Gary Numan - RIP

[destekki]

Ah yes much better than the GN vid I just came from. It's more of a stocking filler than a masterpiece but I do sympathize with this 'grudge' type genre of ..... (industrial?) music which GN now seems to embrace so much .... it's so now.

[SecondLifer2000]

Such a brilliant track....better live I must admit! :D

[kokaiini]

you really think he's not using the guitar? you deaf? electric guitar can do various sounds, it's not always Judas Priest solos.. then again the synthetizers do the most job in industrial music :P that's why I love it!

[TheProphetEliza]

@inrsprt Oh for Christ's sake, stop being so self righteous. XD

[666kimberlyj]

Love this

[ShoelaceNoose]

I think it's fantastic that Mr Numan didn't just inspire a generation, but he actually took inspiration from the same people he fed. This is how music should work

[hellchild65]

not just that but its pretty much his 70's and early 80's sound with a dark feel to it really, hes doing what most modern artists are afraid to do with their genres they are in, moving forward. Numan has always tried moving forward, even when the music was crappy he chose to push on, but having a few bad apples in your catalog is the sign of a good artist imo, shows they are willing to branch out, sure you might lose and gain a few fans but hey you make music for you not other ppl

[korn31345]

because its a music video you dumbass. and dont talk shit on reznor, hes the god.

[mothman197979]

Oh yea U2 did that, having an insterment and not using it.

[mothman197979]

Why does he have a G-tar, it is for looks. Hwn most ppl think of a front man of Rock ( industrial) they think of a singer the can play a guitar, wear black , and maybe a lil eye make up. Kinda like Trent Reznor :P

[phil1002010]

Brilliant



[gabriel00247]

why does he have a guitar he doesnt even use?

[gabriel00247]

god hes AMAZING loving him since 1960

[gabriel00247]

ReservedRealist you hit it right there



[MissBlueRose2]

Killer track - Numan paved the way for so many styles of music, (from electro styles to industrial metal) his early works were decades ahead of his time - his experimental sounds are always pioneering & unique. The Godfather of Synth.

[TheRewcifer]

he's sooooooooooo hot!

[Thedevllink]

@inrsprt blah blah. Who cares.

[ThePigeonWearsPrada]

i just got into industrial rock, this, is fucking amazing! much better than that main-stream crap that everybody else is listning to!

[LicoriceLain]

I have always wondered if it supposed to be rip or R.I.P.

[Niblipix]

Love how Gary assaults the senses then completely shifts gears.

[ChristopherDone]

Seriously I play this full blast, I listen to a lot of metal and industrial and this is the track that makes me mosh like I don't give a fuck.

He's also a really nice and funny guy, his "interview" (/ chat among mates) with Noel Fielding was really funny.

[ChristopherDone]

Numan fucking rocks after 30 years.

[DominionDayME]

@ChristopherDone Well said Numanoid!

[TheUndeadrooster]

Gary Numan is awesome! You'd be surprised at how many Goth and Industrial musicians and bands this guy has inspired. NIN, Ministry, Marilyn Manson just to name a few.

[funkyleaf]

what albumn is this on?

[JRHartly1984]

@funkyleaf Pure

[donut422]

god bless you numind

[ShroomGirl1]

I love this sooo much.

hehe.

Gary newman rules!!!

[garynuman67]

genius!!!!

[dyanankrett]

Excellent, good to see Gary evolving and definitely up to date! Love it!

Dr Dyan Ankrett (PhD)

[Bjarku]

@dyanankrett thanks for letting everyone on youtube know that you have a PhD, we're all very impressed.

[minimark86]

@Bjarku thanks mr sarcastic, your comment was really useful

[dgrantie]

Makes trent look a little mickey mouse when the godfather of electro-industrial comes to the fore dunnit? hell yeah

[lunanoir69]

So true, so true!!! Lol!

[koleszka35]

I like the music, but Gary's voice annoys me. He sounds like a woman:-(

[koleszka35]

I like the music, but Gary's voice annoys me.

[4441Rob]

This is the music everyone should be listening to (Pure) Numan is here to stay

[truesivad]

Awesome!

[symbiant42]

the DADDY

[XXXGRiDXXX]

its probably this song that got me into industrial and all its lovely subgenres.

[uclajd]

LOL, 2008 Gary Numan sounds like NIN and 1990 NIN sounds like 1978 Gary Numan.

[campoobutt]

@uclajd This video came out in 2000, not 2008.

[JarrodCook93]

@campoobutt Actually it was made in 2002.

'Strictly speaking' Rip was not a single off the Pure album. Gary had a compilation in 2002 which the single is actually taken off.

[campoobutt]

@JarrodCook93 You mean Hybrid?

[JarrodCook93]

@campoobutt No not Hybrid, I think it was called

Exposure 1977 - 2002 or something like that

[slashxes]

@uclajd but Gary Numan is best

[Yummygirl2]

I swear I think Im love with Gary Numan

[allmostmedieval]

brilliant track!

[cowlbeck01]

much better quality than the other one on you tube! thanks 4 posting it :-)

[dwarfitup]

TUNE WHAT A GOD

[BigNezzy]

Immense tune, but would be nice if he actually bothered to play that guitar instead of throwing it about him and mindlessly strumming at well...nothing.

5/5

[Slayedjudas666]

Most of his songs where dark

But is older ones sound more like the classical New wave Synth pop nothing more than that

Check out "Down in the park"

[meshu18]

YES!!!!!! I found my blissful nightmare...

[jeandepaul]

where, is my burrito? Does Newman 'Gary' have it?

[darktim99]

night time music!

[MsLipsticklover]

i like this particular song, but he used to be soooo much better..when i remember like stuff from TA then it's pretty sad. Everything he did in the 80s was just genious.

[ArsExMalum]

Take note- this is what industrial's all about

[dgrantie]

I have searched nearly 8 years for this. finally!!! :-D

[122AnimeFan122]

Numan is soo AWSOME!!! *.* AHH....i luv his music very good! :D

[jessi1971]

hmmm wow

[ReservedRealist]

Gary crossed over to the Dark Side LOL

[juguallacierate]

lol he went from singing about cars to singing about dark things...

[afireintheforest1]

When he was born? yes

[TheProphetEliza]

@ReservedRealist The Dark Side always wins!! mwahahahahaaa!

[Rilyn666]

is there any other numan songs which are quite dark like this one?

[pachnidlo86]

In a dark place ...for example ;)

[DanteBateman]

Pure (song), Hybrid, Jagged (song), fallen.

[semitar6]

Alot of them..take a look here on youtube.

[shadowprince101]

oh, believe me, there's plenty.... check his albums " exile " , "pure " , and " jagged " for dark songs like this :)

[sportandmovies]

i think thats the best quality numan video on here thanks for putting this up

[lisaemberton]

Nice!

Coxynuma.66.

[digression]

Love this..thanx, good quality
