R.I.P Ben

😢 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.

Rest in peace Ben. You did some awesome stuff.

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.

... and he was a lefty as well. I'm even more proud of our retro-gamer-music-maker Ben now. RIP to a legend.

This man have my full respect. Thanks, Ben.

i LOVE the song from the Last Ninja :)

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 !

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

R.I.P. Ben! Thank you for the music.

as soon as he mentions its in the shed you know he's married

Ben for life. Krakout must be specially remembered, that was a good one!

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.

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)..

A legend, thanks for your music Ben.

Look at the gaming face. Great composer of the C64 era, rocks it.

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.

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.

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..

Great work. Thanks for doing this interview.

His work will live on,he is a legend,he was only 52,wow that is no age RIP.bud.

Knew his music from way back when, and then into the Back In Time Live events. Great bloke. Is missed.

RIP

It's gr8 to finally see the composer of H.A.T.E. firsthand.

He composed the greatest C64 tune ever (The Last Ninja, the wastelands). Enough said.

RIP m8 LOVE YOUR MUSIC !!!!!!

He's fucking awesome.

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 :))

c64 love it!

true artist

My hero!

God I love this guy! RIP m8

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

ben he is soooo awesome

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!

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 !

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

Awesome, the interviewer is a bit of a numpty...but hey! lol great video 10/10, classic..............

Where was this filmed ? That foyer looks familiar ? Office in Wimbledon ?

5:11 i really liked mission impossible but hated the joystick/steering.

If hiring a large dollycrane is too expensive, just shoot from an elevator! Creative thinking, lol.

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!

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.

Unfortunetely he look like a homeless. Why?
