Still prefer the Robert Palmer cover, but love this. Robert's voice is just a little better than Gary's. Saying that though I will always thank Gary for his work and his inspiration that made Fear Factory. Thanks Gary.
Thinking yes Thinking oh my god ME im just buzzing the man we know as NEWMAN-NUMAN still around CUMMING up to 33 years of music melodies WHAT A GOD OF MUSIC thanks GARY x KARL x
You silly asses. Listen to "I'm an Agent" Numan is not gay and refused prostitutes and drugs that were offered by promoters. "Get her out Get her out"
Jesus Christ when will humans give things a rest???????? I remain a BLAZING heterosexual white male, agnostic only for title since humans demand such, and I loved this guy 3 decades ago simply for the art and music. Think I give 2 shits if he is or EVER was gay? DAMN, get a grip we have more pressing issues at the moment do we not?
I asked Gary that question way back in 1980,he said that the shop that he had it done in staines essex just had a chair and that was the ear that was on show!,hahaha.
Fuck anyone who judges sexuality, logical people don't care, because there aren't gay notes in music, there aren't heterosexual notes either. Go count your own earrings, and yes he was being Provocative, what else would you call it FASHION?
@MrCamelneck I'm gonna find you and gut you like a FUCKIN FISH YOU MOTHERFUCKER, GO SUCK A CAWK YOURSELF I DIDN'T BRING GENITALS INTO THIS YOU DID, I'M PROUD TO BE LOUD, AND I'M A COWBOY FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, dude, you need to learn to relax. When you make comments like you did the other day (F^ck anyone who judges sexuality) you are just asking for it! Everybody has the right to express their opinion.. Even you!
why would it matter if he was gay or not, and why would it matter what ear he put his earring in. surely the more important detail is if his music is any good or not. Freddy mercury was about as gay they get, yet his music was awesome and received universal admiration.
voyeurism?..............."we open doors by thingking..........we went to sleep by dialing 0....................we drive to work by proxy........I plug my wife in just for show.............. new ways, new ways! This guy was and is phofetic!
btw whats all the concern about the earring? again , now a days thats rather silly as so many gay strait and inbetweens have muti peircings in both ears ,face,bellys, tounges etc..........? un real how some people only see and hear what they want to !....
@ arrowz12 -At the time that he had earring installed it was associated with being rake-ish, rebellious, more along the line of the pirates of Europe that roamed the seas. It had not yet evolved into the gay symbol.
@ the rest of the conversations re gay and such, my oh my do _we_ have issues here???
And so what if he is gay or bi? his choice and I still ike him and think he was one of the coolest rock stars if not the coolest ever so fuck any stupid pleb wanker and their insults ain't going to change what and who I like usually closet assholes coming out with that shit anyway
What happened to synth-pop, it used to suck, then Gary Numan made some good songs, then it sucked again, then Little Boots came along and made some good songs too. Why is it that only 2 people make good synth-pop songs?
Whats the point of trying to make a point to people who don't concern themselves with you at all it's the music that brings us together not our ideals.
taking a moment in time*(when the song came out) and 31 years later hearing it again, the memories come flooding back. you can remember were and what you were doing. people you were with, things you were doing. For everyone, you have a special reason for LOVEING his muisc. IF your hearing him for the first time, feel bleased we live in a country that allows you to be free! GOD BLESS AMERICA! and THANK you Gary numan
Gary Numan always wore an earring on his RIGHT ear. When I was a kid in the 80s, this was taken to mean you were gay. Was he playing for the other team back then, or was he just being provocative?
Well, he was somewhat androgynous; he liked to wear makeup. The look worked for him. I personally wouldn't care if he were gay, straight, or inbetween. I just always thought his songs sometimes revealed he was confused about his sexuality.
I'll tell you to truth arrowz12 . to me he is a legend, one of the best from the 80's thur 90's and i won't place know judgement on him.. his music is great to me
@GaryNumanAlbums srsly! WTF does an artist's sexuality have to do with anything? Unless that is the basis of their act, but really, who cares anyway? If you like the music great! That's what matters. I still get a chuckle out of people that are disturbed by an artists appearance. I'll bet arrowz12 is afraid of Bowie...that is if they've ever HEARD of Bowie.
@HyruleLand I were an ear ring in my right ear and im married with two kids one is twenty one the other is eleven. I got married twenty two years ago and am so hettrosexual you would not belive. This wereing an earring in your right ear to state that your gay is the biggist load of horseshite that was ever put around it was a statement just to say you were a bit different . Knobs getting there left ear peirced mostley run of the mill little boys who thought it was the fasion.
@GaryNumanAlbums mmmmmm But I love Gary Numan to death and after seeing interviews on YT or reading about how people said Gary was gay 30 years ago and they accused him of having fetishes and actually having sex with inanimate objects, I myself wonder why he didn't do himself a favor and put that earring in the LEFT ear?
I don't care, I'm not homophobic, but when they try to blow up your Mom's car and you're not gay anyway....it's time to switch ears! PLEASE.
@arrowz12 Again this rumour was a load of horeseshite i was a young man in the 80s and had my right ear peirced and still do . I was 17, you just had your right ear peirced to be a bit different then all the little boy knobheads who were having there left ear peirced . And let me tell you something i ant gay.
@arrowz12 He's married with kids......I would assume he's not gay. Then again that has nothing to do with his music talents. I could care less what the man does behind closed doors, and outside of writing and singing good music. No harm done to anyone.
@arrowz12 in the shop where he had it done they made him sit by the window.... this exsposed the right ear for piercing....a twist of fate that has made many consider this...... he likes and has allways liked just women.....that said who should give a fuck anywho
Some fool once asked a guy with an earring in the 80's, what does it mean, does it mean you are gay?
The guy replied back.... no it means you are gay only if you wear it in your right ear. The guy with the earring was winding him up so to speak and all the morons went on believing the tale. *sighs* people are so stupid.
@arrowz12 Gary Numan always wore a Gary Numan on his GARY Numan. When I was a kid in the 90s, this was taken to mean you were badass. Was he badass, or was he just being badass?
@Patrissimo47 Gary Numan always Gary Numan a Gary Numan on his Gary Numan. When I was a Gary Numan in the Gary Numans, this was taken to Gary Numan were badass. Was he Gary Numan, or was Gary Numan just being Gary Numan?
@arrowz12 In his biog he says that, when he had his ear pierced, the chair was in the corner of the room and the right ear was the one that was exposed. Despite understanding the supposed significance of the "right ear", I had my right ear pierced too as soon as I could. Partly as a tribute to Numan but also as a "fuck you" to people who judge others on their sexual orientation.
@MrRik2 ...right on brother,or is it sister? we will never know...unless you ask him.......who cares anyway,I just love his crazy music! I DREAM OF WIRES
@666prep What puzzles you? For God's sake why do humans over-analyze EVERYTHING? Numan's role? You are shitting me? The man dropped the equivalent of a nuclear weapon regarding music, friends of mine thought I was nuts just for listening. But then again, OH never-mind. Humans wouldn't understand anyway.
@arrowz12 He's not gay. In fact, he's is happily married to a woman. Also, I don't think he did it to support gays either because it wasn't his style to be political. My guess is he just did it to be different, with no agenda in intended. But there are some new wave greats who are gay like Neil Tennant and Marc Almond.
@HighRiseChateau Neil Tennant a "new wave great"? He was still a journalist when new wave happened and Pet Shop Boys were just mid '80s camp pop-light. Tennant doesn't stack up at all compared to the influencial artists of electronic music like Numan, Hutter/Schneider, early Clarke, Oakey and others.
Gary is a pilot, i got my license in 1990. i had dreams of trying to avoid high tension lines- way higher than in reality. many other pilots had the same dreams at one time or another.
