Out of all the bands covering Gary Numan of late (Dead Weather’s cut of “Are Friends Electric?” etc.), Numan told Music Radar recently that Nine Inch Nails’ version of “Metal” is among his favorites.

Drowned In Sound’s Sean Adams posted a nice review of NIN’s Wednesday night show at London’s O2 Arena, where Reznor brought Numan up on stage to take the lead vocals for “Metal” and “Cars.” Check out a good quality video of the latter performance below:
