Feel Fighters
This comment cannot be allowed to go unnoticed!
Honestly. This video sent me back in time.
I need to lie down. :'(
😅👍
😂
OMG can we have a whole album of the Feel Fighters, PLEASE?!
I would argue that Everlong is already an emo anthem without being an emo song. The lyrics of wanting a moment to last forever is emo af.
It was, without the typical emo music influence. Now it is!
I would say almost Emo…. The original is a little more loud and harsh which is more rock… this version is a bit more emotionally soft (Emoish).
I do see what you are saying though ❤😊
I concur
Lyrically, you're completely correct.
Carrying the weight of your best friend's wife murdering him makes most people pretty emo.
There are now 3 acceptable versions of this song to listen to:
Everlong - Foo Fighters
Everlong (Acoustic) - Foo Fighters
Everlong - Alex Melton
💯 % Agree
You ever heard the version from Evergreen Terrace?
The Color Morale does a great version too
Unironically your forgetting Rick Astleys cover XD
Was going to say lol Rick's version is awesome too @@DarkKnightroolz
I know I'll get buried in the bots, but this was probably the best I've felt in 10 years. You just gave me a portion of my spirit back.
I absolutely agree. It struck a thing, gave me a feeling, that I nearly forgot about
Couldn't agree with you more man, embers got a little brighter 👊
@@Macson32brighter embers baby! That's what it is! If we could all just stoke that fire back up like it was 10 years ago, all the time...
can relate brother... can relate
Not alone my dude! 🤘🤘
I feel like Dave Grohl would respect tf out of this
this is basically the acoustic version speed with production
I thought what a great tribute for Taylor.
You mean the guy that was in Nirvana and actually wrote this song?
@@ThePxj obviously. wtf was the purpose of this comment?
@@knd775 after everything DG has seen and done, you think he’d ‘respect tf’ out of someone doing an emo cover of one of his songs? He’s a nice guy and I’m sure he’d enjoy it but I think it might take more than this to earn his respect…the guy has shared stages with some of the best musicians of al time.
This mashup of styles gives me levels of nostalgia I didn't even know I had
Homesick for a place I’m not sure exists
@@JSDuncan2113 Hazy memories of a place you've never been.
Same here.
Everyone focusing on the drums, but the thick bass makes this cover 🔥
Just commented this after watching for the first time
"If Hawthorne Heights Wrote Everlong" .... This goes go hard Alex. I hope the Foo's get ahold of this.
Hilarious! And true which is why it’s so funny to me 😂
I hear Armor for Sleep lol
Thursday
My first thought. Alex sounds good, but this version is a perfect match for Hawthorne Heights.
Nfw, this is "If Mae sang Everlong", hands down.
I want to play in a band that plays music that sounds EXACTLY like this.
You'd probably like Movements then.
@@ADunc10 - Nailed it.
Dew it
Sams here
I’m a drummer and always appreciate your half time bangers. Your feel, fills and general hi hat bits in this one were 🔥
I second this!
@@ZH-fp9oj Third!
Easier on the arms
Same stuff on every song though
I’m a guitarist i and appreciate the heck out of half time…lol…anytime my drummer switched to half time I have to turn and grin and he’s knows exactly why! Lol…love it!
and here i am 3 hours in to the Alex Melton Rabbit hole....
I love the original but I really like this too. It's so well done -really nails the whole mid 2000s "verb the noun" band style.
You could say this version is by the famous 00s band "Fight the Foo"
What or yew talking about 😂
brilliant reply@@mirkomattiuzzo5223
What is verb the noun band style

I feel like we're all here for the beginnings of something bigger
thats what she said...
@@MrMatt713 haha
I hope so, I feel like I missed the whole transformation into what's going on with this channel now - like missing the purpose and intro but loving the spontaneity of just going with it in the crowd
To me, Everlong is on the very short list of songs that should never deviate from its original form, as I feel it's damn perfect the way it is, but I do have to say, I LOVE this version. Well done, sir.
I feel you, from what i've read, Everlong was a very close and personal song for Dave Grohl, which is why when he couldn't find anyone he sees fit to play the instruments to this song he just like "fuck it" and play all of the intruments himself during the original recording of Everlong
Dave Grohl's acoustic solo version is great as well
I agree, thankfully this cover is faithful, not many transformations going on here... The song is already an 'emotional' anthem
What other songs r on that list for you?
@@reubne6547 found the playlist on his channel ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html
As a 90s grunge kid, I must say this version rocks. Loved it.
I'm a 3rd year music college student, I play bass and guitar... A few months ago I broke one of my fingers in several pieces in an accident, had surgery and i'm in therapy now. They say there is a chance that i could play again but that i should be prepared for the worst... Honestly i've never been so afraid in my life and i cry to this song every day.
If anything could ever be this good again...
Not that it matters much, but I love and believe in you
Yeah! You can do it!!! I believe in you too!
Use alternate tunings, fingerings, picking fingers, anything! Your new music will be more unique than you ever imagined. Keep the faith!

Def Leppard drummer
I believe in you friend
have you seen the video of a guy who lost both arms and learned to play with his feet? dont give up bro
Unreal man. Everlong is one of the greatest songs ever and you absolutely made the foo fighters proud with this rendition. Taylor is smiling right now. Thank you.
Taylor is dead
If there was only one song left for the rest of my life: it would be Everlong for sure!
@@jottrockt5148 i guess you could say, you wished for everything to be this good forever.... *ba dum tss
I agree and this interpretation keeps the feel of the song, but makes it stand alone also.. and depending on your mood.. the original or this one will get in the feels at the right time..
I legit was just thinking this. I would have put everlong in the caregory of "should never be covered/done different " but i would have been wrong after hearing this version
Alex is leveling up like freaking crazy. What content
He's getting too comfortable
@@daltmac182 Why too comfortable? Not sure i understand what you mean.
such guitar
art*
I remember when his videos was just himself, 3 duplicates holding different instruments, and his room as the background. So proud to see where he’s gone 🥲🥲
This violently ripped me back to high school and simpler days before I had to do grown up stuff. Man, such a great nostalgia trip.
Seriously dude…you NEVER miss. I haven’t been disappointed by a single note coming out of you and this channel.
Can't wait to see Alex playing all the instruments live.....simultaneously!
I don't feel like you get enough praise for your production skills. I record and mix all my own stuff and have been doing it for a couple years. I can only dream of my tracks sounding as good as yours.
This is my absolute favorite song and I was worried for a sec…but this is now my favorite version. Holy shitttt💙🥹
This is nuts. I was expecting this to be a bit, but this cover is a total banger.
As a huge Foo Fighters fan I enjoyed this version, sounds great.
Song starts at 1:34.
Wish there were background screams to complete the feel, but this was unbelievably good. I couldn’t stop listening until the end.
this part....add some backing emo screams and this goes over 9000!!!!!!
Does anyone actual listen to his bass playing, the man can sit in the pocket or stand out, he always has killer tone and tasty chops. Underrated channel need to get him to a millie for sure
This is VERY good. A perfect cover. You captured the original and the emo genre simultaneously. Just ... just very good. Thank you.
I love how the skits remind me something straight out of a Skate 3 or old Tony Hawk game when you accept missions. Not to mention this song has elements of like all sorts of pop punk bands. This has some State Champs, Basement, FYS, Taking Back Sunday... He's accomplishing putting ALL of pop punk into one here. Unbelievable.
I thought I grew out of my emo phase, but hearing Alex's emo version of songs makes me relapse...
Ha ha, so true!
it was never a phase bro you know this in your heart
It's not a phase
@@mex55 Facts.
I thought so too but then I discovered Alex and Matt Cutshall. It's not a phase apparently
You went unbelievably hard on this arrangement. And the drums fills towards the end… shooo
the foo fighters are a sacred band for me...and i gotta say...you absolutely NAILED this. the best era of music (imo) combined with one of my favorite genres...how could it go wrong?
i feel the same about the Foo Fighters, my favorite band of all time.
@@STP-xg3tc FR
100% here for this. One of my favorite songs done in half-time emo style.
Sick. This sounds like Finch!!
Oh my god I loved Finch! Thanks for reminding me! I saw them live when I was a teenager and it was magical
Bro. Great job! I was not expecting this quality when I clicked.
This is my favorite cover of Alex's. It really feels like he made it his own.
This (Everlong) is my favourite song. Like, ever. As a career musician I'm always fascinated by the different ways to express and present Grohl's amazing zeitgeist-anthem. This is up there among the great interpretations and does the composition the justice it deserves and respect it demands. Great work.
Holy crap, this is perfect to stare out the window at the pouring rain outside and be sad to.
RIP Taylor
its almost as if emery or plank eye wrote it.dude so good! I love your stuff. the amount of work you put into rewriting these songs is incredible. as a multi instrumentalist myself, I respect your hustle bro!
I don't know you....but anyone that gives a plankeye nod, is an ally in the world.
As someone else who does covers, I really appreciate all the effort you put into full length song covers, especially when you could easily just pop out 20 seconds of a cover and be done with it. Solid.
This might be my favorite cover/reimagining you've ever done. It really nicely walks that line between the original and novelty!
Alex, in all seriousness, you are insanely talented man. You are so so good at what you’re doing. Love the work. You are rocking it man.
Man... No words to describe how cool this song is. Everlong is one of my fav songs, and I was quite skeptical when I saw the video tittle, but dude, you have an amazing talent. I love this version, and honestly I would love to hear it on spotify or any other music platform. Thank you so much for what you did to Everlong, this version just became one of my fav ever 🤘❤
This is the best cover you've ever done IMO. Insanely good.
Man this has no right slapping as hard as it does! When Alex just keeps on delivering with covers I didn't know I needed!
PLEASE put all your covers on Spotify they are AMAZING. This is such a great interpolation of the song, hits me right in the feels.
Covers and interpolations are completely different
so solid.. I have popped this on a bunch
You sir are a treasure. Truly.
Much love bother
Possibly the best song you've ever done. Everlong is amazing to begin with, and you somehow elevated it?? Masterful.
Alex can take any song it seems even the ones most iconic we are most familiar with like old friends that we could never imagine another way, and reinvent them and still make them absolute bangers hell yeah thanks man
amazing. brings me back to Taking back sunday/ brand new days
You're an awesome composer, man. Blown away.
Alex, just promise not to stop (making music) when I say when.
Foo Fighters has been one of my favorite bands since I was 12. This was perfect, Alex!
I've watched a couple of videos of yours and am both entertained and impressed with your ability to apply different styles to existing music. Well done, SIR.
Delicious on a pretty lovely! Oh love the reharm on the prechorus. Oh, ya, anything to avoid that orig drum part! BRAVO❣
What a lucky time we live where something like this has its own platform for others to enjoy! Masterfully awesome brother!! 🎉
A radio station that plays everything for you live would be insane 🔥
I have an idea. A site on the World Wide Web that lets you search for ANY song and play it when you want to just by clicking on it. 🔥
@@cgonz8 that idea could make you a millionaire...
@@youarewrongdevil1296 I will start learning how to code and also start learning IP law!
In the early days of radio everything was live.
The production is wonderful. Holy cow. This is great!
I think this is my first ever UA-cam comment and this video is more than worthy of it. I have been watching your videos for a bit now, but this one is gold! You really nailed everything about it. Being an emo fan and a drummer myself, you captured the drums perfectly. I’m constantly blown away by your renditions and think you should make an emo cover album with this song being the title track. Very well done!!
I’m honored to be your first comment!
Phenomenal version, nostalgic, epic rework of this song.
That voice and singing at 5:12 would do Dave just proud. Absolutely Immense. Keep adding this and please get the rest on spotify for ease of use on my car journeys so i can Melt on the road
I need this version added to karaoke lists immediately!
I love this song so much. It's musical medicine.
Okay, got a subscriber from this song... The last vocal lines and outro sold it...
Out of all the covers you've done in the last few months, this is one of my favorites.
I’ve been watching you for a few years now and you never let us down. Thank you for the music Alex.
Thanks for adding the time links...nothing against the skits, but I'm mostly here for your amazing music.
What have you done to my sense of memory? You mandala effected me, straight up.
Jesus Christ that first chorus. This shit is actually genius
The subversion of expectation got me so good
I was like “yep it’s gonna hit hard” and then it went soft and my brain exploded. Brilliant, beautiful composition
LMAO!!!! Nothing genius about any of this
Jeremy better be at the Death Inevitable show. I bet Crystal would celebrate a one month anniversary at the cootie hut.
second video i see from your channel, absolutely brilliant.
Crazy, really crazy, so much energy, congrats!
I'd love to hear your story man. How you've decided to just do everything by yourself. You are amazing, an inspiration to everyone!!! That little bouncy guitar riff you threw in at the chorus around 4:17 made me soo happy!!! It's something the Pumpkins would've thrown in. Killin' it dude!!!
shit he should fuck around with a pumpkins song ayyyy
I've been waiting for a Foo Fighters cover for so long, and you did not disappoint!
For everlong?
Thanks for making a version of this song I could like.
Ok wow I just had a flashback to playing this on the guitar in science class junior year YIKES … thanks for keeping this so emo!! Wow … amazingggg
Simply the best cover of this song I've ever listened to...felt just like my teen years and the golden years of pop punk. Great!
5:12 is amazing. Maybe one of your best covers yet!
RIP Taylor Hawkins
Props for knowing about Aynor, SC. I know several people that grew up in SC that couldn’t tell you where Aynor is.
Dude. I've listened to most of your crossover covers, but this is fucking unreal. This might be my favorite so far. I can't believe how creative you are with some of these. This is on fucking POINT man. Well done!
I’ll just be listening to that pre-chorus 2:50 into dropout chorus 3:02 for the rest of eternity thank you.
never realized how emo this song already is until now
One of the best covers I have ever heard
STRAIGHT FIRE!!!! Alex Melton's talent is NEXT LEVEL. I bet the Foo Fighters would love to hear this version of their song too
I liked this video before it even started because I already knew it was going to be a banger and sure enough.....it was!
This is my all time favorite foo fighters song. I was curious how it would go. But as usual you did a great job.
dam this sounds like movements in playing this !! crazy
This has no business being this good
Im pissed. FF has always been my favorite band and Everlong my all time favorite song….and I think I might like this version better. Well. Done. Alex.
behave...
You're pulling up some true nostalgic sounds over an even more nostalgic song. My brain is lighting up over this!
This is the best style switch for me so far!!!
Those pre-verse chugs are perfect.
Don't mind me. Just got a full face of nostalgia in a paint can ... currently floating through memories of college in the early 2010s rocking Rock Band at 1AM 🤣
Everything he releases does this to me like hell!
This came up in my notifications and I literally screamed out loud 😆
Awesome cover dude
This made me really want a 'something corporate does Everlong' video for some reason
I just happen to run into your channel, holy crap dude! Im loving it! Its not a phase, its a lifestyle!! keep up the awesome work man! i only wish i would have stumbled onto you channel sooner! much love!
Alex doesn't freakin' miss. Excellent as always!
GONNA MAKE A PLAYLIST OF ALL YOUR SONGS AND CALL IT " DESTINATION MELTON" THANK YOU
My only regret, is not finding this channel sooner. Nothing but bangers, man! Please don't ever stop and keep up the good work!
Dude, I just found you while browsing UA-cam at work and I'm so glad I did. This is amazing and I subscribed right away. Keep up the good stuff!
