He's got to be one of the nicest guys in the music business. A total professional. Bummer that volcanos stopped him from visiting the US this spring. His blogs says he's trying to reschedule for September. Can't wait!
Man what a great guy !!! all his interviews he is constantly a modest and nice man. As for the comments on his hair..who cares, and who cares if he is not telling the truth about it. Maybe he is insecure about it, arent we all insecure about somethings ? Also he does play is old songs, he just doesn't want it to be an 80's tour. He wants most of the focus on new material :)
I agree, Gary Numan comes accross as very down to earth. Gary Numan is very innovative and influential musician, who revolutionised pop music and became the first, true synthesizer star. I think it's about time that Gary Numan gets full recognition and be acknowledged for his fantastic contribution to pop music.
@RolandJP4 Yes sir !!! Thank god he is getting recognition that he deserves !! I just love the guy !! and his music. I have been a musician for 30 years and after that time you can see the genius in terry bozzio to Igor Stravinsky for technique....To the beatles for the pure genius in the song writing. Bringing up Gary who like you said "revolutionized pop music and became the first, true synthesizer star"
Hi ThePeanuts010, what you up to on the music front at the moment mate? You've got opinions about GN, what validates them? Curious and eager to hear more of your wisdom!!
Nothing wrong with someone having some cosmetic work done such as a hair transplant when their career relies upon their looks to a great extent. Its not even about vanity in that situation. But when its just someone doing it for pure vanity and they are not a performer it is excessive and usually degenerate.
Anyone who thinks Numan is a one-hit wonder hack should see this video. As simple as these tips seem, they're more intelligent than anything I've heard any other musician say in a long time.
Wow, this is golden, real advice from the Godfather himself. Listen and do what he says, he is no BS the honest to god rock star /regular guy. I wish i could do my engineerign job as well as he does his art!
As much as I would like it to be his real hair, I don't think it is. I know he says differently in his autobiography but I think for once he's not telling the truth. Anyone who has doubts should look at pictures of Lyle Menendez. Same style and density and it turned out to be a wig.
@TheLemonKid01 I am not saying this in a bad way believe me, I don't see what I'm gonna say as such a big deal, but Gary has always been vain, probably very vain. Hear me out first.
He based his thing on Bowie, whether he admits it or not, with all the different images, makeup, and then Gary also did that blond-brunette-blond-brunette thing which has him reminding me a lot of Madonna! So of course he's gonna be shaken up by early baldness.
@huntedhalo I know right? But it almost goes TOO far! When you know that you're broke, you gotta stop all of that! LOL LOL There's some interview from the late 80s/early 90s saying Gary and his parents put people up in a hotel for a concert???
Shoot, it would be nice if the Wimbledon people or the Olympics people would do that!!! Are his parents really Christian or something? 'We give for the Lawd!'
Some good advice Mr Cool Gary Numan, I have had a few problems to going back to playing music but after seeing this and the advent of you tube I am really thinking about getting back into it again
I've been with him ever since Replicas. Thanks for the memories, Gary.

Idiot!! Why don't you log onto his official website and read the interviews, before judging Gary Numan a hypocrite.

He is going in the footsteps of William Shatner and Gary Glitter with that wig

its not a wig its just died,
he had hair implants bck in the 80s so he should be going bald by now but he isnt! take that god!

TheLemonKid01 2 years ago
i think its real, his hairline is too far back for it to stay on if it was a wig. and the type of dye he uses can effect how thick the hair looks.
Ilikenuman 2 years ago
I don't know about that, look at Elton John. I guess only Gemma knows for sure.

@TheLemonKid01 He famously had hair transplants in the early 80's. Wore hats a lot around that time. It's all on record.
