Most who even know his name, only think of "Cars"... He is so much more than that. A pioneer on many levels. Highly underrated. It's a crime. My opinion.

[@mimosa27]

+D.E. Manning Can you elaborate please? I want to know more about his influence and legacy.

[@MoniqueTheBeatsSkateChannel]

Couldn't have said it better!!! 😃👍🏼

[@rubenthekid]

Yup, I think of Gary Numan I think of berserker, down in the park, joe the waiter, bleed, the life machine, and magic. Other people who claim they know him are basics.

[@josephguzzi1107]

Agreed!!! 👌🏽

[@mindseye451]

+Ruben Contreras Down in the park is one of my favorites, especially the remix from Cleopatra records by the title of, "Gothic: Vampires at Night." Yes, berserker is also my favorite, especially, "My Dying Machine."

[@akiramenai4973]

I can't believe he can still sing and write like this at 60. The man should be put in charge of the world's music production.

[@skynow84]

Numan is clearly in the future

[@PatchesO92.]

I heard this song in Need For Speed Rivals and I got hooked on his music, love how he puts everything together, love this guy. 💯💯💯💯

I feel sad only knowing of Cars and Are Friends Electric my whole life. I’m rediscovering Gary Numan, and I’m gonna be honest here: I freakin love what I found!! Gary Numan RULES

[@eddies838]

same after discovering Meg Myers ,Trent's follower, I rediscovered Trent/ NIN and then rediscovered Gary to wind up here. way to go ,eh?

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Same here. Love both Gary & Meg

[@eddies838]

@@richardsylvanus2717 you know whats funny? First month I discovered Meg Myers I was listening to her songs all month then checked out NIN and then from the NIN group rediscovered Gary. Now all three make up most of my listening. Something about Gary's darker side of darkness balances out Meg Myers lighter side organic with NIN in between. Just me riding the wave and look where it got me!

[@GTgaming98]

I discovered Gary Numan when I heard are friends electric on Need For Speed Carbon and thought Hear his other music and must say he’s a great musician can’t wait for more music from him I enjoyed his new song intruder

[@freddieparrydrums]

I’m 14 and went on a nostalgia trip on NFS Rivals today. Remember playing it 8 years ago. This song came on and gave me so many memories

[@zekkampung2235]

The guy can still sing... it's even better than the 80s... Most underrated

[@maotemplar]

Gary Numan is just a fucking genius! He inspired generations of musicians and lot of them should pay the right tribute to him.

[@blade65dagger]

they will pay dearly

[@rijmertspreeth4575]

Most of them do, Trent Reznor practically worships Numan.

[@SpressoHead]

Jeez, can`t believe I`ve been listening to Gary almost 40 years, and his newer shit is just blazing hot!

[@lryuzaki1192]

You have awesome taste, my friend

[@The1stMrJohn]

Another older person 👍 I bought his first vinyl after hearing it on the John Peel show, i think i was about 14? From memory I think that it was sping 1979 here in England.

i totally agree with you, like you i have followed him for years but his new stuff is another level, in my opinion it soooo much better

[@TheSmiler62]

THAT is how it is done....Modern "Artists" take note. Mr Numan...We salute you.

[@budgey0065]

Luved this guy in the 80's and just discovering his new stuff now. What a talent! Mega Super Star! Brilliant multi media genius!

[@tonystark1314]

Gary has my utmost respect for everything he's done, at the age of 56 he's still kicking ass more than a lot of other people out there how can you not like a song like this no matter how old you are, i'm 22 this is as up to date as it can be in my opinion..

[@akiramenai4973]

I'm hoping to become his younger, 23-year-old self now at 53. Recently discovered electronic music production and If nothing else, it's a GREAT HOBBY! (Get Spire and Zebra, and blaze your own trail!)

[@jasonwhite-composer]

@@akiramenai4973 I recently purchased Omnisphere! It’s amazing and being able to turn my own voice into musical instruments is wonderful😀

[@akiramenai4973]

@@jasonwhite-composer Omnisphere is great. But Zebra can do some awesome sounds that I find even better than much of what Omnisphere ships with. Obviously Omni is better overall, but both of them have some tricks that the other doesn't. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd probably stick with Zebra. Also the sounds Spire is capable of are just so amazingly awesome...so many of the factory presets really GRAB my attention, where so many of Omni's seem so worthless (to me). Way too many vocal derivatives, hang drums, kalimbas, etc.. Either way, the important thing is enjoying the magic of having musical ideas that you yourself find as good as or better than stuff people pay money for.

[@Ayanamiel]

One thing about Gary Numan that hasn't changed since the late 70s -- he knows how to make a goddamn hook/chorus.

[@princeloci]

only became a fan recently... been missing out

[@victologic]

poor kid :D

[@teodorteodoriu7876]

[@lisazoria2709]

Me too... since only a few months ago. Wish I'd discovered him earlier.

Yes , yes you have been missing out . That is really sad .

[@sequoia6103]

I've also missed out BUT he is on tour and has quite the discography to 'discover'!

[@lordcron]

Reconnecting with this man's music after almost 30 years. Great Music! Loving it!

[@evym4233]

You can hear the roots of this in his 80's stuff, what a great direction for him to go, gothic industrial seems to suit for a label if one needs one for it. I saw Gary Numan live last year, in a small local music venue. The building is old, with original wooden floors that vibrate under you feet. You can FEEL the bass. This stuff is HARD live...and you can feel it to the core of your bones. Incredible. One of the better small venue shows I have ever been to.

[@TheKlosse]

I didn't know much about Gary Numan, then I discovered him two days ago. Now I'm in total Gary Numan psychosis ;) I have been listening for all the songs I have missed out on nonstop while working, ordered Splinter yesterday. Totally in love, especially with his newer songs!

[@peterknight8678]

Loved his music in the early 80’s, saw him live back then, recently discovered his later music in 2024, confirming I am still, and always will be a “Numanoid” ❤❤❤ great work Gary…don’t ever give up or stop what you do best..!

[@PumpkinLicorice]

He's got beautiful eyes.

[@dougm118]

Ever time I see Sean Payton from the Saints, his eyes remind me of Gary's (without the eyeliner of course) :) Poor Gary, now he knows what all drywall sanders go through.

[@erictroxell2298]

not to sound rude or a jerk, but even as a guy, im awestruck by his eyes as well. he s so not afraid to bear his soul and powerful voice/talent with all of us. so awesome. his daughter is beautiful as well and also has his eyes. in the i am ruin video her eyes are amazingly mesmerizing.

[@davidmg1925]

He wears an awful lot of makeup. Whether that's a good things as a role model is up to you to decide. He's obviously taken in a few vulnerable people here.

[@PaniacThrilla]

Bitch, you've got beautiful thighs,.

[@williamblack7400]

the legend of Numan lives on..he ran out of ideas in the nineties but gradually returned with a winning joy division and nine inch nails refrain..im seeing him soon in Norwich

We we're dust in a world Of grim obsession. We wouldn't taunt from mouth Like an isolation. We we're pulled from our path Of least resistance. And the songs we sang What became of us? We're here waiting for you We're here waiting for you We are yours We're waiting for you We are yours We're waiting for you We all pray for the end For the god to take us. We we're falling down One by one. We we're weak and the fear Was all around us. The machines screamed from Moon to sun. We're here waiting for you We're here waiting for you We are yours We're waiting for you We are yours

Thank you!!!

[@mymoonams]

Thanks 😊

[@justchill1268]

Thanks

[@spiralsun1]

Maybe the greatest lyrics ever. Reminds me of Bradburys “And there will come soft rains”. The sad thing is how do you tell people who have sacrificed their souls on an altar of symbols while behind the symbols the source of all meaning WAS the soul they sacrificed before being caught in the prison of mirrors? It’s a dilemma I used to cry over, and if I didn’t have a faith upon which hub whole galaxies turn, then I would have been long dead myself.Long dead. But I am not dead. And that is enough to do what I was put here to do.

[@tokyo1469]

I was a massive fan of Gary Newman when I was just 10 years old !! Cars..... I was too young for earlier tubeway army, but at 10 years old in 1979 this was my introduction to a new sound & I've been hooked on music ever since. This guy just breaks the mould, continuously !

[@novens]

40 years I've been a fan, Down in the Park 1979- Are friends electric- Tubeway Army. Great to see him still out there. I tried to get backstage at his concert at the Apollo Theatre in Manchester, unfortunately, I was booted. Great artist!

[@MrZiggy019]

Gary Numan is a fuckin pioneer....and still incredible decades later !!!!!

[@curtisunit]

I always know Gary will reinvent himself. He always looked forward. I was expecting bold new territory but I wasn’t prepared for this. He sings stronger, clearer and more aggressively than ever in the past. His writing hits hard. It’s like he’s getting younger rather than growing older. Inspirational.

This is stunning! Easily the best video I've seen in the last 20 years and probably the best Gary has ever done (although there will always be a soft spot for "I Die: You Die")... Gary Numan, renaissance man, rock god and frickin genius!!!

[@manicbunny8287]

Now I must watch. ; )

[@Zonex123]

My thoughts exactly, sir!

[@mikureloaded]

Chris Corner of IAMX directed this video, so you have him to thank for the amazingly shot video.

[@ultrafloss492]

I'm sorry, yes the clip and music are both fantastic but if this has been the best video you have seen in the last 20 years, there are a lot (really a lot and even more outside of the genre) of music video's you have missed sir. :) Everytime I hear the guitar (or sample guitar part) I have to think of Antichrist Superstar from MM. Anyways, great song and I hope we can enjoy soon more of this :D

Fucking brilliant! This Industrial Metal direction he has taken is incredible!I bought the Splinter album the other week and I love it! PLEASE make a music video for Here In The Black next, that's the best song on the album!

[@TheLemonKid01]

Yeah, you're absolutely right, Here in the Black is simply amazing and warrants a video. The best song he's released in over a decade. Love the chorus. I wish he would make a remix that would include the chorus a few more times.

[@OriginalSammyZ]

TheLemonKid01 Another vote here! Here in the Black clearly worthy of effort/attention. And ideal for professional video treatment, like I am Dust got here! (love the combination of imagery and sound-syncing. Beautifully timed slow-mos and pauses etc) But for those who can't wait for an official HitB vid, I did cobble together a fan edit. Far from perfect, but it is SOMETHING. Heh.

This is not Industrial Metal...

[@iwtv2007]

Nicholas Vladd I always thought of it as Electronic Industrial (I mean you can't say Gary without mentioning electronic music), but saying Industrial Metal isn't terribly far off...Industrial Rock is more like it.

[@eBrigid]

That voice. What the hell...how does he do it. I can hardly understand how someone can be this creative, every song across his entire career is so consistently good (even David Bowie had some misses, I don't see them here!), his vision is constant, he never falters. He is not one of those musicians who is like, oh I ran out of ideas, lemme do a reggae album, when that is not who they even are. He truly is The Nu Man. Can't begin to imagine what one his shows must be like, with this devoted fanbase, every person is probably singing the lyrics with him, must be intense.

[@lisarayment44]

I absolutely love it, Gary Numan sings from the heart and feels so much. He is a musical "god" and rocks!!! I love him XXXXXXX.

A lot of the older folk, like me, remember when he started, he was so original it was amazing, but, though some of us older ones still like the old stuff, and like me, think his music has evolved for the better, you will always get a few (I die You) die hard fans who can't catch up to who he is now, I think he's better now than he was in 79 and the 80's, he's like Bowie, he innovates, his true fans are still true fans, but he has had a couple of generations of new true fans following too, can't be doing too bad there me thinks
