Someone asked me if this was the best cover of Wonderwall I’d ever heard.
I said maybe….
Definitely
@@YorkshireD1 Most def
@@Blainryd Definitely maybe 😉
whoosh!
@@garybrownlow6359 haha
My dude. I’m 41. Oasis and Blink 182 were huge parts of my life growing up. You have done something incredible here. I can’t thank you enough for putting your soul into this. It’s palpable.
Sum 41?
this is so beautifully written. greetings from germany :)
Right! I’m 41 also and he fuqin killeddd this!!! 🗣🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🥰
You are 100% right...im 36, have seen blink 182 live 3 times and hav to say....IM FEELING THIS 😉
@@waloacme I thought the same
I feel like in an alternate reality this version of Wonderwall definitely defined a generation.
And the brothers liked each other 😢
@@poolhall9632and they played in blink
@@ChadRexloganand they were roommates
Hahahahahaha
@@ChadRexlogan Man I'd love to hear Oasis - What's My Age Again
What makes Alex the king of re writing songs is that he does the whole song. He doesn’t cheap out after the first verse, he takes the time to do the entire song and that’s why I love him so much
I still wish his “if Fallout Boy did Free Falling” was full length
Dedication!
This guy is an internet gem. Never stop
No fuckin' joke!
💯 the truth
This is the first time I have seen Peter leave a comment. I have had ShayCarl comment on my channel, one day Peter will too.
#PeterApproved ...enough said.
It’s like a time capsule of perfection
The Barker beat hitting the second verse like Christmas. You're just so damned talented.
I was gonna say. His Barker impersonation is my favorite part of his Blink inspired covers
@@TheCrab90000 it's so good.
I read as I got a Christmas ad
@@due_consideration903 haha that's crazy.
Preech, that shit felt good.
That guitar tone, those melodic chord transitions, the drums, all of it. Huge nostalgic 2000s era
Me too dude, but now far better quality sound 😉
Sounds like Rocking' the Suburbs from movie Over the Hedge. Haha
know what chords are being used at all?
Such a great Blink 182 inspired cover....it is so good that I can almost imagine Tom messing up the guitar riffs live . Lol
Tom is blink, always has been, always will be. Ana and boxcar both sound more blink than blink without Tom.
Both Blink 182 and Oasis need to be aware of this cover. This is pure talent.
No joke. This is the best cover of Wonderwall I've ever heard.
The best wonderwall cover is by Noel itself in Japan with angelic accoustic version. If you ever heard that, nothing can be the best than that
Ryan Adams version is the best cover
The only one good version of that song
@ᛊᛏᛖᚾ ᛊᛏᚨᚲᛖ No, Oasis owns all rock bands
Cartel wonderwall AOL sessions
Man, you are not only blink here, but the best of the bands around the old blink 182, like The Starting Line, New Found Glory, FenixTx, Fall Out Boy and others.
Congratulations, it is very good!!!
And thank you!
Guitar lines and voice low key sounded also like A Day To Remember
I'm at my mid life crisis and you have literally created a memory that I don't even have but I feel like it should exist... wow I've played a lot of music and listened too tons as well this is something I'm happy my ears had a chance to listen to. Thanks man seriously
Hey bro hope everything gets better for you. You're doing great now
I'm blown away by how good this cover is. It sounds so authentically Blink-182. Absolutely amazing!
true, gave me the blink feels 100%
It does if you say hay listen to this forgotten blink 182 song I would believe you but I can slightly tell it’s not the one singer
My only criticism is the mathy second guitar around 1:52, Blink never did that, makes it sound a bit more Wonder Yearsy from that point on.
Holy shit this is good. It’s like reliving a memory I never experienced in the first place. Hats of to you my good sir.
Spot on !
well said
Yes this!
So fun!!
lol exactly
He is the whole band! Sings, plays guitar and plays drums. Talented!
This guy is a National treasure. I generally don’t care for covers but, all of his are awesome.
I still can't get over the fact that this man writes, performs, records, mixes, and masters all of this all the while making it all look so easy.
I mean, I give you 4 of those. As the songs are already written.
He is gifted
@@jordanmc9015 he rewrites them for these, yes maybe the structure and lyrics are there.
@@ESPonMe Your confusing arranging and writing. If the words are in the same order its not rewriting. He is changing the musical arrangement (which is great). If he rewrote the song, then it would be original and no longer a cover.
It's not complex but he does it really well. A true pop punk master
Damn. That is exactly Blink. Nailed Tom's guitar, Mark's vocals and bass, Travis's drumming style. Well done sir.
he is Blink for real hahahah
crazy
Fuck I think he's way off aye blink legit play the same chorus riff in every song . There is too much song writing in this
You're clearly good at every instrument, but you kill it on the drums bro, good stuff!
It's absolutely absurd how much talent you have.
I don't consider myself an Oasis fan or a Blink-182 fan, but this is honestly one of the best covers I've ever heard. The writing is so unique and interesting, but you don't lose the sprit of the original song for a second. I think that's how covers should be.
I like how this actually feels like something blink would write while retaining the melody of the original song. So many people would just take whatever popular four chord blink so and place the Wonderwall lyrics over it.
I've found that the best parodies are done by those who genuinely love the artists and studied the styles properly in depth to know what makes their sound. Alex clearly is one of these dudes.
@@BirdmanDeuce26 Exactly. I'm so tired of people just going "What if blink wrote _____?" and it's just All the Small Things with different lyrics
@@ryebread117_ That's really interesting. I don't know Blink 182 that well but I definitely associated them with far less complex music than this (not that there's anything wrong with that). Do you have any suggestions for material of theirs which sounds like this?
@@yoosh9034 It's a little difficult considering that this is more of a stylized cover, but there's small elements that harken back to blink, like the abrupt pauses, half-time drum bits, rapid palm mutes, and whatnot. Here's a list of songs that have these moments:
Mutt
Anthem
Man Overboard
Online Songs
Give Me One Good Reason
Please Take Me Home
Don't Tell Me It's Over
Time to Break Up
Violence
These are just some off the top my head. There's also some elements here that he used from live performances, such as slight alterations in singing during the choruses and stuff like that that Tom would do often in performances of Aliens Exist, Violence, and Dammit
That’s the idea!
😂💀
I cried the first time I heard this, 'cause it's one of my favorite songs + my favorite band in their essence of the 2000s, thank you for that.
Absolutely perfect capture of the style - right down to the clean harmony arpeggios mixed into the background of the chorus
Amazing! Blink songs make me feel like it’s summer, I’m a teenager and everything’s going to be ok. This made me feel the same way🤘
This is the most relatable comment I’ve read.
Feel the same exact way.
Damn, the accuracy. I literally recall how I felt 20 years younger.
I felt the same way.
So true
"Alex is really killing it on the drums!"
"OK, but did you hear Alex's singing?"
Keep putting out hits.
I mean, honestly, has anyone sent this stuff to Blink? They have to be absolutely blown away by how good this stuff is!
Started as Blink 182, ended as Taking Back Sunday. Very good!
Dude, you made me feel like a teenager 20 years ago. Best Christmas present ever! Please, don't ever stop!
Same here - good times :)
@@christiangarcia5106 and nothings wrong with that :3. Let everyone have their music tastes
@@christiangarcia5106 did you ask all billion teenagers on earth?
Same! 🙋🏼
@@pythonl0rd584 yep u are right
Drumming is top shelf. Triplets timing and flow are incredible. To do vocals strings and composition and I assume mix…… you deserve the record deal.
He didn't write a song. Anybody can make a cover. People that write great songs are much more rare. Especially songs as good as Wonderwall.
@@Guitarwizardjoinme Lol nerd
@@Guitarwizardjoinme Yeah, anyone can make a cover of a song. That doesn't mitigate the talent and creativity on display in this video. To take a soft rock song, and transform it into a believable Blink song is extremely impressive. Why try and bring another musician down who is just loving what they do?
@@Guitarwizardjoinme Yeah anyone can make a cover. But not all can make a good cover.
@@Guitarwizardjoinme You may be a wizard but this superior cover of Wonderwall has conjured up half a million views. You can cast a spell, but can you spell B I T T E R ?
This is INSANE!!!! You killed it bro!!!
This is Gold. Just the guitar riffs are spot on - the harmonies on those little passing runs are killer!!!🤘🤘🤘
Man, all of your covers are phenomenal but this one is beyond exceptional. The stops on the 1 of the chorus is perfection.
Yeah, these guys are really tight.
@@oakenmaus *this guy
@@FPSLibrarian Sorry. This guy are really tight.
@@oakenmaus Perfect. All is forgiven😅
@@FPSLibrarian which guy? Alex? Or one of the Meltons?
the guitar tone, the drums, the construction, and overall style is so damn perfect.
Makes you realise how bad and easily manufactured blink182 was. Then it morphed into that nu-metal nonsense and for a decade we had to cringe until it wore itself out.
@@dimwitsixtytwelve blink were great man. Just because he can replicate it well doesn't mean it was crap 😊
@@kirkhead94 nah I disagree, they weren’t very good. When I say replicate I mean a whole bunch of copy cat bands sprang up in their wake. Nothing against this fellow, he’s just enjoying himself.
@@dimwitsixtytwelve True there were a whole bunch of copy cat bands that sprung up but no one replicated the sound and catchy songs of blink. Their popularity still speaks volumes. But I respect your opinion 👍
its easy since blink 182 and oasis already did everything for him, he just put it together
This is wonderful. You've captured the spirit of a different time and place. Thank you.
Insane drummer
This guy sounds more like Blink than Blink actually does today.
goldfinger
Big facts
Legend comment
Isn’t it?? Crazy
too true :"(
Lost for words. Just being able to play one of the instruments in this track takes a lot of talent and hours and hours of practice, but to be able to play all the instruments, sing, harmonize, compose, record and produce to this level can only be done by a very special artist. Congrats Sir! My hat goes off to you and I wish you loads of well-deserved success.
No it does not. Piss easy
Guitar and bass are super easy at least :)
@@jallakka7149 lmao aight your turn bro
@@mycotrees Are you asking for me to play blink 182. Sorry but I'm not into that kiddie collage sound. No offense but I never enjoyed it. And yes it is pretty simple, it might sound like a lot is going on but no even less so on the Oasis track. Kudos to this guy for doing the cover tho if that is what you are wet about.
@@jallakka7149 jus let people enjoy things you weirdo 🤍 have a blessed one
You are awesome!! Thank you for showing my gf that pop can ROCK!
Discovered this channel yesterday. Absolutely obsessed with it. Alex is fantastic! Good to see pop punk still alive.
This truly sounds like an extract of one of those ancient "punk goes pop" compilations.
loved those back in the day
yeah except those sucked and this doesn't
I think they still make those.
2004= Ancient.
"Punk goes alternative vol.1"
i think i'm gonna buy one of those drumkits you're making me want one aaaaaaaaaaaa
nerd
Hey, it's YuB! Cool guy
Get one
They are expeeeensive. I want one, too.
Omg I didn’t expect my favorite UA-camr to be here!
Man! Perfect, simply PERFECT! Congrats!!!
Perfect impression of 1998 Blink, love it. Made me think of old 411 skate tapes.
This is amazing. i really miss this style of music. The execution of this was superb!
Same
The early 2000s hit hard, and I miss that shit.
Machine gun kelly dropped a great album in this style just recently
@@youngmoss3983 thanks for putting me onto this. I haven't listened to much of machine gun Kelly but I will now
@@hw664 100% I honestly think that in 20 years the early 2000's are gonna be seen like how the 80s are seen now.
Any drummer should be able to appretiate that awesome bass drum change at 2:24
So great man!
Well noticed. Ty
I was gonna like this comment but it's at 182 and i didn't wanna change that lol
The drumming, the vocals ❤ Everything is so on point!
I am impressed by how good you are at the drums (besides everything else)
Before I watch your covers, I like to listen to the originals first and take a guess at what your approach and arrangements will be. Needless to say, your covers are always way better than anything I can think up.
Thanks for making such great content and congrats on the record deal!
That's a really creative idea!
Haven't even finished the song and I already love it. You're awesome, Alex
Still waiting on that Dangerous Summer cover!
Yaaaaas please do dangerous summers Where I want to be
@@Fearlessly-Kristen jesus didn't realise there were so many fans of the dangerous summer. Alex would do an awesome cover.
'........but I don't know how!' - I LOVE this melody change! Sounds epic! Incredible work!
Your Tom and Mark impressions always get the spotlight, but your Travis impression and the way you set up your songs are actually the most perfect. So insanely good.
This is pure magic!
Straight shoot!
love your work! do you play at all? maybe you should interview Alex as something completely different on your channel?
I love finding CVV random places haha
This needs to played over the credits of an epic movie - brilliant!
Watching this man drum breathes life into my soul
This would be ending credit song to every early 2000’s comedy in the background while they show the bloopers
This is the greatest things I have ever heard.
Viva brought me here
@@danivasquez2441 Me too!
Same
No THIS is the greatest thing ever!!
Amazing!! This guy mixed two of my favorite bands and made it sound like a new band
I feel like the lesson here is that if you turn songs into pop punk they end up sounding like Blink
Nah considering blink doesn't even sound like blink and they're still making the same genre of music... Nah. Early blink was a different breed lmao
@@i_hate_youtube_handles_it_sux nah just nah, totally nah. Honestly, after some thought, I think probably... Nah.
@@c4kefrosty862 bruh.. nah
Man, exceptional job capturing the energy and mannerisms of Travis Barkers drumming style. Just in general this is an absolutely wonderful cover/restyling of this song, and I’ve never really cared for it but I love your version! And as a fellow musician/creative, I know I want to hear this of my work, so just know that this is fantastic and you’re so incredibly talented! Keep it comin!! Also congrats on the label signing!!
Travis never went this fast with Blink. It was what drove me crazy about Blink. It was always 4/4 standard pop drums. I KNOW Travis can play better.
@@djtripnosys the chorus of Dumpweed begs to differ
@@adipsia6154 There may be a few seconds on one or two deep cuts across their entire career. Doesn't change my point.
@@djtripnosys "never" "a few"
@@GuillotineDani "doesn't change my point", "a few SECONDS".
PLEASE put this masterpiece on spotify ASAP. THANK YOU!
As a fan of both Blink and Oasis, i´m stunned...you made one of best musics ever even better!
I live for those half time changes ❤️
I never meant to put these videos on but I can never turn them off
The verses sound like Neighborhoods-era Tom lyrics, the chorus sounds like EotS-era Mark lyrics, and the instrumental (Travis-style drums included) just sound like the best of blink-182 from all eras combined. It's funny how lyrics written by a 90's British not-a-boyband can sound like the lyrics of a 90's American not-a-boyband. Absolutely killed another cover, Alex!
I'm really glad there are three of you, because I want a lot more of these types of videos - pronto. Y'all can share the workload.
Love the double time drums, and love that ending how it’s just drums n bass, then guitar, then it ends
your cover is my wonderwall for today
No wonder you got signed dude, literally the half time drums on the last chorus gave me CHILLS.
Liked before even watching because I just know it’s gonna be great!
After watching it I can confirm it’s great!
Also, Happy Birthday!
After watching it I can confirm it’s great!

This is the greatest and most accurate cover i've heard
you delivered that 'know how' so well.
Damn this was actually really good lol. That guitar riff in the chorus epitomizes the energetic bliss of “pop punk” music.
Artists put their own spin on somebody else’s song. This man puts another artists spin of another artists song. So good.
Brilliant... and what a sound OMG !
I love the fact that Loui C.K joined as guitarist
The level of skill and pure musicianship required to impose every nuance of how blink plays onto another song is next level. Wow you are talented dude. I can’t imagine how much time and energy you put into making these. Record quality remakes. UA-cam is undeserving.
These are always fantastic but this one is so spot on I can’t handle it. The drums. THE DRUMS 🙏🏻.
The guitar work on this, so nice
Would love to see a couple of the drum cams only for a few of these songs, I’m learning some of these and have them mostly down but feel like I’m missing something
As a huge Oasis fan I usually dislike other versions of their songs, but you did awesome job out here! I love it!
They are still a very valid band. They have a new album dropping next year I heard.
Also a huge Oasis fan here. Why do you dislike other versions? I think it's prety awesome other artists play the songs!

Hahaha this is ridiculously perfect! It sounds more blink 182 than blink 182 itself. Amazing
dead on…. coming from an experienced musician and blink fan 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
This is perfect. Just realized how much I miss Blink from 20 years ago
Happy birthday and congrats on the marriage and the label deal man! You’re killing it
mate what a banger, your Blink covers are insanely good. Put this one up on Spotify so I can repeatedly play it 😁😁
Happy very belated birthday! And congratulations on the nuptials.
Caught someone reacting to a clip of this on ig. Blew my mind. So damn talented.
I can’t stand how actually amazing this is. it really does sound like Blink 182 decided to cover Wonderwall
I wish Blink actually made that cover back in the day with Tom's voice.
This is nuts 🥜…..teen of the 90s absolutely loving this! 🤙
I can't help but think of Brian "Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers if he were to take up rock music. Man these B182 covers are so dang awesome!
Fun fact: Noel saw blink live and thought they were pretty funny. Thought their music was like Rockabilly on crack.
🤣😂😆😂🤣
Random connective facts about seemingly disparate people is why I smash that thumbs up on comments xD
@@J4CKWR4TH I love that stuff, too!
This is about the only time hearing “Anyway, here’s wonderwall” would be okay. Cartel did a great version of it on Punk Goes 90s, but it’s still a downtempo version. The pep up in pace certainly made this song much more enjoyable.
Yeah man good old times! The cartel version was great.
@@sebastianscherf8242 Those old Punk Goes albums had some good stuff on them. Not all, but a lot. Punk Goes Crunk was a rare exception, that one was....well, it was a bunch of punk and heavy rock artist covering Rap songs in their style, you can imagine how that was.
your videos bring me an insane amount of joy.
Man really this is a piece of art, congrats bro from Argentina!!!
I mean, all of it is great and on point. But the drumming is really impressive. To be able to say you can play like Travis Barker is no small thing.
Great effort dude. The fact you did everything is super cool, the drums I especially joined. Now inversley, lets see you do Blink 182 I miss you in the style of Oasis :0)
I don't think this exact song will work, because the lyrics phrases and melodic lines in "I miss you" are constructed very far away from Noel's style of writing. Though I don't think it's impossible to find the song in Blink's catalogue that would better work for Oasis style
I love your drumming. The fact you can play all three instruments like that insults me. I'm giving up drumming!! You are awesome!!!
dude has instantly turned into my favorite creator. so much talent
Very interested dynamic going on with the different era's of drumming. From Scott's early, fast paced traditional punk to Travis' many styles over the years. Extremely good attention to detail!
