One of Gary Numan's big influences was the band Ultravox...especially their lead singer John Foxx. Listen to the album 'Systems Of Romance' and compare it to Numan's 'Replicas', and you'll see what I mean. Foxx left Ultravox in 1979 going solo. Check out his 1980 debut album Metamatic.
It's rumored that 'John The God' is a referrence to John Foxx.
In the John Foxx song Miles Away he states - "And There's a new man at the egde of me", which is said to be about Gary Numan.
