If Old Blink 182 Wrote "One More Time" (A Blink Eras Montage)

- Aside from my shoddy green screen experiments, I absolutely LOVE how this arrangement came out. So many fun easter eggs from so many of their different eras. I decided to only stick to the Mark Tom and Travis (and Scott) albums, because they have the most distinct character to me, and I know them the best. Hope you enjoy. Blink are back, baby!

Listening to this for the 100th time I can easily say: it's better than the original and probably the best work you did covering blink 182 so far. This is FREAKING AWESOME!
Jesus Christ… I would say that you are crazy talented but this is so much more than that. I’m a 38-year-old guy sitting here with tears in my eyes. The song itself is so powerful but the musical walk through the park of my youth that you created literally moved me to tears. Happy tears. Emotional tears. This is art, brother. This is beauty. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes!
38 years with happy years as well. I’ve listened to this prolly100 times now. It’s awesome. Sounds perfect
Tears*
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”2
38, me too, the blink song brought me to tears, this one made me smile. its strange how its so different is people. Thank you once more
Your drum skills are what make these sounds so authentic.
you totally right, it's the same constant little changes and crazy fills that keep it so interesting. Only recognize it now you said it, crazy 😅
Don't forget his Tom accent!
Went from Scott to Travis real quick.
I agree, and the hardest part to get right!
Is this guy actually doing all of the parts? Some legitamatly sound ripped. Like Mark's vocals from the original song sound like they were used on here.
The "I Miss You" part. *chefs kiss*
The subtle guitar riff from "I miss you" when the verse starts with "I miss you" is brilliant! ✨
0:09 Josie
1:00 Stay Together For The Kids
1:20 Anthem Part Two
1:28 I Miss You
1:47 Down
2:06 Violence
2:25 After Midnight
2:34 Ghost On The Dance Floor
I probably missed a LOT more but these were the easter eggs I could hear
0:00 I think is a nod to Touchdown Boy. Or Boring? The first minute also has parts very reminiscent of Apple Shampoo. There’s definitely a bunch of blink stylizing throughout this haha, some are likely not even direct references.
0:51 the guitar in the background is playing a melody that’s similar to “let’s start over” in I Feel So by Box Car Racer. Don’t think it’s supposed to be a direct reference, moreso reflecting a style change that happened in Enema of the State
My favorite thing to listen to is the drums, as they have the most clear style changes across the blink discography
This is great work mate! ❤
0:30 Aliens Exist
I think.
Definitely has Feeling This between I Miss You and Down.
This should genuinely be included in the album as bonus track.
This feels like an end credit song for a movie tbh
Wish this masterpiece was on Spotify
It's quite funny, you can download it and take it with you xD
its on youtube music
I already got It from the silk road
Love what you did on the guitar when he said "I miss you" definitely really clever! Lol
My immediate reaction was “AND I’M SO SOWRRY”
Where r youuuuuhuuu
01:25 ?
I'm honestly surprised blink didn''t do that in the original version, it seems like a relatively obvious nod
If you notice in Blink’s video, that line was said at a point that mimicked the video for “I Miss You”. Maybe that was their nod!
I hope Mark, Tom or Travis sees this. What a tribute man. You could almost remove the green screen and you could name the era with how absolutely amazing this was.
My exact thoughts. You can hear the eras change and he did a phenomenal job. Well done Alex. I hope the boys see this.
Am shaking and melting, dude please cover full band neck deep wish you were here tq
This one truly shows how deep your love and respect for Blink runs. Amazing work man.
I'm sorry but this is canon now
The way you transitioned into the Self titled era using the words “I miss you” was done so well !!!! You’re so talented man ✨
This is Blink's new song brother. Go watch the music video, it's amazing.
That’s how the song goes lol
@@M3M3D14 You don't get his point. He is refering to the musical transition using a reference.
Yeah at 1:28 after he sings "I miss you" you can hear the guitar from the background playing something similar to the original song.
The fact that you created a version of this song and divided it into smaller versions each to perfectly represent Blinks sound from each album is nothing short of amazing!
Oh and he did the entire composition, recording, mixing & editing and released it in 7 days....
PERFECTLY correct
All it takes are a few small things to make something great.
Wtf is "wrong" with you?! It's amazing
I just saw 30 years of my life pass before me in one song. I am a 40 year old man who is currently crying like a kid. You're a genius man ! Thank you for this masterpiece.
I’m 40 as well. Couldn’t have said it any better. Just incredible.
39 in a month, same... grew up on blink especially and they will always have a special place in my heart..
Im 33 greetings from Bolivia.
@@golfbbqandwatchesexactly the same here, also 40 this year. This feels like someone distilled my childhood into one song. Unreal 🙌🏼
This dude has mad chops in every thing. Like you typically see a great guitar player who can't sing, or a great bass player with minimal drum skills, or any combination of the like. This dude legit holds his own on every instrument, and vocals, and arranging/songwriting. He's like a musical polymath
He's also a producer.
Is it this easy to fool normies??
One man band
WHAT!?!?!? That is BRILLIANT. Someone HAS to ger you and your mix in front of the band. This is BRILLIANT!!! What an incredible, tour worthy rendition!! Just WOW! For the 1st time in yrs, UA-cam recommendations brought something remarkable. Congratulations, truly incredible work. Truely
This is the internet... odds are, they've heard it already
FYI, this guy always has great videos. He loves Blink, but he covers millions of other songs too (and has some of his own), and will do unique renditions of them (like if a certain Blink song became a country song, or if a certain country song became a Blink song, or if a certain song was played at a slower - or faster - pace to give it a different vibe, etc.). He's super talented and creative.
Welcome to Alex Melton aka the GOAT of youtube music covers. He has plenty more where this came from!
Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar(s), Timing, phrasing, tone. all amazingly on point. this guy should mix the next Blink 182 LP. awesome
Was thinking the same thing!
1a
This single song just blended a lifetime of nostalgia for me.
Have you actually watched the official video? There's a bunch more nostalgia on the backdrops.
damn straight, the intensity of emotion I cant say I have felt since I`ve grown older, its weird how it just floods back with familiar music like this.
Mark, Tom and Travis need to see this video and let you hop on stage at least once on tour. This sounds like everything from Dude Ranch and Enema of the State. Having listened to this song on repeat since it was released this song pays homage big time!
Aren’t they technically “old Blink” now 😜
You killed this cover!!
Yeah they’re “old Blink” now. Better call them Blink then…
With the two new songs they put out, it truly is old blink at this point. Like, to the point of bringing friends who loved blink, loved each other, but fell apart for one reason or another, back together. blink did something magical with this song.
Yea, more like "Middle era blink" .. old blink is Buddha, Cheshire cat and Dude Ranch. However, excelent job!
@@felixuy87I think he means they are all old.. Lol
I’m going to watch just one more time…
And how many times has it been now?
@@Lady_dromedayou miss the joke
@@rafaelrolino i realize that now 😅
😂😂😂😂 bravo.
Back again,
GODDAMN the drums (and vocals) sound so good
Holy shit, dude! You really killed this one!! Any blink fan looking back into your childhood after hearing this, This Is IT. The best childhood ever!
You weren’t there for the 80’s if blink was your childhood, you missed the best time in music to be a kid. That said, when Blink came out it was a shot in the arm for Pop Punk.
This is really impressive mate, how you've gone through the Eras perfectly, with the song tempos, and the guitar riffs fit with each era perfectly
Holy shit dude. Nobody said make 5 versions of the song, each one equally amazing. Incredible.
I'm SCREAMING!! WHAT IS THIS INSANE SORCERY!!!?? JESUS!
this is absolutely unreal. definitely one of the coolest covers i’ve ever seen on youtube. so cool how you incorporated the different blink eras. you’re an inspiration homes
Oh. My. God. You never miss. This manages to capture the emotion of the song and the joy of hearing it in all the different Blink styles. You just rock. Hands down.
the drumming is top level here. awesome cover friend!!!!
These drum fills are sick. I never get tired of watching you play as Blink.
Alex, that was amazing. I was listening to the original last night and wanted someone to do a cover but in retro blink style. Now I have both versions for my playlist
Need to start a petition to get a Blink to have Alex open at least one show.
Ok, clicked on random video cause it was 6am.... DAMN GLAD I DID!!!!!!! Started with 1000 miles and got here and found you on spotify. Damn good!!!!! Can't wait to hear more!
It's amazing how it marks every style of each album in every part of the song, the images behind the albums tell you what sound style it's playing, depending on the era of each album. Something incredible.
2:41 ALRIGHT ALEX DANG
Yo I didn't know YuB watched this. You should make more Blink-182 covers. Something from Dude Ranch. Love your content!
the last yubreddit vid he did in the backyard (backyard gang btw) he did a cover of feeling this but it was about memes and stuff@@Xman_0957
of course you saw this. also yub i love you. thanks for the help over the years if you see this
Old blink but with modern recording tech. Great cover!
i love this more than the original and its 1 guy doing everything instead of 3 guys and a crew of engineers and techs. just simply phenomenal. i hope Blink sees this and starts incorporating a faster-paced sound into live performances of this song. i started crying when the half time came in for the take off your pants and jacket part. you truly are amazing Alex and for the sake of nostalgia, please dont ever change!
As a musician for 25 years man this dude is fire
This is the ultimate Blink 182 tribute 🔥💯
I genuinely have no idea how you get this stuff done so quickly - absolute fair play, mate 😂💥
Bro normies are wild with this praise
It's supremely rare that a cover is on par or better than the original. Hurt, The Sound of Silence, Zombie and this are examples in this elite category. This is EPIC. Well done man.
bad wolves cover is shite and does not surpass the original.
Alex, you just did this song the justice it deserves. This one is for the OG fans. Thank you.
From a 20 year Blink Fan, This is Absolutely Amazing! You Nailed everything, the styles and details. Thanks for making this Masterpiece! 👏 👏 👏
I love how he was acting like / mimicking Travis at the very end of the video. Flawless execution and song! Well done!
I was so upset when I first heard this song because it was so slow. It's good, but c'mon, I wanted Blink 182. And then, Alex drops this. Thank you! This has to be one of your best works so far.
The moment this song dropped I just KNEW Alex Melton's next video was going to be something along the lines of 'One More Time But It's Old School Blink"
Absolutely SPOT on. Blink is ALL I listen to and you got every era PERFECT.
Holy fuck dude. This shit needs to blow up. Perfection 🔥
Seems impossible that one person could produce a cover that captures so much feeling and sounds more like the band than they originally did, but Alex done that here perfectly. Kudos to you brother. Definitely listening to your cover from now on
Been racking my mind on who blink182 sounds like now???
Great job! Knew I wasn't alone in craving this sound😂
You literally play my teen era with a difference and your also awesome at doing it. Studio quality and excellent playing. Deserved so much more recognition
Alex once again proving to be my favorite music follow on UA-cam. The skill and understanding to pull this off within a week of the song releasing is phenomenal. Always a pleasure. Great job.
This is so amazing. Dare I ask blink-182 to record One More Time one more time?
Incredible..
These covers are not just cover.. completely changes every cover. New guitar, New bass, New drums. All new music.
That is bloody talent.
Outstanding.
And this cover is bloody awesome. 🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻
I really loved this new song when Blink came out with it but WOW. You really outdid yourself with this one, it sounds so good!
Wow! What a cover! I can't say more than what has already been said in the comments. I, too, hope the band sees this and appreciates the time and care you put into this.
BRO WHY DOESNT THIS ALEX HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS??? THIS IS GOLD!
Dare I say it, this is how blink should have done it. Nice work dude, this is awesome
Wow, dude, this is like a mash up of all Blink 182 best songs from the first albums to the last ones. AWESOME.
I usually don’t like covers but sometimes a cover really uncovers what a completely different way of taking a song in. Congrats on making such a good cover. I like it better than the original!
Everything about this is perfect. Completely nailed the "old Blink 182" sound and vibe. Almost forgot that I was listening to a cover.
Still rocks as hard as the first time i heard it. Amazing work, sir. It's simply amazing.
This is simply awesome! I think you know blink 182 better than they know themselves
As a Blink fan from years ago, all I have to say is: thank you. This is gold 💯👌🏻 brilliant 🍾😎 let's say cheers for that!
Holy fuck dude, I'm absolutely flabbergasted. This was insane, I didn't realise what the title meant until you started playing the song in every single blink album.
It's played exactly like they would've played it. Keep up the insane work bro, I'm definitely subscribing!
This is a great tribute for Blink182 and Blink182 fans, thanks for this, it’s beautiful and made me cry 🥹
And you’re going de be rich, cuz’ I watched it for a million times haha
From Brazil 🇧🇷
Man, I hope the band sees this! This sent me back to high school. Killed it!!
This sounds more Blink than Blink. Well done, sir.
Bro this song hurts me so much.
This song came out when we lost our friend. Two/three days before the last time we saw him in the hospital.
One of his favorite nands was Blink. Wish he got to hear this and the original.
You did this song justice. 100%
Not to take from you but to relate to what you are feeling, I lost my little bro a few weeks ago. We were close and grew up with Blink. It really hits HARD when you are grieving. Not even in a bad way, though it does hurt, it's almost addicting to put on repeat for me.
@@matthewpresley8060brother, loop that shit. He’s alive in your heart, and I know you hear him singing along when you blast it.
FANTASTIC! I loved the banners changing but also the instrumental key changes as well. Nothing but mad respect from one Blink fan to another.
Alex, you have absolutely out done yourself this time. I cannot believe how closely you have captured the sound of Blink 182 through their progression over the years. Coming from a guy who has been listening since the debut Cheshire Cat and beyond I am floored!!!!
Absolutely incredible all the love in the world to you my good sir.
I love Travis, but I’m an old Blink fan from the mid 90’s. Your drumming style for this song sounds so much like Scott’s. Bravo, sir!
Bro this was absolute fire! We need more!
The way you're nailing the drums just as Travis Barker would
This would've been great if this was the actual version because of how well it portrays all their sound changes over the years
the smell, the rythm, the double voices, EVERYTHING
You’ve been waiting your whole life for this one! And you killed it! 🐇 🤘🏻💀🖤
Let’s hope Tom never leaves again, but if he does they don’t need Matt because they could have you!
I have a alkaline tattoo and agree
This will be their last album
My eyes started leaking as I watched Blink's vid on release day and your homage to them started it all over again. Perfect.
I honestly can’t get over how fucking good this this!!!! This needs to blow the hell up
You absolutely nailed it! I wish Blink did a cover of this cover! 😂
I could tell when the eras changed without even looking. Amazing job!! ❤️
Well done. This should be featured on Blink's socials if it hasn't already!
This is absolutely stunning. Well done
As a lifelong blink fan, this guy's content excites me more than the OG's! Keep doing you Alex. Nailing it brother! Supreme talent.
Oh man. This is outrageously good. This is exactly what I thought the song was missing. Not that I didn’t like their version, but THIS… Jesus dude. Fuckin nailed it.
This was incredible, dude. Wow. I hope they see this. You just gave us every version of this song that we wished we had. Thank you 🙏
This is absolutely amazing, could listen to this all day.
This is too good!
You completely nail the essence of Blink.
Well done again! 🔥🔥🔥🤘✌
LOVE this! Massive Blink fan, you did this song justice!!
OMG I don’t know which version is better….we NEED BOTH!!! Thank you so much Brother!!!! 👏 ❤ I do want to hear the full version of each era though. That would be Epic.
Dang, you have some serious talent my friend. This nailed it!!
this is literally a masterpiece. there is no other word for it.
Dude, I think you couldn’t made this better. Thank you for this, it was a whole travel ❤
I love this more than the original
You nailed it dude
🖤🖤

2:24 After Midnight
Alex, you are incredible! Thank you for sharing your greatness with us. Blink would be proud!
I was waiting for this and you didn't disappoint!!!
I’m entirely obsessed with the production of this entire video. This is so spot on 🔥🔥🔥
