NIИ ft. Gary Numan (Metal & Cars)

I do NOT own any rights to this video. All rights goes to NIИ, Gary Numan, Producers, writers, AND ALL THE THE ENTITY'S involved. All distributors etc. I ask for your pardon to those I neglected to mention or should give credit too. All I did was patch the 2 clips that were separated.
I'm just a fan that's been with Numan since 1978. If possible, please listen to (R)evolution: The Autobiography. He mentions his personal feelings, fears, resentments, anger, and his personnel shit he was going through earlier in his career. He also mentions this particular gig that night.
Thanks for watching!!!.

[@chipford1945]

One of my favorite things about this video: it's clear that Reznor is a huge fan, and has infinite respect for Numan. He's not trying to hone in and split the singing, put himself in the spotlight with Numan; he's at the keyboard, playing as part of the band while Gary is up front singing. True respect, from one consummate musician to another.

[@scotty193]

Or simply put no room for egos both are true artists.

[@greggreen5337]

AMEN BRO

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

[@tostare]

Totes. "Reznor is my tambourine player"

[@alevigar]

That's the main thing that struck me as well. Reznor, true artist, no ego.

[@jodifisher1984]

every band since 1979 owes something to Gary Numan. Just most people don't know it.

[@Encrypted_God]

in that Genre' yes....I agree. But there are sooooo many groups that helped to pave the way.

He has no idea how many of us were influenced by him. He's a musician's musician.

I don't mind saying my eyes teared up when they broke into Cars. Always liked that song, always will. This was a bad ass version with an edge, will watch it about 20 more times before the night's over.

If there was no Gary Numan, Trent Reznor would have probably still made music but it would have sounded a lot different. NIN owes a lot to Numan and it's really cool to see Reznor pay respect and play with one of his idols like this.

[@Encrypted_God]

Well, said and I agree :)

[@stevec1770]

What got me was watching that crowd going bananas to Cars. I spoke with Gary outside of Irving Plaza in NYC about 20 years ago, and he said, "It just surprises me that anyone even remembers who I am." That was genuine humility. I think I said something like, "What do you mean? You're fucking Gary Numan!' It was something like that. Anyway, he gave me a little furtive smile. He deserves to see a whole new generation going apeshit over his music. It's as great today as it was then. Timely. And timeless.

[@msanchez1680d]

you can tell by the hair at the end how the drummer put all the heart and the energy in the last song, outstanding!!

[@badnewshooty9728]

[@stevenl5652]

Crazy ain't it a tambourine in metal! All about the music folks!

[@rodx5571]

Trent stepped up, gave him props, acknowledged his contribution and influence to NIN, and then stepped back into the background and let Gary Numan have his moment, How many premeir headliner artists hand over the spotlight and hope they get upstaged? And truth be told, the tambourine is usually handled by a stage hand or as a space filler when the instrument is at rest. Kind of like an extra in a movie. Big props to Trent Reznor for Letting a legend have his stage and his spotlight for a moment and doing the grunt work for the cause of making Gary Numans moment better. 2 sweaty men hugging is usually gay, but not this time, ha ha.

Can you imagine the power of standing on that stage. Trent Reznor and a buttload of musicians behind you, absolutely lighting up the whole place. And then they open up your signature song. It wasn't what they came for, it's not quite NIN's style. But it's your song, and you've been taking the audience on a trip and they're having a great time. Those unmistakable three drumbeats land, Gary's face lights up. And the whole crowd goes absolutely nuts.
