I've never seen that before John awesome.
I did absolutely love the fear factory/Gary Numan collaboration in the 90's.

Wow! That's amazing. I knew that Trent Reznor was a huge fan. What a performance. Very brave of Gary to a) have a Polymoog on stage and b) start smacking it whilst he was playing. Those things are terrifyingly fragile (though sound lovely in the hands of Mr Numan).

Awesome tune and real justice done by NIN, but shame about Gary's syrup though eh? You'd think with the money he's earned he'd have considered a Rooney-esque transplant at least, instead of that ridiculous rug he insists on wearing! He's still brilliant though, remember this for my very first introduction to the brilliant Pino Palladino:

Funnily enough, this track also features David Van Day and Theresa Bazaar from the mighty Dollar!!

Numan did have a "Rooney" in 1982 - hence he had that trilby hat on the cover of I, Assassin. He goes into great detail about it in his autobiography and said when he had it the technology wasn't as good as it is now and all they did was chop off bits of the back of his head and stitch them into the front - it sounds horrific from his account. Whether he wears a wig now, I'm not sure - I just thought it was overzealous use of just for men.
