Gary Numan & Little Boots - Are 'Friends' Electric?

[defossard]

I have just played this three times. Simply superb. Wonderful rework of a classic which I remember from my school days.

[cexotone]

well if ur legs are sawa and hert were bouts hehe

[cexotone]

i herd that about the booats

[maltavmalta]

This retake on A F Electric is electrifying!

[boingboomchak]

Ive a Numan fame since the first tubeway album and this is fantastic, really like the reworking of this tune. Outstanding.

[talihinia]

Wow!!!Wow!!!Wow!!! love both versions...ok..this one wins.

[ersway]

This is great. I wasn't really watching totp with much interest one night back in 1979 until he came on and did his first performance of this, that's when I became fixated on the TV. He came across as being a bit special!

[MrTamiya89]

why don't they do it like 1979 and the 1980's because this version is boring

[colinbtfc]

brilliant, love this, up to date, well don Gary and Little Boots

[iansmithphotos]

Stunning, absolutely stunning

[intheblim]

Love it gary n little boots ya sexy little thing x

[AndyBsUTube]

Awesome - I love the fact that Numan is never scared to remix, re-record and generally tinker with old material - and often brings it into a new genre and usually improves on it.

[markapp67]

Superb!

[wimmssens]

Brilliant.

[johnbarry1965]

I LOVE VICTORIA!!!!!!!!

[ChrisVanOz79]

i love them! <3

that was a very nice teamwork!

thx for that :)

[hkgreaves80]

I love Little Boots but she's not at her best live.

[marieljoed]

wow! i've been watching him do different versions of this song and he gives it a new alternate sound each time! to me, it shows an true musical artist giving a new variation off a standard classic making it a great new interpretation each time! Numan is a great Musical Atrist!

[edyotter]

Well if Gary liked it thats good enough for me

[djkenny]

this makes my nipples hard and stomach tingle. sign of synth pop perfection

[ZLUGGO]

Great version of a fabulous song. Nothing beats the original version from "Replicas" though.

[angelsbum]

this is brilliant, i loved it.

[Ishkur23]

This is crap. Why did Gary Numan do this with this vacuous bint?

[magombalow]

right on maybe she has incriminating video of gaz that would explain it, play with me or i show the world you crapping or knitting or ballet dancing or having a shot of one of them kids airplane rides you see in supermarkets whilst making neeoow sounds and putting unreasonable amounts of coin credits in whilst kids wait in hope for their turn its a crying shame.get off and let the kids have a go you hogger of airplane rides mr numan. could be u never know ha.

[ZLUGGO]

@Ishkur23

I think she's lovely and talented.

[Timmithemagicalbum]

I hope she apologised afterwards.

[MythicShot]

Out of your depth Miss Boots !

[DustyChalk]

[chaosisgreat]

her voice is a bit flat, i prefer numan :) and the piano solos

[ojib62]

she sucks, she can't hold her own, and is clearly looking for some quik easy goth cred, no dice girly you gotta earn it.

[MrJimSie]

Nice my friend, very nice

[hoddlewaddle]

[SShinX2off]

[bishthefish]

Brilliant, great collaboration ! It shows that you can be artists from different decades and still influence each other !

[rockcityaudio]

[alanlad1]

[liquidfylth]

Somebody please hold me...wow! Tears to my eyes...can music be perfect?

[IassassinIam2012]

She is really pretty

[djamby]

AH! It skips over the part when he says "Are 'Friends' Electric!" Hahaha.

This is amazing. Little Boots gave it a nice, new feeling.

[IassassinIam2012]

Brand new again! Nice work.

[karunamaster]

Stunning...



[jokingpants]

very enjoyable, but I can't help thinking it'd be a lot better without Little Boots!

[timestoad]

@jokingpants yep

[martynpank]

@jokingpants Maybe, but she is eye-candy!!!

[jasonofjersey]

just pure class!!!!!!!!!

[Cal7222]

tune!

[gothdude92]

Gary Numan is a god. Trent Reznor is a good. Industrial is my religion love it :P

[yummyikissedagirl]

where can i download it ??????

[spookymoo]

A 6music sessions album would be fantastic

[jennivega2001]

Amazing the great videos you come across on here. Love this.

[edyotter]

Gary happy with version

[No1Numanette]

good but needs to be live on stage xx

[ZoneNet1]

She doesn't have the presence in her voice to do this song justice tbh.

[TheRavevisuals]

brilliant music, brilliant production, please lets see a @coachella @happycoachella reunion #BBC6

[yidwann]

When are we going to have a 6 Music Sessions CD hitting the shelves rather than another unspectacular Live Lounge Album.... needs to be done!

[NUYETI]

WOW - after slaging AFE off for the past 10 years (its 31 years old BTW!) he looks like he's enjoying it!

Numan and retro - now thats a thing LOL

[misterpaxton]

he is ripping off trent reznor so bad here

[jasmuz]

Are friends electric? is WAY older than NIN or Trent Reznor in music. Check it out.

[kurthoop]

@misterpaxton How?? I'm a much bigger fan of Trent Reznor than Gary Numan, but I can still understand that Reznor wouldn't sound the way he does without Numan, or are you talking about the Rob Sheridan-esque filming technique?

[Balthes]

wow...brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hortaltera]

Amazing!

[snice1]

Can't beleive they're trying to close down 6 Music. It;is an oasis in a desert of insipid drivil.

[jasonofjersey]

@snice1 there not closing it down now. its been saved by a surge in listeners !!!!!!!!!

[matador855]

@jasonofjersey Eyecandy more like eye buffet

[mikemidge]

Save BBC 6 music

[MrSpiddy]

Save BBC 6 Music!

[Grebfairy]

like it, go Gazza go

[spctnhs]

excellent combination!

[a1mint]

A proper lesson from Numan to LB to stop singing that Lady Gaga like shit she does, and pay more attention to the king of Synthpop...

[MartinJamesKeegan]

Fantastic

[SusanMichelle1968]
