As a US citizen, I always thought that Gary Numan was a one hit wonder as I only heard his big hit Cars on the radio. Was surprised a few years back when I discovered that he was big in the UK. Then recently one of his videos popped up on my RUclips feed. The thumbnail looked interesting so I gave it a play. I was blown away with the sound. I never realized the depth of Gary's music. I went to Numan's official RUclips channel and watched all of his music videos. None of them disappointed. Shame it took me 40 years to "discover" his sound.
He had more #1 hits than Cars even back in the day. But yes, he's released well over 20 studio albums and keeps moving forward with his sound. Never turned into a "retro" act. From the mid-90s on you could characterize his sound as heavy industrial/electronica but even then, it has kept evolving. Gary himself has said the great thing about electronic music is that there is always new stuff being released, so always new sounds to discover. He's definitely one to get a new tool, get the best sounds out of it for an album or two, then move on to something else.
I have been a numanoid for over 30 years. I have had the pleasure of seeing him live about 20 times.He is a fabulous musician who just gets better and better.
I must admit it was this song that brought me back into the fold as a numanoid. After the late 80's and early 90's I'd kinda drifted away but when I heard this on karrang I nealry died it was so fuckin awesome. I went out and got the album along with exile and have never looked back. THANK YOU GARY
we were all waiting for a glimmer of the old.Lost faith late 80's. By accident caught a review of Pure on the internet somewhere. Was so glad there was something new and meaningful to grab hold of. Since then, an upward spiral.
Maybe besides Are Friends Electric, I much prefer everything Gary wrote from around 1994 forward. His music transformed into such powerful and moody songs, dark, brooding, poetic and hauntingly beautiful!! Can't get enough!!
I have been a huge Industrial Metal fan for years and I really think Gary meeting Trent Reznor resurrected Gary's passion for heavy music and I know Trent was very influenced by early Gary numan material. I must say I have been so impressed with his later music and saw him live in spring 2022...it was phenomenal. When he played Pure I went nuts.....
This was the song on Kerrang! That made me realise Gary Numan has reinvented himself to be awesome! I used to listen to this on repeat as a kid, over and over when i recorded the video on Sky Digital lol
When I first heard Gary human in the 1970s it was as if he was from the future with his hypnotic music and even forty years later it's as if thes in the driving seat of the future.
Ignoring the incorrect description for a sec, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this one, because this was the song my best friend re-introduced me to Gary with. I hadn't heard any of his post-70s stuff and was instantly hooked on the darker style.
Gary has reinvented himself big time. His move to the u.s.a. has inspired him and made him very musically creative. He's producing his best music ever now.
I was just a baby when Gary Numan first made a name for himself. It wasn't until this album came out (me then in my early 20s) that he truly grabbed my by the heart and brain stem. Ive been a huge fan ever since.
I'll get down on my knees I'll do anything I can I'll even walk upon water Ill give somebody disease I'm so sick with need I'm so sick with pain I'll lay before the cross and pray I'll bleed like holy rain Ive gotten sick of the pain Oh dear I pray HEY HEY HEY I've done nothing to you HEY HEY HEY I've got something for you I'll rip the skin from God's face I'll say I'm searching for the truth I steal the light from heaven's gates If it can guide me to you I'll give life to obsession I'll give life to disease I'll give you one last sin or cure And then I'll do as I please HEY HEY HEY I've done nothing to you HEY HEY HEY I've got something for you
Yes! This is the moment that Gary found his old "spark" of genius. I remember seeing it at the number one position on an old rock tv music channel (who's name escapes me right now). But this was 'Pure' genius! So good to see Gary relevant again. This stuff marries perfectly as a transgression from his early classic stuff. And that Matrix coat. And those boots. Memories of walking down Oxford Street fulling decked out the same with my dyed black hair and guyliner. Happy daze. Gary your deserved appreciation from joe public started here.
sometimes it seems a bit like Numan and Reznor swapped styles somewhere along the line, with Reznor moving more towards minimalistic electro tunes and numan getting more aggro heavier and complex. Not complaining in either side, but I still think it would be fookin amazing if they both worked on a project together, especially if it was a more involved concept sort of creation. just like if they were able to put everything else aside (minus families of course) and throw every bit of anger and frustration and pain together as a cathartic maelstrom. ...yeah... that might be pretty cool, lol ^_^
I wish Gary Numan had a universal logo. Like Nine Inch Nails - NIN, or HiMs - Heartagram (which has completely transended it's meaning and taken on a life of its own in pop culture, but that's another story, which will be told at another time) so that I could get it tattooed on me somewhere. Coz Gary's entire music catalogue is like the language of my soul.
There is the Banner Repeater/Shunting disc symbol from Tubeway Army. There's also The Pleasure Principle Pyramid/Triangle. There's also the "Exile Spider" as I like to call it.
Newman transcends time His stuff continues to be cutting edge and his concerts have been second to none. I wish more people could be exposed to this guy, just brilliant.......
Gary has been gone fully industrial since 2000. Pure and Jagged are dark industrial album. Along the way, he reduces the darkness in his album. I feel his newest album goes to romantic industrial. I'm not complaining since I support musician who keeps challenging himself to make different album each time.
It's wonderful to see the genre go full circle. He inspired so many, it's amazing to see him pay homage to that legacy. Can there be any doubt this is a friendship letter to Trent Reznor?
I keep listening to it day after day. It's cathartic. It's like watching Dark City for the first time and knowing this should have been part of its soundtrack.
Numan in reise reise style. Hello, dear friend, always electric. You'll always be a piece of my heart, since uncle Jess' days. Bombers always fly high.
Heh, being a totally avid fan, I had never really heard of Pure. Several years ago I happened to stumble upon an import (I live in the U.S.) at a great record store in San Diego (Record City) I don't know (I need to check) if this was put out on vinyl other than this pressing, but this is from some odd company called 'Let Them Eat Vinyl) It's likely a digital pressing and I think it's very rare now, but I REALLY need to drag it out and listen to it! 😁

Listening to this for the first time in 2024 and absolutely love it. Beautifully vampire-like! Its turned me into a Numan fan!
I have been a numanoid for over 30 years. I have had the pleasure of seeing him live about 20 times.He is a fabulous musician who just gets better and better.
This goes to show ... a WHISPER can be pretty damn HEAVY and as powerful as a scream!
Poetic. ✨️
Brilliant Song. Brilliant musician. Brilliant atmosphere. Brilliant times. Brilliant memories. Brilliant Icon.
Yes! and Yes! and Yes! and Yes! and Yes! 😁

He's working on a new one right now, follow him on Facebook if you don't already
Same with me after Telekon I think he lost his way I've recently been listening to his stuff from 2000 onwards omg i can't believe i missed all this
me too. fell upon by accident . it was a track on the cd with an issue of uncut magazine
Oh I love that ! Numanoid.
Brilliant song. Brilliant artist and musician. Probably one of the best artists I've heard in my nearly 65 years on Earth.
I can't even!! This man is brilliant!! His music just elicits everything you can possibly feel, amazing!!
Well, I can’t odd! So there’s that.
The best performer ever. Totally astonishing 🖤⭐🖤
@@nixko2532 I second that!
👍😘👍.
I didn't even know gary numan did music like this until recently and its absolutely brilliant
I just found out last Sunday. He's a legend
If you think THIS is good (and it is!) you absolutely HAVE to check out his Splinter: Songs from a Broken Mind & Savage: Songs from a Broken World!
Maybe besides Are Friends Electric, I much prefer everything Gary wrote from around 1994 forward. His music transformed into such powerful and moody songs, dark, brooding, poetic and hauntingly beautiful!! Can't get enough!!
He's beautiful in alot of ways

I never want gorgeous Gary to die I love him so so much
If I die you die, lol, 👻.
Why are you so cool Gary?
This was the song on Kerrang! That made me realise Gary Numan has reinvented himself to be awesome!
I used to listen to this on repeat as a kid, over and over when i recorded the video on Sky Digital lol
Saw your documentary...you are one hell of father and husband.
After another dose of Gary Numan cheerfulness, I can go out and face the world with a smile.
Yeah there's nothing more uplifting than a dark, sombre bit of Garydustrial to make the world seem just that little bit brighter 🤣
So glad I rediscovered Gary Numan. His music is incredible as well as his texts..
When I first heard Gary human in the 1970s it was as if he was from the future with his hypnotic music and even forty years later it's as if thes in the driving seat of the future.
Brilliantly Bleak & Terrifying tune. Love it.
Came straight here from radio 2. It was on the music police.
Pure genius

How is the description incorrect?
@@cloudbloom I think they saw the upload date and thought that was the actual release date of the song.
@@sociocomm724 No, it used to have a description. Don't remember what it said though. It's been changed since 2 years ago.
Twas me that bought to light this was being broadcast on kerrang, thanks Tony for correspondence.
Gary has reinvented himself big time. His move to the u.s.a. has inspired him and made him very musically creative. He's producing his best music ever now.
He was always amazing in my opinion ❤️
That was after his wife introduced him
To Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails
He's still god
Erm na he’s British he didn’t need to move anywhere to be an amazing talent 😊
😂 Its likely due to his higher blood pressure & stress. This place is 🥜 with that stuff! 🥴🥸😵🤓 That's nuff to change a fellow. 🗣
I was just a baby when Gary Numan first made a name for himself. It wasn't until this album came out (me then in my early 20s) that he truly grabbed my by the heart and brain stem. Ive been a huge fan ever since.
Mr Gary numan you are the best music artist and singer in the world.
I love this. Omg I'm so glad I found this. I love this music so much.
GARY is CLASS
Oh!!😍🤗❤ i love it!! Great Gary Numan!!
this is the best of gary numan since cars
Absolute Tune 🤌🏽🔥🤌🏽
I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything I can
I'll even walk upon water
Ill give somebody disease
I'm so sick with need
I'm so sick with pain
I'll lay before the cross and pray
I'll bleed like holy rain
Ive gotten sick of the pain
Oh dear I pray
HEY HEY HEY
I've done nothing to you
HEY HEY HEY
I've got something for you
I'll rip the skin from God's face
I'll say I'm searching for the truth
I steal the light from heaven's gates
If it can guide me to you
I'll give life to obsession
I'll give life to disease
I'll give you one last sin or cure
And then I'll do as I please
HEY HEY HEY
I've done nothing to you
HEY HEY HEY
I've got something for you
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME GARY!! PURE GENIUS!!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oxford Street London or Sydney? Because if it's Sydney there is a definite connotation!
Kerrang?
Maybe P-rock or scuzz TV?
@@nodbomb rip scuzz!
I saw it first on Kerrang. It blew me away. On my favourites playlist.
Please dont ever die gorgeous gary i love you so much for always❤❤❤❤❤❤
Badass song, beyond astonishing !
Bloody brilliant track. One of his best.
Very queen of the dammed vibe..🖤
I love it ! That song just rattled me inside. I can’t wait to get this album. Thanks Gary .
Never been much of a genre purist, I just love the way it sounds
👻, yep.

Been a huge fan since 1979 and posters every were on my walls in frames x
Gorgeous gary thank you so much for being you babe love you so much
Absolutely adore you Gary!!!
I love how the guitars blend with the synths to form a multidimensional sound
Sounds like a lot of "industrial" music back then. Still good
Newman transcends time His stuff continues to be cutting edge and his concerts have been second to none. I wish more people could be exposed to this guy, just brilliant.......
Thank you Gary!!!!! You're the beast, I mean best...ha. BEST!
I loved what he did..This is...cute....
This man is the absolute bomb ❤❤❤ his voice blows me away hes a god ❤
this is fucking unbelievable \m/
Been a fan since 79 love savage album so much when he tours next year I hope he's more like he is on this video he looks fantastic your the best
Eternal pleasure!
crazy good...I baught the album with Cars on it in HS...he has come so far from that album and that's hard to believe
HOT! Came out of his shell a bit since Cars...

Wow wow another brill song
I saw the RIP and though "Oh no! Gary just died! This is a tribute to him!" Glad I was wrong.
It is the song title
It’s the title song which you’d know if you were a fan
@@jeremyjolly3645 Nope. Kraftwerk does it for me. The originals.
It's wonderful to see the genre go full circle. He inspired so many, it's amazing to see him pay homage to that legacy. Can there be any doubt this is a friendship letter to Trent Reznor?

What a banger 🤘🤘
Numan in reise reise style. Hello, dear friend, always electric. You'll always be a piece of my heart, since uncle Jess' days. Bombers always fly high.
Bombers fight at zero.... feet 😁
temazo! Grande Gary, gracias por tanto
Awesome!!!!
Gary please come to my city Windsor Ontario Canada .And dont play at the casino
Genius forever
Strange how this song came out, just months before the pandemic, weird, but, Gary is just brilliant
The gift is about covid
This song was released in 2001. Do your research
@@68waddy 😆
@@68waddy I've got no 68 on my jersey today how weird is that, lol.
Uploaded in 2019. Song is from the early 2000s
Keep adding the vids Mr Webb!
He's fucking killing it right now.
Perfect 💯✨
Mr Newman, you absolutely never fail to impress and amaze me. Bought your first album in college. Been in love ever since. You the man.
Gary at his best

Love it!!!
