[@anuvabastidanakist2437]

@audio_guy I am and ping to hid gigs

[@bryanmarshall9216]

Always listening (and watching). It's something in the blood. Enjoyment for all who agrees. Numans classics and new tracks are mostly all brilliant.

[@blahblahmehable]

The pride in his face when he looks at his kid.

[@tomodonnell878]

Jen farmer what...the... FUUUUUUUCK?!!!!!

[@davidwolstenholme4676]

his daughter kids are baby goats

[@alanjones5786]

There is nothing more priceless than the look of love for a child on a parent's face. Peace.

[@Wolfsheim23]

What child? That girl? That’s great! She’s great!

[@optimumevolution]

Indeed!!

[@lorispain1]

The coolest Dad an Daughter on the planet!!

[@stormbringa]

Saw Gary N. a few weeks ago in NY. So endearing to see an encouraging dad. Such a legend! Musician and father...

[@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x]

I thought same🤍

[@MT-ek9te]

Every Teenager is jealous of Persia, she's blessed to have one of the coolest 😎 geniuses of a parent in the planet

[@ziraprod6090]

no.

[@williamvswilliamproduction8409]

Gary looks so proud of his daughter. That's lovely they can share the stage and work together.

[@richardp9539]

As he should be. An angelic voice. A kiss for the angels

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

I just listened to this album earlier today, not knowing that Gary Numan still was doing music...Loved it, to put it simply. Some of the best Industrial Rock music I've heard in a long long time.

[@Davo-007]

Glad to see after all these years there's still loads of Numanoids about 🙂

[@felixthecat3n2]

I'm here since 1978!

[@jasonstation]

They don’t make songs like this anymore. Love it.

[@therailroader]

One of only a few musicians who stills create relevant, cutting edge music 35+ years later. Numan's newer music (since 1995) is as good as his early career in the late 70s / early 80s.

[@PatRiot1967]

And getting even better..! ;)

[@marcgj123]

'My Name Is Ruin' only proves your point for me. See you at the 1000th show tomorrow night?

[@MrLgtm]

Every single version of Are Friends Electric is absolutely perfect!

[@marcyp6848]

Brilliant performance of both songs ❤ His daughter has got a beautiful voice ❤

[@dennisoliver3438]

I love that,, another Numan Human.. the world needs more music like Garys. still amazing,,

[@user-eg7bg9dz4j]

And the world is still not ready for Gary Numan !!! / 45 years / Thank you Gary

[@The_Digital_Arts_World]

Absolutely beautiful. Gary and Persia are both just awesome in this performance of “My Name is Ruin”. Gary’s music is simply timeless!

[@manolichristakis7616]

Legend, ahead of his time!

[@vixstar46]

How amazing to sing with your dad who is THE Gary Numan. Lots of kids wouldn't! Reminds me of Moon Zappa who sang with her dad on 'Valley Girls'!

[@davebass9990]

This was amazing. Ruin has a Nine Inch Nails/Old School Gary Numan vibe to it. Killer.

[@tangogrrl]

dave bass Trent is a huge fan. Check out their performance together of Cars a few years back

[@oritwolf77]

dave bass it's great

[@teufel75]

Reznor and Numan are actually friends. Trent has credited Numan with being a major music influence on him growing up and has done a few Numan covers. In an interview for Amoeba Music “What’s in My Bag?”, Numan credited Reznor with inspiring him (Numan’s wife introduced him to Pretty Haye Machine and he was hooked) and called Nine Inch Nails “probably the best band ever”. When Numan and his family immigrated to the US, Reznor even wrote him a testimonial letter for immigration authorities.

[@MoxieMike66]

And yet he's from my time period as I had his Pleasure Principle album back in the early 80's. But, you know, we're "square" and stupid. Huh, go figure.....

[@pauldevois8009]

Who els thinks that are friends electric could be re realised today and hot the top 10 if mot higher with the shit put there now

[@thekittylady7]

Lovely man and lovely daughter. And music that is as relevent as it was in 1982!

[@flatleythebardflatleytheba5597]

Mr. N. is still so cool, even after all these years. Long may he continue!

[@chrisparker7343]

Are friends is still one of the most original electronic songs ever.

[@andrewlaw]

Chris Parker Along with Down In The Park

[@edoardosella4188]

i discovered gary numan around september 2017. It's april 2018 now, and i listened to Are friends electric at least once a day, everyday since then. I literally can't get tired of that song. It just speaks to my soul somehow

[@andrewlaw]

Edoardo Sella Wow, I can't imagine you just discovering Numan last year! I hope you've bought his early discography? Telekon is my favourite album, it's also incidentally Trent Reznors. 👍

[@thomasgross6144]

I always loved engineers.

[@falcor373]

A fan from the beginning back in the eighties, still a fan today. Gary still creative. Love it.

[@paddycampbell576]

When I was 13 A.F.E. was one of the best songs I'd ever heard!

[@hawk194]

The man is a genius. Love his work.

[@victoriawilde8037]

Love Gary Numan's voice! And how talented is Persia?! 😍

[@curly437]

Omg, the host. Saw a few videos from the early 70s with him. Pleasantly surprised to see him still in the game. Love that calm voice.

[@mattmasonsinger1966]

The guy gets better and better. What he's creating now is powerful stuff, he's a brilliant performer now, and the old songs are even better performed by the more seasoned Numan. Live he is incredible.

[@AndrewBoundy]

One of the most important artists in modern music history - hands-down. Been a fan since '80 when I found out what my ears were for.

[@vulcan2691]

Saw him last night live, and was blown away by this track. Have been playing it all day since

[@romanmarecek9638]

I was 13 at the time... I love this song - also "Cars"! Still amazing! "The pleasure principle" is brilliant album with a unique voice and synthesizer sound! BTW - his daughter is simply fantastic...

[@spasmspector]

What's amazing is that Gary first appeared on shows like this and Top Of The Pops and helped him rocket to stardom, and now here he is again in all his glory alongside the next generation. I really hope Persia decides to pursue music further, but even if she doesn't, I'm sure whatever she decides to do, her dad will be proud of her. Gary is such a fantastic dad and husband to his family. Their closeness really touches the heart.

[@doyleperkins7663]

OMG! Numan still has it-a real shining star! And his daughter, Persia-what a promising young singer...

[@shocklobster]

As a dad of a 6 and a 13 year old I'm just so delighted by everything going on here. Every time he glances over at his daughter and you can see the pride and enjoyment Gary's having despite the somber tone of the song, it's so good.

[@darkstarburn1138]

Still got it. Love this. Big influence on my music. Thanks Gary. You are the original.

[@felixthecat3n2]

An unbelievably powerful song, so beautiful Gary!

[@Charlotte_Parfois]

The man is an absolute genius... Do not to die before listening to My name is ruin live... 🙌🏻

[@stevepolk1039]

A genius, I had the 45 of Cars. so many bands need to thank him for his groundbreaking music. Took my son to see him tour this album.

[@tangogrrl]

Gary is relevant and fresh as the day he first walked on stage. More so! His daughter is amazing too. Band is tight together. This album is solid. Love playing bass to it.

[@andrewfelcey5675]

Saw him in Hull this Tuesday one of the best live acts I've ever seen amazing showman !!!!

[@jparrful]

Liquid Gold.....as an artist he's simply never failed to deliver! My Name Is Ruin is simply mind blowing plus Are Friends Electric has to be one of the best tracks ever!

[@KateyMoseley]

Around 2:13, Gary looks over at Persia and you can see how proud he is of Persia!

[@howardmckenna]

I saw Persia's 'about me' vid by accident just now. Immediately came here to check this out. GREAT. Loved it. Numans are rockin'

[@Jake-mv7yo]

I like the contrast between the song lyrics and what is a wholesome family moment performing together.

[@geographyinaction7814]

I remember listening to GN through a ghetto-blaster in about 79/80, been hooked ever since. Love that he is enjoying a resurgence!

[@pauldiver3992]

he is once of the best of all time when it comes too music happy days Gary I wish u well

[@richardp9539]

The best thing to see. God bless them

[@hughiedavies6069]

What a great name, persia , Gary Numan has always been original 👏

[@sideswipe1261]

Perfect! That girl is wise beyond her years, you can just tell. I love seeing great parenting!

[@barryjefferies3201]

Can't Believe he Still ,, Has iT ,, ..!!!!😮😊❤❤❤🎉

[@duncanhawksbee5487]

Saw Gary and his great band in Denver last year. Fantastic gig! As others have said, he still has it and he is still making new and relevant music.

[@jamesfroberg3590]

I have to admit I only knew of Gary thru his song cars. Now that I have actually listened to his song catalog, I realize my life has amounted to nothing more than an artistically bankrupt waste of time. This is beyond words it is so good.

[@xFatBoyDavex]

I remember watching this a thinking “bloody hell,I want more of this”

[@blissturpin]

Can't believe how much I love this!

[@nickalkire1187]

He and Persia are awesome!!! They should do a remake of “Cars!!!”

[@mjphoto45]

Hard to top a classic

[@chrisnemo6997]

Grossartig eine Brücke zwischen Generationen !Der Mann (und seine Tochter) Respekt !! Und natürlich an die Mutter für Persia

[@maryraharaha6472]

omg they are brilliant together

[@GizmoWorcs]

One word AWESOME!!

[@pigeonpete4193]

one word SHIT

[@RupertDBayer]

Pigeon Pate. Yeah.

[@barkinstarfish]

Two words "backing track"

[@davebass9990]

Yeah there is a track they are playing on top of,but the dummer's definitely playing over the top of it,and his daughter's doing vocals live over the other vocals,and I hear guitar in this,but bass guitar not so much on Ruin.

[@jamesfroberg3590]

Pure Genius!

[@normgustafson4525]

Great performances!

[@jlsutton4819]

Watched this last night fab Numan still has it.

[@tomattime]

A musical highlight of 2018, this performance is mesmerising

[@williampile8174]

Made me a cry beautiful!

[@EatYourTv-999]

[@lindalee5871]

Excellent ......great stuff...Persia is beautiful...he must be so proud of her.

[@Lamster66]

[@TheVampyrical]

[@jerrywallop5647]

Ageless……timeless….friggin brilliant…….😍

[@DavidW8061]

[@bretpark4485]

Wow... Hasn't lost a beat. Really good stuff from the incomparable Gary Numan.

[@chrishill7455]

[@suebullock2182]

Ive loved Gary Numan from day 1. Ive seen him performing 6 times and what a performer! Such energy. He was my poster idol on my bedroom walls. Im now 62 and his music is mesmorizing and still keeps evolving i will always love him ❤

[@michaelbuecken7434]

omg so great

[@AngelicusImmortus]

Will love Gary Numan forever!

[@Thelonerangersmate]

Awesome absolutely awesome

[@Deebee950]

This is one of the best things I’ve heard all year. Gary is a genius!

[@AndrewWalker-v5t]

❤ AWESOME ❤

[@patthewoodboy]

Ruin is a great tune .. played this version too many times :-)

[@anetteperry4042]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant

[@howardatkins8558]

The Savage tour is well worth catching. His daughter Persia is great in this.

[@jamesbrousseau2736]

He should seriously consider redoing some of his songs with her on backing vocals Her voice meshes so well with the synthesizer lines and she adds a certain soft feminine touch that would contrasts nicely with the somewhat robotic hard Industrial Groove he has Yeah, totally should do that

[@doyleperkins7663]

James Brousseau Quite a good idea...perhaps you could email his web site with this suggestion...I used to be a publicist in Boston (I now reside in Hollywood), and you would be remarkably surprised to learn just how uncomplicated it would be to contact Numan's agent. A very good marketing idea, indeed!

[@jamesbrousseau2736]

Doyle Perkins I've talked to a few other people who say that yes mr. Newman is quite accessible So I may just do that

[@doyleperkins7663]

James Brousseau Go for it!

[@chrisnemo6997]

I was also proud of this doughter

[@quasarsphere]

I think he should write a new song with Persia singing lead.

[@pascallemaire5997]

Garry was just fantastique 🤘💜 belgium

[@jamesbrousseau2736]

The sound on this is great!!! Headphones a must ✨

[@tangogrrl]

James Brousseau yes the high def is incredible on phones

[@ViceSquad]

EXCELLENT 💥🖤💥

[@christinelorenz5569]

And a local Greyhound smoking a Cigarette👍love him soo much💖

[@MsRedbelly]

I will not be able to 'unhear'' that!!! Thanks, I needed a laugh today!

[@ShorrockPeter]

Nice one Gary great show❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidhines68]

Friends definitely has more of a groove here than it did in the 70s.

[@mjphoto45]

This needs to be in a movie.

[@j.a.verbeek3084]

I love it

[@tomattime]

Such a magnificent track, superbly performed.

[@melanieblackburn1866]

Amazing musician. I've seen many artists over many years but have to say Gary is one of the best I've seen live

[@oscarlopez3062]

Brillante y épica.

[@njhancock72]

Fantastic. Watched this on iPlayer. It was the only bit of the show I wanted to watch. Went to see the Preston gig if his Savage Tour last night.

[@exgunnerdaz]

A living legend ❤

[@DKLGalactus5]

We saw Gary Numan last year he was fantastic, recommend to go see him what a great voice and great band.

[@montal1409]

Gotta love when bass and guitars use effects like here. Both songs sounds reallly good!

[@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x]

Beautiful, Persia. ❤love you, Gary & Band! Keep going!
