Didn't know you had another channel man, btw, I miss my C64, them were the days, nice vid man!

[HeavyMetalizer]

@TheAcousticBassist Thanks man. I started this channel not too long time ago to upload the occasional composition and wanted to keep it separate from my metal cover channel.

Nice tribute and cool video too.

Very cool, Seb!!! My Dad would have loved to see/hear this...he was such a computer geek and LOVED his Commodore 64 (I rescued the manual for that computer when we were going through this stuff when he passed on...just to keep as a reminder of him). The music is awesome and cool graphics as always! Keep up with the originals, Seb...I'm enjoying seeing/hearing this very creative side of you!

Hugs,

Very nice Asphy....HeavyMetalizer

I am young and I dont know all these old stuff (i got my first computer 2004) thats a very nice song, thou maybe the original wasn't made by a metalhead with a 7string. And even a kick ass song may it be but 30 minutes.......lol thats a lot.

And its nice for a change to see someone making a tribute to a old game or computer different than Super Mario, Tetris & Zelda.

Than you for that. \\m//

[HeavyMetalizer]

@JamesHeadbangerfield Thanks your comment. I'm not even sure if there were 7-strings available back then - at least they weren't any popular, I'm sure.

Absolutly fantastic. I have nothing but the best memories of a time in my life, from the ages of around 10- 13, whereby I heard all these classic sid tunes for the first time. I loved the Ocean loader themes- and what you've done here is brilliant.

The c64 had incredible soundtracks that sound awsome when translated to electic guitar. Taking nostalgic blasts like this and modernising them with the style of music you like to listen to today.

Loved the tapping section at the end. Classic, man.

Original tribute idea. Its amazing the difference of computers back then to those of today. Now you can get multi GB on a tiny memory stick. We had a commodore, along with an "Apple II Plus" with the giant 5 1/4 drives and separate cables.

[HeavyMetalizer]

@hufschmidguitars1 That might in fact be true. But this was pretty fun to do. There are some really nice good old c64 tunes that would be worth being remade - some would be even great as a metal tune. Like those good old wizball songs by Martin Galway.

[TerrifyingEq]

Cool idea! I had a Commodore Vic 20, so you had awesome computing power compared to me! I don't think the Vic 20 had enough power to play music during the program loading time - although you could hear the aweful digital screaming of the data...

[HeavyMetalizer]

@TerrifyingEq Yeah, I remember that one, too. If you watch closely you can see the VIC 20, too at the end of the video in the brochure. It's the "cheap" one for "only" 2970 Deutsch Marks back then, while the Commodore was 4290.

Ha ha very nice.Awesome song.You should try to play the Subterannean song form the Earthworm Jim 2 game, it would be soo cool.Keep on rockin
