😢 A piece of childhood dies, thanks Ben for giving us indelible emotions, your memory will always be alive in the music that accompanied the moments in front of the C-64. Rest in peace dear Ben.
A very Talented Person and Humble as well considering that he created the Most Amazing Song for a Video Game- The Last Ninja. Brings Back Great Memories
RIP Ben Dalglish, the Last Ninja (1&2) were my favourite games as a child and the music is something that has stayed with me since (particularly LN1 ) I still think these are some of the most awesome game compositions ever (and I'm nearly 45)..
Krakout had the best music I ever heard in a video game of any kind. It made the game more addictive and it sounded so futuristic and wild for a C64 game.
As newbie game developer I asked him if he likes to write me a comment after seeing my game trailer... NOT one second of hesitation. He was so kind... even with a stranger. RIP great artist.
Revisiting this interview (first saw it when he was alive and well), I am currently 42 like Ben is here, yet he's passed away. Life can be shorter than you think.
A very talented guy! I hope everything is well with him because he looks really bad in this video! Like he has just come out of drug rehab (or about to go IN!). In any case, I wish him the best of luck. His music will live on, no matter what. LC
+Lawrence Crowley Yeah that struck me too. He sort of looks like a junkie. I'm not judging, and we might be completely wrong anyway. He's a legend in any case!
I just watched the clip of Ben and David Whittaker at an event filmed in maybe 2001? He looked slightly less weathered there. Maybe like a lot of computer guys, doesn't really care about his social acceptance.
WTF people, what's wrong with his looks? That you try to pretend to look good and impress other people every single day of your life makes you any better than not giving a fuck and wearing whatever you feel comfortable with and look like anything you want, eh
That C64 looks a bit pale. After Mr Daglish touched the c64 it turned a deep chocolatey, golden brown. It now makes a living singing its heart out at local pubs.
What a shitty thing to say! He looks what is properly known as "bohemian", not "homeless" as you tastelessly describe it. Also, he was suffering from lung cancer, so maybe take the stick out your arse and realise that there are more images and lifestyles which conform to not just short hair and suits.
Dont know much about computers but this guy is on hell of an entertainer and musician. Ben when are you going to team up with anna brooks again and play some of your gypsy jazz. I only have 4 tracks of yours and they are awsome !
Wow, I only just read that Ben passed late last year. Only 53, too. It's sad to know that the guy who played a huge part in the life of C64 games, which was a huge part of my childhood, has now left this world... Wherever you are, Ben... thanks for making our childhood games that much more enjoyable. RIP.
Loved that! There is a great 5 page article about him (sort of an interview) in the newest Retro Gamer (Issue 70). If you love Ben Daglish for whatever reason, read that article. 5 *s from me!
R.I.P Ben

Rest in peace dear Ben.
The pieces of our childhood never really die. They stay in our memories and our hearts. So does Ben.
Every time I watch Ben videos I always feel him as the 8 bit Keith Richards. I grew up listening to his music, great memories. RIP Ben.
There were some games I only played to listen to BEN´s music. C-64 community is missing you, but your music never will die !
This man have my full respect. Thanks, Ben.
His music is part of my history.

R.I.P. Ben! Thank you for the music.
Rest in peace Ben. You did some awesome stuff.
Ben for life. Krakout must be specially remembered, that was a good one!
A legend, thanks for your music Ben.
Look at the gaming face. Great composer of the C64 era, rocks it.
As newbie game developer I asked him if he likes to write me a comment after seeing my game trailer... NOT one second of hesitation. He was so kind... even with a stranger. RIP great artist.
R.i.p. Ben.. miss yr shows at stainsby festival...never knew you created music for the old Commodore..
Revisiting this interview (first saw it when he was alive and well), I am currently 42 like Ben is here, yet he's passed away. Life can be shorter than you think.
Knew his music from way back when, and then into the Back In Time Live events. Great bloke. Is missed.
He composed the greatest C64 tune ever (The Last Ninja, the wastelands). Enough said.
My 9 year old comment (as of October 2018), and my opinion is still the same. Rest easy Ben.
Great work. Thanks for doing this interview.
Ben composed one of my all-time favourites pieces of C64 music, the wonderful theme to 'Blitzkrieg' :) I have it now ripped to my iTunes :))
RIP
RIP m8 LOVE YOUR MUSIC !!!!!!
He's fucking awesome.
He is amazing. Some of his tunes are timeless and would make it in the charts if they were re-recorded to clubsound. Check out 3-d galaxx
true artist
c64 love it!
God I love this guy! RIP m8
My hero!

Lawrence Crowley He's always looked like that. lol!
ben he is soooo awesome
Awesome, the interviewer is a bit of a numpty...but hey! lol great video 10/10, classic..............
"Numpty". Top patter!
Where was this filmed ? That foyer looks familiar ? Office in Wimbledon ?
If hiring a large dollycrane is too expensive, just shoot from an elevator! Creative thinking, lol.
WTF people, what's wrong with his looks? That you try to pretend to look good and impress other people every single day of your life makes you any better than not giving a fuck and wearing whatever you feel comfortable with and look like anything you want, eh
Because he doesn't conform? Lucky he doesn't as perhaps we wouldn't have his music if he had?
Really a great and nice guy but why does he always looks so shabby and neglected? Rest in peace Ben, you will be missed!
That C64 looks a bit pale.

Aldi machine.
Unfortunetely he look like a homeless. Why?

i LOVE the song from the Last Ninja :)
So, the now deceased composer is part of your history too...
Rest in peace Ben. Long live C64 music!
@@cintulator2 ill never forget the Last Ninja soundtrack 🥰 Rest in peace Ben!!
... and he was a lefty as well. I'm even more proud of our retro-gamer-music-maker Ben now. RIP to a legend.
as soon as he mentions its in the shed you know he's married
