I bet he is great company. He's so relaxed

[@SynthMagic]

There should be more of these type of videos with Gary - Brilliant. I actually find his spoken voice quite soothing, I could listen to him talk for hours.It goes without saying he is a musical genius.

[@katemara667]

***** I too find Gary Numan's voice oddly soothing. I wish he'd record some audiobooks of classic sci-fi novels. Or aviation manuals. Or synthesizer specifications. Doesn't matter, I'd listen.

[@michellegruber4187]

Synth Magic I agree, he is great. an Aspie full of talent. I love him and his music.

[@charlesmarkell5221]

I hope he doesn't kill himself over this I really appreciate him about everything he does except one thing gary talc is not good for ones body it's a cancer causer seriously stop using it. Love your music man since I was a teenager and especially now. You are beautiful you really are .... Who put you up to this? Don't let it go to your head it's the talc don't worry.

[@jeannettesummers1884]

I love Gary's honestly and compassionate heart.

[@AugerOfficial]

"Being in a group, everything is a compromise," I say this all the time to people, I knew we were alike Gary!

[@hudsonsirheshicks2653]

Regular bloke who does irregular art. No true artist buys into their own talent. Very modest abs humble

[@SherriSchrader]

I saw him live in Texas. 1982ish. Wall of Voodoo opened. Fantastic.

[@brandonbentley8532]

Envy you...

[@frankbau5837]

I wish i was there.

[@nigelcarren]

What a friggin' great bloke!!

[@damon6852]

would love to meet Gary someday...what a nice , genuine guy!!

[@coriphae8116]

"... but at least that means she's going as well." - can't stop laughing. Gary's hilarious.

[@Lorraine1265]

His smile when he said that!! :)

[@juliemarsh8716]

Gotta love him : )

[@Wimmles_Emily]

Gary is my favourite person ever

[@sooofunny37]

Use the goth woolite:Woolite Darks Laundry Detergent

[@infraredization]

Keep your clothes black by washing inside out in cold and air dry. Also Woolite

[@idleidol5184]

Confirmed pro tips

[@MeanMachinGun]

Good to see Gary again. his still doing some great stuff

[@bdog961]

This dude is where it’s at! He needs a tv show!!!

[@edmundpower1250]

Gary you're brilliant

[@DigitalCyborgman]

"You do what U want to do Best!" - Gary Numan

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love our gorgeous Gary so much forever

[@kieranwhite6647]

Legend!

[@roquefortfiles]

I will never forget hearing "CARS" for the first time. That is a landmark song. People today have to understand that up that point in music nobody had ever heard ANYTHING like it. When that came on the radio and the opening ....."wahahwhawhawahawhawha". you stopped and listened. It was alien. A great song. And still a great song.

[@LFOVCF]

Gary, do one of those sleep tracks. Great mellow voice.

[@nsbd90now]

I've liked his music since the beginning, but this is the second interview I've seen. He seems like such a great guy! Now I like his music even more. lol!

[@duncanshipman3713]

A very humble man.

[@grammarnazi7428]

GARY NUMAN THE LEGEND!

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

Wonderful advice. Mainly on breakups

[@selmiville2922]

Love ❤️ him

[@ForViewingOnly]

2:27 Hilarious :-) Gary Numan is wonderful.

[@huguini2893]

He seems so.smooth, it would be great to.know him. Also.humble as well.

[@gregparker9614]

Very good advice, and as we are loners, groups are not the best idea :)

[@novo611]

Great guy. 😉👍🇮🇪

[@christinamccauley6996]

I Fu--en love you GARY!!

[@Replicess2012]

Legend. ;)

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I do love him

[@panther105]

This was hilarious.....

[@scottlebrun6782]

Are dark clothes a metaphor for hair? I think someone was trolling Gary on that one. GN rules. What a down to Earth guy.

[@sociocomm724]

They might not be a troll actually. Some brands of laundry detergent really do strip the black dye out of clothing. Plus side to that I guess is you eventually find out why your "black" clothes don't match because they not only turn grey but sometimes end up fading to brown or green or a very very dark blue. Use Arm & Hammer with Oxyclean folks. Lol

[@MrThomas1958]

thank you

[@ladystardust2008]

Oh he's so lovely 😍 He had sheep? Well I never...🤖🐑

[@veroniqueboissacq-allen5386]

he's such a simple truefull funny person :-)

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

He’s so cute!

[@user-js3rg9sj1k]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@RedCyanPhotos]

Black clothes- Dylon!

[@Moved2NewPh0ne]

Sounds like an awesome 😎 dude 😊

[@control9179]

Don't do man and van removals like I did self-employed for 17years! Mind you I always 'hummed' his tunes in my head whilst driving!

[@mrsmixmusic4925]

Some of these are very stupid questions. I would love Gary to collaborate with KoЯn

[@dollno99]

Funny as hell! Omg reality tv material he and the misses for sure I hope he doesn't do it.

[@repairitdontreplaceit]

radio 2 then 4 when ken bruce comes on

[@thebighorseinthefield7804]

Cool bass playng by the lady with blonde hair

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Cute (8

[@bennyjorgensen]

Love the background music. It's really not "Gary style" :-D

[@RedCyanPhotos]

That is Gary Numan playing in the background & he’s finally doing music he wants to!

[@waterandafter]

" _She's_ going." I am surprised.

[@Amperzand]

You're surprised he's straight? He's been married for 22 years to a woman!

[@waterandafter]

Amperzand Yeah. I never followed him closely and always got a gay vibe off him. There's nothing wrong with it. My gaydar's been wrong before.

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

His wife Gemma is his rock. He writes songs about her too. Often sites she is his best friend too. I love the way he adores her. Watch the doc Android in La La Land. Great film about him making the record Splinter

[@yuryzangiev7578]

I sure he said something cool...but damn,i so hard to understand the British English)))heheh) P.S.Waiting the new album!!!))))

[@SullenMorbius]

His wig is extraordinary! Bless his heart ...

[@mariabaverstock1765]

LUCY ELI ZABETH oh Lucy, well said.

[@LFOVCF]

Just why?

[@RedCyanPhotos]

It’s not a wig or a weave- it’s a hair transplant?! Why on every video he’s featured in, are there comments that are rude, about his hair?! People need to get a life & it looks awesome anyway!

[@SullenMorbius]

@@RedCyanPhotos it's a wig

[@heru-deshet359]

I thought Morton Downey Jr. was dead.

[@SherriSchrader]

Thumb down

[@therespectedlex9794]

Henry Morton Stanley "Dr Livingstone I presume?" No?

[@mickthegyp]

@LUCY ELI ZABETH He is a God and i`ve been praying to "The Alien" for 41 years that man is a Legend😎😁👍
