GARY NUMAN. INTERVIEW ON BREAKFAST TV. 2/9/11.

[fergusil]

Those interviewers should be shot! No research done whatsoever! They made Gary feel so uncomfortable and made no attempt to try and get where he was coming from.Gary is an absolute genius and I had the privilege of seeing him live in 2009 in my home town Cork.

[hellchild65]

dont you guys love how when they interview people like David Bowie or Numan for example, its always "oh lets talk about Ziggy era stuff" or "oh lets talk about Replicas/PP era stuff" jez stop living in the past dumb asses

[shezjackson]

stupid reporters asking daft questions this man is a legend.

[shezjackson]

gary is amazing

[alanlad1]

i thought this was a very good interview,,id love to bend that presenter over that sofa,,and that would be the female one!!!

[bodienotdoyle]

Well done Gary! Kept it together well, even though the interviewers were plain rubbish!!

[05Rachel]

"So when you go on tour... What do you do... If you can't sing?"

FFS SHUTUP YOU STUPID WOMAN.

[05Rachel]

"Electronic prostitute".... "okay?"

"I thought it was Our Friends Electric!"

OH COME ON.

[KingHyenaFilmsUK]

who the fuck do these pricks on the bbc think they're interviewing!? It makes me angry being british that i have to pay these twats wages! being unknowledgeable, dismissive, condescending etc is not the way to talk to any interviewee (unless your fox news of course) let alone a down to earth legend of synth pop..cant believe how tabloid our so called TV license broadcaster has become where they have to almost poke fun at people who are different rather than celebrate them to get the ratings

[looseSpark]

These two are bad by daytime TV standards. I have to say most of the time UK daytime/morning telly is not this bad. I thought Gary was very natural, nice and accommodating despite them and didn't seem uncomfortable at all. I know a lot of "celebs" who would have got quite snippy at the apparent rudeness.

[Blade3327]

Terrible interviewers, but there are some nuggets of goodness here -- mainly, we're getting another album in 2012!

[Fender1976uk]

That woman is a TWAT!! Gary explains some stuff about why he didn't smile in the 80's! its honest and real! then she brings up the X Factor?? what a turd!

[Fender1976uk]

Always expect commerical! clone reporters to point out boring things!! em?? the Cure had eye make up in the 80's! its not new?? whats with those 2 idiots?? and then they ask who does his make up?? they have no idea what to talk about!!! damn it!!!!! I would ask Gary about the themes of the album! what synths hes using!! its clear that the interviewers are not fans of this music!! they probably like Mcfly and Coldplay!

[Braveheart1297]

what bad experience for Gary, these two know nothing about gary obviously!!!

[RedUncle]

Gary really shines here! condescending and loathsome presenters insinuating that he looks weird, his video is too scary, he's too old, and using his modesty against him to suggest that he can't sing .... this exchange typifies everything that's grotesquely wrong with "adults" ... if only every fifty-plus year old was as cool and likable as Gary Numan - he is truly awesome (by the way, I love his new record)

[m3diastar]

This interview makes me wince nearly as much as that total cock who interviewed Loy Reed & Lars Ulrich on the BBC the other week on the Andrew Marr show

[merryminx]

Boy these presenters are lame



[uspacerocket]

She was a bit of a bunt, wasn't she?

[dariandeven2]

brilliant to see numan cool, funny and being who we all know him to be. woman news presenter, do your background work, all musicians don't originate from xfactor... top man numan

[carld1967]

Fuck me the gab on about AFE and then say lets see a clip from Cars !!! unbeleivable !!!

[taylorkarn]

Yes! What absolute dickheads, and the sad thing is..they get paid MONEY for all the shite that comes out of their mouths!!

[ariesscorpiorising]

@jacobsdog Jeez, u numan worshippers take this shit WAAAAY too seriously,. I'm sure Gary wasnt arsed about the questions, and it is well known that over fawning fanboys like you embarrass Gary quite a bit. XD

[chinesefake]

Those two are %100 dicks, what a stupid pair of planks. They don't have a clue about pop culture, image or honesty. Good old Gary, keep it up mate.

[SollyMotherF]

good enough? Very well put about the x craptor! What has gary been doing for the last 30 odd years? I wonder if x craptor or many acts new today will be around in 30 years time? I think most people just dont understand him or the music? I love it ! Got my ticket for december!

[pinkerton05]

What a crap interview, Gary Numan rocks!

[malcolmsnake]

GARY, YOU ARE THE MASTER, YOU ARE THE BEST, AND YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL TEETH!

[Ryboner1]

seriousley Gary, with respect u should sort out your promo people they did you no favours here, yes bbc breakfast has a massive audiance but your cred i think took a hit with these oiky presenters.

[MikeTheKleenezeGuy]

All I can say is "Oh dear!"

[hdprice]

What a stupid cow

[ariesscorpiorising]

@hdprice Stop being such an arse licking ponce. Gary didnt seem arsed about the questions, and seemed merry enough throughout the interview. Ya Poof. :) 

[phil1002010]

Typical stuffy totally shit BBC interview!!! Auntie Beeb fucked up again!!! Gary went on there to do a serious interview to plug his album and they totally disrespected him, did no research whatsoever, treated him like he was brainless, ' oh yeah, lets talk about his make up, and lets plug AFE and Cars while we're at it too', !!!! WTF??!! The two of the would be better off doing Songs of Praise, they'd fit right in perfectly. October 24th, album release date? What's she on about?  What an idiot!

[PatrickIngham21]

@phil1002010 The album go's on General release (ie Shops and Amazon etc) on Oct 24th. It was only released earlier via his website and the tour.

[replicas79]

he looks brilliant!

[machman261063]

somebody should put these two out of their misery. have never encountered such c**p before. wonder what, if anything they will be doing 30 years from now. get yourselves another job!

[TheDreamRecorder]

Numan should have asked why they were interviewing when they clearly cant- what a couple of dim amateurs.

[modsleix6]

What an airhead!... If this chick got one more molecule of air in her skull she'd probalbly pop. Completely stupid, ignorant and clueless... And the moron on the left? I'd like to go off in this imbecile in true "Clockwork Orange" fashion, just for being an idiot with not a ghost of an idea of who he is talking to. I bet the same thing would've happened if he was on American TV as well or worse... Who hired these mental midgets? Typical mainstream media, idiots all... Numan rules, as always....

[emjay946]

@modsleix6 i wonder how long they were given to do their research, and remember it,

[davidmcgarva]

Amazingly typical vacuous tv presenters!Both as thick as each other! - But she is especially dim!

[vermillionsnake]

I'd sell one of my kidneys to interview gary, could have done so much better myself, considering how much synth music i've listened to over the years and i'm a numan fan since 1978. Pair of twats.

[TheCanndyman]

It reminds me of an adult talking to two silly children (dressed in their Sunday-best clothes).

How do they hire these people? I'm unemployed, and finding it hard to get suitable work - though I could rung rings around this pair of intellectually-challenged dummies (as I'm sure the other respondents on here could do equally well too).

Ha - 'don't be a dummy', as Gary once sang - maybe they should have played a clip of that instead! ;-)

[1969linz]

they were not suitable,but i do like them on other items.they seemed so old! he is way older than susannah our mr numan but he is cool!

[1969linz]

they were not suitable,but i do like them on other items.

[Fixerkitty]

Gary totally saved this segment and was absolutely brilliant. These interviewers didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Nice to see that idiocy on morning TV isn't restricted to the States... :/

[JarrodCook93]

a gary numan interview where they play the video for cars, how original

[DreadedX]

@JarrodCook93 yeah it gets a bit cringe worthy after the millionth time. I guess they have to play the songs that 'most' people (who aren't Numan fans) will remember. Always 'Cars' and 'Are Friends Electric' though lol.

[LuckyJ88]

god I want to slap that bitch. >__> the woman I mean, oh and the guy too. The dumb cunts.

[mediaassault]

It's good to see that morning shows in the UK are just as shit as they are in America. At least Gary was there to add some class.

[jakejasmine]

Our Friends Electric! W.T.F? Who picked these jokers to interview Numan? It's a bloody disgrace :(

[Numaness]

Complete utter waste of space these presenters, they won't be presenting in 30 years me thinks, maybe give them a year. Numpties! Gary is an artist, a gent!!

[debndalentoby]

*seen a little of Gemma, can't wait for the album x

[debndalentoby]

The presenters didn't do their homework and knew very little about Gary. He himself came across very well, wish we could have seem

[NickDrake101]

They are terrible! Clearly not Numan fans in the first place...the gorm says he thought it was "OUR friends electric". rotflmao! then the cowbag says "you go on tour... you cant sing" That one required a slap! and thoughout , Gary was just as affable as he's always been.

[Kneichion]

Wooden Puppets!

I guess Gary is used to stupid presenters.

[NumanCraze]

It's clear that the Breakfast TV presenters have NO IDEA of synth music history. The questions are so bland.

[Synthsound1]

Stuck up there own arses, the presenters.

[STEVEL361]

You beat me to it Phil.....yeah the interviewers were dreadful and clearly don't have a clue what they are talking about...Still Gary comes across brilliantly as usual.

[kerzwhile]

Thanks for posting this!! Numan fans on this side of the water hole never would have seen it!! ;)

[TheTelekon]

october 24,whats she talking about.

[brumsterbrum]

@TheTelekon dozy bint! Why is it some presenters cant interview someone that normally isnt in the charts! The same old questions. Still its publicity. October tho? Stupid bint!!!!!

[TheTelekon]

i agree the presenters are shite.

[emjay946]

@TheTelekon i disagree (sorry) lol i honestly think if i were sat to interview gary and the cue was given id just go Hi Gary blah blah octopus and end up hopping away with my head between my knees like basil fawlty

[Numaness]

What a pair of arseholes presenters!! I love Gary he is a gent and absolutely brilliant! 13/9/80!
