keeganshigh I’m sorry but no. He’s right. This song is a fuckin sacred gem. No one knows about it to this day. People that know the original have never even heard this cover.
I'm glad this isn't just a cover of a song and actually has Gary Numan in the song and video. It really pays due respect to a great song and great singer.
No joke - since 2010, until recently I thought the guy with black hair was just another member of Fear Factory. So dumb it took me 10 years to realise it was actually Gary Numan haha
"Cars" is a 1979 song by UK artist Gary Numan, and was released as a single from the album The Pleasure Principle. In the UK charts, it reached number 1 in 1979, and in 1980 hit number 1 in Canada two weeks running on the RPM national singles chart and rose to number 9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It debuted on the American Top 40 on 29 March 1980, and spent a total of 17 weeks in the AT40. And that's how old this song really is. Video game?! Ha! Young'uns...
This video wouldn't be right without Newman participating. He earned it and deserves respect. One of the best remakes ever. Love the combination of yesterday and today at the end of the video
Damn straight, Hella unique and cool sound to them. (This song isn't the beat example) Not hella edgy And as a Christian man theor songs armt full of them praising sin. (Well here and there there is but most songs dont)
It's crazy what you run across when you start looking up covers to songs you know from the past. I had no idea Fear Factory covered this one...and with the help of Gary Numan's vocals alongside of Bell's! Thanks RU-vid!
Found out about this song through test drive 6... what a nostalgic song, one of the best covers EVER I miss the times when we had rock songs on the racing games... another reason to play it
A perfect cover. Doesn't deviate far from the original, while sounding original in itself. And featuring the original aritist. Well done Fear Factory 🤘
Now this is a good remake of a cool 80's song and they even got the original artist to be on it. The guy seems just as strange now as he did in the 80's.
Looks like he's playing a Roland Jupiter 8 synth. Always loved this cover of the song. So heavy, but so true to the original, and with Gary Numan himself to boot. This music video never gets old.
One of the best videos ever.... I came of age in the 90's - remembered this song in the 80's..... - they were right to honor Gary Newman. Perfect - PERFECT mesh!
Holy Fuck! This is awesome. I'm an old fart and was a big Gary Numan fan back then. This is an amazing cover, and having Gary IN the video is so great.
I remember a local music channel called "The Box" that existed around the time this music video was new, You could call in and select which music video you want to play next, I requested this video so much im sure people got tired of seeing it but i didnt care, I was just a dumb teenager. Ha! memories. Fear Factory will always be one of my top loved metal bands of all time! 🤘
