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 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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.......
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.
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.
Yeah. Lost interest in Gary after he started making those "jazzy" albums. Then I heard Cars with NIN. And everything changed. Saw Gary in Boston for the Savage 2 tour and I'm hooked again.
Ahh, I miss this aesthetic for sure...say why dont I see anyone wearing New Rock platforms anymore anyways? Are shiny pleather trench coats out too? Fuck where've I been that things'av changed so...OH DEAR GOD PASTEL GOTH?!?!? What is this madness?!
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! 😁

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.
This goes to show ... a WHISPER can be pretty damn HEAVY and as powerful as a scream!
Listening to this for the first time in 2024 and absolutely love it. Beautifully vampire-like! Its turned me into a Numan fan!
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!
👍😘👍.
Brilliant song. Brilliant artist and musician. Probably one of the best artists I've heard in my nearly 65 years on Earth.
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!!

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 🤣
Saw your documentary...you are one hell of father and husband.
So glad I rediscovered Gary Numan. His music is incredible as well as his texts..
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
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.

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, 👻.

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.

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.
I love this. Omg I'm so glad I found this. I love this music so much.
I love this track and pure is brilliant ❤️
I love how the guitars blend with the synths to form a multidimensional sound
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
Oh!!😍🤗❤ i love it!! Great Gary Numan!!
Never been much of a genre purist, I just love the way it sounds
👻, yep.
Bloody brilliant track. One of his best.
I love it ! That song just rattled me inside. I can’t wait to get this album. Thanks Gary .
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME GARY!! PURE GENIUS!!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliantly Bleak & Terrifying tune. Love it.

Been a huge fan since 1979 and posters every were on my walls in frames x
Came straight here from radio 2. It was on the music police.
Gorgeous gary thank you so much for being you babe love you so much
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.
this is fucking unbelievable \m/
HOT! Came out of his shell a bit since Cars...
Thank you Gary!!!!! You're the beast, I mean best...ha. BEST!
Badass song, beyond astonishing !
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

The only way I enjoy this song: on max Vol.!
awesome.....love it
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
He's fucking killing it right now.
He's been doing a new song at recent shows and it's pretty cool. I'm excited for a new GN album.
Wow wow another brill song
What a banger 🤘🤘
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Gary.
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.
temazo! Grande Gary, gracias por tanto
I did not realize that this was the same guy! Holy shit. He took the bridge of age and progression and made it his bitch!
I'm gently head banging to this song
It’s beautiful.
Very queen of the dammed vibe..🖤
Genius forever
Unreal good.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
Tamoooo❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gary was trents inspiration he said so
Gary at his best
Keep adding the vids Mr Webb!
Awesome!!!!
Gary Numan morphing into Marilyn Manson fills me with joy
I Hate MM...for some reasons. Never ever compare Gary with MM again. Knucklehead
I like both. There are some minor similarities, but Gary is quite different though, in every way. I listen a lot more to Gary than Marilyn.
@@AnamCara1967 I mean, I did make this comparison last year before the dodgy shit became public so...
@@enny1260 I find Gary more Authentic than MM.
@@AnamCara1967 Have you not heard Marilyn Manson's cover for "Down in the Park"? 🙄
❤
Gary please come to my city Windsor Ontario Canada .And dont play at the casino
For a song thats 20+ years old ..this still rocks....
Yeah. Lost interest in Gary after he started making those "jazzy" albums. Then I heard Cars with NIN. And everything changed. Saw Gary in Boston for the Savage 2 tour and I'm hooked again.
Gorgeous Gary babe dont headband too much babe I care about you so much stay safe xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ahh, I miss this aesthetic for sure...say why dont I see anyone wearing New Rock platforms anymore anyways? Are shiny pleather trench coats out too? Fuck where've I been that things'av changed so...OH DEAR GOD PASTEL GOTH?!?!? What is this madness?!
Fantastic song and video 👽💙👌🏻

How to make Trent jealous of GN's genius
Trent and Numan are best buds. They influence each other clearly tremendously and have collaborated lots and just keep in touch as major friendos.
Here see this example ruclips.net/video/ehMqEXUspfs/видео.html
Muy bueno
