Long time ago someone said to me that the music in LN2 was intended as a metal track, and.. well.. yeah!

[@AxelWerner]

ONE MAN MISSING.....rest in peace, Ben.

[@minastaros]

One afternoon in the end-80s, I spent an afternoon at a friend's C64 and recorded all the Last Ninja 2 loader and level music on compact cassette... Gosh, now it's life music! Awesome!

[@ChristianPatriotNetwork]

Such amazing music!

[@JanGaarni]

Hahaha I did the exact same thing. Recorded it on a tape so I could listen to it when I wasn't playing the game 😂😂😂

[@bushkilla7348]

These guys are just the best IMHO. Tight as a gnats chuff Live. C64 and Last Ninja Forever indeed!

[@jbradbury2]

Could not have said it better!

[@ETA555]

It´s amazing how great music Matt Grey wrote to the game Last Ninja 2. Great preformance "Fastloaders" love this Live Show.

[@Terbie36]

The enthusiasm of the guy with the ponytail among the audience...

[@astrideavolta]

C64 guitar - personified! :)

[@nicholasvinen]

In case anyone is wondering, the 3CD set you can buy from their website is great. Similar to this but longer and cleaner.

[@chrisigurd]

I want see this Band in Germany,after corona! Last Ninja is the best C64 Music ever!

[@beingrimm]

This year 15th of October in Mønchengladback. Amiga 37 festival :)

[@cheulesyigess1187]

So bad I could not be there... I had already a hotel booked, but a sudden business trip turned everything. I hope this year, fingers crossed. Great music, great performance, long live C64!

[@beingrimm]

Turned out to be impossible. But fingers crossed for 2021!

[@wayne_lee]

So I think a few hundred of those views must be mine now. I LOVE this so much. Can't wait for C64 Rocks! And I really want to see you guys live!

[@jasonbaxter7458]

What can i say.Amazeing guitarist.probably the best ive ever heard 👍 I do miss Ben though.His passion and talent was so so great

[@micheleporcu2287]

Simply AMAZING but THAT is what you get when you are raised in the best years. KEEP IT UP ALL YOU PEOPLE !!!!

[@rickhouston8280]

It's amazing how I was humming tunes for decades and not remembering where they came from until now. Love it.

[@kylereece1979]

Incredible. In early 1992 I played Last Ninja 2,and instantly, I got chills when the loading music arrived. I remember it, in my room watching the screen,and one of my all time favourite tunes enters life. I have been listening to the soundtrack to Last Ninja 2 all the time, since youtube brought it all back to the front again years ago. I wish more than anything that I could learn the soundtrack and play it like this. This is unreal, the sort of dream gig I had in my mind to play to thousands! I love it. The work and dedication gone into this is fantastic.

[@jfloop77]

Join the club mate, I played it as a kid - same story!

[@sycofreake1]

The literal only issue i have listening to this is I keep skipping forward to see how they do the next song because I'm so excited to hear it! Just brilliant, I wish they did Sega Mega Drive games, it would probably make me cry😊😊

[@greatestytcommentator]

Some of the grwatest composers of the era worked on various systems... It would be great to hear some of the Spectrum classics fleshed out by this group !

[@dusanmilojevicstenastena]

Last NINJA forever !!! Najbolja

[@fullmetalradio869]

Brilliant!!! The Office still gives me goose bumps after all these years.

[@madyogi6164]

Yea, It is pleasure (little to say) to hear it all, but that one really brings chills.

[@Rob34570]

Omg such memories, loved the last ninja 2 soundtrack, this is truly awesome! Well done FastLoaders! 👍👍👍

[@wizetek]

Awesome performance. Thanks for posting the video. And thank you Ben Daglish; you will live forever in our hearts. Cheers from Toronto.

[@user-li3wy2vo3i]

Matt Gray, not Ben Daglish. Daglish was the composer for The Last Ninja 1.

[@mg-jg2xk]

Last Ninja 2 Soundtrack is so epic... Good Work!

[@selmaevisen8561]

Great job I felt like I was 13

[@BroqHans]

52:48 My absolute favourite ever. Probably one of the coolest tracks ever to have graced the humble C64. What's even more incredible was the age of the composers (Gray and Galway in particular). They were literally kids when they wrote their masterpieces.

[@ColdBloodedCozmo]

Playing last ninja 1 and 2 for many many hours in the past, favourite here is the performance of The Sewers especially the middle part of this track, never get further this level in the past because the game always broke down after this level, seen the other levels only by looking playthrough on you tube...

[@nosferatu6576]

See you again this autumn! *fingers crossed*

[@PeterJohnson76]

Kick Arse guys, Long time fan of Heavy Metal, C64, Amiga, Last Ninja, Ben Danglish and Matt Gray. I'm from Adelaide South Australia, and go to Bergen every few years. Would love to catch you guys next time I'm there.

[@kjetilnossum]

Cool! If you're in Bergen October 21-22 you're in luck as Fastloaders have two new concerts that weekend at Back in Time Live.. :)

[@kjetilnossum]

Next happening: November 3rd and 4th 2023 :)

[@fontaholic]

I hug you guys for this. You did a so amazing interpretation. Incredible! My dog is headbanging with me lol so my old datasette is smoking soon

[@jbradbury2]

THANK YOU BEN! for all those great great feelings and moments! LN2 was ALL about the soundtracks, that's what made the game legendary. Little did I know way back that I only lived 18 miles away from him!

[@mortensuperlite]

Matt Gray did the music on LN2. Ben did the music on LN1.

[@jbradbury2]

@@mortensuperlite Oh...fair enough! Either way top man! :) Merry Christmas!

[@psycho0815]

If I could afford it I would I would order them to play along while I play the original game....

[@mikakoistinen9184]

niin kaunista musiikia .kiitos

[@ianslater8411]

[@porto197]

Outstanding.

[@machachaist]

What a great way-style to cover Matt L2 classics, these guys sounds AMAZING.

[@rolling-roadkill]

They even made my least favourite tracks from the game sound awesome. 🤩

[@Vajtosan]

The 2nd one @5:00 is such a banger, especially in the slow part. Love it!

[@SD78]

The SID chip really lent itself to emulating electric guitar voices.

[@bigpops74]

Mega. I missed this on the live stream last year.

[@diegodie2016]

Excellent covers !

[@rattinyou]

I just listen to this and life feels good... wayyyyyy to go #FastLoaders... any chance you guys are gonna do an orchestrated version of all this some time soon if not done already?

[@stefanoagostini_com]

LAST NINJA 2 LIVE!!!! Nothing better than this!!!!

[@bbenjoe]

There is this Doom II map called "Okuplok" which is using a midi version of the last ninja track.

[@harcsakutya]

Smiles and tears on my face :)

[@nice0051]

Perfect. Who does dislike this?

[@nichderjeniche]

ATARI enemies 😅

[@Commodore64SoundtrackCover]

[@stevenallan5822]

Great stuff, SID forever, long live SID.

[@matekovacs4796]

[@foxblue6529]

Na, azt én is adnám ember!!!🤘

[@littleandy1209]

Blimey, these musicans are so great that it sounds like Tony Iommi, and it was actually Matt Gray who made it! I'm impressed to say the least! ❤

[@driftke70]

man would be epic to see live give me shivers

[@phonicsonic]

Looks like these guys have come of age. I've never heard them sound better, that was simply amazing!

[@HellBoundsOnMyTrail]

Almost too much awesome

[@ColdBloodedCozmo]

That guitar tone had some time spent on it

[@greatestytcommentator]

Do they do other classics of the era?

[@benjaminrohling6365]

the one person who gives thumb down didn't have a nice childhood

[@dominicetli]

When's the world tour?

[@c64audio]

You get a performance here, a performance there. If no one goes, then they can't do it again. June 2nd at Camden is a big test.

[@petroderix1234]

When you add a female rock singer like Floor Jansen this will be a huge hit

[@prowokator]

I think the band averages on slightly longer than normal hair.

[@nikolaradojicic54]

Sta reci a ne pogresiti

[@EvilestGem]

No women in that audience just one for the men!

[@EvilestGem]

Ok there were a few just watched it again. Rock on you sisters!

[@paavometsaluoma2653]

a lot of these stages were boring. Also by playing but, by God, niin.. Eka on eka ja silla sipuli.. Ollaan ninjaa tai sit ei.

[@darrenpearn9083]

WTF are you on. Hope your not the idiot that gave this a thumbs down

[@willemmateboer6096]

You poor kid.. obviously you missed what we had in our youth. Words cant describe properly, but this is like a time machine back to those days that were never going to come back.. these guys managed to bring back at least the feeling. I was crying when i heared this for the first time. Thank you guys!

[@VolkanMemisoglu]

@@willemmateboer6096 Mister, I was a C64 kid back in time. Obviously not a kid now. Also a bass guitarist and a Matt Gray fan. So I made a comment about musicmanship and it's a tolerable critic whether you accept or not.

[@VolkanMemisoglu]

@@darrenpearn9083 You are the drummer I guess :)

[@willemmateboer6096]

@@VolkanMemisoglu hmmm i'm sorry, i maybe got a bit emotional.. i guess we are just listening to music on a different way
