The Experiment (Of Love)
From his childhood punk act as Johnny Silver to his touring persona as John the
Bomb, younger brother John Webb has remained an integral part of Gary Numan's
career from the very earliest beginnings. To the public, he is an enigma. To
Numanoids worldwide, he evokes speculation and rumor. See him for the first time
as the pilot of his own career in this closeup on his first solo single under the Numa
label that features vocals by Karen Taylor.
Johnny Silver: You're a Lucky Man
Although primarily a novelty act, John cut his teeth on the music scene whilst
dressed in leather and safety pins and performing his own original punk composition,
"Lucky." Read a facsimile ofthe In the City article that featured this spikey cupid for
the first time, and find out what Gary thought about it all.
