How did you feel the first time you heard Gary's music : It blew me away, the first song (other than the obvious Cars and Are Friends Electric 'cause I'd heard them in the background of other places but never really jumped out to me) was Rip and thought it sounded outstanding so then went and bought Exposure and the rest is history

If you could change one thing in the world. what would it be : Musically I would have to say more musicians in the genre of Numan that are actually good.

How many times have you seen Gary live : 4

Do you have a Gary Numan related tattoo : No but have been looking at various different designs with a view to getting one done

Does Garys disregard for fans thoughts on God offend you : Not particular since I'm not a believer in any sort of religion, like Rico said in Float "it's there to divide us" and I couldn't agree more. I'm all for people having their own beliefs if it makes them feel better/secure or more comfortable in life but until God comes down from "heaven" and slaps me in the face and says "I am God, do you believe in me know" then I'll start believing but until then I don't believe in any sort of following.

How can we get the word out about Gary : More promotion with regards to interviews (magazines, papers, TV etc) but I find the best way is through word of mouth and it should be played in more clubs 'cause anytim I request it at a club they never have it.

If Gary's next album were in a country-and-western style, would you buy it : I reckon I would because I'm quite partial to a bit of C&W so it could be interesting.

Do you have a least favourite Gary Numan album : Not really, some days I'll listen to some albums more than others but depeneds what mood I am in

Do you still buy any of your music on vinyl : Sometimes, I like to buy picture discs and stuff

What track do you most wish Gary had released as a single : Blind from Jagged 'cause it's an amazing track and anyone I've let hear it, whether their Numan fans or not have liked it.

Could Gary benefit from using a producer that respected and understood his style : I think anyone or any band would benefit from such a producer that understood your style and respected it enough to give you the freedom you need to get the tracks to their full potential

Why are we all such fanatical fans : Because Gary Numan is an complete legend, always has been and always will. The fact that he's such a down to earth guy towards his fans and really appreciates his fans just encourages us to stick by him and his music.

Are you a musician : Yes, I play guitar in a band called Desolation Yes! (check us out at www.myspace.com/desolationyes) electro/rock

When is Gary going to stop rehashing Cars and getting back to what he's good at : I have to admit I do like some of the rehashes of Cars and other tracks too, it just shows the ability and how good he is to be able to mix a track som many times and still make it sound good 'cause their are some rerally bad mixes of great tracks from other bands out there that are terrible

If Gary's next album were in a country-and-western style, would you buy it : Yes, if only to hear it. Anything's better than those Prince covers he did. Anything. Seriously.

Do you have a least favourite Gary Numan album : Yes. See above. Machine & Soul made me want to cry for Gary...how did he let that happen?

Do you still buy any of your music on vinyl : No, I'm too young for vinyl!

What track do you most wish Gary had released as a single : Right now, in regards to Jagged, I wish he'd released Fold.

Could Gary benefit from using a producer that respected and understood his style : Yes; his production has varied from overdone in Pure (that piano sounds awful and would be much better as just a piano), to just not quite good enough in Jagged; everything sounds a bit muffled.

Why are we all such fanatical fans : Why is anyone a fan of anyone? We just love the music.

Are you a musician : Yes; I play synths and sing (a bit).

When is Gary going to stop rehashing Cars and getting back to what he's good at : God knows; I noticed he's mutilated it live; I love what he's done with AFE? though.

Who would you like to see Numan do a duet with : Trent Reznor.

Does Garys disregard for fans thoughts on God offend you : No.

Could Gary benefit from using a producer that respected and understood his style : Yes.

Why are we all such fanatical fans : In my opinions, you either love Gary or you hate him. Thats why.

Are you a musician : Yes.

Your Name : Paula504

Your Age : 41

How old were you when you became a fan : 13

Where were you when you first heard Gary's music : Watching telly.

Have you ever tried to look like Gary : No. Any such attempt on my part would be doomed to laughable failure.

What is your favourite Numan album : Jagged. But some days it might be Telekon, or Pure, or...

What is your favourite Numan song : Tough question... today, it's Crazier.

Apart from Numan what is your favourite group/artist : Alice Cooper.

What is the worst aspect of being a Numan fan : The boring jokey comments about plane crashes still persist. Yawn.

How many other Numan fans do you know (offline) : 0. All my friends are taste-free.

What has been your greatest achievement in life : Having had 7 different careers and still making my CV look perfectly reasonable when really it's utterly preposterous.

What has been your greatest failure in life : I'm an absolutely rubbish girlfriend, as I have been repeatedly informed.

What is your favourite TV Program : 24

How did you feel the first time you heard Gary's music : Transfixed. I remember really, really listening to it as I had never listened to anything before.

If you could change one thing in the world. what would it be : I would replace all public transport systems with wild white knuckle rides. Heh. Oooh - and can I make cats immortal too?

How many times have you seen Gary live : 30ish

Do you have a Gary Numan related tattoo : Nope.

Does Garys disregard for fans thoughts on God offend you : Absolutely not. If I wrote songs I'd write them about whatever I wanted. I don't think it's anything to do with 'disregard'.

How can we get the word out about Gary : Er, persuade him to go on celeb Big Brother...?! Not!

If Gary's next album were in a country-and-western style, would you buy it : Definitely! I'd love it! Oh please, Gary doing alternative country... touring with Billy Bob Thornton as support. Yesssssss!

Do you have a least favourite Gary Numan album : No. Even the crappest album has a place in my heart for the vestigial hint of greater things still to come.

Do you still buy any of your music on vinyl : No, but only because I can't get a replacement stylus.

What track do you most wish Gary had released as a single : Hmmm... maybe Stories. Or Remind Me To Smile.

Could Gary benefit from using a producer that respected and understood his style : Co-producing with Ade Fenton was clearly an excellent decision.

Why are we all such fanatical fans : Actually I think the 'fanatical' role - or label - was foisted on us by the sheer irrationality and disproportionate vileness of those who didn't share our tastes. For me, I just always loved the music, and couldn't really comprehend why some of the critics were so foul, or why so many ordinary people required me to defend my taste in music as if they found it some kind of a threat. And I DID defend it, but to me that makes me the reasonable one, not the fanatic. I never liked jazz, but I don't go around telling jazz fans it's all rubbish, or hoping jazz music would stop being made, and then labelling jazz fans fanatical weirdos for taking no notice of me and liking it anyway. Fanatics normally attempt to force others to adopt their values. That description fits the critics better than us fans. If someone attacks something you like, and without proper cause, you will naturally defend it. And if they attack harder, you will defend harder. It's just ego preservation really. And then you get labelled 'fanatical', when you never caused the stupid situation in the first place!

Are you a musician : Yes. I play the piano a bit.

When is Gary going to stop rehashing Cars and getting back to what he's good at : Gary doesn't 'rehash' anything, imho. And he seems to be doing very nicely at the moment.

Who would you like to see Numan do a duet with : Alice Cooper! Now that would be a stage show...

Your Name : ATR

Your Age : Never you mind

How old were you when you became a fan : 11

Where were you when you first heard Gary's music : In the house watching TOTP.

Have you ever tried to look like Gary : Errr....yes I have. In 1988 (I think)

What is your favourite Numan album : Probably 'Dance'. He's never done anything else that could even be remotely classed as experimental.

What is your favourite Numan song : Too many to pick from.

Apart from Numan what is your favourite group/artist : Nine Inch Nails, Alec Empire, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, The Icarus Line, Brakes, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Butthole Surfers, David Bowie, The Cooper Temple Clause, Laibach, Guided By Voices, Interpol, Joy Division, Pere Ubu, Queen Adreena, Slowdive.

What is the worst aspect of being a Numan fan : Putting up with Numan's blatant laziness is one thing. 'Jagged' is a very average collection of songs considering it's taken 6 years to get it recorded. His laziness extends to his live shows too - there's been very few surprises in the set-list since about 1996. The fact that he attacks groups of fans who don't lick the crease of every aspect of his recent activities is a bit sad too.

How many other Numan fans do you know (offline) : 1

What has been your greatest achievement in life : Probably my most recent one. I left a decently-paid job to go to college and I'm off to Uni in September. If I manage to achieve my goal of emigrating after Uni then that will be my greatest achievement.

What has been your greatest failure in life : Before college and Uni I just seemed to let life pass me by.

What is your favourite TV Program : Doctor Who, Smallville, Grumpy Old Men. I don't actually watch much TV.

How did you feel the first time you heard Gary's music : I watched him on TOTP doing 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and I thought it was fucking painful to be honest! When 'Cars' broke I really began to appreciate his stuff.

If you could change one thing in the world. what would it be : Where I live. I want to live in Canada.

How many times have you seen Gary live : 10

Do you have a Gary Numan related tattoo : No.

Does Garys disregard for fans thoughts on God offend you : No. He's bleated on about this for way too long though.

How can we get the word out about Gary : An irrelevant point nowawdays.

If Gary's next album were in a country-and-western style, would you buy it : No. I still haven't bought 'Jagged' - that's bad enough.

Do you have a least favourite Gary Numan album : Hmmm...either 'Outland', Machine + Soul' or 'Jagged'.

Do you still buy any of your music on vinyl : No and, apart from DJ's, I can't understand why anyone would want to.

What track do you most wish Gary had released as a single : 'Metal', 'Jo The Waiter' or 'Remind Me To Smile'.

Could Gary benefit from using a producer that respected and understood his style : The problem isn't with Numan's choice of producer, it's with him. Some of the stuff Ade Fenton has contributed to 'Jagged' is top-class, it's Numan's weak, lazy, repetitive and unimaginative songwriting that lets 'Jagged' down.

Why are we all such fanatical fans : Depends what you mean by 'fanatical'. If that means liking everything he does then you're asking the wrong person.

Are you a musician : No.

When is Gary going to stop rehashing Cars and getting back to what he's good at : Possibly another irrelevant point nowawdays.

Who would you like to see Numan do a duet with : Anyone, as long as, by some strange quirk of fate, they brought out the creativity in Gary Numan. Maybe hoping for a bit too much though!
