I was working in the kitchen of a nightclub called Pantiles in Bagshot, Surrey when Gary walked in. At the height of his career, with bleached blonde hair, and looking cool as fuck, he looked at me and said, and I quote, "D'ya wanna cup of tea ?". I just looked at him for a couple of seconds as i realised the situation and said, "Yeah cheers mate". He had come to pick up his girlfriend at the time who was a go-go dancer at the club. He made me and my friend a cup of tea and we had a quick chat about nothing, and then his girlfriend entered to which he said his goodbyes and they left. Absolutely lovely bloke, very down to earth and humble. I've never forgotten how "normal" the whole situation was, as if he was a mate when in reality at that time he was the man. Even though the so called music critics of the time were slating him and his music, the real listeners and honest critics of his art, us, knew it was way ahead of its time and that this man was a genius. And even to this day, his music from the late seventies early eighties is still ahead of this time. His music is genuine, honest and from the heart. It is music from a tortured soul searching for the truth and love of God !

A God to New wave New Romantics.

I've always found Gary's music hypnotic. Ever since being a kid in the 80's. I have ADD my daughter has autism and ADD. I played her his early stuff, and his current albums. She loves it, she's 7. Theirs a connection in his sound for us, his biog has helped us understand a outlook on life as ND he is a music god and a pioneer

I was one of those that followed Gary through the late 80s. I'm glad he got back on track

Where can I get a high resolution version of this

"You could just about dance to it"...indeed, that was the appeal of his music back in the day. I just can't get into this NIN obsession he's had for more than 30 years. It's boring and harsh. I listen to his first four albums regularly, but everything after I can't help but ignore. I wish he'd get back to the sounds he made '78-'81...I think that's what we've all been waiting for. Maybe it's too late now?

He should bring back the Davros chair.

W liverpool

I will love this gourgeous man for the rest of my entire life

Fantastic documentary

Such a lovely beautiful couple gorgeous gary and his lovely wife gemma

Love gorgeous gary so much i feel so proud of him as well

I last saw you Gary in London 42 years ago, a superb concert at Wembley, i was knocked out at how good you were so many years later at this Liverpool concert, you're an English icon, love you Gary!

This guy can create music and good music. Maybe his voice isnt 100% but i do love his songs

I LOVE this Interview. I learned a lot more about one of my favorite music artists...Gary Numan. THANK YOU!

Could anyone help an old man out? What equipment is Gary using at the very beginning of this documentary when he is talking excitedly about sounds?

Great man so talented we love you Gary numan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Was at Wembley, when he walked out on stage I was crying. Been a Numanoid since 1979 and always will be, through the good times and the bad times, and now the resurrection. An incredible songwriter, musician and technological genius, someone who pushes to the limit and beyond with synth sounds and indeed sonic sounds, Omnisphere is a brilliant piece of software that he uses and some of the sounds he coaxes from that make me think "how did he do that??" Cannot wait to see what he comes up with next...........

Lose the mascara & weird thing on top of head . . aging with dignity is't said lightly

Grohl said that only the v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ d were welcome at Nirvana performances . . that's aged nicely

Depeche Mode did the same for Metal Sounds…

Cars was a great song but a favorite of mine was Change Your Mind!! Anyone relate???

My local band still going 46 years on

As someone who lived through many many Michael Jackson eras i have to say this looks shocking. The singing is awful and the dancing like your dad still thinking he's got moves

This is awesome 😍

He's such a great talent. Glad he's still here making great music. Much respect Gary

Prodigy one of them one off great live acts Kieth was always amazing in stage we all miss him❤

1:20:00 what a great Wife. Always in his corner

In 1979 two transformative bits of music, for me, was the Gary Numan song Cars and the Styx album Grand Illusion. I was also greatly moved by (then) Walter Carlos' Switched on Bach. A few short years later Duran Duran sealed my fate as a Bass player. My passion for this kind of music still resonates all the way back to 1979. At nearly 60 now, the music still takes me back to a moment in time. The best music always accomplished this. Savage ( Songs from a Broken World ) is the best bit of music I'd heard in nearly a decade. It seemed the back ground music to Covid. Chilling to think about.

great documentary.what a lovely family man.thank you

Replicas had the cassette in 1980 my dad saw Gary on Saturday night live and bought it….the song was I down in the park am praying to the aliens. That was the one that we loved. But it was the entire album that was good… are friends electric….down in the park. Later when I got a synthesizer many of the patches are named after Gary or are called numan. He is a legend. Jarre, Gary , Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk.

Just horrible He needs focus on dancing not so much singing Michael was not that big

Numan fan and Aspie, with ASD partner and daughter. Loved this doco. Thanks!

Pretty emotional stuff. Gary's wife is worth her weight in diamonds.

Legend that is…Gary Newman! Wish I could go back in time… He was way ahead of his time… He’s actually very relatable!! Such an emotional story… Gary is such a humble person, which is so endearing.

loved ❤ tubeway army etc since seventies.

totally enjoyed that, thank you

This was an amazing documentary. Not really a fan, but have always respected what he does. But after watching this, I respect the man as well as the artist. And his wife, wow... behind every great man is a greater woman!

He looks so young ... what is his secret ... gosh ... my hair has gone but Gary looks like a 20 year old ... good genes.

What a shitty, cruel letter from the headmaster.

Articulate and modest very grounded best records of all time i remember when i was 11..12 ..got my first record. Absolutely a legend...his music has a mystery to it ..i went to see him.play at the ritz manchester last week and i was absolutely in a different planet since then ...outstanding artist ..i have great admiration for him.hes soo magical and i cant thank Mr Numan enough ❤❤

My guy is you I love you, Navi

I discovered Gary Numan in 1980 as a 10 year old. My neighbor friend introduced me and my other friends to "Cars". Every time I hear it it takes me back in time to the younger days. My oldest child has Aspergers, I think its called something different now. Anyhow it takes a lot of patience to understand him. He only has a few friends and it breaks my heart when he tells me he feels alone. On the flip side he does have a laser focus on things that interest him just like what Gary Numan talks about. My wife and I are doing exactly what Gary's parents have done, just letting him be himself. Thanks for the great music Gary.

I appreciate that Garys not a big fan of his back catalogue. However, we are - Your music was so groundbreaking - Please don't underestimate or undervalue your your back catalogue - pure GENIUS - 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨️🙏❤️

Wow, he's definitely come a long way since the old keyboards!! That console looks like a Big Screen TV.

One of my favorite things about getting older is seeing Gary Numan and his family grow. What a gift! Absolutely amazing!

Great stuff!

I knew Gary's music back in the day. Loved the music and him. Then I never heard anything again. I have been listening to live concerts and saw Gary Numan. I took a listen and I didn't think this is how Gary truly is compared to the cars video. Listening to all songs, he is truly a genius. Thank you, I am a fan reunited. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame... wake up!
