WOW - thank you so much for releasing this video to show just how much went into this incredible score! This track is just insane - I didn't realize until also reading the score notes that this is a DOUBLE big band hard panned left and right, that is a crazy amount of musicians!!

[ImRuscelOfficial]

A double big band is so craaazy. Can’t imagine how this was mixed together. These musicians are killing!!

[yggdrasilsaltar]

chef saltbakers boss fight is one of the best things ive ever seen in a video game, from the animation and especially the music. i will forever love cuphead for how much passion went into it

[tharjaitou]

My dad is nearly 70ish, we played Cuphead together both the normal and DLC, and he asked a full mp3 of this song, he is going to love seeing it recorded.
Thank you so much for such a gaming masterpiece of pure love, in a sea of microtranscrap.

After one year the channel is alive again

“We hope this brings a smile to your face.” Guys you put a smile on everyone’s face the moment we think of your game and music

[ComiCross]

This is literally one of the greatest games of all time, I S ranked every boss, everything about it is so good!

[taylerm]

Still no power from the Hurricane. This was just the thing to bring up my spirits. Sending lots of love and appreciation from South Georgia.

This game was such a passion project. One of the great success stories of gaming in the 2010s imo. If theres never another Cuphead game, at least us fans can know that the creators gave this game their absolute all.

[Sike]

Can't believe it's been 7 years man. The amount of passion put into this game is unmatched, hands down one of my favorite games of all time.

[Sycorav]

It’s nice seeing all the OGs like that guy on the drums and the trumpet players, MDHR have their loyal musicians

[Cataclyscerator]

Chef Saltbaker's theme is definitely one of the majestic ones in the DLC
You guys make one of the most amazing soundtracks ever in the video game industry

[cookies_and_mustard]

I love the crazy amount of emotion in this piece, it conveys so many different things at once! Everyone who’ve worked on the soundtrack has done a phenomenal job at bringing this game to life!

[rainbowtoyfunrandomess]

7 years of Cuphead and 2 years of The Delicious Last Course! I can tell the whole franchise is never going to end which I'm happy with.😁😈☕🎲♥️♦️♣️♠️

[Pannik]

This means so much to me to see these behind the scenes studio sessions. Cuphead got me into jazz (just as I was getting bored of rock music) when it released and now I'm working toward being a full-time jazz musician. thank you so much!

[rogers]

3:46 The most epic part of any Cuphead song, just perfect...

[_what._.]

Every single aspect of Cuphead is insanely good, and the music is such a huge part of the game.
Thank you for releasing these wonderful videos

[The_Splatgoon]

Truly a masterpiece. Cupheads soundtrack was something else.

[Rendoku]

One of the best “boss battle” pieces in a loooong time! It’s in my top favs among soundtracks from FF, Destiny and Legend of Zelda!

Also, as a trombone player, it makes me so happy to hear them so wonderfully in this!

[ZippyGiggleFanny]

MORE CUPHEAD CONTENT! AND ITS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS IN THE GAME!
