Gary Numan

Post by Xamonas Chegwé » Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:05 am

Much maligned but worthy of a second look, I say! Starting with his classic period.

"I was in a car-crash, or was it the war?" Fucking classic lyric from a terrific song...


I like this one a lot too...


But bringing it all up to date(ish) his proclamation of his personal atheism is quite touching too...



...especially coupled with industrial beats!


... and he's an Aspie.

So there's my guilty musical secret out of the bag. I likez Gaz Numan. :biggrin:

I saw him open for NIN and got backstage passes...I was too drunk to really go up and talk to him though. He was tiny. He was AMAZING live...here's a newer song of his that I really dig....I LOVE his music.

Yeah - Trent Reznor really loves his stuff and invited him to open for him - so I heard.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

He sounds like someone I should've heard of, if NIN likes him :ask:

But he looks like a twat so it's putting me off pressing 'play'.

Sometimes it's difficult to separate the parody from the pretence.
