I was actually looking for a different Alex Melton’s KZbin channel. This Alex, however, is white. Still, he’s good. I am having mixed emotions about this song done like this. It seems like there’s “distinct” Blink phases, and he didn’t really stick to any particular one. If he did “slow motion” by 3Eb, in the style of the album with the happy face on it, that would be pretty sick. Or if he did “paralyzer” by finger eleven in the style of Wolfmother or The Darkness, that would be impressive. Or “Mother” by Danzig as though he were Justin Timberlake circa 2002. Lol j/k.

[@pedromaiz88]

this is what I was thinking as well. Those TOYPAJ tones are unmistakable. TOYPAJ has the best mixing from a blink album, in my opinion. Way too much reverb and airy vocals and shit on enema. Mark thinks he's Cher on that album. Also.. I think TOYPAJ was when Tom decided to leave his HB strat behind and he picked up a gibson es-333 for those sick low mids. I prefer a good humbucker on a strat bridge over anything else. But the gibson goes well with tom's later guitar style (lots of picking open chords instead of crazy fast but stupidly simple leads that reminds of certain descendents albums. All, for example) But the guitar he is using here could probably help get a very similar tone. (btw... what is that guitar anyways? An artcore?)

[@mistaMClaugh]

The only thing that would make this cover MORE blink would be if the song was sub 3 minutes

This video was linked in the Morning Brew newsletter today, April 22nd 2023....interested to see view and subscriber counts. Keep putting out bangers!

363 people don’t realize how much RAW TALENT it takes to become proficient at one instrument, let alone 4. Your vocal range and tone alone are hella impressive man; and the fact you were emulate Blink! 182 without going over the top is a feat in and of itself. Tom’s voice is so unique and you really did the style justice.

[@BrunetteGiant]

All of that, plus he edited this thing!

[@heyholetsgo]

It’s the best song they never wrote. Do if Ramones wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit next.

[@NickyNicest]

Now you’re thinking. This could be an awesome series

[@pauldiver2462]

LOVE THAT IDEA!

[@Katherine_999]

Yes, most definitely

[@tronsnow4763]

Ben Perfater - Hootie & the Blowfish version of “On A Plain” would be pretty amazing, imo...

[@TheKing60210]

Yeah. This is wayyy above average. Makes me wish that Blink 182 wrote this song

The thing I appreciate most is nailing the different vowel pronunciation of both Mark and Tom. So accurate.

[@simcityman81]

This brings back so many mixed memories from the late 90’s. You nailed it. Now, do a cover of a blink song (like damnit) as if Third eye blind wrote it.

[@cvalentin96]

Ok but the video says ''If''...this is literally Blink writing Semi Charmed Life

[@lactose_in_tahoe4250]

If this was on Spotify I would listen to this so much, this is fire.

[@BananaNL11]

it is on Spotify

[@sunzusunzu981]

I don't see many people talking about the beautiful blend of Travis and Scott's drumming styles. I can definitely hear Dude Ranch even though this is mostly TOYPAJ inspired.

[@markothwriter]

Blink definitely has a distinct sound - that's in about every song. Just like The Police did.

[@inappropriatecontent2589]

I’d love to hear fatlip in the style of blink, should be challenging because that song especially is so far from blink stylistically!

Yes

listen to a fat lip and feeling this mashup by Jordan lemere

Yes...its definitely much better!

What a fantastically random and heart warming thing to become good at. And you, Sir, are quite good at what you do (playing multiple instruments, mixing that late 90s sound). Hats off. It's a weird project but you're fucking nailing it.

He wouldn't be able to do this unless he wrote his own songs too, he not only has respect for these artists, but the craft in general.

The fact that you're able to independently separate and imitate Mark and Tom's tones is so insane. That's a real fan. Love all of your content!!

The guitarist and bass player look so similar, could be brothers!

[@SamJLance]

02:06 Is the most blink-182 sounding thing you've composed - it's so reminicent of 2003/04 live blink.

[@BenAck912]

"Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head (I Miss You.)"

[@twokharacters]

This is spot on except a bit too technical for a Blink song. Tone down them licks, Travis is the only one allowed to go all out lol.

[@lofidigitalmonk]

Maybe a little of that Airwaves mixed in, too. 😂

[@JayyVee41]

Yeah there is enough guitar there for 6 Blink songs 🤣

The difference between Tom’s voice and Mark’s voice is amazing. I love this remake. Thanks, Alex

Only thing you’re missing is insanely overkill drum fills from Travis lmao

Its more like pre Travis era haha

Or, if you prefer, Studio/Radio Travis, as opposed to Live Show Travis

You actually need Travis to create those

"Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms would be such a good tune in the vein of Blink... Just food for thought.

[@MrCaddySlash]

The Ergs *kind* of did that already

[@Nukum_Smash]

@@MrCaddySlash That is the nice thing about cover songs - every take can be fresh in unique. Alex wasn't the first person to cover Semi Charmed Life, but his cover is unique as I expect a Hey Jealousy cover would be.

I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling She's living, she's golden, she lives for me Says she lives for me Ovation, she's got her own motivation She comes 'round and she goes down on me And I make her smile like a drug for you Do ever what you want to do, coming over you Keep on smiling what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on like a freak show, takes the stage We give them the games we play, she say I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips up into my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break It won't stop, I won't come down I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said How do I get back To the place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to The place where you said... I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye I believe in the sand beneath my toes The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I'm with you I feel like I could die And that would be alright, alright And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city We tripped on the urge to feel alive But now I'm struggling to survive Those days you were wearing that velvet dress You're the priestess, I must confess Those little red panties, they pass the test So slide up 'round the belly face down on the mattress one And you hold me And we're broken Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now Feel myself hovering off the ground I'm scared, I'm not coming down No, no And I won't run for my life She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile But nothing is alright, alright And I want something else To get me through this life, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips up into my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there In the place we used to start our lives (I want something else)

Wow. Third Eye Blind’s self-titled album was the first album I ever bought, and Blink might just be my favorite band of all time. So this is just so much feels all wrapped up into one.
