Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Gary Numan

So I guess it's like the re-issue of Replicas (Redux) - the original album cover on a slipcase but a different cover in the jewel case...

Last night Numan appeared on stage with NIN at the O2 arena. They played Metal and Cars together.

Superb exposure for Gary, to an audience of this size!!

Trent introducing Gary & Metal

The bloke filing this goes completely bonkers with excitement. It's hilarious.

But Gary sounds bloody brilliant with NIN's powerful arrangement.

Cars

Yes thats it. And more thought has gone into the third disc this time round.


He was more excited when Numan took to the stage, than when NIN came on at the beginning. Lets just say, the power of no promoting.

The irony is, back in the US, NIN are unhappy with their fairwell shows, and have added more dates and different content to make this the Fairwell to tours, they had wished for. Guest appearences like this has helped them too.

I've just picked up my Pleasure Principal tour tickets for the Edinburgh gig

At last Gary, after many many years since the first time you toured with this album, when as a very shy teenager I went to see you, alone I proceeded to join the queue outside the venue, and I promptly turned away and left!

Three guys who had been in my class at school from a few years before this time were also in the queue, recognised me, and heckled the hell out of me, so I didn't go into the gig

Its been a long time, and I no longer have my Numan haircut, but I'm ready to do battle

New close up video of Numan and NIN version's of \'Metal\', and \'Cars\'.

Theres also nearly a 'million'ish' performance photos of Numan and NIN on their sites and their fans have been very much in favour of Gary's appearance yesterday, judging by the forums.

Thanks for the link, Alex

So wonderful to see/hear Gary up there with Trent.

Yes indeed. The photos/videos, everything....what a great aura of excitement.

I wish I could have been there.

More good coverage on the BBC website today!

..excellent!

Interesting noncomment about the upcoming Pleasure Principle tour and guitars.
