Always liked Gary's music, Ruin is a masterpiece, Persia is a masterclass, waiting for the vinyl to be delivered. Even now I'm 69 and a Floydy this is in my top 2 favourites. Glad I've lived long enough to catch it!
If Gary wanted the song Ruin to sound big and epic... he nailed it! I absolutely love it. Huge fan since ‘79. Stay awesome and humble, Gary! And huge congrats to Persia for doing such an amazing job on the song! It’s so cool. 😎
I did the VIP thing to one of his concerts, he invited us on to his tour bus, we were chatting for ages, he is such lovely man, he is refreshingly honest and down to earth. I have been a fan for years, just love him and his music. Thanks for posting this.
I'm so glad to see Gary legit happy. He's been through some rough patches in life but has always poured his soul into his art that brings so much joy to his fans. So glad he's doing well.
This is a damn good interview. You let the man talk, let him gush over his splendid little girl, very well done. My Name Is Ruin is the first thing I have heard of Gary's in far too long. I have to admit I was in a state of awe for a few minutes. I listened to it 5 times while I was on lunch. I'm still listening at least once a week even now.
I couldn't have said it better! I've been a fan of Gary's for years but when I first heard My Name Is Ruin it was like discovering him all over again. He just knocked it out of the ball park with Savage.
Why didn't anybody tell me about this guy? For decades he's been "that guy who sang Cars", and who seemed (to me) like a poor man's David Bowie. Catchy tune. Never heard anything else of his. Didn't even know he was still around. Then I heard "Ruin." Oh my God! Then I start listening to other stuff. Oh my God! Then I find out he has TWENTY TWO studio albums out. OH MY GOD! I know what I'm doing for the next 6 months.
LOL Eric, Mr Webb has been part of my tapestry of life along with other greats such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer (My #1) and many others. I did exactly the same thing with Depeche Mode in 2013........ Delta Machine Tour and more recently Global Spirit Tour in Bologna!
Been a DM fan for over 30 years, but I’m ashamed to say I’m not familiar with most of Gary’s work. That changes from now, as ‘Savage’ is an awesome album - “Ruin” and “Bed of Thorns” are epics
Eric Anderson Americans can be a bit slow and out of the loop!! Roxy Music from the 70s was never recognized here either, you’ve got to check that out... agreed, my friends don’t know either... I m bringing someone to his show tonight and all he knows is cars!! Another friend spelled his name Newman, it’s weird we didn’t get it...
Absolutely awesome. Ashamed I didn’t know he was still going. Heard Ruin for the first time tonight on the OGWT and was blown away. Best thing I’ve heard in ages. Looking forward to listening to loads more.
I've gotten to see him do the song with Persia live twice now. She is adorable and talented and watching Gary just beam with pride is a truly heartwarming thing.
So awesome. As a father it is so amazing when you can do something with your kids that includes them in your profession or passion (in this case both). Would loved to have seen her on stage in Chicago. Thrilled that my son came to the show with me :) Huge fan since 1980!
He was always very underrated by the music press back in the day. He's probably, only now, receiving the recognition he deserves. He has always been very humble and grateful which is so rare in the music industry. I only met him once but can say he comes across as being a very decent sort of chap. Good luck to him.
Your a nice guy Gary - whenever I hear you being interviewed you come across naturally with zero ego. I’m into guitars mainly but your music is an exception - fantastic stuff. Well done.
When I heard Ruin, I was just imagining how low that sub-bass would be set at for his tour. Imagine that crashing against your chest in an academy type venue. wow.
He says he's not good at articulating … but he's actually nailing it with every proud look. The interviewer looks a bit like the prime minister of Belgium (Louis Michel)… that would be cool.
Persia's humble personality isn't a surprise when you look at Gary's own personality. Many young performers her age have already developed a dreadful ego and you wonder with what morals their parents taught them.
Her face does look like a 20 year old girl in that video. The first time I watched it without paying much attention I thought it was a 19 or 20 year old woman. Her head is even a little disproportionate to her body.
She is weird looking. She is not pretty, but at least she is not ugly like her mom. They are just trying to make money out of her to feed her mom’s ridiculous plastic surgery. She will not make it big, as she does not have enough talent.
Please tell me that it not an Illuminati pin on Persia's upper left pocket. Why and what is that pin? it could be a pin from her Dad's earlier albums.. maybe?
Gary's new album " Savage :" Songs from a broken world " is about a post apocalyptic world....a wasteland by man made global warming. Gary goes so far to pen an op-ed just ripping into Trump for backing out of the Paris Agreement. What leads me to complete confusion is, How can someone that burns thousands and thousands of gallons of fuel to tour around the world....uses an incredible amounts of energy to heat and cool his enormous mansion...rents motor homes to ferry his family around for vacations....stand and preach to his fans about man made global warming...fans that probably use only a fraction of energy he does. So two things here...either Gary is naive about all this global warming stuff...or he is just a flat out hypocrite that uses propaganda to make money...ya know...Like Al Gore. Which is it Gary ? ***Just remember folks, " Truth is not hate "
Don't get me wrong, I love Gary Numan - have seen him in concert since he started, way back when, but I do wish he'd get a better wig. His "hair" looks dreadful in this interview
That is so awesome 👍😊 hes close to his family, thats an extremely precious thing that a lot of people dont get. We are close in my family too and i am grateful 🥲
If everyone had a father like Gary, this world would be such a kinder place.💛

Always loved Gary Numan....I can't express how delighted I am that his daughter performs with him!
I just discovered My Name Is Ruin and it's such an epic track. Even better with Persia'a vocals.
She really adds something special to that track, for sure.
Seems like the sweetest man ever. Big GN fan but with this beautiful album and his love for his daughter, I’m loving this way more now❤️
He really is a nice guy.
I'm so glad to see Gary legit happy. He's been through some rough patches in life but has always poured his soul into his art that brings so much joy to his fans. So glad he's doing well.
She’s so gorgeous too! Aw, he’s so proud! Lovely
Now, this is a truly talented genuine artist.

Thank you so much. Appreciated!
The song had the same reaction for me. I saw it last night on The Old Grey Whistle Test (BBC TV Special). It stole the show for me.

Eric Anderson haha i had the same experience only this month! I’m so hooked now

I love Splinter. And Jagged.

Brilliant song and absolutely fantastic performance by Persia.
Agreed! She's phenomenal!
Persia is an Angel ! Gary deserves the good fortune to have her . From Good Comes Good . At least this time .Just Wonderful !!!
I. Love. His. Music, for. A. Long. Time, since. I. Was a. Kid
So awesome. As a father it is so amazing when you can do something with your kids that includes them in your profession or passion (in this case both). Would loved to have seen her on stage in Chicago. Thrilled that my son came to the show with me :) Huge fan since 1980!
Awesome again Gary & Persia, what an experience. Great Albums ...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jono - Glasgow - Scotland ☠️🎧🎸

You're awesome Gary, can't wait to see you this year,,soooooo excited :-)
PHIL, wonderful interview, thank you for being a gracious host to an iconic artist! 🌹
Thank you Barry! It was a pleasure to do this interview. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@BoysOnFilm You’re welcome.. I’ve been a fan of his since 1979. You should be well proud!
When I heard Ruin, I was just imagining how low that sub-bass would be set at for his tour. Imagine that crashing against your chest in an academy type venue. wow.
Only eleven years old? I can hardly wait to see how good she will get. You both should release an album some day...
Ruin is amazing, your daughter really compliments your voice!
He says he's not good at articulating … but he's actually nailing it with every proud look.
The interviewer looks a bit like the prime minister of Belgium (Louis Michel)… that would be cool.
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely interview I love gorgeous Gary so so much and persia his daughter so beautiful and sweet person
Thank you Alison. Glad you enjoyed the interview.
@@BoysOnFilm you are welcome thanks so much for replying stay safe x
If she wanted to be like Gary that's cool. Very cool video and Congratulations Newman on another platform.
Great interview and insight into the song, video and the two Numans!!
Thank you!
Cinematic sound indeed ⚡
Great interview Phil 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Ian. Make sure you subscribe as there are more interview videos with Gary to come!
Gary mentioned "The epicness" :-)
However, THIS is epic!
Persia's humble personality isn't a surprise when you look at Gary's own personality. Many young performers her age have already developed a dreadful ego and you wonder with what morals their parents taught them.
Thanks for this Phil. Do you think people can see he is an ordinary bloke?
You're welcome Dave. I think people will see how down to earth he is.
He should've talked about what it was like working with Chris Corner, would've loved to hear it
she's 11!! wow that's brave to go on stage at 11
For me too!

I thought that line went "ill show you NOTHING but sorrow and darkness "
So cool that he has possible replacements for him.
nice
I thought that was a grown woman! She's beautiful and has a pretty name.
Shannon Werlitz-Vandiver haha a grown woman? Really?😅
@@morningcoffeecat2271 she meant from the voice, not by looking at her
Her face does look like a 20 year old girl in that video. The first time I watched it without paying much attention I thought it was a 19 or 20 year old woman. Her head is even a little disproportionate to her body.

@@miranda-q6w fkin troll
Don't worry about the drone..........Gary's a kick ass pilot of real planes so I'm sure he's got it handled.
He should be proud, she really works well in the video. She shows all the wannabees on TV talent shows look like the Muppets that they are.
Must of been an emotional thing. To have had your daughter on stage.
Persia looks so much like her dad.
Persia is an apple that didn't fall far from that particular tree.
Please tell me that it not an Illuminati pin on Persia's upper left pocket. Why and what is that pin? it could be a pin from her Dad's earlier albums.. maybe?
Good points Mora... I agree with you
Compare Gary to the Gallaghers. Two extremes. The Great and Humble and the wankers from Manchester
Gary's new album " Savage :" Songs from a broken world " is about a post apocalyptic world....a wasteland by man made global warming. Gary goes so far to pen an op-ed just ripping into Trump for backing out of the Paris Agreement. What leads me to complete confusion is, How can someone that burns thousands and thousands of gallons of fuel to tour around the world....uses an incredible amounts of energy to heat and cool his enormous mansion...rents motor homes to ferry his family around for vacations....stand and preach to his fans about man made global warming...fans that probably use only a fraction of energy he does. So two things here...either Gary is naive about all this global warming stuff...or he is just a flat out hypocrite that uses propaganda to make money...ya know...Like Al Gore.
Which is it Gary ?
***Just remember folks, " Truth is not hate "
Can we talk about the two Crows the crashed onto his Head, anyone????
And. I'm. 53 going. On. 54. Soon
whats that on your head gary?
Don't get me wrong, I love Gary Numan - have seen him in concert since he started, way back when, but I do wish he'd get a better wig. His "hair" looks dreadful in this interview
Tynka Bell Ikr!?? 😂
Tynka Bell its a wig? I thought it was just unwashed and dyed 0_0
Liam Cahill lol! No definitely a wig. He started losing his hair when relatively young, so been wearing these for quite some time
@@tynkabell9972 No , he had a hair transplant. Not that it matters....
"I bought a drone" The lifestyles of the rich and famous.
I don't care what anyone says, his wig is dazzling.
It's not a wig...
@@annhollowell5352 Well then what the hell is that thing?
@@SullenMorbius He had a hair transplant
@@annhollowell5352 sorry pal, that's what's called a weave
@@SullenMorbius It's a shame you haven't anything more constructive to say , other than to comment on his hair.
I love Gary, no question, but man, unless you want people to know that's a wig, you could at least make it look a bit more realistic mate.
It's not a wig...
Fascinating comment. So interesting and relevant.
Thought I was going to watch a music interview.it's a "father of the year interview". Shit.
His wig is dreadful
Rude.
@@BoysOnFilm Haha
That is so awesome 👍😊 hes close to his family, thats an extremely precious thing that a lot of people dont get. We are close in my family too and i am grateful 🥲
