6581 - The Last Ninja 2 - Back in Time Live Stockholm 2008 (C64)

[@toddybody]

I´m 43 and listen often to those remaks.......then ...i close my eyes.......my childhood is so awesome still there

[@jawn892]

+toddybody Hi! You should check out the Last Ninja album currently on kickstarter :-D

[@harihegen]

too, its great!

[@ViktorVrska]

I'm 43 too and my childhood is so still there! ;) Commodore 64 and old good times...

[@theP0RN0STUNTMAN]

I am also 43 and i feel with you

[@AndreasWallstrom]

I'm 46 and I'm still deeply in love with the sound of the Commodore 64!

[@brucelombardo]

I never had LN2, but I loved LN1. Decades later, I had the chance to listen to the entire trilogy's OST. What a collection of bangers. In 2024, this live show still has a ton of great fight and energy in it. Bravo!

[@ZroDfects]

Nice job to all of you, nice choice of song too, would have to be my most favourite C64 track in the world, Although I am mostly an Amiga fan I love all things Commodore, something people of today will never live through like us, the 80's was the best era and rips my heart to knowing it will never come past again and unlike games today where you play a few times and forget about and go play the next where as memories of Commodore still strong today.... Only Commodore Makes It Possible...

[@frednka]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the song of my life. I remember all days with Last Ninja 2!!!!

[@RTSnip]

Guys, you are the masters of the Universe!! :) RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT You ROCK, AND C64 and LN2 FOREVER!!!!!

[@StRoRo]

In my 9 year old imagination when I was playing this, this is how I heard the music. If this was on a modern game, it would be hailed as one of the greatest game theme tunes ever.

[@Nebrox]

+StRoRo Exactly.

[@Savior1024]

+StRoRo It still is.

[@richardthompson8739]

Think the difference is nowadays osts are more like movie sountracks the dont have the personality of theses tracks .

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Back in those days, you had to come up with a strong melody as you 'only' had the three channels and sythesised sounds. We have a great legacy to enjoy!

[@JodyBruchon]

Matt Gray went back and remade a lot of Last Ninja 2 tunes and they're insanely awesome; you should check it out: soundcloud.com/mattgrayc64/matt-gray-last-ninja-2-central-park-in-game-new-preview

[@toddybody]

absolutely awesome......OUTSTANDING!!!! my complete childhood memories in six minutes and six seconds Thx for upload

[@mortensuperlite]

Goosebumps december 2019

[@viktorrez5395]

Ez az egyik legállatabb c64 feldolgozás, amit valaha is hallottam!!!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

That's the real spirit of C64 music! Thanks man.

[@swearm]

Episkt! Fick avsluta årtiondet med detta, fantastiskt. #Rockon #c64

[@yalahusi]

Hey man!!! Thats.... GREAT :D brings back old memories from my childhood. I was about 12 years old when I was playin this game through long weeks.... thanks from Hungary guys :D

[@holgermuller5148]

C64 Magic Time!

[@ivannasha5556]

C64 was the best thing to ever enter into the mainstream in a timely fashion.

[@giampa74]

Assolutamente meravigliosa!!! Grandissimi!!! Complimenti

[@naturelifestyle7287]

What a fantastic contribution! Thank you for bringing up all those wonderful memories into my mind! Thanks Andreas for sharing!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

My pleasure, man!

[@zooropaforever]

I've always thought that LN2 music was so fantastic and deserved a "live" version with real drums, keyboards, bass and guitars... You proved me I was right! Thank for all you did!

[@samuelsamenstrang6069]

eike, i remember making music with you about 25 years ago. "schlafenszeit". lol. you are great.

[@mark12358]

Nice!! Liked it very much. Thanks for sharing your passion!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Share and enjoy!

[@JacobKampLund]

Back in the days, I'd wake up in the morning, turn on the C64, just to load and listen to the soundtrack from Last Ninja 2 - and you're doing a great job of replaying those tracks. Thank you!

[@grogsrevenge]

10 years on and this is still magic. That's not to say there hasn't been any other good LN2 tunes since then - far from it - but this is something else. The drumming is beautiful, and that moment at 0:38 (when the camera pans to the bass) gets me every time (I love the LN2 bassline). Fantastic. Faintly remember being disappointed that the break wasn't done properly, but now I'm just happy that you kept the momentum going. Wish I was there.

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Many, many thanks for this!

[@rallefreifahrt]

I was 17 when we cracked the game. Amazing memories!

[@eliaspoulogiannis]

Man oh man I come back here every couple of weeks, I just can't stop listening to this.

[@mark12358]

Absolute awesome and captivating! Often I came back here to hear it again...and again :) thanks!

[@sebastianmalmsteen]

You guys are great. Keep making awesome renditions of awesome music!

[@Kwon2222]

Awesome! Fantastic!! Brings back lot of memories.

[@OtaKing77077]

This is absolutely bloody fantastic. I just heard it on Slay Radio and had a look on KZbin. Kickass drums and METAL combine with SID chip to insane results. And that is one hell of a tasty solo, too. If you're ever playing in the UK somewhere, let me know! I would pay to see this.

[@onurberber]

Perfect sound. Especially drums. Thumbs up. Thanks for playing it like it was meant to be. +++

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thanks Onur!

[@Erikirs]

I agree. Every instrument is handled pretty much perfectly, but the drums is over the top man :) Thanks for making this guys :)

[@AndreasWallstrom]

That is very kind of you good Sir!

[@troyberber2324]

2 years since I posted my comment and still the best performance. Thank you guys!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Cheers Troy and thank you!

[@Dataspelsbranschen]

Amazing stuff! This evening in 2008 was pure magic, remember your wonderful time as an adolescence when you were playing cool C64 games and digging the music!

[@JohnDoe-yl4gd]

Last Ninja Forever. Great performance guys! 👍

[@freddievaneyk3071]

Gave me the chills man , great soundtrack , will never forget

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Cheers Freddie!

[@onasc]

Absolut Great. I always play your Video if I need to get back in goog motion ang get a great feeling like yesterday's. THX for that great Song!

[@eliaspoulogiannis]

Jesus every time I hear this it sounds amazing!

[@stefanberghuis8405]

I have commented on this vid earlier, but today I stumbled on it again and WOW!!! If I owned a time machine I would go back to this moment and travel to Stockholm. The guitar solo by Eike Steffen from 3:06 onwards accompanied by the superb drum rhythms of Andreas... just EPIC!!!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thanks so much Stefan! :)

[@getoffthestageyoufatf1870]

OMG - You guys nailed it like a crucifixion! :D

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Evil comment - I like it!

[@tekinbeyaz]

I love this song! I cannot believe this sound belongs to 90s! I am 43 by the way and played and loved Last Ninja 2 when I was a child, still remember those good old days!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

From all of us to you, thanks! :) I will be doing a studio recording of this track later this year. It sure deserves it! And you're absolutely right. Only Commodore makes it possible!

[@TamasKalman]

this song was born to be remade on electric guitars. great job, awesome remake. i miss more chirping sid arpeggios tho =)

[@eliaspoulogiannis]

10 years in this cover version is slowly becoming every bit as nostalgic as the original version. Many thanks Andreas

[@AndreasWallstrom]

That's very kind of you Elias, thanks!

[@GordonBraicks]

Ah man, this is great, I feel a kid again cause this my favourite c64 tune!

[@andrewrumayar3103]

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Cheers Andrew!

[@1976turkish]

Brings back great memories, magnificent. Thanks for the upload

[@Vespero1317]

Ohhhh yes ! This is awesome ! Thank you for the music !

[@huguini2893]

What a great Performance, and it's really pleasing to hear in my Opinion one of the Best Tunes ever created for a Video Game in a live Version. Just Priceless¡¡¡¡¡

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Cheers dude!

[@Spaceinfaders]

Wow great piece of music and very energetic! Nicely played!

[@jimreaper]

AWESOME!!! Many kudos to you all, that's a level of respect for a great game that i've never seen before! Great band, i'd watch ya!

[@biagiogrimaldi8172]

You are the top !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm crying listening this awesome song!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Awesome, thanks Biagio!

[@minks36]

i hope my neighbours love this as much as i do because every time i play this video i play it LOOOOOUUUUDDDD!!!! :))))

[@drjulesd]

Ever since i first played this game as a teen, i loved this tune and wished someone would play it "proper"! lol. But you guys did an extremely good job at this, well done.

[@schizo667]

YOU ROCK, GUYS!!! Love this performance just as much I love the C64!!!

[@Armalyte78]

Man, that is just epic.. Wish I could be there.. Greetings from Holland!! You guys rock!!!

[@byfxgaming]

this is my 3rd day since i have found this link and just hitting replay and replay again God knows how many time , now i don't count Im44 but still feel like 16 'cause C64 times This Band is amazing, rock is in they vein! long life!!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thanks a lot Byfx Gaming!

[@PaymaanJ]

It feels as good as playing the game itself! Nice work!

[@jonas5318]

Fantastici!!! Un meraviglioso omaggio a un meraviglioso gioco!! Grandi!! Ho sognato per anni una reinterpretazione delle musiche di Matt Gray con strumenti musicali reali... Orchestra o Rock band è sufficiente suonare ancora quelle musiche bellissime, che non sono musiche da videogioco!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Grazie Gionata!

[@valoisa]

This is my favorite live performance ever. It's like Motörhead song played by nerds. I'm 45 and have couple of C64's and this was always one of my favorite songs back in the 80's when I was a kid.

[@gautelundal9940]

OMG! i can't imagine how many fans did this game have !? this is glorious!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Loads I'd say! :)

[@adamodimattia]

Really there should be an album! Think that when I'd found it piece I listened to it at least 15 times in a row! WIsh you all the luck you need for going on with your projects.

[@bbenjoe]

You guys did an awesome job! Thx for posting!

[@guvenguven7038]

Nice cover Guys, thank you...

[@therealbatman583]

Mega Cool performance......teleported me back in time :)

[@AndreasWallstrom]

It's a great feeling, isn't it?

[@therealbatman583]

Sure is Mr. Andreas.

[@AndreasWallstrom]

It was the best audience! Being a metal fan, I especially dig the headbanging and the stage diving that took place later on in the show.

[@docmnemonic]

Superb -- 2008 -- time flies 🙂

[@Eisbaer7512]

Thank you so much

[@hshmanowin]

WOOOOW!!!! I searched for that nearly 20 years!!! I remember the first steps in LN2... how to turn the ninja???? hrhr THANKS DUDES! My Fav song is the 2nd song in game. Ich will search for more songs of you guys! THANKS A LOT!

[@troyberber2324]

This is exactly what I was hearing playing the game. Excellent.

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thank you very much!

[@thuaners]

i love the last ninja music! childhood memories! :D great vid!

[@cheewie2]

yeah drummer's killing it!!

[@danboid]

This is likely the best video game cover ever performed! The fact is that the SID and its sounds and songs were so good people still use it today, 30+ years on and this particular song was a highlight of all C64 music and always seemed like it was supposed to be performed by a live band. Good work guys! All hail Matt Grey!

[@Balazak]

Wooooooooh!!! I love this tune!! Nice job!

[@rego077]

Please come to London to play!!! Loved the c64 and this was my favourite game.Great job!!

[@MrMikeabcd1]

A great cover of a historic C64 Matt Gray track.. Well done guys. - ex 64 scener from Australia

[@pawelrozwadowski675]

AWESOME !!!! Now let's play another themes from The last Ninja 1-3 ! KEEP IT UP !!!!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Now, that would be fun!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thanks dude! There's more vid's in the vault. I just need time to edit them...

[@stressballen]

This made me smile bigtime. I love it :)

[@gualbertino]

Top notch music! Way to go lads!

[@bakalla00]

And so I watched it again and of course came again :D

[@docmyrtle]

This is so cool that I'm lost for words. Keep on playing, guys, and get yourselves into a studio!

[@hobbesyhobbit]

@nicebloke666 Well I never knew that! What a great song that is too, cheers for the tip off!!

[@Marcelo81125]

Every time I listen to this cover! I love my commodore more !! : D

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Thanks Marcelo! :)

[@stefanberghuis8405]

AWESOME!!! Best remix ever!

[@stevenfield7999]

Christ, this is one of my fav games and u lot just blew my head off! Well done, fuckin love it!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

Many thanks Steven!

[@padrehobbies5599]

Best soundtrack of 8 and 16 bits ever ...

[@AndreasWallstrom]

The band only rehearsed eight hours together before this gig and I had the whole event to arrange, so time was short. This was also the last track that made it to the set list. But your idea is good and something we'll have to think about until next time. Could be a good and easy way to update it.

[@TeamOttantaquattro]

This is great! Guys, I hope that soon or later you will release an album! There are many C64 fans out there!

[@bulentayas]

Feeling.. Thank you.

[@sidder74]

Man, that was a great evening at Kolingsborg!

[@Deetronic]

This sounds exactly I imagined it should sound when I was a kid!!! Great play!!! :)

[@nievasdario]

OMG, this is awesome stuff!!!!

[@AndreasWallstrom]

[@silviobulzoni929]
