Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Gary Numan

Which album is that John?

Automatic, reissued CD with bonus tracks

Urgh. One of Gary's worst nightmares back in the shops! Voices and Change Your Mind were great, but the rest sounded pretty dreadful to me.

Although probably not as bad as Gary is sounding right now...

ATLANTA LATEST

We have looked at all the various options for trying to reschedule the Atlanta show but none of them work out and so, sadly, we will not be able to play Atlanta on this tour. We are all extremely disappointed, especially as I know a lot of people travelled very long distances to see the show. We will make an announcement regarding refunds as soon as possible.

As of this morning my voice is still not working at all and so my worries now begin to swing slowly towards Washington DC and our forthcoming show there. I have a collection of medicines given to me by the doctors in Atlanta so we are now just waiting to see how quickly they work. I was told not to use my voice for another 72 hours minimum, but that clearly isn't possible with the tour schedule, so I have to get it working as soon as I can and then be careful with it for a while.

Again, really sorry about all this.

Bye for now,

Gary N.

Saw that email too, Alex. Nice of Gary to pen the email himself. He sounds very disappointed.

'Automatic' is a no-no for me as well.

Thanks for that.

Go Wilberforce!

And what a superb read his posts are too!

Although I never thought I would read about Gary Numan comparing his ballbag to his dog's!!!

The post about airplane food is hillarious.

Anybody bought the new Pleasure Principle DVD?

Just wondering what the quality is like as his most recent DVD releases have been very poor quality visually.

I received my copy last friday.
Looks quite good, picture quality improved over the Replica's dvd...no artifacts and compression issues as far as i could see (I thought the Telekon dvd was also good).
Soundwise I have no complaints as well.
Guess they improved the songs here and there as well since nobody seems to record and burn directly to dvd.
They also added some 'bonus' footage which has Gary talking about the recording and the visuals they used on the tour.
Also included is a small interview with Chris Payne, nice one.
It's not a bad buy in my opinion...7 out of 10

cheerios,
