[@MasonJohnAnderson]

Make your way out to Chicago, and I’ll do my best to get you booked at House Of Blues! I’m an engineer over there. We do a handful of emo nights throughout the year, you would kick the shit out of the DJ’s we have on roster.

[@savethisforlater]

Would you cover Scatman by Scatman John In Blink or another style ? : )

[@nickcosta3004]

If this happens I will do my best to show up and rock the fuck out!

[@josakasi]

Wow!!!!! Your arrangements of everything is 🤯

[@joshuajwitter]

I'm a 39 year old dad with a mortgage... when I close my eyes and listen to your music suddenly It's 2008 again and can't wait for Friday to come around so that I can go out to shows with my friends. Thank you!

[@bowhunterspokane]

I'm you, you're me just turned 39 March 31

[@shadiwon]

Samzies brother.

[@andrewp0tter]

Ditto!

[@olibrown2029]

Same, but 37!

[@BrainsWorld]

Doesn’t have to be 2008 brother! You can incorporate punk into your daily life still, book time off the kids to go to a show, live life the way you want - fk all the pretence of getting older and who you should be. You only get old when you let it happen.

[@JosephHamiltonII]

That drummer is the knees of 29 bees! What a beast!!

[@kidretro3825]

As a drummer myself, he's absolutely amazing. If he's all over the internet, I need to see more of his drumming because he's FANTASTIC. One of the best I've seen

[@drex5160]

Totcho: "am i a joke to you?"

[@mikespadafora4993]

Came here to say this. SO solid.

[@vocalimpactplays217]

Ummm...the drummer CLEARLY wasn't playing the licks we heard for this video...he might've laid them down originally, but good lord is this video the epitome of a fake "live" show - band was obviously prerecorded (rhythm section first, guitars second, Alex last and live) . Not a bad thing, but just wanted to point out that it was clearly recorded in 3 different session - Alex's vocals/guitar/talking was really the only thing that was actually live, and he did that in a room by himself.

[@gibsonax]

I love how he builds through the whole song to unleash his shenanigans at 13:02 lol

[@rgb-plays]

Wow, Alex is going all out for 300k. Even putting on customes that look like real people.

[@AverageTravelers]

When I read “full band celebration” I thought it was going to be you in different outfits like your birthday celebration to yourself 😂… either way I would have been stoked but this was awesome! Thanks!!!

[@joshzaring]

haha same here, boy was that a surprise. Amazing

[@TheMUPPI]

Smooth Mcfly on drums stole the show but the whole band is damn fine.

[@raray12321]

Can we take a minute to appreciate that drummers double kick skills.

[@MrHdtricky]

Most chilled drummer I've ever seen

[@xavierleblanc6051]

Freaking tight drum player !! Let’s try to keep the Melton’s touch through new musicians !

[@drummerboydyl]

Dude, for real. Those fills were unreal and about as intricate as one could ask for while still fitting perfectly.

[@nathanyoung3078]

Congrats on 300K! Man, that drummer though. So tight and clean! I want to see more of him.

[@nexxai]

Seriously - dude has so much presence!

[@zachwilliams2369]

@@NickSmall u got a KZbin dude?

[@NickSmall]

@@zachwilliams2369 yeah I do.

[@matthewkist2109]

All of you are very, very talented. But the drummer....The drummer, man. Wow.

[@JusticeSeeker19]

The drummer is amazing on the half time drums of The Middle! Love the work!

[@fenix182]

I love how happy the drummer is.

[@delfco12]

Can't wait for the 500k and 1mil streams. So glad I found you back when I did. Love the content

[@BloodsCaress]

You're all talented and all of these covers are amazing but the drummer is smooth with it lol

[@madhotdog]

That drum fill and smirk at 12:59 is everything

[@DillonFinnegan]

Being a drummer I normally can’t stand the sound of electronic drums but somehow you made them sound great. And that drummer I think had a lot to do with it. Dudes got chops, well done bud.

[@talisolin]

Roland v drums are amazing. Made the switch myself, wishing I had more cymbals though.

[@xDixonDallasFan69x]

drum packs nowadays sound better than most acoustic kids lmao

[@journeytolight9542]

i'm so happy for being 1 of this 300k people 🥺💖

[@sleepfighter3438]

I saw these dudes live a while back at a local emo night. They killed it!

[@daviesuk89]

Life has been better since finding Alex Melton. Congrats on the 300k sir!

[@thegodofpez]

Congratulations on 300k! 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥

[@biggtoe90]

He deserves it!

[@The-Merchandise]

That percussionist! Wow he's so good! I've been playing for 35 years and can't touch that one bit. What talent!

[@westside1912]

The drummer and bass player absolutely stole this show -- incindary drums with an incredible bass tone. Well done, boys.

[@Anthony-pq4vr]

Guitars sound IMMACULATE, this was such a treat!

[@Mild_enthusiasm]

13:01 he knew that fill was juicy. couldnt help but smile

[@thatoneguywiththebeard]

The waves of nostalgia you give makes me forget about the depression and stress of getting old and every day life. Thanks from a dad who truly appreciates what you do!

[@rawdawgplaysgames8414]

You can tell how stoked the bassist is to get to drive the car during Don't Stop Believin'. I'm here for it dude!

[@jacklowe9957]

13:00 that fill rocked my world

[@merlin704]

As a drummer, love the way the drummer plays. So relaxed and confident in his ability.

[@NickSmall]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words

[@stphac]

This gave me full live performance energy and vibes. Aggressively chair dancing and headbanging in my home. Thank you and congratulations!!

[@MistaWikked]

I can't wait for another milestone celebration! These are awesome!

[@definitelydadda9489]

Ugh that roll @13:02! What a drummer! 👏🏻😃👏🏻

[@NickSmall]

Thank you!!

[@BalaguerGuitars]

Congrats on the 300k! The Espada looks great on ya!

[@fdgjacob8319]

Alex legit has given me the confidence to study music full time even though I have unbelievable anxiety when it comes to performing, but i want to do this so bad. Thanks so much man and congrats on 300K you deserve heaps man.

[@biggtoe90]

Keep going on! Power through your struggles!

[@anthonystefani9242]

You got this. It's normal to feel that way. Excitement and anxiety before performing are very close chemically in our brain you aren't far off from overcoming it :)

[@bradspitt3896]

Just a bit of advice, I would advise to not only study theory, but literature, philosophy, art, architecture, all of it as well. Artistic history goes hand in hand with philosophy; it's a dialectic and understanding all of it is what separates greatness from mediocrity. It will help you contextualize the universal human condition but of course your own particularity will show in your art.

[@REJ3KTZGAMEZ]

Now thats what I call A KZbin concert.... keep slaying king

[@bensonsj98]

The drums always sound so good.

[@katistrophic17]

This is amazing. The energy through the screen is unbelievable. Didn't see an option to send money through YT and was happy to see the venmo come up on the screen.

[@nickjackson8594]

Incredible show, sounds insanely clean, great work all round! Drummer is next level

[@gradamz5200]

drummer is sick - rip it up dude!

[@ATreeForFive]

That drummer delivers the goods 🔥

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

Damn...that drummer!🔥🔥

[@Chyeaahbrah]

Freakin love rewatching the last few milestone vids on repeat, happy to finally get on here as it’s premiering!! Congrats man, constantly blasting and sharing your originals and covers 👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻 Super eager for what’s comin for you man!!

[@OPAIK]

I fucking love the drummer. He is vibing so hard and playing everything perfectly. The rest of the band is too but drummer stood out. Alex we know you win so therefore I didn't mention

[@NickSmall]

Thanks so much for your kind words!

[@tamberjune]

I love these subscriber full band shows. I wish i lived in SC or had a ticket there hahahah! Have fun!! I'm so glad for y'all!

[@camsmediacorner]

The fact that I’ve listened to your covers so many times on Spotify that I don’t even remember what the originals sound like anymore……I’m happy to be here.

[@robsaag3998]

Holy shit that Paramore cover... And half-time ATSMT? Who knew it would go that hard??? Alex is the GOAT.

[@taylorrobbins7184]

Youre officially my favorite person on KZbin man. Keep it up.

[@ShoelessJP]

Y'all are so damn talented, I am so happy I found your channel. I'm going to throw a few bucks your way.

[@sammarshall6337]

It ain't the same as Alex and the meltons... Its an evolution and I freaking love it!! Congrats on the growth both on subcount and the ability to have the live band!!! Big love x

[@suburbanindie]

I was WAITING for Mr. Brightside. I knew a halftime version was cooking. I just KNEW IT

[@peder168]

Congrats man! Been watching for two years. Love your rendetions, love the band.

[@timsemeniuk2246]

You are by far my favorite musician. I look forward to your videos

[@SendStory]

You more than deserve it dude. Congrats times 300,000+!

[@alifhafifi3596]

Very happy to see you perform full band! That drummer is a beast!

[@rageagainst10]

You honestly have the cleanest sound on youtube. The electronic drums combined with a REALLY clean mix just gives your stuff such a crystal clear sound. I've seen your gear demo and your not working with too much and I think that's why - keep it simple. This should be the benchmark and goal of all youtube musicians.

[@razombahato]

Such a great sound. Everything is tight and locked in. Incredible work.

[@eGnasty]

wow... low key you can tell the drummer isn't even trying lol. I wonder what he looks like when he goes full throttle!

[@serenitysoundscapes-2024]

I love listening to your music while I work, it keeps me goin'!

[@katewehrfritz419]

AH just saw you're going to be at Emo Nite Nashville in a few weeks!!! Made my day and it's only 7 am :D

[@MediocreMillennial]

Geez, this mix is 🔥 and you guys are super tight! Loads of fun.

[@mlllan]

Congrats Alex!! 🙌 Its always a pleasure to enjoy your music. =) Cant wait for your new own stuff too ! cheers from Austria

[@ritkid1]

Keep it going!!!! You are killing it! Nostalgia and doing it oh so we'll!

[@Jon_Antony]

[@alexandergardner499]

Drummer is on point!

[@CamielvanVelthoven]

Congrats. Everything tells me you worked super hard for this. Congrats.

LOL, “only one question left…” Yeah, that’s definitely the question I was expecting… But I don’t think I’ve ever been more pleasantly surprised.

1 like doesn't feel like enough for a project as awesome as this

A proud member of that 300k man! Keep that slappers coming!

[@mendoza2489]

Feeling down yesterday and today and as I was scrolling through my KZbin feed this morning your video pops up. Immediately clicked and feeling much better. Music is an amazing drug.

[@tonycorr95]

It's absolutely AWESOME to get to see you go to full-time music in real-time and can't wait for the album. Congrats on 300k! I'm going to the emo night in May so I'll see you in Nashville!

[@wcrb15]

Man I'm so bummed I'm gonna miss the Charleston show tomorrow night. Congratulations on 300k dude. You're killing it

[@R12CRD]

It amazes me how you only have 300k subs. I came across you during lockdown and now your songs are all I listen to. I listen to them so much that when I hear the originals they don’t sound right anymore. I have your whole Amazon prime song list in a play list for whenever I go driving. Keep up the good work and keep the songs coming.

[@emilraehembra4324]

Happy 300k subs brada!! Fan here from the Philippines! Keep rockin' man!! 💪💪💪

[@nestorow12]

Mate, Im so happy to see where youve come. I've been a fan since your Never Getting Back Together cover and its amazing to see your progression as an artist. We have a joke in our friend group that you never miss and its so true, cant wait to see what you dont miss at next!

[@riohagstrom]

to watch you from 20k and now you are here... thank you for giving me amazing work of art to hear and watch... thank you

[@Rob-fg4hk]

Man, that Mr Brightside cover hit different - awesome!

[@CrispysCrafts]

I love all your songs mate. You became the artist of choice during our games nights. We literally have you on loop for hours. Here's to another 300,000+

Congratulations for the 300K subscribers Alex. I love all your videos and I can't wait for your album to come out. I have a lot of your songs on my playlist that I listen to when I work on the book I'm writing, so thanks for the music. Once again congratulations.

[@skankinsamurai]

Close enough for my short trip to my memory lane. Huge fan from Malaysia. You guys're awesome! Can't get enough of everything by you guys.

[@LaugharneMusic]

You got me at the 1st song. PURE NOSTALGIA 👌

[@182Burritos]

You deserve it all bro. I would totally go to your guys' show if I lived there! Congratulations on 300k!

[@pixelclash1242]

Amazing drummer! Amazing band! 500K subs LFG!!!!
