kind of music still resonates all the way back to 1979. At nearly 60 now, the music still takes me back to a moment in time. The best music always accomplished this. Savage ( Songs from a Broken World ) is the best bit of music I'd heard in nearly a decade. It seemed the back ground music to Covid. Chilling to think about.

i was 15 in 1979 & his 1st appearance on TOTP was as big a thing at our school as the 1st Pistols’ appearance 2 years previously. he out-did the lot of those chart acts by being outside the pop or punk or new wave or disco king or rock cliques whilst bringing probably the coolest act of the 2nd half of the decade to the show since Bowie or Bolan before . watching this video has been an inspiration because I’ve experienced those same challenges Gary has lived with my take on the world & those filling it on a sometimes overwhelming basis is soo familiar.

Keep being sweet, vulnerable, chaotic, genuine you Gary, you absolutely 100% deserve every success you achieve(d) past present and future. One more thing, just.....Thank you Gemma, just thank you, for caring and for loving someone, unconditionally, "warts n all" as they say, as thats what love is, acceptance of each others frailties, and supporting each other through thick, thin, and sometimes thicker! An absolute match the stars, and destiny decided were right for each other and who needed each other....those "stars" eh? Mischievous little buggers! 🙄😏🥰 PS....a massive shout out to Garys Mum and Dad, who stood by, in his own words, a difficult child no one wanted to educate, deal with, or understand, at a time in the 70s when difficult kuds were thrown in childrens homes, mental asylums or borstals...which for some parents, was an easy or at least, EASIER choice. That revelation melted my heart. 💖

First track that clicked with me was Do you need a service, b side track, maybe from Are friends electric or down in the park. One of my brothers played it and that was my connection. I always liked rock from early age, and that track had it, the hook and style got me. Did take me couple of listens of Replicas album to really appreciate the synth sound back then. Growing up on T.Rex and then very early punk, the sounds numan brought to many of us not aware of synths too much was stunning. A true legend, and numan brought a big connection to my brother who introduced my ears to numan. No longer have my brother but the memories live on due to numans music.

I got into synths and bought a Moog because of Gary :) I would say there was some kind of influence there :) I remember getting my hands on a Mini Freak synth and the first thing I programmed was a poly Moog type sound! guess what! Someone criticised me! asked me why are you trying to make Gary Numan sounds out of this modern machine! So un-original and old! I’m like ‘I wouldn’t be into synths if I didn’t listen to Numan! and when I mess with a machine, Gary sounds will always be a blueprint to me as a starting point and I have fun doing it’ plus, I was annoyed with people complaining as I have the skills to programme!!! thought they would appreciate my efforts :) I create other sounds as well! I’m open to try everything :) but Gary’s sounds always the ones that started it all for my synth passion

I discovered Gary Numan in 1980 as a 10 year old. My neighbor friend introduced me and my other friends to "Cars". Every time I hear it it takes me back in time to the younger days. My oldest child has Aspergers, I think its called something different now. Anyhow it takes a lot of patience to understand him. He only has a few friends and it breaks my heart when he tells me he feels alone. On the flip side he does have a laser focus on things that interest him just like what Gary Numan talks about. My wife and I are doing exactly what Gary's parents have done, just letting him be himself. Thanks for the great music Gary.

But it was the entire album that was good… are friends electric….down in the park. Later when I got a synthesizer many of the patches are named after Gary or are called numan. He is a legend. Jarre, Gary , Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk.
