Gary Numan - Metal (KD Remix 2024)

This is another fan-made remix of a Gary Numan track that features as track 2 on "The Pleasure Principle" that was released in 1979. Yet again, the original version of this song demonstrates that Gary Numan was a pioneer of synth rock and he definitely set the benchmark for the next few years. "The Pleasure Principle" got to number 1 in the UK and remained in the album charts for 21 weeks.
I remember seeing a TV show called Synth Britannia where Andy McCluskey from OMD referred to Gary Numan as "Johnny come lately" whilst still acknowledging Gary Numan's contribution to the synth genre.
• Andy McCluskey from Or...
I think I understand what Andy McCluskey was saying in that OMD, Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, The Games etc had been playing with synths for a while and suddenly Gary Numan starts using them and he takes things to another level. To be fair to Gary Numan, he was doing innovative things in 1979 - he might not have been the first to use synths, but when he got his hands on them his musical creativity and incredible vision resulted in some of the most epic synth rock tracks ever written. Gary Numan has influenced so many artists and he is starting to get the credit he deserves for his contribution to music. Thanks for the music Gary Numan.
I have not done this for personal gain and will make no money from this video.

[@Berus7777]

I'm 62 years old. I live in California and make techno and synthwave. I listen to French 79, I listen to Fontaines D.C., and I listen to a LOT of things... but Gary Numan... is in a particular sphere of musical existence that is beyond the transient nature of most music. Kraftwerk are the only other group I would put in this category. The sound of that Minimoog... the Juno... and other synths he used are iconic and haunting -- STILL. This music will never sound dated.

[@KDEADS]

Thanks for your comments. I enjoyed reading them.

Yes back in N.Ireland 45 years ago Tubeway Army [THE BLUE ALBUM] got me into being a musician. Loved tracks like 'Sometings in the house' 'My shadow in vain' 'Listen too the sirens' . Learned every bass line , guitar and synth part. Do check out our stuff you may even find a few similarities . Blessings from New Zealand

I have always loved this song since I was a 7 year old when my dad played it to me on his original JVC Hi-Fi.... I think I might have to have this played at my funeral... such a haunting sound which takes you away from the humdrum life of today! yes I was 7 in 1979. I'm 52 today going on 53 next month, this is one of the starter songs for us Gen Xers. Gary and the Tubeway army was massive in 79 and 80. brilliant stuff. loved this even more haunting version too.

I am 66 years old n and I saw the Pleasure Principle tour in California (Bay Area) I've been to a lot of concerts and I can say that this one was one of the best..I've seen Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode when they first came to the US they didn't have a drummer David Gohan had a button on the floor that he would step on and it would make a Reel to Reel that had the drum tracks on it play.. Seen Ultravox last show n S.F., saw Romeo Void, Wall of voodoo, missing persons, the motels,.. it's a long list but there's just a few, but gary numan was right up there.. and saw Queen like 6times..

[@dclefevre]

The visualizations done here are really great. One of the things I really love about Gary Numan is how certain songs can be enjoyed on the musical level but then there is a very Phillip K. Dick type story underneath it all. Metal's story of a synthetic creature trying to survive and understand everything going on (and being bullied and teased at the same time) is one of my favorites.
