Monty on the run rock cover

[dreadlockandload]

fuck yeah! awesome!

[Sadukar7thLegion]

I hate Utube, I just tried to make the point with other people that this is bloody good, no cuts, no camera shite, just you playing the bloody song, as you stated. And I was banned from stating that your version was better. How sad is that???

Gimme a few hours and I'll make it look like I've just invented the world.

It is better. much better. Don't stop bud, you are still the only version on the net I've seen that can do the whole song in one take, no bollocks.

Respect. x

[Sadukar7thLegion]

I'll tell you what, it tweaks all my tweakables! Love this version!!!! xxx

[Sadukar7thLegion]

I love this version, stop being horrible and praise the guy for what he has done!  Plz.

[Shouseinthehouse]

fucking awesome!

[metalkirby777]

I personally like the spin this has on things. It isn't SPOT ON (but pretty damned close), but that makes it sound less choppy at the parts where the notes are a bit slurred. All in all, what I'm saying is that it's a very nice rendition. Love it.

[maikkk]

sorry but sakkisaxx version is superior

i hate when someone miss difficult notes

[Casef]

@maikkk Glad to be of service.

[McLarenMercedes]

There's hope for this world yet, with ordinary people preserving culture in all its form.

People only now realize what Rob Hubbard pulled off from the SID.

[MachineGun28]

Anyone know where I can get the tab for C64 songs?

[sieroy88]

my cover : /watch?v=UtR6lu--B_0

[GreenGrand2000]

/watch?v=uKssGfAtTP4 is better than this

[smallredferrari]

brilliant, well done. A classic

[arronhunt]

I can do that. Not really, but I pretend sometimes.

[realisticHomeboy]

I was there

[metalkirby777]

If you want any constructive criticism, I'd say make the spaces between those fast notes a little cleaner but... there really isn't much room for me to say anything, this was ideal stuff. Great job!!!

[SupremeColZod]

Dude don't be so hard on yourself, this is great even if you miss some notes!!

[Casef]

If you're not hard on yourself, there's no hope for progress.

[DJRevan]

So true, I agree - and your cover is GREAT! :)

[SilentDrapeRunner]

Fantastic!!!

[Sadukar7thLegion]

I am still SO loving this bud, and all the boys too, waiting for the new stuff.

[Supertaco117]

I sort of like this version more then Sakkis or whoevers version. 1. I just like the way this sounds better, and 2. the 'missed notes' or whatever I think make it 'stylishly different'. Its like how live bands seem to play slightly off-key compared to their studio songs and it ends up sounding cooler.

[Sadukar7thLegion]

All the notes or not, do not diss Casef, lets not fall into the i'm better than you crap, he is good, okay, be stroppy, not allthe notes, but I think he's damn good, keep it up Casef, waiting for Push bud... x

[SAKKISAXX]

guys, check out my version. I assure you: I Play ALL the notes ;-) !!!

[Casef]

I assure you: I don't really care whether I play all the notes or not ;)

BTW, great video! :) So yeah, everyone, check out SAKKISAXX's FULL MONTY! ;)

[SAKKISAXX]

thank you, Casef! By the way - I didn't want to diss you, in fact your video made me recording mine :-)

[Casef]

No harm done, I assure you :) I'm the first one to admit my playing leaves a lot to be desired (as I state in the video info). I blame some of it on my guitar - it doesn't sound very good and feels somehow "not quite right", no matter how I try to set it up, so I don't enjoy playing it all that much, so I don't like to spend the time learning to play something really good. I need a better one. But then there's of course the laziness, general attitude and also my overall limitations as a player.

[Sadukar7thLegion]

Back again bud, play this after a few beers with the boys, blows their minds, I know it's not yours, but you take this and make it sing like am orgasmic angel, don't stop, please..

[RedMist1972]

F**king superb. Long live SID, Long live C64, long live the Hubbard and the Galway!!

[Casef]

Yep, there's keyboard, sort of Hammond organ sound, which plays background chords and a few guitar complementing solos (ie 1:04-1:15 bit), but it's somehow hard to hear here on YouTube. Stands out quite a lot more on the original recording, though.

[axel1973w]

COMMODORE C64 ROCKZZZZZZZZZZZ!

[Slaindarr]

I love this. Damn good, well done :)

[SAKKISAXX]

sorry dude, but you just play the half of the notes and leave out the more difficult speedy passages ... but the background grooves anyhow.

[Casef]

Well, although I don't know about leaving out HALF of the notes or more difficult speedy passages, in comparison to the "original" by Press Play on Tape, at least (which I think I'm pretty close to, I just leave out the tapping part at 5:30 and play it differently), well...what can I say. I'm just your average self-tought guitar player who plays because he enjoys it, certainly no virtuoso, not by a long shot. Sorry.

[UberShyGuy]

KICKASS! Perhaps even more than the original 8-bit version.

[sonnetone]

dang. well don't discredit yourself in anyway Casef, your lead guitarwork speaks all for itself. phenomenal :)

[Sadukar7thLegion]

Flawless! Rob Hubbard would be proud of this bud, you are a star in the making, keep up the good work, and I'm so feckin' jealous! x

C64 rock God!

[Casef]

Thanks, but again, I have to point out that it's not really my own cover, I just "recreated" the Press Play On Tape version, so the real credit goes to them.

[squareski]

Excellent stuff! Wish I could play this tune, it's been a fave of mine for many many years. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

[Casef]

Thanks for all the comments.

[schnubbel76]

Absolutely fantastic. Bring it on CD. And do more of that. What about rock cover from turrican soundtracks?

[Casef]

I!m not that good for CD and besides, you can probably still get the original Press Play on Tape studio recording of this rock cover, "I'm just the man who plays the songs" ;)

As for covering Turrican, I'd love to do that, but I don't see it happening any time soon, I'd need an awful lot of time to think up the arrangements and recording all of the instruments, which I sadly do not have. Live rendering of Agent X by Tim Follin (the ZX Spectrum version) would be another one I'd like to do.

[akaracquel]

BRILLIANT WORK! I'm trying to learn it on the violin so Thank You so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON TO MOTR!!!

[welfy]

I love this song and the version you're playing!

[oscarlazzarino]

Great!
