He Doesn't. He says so on a video for a musical instrument magazine. He said that he cant sing and do backing at the same time. The rest of the time he sings live.
@LordArsehat- "How do u KNOW tht and I quote". Numan doesn't sing any of the big choruses live.?" Have u attended even ONE of Gary's shows?Or asked him if he does or not? "
I'm tired of lonely goth girlsbegging for dates under music videos that have nothing to do with it. I mean, yes, it gets lonely, but I found my goth guy NOT on youtube ok? Comment on the music please.
gary numan has got a micophone made for is wisper / screem songs. he never mimes in his live shows. he has mimed on tv shows but he knows he cannot sinc. so it would be clear in this vid if he did. LordArshat seems to follow numan sites to slag him off. i think hes got a mental problem. there is a pattern with plonkers like this. im glad hes not a mate of mine(i dont think hes got any) did your girl friend run away with a numaniod ? lol lol lol very sad "boy"
I saw Numan live at Shepherds Bush a couple of months back and no way did he mime at any point and I was so close I could have wiped his sweat off his brow. I've seen Numan dozens of time overthe years, including on his first ever tour way back in 1979 and I've never seen hime mine yet (even through the 'dodgy years')
Every musician mimes, it's not just Gary! Don't forget doing a gig is very exhausting and then the travel as well. So i have big respect for Gary or whomever mimes!
gary doesn't mime. thats bullshit. total bullshit. i know bands that tour non stop that don't mime. ashley simpson mimes. maybe on a giant record label, but gary is doing more of his own thing now.
Numan miming. i've noticed this more and more, its embarrassing. why any Numanoid would consider this ok is a little sad. Its suppose to be a life gig, i don't really get this, hes never needed to mime.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's been miming for years, but you see if the 3000 die hards are prepared to accept a shitty non-live performance then he'll carry on doing it. Numans shows used to be something of an event, they are pitiful bollocks now with Numan fans even in the band. Utterly pathetic.
@LordArsehat You are so fucking pathetic, trolling his videos making snotty little comments. Youve obviously a bitter little man with nothing better to do. Its really boring now.
I don't think he mimes all his gigs, i saw him in Bristol last year and i'm pretty certain it wasnt mimed. Shame if he does that a lot, his gigs use to be fantastic.
It's a pity the song being performed is a remix by Andy Grey, apart from the percussion the entire song is being mimed to. Numan doesn't sing any of the big choruses live. A total and utter shambles.
Yeah so what eh? its only supposed to be a live performance. It's knob heads like you that let Numan get away with substandard shite - that includes studio albums as well as live performances. PMSL.
I agree, the parts where he is odviously singing miles away from the microphone are totally not on. if he needs the backing so bad why not get the rest of the band to do backing vocals? that would make for a more interesting live performance!!!!
I love you Gary! You're ways are so awesome!!

You should check out the remix version on the Hybrid album as well. Both the versions are great but I think the Hybrid one is more ominous :)
