I met Gary Numan yesterday

[threebikesmcginty]

Eno best known as the father of ambient music.

Numan one of the pioneers of commercial electronic music

I think he did some proper electro stuff before he started on the lift music didn't he?

 

[Nicensleazy]

I don't think Numan has ever done 'lift music'

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I don't think Numan has ever done 'lift music'

Doh! Eno I meant not the Numeister

If I remember, isn't he a pilot.....I think he landed an aircraft on a motorway once.

He nearly landed the plane on the A30 trying to land at Blackbushe airport

Didn't Numan get caught with a baseball bat under the seat of his car? Claimed it was for self-defense

 

[Nicensleazy]

What were his followers called, Numanoids ?????????

This is a nice interview, if you don't mind Graham Norton.

 

[Nicensleazy]

Very good interview, thanks for posting.

 

[Maz]

Still love the sound of Are Friends Electric?
Just gotta hum along with that synthesizer. Brilliant.

 

[yello]

did you meet him or did you just SEE him?

My thought too! I've met loads of celebs if that's going to be the definition of "met". In fact, if that's how we're going to class such encounters then I've virtually had oral sex performed on me by Keira Knightly.

I recall seeing Gary Numan (though they were Tubeway Army in those days) when someone in the crowd gobbed on him. Gary, ever so measuredly, took his time & waited for a break in the lyrics, kneeled down and gobbed right back. Class.

 

[Nicensleazy]

Well, as I walked off the train, I said hi.

Although I was a Punk back in the late 70's and into the Stranglers, I was always quite fond of Numan and the Human League. Couldn't stand Visage and that pratt Stve Strange.........he was bloody strange. About 4 years ago he was caught shoplifting in South Wales.

Shows a remarkable lack of ambition if you ask me.

 

[Cubist]

I once made a chicken casserole for the Undertones.

 

[yello]

I once made a chicken casserole for the Undertones.

Is that a chat-up line? It's a bloody good one!

 

[Hilldodger]

Did he ever mention that I once called him a tawt?
