I'd pay to hear the soundtrack performed live.
Next VideoGames Live perhaps?
I'd do it too fam.
Sileff We all would do
Same
Ok, $200 thank you.
This game should get an award just for the finishing and releasing, itself.
A.J. Ello Well, you wouldn't deserve those awards.
A.J. Ello AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
It did go on MDHR’s web site
Eww, It's timmy. How about mario odyssey? Unfortunately I’ve never the chance to play sonic mania
Makenzi Glass don't be rude be nice
Clarinet: *has a solo*
Cameraman: i dunno let’s just record the goddamn trombone player
I'm pretty sure the solo was pre-recorded
The trombone was killin it tho
I wonder if I can convince my friends to play this.
I bet thats fault of the editor.
The solos were recorded individually; nobody's playing in the studio at that moment. iirc originally they were going to swap out which instruments soloed every time you repeated the fight but it got scrapped.
That's also why there are different solos on the in-game version and OST versions of the track
For a game that only costs $20, this is absolutely incredible and inspiring.
really? it costs 6 dollars here
@@birthdaytweet3964 the comment was three years ago mate
@@ilyanwevers5784 Oh sorry! My bad.
@@birthdaytweet3964 bruh
@@jplaysgamez_ Hey! mistakes can be made
Seriously StudioMDHR, you need to release a complete behind the scenes showing the recording of every music of the game.
Please I will pay for that....!
You really should
Unfortunately they probably didn’t record the other songs other than this and Floral Fury. I would definitely buy it if it existed!!
They won't if you passed Isle 1 lol
I wish they did like railroad wrath forum frolic clip joint clamaty
Hopefully, Cuphead will be considered a classic in some years from now. It deserves so much praise.
and hopefully the fandom doesn't scare too many people away from it
Xavier Horn i want to play it but it costs mobey😣
Aden Young did you excpeted it to be free?
Joaquín Barboza if only 😣
It's a classic now, and it only came out a few months ago!
My man killin it on that baritone sax
Right? So good.
glad to finally see someone appreciating the best instrument😂
@@G_Nitro used to play it myself, loved every minute of it
Of all of the solos featured in Cuphead, that clarinet from 2:28 to 2:55 is by far my favorite. That high note is incredible and the decay right after is unmatched. 10/10, I wish it was featured in one of the official soundtracks.
squidward is like: shit
dude that shit was nuts
RetroTech Commentaries wdym? Wasn’t it in this soundtrack?
@@SuperJGGaming nope it isnt sadly
JuiceSoda hmm interesting, I guess ‘cause I never get that far into the song anyways hehe
This is fucking class, man.
m'lady *tips fedora*
Amen, brother.
N a r i Saying the f word was not nessecary, especially on a video like this >:|
Ya like jazz?
No, it was indeed. (:
The concept must be boosted.
Feel bad for the guy on the piano, you literally can't hear him
Liam McDonnell well, at least he felt that he participated
So the pianist isn't in this recording but in the version of this sound that appears on the official soundtrack, the pianist has a solo
You can, but his job is to help lock down the rhythm section and double the melody - not outplay the whole brass section. Other versions of songs throughout cup head have solo piano transcriptions anyway.
I can hear him at 2:40
Lol if you pay attention you can actually hear him
I feel like Cuphead: Don’t Deal With The Devil should be a show
It's a game but it's look is a 1930's cartoon
@@ronaldmacalalad747 well duh, hes saying there should be a fully animated cartoon, with a writer's staff and all
Disney- RIGHT THAT DOWN RIGHT THAT DOWN
TV or stage?
Well Netflix done it.
* Clarinet solo plays *
Camera man: Tromboney boi, ACTIVATE!
Me: *Dies hundreds of times*
Cuphead : "...Not quite my tempo"
thebarbare69
*Cuphead hurls a chair at the drummer*
Were you rushing or dragging..
Are you one of those one tear type of people?
I CAN STILL SEE YOU MINI-ME!
BRUTAL! :D
You can tell they are all veterans in the music bussines. How is this game so damn perfect?
Alex Silva
either because modern music is so shit or because modern music is all that ppl listen to so video games are now the only way to find awesome orchestra pieces like Skyrim, Fallout, Cuphead etc...
It might be because it is more difficult to land a stable job as a woodwind musician today than for, let's say 30/40/50 years ago.
@@tempjohn3510 Modern music is not shit
stop taking some shitty radio channel and then generalizing everything please
@@iTheBeep If I have to put "its my opinion" any time I say something, the internet would be the safest place in the world. Also, do you still listen to music from the radio? Because if you do thats telling me you don't know modern music like I do
Alex Silva Because They Are Gods
2:56 when you walk into the wrong recording studio and have no idea what to play
Yo stop copy xd
tbh thats how you play jazz piano man, pumping out chords
Lmao
Yeah I imagine you know how to play jazz piano extremely well lol
I have just finished the game on my Playstation 4 a few hours ago.
I honestly can not decide what i enjoyed the most, animation, gameplay, music.
Everything is just a masterpiece.
I hope we get more of the Cuphead experience.
dlc is inbound
Cartoon is also fun.
Everything is top tier but I think I like the artstyle and animation best
The art style is fantastic. But man. This soundtrack put it over the top for me!!! Thank you guys for such dedication in a game!! Best indie game I've played all year
Chugada Cheese Gaming Right!!! This game remind me good old days when I watched classic Mickey Mouse.
23..... well I used to have videos of these cartoons. They are very first cartoons I watched.
I know right, I bought this game when it first got out and I don’t regret buying at all it’s just so awesome and amazing that I give cuphead a 10 Star ⭐️ rating
Honestly.
By FAR
This is awesome
Haedox hey i know you, your the guy that hates skylanders and likes paper mario color splash. Im not saying that cuz i have a problem with it. Im just saying it cuz its true
Please review it headox! I went all out on supporting this game :p pre ordered the deluxe edition the day it was available and bought a shirt from designs by humans. Now the only thing I want more are 2 cups with the faces of cuphead and mugman. I mean it looks so obvious to me as merchandise lol. Can't wait for friday!
Hey Haedox how's Skylander Academy?
Oh, cool! I recognize that avatar from anywhere. 😄
The game ia outstanding and the fact that it was hand draw is amazing
the piano guy just looks like he's slapping the thing XD
I played jazz piano for a couple years in an ensemble and to be honest thats the way you play rhythm section pumping out chords, looks like u slappin the keys
Wait till you see free jazz or fusion
0:52 best part
Yep
now THIS is some good music
Syber-VHS why can't music be like this
YASS
There is, it's called swing music, there are some quick songs like this from artists such as Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Glenn Miller.
Thanks!
letsdoit dj damn it's like jazz never existed
*Dies for the 500th time*
"GOD DAMN IT!!!! IM DONE WITH THIS GAME!!!"
*comes back ten minutes later and beats boss*
"GOD DAMN IT!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!"
What man, when I cleared this baby I have played on a crap PC and with lag as hell and barely have some cheap 300 deaths from it. Lol
Sorry, I'm a old gamer.
Too fucking relatable my friend. Too fucking relatable 😂
It be that way sometimes
What a vibe
**My play through**
“Through all your battles and all my rhymes, so far you failed your entire life”
:Me: H A H! JOKES ON YOU I ALREADY KNEW THAT!
I don't know if there exists any other game in the history of gaming that has done this: To hire a gigantic Jazz band to create, play and record their tracks like boss themes. Absolute dedication.
Not out yet but it looks like Silksong will have real performers doing the tracks. From what I've seen online Hollow Knight used purely digital sounds due to a lack of budget
Critics: the videogames aren´t art...
Cuphead: hold my beer, watch and listen...
I love how this is hands-down the single best video game soundtrack I have ever heard, and once they are finished, the conductor is like "oh thx guys, let's take a break"
Molgerax Productions if you like game soundracks ThatGameCompany's Journey has an AMAZING soundtrack. I think im going to have to pick this one up too, I want it on vinyl for some pseudo-nastalgia
Molgerax Productions The conductor really cares about what he's creating and doesn't want to over work his crew. It's very heart warming.
Yeah, this year has a lot of contenders for best vg ost.
You should try to listen to Hollow knight as well as Witcher 3 soundtracks, they are my favorite so far.
Molgerax Productions Dont forget about mario galaxy
The soundtrack is one of the main reasons I love this game.
Me too
Same here my favourite is Cala maria is Hilda berg
SoulOfTheShadow :v Isn’t it everyones?
Yeah me too! I started loving jazz because of Cuphead
I agree. It’s so dang good
That'd be such an honor to play the soundtrack for a game like this
If only I was talented enough.... I can't even play undertale music on a piano
My man’s in smash now, good for him
me: “pass the aux cord”
friend: “you better not play trash”
me:
Me: Trash? This is *GOLDEN TRASH* for your information
At least you didn't play trash
friend: "ah I see you are a man of culture"
It’s literally just Jazz
Le Succ ik
How could you give this a thumbs down? This is crazy impressive even if it wasn't in a game
Nathan Custance it was down voted because it was to short and they need it to go on **FOREVER**
It is in the game though, it's for Cala Maria
iNecroGaming IF
Some things are down voted because people don't like them, but not because they want to be asses about it, its because that way youtube doesn't recommend you similar content.
For example when I'm watching a show and stumble across a video of said show, I give him a thumbs down so youtube doesn't recommend me a video that spoils shit with the name ''YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER JUST DIED!!!! Last scene from the show that you are watching!''
1:19 from that point on is my favorite but dang! The ending can really sneak up on you.
What instrument is that?
@@gobblebol5136 trombone with a plunger mute
2:28-2:56 best part hands down
Hand down this comment is good!
i really love 0:50 part
This makes me wanna play the trumpet
Da Dragon Durp You definitely should try! I Play and i love it! 😃
Nooo booo saxes forever! (Jk follow your dreams -- it's never too late or too early to learn!)
This makes me wanna play clarinet, so I manage to find dusty 5 year old clarinet from my shelf, repaired cork, practicing isle one, it feels cool man
최연준 Nice, man! I have been playing clarinet for almost 6 years now. Hope you like it!
Da Dragon Durp I always encourage anyone who wants to to learn to play an instrument.
Couple tips as well
1) STICK TO IT: You WILL suck for the first month, hell even year. Keep at it, and someday, you'll get it and you won't Sound like a dying cat anymore.
2) Learn the note names. I never did, and wow, did it come back to bite me in the ass later
For trumpets specifically
3) PRACTICE THAT INTONATION. With ever group of trumpets I played with, hardly any of them had good intonation, and when you put that all together with the other off tune trumpets, it's sounds like hot garbage.
Damn these people look like they put their heart and soul into this game. What a beautiful master piece. Both animation and music. Never thought I'd hear music like this still made in 2017.
Thanks so much man!
This makes me miss my clarinet ... that sweet sweet sound!
Squidward is in this! His clarinet!!
I love the fact most of them are smiling during the whole process of recording. It's heartwarming to watch and hear; so many years of hard work was really worth it, this game is FANTASTIC! I love the overall old-school aesthetic, as this style of animation and music touches a soft spot in my heart.
Congratulations and thank you!
Okami Amaterasu to be honest I can't believe they can do that while smiling. Because Every time I smile while playing I spit the instrument out:"))
I've played trumpet for 8 years now, and I've loved every second of it. No surprises seeing everyone smiling, this is a light, fun peice.
Okami Amaterasu, me too!
Okami Amaterasu Dee s0 c00lll
What a swinging group!!!
2:00 makes it feel like a pirate's theme
OOOOOOOOOOHHH
What kind of pirates have you seen
Who lives in pineapple under the sea?
1:27 - trombone in the background is just straight vibin'
The fact that there's so many elders makes it even better.
MMMMMASTA PIECE
hi duckey
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
duckEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN
*Wait.*
Detective Dank Duck まんだ せ ぁっかっ
Dunkey
Them bringing back the good ol' days with classic music such as this, can't get enough of it
As a trombone player: That bari sax is killing it 😍
As a high school trombone player, I agree 💯
2:00
*sways about and snaps*
Agh, music like Cuphead has makes me glad im frickin' ALIVE.
TheMessNamedWes Do you like Skullgirls?
That part for me is 0:50
Honestly, the pain-stakingly detailed hand-drawn animation would've been enough, but the composition is beautiful. Those two elememts combined with the arduous gameplay make this one of the most complete and wonderful game experiences I've ever had. Thank you all, so much, for all the hard work you put into this game! It shows and has paid off in spades!
He’s older men playing music have experience for old fashion cartoons
The success of this game is much more than deserved. Congratulations to the entire team for the dedication and effort that was employed in this masterpiece.
Ive been waiting for years, 3 more days and the wait is finally over
VintageSteelo I feel ya buddy.
Well, the wait is over.
VintageSteelo keep in mind only 4 people where working on this game
19,99$
I legit wish this was a real cartoon
Mr. Duck well cuphead is actually a cartoon
same
Well, they would probably ruin this show just like how they ruined Teen Titans.
Me too
at least a 20 minute one timer
i listen to the soundtrack daily
THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE DISCOVERED.
0:13 My guy not even wearing the headphones
I play the drum set, saxophone, trombone and sax. THIS is my dream job.
You said saxophone twice
@@Nose-vq3gy lol
Hop u make it
KoopaKrafter but he’s not an idiot
I play Alto and Tenor sax. Me too brother, me too.
Indie game of the year
-Indie- game of the year
There fixed that for you :D
Balnazzardi even better
Mr Blu indie game of the century
GAME OF THE MILLENIUM!!!
:v
*GAME OF THE MUTHAFUCKIN’ DECADE
Fixed it.
As soon as I saw the clarinet, my heart ran laps
I remember when I was a freshman in High School I was begging my jazz band director for the theme of our songs to be about Cuphead lol
Did you play any of the songs
As a junior clarinet playerfirst chair top band in my school . That clarinet solo had me shocked
Actually I'm pretty sure that was a soprano saxophone.
Bouvet It was definitely a clarinet brether.
Bouvet that was 100% a clarinet
No one really cares what chair you are, I feel like you just want to brag
Congrats high school clarinet player, humble brag more.
Who the heck could dislike this MASTAAPIECE???????????????????
Los Twichers The Devil?
people that are just jealous of this because they can't make music that good
Twat waffle soundcloud rappers, that's who.
John Nigel Langford true fam haha
Cala Maria haters
That walking bassline THO
ill always be mad that they took that clarinet solo out.
the only game I'll ever preorder
its funny that people see the need to pre-order digital games, like they would run out of digital copies :D...and it doesnt even have any pre-order bonuses.
I mean dont get me wrong, its great to see people supporting/buying this game but....what's with the pre-ordering of digital games? :D
Balnazzardi to have the download ready for the set release time
Balnazzardi You act like it costs extra to pre-order. He's paying the same price for the game. So, why does it matter when the game is bought?
in some cases it even costs less to pre-order.
Same
Man this brings me back to my high school jazz band days...
Im transcribing Carnival Kerfuffle for my high school jazz band!!!
Check it out please
musescore.com/user/3981901/scores/4825227
It was all happiness until a gay vampire ruined it all, I assume.
A black gay priest, actually.
I hope I'll have a jazz band one day..
The Man In The Void wow it's great!!
That trombone solo was fire
we need cuphead musical now
Cuphead IS the musical
Hard to believe people would actually dislike this video...
Kemo Morgan maybe people who don't like that it's only for pc and Xbox but that's just a guess
Maybe people who actually don't like this type of music, i would recommend you to be a little more open-minded
Even if you don't like the music, you can still appreciate the talent and hard work that goes behind it. I recommend you to be more empathetic.
ima be blasting this soundtrack in my car all the time yall seriously threw down you'll definitely be getting your money back and then some definitely worth the wait yall put your time and effort in I'm just speechless I wanna play this game so bad I'm literally gonna call in sick from work just to play and hay you didn't have to make a deal with the devil
Vilatoro I can't believe it's only $20.
Vilatoro this is your boss. This explains your one week straight of sick leave. You’re fired.
Michelle Osorio's Kill9TV lol I took one day off it ain't gonna hurt
The clarinet solo is by far the best part of this lol
W-w-wow! This was amazing!
2:51 GOD DAAAAMN
Thats a clarinet tho, isnt it?
Most likely. That or a soprano
The Man In The Void yeah
It’s a clarinet. A soprano doesn’t make that sound. (I would know, I play one XD)
0shawhat I didint know a trombone could do that! I play trombone and I can’t reach THAT high!
This is one of my favorite games of this generation. The art style, the music, the challenging gameplay, just an amazing game overall.
2:22 Danny Devito on trombone!
0:56 I like how they show goopys old boss fight
Bring the soundtrack to iTunes! I need this soundtrack on repeat!
Dr. Weird it's $10 on band camp, and you can download it in Apple Lossless
Dr. Weird You dont need itunes my friend! You just have to bring the full cuphead ost, put it on a playlist in youtube or make a new one, and whenever you get in the video, hit that button that says replay,
It’s on iTunes too it’s free
PinguDaPingu I think his point was more like he wanted to support MDHR by Buying the music ;)
The soundtrack and the games details had so much work put into this.
This game deserves alot of awards because holy crap.
That bari sax solo at 0:24 makes me moist
The bari at the beginning Jesus Christ
And don't even get me started on that sick ass trombone solo
I always get hit at least once because my brain wants to jam to the music while also trying to focus with what's going on in game, very well done game, very well done
cant believe this game is only $20.
do you know, i dont play shooting game but as an artist i bought this to support, 2 on my 2 family steam accounts
You could freaking dance to this.
you guys need a raise!! your game and music is incredible!!!
C’mon let’s get this game on the Nintendo Switch!
it worked
Wish granted.
Wish came true.
Nice
Wish granted!
A R T
Stranger 2525 yeah art
The drummer they got is outstanding. That opening rhythm on the toms was awesome.
Absolutely goegeous!
The dedication and effort put into this game is unbelievable, and I love it.
Three days!
chutesto12new MODS yee
chutesto12new MODS Just three days my friend
...and counting...:-D
Tomorrow !
chutesto12new MODS Geez sorry. I'll go find some more potato salad.
I love this song! AMAZING
The drummer and bass players are absolutely killing it and I love it❤❤
The game of the year for me ! and this soundtracks OMG perfect !
That transition from playing to after the editing is exactly why I love music
0:54 Never in any of my playthroughs have I thought to parry the laser.
The only game I ever preorder on Steam! Perfect piece of art!
AGGGGH. This is EASILY the best song yet. WOW. What a GREAT PIECE. I have to listen to this again--i have to listen to this easily several more times. This is just incredible.
EDIT: may i just add that the muted trombone (at 1:18) is one of the most hilarious sounds in jazz? like, the muted trumpet is "weh, weh, mwehwep-wehh" and that's fun and very listenable, but the muted trombone is just: "mmuuAAAAUUGGGGGH" like the death throes of a broken-hearted scat singer.
sleepCircle That’s plunger mutes for ya. As a trombonist, the growling is easily one of the funnest things you can do.
0:24 wow that bari (i think) is cool and i love this song!
Thank you so much for putting so much effort in your music, words can not describe how much I love the game's music
they need to get a grammy or something like that for the soundtrack! i mean, it's goddamn amazing!
0:20 Perilous Piers perhaps?
MrPhantaze I think so. Looks like it could be it.
MrPhantaze Could that be a new special at 2:27?
Yes, it definitely is a new Super Art. All we now know is it homes into target and it can be used multiple times by parrying the heart which will float to sky.
MrPhantaze Alright, thanks for the clarification.
Dangerous Docks
this is amazing
Absolutely amazing soundtrack still keep it up for the dlc
Oh man I'd love to see the making of Sugarland Shimmy or Carnival Kerfuffle
