There may have been a thread on this already, but I cannot find a search link on this forum. Somebody please direct me to that thread if there is one. I read that he has asperger's syndrome. I've been a fan for awhile and actually saw him live in the US two years ago. I know he's much bigger in the UK than in the states.
So, yes is anyone a fan of Gary Numan/Tubeway Army?

I love Cars. I've not really dug into his work - it's something I'd like to do.

His earlier stuff and the later stuff that I've heard from him has been pretty good, I know next to nothing about the stuff that he did between the early 80's and prior to 2000 or so.

I have a concert ticket signed by him from some time in the 90s

Met him too, but I was a kid at the time so don't remember it too well

I've been a Gary Numan fan since I first heard "Cars" on the radio in '79. \m/
I also had a horrid crush on him for years - ohhhh, the eyeliner and the silver lipstick... :oops:

I've only just discovered him, and I seem to be working my way backwards through this discography lol.

So I'm basically starting with all his super dark stuff. Which is still great.

Definately a Gary Numan fan here. :wink:

My favourite album of his, is definately The Pleasure Principle, followed by Replicas. I also like Telekon and Tubeway Army.

I love his stuff.

"Cars" as well as "Are 'Friends' Electric" are my favorite songs of his (technicially the latter is Tubeway Army, but still...); I don't have much of his stuff though. I like hard copies of discs, and his stuff is near impossible to find here.

Love "Cars," though I haven't yet really delved into his stuff. But I did listen to a very recent song on YouTube, I think it was from his latest album, it was really dark and industrial sounding, but really catchy.

I like Gary Numan a lot. The Pleasure Principle is a great album.

As I love GN, as he is one of my favorite artists (As I like his old and new stuff). Want to really see him when the new album comes out. Been a hardcore fan since "Jagged" and known him since around "Pure" I think. He is an underated icon, who also happens to have ADHD.

I bought the Cars 7" when it came out.. one of the first records I got with my own money. I liked Cars, but LOVED Metal (side B). Films is one of my other favorite songs on Pleasure Principle.

I met Gary after a show in Atlanta years ago.. super friendly and approachable. We talked about synths, his plane trip in the early 80s, ect. I remember (prior to meeting him) having a dream about Gary Numan.. I was in a city with no windows or doors, nobody there except me.. then I saw Numan walking.. I approached him, but he told me to buzz off. It was a weird, depressing dream. Meeting him in person helped for some reason.

I've covered a Gary Numan song in most of the bands I've been in.. love his music.
