Back on Oct. 16, Gary Numan dropped by Amoeba Music in Hollywood during his U.S. tour to plan an in-store set, video from which the independent record giant has just posted. Below, you can see Numan and his band perform two tracks off last year’s Splinter (Songs From a Broken Mind) — album opener “I Am Dust” and “Love Hurt Bleed” — as well as his smash “Cars.”
Numan returns for a full North American tour in March and April.

If they told the audience to hold as still as possible the guy in the black shirt didn’t listen!

The cycle of music life. It’s funny to hear his new stuff and think about how much it’s influenced by NIN — and then realize that if it weren’t for Gary Numan in the first place, there probably wouldn’t have been an NIN.

At 9:55, i thought for sure his toupee was going to fly off his head.

As soon as he began to steal from NIN, I lost interest.

That thing he does with his mouth lol. For some reason I just thought this was a funny video. Maybe it was the trying to be so serious thing. Hilarious.

Thank you Gary. There would be no NIN or Stabbing Westward without you. You paved the way.

Gary has not released anything exciting since Sacrifice,and that was 20 years a go.
Gary,ditch the top hat,the mascara and the loud guitars and go back to being a leader instead of a follower.

Are you 30, Adam? Numan has always been a follower–sometimes a fun one, most often not. His lifts include: Bowie, Roxy, Beefheart, Eno, Neu, Kraftwerk, Ultravox and dozens of others–he’s always been a thief. Like most pop musicians! Including all the ones Iisted. Although, I’m pretty sure that those vertical white lights behind Reznor/ Buckingham/ Grohl/Queens at the Grammy’swas from Numan’s first American tour (1982) when he was backed by–basically–Ultravox. Oh no, wait–those lights were first used on Bowie’s “Stage” tour–oh, well, I tried.

Lol at the negative comments. Nothing exciting since the excellent ‘Sacrifice’ in 1994… What rubbish you speak. In fact the awesome ‘Absolution’ was only a few months later. One of his best to date. And ‘Crazier’. Every album since 1994 has been awesome

Oh and braindead Bazshit… He doesn’t have a toupee he had hair transplants as documented many years ago in the autobiography. Doofas
