GARY NUMAN INTERVIEW - What to expect - 45th Anniversary The Pleasure Principle / Replicas Tour 2024

[@richardpotter712]

Such a gent. Back in the day when he lived in Surrey, if you knocked on his front door he would open up, sign autographs and chat for ages. Amazing person. Best thing about his electronic music, is that he kept a traditional drum kit, which was unheard of at the time.

[@Bear2man858]

Love how he explained the way he will not change the old songs . But make it bigger thicker. True talent

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Cheers Paul, glad you liked the chat and yeah, was a great show!

[@garyfeltham302]

Great interview genuine humble a real pioneer .

[@nigelgoodwin5094]

Great interview. So honest and humble is our Gary! Can't wait to see you in Birmingham on 31 May! Yes! NUMAN IS!

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Thanks nigel :)

[@CatsHolisticHaven]

Same here!!

[@helgemeyer9308]

Ich bin 58 Jahre alt. Ich bin mit der Musik von Herrn Gary Numan aufgewachsen. Herr Numan ist ein sehr netter und höflicher Mensch. Schön das es Gary Numan gibt.

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Ja, er war wirklich freundlich und überraschend enthusiastisch, denn dies war wahrscheinlich sein millionstes Interview!

[@stevebutterworth]

Brilliant interview 👏 great shout for telekon next year.

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Much appreciated Steve

[@AGITPROP65]

A bloody wonderful man! 🖖

Hello Maurice I've just come across and watched this 20+ minute interview with you & Gary and I went to see him at Birmingham last Friday 31/05/2024 and it was truly amazing!! I went with 2 other lads who I went to see him at Wembley(The Old One) to the "Living Ornaments" in 1981 ( I was Only 17 back then) I am nearly 61 now !!..........where has the time gone?? 43+ years ago? ......Anyway it was great to see him live singing the classic Replicas / Pleasure Principle LP's.........When Gary set up with Tubeway Army he was well ahead of his time back then as when you think that "Are Friends Electric" was about robotic prostitutes with the oncoming AI and other technologies it says it all really. He came along at the right time as Punk was a fast explosion between 76 & 80 that went as quick as it came because I know I was a Punk also at the time and with the advent of New Romantics & Electronic that was the time to be ahead of curve so to speak?.........Great Interview / Great Gig at B'ham / Great to reminisce and reflect on the last 45+ years and Many Thanks Paul. Ps I was also a great fan of John Foxx / Ultravox / OMD / Human League / Heaven 17 / Depeche Mode / Simple Minds and anything with a Synth!!!

[@haraldbente2101]

Fully agree Paul, am same age and me and my best friend collected and ordered every Album or 12'' Maxisingle on Synthpop, Electronic music which was released at that time. Beside the commercial success of above bands there were also interesting alternative Electro Indiebands like Portion Control, Severed Heads (Australia), Hula, etc. Cheers from Frankfurt.

[@andybrown4361]

Great interview. My musical hero..👍

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Cheers Andy. ENjoy :)

[@bels4116]

I wish he'd come back to Australia, love to hear Replicas live. Awesome in interview.

[@euth]

Thanks for this, this was lovely. Saw Gary a couple of nights ago and he didn't disappoint. Absolute legend! ❤

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Thank you very much, glad you liked :)

[@karldonald8150]

Met Gary at an edge of an airfield too Maurice, City of Derry airshow, early 90,s , talked with him for ages , met him again afterwards in the White Horse inn , hope to make it up on time on Friday to see him in the Limelight in Belfast

[@LAMags]

Such a great interview!! Saw Gary in March in Toronto / Ministry.. brilliant show . Really hopes he brings the 45 yr tour back to North America 🤞. Luv from Canada 🇨🇦🎹📀🎵

[@MauriceJayMusic]

[@MauriceJayMusic]

[@airlane66]

Can’t wait to see you in Glasgow, 6 friends coming this time. Loving Raven’s work too. She looks so like you.

[@barroncrist5779]

He must be very proud of his daughters joining him onstage.

[@rikgay857]

Nice one,looking forward to the gig! Good friends with Andy Lowry👍

[@helentrove620]

Great interview, Gary is such a great down to earth friendly guy. I'm looking forward to seeing him at the Bournemouth 02 on 30th May! 😄

[@MarkDavies-s3g]

Me and my gorgeous wife too. Seen Gary many times and never disappoints.

[@MauriceJayMusic]

[@theaudioeng]

Cool interview 😎 👌 ..... looking forward to seeing Gary & the boyz at 1st night at Roundhouse May 25th, can't wait!!! 🎹🎶🎵💥🍻

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Thank you :)

[@sonicart1808]

Great to see Gary revisiting his incredible back catalogue, I think it would be something to see Gary create a film score for a futuristic film and team up with someone like Hans Zimmer.....

[@sjr.digital5959]

I was at Duxford then too. Fantastic times.

[@anewton4375]

Brilliant 👏

[@kevcatnip7589]

GREAT GOOD LUCK cheers MAURICE

[@comeonneiljustone]

Looking forward to the new album

[@CAM-nn4bx]

[@BBlooger]

Very nice interview.

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Thank you B Blog :)

[@PhilipOgden-m7z]

He has had to retell most of these tales to the interviewers but does it with such enthusiasm.

[@steveviper1913]

Enjoyed this as it was such a good interview and Gary very at ease. Nice points of interest throughout and now looking forward to seeing the tour in Manchester.

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Thank you Steve, muchg appreciated

[@eyoung1683]

Attended both the Pleasure Principle & Telekon tours in Pgh, Pa

[@alisonkovacs9519]

Love our darling gorgeous gary so much he seems such a lovely person would love to meet him

[@jamesshepherd4666]

You can obtain meet and greet tickets where you meet him before the sound check. Which you get to watch!!!!

[@alisonkovacs9519]

​@@jamesshepherd4666thanks so much x

[@adztaylor2277]

See you at Bristol (27th May) Mr Webb. A celebration of two epic albums. Good luck with the tour. All the best.

[@jamesshepherd4666]

Looking forward to that date too. I haven’t heard that many old songs since 1983

[@headron66]

Awe wow can’t wait Glasgow O2 on Tuesday!!!! This is the guy that NME magazine said no one will EVER be influenced by Gary Numan Kanye West Franz Ferdinand Marilyn Manson Shirley Manson Sugar Babes Nine Inch Nails Dave Grohl To name but a few!! ❤️❤️🖤🖤

[@ScubaSteveo55]

I heard new album next year, he'll yeah!

[@ArronPrince-ym7cy]

Great interview I'm going to see him in Manchester on 6th June

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Cheers Arron

[@spencersmith7266]

I agree, you need to maintain the original, fundametnal soundscape. Vox Humana emulation etc. Great discussion - thanks. 🙂

[@marcraygun6290]

Going tomorrow, whoop whoop

[@TamTamster]

He was very lovely on that interview.

[@thiagofreigedo]

If next year is new record time, I'd love to see all those live albums from 2019 to 2023 being released before.

[@Fruityfox85]

See you in Manchester!!

[@2009numan]

will Gary be getting my friend Matt Jessup to program the synth sounds for the pleasure principle again like he did last time

[@ArronPrince-ym7cy]

I'm going see him Manchester June 6th

[@alientracker140]

Will always been known as a GIANT of electronic and industrial Rock music - why isn't he in the Music Hall of Fame !!! By the way Gary, touring the whole world is AUSTRALIA my friend !!!

[@2009numan]

Gary said this would be the first time he would be doing the pleasure principle, but he has already done the pleasure principle and telekon live before

[@Grid56]

He actually says he hasn't done it for years and years, not that he hasn't ever done it.

[@rdzu834]

8:57 “This is the first time I’ll be doing The Pleasure Principle *in years*.” He even said “years” with emphasis. Then repeated “years” 3 more times. But in your head that translates to “he said this is the **first** time he’ll be doing The Pleasure Principle!” Don’t twist his words and argue against something he never said.

[@justgoclockwise2499]

So much for not doing the nostalgia thing. New material would be nice.

[@xlr82u]

Was at the 30th anniversary of the Pleasure Principle in 2009. Brilliant gig and kind of tempted to go to the 45th anniversary tour

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

I am old enough to remember when he retired.

[@kevinofford6758]

See you in Leeds

[@cnfuzz]

The fact that he underplays the brilliance of are friends electric is a testament that he doesn't understand what set it apart in quality compared to the industrial goth slop he makes today

[@jennaleigh-raine]

Wish the questions were different from what we know. Why is Dance never really touched...how long do you intend to go on. Etc

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Don't recall seeing any other interview revealing the format of the upcoming 45th Anniversary tour and how the songs will be delivered sonically, or a bit more insight into his daughter's careers, but there ya go. As a wise old sage once told me, "you can't please any of the people, any of the time", or words to that effect.

[@simongurden9848]

Yes dance has some of my favourite songs not least because of Mick Karn. Very sort of metropolitan sound to it

[@rjnuzzi1648]

Bowie had him escorted out of a building once... he was jealous!!!

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Aren't we all :)

[@douglaskelly6968]

I wonder why he didn't play Dublin

[@jimconnelly3362]

Charles Spencer or MANSON?

[@justgoclockwise2499]

Always been a big fan of Gary’s music. I thought the last album definitely wasn’t his best. Please get back to the more darker and heavier style that suits you best. I’m all for saving the world etc,but it doesn’t suit your style. All the best

[@opticalman6417]

he had a face left and hair inplants

[@Wonky4925]

Gaz, please dont bastardise the classics.. give Harris the tour off!

[@cnfuzz]

Pretty much lost interest after strange charm , last great track that was key Numan was on there " my breathing"

[@Wonky4925]

Brillaint!

[@ArronPrince-ym7cy]

I'm going see him Manchester June 6th
