Gary Numan talks 'Savage', Asperger's and the song that saved his marriage 

I'm proud to be a Numanoid.

This man is so honest about his life. He and Gemma are survivors and a massive example of sticking together through the bad times. So many don’t and just walk away! My respect for this great man has gone right up beyond the clouds!

Gary is a very honest and humble man, he's a legend, back on top where he belongs............ Glad this interview is on here, many thanks 🎸👍

Gary Numan is a Electronic pioneer of immense significance!

What a thoroughly honest, decent, good man. That's getting harder and harder to find these days, respect due for staying true, Gary.

Dude's a legend, so honest and down to earth.

I can listen to Gary Human talk all day, he's one of the most interesting people in music. And Yes, he is a Legend.

I have Aspergers too and ADHD never ever be ashmesd to ask for help or hide away or be ashmed to be who you are embrace who you are enjoy life live it be proud don't ever ever ever let anyone bring you down if they don't understand stuff them

wow as a late diagnosed autistic myself, this is fascinating. He is one of my childhood heroes and so much he says resonates like the counting with eye contact. amazing

For some strange reason I,m quite emotional watching and listening to Gary doing this interview ,he,s so honest and the way he talked about his kids and wife. Always loved Gary Numan from Pleasure Principle.

I've gone down the rabbit hole today watching Gary on interviews and what a nice humble honest man he is

"I can't write happy music" ❤️❤️❤️

As a person with Aspergers, Gary Numan is an icon to me. EDIT: I’ve just realised Gary’s on about ShittyFlute, it genuinely is the funniest thing ever!

I recently got back into listening to Gary;s music,,, the last 3 " industrial , eastern , electric style " music,, is just amazing,,, love the Skaparis orchestra versions too,,, wonderful. Gary is so down to earth,,, and his daughters are a true credit to Gary an gemma.

What a great and honest guy

What a great, respectful interview. Honest. Enlighting.

My kids are 17 and 21. They discovered the new album and are fans now...

Gary is such a good guy....💛💛💛💛💛

You have got to love him. ❤️ Such an honest, funny & amazing guy. Great interview, very interesting. Love it! x 💞

Gary!!! Best Album Yet!!! CONGRATULATIONS MATE!!!

What a lovely man. I was lucky to meet him in Glasgow while selling a ticket of his for the show and discuss Aspergers with him and how his music helped me as a young aspie, autistic person. I have several photos with him! The number counting is something I do and did very much as a child. My kids all inherited my traits, eldest is aspie and other son has tics, mild Tourette’s which overlap with aspergers or ASD as it’s called now ( Autism Spectrum Disorder) according to the changes in diagnosis dsm 5 diagnostic manual of 2013. My son and I were diagnosed under the old dsm4 manual way back in time!

So happy this man is back at thetop where he belongs. I'm 57 now and remember going to see himat Glasgow Apollo on his first tour. What an Awesome sound, inspiringgthen and even now. Keep upthe good work Gary.

You know during this pandemic I have been listening to all my faves from the last 55 years and I have always liked Gary Numan . I have been blown away by his interviews. I never realized what an intelligent and well spoken man he is. Savage is really good and is right up there with his greatest work . I shared this with my daughter who had heard Cars but didn't know anything about Gary Numan. She found his music fascinating and couldn't get over how long he has been in the business. He deserves all the success in the world ☺️.

I was born in 2006 and I love all of Gary's music

May Gary live to 120 and look back on 60 and smile 💛

Gary is a genuine human being. The immediacy with which he experiences his humanity is heartwarming. He's wrestling with issues that deserve focus: how to be a good dad; and how to stay in love. These are huge, key life issues, and his articulated thoughts about them are brilliantly clear and incisive. He's an admirable character.

I have been a fan of Gary Numan and tubeway army for years.. just watched loads of videos the past couple of days and I can't believe how honest he really is about his life Style. He is not afraid to speak out how he feels about him and family good luck Gary brilliant interview!!! You legend!!!

Such a great guy and a legend! So happy that he's doing so well and making music. I love the new album and Persia is amazing vocally with her dad in ruined. I hope she does more music with him in the future thank you Gary for such great music over the years.

The male host is such a huge fan. Great interview. I dont think I would be able to hold my fan boy freak out as good as the host lol. I am also high functioning ADHD with mild dyslexia.

What a sweet person! Adore him!

Gary Numan doesn’t even know how spiritual he is...obviously draws on that deeply in his latest music in Splinter and Savage.... that’s the strength and depth in them ❤️

Legend !! Unique and done wonders for UK music . Hail Numan

Gary is such a nice guy, down to earth and very humble.

Thank you Gary - as a 15 yr London Boy - working out which was up - your music and style shone a super cool beacon on my teenage years - I was vicariously cool thanks to you (at least I felt that way) - God bless - Rob :-)

I can never get enough of Gary Newman interviews. He is so genuine and humble, absolute star. And he still makes cutting edge music.

What a wonderful icon, Gary is!

absolutely fantastic interview,got into Gary Numan very recently and hes such an interesting guy and honestly has really helped me understand my asperger's.Absolutely love his music especially his recent stuff but you can't beat the early Gary Numan though.

Great Interview.. Great guy.. Met him a few times.. Looking forward to seeing him near the end of this year in Glasgow..

I love Gary Numan as a musician and as a person ! he is an inspiration to us all with his down to earth honest personality . i wish him nothing but the acclaim he deserves ,

Brilliant man. Changed my life with his music. Bless you Gary!

There is such a need for honesty about mental health. This man's talent is exceptional and I have a lot of respect for him.

I've followed Numan for 40 years, seen and enjoyed many great interviews... this one was brilliant.

Being a big Numan fan since 1979 and having met Gary many times over the years, I can say he is a genuine, honest, really nice guy.

I, Assassin was one of my favorite albums. When I was a kid, my babysitter gave me a single of Cars to play on my record player.

What a fantastic interview.Open and honest.Top bloke is Gary Numan...Absolute legend in my eyes

Isn’t it strange to think the ‘robotic’ Gary Numan turns out to be the most humble, emotional guy! Numanoid forever ❤️🖤❤️🖤

Really excellent interview. Very interesting and everyone is on good form here.

I have been a fan since the early 80s. I'm also on the Autism spectrum, and when I was a teen I didn't know about my condition or his, but Gary Numan's music resonated with me, especially the lyrics.

Gary is so modest and down to earth. He's an absolute inspiration to me on so many levels, and has been for a very long time. Really great video!

I love the music that comes from this man. So glad he is still producing new music and touring.

Love you Gary. What a wonderful person!

I was 16 when Replicas came out, and I was smitten inmediately. Gary Numan is one person I would love to sit down and have a chat with-- he's such an amazing human being, and so bloody humble. This is a brilliant interview-- thank you so much for uploading this! 💛

What a lovely, interesting listen. And re the family connection, his Uncle was the drummer in Tubeway Army.

in this great man you will see over the years the progressive learning curve of a typical aspie , how to deal with people , how to make music , how to act , how to move , how to be gary , wondering if what he does is interesting , insecurity , strength in weakness , weakness in strength , a great man if you get to know him , if you get that chance for him to open a door for you to let you in , easyer now then in the past , a life build up in sequences , like his music , all in specific order , all with a purpose and meaning , like his shows , organised in a specific composition ,as how the brain of an aspie works ,it needs structure , a line to follow , not lightly to be deviated from , always trying tho to be interesting in a standoffish sort of way, reinventing himself within his comfortzone . an awesome man , warm , kind and loving if you manage to get , fit and stay in the circle , if you manage to gather and keep the trust he needs , deserves , and offers , devistated if said trust , kindness and love is taken advantage of or abbused . no i do not claim to know gary , perhaps i am totally wrong , but in my life as a moderate ocd ,adhd and other spectrum afflicted person who like gary has learned to deal with these things and for that reason i think able to read and understand fellow spectrum dwellers i can honnestly say id love to meet him , hang out in a casual but yet standoffish way , not getting so close where it gets crowded or routine or made . you are fucking great gary , keep on doing what you are doing m8 !!

This is the most honest, open, revealing, and funniest Numan interviews I've ever seen!

Best Numan interview I've seen. Love seeing the Asperges creeping in. For example, talking about the near plane accident. "What am I going to do when the plane hits the water? Dinghy's up the back. First one to get to it will likely survive." LOL

I saw Gary with a free pass (my friends dad worked in an office with the keyboard player in the support band) - signed by Gary Webb. Was awesome even though nothing like what I was ever into before (I was a metal fan who loved a number of pop singers of the time - Kershaw, Jones, Bush, Wilde, etc.). The show was one of the most amazing I've seen in 35 years. Astounding I'd say. That would have been around 1985 (give or take) when at Uni in Manchester. My son loves Gary Numan - and I've never played him any. He's 20. He picked it up on his own. When I told him Persia was on the track today he said he thought it was Gary's voice put through some device... :D I bought Savage and the new album Intruder recently. Awesome. Love it more than I did the old stuff (I never did the middle stuff). My Name is Ruin would be a metal classic if not so electronica ;P

Fascinating man, great musician

I'm gorgeous Garys lockdown fan love him so so much and his family seem nice too bless Gary and his family

I appreciate him talking about his aspergers and the counting, the way he navigates eye contact...

Unbelievable the challenges that some people have. Thanks for sharing Gary, you're an inspiration to the rest of us. Thanks for finding your way through.

Now, he has released Intruder and what I'm most excited about is that his best is yet to come. AND Intruder is BRILLIANT!

I love this man,s music it never gets old his gd at wot he does I have been a Gary numan fan for years have seen him in concert back in the 80is

What a fantastic interview with a genuine bloke who ordinary people like me can relate to.

I was watchin Mind hunter on Netflix last weekend and during an episode the song M.E.was played at a pivotal point, another song rediscovered, I downloaded to spotify. 2 days later a colleague 30 years younger, heard me playing it and said he had downloaded it a week earlier. Demonstrates the timelessness of this maestro Mr Numan.

Love that he talks about being an atheist & not worrying about God if his plane was about to crash, & then talking about his Mums battle with cancer & how he's 'hope to God' he could have the same strength as her if he ever had to face it.

Amazing guy, love how honest and sincerely he talks about live, the good and the bad.

Gemma and Gary are so strong and beautiful together, i really admire both of them. ❤

Don’t you want to just go down the pub with him, have a couple of pints, and BS about life and music and whatever else? Plus he is so damn funny. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling serious Covid alienation and Gary’s music has been so helpful. Watching and listening to him talk has been just as good

Great interviewers, letting Gary talk freely and he comes across as an honest guy who has been though it. Enjoyed his flying at airshows a few years back :-) and still enjoying the music now :-)

"I've really never felt that I had talent." And M.E. I eat dust. We're all so run down. I'd call it my love but I'd only fade away. And I hate to fade alone. Now there's only...M.E. Why should I try? Why should I care? Oh no! Oh no! I've turned off the pain. Like I turned off you all. Now there's only...M.E. Gary you are some kind of a modest, humble person. I don't think you understand how deeply your music and songs are entrenched into the minds of your fans. You absolutely rock. You are a one-of-a-kind original. I lift my glass to the absolute GRANDFATHER OF ELECTRONICA. Peace and love from Canada.

What an intelligent person. Thanks Gary

Come on Gary - 60 is the new 30!!

My son is almost 16 and comes with me to see Gary now. He loves it.

Numan is a legend. Ever since sacrifice he hasn't put a foot wrong. Great live and great albums.

Loved this man forever... he's so talented... so blinking honest.... You look amazing Gary... GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR TOUR....

Published on Vangelis’s birthday. Another electronic music pioneer!

On long drives my 19yo daughter will whack on The Pleasure Principle. The first time she did this I thought how cool. I ask her did she remember her mother and I listening to it when she was a baby. Thinking I am fishing for credit she says ‘yeah right dad, it’s not because of that, it’s because it’s one of the best albums I have ever heard’. My job as a parent is done!

Damn he is so insightful intelligent down to earth and a great family man. I have huge respect for Gary and I’m going to follow his career much better than I did after the 80’s. I’m a bit Embarrassed that I just wondered off and I didn’t really know much about him back in the day actually but this man is worth following. His recent concerts are amazing and the dude is in his 60’s ! Love his music and the fact that he is the person that he is just makes it so much more worth it. His family is really lucky and I’m so Happy for him that he is now able to enjoy his success and he has alot of love around him. He deserves it ..big time 😊

I'm not Lady Numan for nothing!! I so admire Gary & Gemma as a couple. So proud of the girls! It all started with me at 11 years old hearing Cars for the first time, and taking the album out of the library over and over!

I am so glad and grateful for you having the courage to be yourself. I’m inspired by your thoughts in your music. Good Man.

What an amazing person. I’ve known and loved his music for decades but I never knew he was such a decent fellow!

Still love indulging in a back to back listen to "Telekon" on Vinyl. Nearly 45 years on and it sounds so immediate and current.

I was only about 2 or 3 When Gary started, but later in the 80's I liked his albums, Pleasure Principle etc, but his late 90's and early 00's albums are when his albums really hooked me, starting with "Jagged"

One of the best interviews i watched with gary a true legend

Really like Gary. He,s so humble, genuine about not only his success but his failures and his mental health issues. Not many very successful people or bands who are the genuine article. Another band who are really great people are Reef who are also just the nicest guys and have time for their fans. I,m seeing both Gary and Reef in 2022 with my wife. We have met the Reef lads on several occasions but I would really love to chat to Gary. I don't do Hero worship, I treat celebrities the way I want to be treated and you'll find celebrities will respond in kind with kindness and time for you.

What a great human being. I was touched by his honesty. Incredible. And the music is great too!

I randomly found Gary because I loved his music, Love you bro moreover because you are real:)

Hello angel- thank you for having courage to be you. Definitely a part of the same tribe. Everything you said resonates with this house. Thank you for your music. I cried in the car today listening to Savage. It must be a musician thing. ;)

Thank ;you for posting this interview. He is such a great guy. Only love him more now.

I hav the same things, and is great to have Gary say it so well, he has a real god handle on what is something a lot have, i do, it speaks to me, i have never really been able to say why, but he hits it

What a lovely artist. So honest , it’s not easy to be so honest about the harder times in life. Blimey I saw him perform with his daughter on ‘the old grey whistle test ‘ (twice) my daughter, husband and I were stopped in our trackers and listened to every word of their song. Brilliant! By the way I would love to see The old grey whistle test back again. ❤️❤️

Electronic visionary. Gary's first three albums are groundbreaking and still relevant today. Some of his latest work is incredible.

I totally love this guy

Been a fan many years. Great album. I really connected with his comment on not being able to write happy music. I love his music. It's dark and very calming and comfortable.

The man's an absolute legend 😁

LOVE This Gary's style and his music is amazing.

Love gorgeous Gary numan so so much love him forever just wish I could of gone to see him right from the start so in love with him

Not only is it fantastic to see and hear Gary talking about his music and life , very honest. He never really went away from the music scene just there for new people to listen and understand that Gary was out there in the future, when he first played in the 70's he was leaps ahead of time the rest of us just had to catch up with him.

Great interview from a great man
