Default Any Numan fans?

Always been a fan of the early stuff, esp. the heavier guitar edged sound of tubeway army then up until pleasure principle circa 81, anyway he's just released a new album jagged which Ive d/l'ed very dark and moody and pretty awesome actually!

No-one's going to admit to this, be honest.

I once appeared in a Gary Numan tribute band in the early 90's. It was good fun, as it happens.

Why not? I think he was good way back in the 80's.

Nice one bubba, did you have to wear black nail varnish and stand there without smiling through the whole set? Actually his book 'praying to the aliens' is a good read as well, I didnt know that Paul Gardiner (his bass player from tubeway army days) topped himself.

No shame in admiting I like a bit of Numan seen him many time but not for many years, his recent stuff is far more guitar orientated, he once bought my neighbours Marcos when I was a kid, right at his peak you can imagine this guys at No 1 and he's in my street buying a motor, all of us kids were like "its Gary Numan" once met him back stage at Hammy Odeon years ago, nice down to earth guy and yes he did marry a fan, who stalked him !!, I think Gardner overdosed on H over 20 years ago now.

Did anyone go to the mini Telekon Tour, saw him for old times sake on Saturday at the Forum, what a great gig, atmosphere was awesome, obviously full of hardcore fans going ballistic, sounded great though, really enjoyed it.

I had a "super fan" in front of me on the balcony and he was so up for it then this woman with a nipper wearing ear defenders walks in front of his view so he politely taps her ushering her to the side, she just stares him out something chronic, it was Numan's wife, maybe she forgot she was just like "super fan" before she married Numan, you can see why he married her though, stalker or not.

when I was a teen.. my world began and ended with Gary Numan !
was a huge fan back in the 80's.... I had the black hair... the blue hair... all the albums ( some signed) got tickest to the Fury tour... should have been seated half way back up the apollo in Manchester... was well chuffed that a mate who was with us knew someone who worked there and got us right to the stage !! I still own Numan's Dad's backstage pass from that tour too !

My brother and I used to walk around our school playground trying to mimmick Gary's death stare. I was 9, my brother 2 years older.

I always wanted the front of my hair dyed red but mum said no!

I think it's a dirty fetish show. A bit like the clothes show but with lots of leather, gimps etc.
I want to go next year.
