“Only shooting stars are actually UFO’s” - Tom DeLonge

[@TheBacknblack92]

Who would win when it comes to getting the government to admit UFO/UAPs exist first? Dozens of astronauts, pilots, military officers, former government workers, emergency service workers, scientists, and normal civilians Vs. 1 strummy boi ---- Say what you will about Tom but he's the one who acquired and released the navy UFO videos which led to the admission of the UAP phenomenon and entire congressional hearings Directly after WWII they admitted they existed, then they realized they couldn't figure it out so to pretend like they had control they started pushing for anyone who talked about them to be labeled a crazy person. Now they're back where they were 80yrs ago by admitting they exist. A lot of reputations were unfairly ruined along the way

Underrated comment right here.

The drum arrangement on this is straight up bonkers

if theres one thing blinks known for, its travis going out of his mind as mark and tom try to keep up

[@veritas3in1]

Seriously, usually people that play all the instruments are usually guitarists first, bassist second and drummer last but you sir are a drummer that's happens to play the guitars

[@Mean_Ol_HD]

Wowzer. I feel like Alex's drumming doesn't get enough credit. It's pretty killer... Although I'm really hoping that those fills weren't edited on the midi-roll after the fact....

[@johnnyboy2364]

In the absolute best way

[@Machonacholibre]

Oh man it’s so dang good

[@zrobinson85]

Love when you do "If Blink Wrote..." you have a great knack for emulating both Mark's and Tom's voice. It's subtle but not lost on me. Love it bro.

[@NickSquaredTV]

Don’t forget Barker’s style on the kit

[@nero91]

Not just the voice. The whole vibe is just spot on

[@mferretti24]

Agreed, so great haha

[@samvakarian]

@@NickSquaredTV probably the thing I'm most impressed with. Everything else yeah of course, but Travis is Travis and Alex's drum parts shows how much he understands music and what makes and artist stand out.

[@thomasmarchese2808]

@@nero91 facts. It’s the vocal mannerisms not just the tone. Knowing how to pronounce certain things dragging out vowels in specific spots. Pausing on certain consonants. It’s all spot on.

You're one of those talents that not only revives interest in a genre, but you inspire people to listen to it that never would have otherwise. Keep being awesome, Alex!

[@simonbruning7747]

This comment. His blink version of semi-charmed life sent me right back into that era of music. Hadn't listened to it for years... Alex is a legend!

[@alexbumpers]

Man it’s insane how good you are at drums. Most people have a dominant instrument but you’re equally badass at it all.

[@ronaldreagan9408]

This guy plays like Blink 182 better than Blink 182 plays like Blink 182 now days. Which is great because I really miss that music.

[@redrangers12330]

Hopefully that will change with their new music since edging was pretty good

[@MissingSinceMonday2014]

Check out our music if you’ve got a minute! We love late 90s / early 2000s pop punk so that’s the kind of music we write!

[@leileleileleile]

this triggers a very satisfying nostalgia/deja vu for being a self-serious scene kid in the 2000s. delightful. this is my first video I've seen by you and what kept me watching was the genuine pleasure and delight in seeing you sing and perform! love seeing someone enjoy themselves.

[@RyanNee]

That drum fill at 2:58 is so good.

[@ApexATL]

Out here making certified bangers every week

[@GigatLP]

Oh my god. Perfect song choice. And insane delivery on top of that.

That post bridge prechorus was the drum beat I was waiting on... When it hit. I was like yep.. blinked it!

[@Elijah31011]

Damn. Every video you put out I’m just blown away by how talented you are.

[@CannaToker420]

The hardcore punk beat towards the end pumped me up so much. Couldn’t resist rocking out

[@edoardocamerlengo132]

This is gonna pop so bad, sounds amazing! I'll be back when this has 10M views. Cya in 2 months.

The first time you do the "all that glitters is gold" bit is just mmm 👌

Bro, that tele is gorgeous!!! Nice arrangement.

[@JacksMelancholy]

Adore your covers, man. Thanks for all the stellar performances.

[@raresoupninja]

i fucken love this way to much good job hell mate you need an award for this

[@Ferretic]

I had no idea what to expect of this, but I love that it feels ... mellower, I think is the right word, than the Smash Mouth original.

[@skillettoast7676]

And that’s why you’re the best KZbin musician

[@amani576]

Alex is such a talented musician, but inside of that he is just a phenomenal drummer. He always blows me away with it.

Okay this just made my day you are a rockstar you are at All-Star in my point of view thank you for making

[@Foxywaterable]

Bro you are absolutely fucking shredding that drum kit lately

[@jaymesromanofski1729]

I'm a simple man. I see Alex Melton do a video where it's All Star by Smash Mouth but if Blink 182 wrote it, I click like

[@Namohs911]

WHAT EVEN IS THIS, ITS SO GREAT. Hahahah, I didn't know All Star could get even better than it already was.

[@joefiscaro2765]

I am not as proficient at any one thing in the entire world as you are on every single instrument - damn - another killer cover

They did this in real life and they called it Boxing Day

Never disappointed by you’re working bro 🤌🏼

That hi-hat choke right before the first chorus… that was on point with Travis. Well damn done. 🤙🏻

Alex -> Serious idea Would you consider transforming some songs by My Chemical Romance or Avenged Sevenfold? Country or Punk versions?

[@Markworth]

Never been able to wrap my mind around a way to make it work, but I always thought Almost Easy would be a great country song given the subject.
