Maybe because he's too sophisticated and clever. Other mash-up artists are clever but obvious or stick to one gimmick. This is full-on wonderful orchestration, piling in everyting you never thought would work. And his titles are always obtuse; getting his name branding in first. He's probably getting more subscribers on TikTok because there it'll say: (eg) Ozzy Osbourne x The Beach Boys (etc) - on YT often you have to listen before you even know what it is.

This is exactly how my brain wants to work when listening to music. It melds 1960's The Who with 1970's Mountain with 1980's Dead Kennedys, with 1990's Kyuss, with 2000's Butthole Surfers, with 2010's KMFDM, with 2020's Sleaford Mods, and somehow comes up with this shit. Carryon Motherfuckers.
DJ Cumberbund is one of the best Mashup RUclipsrs on this site hands down.. but beyond that he doesn't just mash up two songs. He produces a whole new sound. Keep it up bro love your stuff
I just realized today that "through the fire and the flames" starts with "on a cold winter morning" and "hotel california" starts with "on a cold desert highway" and it's perfect. Perfect. I hope at least a hundred comments on this video are pointing this out. Also when I was listening to the Dragonlance earlier when I realized it I was fully expecting elements of this mashup to occur and they didn't. You've taken over!

I read the title and thought "there's no way these songs mix together" And yet, here we are. You are an absolute musical genius of unprecedented brilliance.
I have adhd and tourettes and my brain has been driving me crazy here lately from stress. I've been on a backhoe all morning jamming to your tracks and I feel my brain course correcting! Thank you! I didn't know I needed this in my life bro.
Oh damn, I think this was the first video I saw by DJ C! Dragonforce - Through the Fire and the Flames Innerpartysystem - Don’t Stop The Eagles - Hotel California Destiny’s Child - Say My Name Think I got everyone…
Long ago, a person decided to mix bread, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, a grilled steak made with minced meat, pickles and cheese, creating the first hamburger. Only someone as brilliant and forward-thinking as that person could understand the quality of Master Cummerbund's works. The Sky is the Limit and The Space is The Place. Oh Yeah!!!!
As with all DJ Cummerbund mashups this is a legitimate masterpiece. It's RIGHT on the cusp of being too much, but it's handled deftly enough that it doesn't fall apart under its own weight. I will say the first time I saw it I almost fell off my chair when Say My Name started. I was NOT prepared.
what a weird comment... This moment absolutely *RUINED* this piece for me, and I can't help but wonder WHY it is included in the first place ??? I honestly think it must have been an error on the author of the vid's part... Honestly, what are you on? O_o Also, who is this "Cranston" ?? You know this is a song by *Destiny's Child* , right? O_o
Can’t believe Don Henley hasn’t burnt down your house for this yet. I posted a Hotel California mashup and within an hour it was banned from RUclips, my flowerbed was stomped and I was forced to swallow my gum. Serves me right.
I didn’t even know this mashup had been taken down, surely because of the Eagles. It’s still my favorite you’ve done. Glad to see new people enjoying it in the comments.
@@SonicDrift1 yeah and that's really dumb when herman li himself got some troubles with his own songs, the internet is just really messed up sometimes mate 😂
@@Derpferdler Don't doubt he got in trouble for showing a butt onstream. Happens to creators all the time. However, he was pissed at Universal for striking his channel over his own music. There are articles about it that you can find with a quick google search.
Above all else, what I love about your mashups is that they embrace nearly all genres of music. I feel like anyone who has a certain genre or artist they hate can learn to appreciate it through your mashups.
There is an inverse of this out there. The Hotel California music with the "Through the Fire and Flames" lyrics. It's awesome to have both version in the world now
@@Triumph._. So I went looking for the song. Sadly, I can't find the RUclips video anymore. I still have the mp3 downloaded. It was called Eagleforce - Through California and the Flames and the thumbnail was a dragon fighting an eagle. All I can find now are inferior versions of DJC's song.
Dude, I once caught myself singing the opposite. Through the fire and flames lyrics with Hotel California music. I forgot because I know shit about editing. It's crazy seeing this, you're amazing.
I am SO happy this is back online. This is one of my all time favorites from you and it broke my heart when we only had the 'vhs' version. Keep up the dope ass work!!!
My dream is for you to one day put out karaoke versions of these songs. I don’t think it’s possible for one person to perform this, but I’d still like to try.
That definitely works for some mashups, but doesn’t work as well for others where the instrumentals are chopped up in order to fit the other song. I will make do though! ❤
I fell asleep yesterday then started to wake up in a half awake dazed state and in my head just randomly started singing the melody to Hotel California over through the fire and the flames. I realized it fit and went on youtube wondering if anyone had made that mashup and found this. Then I heard don't stop by innerpartysystem and remembered I had found that song a few years back and started reading about the band and started listening to that song again. The chain of events that happened makes me think we live in a simulation lmao.
Well, right out the gate you've got "On a -cold- dark -winter- desert -morning- highway" with pretty much identical melodies, and the chord progression and structure are pretty much the same from there
Hear that sound? It's Glen Frey spinning in his grave, and at that speed he'll be drilling a new subway through the graveyard in about 5 minutes🤣! Love it!!! 🤘🤘
Dude to be able to spend a day in your head would be awe inspiring. You never fail to make something interesting and wonderful. Another one of majesty. Definitely in my top 5 of your stuff.
I've listened to everything, and out of all of your music I have decided that dropping in the always sunny crew on the line "relax said the nightman" is your most inspired decision
This is the mash that convinced me that DJ Cummerbund possesses the ability to travel to alternate universes where these bands worked together to produce these songs. I like to try to imagine what the rest of that alternate universe is like. I've decided I want to live in the universe where KISS and the B-52's created Detroit Rock Lobster. Until I learn DJ Cummerbund's secret ability, I'll have to settle for his recreations of those songs.
I am so glad you have the ability to produce this... and so well. I have mixed these two songs in my head for a long while now. I am glad I am not the only one.
Never stop doing what you're doing. It's so impressive. And everyone loves it. You break peoples brains and you crack the biggest smiles when I play your music.
Never has there been a clearer case of fair use. It's not only transformative, it's transcendent.
Finally this song has escaped through the fire and flames of copyright.
Ikr? I missed this one
Through The copyrights and the claims!!
Whoever does their copyright sucks... Herman Li got banned from twitch for playing his own music
And Don is watching!!! And is Flaming mad!!!! 😂😂😂😂
I tested it out on a burner Instagram account and DMCA hit it pretty quick
Therapist: "There's no such thing as EagleForce and it can't hurt you."
EagleForce:
You're welcome. I was the 69th like.
This is a band I never knew I needed.
That's a great name for a band.
Destiny Eagle Force.
Eagle Force Child Systems
"So, what are your tastes in music?"
"It's complicated..."
I live in SoCal, It is 2025 and this song hits home.
I had no idea Don Henley could sing and murder some double bass pedals at the same time. Truly a legend of our time.
maintenance on that fro 2 hands 2 feet all doing something seperately and then singing, thats talent!!
Oh sh1t I hella miss read that 🤣

Reminder to self: read the comments on DJ Cummerbund videos *after* watching them.
When The Nightman Cometh shows up, though....ahhAHHHahhh
Fuck, read it before it could surprise me
I dont know why he doesn't have millions of subscribers....this is gold

What an album.

Randy: Yeah!
RUclips being useless, not notifying me of this glory until 7 hours later.
Well Im listening this today for a first time, so...
I saw the title and immediately thought “oh this is going to mesh *beautifully”*
This may have been the first Cummerbund mashup I watched. Glad it's back
Pretty sure it was my first too. Shows how much he improved, it still holds up but the recent ones are a lot better.

I think others have tried before me
Best I've ever heard so far though friend!
For anyone unaware, the DJ Cummerbund voice over in the intro is actually Mean Gene, which is just fantastic.

DJ Cummerbund is the Andy Warhol of music. Namaste good sir, Namaste.
Holy shit. What a combo of high energy righteous rage controlled chaos. I come back to this every once in awhile when I need an energy boost.
I absolutely love your mashups they’re true mashups and not just lyrics over music to a different song. These are fantastic ! 🤘🏻🖤
An incredible acceleration of the check in to the hotel. Awesome.
How do these two fit so well together!
Not sure what to make of the second half though Lord Cummerbund.
Well, right out the gate you've got "On a -cold- dark -winter- desert -morning- highway" with pretty much identical melodies, and the chord progression and structure are pretty much the same from there
Both songs have a similar tempo
They’re just at different speeds
Everyone's been singing this in their head for years. Finally it's here.
good lord when Hotel California actually popped in I verbally said "OH!" like, dude....
Fantastic. Glorious. A masterpiece.
Hear that sound? It's Glen Frey spinning in his grave, and at that speed he'll be drilling a new subway through the graveyard in about 5 minutes🤣! Love it!!! 🤘🤘
Hopefully this one stays up. It belongs in a museum!
I'm gonna go ahead and convert this to mp3 before it disappears again.
Last minute is absolute chaos lol
The composer of the soundtracks to every fever dream ever... Cummerbund is a God amongst Men
This one is underrated. In my opinion, it is one of your best!
I wish everyone who is here for Innerpartysystem a very pleasant evening.
I found them because of this. No regrets.
Yknow I always thought Hotel California and Fire and Flames sounded similar. Thank you so much for the validation
It was too early in the morning for something so intense for me so I changed the speed to x.75 and it was still awesome.
Why is this so much better than the dragon force version? Love it
This is Hotel California if it was completely literal and the main character had to fight a horde of vampires to escape

For a quick moment I was like “yeah that’s how the song goes” before i realized it was hotel California lol
bruh, legit this might be one of your best ever, that was AMAZING
I cant unhear it anymore.... God....
Oh my god.. Lol
I've become so familiar with _Through the Tables and the Memes_ that my brain anticipates memed-up versions of these lyrics... I have a headache now.
Bro this is pure art
Love the part with Mike Erhmantraut after Heisenberg asks the guys to say his name hahahahahaha
This probably REALLY bother Don Henley, in the middle of the night. And that makes it at least twenty time funnier.
What’s possibly even more impressive than your mashup skills is your video editing. Absolutely brilliant
I don’t know how these songs work being put together but the master of mashups has done it again.
now i want, very nearly need, an inverse mashup. Hotel California instruments backing DF lyrics.
I woke up today with this song in my head so I had to search for it. I'm not disappointed
Mad props for the innerpartysystem addition 👏
I need to hear this in a stadium with massive speakers so I can hear every bit of everything is going on which is an amazing mind-blowing situation
I love how calm the eagles look while they’re performing then it cuts to DRAGONFORCE going absolutely apeshit
Never ask why, only why not! This blew my mind.
Found you a couple months ago, and I have to say you're one of the best, if not the best master of mash-up! Keep it up and rock on!
This is one of my favorite mashups ever.
