commando high score Fastloaders and Rob Hubbard

The very end of the gig, and most likely my last ever tune played live!
Fastloaders are great players who should be out there touring and making mega bucks - it's sad that they aren't. It was a privilege coming out of retirement (last gig was 2012), and playing with these guys. It would of been really cool to do more improv with them, but they play to a pre recorded backing track. Amazing that Commando HS has lasted all these years, and that that there are so many great versions and remixes!.

Wow just found didnt know you had youtube channel, great inspiration to many rob

Dear Rob. If you read this. You were the musician that i knew best, growing up. So many fond memories. Thank you so much. When I hear your music I think of my Father who passed away. We used to play C64 games together.

[@robhubbard161]

Thanks for the kind words. We always identify with tunes and music we heard whilst growing up, and they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia!

Even when we lost, we won a beautiful melody. I intentionally lost the game, just to hear the music.

[@g0mtnlee]

I don't know if you'll read this Rob, but a big thank-you for all your musical creations. I've been enjoying reading all the details in the fantastic "Master of Magic" this week to appreciate that rare combination of musical and coding skills that gave so much enjoyment to a generation. (Also great to hear more Fastloaders performances in the accompanying archive!)

Rob Hubbard the SID Master !

Rob Hubbard is a living legend.

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

Mesmerising - my childhood, my C-64 and the wonderful music of Mr. Rob Hubbard. Utter legend.

[@pascalweill9635]

Thank you so much Rob for having made me music-dream all my childhood in the 80s !! Yes, thank you.

[@rogfusionkid]

Beautiful piano playing Mr Hubbard. I was probably 12 years old listening to your music on my C64 games. It was quite remarkable and for me stood up against acts like depeche mode or howard jones, of course you were listening to that stuff too. You deserve credit man, Crazy Comets, I will never forget that tune. Actually I would like to hear you just playing your piano as you're a great player. Memories,! it's taken over 30 years to find out something about you.

[@communitythemecreator]

Massive talent !! made the games infinitely better with his music and sound effects, such a genius and humble human being.

[@Waterboyofsuperman]

Ron hubbard’s piano solo and accompaniment/improvisation in the piano is lights out! Love the Fastloaders but including the legend himself puts this over the top! I’ve always loved how the Fastloaders pay tribute so well to the great C64 composers.

[@twofour8127]

Awesome! Thank you Rob so much! You have no idea how much you affected myself musically back in the 80s! Fantastic! Cheers!

[@Foxcb27]

You, sir, are master of my childhood. If I want any song on my funeral, it will be this song and on scree will be my sign on the top of the chart - Fox. Thank you.

Ever since I got my C=64 in 1985. SID music became the only thing I listened top until about 1990. I still play it emulated on my PC today.

[@hombre_pez]

The most beautiful music in the world!

[@hombre_pez]

I only play Commando for this music.

[@pasromano75]

Fantastic version !!!

[@ivanmosca301]

Rub Hubbard, today I found your music from my memories: it was in an Amiga cracktro of Syndicate (the Bullfrog game) and I searched it for thirty years, because it is the single music that remembers me my childhood (with Cannon Fodder intro and Sensible Soccer 1.1 main theme - Frontier soundtrack also). THANKS

[@SandroMassarani]

This is wonderful. Great memories.

[@perrychong5024]

Fantastic. Brought back very good memories. Thank you.

If this was at a large stadium everyone would have thier lighters out and swaying back and forth.

[@bedientvondeutschland1779]

They talk about electronic musik artist like Mike Oldfield, Kraftwerk and a lot of others and only a few knew the real electronic musician. There are dozens others which also nobody knows like Ben Daglish. He also played with Fastloaders.

[@Outreal1]

Absolutely epic Rob (great job Fastloaders). If this version of the song had lyrics, what would they be?

[@mehere3013]

Lyrics should be put to this song and released
