Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another PATREON request with Gary Numan and his song "CARS."

I'll never regret being born in an era when this was the type of music that dominated my growing up days. How lucky we were!
I’d go back to that time in a heartbeat.
So true
79/88, the great years...
I’m 53 and still listen to all that music now. So good. So fresh then and now!
Born 1966 and know exactly where you are coming from..
Can’t believe this song was 42 years ago! Reached Number 1 in the UK in September 1979, giving Gary his second chart topper of the year.
Gary is the Godfather of synth pop. He kicked the doors open for all New Wave music, I'll fight anyone who disagrees. The music he is making today, is equally groundbreaking. Love him so much.
Bebe and Louis Barron who created the first fully Synthetic soundtrack for the movie Forbidden anet in the 50's and many of their peers who were experimenting with Electronic Music are the parents of Synth Pop. I suggest you look them and these other artists up on CZcams, as some of their music is available on it, along with the history of synthesizers and it's influence on music of the 60's - 80's. It's amazing how the progress in electronics and early electric music led to this and other styles of music like techno, house, industrial, rap, etc, not that Gary didn't play his part ong with many artists of the 8o's.
Ironically the Cars were the first New Wave Rock group but Gary came in right after
Gary Numan regards John Foxx as the godfather of synth pop. He is correct.
Vincent Clarke.
Ahhh, dear, sweet Gary Numan. One of the nicest guys in the business, he had some really rough times at the hands of the awful bloodthirsty music press at the time. Yet, eventually, he prevailed, reinvented himself and is still there today doing his thing, while also becoming hugely respected by some very famous later bands such as Nine Inch Nails. I think he had the last laugh. I respect him enormously.
Yep, think he got the electronic nerd who wasnt "attractive" for a time when new wave "boy bands" were coming out. But his music has stood test of time big time and hugely influential.
And as you said, absolute gentleman.
He even gave me permission recently to do this, "Vans" for charity. 👍

I never tire of this song. New Wave Hall of Fame for me.
"Are friends electric?" was another great synth anthem from Numan
@François Fair enough.
There is nothing else that can be said but it’s a true classic. Those synths just cut right through you. I love his deadpan style too, very serious.
Gary Numan and Tubeway Army are still very much underrated. They influenced so many artists starting in the 80s up until today. And after the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame recently inducted Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode Numan should be the next one to be inducted as an electronic pioneer.
There weren’t many artists who could get away with an instrumental chorus but Gary Numan made his so epic that they were still brilliant. Nothing to sing along to, just enjoy the power of the synths.
100% dirty and ahead of the pack. And still going strong now…🔥 We were so spoilt in the UK from 1980-83.
AND late 70's!!
My great Father r.i.p. and i watched Gary Numan in concert 35years ago and he still is a good man and musician.What a style!!
Gary Numan is the Godfather of synth! Nothing more, nothing less! 'The Pleasure Principle' (which this track was taken from) is one of my all time favourite albums. There's not one duff track on that album, they're all phenomenon imo.
M.E. Is a fantastic track. Used by Basement Jaxx in ‘Where’s your head at’
Have you tried Kraftwerk? They kickstarted this genre in the early 70's and inspired many bands. Try Das Model fron 1978 as a starter. But a couple of my favourites are autobahn from 1974 and Computerworld
There's a video on YT where Numan was recently interviewed and he talks about the first time he ever saw/heard a Mini Moog. It happened purely by chance, and because of that chance encounter, he helped define a new genre of music that lives on 40 years later. What a legend.
One of the pioneers of electronic music and synth pop. This was probably the breakthrough song for the whole genre. It became a huge crossover, international hit. In 1979 this sounded revolutionary, even alien, to the ears of most people. After this, there was an explosion of synth pop in the UK, with acts like Human League, The Eurythmics, The Pet Shop Boys, Yazoo/Yaz etc etc.
What MTV did was give many of the European Artists who were not getting airtime in America, this helped bring forth the second European Wave. Thankfully with social media, we are not reliant upon radio stations or cable channels to play artists from a variety of styles or that play styles of music that may have a smaller audience. We are free to go back to the music we grew up with and to discover new artists inspired by the music we grew up with.
Thank you ! I love Gary Numan
One of the best synth songs you can listen to 👌
1979 no less, I have nothing but good memories of this man and his breakthrough music
I saw this in 1981on mtv at 7 years old...it sounded so futuristic....4 decades later and it still sounds like the future...a timeless masterpiece...
keep in mind Gary had barely started playing synths when he recorded this in 79...after switching from guitars....its a work of genius to make something that still retains its futuristic sound over 40 years later...truly stunning
I love this over 40 years 😊
I'm a huge Gary Numan fan. Cars was actually out in 1979
My teens on replay, club nights in Copenhagen and Berlin to Gary and the other giants of this awsome era. Now we old but the music lives on!
This song is a blessing and a curse for Numan, as he instantly was a smash when this hit the airwaves. I could not believe US radio did not play anything else but this song. I followed him for years after this came out, getting his old Tubeway Army records and all the stuff through Berserker.
He had the earth fall out from underneath him, as he drastically dropped off. Many other artists have gone through a pitfall in their career. After floundering for a bit, but, he is back with a powerful punch ~ still very, very original.
I went to go see him twice, once in 2019 and just recently, in 2022. He is absolutely incredible live - such an original talent. I am so glad he has a new audience with his new music, but, I am a serious fan of his synth and funk periods ~ just nostalgic, I guess.
Gary numan is a genius and the pioneer of the New wave music
Not only the music, the video was jaw dropping at the time and still is in a way.
"Whenever I heard this on the radio(in the 1980's);the entire music had in my opinion a space'age sound, something from the future: When seeing him,perhaps on then MTV television,Mr.Gary Numan looked conspicuous,almost atometon--an android look,and slow'motion move'when he walked out on the floor. . ."10--30--2022"
It’s strange but people see Numan as an electronic band and yet there were more instruments in his music than most bands! Thank you❤️🖤❤️🖤
Nothing else sounded like this on US radio in '79. You couldn't deny how great it was though.
Amazing to think this was from 1979... I was barely 7 years old, and in a world where parents were still playing disco, or Abba, when this came on the radio/ record, it was otherworldly!
Gary Numan is a genius. Exactly!!!
Who remembers when " M.T.V. " actually played music videos. Miss those days. ✌
Gary Numan has many amazing songs. M.E., Down in the park, Metal, Conversation, the list goes on. Your welcome
Being Boiled by the Human League, you will love it
The 1980 version from Travelogue or Holiday 80 EP. The first version from 1978 is just a shitty demo.
great synth techno-pop......still strong in 2023.......
Here you have one of the first new wave hits. He uses a bit of aesthetic of Kraftwerk (German electronic band, who influenced a lot of electronic artists).
He's seen as a pioneer of synthpop.
He recently made a track with Jean Michel Jarre (French synth pioneer).
Totally brilliant and he’s still doing excellent things today!
One of the pioneers of electronic synths and electronic pop in general …. I remember the first time I heard this it blew me away and I went out and got the album and played it for a looong time …. Mum always asked to make sure I was wearing my headphones as she was going nuts after the 100th play of it !!! So many classic tracks and you can look up his official videos via Google and every one is a hit !!
This guy was a reference for his generation and he opened a huge New wave for music !
This is still on my 80's synth playlist, so good.
What a fantastic reaction, I remember feeling the same way the first time hearing it. 👍
Numan wrote this on a bass guitar; I just saw him live a few days ago, and he still absolutely slays it on stage for being in his 60s. This song, though he didn't realize it at the time, was just such a groundbreaking moment in pop music.
His new stuff (oh btw he's been steadily releasing new music for the last 40 years) is excellent too, but much more darkwave/industrial sounding.
He's an absolute legend.
This song was phenomenal back in 1979. Today it's just awesome LOL this song had no chorus and it didn't rhyme. Gary has and still is making excellent music.
We lost count of the amount of breakthrough sounds out of the late 70s and early 80s especially
Yeah! Uk synth :)
He made synths sound like synths! The first quintessential frontman for electronic music... much maligned genius
Gary Numan's voice sounded like another of his synthesizers.
"Cars" was the biggest hit of the Summer of 1980. It blasted out of every car window, every jukebox in every bar and restaurant, and every radio station, many times per hour. It sounded completely novel and fresh.
Note that two members of Numan's band were also founding and ongoing members of Gary's favourite band, Ultravox. Although the world credits Numan with starting the New Wave electro-Punk movement, he credits Ultravox with being first and most innovative, under their initial singer-writer, John Foxx. But it was with their second singer that Ultravox became famous and rich, Midge Ure. Both leaders wrote some fantastic songs, which you ought to seek out. You have already reacted to Midge Ure's "Vienna"...
czcams.com/video/WUWoEs8CIeo/video.html "Young Savage" with John Foxx. Not as refined a voice as Midge Ure's but amazing charisma in concert.
Also: "Frozen Ones" czcams.com/video/BZ4SAmCKpFE/video.html
Two members? Billy Currie...
Best song ever!
The song is about a 'road' rage' incident that happened to Gary whilst he was in his car,2 men went nuts and tried to get inside his car,he locked his doors,he was very shaken up and so it's about how being confined and locked inside a metal tin and feeling kinda safe from the outside world.
Classic Gary Numan is great, current Gary Numan is just as great. :D
a masterpiece
never never lost any fascination
Yes...this was the 80s...the advent of electronic dance leaving disco
Gary's visual self-awareness here was perfect - his facial expressions morphed so smoothly and never missed a beat. I reckon you could take a freeze frame of any part of this performance and use it as a publicity shot. Incredible.
This was my favourite song for ages! I bought the single (which came out in 1979) and was at number one in the UK charts at the end of the year and it was the official first number one of the eighties. I played this over and over and over until it was almost worn out! (I still have that 45!) Well, I was young... but I sometimes still do it. This is Numan at his finest.
In the late '70s synthesizers were insainly expensive.
With the amount of synthesisers io stage, you could have almost bought a small house.
"Cars" practially jump started the New Wave movement.
Gary is a bit of a character off stage. Very creative, he is always involved with some project. He is a prominent stunt pilot in the U.K. I think he flies a restored P-51 Mustang fighter. Very interesting guy he is.
While I agree that Gary Numan's music is amazing back then and today; I am amazed at how many remixes, mashups, and mixes/vs of a song we can find on CZcams. Who knew how good two different songs by two different artists could sound, or how good a remixed, cover, etc, of a song could sound. I think it all shows respect and love for the original artists,and reaction videos help introduce new people to these artists from all those years ago.
GEN X. We have LIVED!
Super cool, creative and imaginative song. Coal Chamber has a great cover of this.
You would definitely like 'Films' from The Pleasure Principle 1979.
I believe it was Billy Curry (from Ultravox) on the main synth....
He has another great song called Down in the Park
It’s a timeless masterpiece. Always love to listen to it. Glad to see you enjoyed it too. ‘Down in the park’ (maybe the live version?) should be your next one to continue the G Numan discovery journey
Must admit, I loved watching you love this. I bought “Bombers” in 1978. “Cars” came a year later. He was so ahead of his time, and he is STILL producing amazing music to this day. Check out his latest #2 album “Intruder” ❤️❤️❤️
Numan is the most underated musician of the last 40 plus years. Try are friends electric or down in the park or numerous others. He us still releasing albums today and maybe my name us ruin from a few years ago would be another good track to review
It was 1979 not 1980. Befiore that in 1978 he had a huge hit with"Are Friends Electric?". It was number 1 in Australa- I am still huge into Gary- check out his more recent music!
Simple sounds, but genius musical construction. Very cool song. Blew the doors wide open for synth pop.
Legend
gorgeous song from an icon in music!
Number one in lot county great live show get music and video
Gary numan is still knocking songs out and you should definitely listen to my name is ruin, it's a absolute belter and also has his 12yr old daughter singing on it
Good review! This song was so different. It was the time of robot singers.
One of his polymoogs, the 280a was up for sale in abc music in Addlestone, Surrey back in 1991.
Because I had bought an expensive synthesiser the year before, I stupidly didn't buy a piece of music history.
I found a 12" picture disc of down in the park which I also should have bought.
Regrets
I’ve always loved this song
There is also a freaking great cover by Fear Factory, ft. Gary Numan!
Agree bro Gary Numan is genious!
After all these decades, this is still an electronic masterpiece.
One of the first songs in the early 80's that helped kick off the synth decade. And it is a good song.
This song -- the sound -- penetrates deeply and the video was on heavy rotation back during the #latchkeynation days ...
No one mentions the outro: it’s all about the harmonistic phaser synth that make it goosebump inducing.
First record I bought. Absolutely astonishing.
Ground breaking.👌
Hey Derrick, I'm confident you'll appreciate another banger from Gary called ..Just What I Needed
.. peace
One of the greatest synth-hits ever!
Eargasmic! Spot on, dude.
🔥🔥🔥✨🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🎶🎶🎶🎶😎
Gary Numan doing this song with Nine Inch Nails is absolute 🔥
Love!!!😍
If you haven't reacted to "Are friends electric ?" then you must do so.
He has.
genius
Got to say you and that young accountancy student (who should be a music journalist) are my favourite reactors. I can tell the ones who are just going through the motions from those who are genuinely enthusiastic about art. God bless you brother.
Yay! And now for Gary's other 1979 nr 1 single: Are "Friends" Electric?
A pioneer!!!
The father of New Wave!!!.... I was 11 years old the first time I heard this song...And that was 42 years ago!!!
Gotta check out the track called Films and Down in the Park by Gary Numan.
Hi this song I heard at age 9 Was about to take my bath I used to listen to my radio here in Toronto called CFTR and also Chum FM. Stepped in my Bathroom suddenly heard this weird intro stud still till the song was through. After that I search the radio to hear that song and to find the name and who sang the song. I would hit miss the song just hear the piece. Or the name cars. I'm thinking they are men dressed in tires at 9 years old the sound was out of this world to me. I knew the band called cars and though they sang it. What I did was go to now obsolete one of our Canadian record shop called Sam The Record man tried to explain the son and first record played was it. age10 was the first record and album I bought in my life. I loved the Drummer in the band. Cedric Sharpley R.I.P 2013 Cancer. I have all the best covers and Remixes from Cars. This song was written in 5 minutes. It about road rage. He was driving and accidently cut a car off. The driver chased him down He locked his doors and the driver tried doors to beat him and took off to get away where he drove on the sidewalk with people jumping out of the way until he got away. That's the meaning of the song. I got a couple picz of my car on my website www.smileyshottpicz.ca show some love to guestbook so I know you've blessed my site. Thanks Salot Smiley.
I know you have a thing for this era, have you ever done a reaction to a band called Yazoo? Couple of great tracks by them are "Don't Go" and "Only You", "Only You" is imo one of the best songs of the decade.
You nailed it!!
LOVE!
It's interesting that Cars is one of the pioneering synth-driven songs ever and that Gary Numan is one of the synthesizer legends in music. His band, Tubeway Army, was a punk band, and they were signed to record a punk album by their record label. Numan did not know anything about synthesizers until he came across a Moog during his debut album's recording sessions. He states that synthesizers were basically something with dials on it to him. He was a guitarist in a punk band. Numan then states that he became obsessed with electronic music overnight once he discovered the Moog. Thus, synths were now employed into their musical sound. From punk rock, it went to synth-pop. When his record label heard the finished recordings of their album, they were angry and it is said that one member of the label was so upset about the sound, he wanted to fight Numan. Interesting how serendipity works in life. If Numan did not discover the Moog, who knows? The world may never have been introduced to Gary Numan and Tubeway Army. One thing is certain, the Cars we know of today wouldn't be the Cars that we know of today.
