Gary Numan - My Name Is Ruin (Official Video)

[@theonlywinner]

True story. I was near the entrance to Disneyland in Calfornia, the evening of Sat. Dec. 23, 2022. And I saw him with his wife and oldest daughter. I recognized him, and called his name. His wife turned around and then he did. And it blew me away. I was lucky enough to chat with him for a few minutes and took three selfies. I remember asking his daughter if she knew how cool he was. She had headphones on and Gary said "She is probably listening to my music". Super nice guy and humble too. It made my year, as I am a big fan of his. First saw him in the 1980'sl, and 3 times in the last 6 or 7 years. He is a pioneer in the field of electronic music and very underrated and under-appreciated. He should be in the Rock Hall of Fame, but those a-holes have about a 20 year backlog to catch up on. Happy New Years to all music lovers out there!

[@JammanTV]

Nah he hasnt. I was a massive Numan fan in the 80s and stopped listening in the early 90's because he started putting out crap, and he admits himself he lost his way. Even now whilst his career is well and truly on track his music does nothing for me, all just sounds the same to me. He is obviously doing something he likes, and lots of fans clearly like it, but I imagine theres a fair few of us from the 80's that cant relate to his current style. Nothing wrong with that, its evolution.

I'm honestly really impressed by this. A lot of old artists hang onto their old sound, trying to remake their 70s or 80s sound when they don't have the strength or voice. Instead, Gary Numan has embraced modern electronic music and made something that sounds brand new.

[@melfreemans]

Cody Cromarty that's because he has real talent. Most artists just get lucky with 2 or 3 good songs then try to repeat their success. Real talent evolves regardless of the artists age.

[@basdau6487]

Interviewer: Do you feel detached from the music you made early on in your career? Numan: A little bit, yes. I do. I can’t imagine how you would feel connected to something you wrote 35, 40 years ago. Even if you’d had a fairly boring life, age alone would make you feel like a different person. The only connection that remains is what those songs did for you, how they thread through your career. From a creative or emotional point of view, they’re like the vaguest of memories. You listen to these songs, which were essentially teenage tantrums, and it’s difficult to relate to the angst that bothered you then. It’s like looking back at old film of you as a kid: it’s nearly always embarrassing. From Huckmag - 2017

[@raulio81]

I feel that. Even when I found e mails or message I wrote to someone 10 or 20 years ago, I feel like it was someone else and ask myself how is it possible I wrote that, bad or good. With regard to us, as public, fans or just consumers of any art it's different, we always connect for example, some song to some event or feeling, not all, but lot of music we listen after decades, it means feeling was strong ( feels~good~man )

[@davidbell9815]

Why does Gary bother to play these songs live anymore, then? Because they are the building blocks that have made him the truly great artist that he is today, and indeed has always been. Songs such as Cars, She's Got Claws etc. define him, and they cannot be dismissed as juvenile attempts at songwriting - right from Down In The Park, Are 'Friends' Electric? etc., he created a brand-new sound of incredible depth and maturity, and though of course he has moved on from those early years, those songs sound as fresh and full of unique imagery as they ever did and remain as testament to his great and highly original songwriting skills, in my humble opinion. Let The Machines rock!!

[@soullessbunny666]

What I find amazing, is that when he sings Cars live now, it sounds even better than when he first released it.

Gary Numan, so incredibly underrated. Fantastic work by an equally fantastic artist. Thank you Gary.

[@elliepond5984]

Jim Brice i grew up in Wraysbury nr Windsor/Staines UK, Gary grew up there too, his first job was baggage handler at Heathrow Airport, so close to us. His Mum and Dad encouraged his musical career, thank goodness they did, he is a talented man, his wife Gemma was instrumental to getting his musical career on track. The UK press were negative from the start, playing the “rich kid card”. Gary you, Gemma and your girls are fn awesome xoxox

Holy shit. Did that actually happen? Kinda off-topic. We used to have a music store over here in the UK that put all of Nine Inch Nails' music under nu-metal... Come on. When The Fragile came out they classed them as "nu-metal Gods"... People really don't have a fucking clue at times. I think the were called MVC, Music, Video, Cassette. Lasted as long as a rancid fart in the wind. As for Gary Numan, I saw him play in Southampton last year. Easily one of the best shows that I've ever seen live! Really looking forward to Intruder, and catching him live again. This guy is relentless. Strength to strength. I don't know if you've heard of Jayce Lewis? If not, I highly recommend.
