Gary Numan "Scar" on In Bed With MeDinner 1994

gary performed scar on this Tv program, in '94.

[@marpsr]

Imagine you’re a demoralized Gary Numan fan and this drops. So much promise for the future that has since been fulfilled. Amazing reinvention! Gary is the best!

[@null140]

I know a lot of people don't like this goth style as much as his original numan/machine style, but you surely have to agree: turning around from the funk era of 92-3 was the best decision he made in years.

[@toma.4808]

Ryan Thomas oh i agree! Ill gladly take this and his newer stuff over crap like machine and soul and outland. However i am a big joe hubbard and pino palladino fan, so warriors and i, assassin get a pass in my end

[@DannieGemz]

personally i loved his goth time and everything since he moved with the times, some of those bands from the 80's stayed there and while that might be good for the old folks, it never does the artist any good to stay in the past, if he did he would be washed up now, im glad he made the choices he did

[@chrisnuma6]

Yeah man -- TJ Davis. Brilliant singer, check out her vocal performance on the "Dream Corrosion" live album. Hard to believe it's been 23+ years since 'Sacrifice' was released. Richard + Ade + brother John -- soooo young here.

[@newellbate]

Always pushing music forward. Hard working group.

[@CrashManUltra]

I absolutely love this. There’s something slightly corny about it, and I’m sure that was true at the time as well, but it’s just oozing with authenticity and energy. I can’t help but get up and dance whenever I hear that piano chorus- looks like Gary feels the same.

[@rhysseddon7279]

Brilliant, sacrifice was the first gary numan I listened to all the way through and was the album that made me love gary numan and music

[@PatrickIngham21]

You need to see him live! i saw him 8 times in 2009, he's brilliant!

[@andypattison7810]

P Ingham seen him at warriors tour at least 10 that was 84

[@brynieke]

I saw him 2022 in Hamburg and damn he rocking the shit out of the small concert hall with only 300 people in like it was 100 times bigger.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gary is my gorgeous gothic rock god !!!!!

[@guitarsandsuchetc]

That was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

[@philipogden]

Spot the progression though to now .This was the nu-start

[@rhysseddon7279]

Sacrifice, my first and all time favourite numan album, got me into music

[@LAMags]

Okay .. I have been a Gary Numan fan since since 1979.. and the amazing memories and electronic music just power over me 📀📀🎶 Gary sounds brilliant!! I luv you Gary!! With lots of luv from Toronto, 🇨🇦 Canada xxx Gary is and ALWAYS will be the BEST !!!!

[@timpers3568]

hi PatrickIngham21, you have just made my day; i watched this when it was originally broadcast and was totally blown away by gary numan's voice and charisma, the rocky guitar, the atmospheric synth sounds, the clever use of space in the track, the tight drumming, and yes, ok, i admit it, the girl in the catsuit with the big mouth gyrating her hips.

[@machinemusic9888]

One of the few times a Numan song sounds great with female backing vocals.

[@mikeydashank3897]

Agreed. Other rare examples would be the songs Berserker, Cold Warning, Your Fascination, and My Breathing where they don't sound out of place or overpowering and actually compliment well

[@machinemusic9888]

"Scar" & "The Iceman Comes" think they would go down great again Live.

[@eternalwatcher3628]

The whole song of "your fascination" isn't complimented by anything. Its catchy but embarassing

[@marpsr]

It was hit or miss, love Your Fascination, Call Out The Dogs, My Breathing, and Berserker, but don’t care for stuff like This Disease or Creatures. He did end burying himself behind other singers and musicians, so glad he stopped doing that.

[@Rapid_GT]

Gotta love TJ Davis

[@PatrickIngham21]

he was actually singing and the band playing live on this tv show

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love the way our gorgeous Gary is so gothic

[@timpers3568]

i recorded this at the time; i always had a vhs tape in the machine and the remote in my hand, ready to hit the red button every time good music came on programmes like rapido, the word, the chart show, even TOTP - sadly my father recorded over a couple of hours of one tape with a documentary about hitler - so i lost this and thought i'd never see it again. god i fucking love the internet.

[@machinemusic9888]

Numan fan right from the beginning and this song is one of my all time favourites WOW!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous Gary is absolutely mesmerising here

[@jasper2011100]

This video great!!!! great song! GN Awsome live!!! Why only 4,158 views!! Sacrifice is a Great album, like Exile & pure too! love Gary Numans Voice!!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love this

[@alisonkovacs9871]

And those beautiful eyes of his too !!!!!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

And now gorgeous Gary is with the lovely Gemma bless

[@mikeydashank3897]

Oh i love it

[@alisonkovacs9871]

The lovely Gemma Gary's wife is so lucky she has got Gary bless her

[@seansoblixe9711]

always ear candy...love gary numan

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love gorgeous Garys hair eyes teeth etc

[@marpsr]

Up until this it seemed like Gary always wrote in character or hid behind the robot man persona. Finally we get the real Gary baring his soul and it’s glorious.

[@stevepatchin9916]

I love this. I love the woman, too.

[@room8topfloor]

Cool thanks for posting. The guitarist is Kipper, also played for Sting BTW. Saw him live with Numan back in the early 90's. Gifted musician but tended to improvise too much for my liking. Excellent stuff from Numan.

[@kenbarr80]

hi pat i have got this clip too really good thanks for post it up cheers

[@josevillarruel1444]

The dark Elvis ❤❤❤

[@starbumblackhole]

Luuurve this..'

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Love love love

[@alisonkovacs9871]

God he is so gorgeous my gorgeous gothic beauty

[@CatoMinor]

The artistic rebirth of GN under the beginning sign of dark and industrial, but still with residual rock poses and ancestries from the previous, horrible Machines and Soul.

[@SynthMan65]

Love Gary Numan, been a fan since 1979. Let me be the first to say that this icon of a man has more than earned the right to cockup his own lyrics if he chooses too. LOL!!! :) I'm actually covering this song right now in a music video and I'm trying to stay true to this particular version because it really jukes... That is, if I can figure out the lyrics he's singing in a couple of places. :)

[@dirtypearl]

i call this human emotion, i call this human corrosion

[@arranwalk]

I'm hearing obvious influences from Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion, particularly "Walking in My Shoes", and Gary admits to his music career being turned around after hearing DM's SoFaD (1993) and NIN's Downward Spiral (1994).

[@arranwalk]

Seriously half expecting him to go into "Now I'm not looking for absolution..." and "I'm not looking for a clearer conscience..."

[@arranwalk]

I do like this song, but I can't ignore the heavy influences I see and hear. Don't particularly care for the sneering that reminds me of Billy Idol; it's a bit over the top. But it's also funny, since back in the late 70's, critics were calling him a Billy Idol lookalike 😆

[@SonOne68]

I could not stop looking at the nice lady's hips. See was easy on he eyes!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Omg you are so gorgeous Gary scorching in fact

[@eternalwatcher3628]

hahaha, youve been watching this weekly havent you?

[@PaulMichaelR]

he is electric live, one of those performers who sounds better live plus he can pick the ladies oh yeah !

[@JarrodCook93]

Pretty good performance

[@kevcatnip7589]

That seemed to be the last tour before everyrhing changed

[@alexparish937]

A pity we can't get a copy of this without the interlacing

[@PatrickIngham21]

You can get the cd of it on amazon i think. I have the extended version of sacrifice aswell

[@68waddy]

Wow a young richard beasley

[@ellieash]

Ade Orange still with the massive hair!!!!

[@huntedhalo]

Mdg, he looks hot on here!!!!!!!!!!

[@JarrodCook93]

If you check itunes again I think it's been updated and they have it now. If not I'll email it to you in about a week.

[@stuart38]

what is the name of the backing singer?

[@coolaboola1046]

Im 99.9% certain her name is TJ Davies

[@PatrickIngham21]

@TheLemonKid01 Kipper gone? thats him on Guitar in this video!

[@rickyred001]

Rock chicks on Numan songs, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[@thetiktokman]

what's with the hair? looks like he just got zapped with 50,000 volts!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I dont gorgeous Gary does head bang he is just going with the music

[@scorbieholic]

what does he say at 1:41?

[@fewzebrank]

Live improvisation

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Omg gary looks so gorgeously hot !!!!

[@user-vm3ve8qt5w]

Most certainly 😂❤ kim

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I surprised gary didnt ask tj davis out

[@eternalwatcher3628]

probably did. Then Gemma had her taken out.

[@TheLemonKid01]

@PatrickIngham21 Sorry, I meant to say that thank God Kipper is NOW gone. His "show-offy" guitar-playing style just didn't fit in with Numan. Not to mention those awful spandex shorts. He has also had quite the hand in the making of Machine and Soul, Gary's worse album. On another note, I'm disappointed to read that Gary will be doing a "best of" tour this year. How do you want the fans to move forward if you keep going backwards? And I thought Gary said that he hated nostalgia...

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Babe

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Gorgeous gary knows how to seduce the camera

[@stuart38]

he STILL headbangs today,1994-2013.he's GOT to change his stage style.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Stuart Edward's it's TRUE Gary does still head banging I wish he didnt for his sake and mine

[@stuart38]

that bird in the catsuit made the performance look corny,it really did.
