I unironically like Nickelback, all the right reasons was one of my first CDs as a kid, and now I'm into pop punk. So hearing this is a blast of nostalgia for me, and goes SO well as a pop punk song. Fantastic cover, man.
@@Jourmand1r is that sarcasm? Lol If not, nearly every song is interchangeable with the next. They have 89 different titles for three songs. Song structure, chords, and lyrically. They are great at what they do. True. But, cmon?!
Immediately felt the perfect blend of FOB, Boys Like Girls, The Maine, and a little Jimmy Eat World all together, and it was DAMN delicious! Also, my wife (who hates Photograph, mind you) said, “Wow, I can really dig this. It feels like this was the song it was always MEANT to be”. She’s a tough critic, so that’s saying something!
@@deadman7624 Honestly, I hear a ton of The Wonder Years through his stuff, and that’s something I love. I love how so many people hear so many of his influences.
Alex. You have the ability to make me feel like I'm listening to a song for the first time and also something I've known my whole life. I know that's the point of these songs, but you have no fucking idea how good you are at it.
You are seriously one of the best musicians on UA-cam. Your genre bending songs are imaginative & well done. I’ve never not been hella stoked to see a new video out
I was waiting for a midwway segue into "Memory" by Sugarcult-- might be a fun way to play it live. Either way, more incredible work, Alex! Keep 'em coming!
Excellent pick and very well executed! It's nice to see you on drums again (: P.s. I love that the 2010's literally has it's own flavor of pop-punk. Wonder what 2020's pop-punk will ultimately be...
I haven't heard the full song in I think over 10 years. It's been a long while. I saw all the memes about Nickelback and how everyone hates them but I didn't feel one way or the other about it and none of that was enough for me to look at their music again. Hearing this I'm about to go back and listen because I feel like I'm really going to like it. I'll report back.
@@GeorgeS1 pls report back. I loved them back in the day. I loved Spiderman so my first music video was nickelbacks hero as a special feature on the first Raimi movie
That’s so much better than most 2010’s pop punk honestly. You sound like Bert from the used and arranged the heck out of that cover beautifully ❤️ got my subscribe
I heard the first five seconds of this song, paused it and thought "I need to go somewhere private" Time to dance because nobody's watching. Nobody gets to see how hard I rock out to an Alex Melton cover.
My god dude… I’m floored by everything thing you do! I need a Spotify playlist with nothing but you like yesterday!!! Killing it dude nothing but nostalgia as wel
One video was recommended to me. Why is your voice so good? Why haven’t I heard it before now? 4:33 am, and I’m listening to a pop-punk remix of a song I used to love, and THIS is how you remind me
People only dislike Nickelback cause it's a "Cool" thing to do. Their earlier albums such as "Silver Side Up" and "The Long Road" had some great songs.
I just got to say I found your channel by accident in this channel is awesome awesome keep up the great work I love your videos they make my day and they make me smile and need a good mood I'm a good mood when I'm feeling down
Dude, one of your videos popped up for me, and now I just can't stop watching them all. You're awesome! I subscribed to your channel, followed you on instagram and put your songs on my spotify playlist. Cheers form Brazil!
Dang Alex. I was already laughing trying to imagine what you come out with now while I was expecting your adds to finish so you could get a few cents. You're talented and your content is fresh and fun. Keep them coming!
Been listening to your music for the past few months now and decided to look you up on UA-cam. Crushing it with these pop/punk covers dude. Keep em coming!
Would have loved a "goodbye" screamed in the background, like a long drawn out one. Like some old Fall Out Boy stuff. Great adaptation as always! Keep up the good work.
when I saw the title I thought about nickelbacks photograph, but after clicking on it I thought to myself "aawww dang it's probably ed sheeran's version" - when I heard the first few seconds I was happy :))) great job
Stream it on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/6jIb2kcjSk7v59dIQhKeyE?si=EDiwo-6KQe-MKd0U8VjBHA&dl_branch=1
Dude I LOVE your covers. They’re better than the originals!!
Thank you Alex I came across your channel and your music videos are awesome anytime I listen to your songs that you do covers they just me back to my twenties in teenage years make me smile so good mood when I'm feeling down so keep doing a great job
When every 5th word is "remember" or "used to," a song is begging to played as pop punk for that millennial nostalgia lol
Along side “Nah” they are the three staple words of every pop punk song
And talking about towns or where you grew up
Every 5th word? I count two places where he used "remember" and "used to"
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn't let me in
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, God, I-
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say, "Somebody went and burned it down"
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said, "Someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel"
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, God, I-
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Every time I do, it makes me-
Don’t forget graduate!

Everyone gets to be wrong about something. Do you.
Nickelback is legitimately so damn good I’ll never understand the hate
If I unironically enjoyed this cover, what bands should I look at?
most people who hate Nickelback dont know anything about music.

The lyrics are actually quite pop punk, never noticed that haha
Same with the song structure... like this was always secretly a pop punk song
Pop Punk and Rock (at least the kind of rock that bands like Nickelback make) sometimes has very similair vibes.
The only difference is that it's about "i miss this town" instead of the usual pop-punk theme of "I hate this town / let's leave this town"
School, where i grew up, too late, goodbye, remember, listen to the radio, town... very in fact😂
@@x3mbr can't kick up the roots by deep neck is definitely a similar vibe just harder
Immediately felt the perfect blend of FOB, Boys Like Girls, The Maine, and a little Jimmy Eat World all together, and it was DAMN delicious!
Also, my wife (who hates Photograph, mind you) said, “Wow, I can really dig this. It feels like this was the song it was always MEANT to be”. She’s a tough critic, so that’s saying something!
Agreed. I even felt some of The Starting Line on that very last line he sang.
You forgot My Chemical Romance
Agreed! I can definitely hear both!
Definitely getting some The Wonder Years vibe in here too
@@deadman7624 Honestly, I hear a ton of The Wonder Years through his stuff, and that’s something I love. I love how so many people hear so many of his influences.
Absolutely love every reference photo used!
Right!!!
Couldn’t agree more 😂
Gold as always. Photograph was never a bad song, but this version is unquestionably more enjoyable.
I get the chills every time you do one of these pop punk covers. I think I speak for everyone when I say... WE NEED MORE!
yeah I totally agree I wish there was a way to get them on a music platform so I listen to them all the time
@@jeffreyfulmergardner478 they are all on Apple Music and Spotify
Yes!
Yes!
That chorus is a perfect pop punk adaptation, love it. Whole song absolutely slaps
My question is...who disliked this video??
Literally everything Alex does hits fuckin hard.
It's probably some really dedicated Nickelback fans
Some guy called Chad
@@JoshuaPagan last name kroeger
@@madx85 lol
Probably the people who clicked on this to hear a cool Def Leppard cover and got fucking Nickleback instead.
I unironically like Photograph and never clicked so fast on a video. I always thought it work with a bit of screaming but this jams too
And they say that hero can save us, Alex isn’t going to stand here and wait 😂
Alex. You have the ability to make me feel like I'm listening to a song for the first time and also something I've known my whole life. I know that's the point of these songs, but you have no fucking idea how good you are at it.
This one has some strong Wonder Years vibes on it, HE DON'T MISS
This has no reason to slap as hard as it does
this
Me: *headbanging for the second verse*
Wife: tf are you doing?
You could do so much with "Something Like That (Barbecue Stain)" by Tim McGraw as a pop punk song. Awesome job as always Alex!
And to maintain equilibrium, a y'allturnative version of Stay
I keep asking for a pop-punk "Ain't Goin' down till the sun comes up" but no traction yet....lol
@@Rossco139 this!!
@@dameanwhite Stay by Mayday Parade?
@@Rossco139 I am ENTIRELY down for this omg
Dude, the harmonies during the chorus are so tight, and the layering is so punk man I love it! Thanks for sharing your gift with us!
I clicked in not sure whether to expect Def Leppard, or Nickelback.
But i knew either way it was gonna be awesome, and i was right
Me too bud. Winning either way.
I was hoping for verve pipe!
I thought it was gonna be Weezer's lmbo
That second “goodbye” in the chorus with those harmonies… that takes me back.
You are seriously one of the best musicians on UA-cam. Your genre bending songs are imaginative & well done. I’ve never not been hella stoked to see a new video out
His calico cat is the icing on the cake!!! 🥰
I was waiting for a midwway segue into "Memory" by Sugarcult-- might be a fun way to play it live. Either way, more incredible work, Alex! Keep 'em coming!
Excellent pick and very well executed! It's nice to see you on drums again (:
P.s. I love that the 2010's literally has it's own flavor of pop-punk. Wonder what 2020's pop-punk will ultimately be...
This is so sick, man. I’m constantly blown away by how good these covers turn out.
Alex has a gift some might consider to be unnatural he clearly didn't learn this power from a jedi
Expected the Def Leopard song, but this was amazing. Honestly, every Alex Melton video I see blows me away. He's awesome.
Why did this make me cry so much!!! Wow dude…well done. Much respect
Alex’s friend: “Bet you $100 you can’t make people like a Nickelback song.”
Alex: “Where is my money?”
Gets paid before he composes the song.
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha 💯
Everybody hating nickelback knew all the words before hearing this awesome version lol
It's just like Taylor Swift. Great songs... that are even better when someone else sings them lol
@@dameanwhite Same for Billie Eilish
I haven't heard the full song in I think over 10 years. It's been a long while.

@@GeorgeS1 pls report back. I loved them back in the day. I loved Spiderman so my first music video was nickelbacks hero as a special feature on the first Raimi movie
That’s so much better than most 2010’s pop punk honestly. You sound like Bert from the used and arranged the heck out of that cover beautifully ❤️ got my subscribe
You’ve elevated this song to a whole ‘nother level bro!!! He’s done it again!!!
This is unbelievably good, dude. This is gonna blow the fuck up
When the covers are better than most real pop-punk songs. More please
This is my FAVORITE Wonder Years song! I'm telling you guys, this should've been one of the singles in The Greatest Generation!
Only Alex could make Photograph a good song, great cover my man!
I heard the first five seconds of this song, paused it and thought "I need to go somewhere private"
Time to dance because nobody's watching. Nobody gets to see how hard I rock out to an Alex Melton cover.
This just feels right. You've singlehandedly rekindled my love of pop-punk. Love your channel.Great work man.
Infinitely better. The double-time part was fantastic. Keep on killing it one video at a time! Another Half-Time video would be great!
The lyrics of this song always gave me emo energy hahah, great cover as always :)
You know you're kicking ass when your cover dominates the original :D freaking outstanding!
Everything you touch turns to gold my dude!
My god dude… I’m floored by everything thing you do! I need a Spotify playlist with nothing but you like yesterday!!! Killing it dude nothing but nostalgia as wel

I love that your version sounds so good in production! The original is great as well, but dang! This sounds awesome! Good job on the mix.
Dude...you are just....awesome!
Damn Alex, your jams never miss! I didn't know it was possible to feel multiple nostalgias simultaneously, FANTASIC cover!
The Starting Line type of voice and vibe! Would love to hear this song with some chorus high and low vocals.
this cover blows the original out of the water. One of the rare times a cover is better than the original. Damn this is good.
A Day To Remember - Right Back At It Again
this is proof that every song is better as a pop punk song
this is so gooooddddd
Bro how don't you have more views, these song covers you make are so good.
How are you so good at everything, always? This is class yet again.
That little dance you do at 2:11 is everything hahah love it
I know I'm late, but is no one talking about the hand gestures and face mimics of the "lead singer"? So perfect!
People only dislike Nickelback cause it's a "Cool" thing to do.
Their earlier albums such as "Silver Side Up" and "The Long Road" had some great songs.
I thought hating Nickelback was a meme, I didn't realize people actually did.
I just got to say I found your channel by accident in this channel is awesome awesome keep up the great work I love your videos they make my day and they make me smile and need a good mood I'm a good mood when I'm feeling down
You did with this song structure and tempo exactly what I would have.
Excellent.
This is an absolute banger
Dude .. Damn man you are just so talented.. I absolutely love these pop punk covers!!
This was awesome. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Thank you!
How are you not a superstar yet? Amazing stuff man. Job well done!
your videos always make me smile. thanks for being you. :)
Dude, one of your videos popped up for me, and now I just can't stop watching them all. You're awesome! I subscribed to your channel, followed you on instagram and put your songs on my spotify playlist. Cheers form Brazil!
I think this really worked. Also, the pictures you chose were great. Made me laugh.
Dang Alex. I was already laughing trying to imagine what you come out with now while I was expecting your adds to finish so you could get a few cents. You're talented and your content is fresh and fun. Keep them coming!
That Yamaha looks rad as heck. Love it
Dude. I always thought this song had potential. Finally realized. Well done. More please.👍🏻
I'm getting some heavy The Swellers vibes on this!! Amazing job I love it
That hook is where it’s at! Exactly what it shoulda been in the original! Love the whole creation brother
You really need to go on tour... ill will drive hours to hear your music live
every move of you is like all of my 20's
you make me reminds what I fogot, thankyou
LOL at the Toby Mac picture! Awesome cover man!
Been listening to your music for the past few months now and decided to look you up on UA-cam. Crushing it with these pop/punk covers dude. Keep em coming!
I was so expecting those drums on the second verse, it never felt better!
Beautiful rendition
Would have loved a "goodbye" screamed in the background, like a long drawn out one. Like some old Fall Out Boy stuff. Great adaptation as always! Keep up the good work.
Insane man. Awesome work!
I just love what you've been doing!!! Keep strong my man

I needed this today, and Alex provided. 🙌
You are my favorite music channel on youtube, by far! Well done!
Please continue to make songs into punk rock
love your work man! nice job!
This was so good (as are all of your covers and videos). Now it's a banger
You always have dope covers, but this one is so surprisingly awesome
How dare you make me like this song! I'm going to have to listen to it again now!
One of the best yet. This is incredible.
The Frame tv looking nice on the wall!!! Can’t wait to hear your next cover! Always amazing!
Hands down, one of his best covers.
so good and nice photo selection
I love what you do, man. Thank you for keeping the pop punk alive!
This song works so much better in this style. Nice job.
Yes! You always post the best covers when I need them!!
I hate this song normally but this cover is spectacular. It's so much better. Gives me The Academy Is' Fast Times at Barrington High vibes
Stop it Alex. I can't take much more of this awesome!
Now this is definitely the better version of this song! Love it!!!
