@@NickSquaredTV probably the thing I'm most impressed with. Everything else yeah of course, but Travis is Travis and Alex's drum parts shows how much he understands music and what makes and artist stand out.
@@nero91 facts. It’s the vocal mannerisms not just the tone. Knowing how to pronounce certain things dragging out vowels in specific spots. Pausing on certain consonants. It’s all spot on.
Seriously, usually people that play all the instruments are usually guitarists first, bassist second and drummer last but you sir are a drummer that's happens to play the guitars
Wowzer. I feel like Alex's drumming doesn't get enough credit. It's pretty killer... Although I'm really hoping that those fills weren't edited on the midi-roll after the fact....
This channel gives me the strangest mixed emotions. I don't know if I'm nostalgic, if I'm just impressed with Alex's talent, or if I'm depressed about the proof positive evidence that all the music I was impressed with as a teenager can more than adequately be reproduced by one dude in his attic.
the music you like WAS made by a couple of teenagers in a attic, producers can add beeps dings and echoes but the core the beat melody and lyrics are what you love
What's the word for nostalgia for something that didn't actually happen? Because that's what this feels like. It's familiar and new at the same time. Love your work!
You're one of those talents that not only revives interest in a genre, but you inspire people to listen to it that never would have otherwise. Keep being awesome, Alex!
your "if Blink wrote ..." series continues to be a catalogue of seamless bangers, incredible work Alex, your drumming in particular is just so damn impressive
After watching some of your videos, I am impressed. You are very talented. When talking about Blink 182 it's really impressive... you not only got their soul on your covers, but also your voice is very similar to them. Outstanding job.
This is absolutely fantastic. I love their version because it's SO RAW & emotion provoking and, as my wife put it, the words aren't hidden by the music. *BUT* I also LOVE this version, because the music you made is just phenomenal. You're drumming has gotten impeccable and the effects on your voice, in those certain parts. You've just NAILED "old blink" man. I hope you are proud of yourself. Because I certainly am proud of you. .....this is the very first "if so and so, did so and so" song that I've ever added into my rotation. It's that good. Literally every bit as good as the original. Just in a different way, of course.
this triggers a very satisfying nostalgia/deja vu for being a self-serious scene kid in the 2000s. delightful. this is my first video I've seen by you and what kept me watching was the genuine pleasure and delight in seeing you sing and perform! love seeing someone enjoy themselves.
Take Note, this man is truly a A Once in a Lifetime talent. This is what this looks like this gen. (Crank Lucas is similar) If people could really fathom how many interlocking talents projects like this take to create, they would lose their mind proper in your presence, bruv. Please keep it up. You've a solid fanbase and we're busy doing our part to grow it. ✌️
I have never liked the original version of this song. I always hated the sound of it. Your rendition actually made me love this song. Seriously. Amazing job, guys.
I know that we're only seeing short, 3 minute versions of songs, but I'm so grateful for all of the days and hours you put into this dude. Bringing a ton of joy to me and my family! Keep it up brother
Bro, I don’t even know what to say about you. You’re wonderful and supremely talented. I always thought about songs being played differently and you’re bringing it to life for me. We are all very fortunate to have people like you. Listen to those lyrics man and keep making magic. Music is multilingual and I know you see that. Keep on rocking bro, blow the roof off this world. Best wishes, Bren
Dude it's criminal that you don't have at least 1 million subs. Blows my mind more than the talent you posses. And that's saying something cause you are hands down one of the most talented musicians of this generation. Oh and obviously, killer job as always. Love from Michigan.
This sounds like it could have been on Neighborhoods. It would be cool if you could do a "If Blink-182 wrote..." in a way that emulates their Dude Ranch era.
Ugh. I remember this song coming out in 97 and everyone just spamming it in the school grounds and thinking years later it would never be this good again. But this reminds me of those times. Wonderful mix brother. Please make many many more ^^
The only thing potentially better than the music (and the artistic switch of it) is the editing of your videos. Great stuff, my dude. Seriously great stuff.
I am a drummer and I am indeed, with the rest of the comments, in awe of your drumming. I have been at it since 2007. What I appreciate the most is how you produce your own videos and play the skills too. That is a lot of work and head space. Props fam
Every time I watch one of your covers, I have this same thought: "HOly fuck, this dude is incredible!" The vocals, bass, guitar, tones are all so good. I can't believe you're that good at drums too. Playing Travis-style like that is badass. You've got it down. Sounds like it could have been Travis playing this but it's all you
Sounds so much like sum 41 underclass hero album!! Crazy how similar even like the half tone mid verse changes reminds me of March of the dogs or even walking disaster
BROOO i love this series where you cover 90's songs and turn em into pop punk i grew up listening to punk and as i got older got into hardcore etc, But Punk is sooo nostalgic ^^ it's always good to listen too
Holy shit. If I close my eyes, I am 21 again, back at The Gorge in George, moshing it out in the pit at Blink. Glad I finally listened to UA-cam's rec and clicked ya. Thank you!!!!
I’m driving and having a shit day, yeah I listen to UA-cam when I drive. This popped off and instant smile bro. Thanks man. Wish I could jam out to this in the gym. Spotify yourself haha
I absolutely love this version - it's such a banger! Good on ya! I'd love if you ended doing something along the lines of "If 3 Doors Down wrote Hurt by NIN" or something similar. Much love

Now they're back where they were 80yrs ago by admitting they exist. A lot of reputations were unfairly ruined along the way

Love when you do "If Blink Wrote..." you have a great knack for emulating both Mark's and Tom's voice. It's subtle but not lost on me. Love it bro.
Don’t forget Barker’s style on the kit
Not just the voice. The whole vibe is just spot on
Agreed, so great haha

Wasn’t that way when we were younger king
No one can reproduce Blink.
One VERY talented dude in his basement
so trueeeeee hahahahah
The emulation of Travis' drumming style is so good.
I think it's what sets his "in the style of blink-182" stuff apart from other people's
What's the word for nostalgia for something that didn't actually happen? Because that's what this feels like. It's familiar and new at the same time. Love your work!
Right and I was like a little kid in the prime of blink-182 and I feel I was actually there and this song was affecting my life

I’m pretty sure whenever I’m bored I just come to thus channel and voila
You're one of those talents that not only revives interest in a genre, but you inspire people to listen to it that never would have otherwise. Keep being awesome, Alex!
This comment. His blink version of semi-charmed life sent me right back into that era of music. Hadn't listened to it for years... Alex is a legend!
2:58 damn bro the range is wild
The years start coming and they don't stop coming. Indeed. You never know if you don't go.
2:08 - 2:20 makes me think “if coheed wrote x” would be great fun
your "if Blink wrote ..." series continues to be a catalogue of seamless bangers, incredible work Alex, your drumming in particular is just so damn impressive
Surely Mark, Tom & Travis must see this clips.. I'd hope so.
Incredible work like always
Didn’t expect you here. Great content from Alex melton and you guys so keep it up.
Calvin and Habs listen to Alex Melton, I'm so happy to know that
After watching some of your videos, I am impressed.
You are very talented. When talking about Blink 182 it's really impressive... you not only got their soul on your covers, but also your voice is very similar to them.
Outstanding job.
I LOVE THIS! You should totally do "If Blink 182 wrote Running up that Hill" I feel like it would work REALLY well!
Love what you do man. Keep killin it.
Man it’s insane how good you are at drums. Most people have a dominant instrument but you’re equally badass at it all.
i fucken love this way to much good job hell mate you need an award for this
Dude… your drumming is INSANE!
we could all use a little change! great video as always. now i'm off to watch shrek for the millionth time, thanks lol!
I can almost hear Mark Hoppus in the first verse and Tom Delonge in the second, just to end singing together in the chorus... love it!!!
This is absolutely fantastic.

That drum fill at 2:58 is so good.
That breakdown STINKS of "Closing Time' and I'm ALL FOR IT.
I LOVE when you do these "If Blink 182 Wrote...." covers! This one totally made my (otherwise not great) day. :)
Brought me back to my high school years lol
Nailed it, dude!

"3 minute versions of songs..."
Thats just the whole song my guy
PLEASE do another Angels & Airwaves one! I’ve replayed the Ocean Avenue video too many times 😹
This guy plays like Blink 182 better than Blink 182 plays like Blink 182 now days. Which is great because I really miss that music.
Hopefully that will change with their new music since edging was pretty good
Check out our music if you’ve got a minute! We love late 90s / early 2000s pop punk so that’s the kind of music we write!
The drums are unbelievable! Total travis magic! Transforms the track, great job! You really are the pop punk MVP

You should have a million subs by now, bro. The Internet doesn't know what they're missing. You're the best, bro
Out here making certified bangers every week
I can picture exactly which part would Mark or Tom sing, and this is pretty insane. Good job man !!
i love your version🥰
this was one of my favorite songs growing up. Great cover man!
The hardcore punk beat towards the end pumped me up so much. Couldn’t resist rocking out
Damn. Every video you put out I’m just blown away by how talented you are.
That post bridge prechorus was the drum beat I was waiting on... When it hit. I was like yep.. blinked it!

Mark sound: 8/10
Tom sound 6/10
Alex enthusiasm 11/10
Keep up the amazing work
RIP to the original All Star. I know he would have loved your cover if he didn't already see it
Listening to this is way too much fun!
I'm in a depressive slump. This helped me have enough energy to get out of bed. Thank you.
The first time you do the "all that glitters is gold" bit is just mmm 👌
Ugh. I remember this song coming out in 97 and everyone just spamming it in the school grounds and thinking years later it would never be this good again. But this reminds me of those times. Wonderful mix brother. Please make many many more ^^

Sounds so much like sum 41 underclass hero album!! Crazy how similar even like the half tone mid verse changes reminds me of March of the dogs or even walking disaster
dudes covers sound more like blink then modern blink does
BROOO i love this series where you cover 90's songs and turn em into pop punk
i grew up listening to punk and as i got older got into hardcore etc, But Punk is sooo nostalgic ^^ it's always good to listen too
I’m always impressed how you get a single coil tele to sound like that.
Holy shit. If I close my eyes, I am 21 again, back at The Gorge in George, moshing it out in the pit at Blink. Glad I finally listened to UA-cam's rec and clicked ya. Thank you!!!!
Spent the whole song awaiting the expected and much-needed half-time chorus but I was not expecting that drop, loving your work as always
What happened to the distinct difference between the Mark and Tom vocals? That was the best part of the "If Blink 182 wrote..." songs.
RIP Steve Harwell 🙏🏼
I’m driving and having a shit day, yeah I listen to UA-cam when I drive. This popped off and instant smile bro. Thanks man. Wish I could jam out to this in the gym. Spotify yourself haha
This is gonna pop so bad, sounds amazing!
I'll be back when this has 10M views.
Cya in 2 months.
Okay this just made my day you are a rockstar you are at All-Star in my point of view thank you for making
This is actually perfect. Sounds just like Mark would.
I absolutely love this version - it's such a banger! Good on ya!
I'd love if you ended doing something along the lines of "If 3 Doors Down wrote Hurt by NIN" or something similar. Much love
Your drumming is getting super tight. I also thought this had strong New Found Glory energy!
Dude I LITERALLY love these!!!
And that’s why you’re the best UA-cam musician
Alex is such a talented musician, but inside of that he is just a phenomenal drummer. He always blows me away with it.
the bridge is what makes it really 182
youre just missing 1 or 2 travis splash hits here and there ahaha
solid arrangement, must be fun to do these
That hi-hat choke right before the first chorus… that was on point with Travis. Well damn done. 🤙🏻
Another subtle detail I hadn't noticed before...each instrument you are wearing a different hat. So smart. Keep it up, man. Thanks for the content.
This is fantastic. You always nail the Blink "covers"
make a whole album like this. i want to listen to this stuff all the time haha
Alex -> Serious idea
Would you consider transforming some songs by My Chemical Romance or Avenged Sevenfold? Country or Punk versions?
Never been able to wrap my mind around a way to make it work, but I always thought Almost Easy would be a great country song given the subject.
Having been watching the latest season of Stranger Things I would love to hear your take on Kate Bush Running Up That Hill!
This is the entirety of Neil Cicierega's first two Mouth Albums, condensed into a single song.
I'm half waiting for Mark or Tom to do guest vocals this is so ridiculously good.
