If Third Eye Blind Wrote What's My Age Again?

[@MonkeyTurtle100]

Full circle, it was your "if blink did semi-charmed life" that got me into 3rd eye blind

[@rhysjones3867]

@@bennyredbeard would rather that than a 10 year olds insult so although you didn't do it right, I'd prefer it.

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

But it has to be the full version, not that chopped abomination they play on radio.

My wife was getting ready in another room when I put this on. She immediately was like "woah, is he doing What's my Age Again as Third Eye Blind?" And then we paused halfway through to talk about how amazing of a music theorist you must be to consistently pull off the small identifiers of the bands you cover. Shit's crazy, man.

[@victim21]

Now "I wore cologne" comes in clear.

[@rhysjones3867]

Great comment 🤙🏻

[@jonathanmoore121]

"I walk alone..."

[@joaoborges4763]

you mean, I work alone?

[@george.s61509]

@@joaoborges4763no look at the lyrics 😭 also it’s literally about going out with a girl so how would “I walk alone” or “I work alone” make sense

[@mattbenh]

I finally heard it too!

[@the_Sarahnator]

I love the "Semi-Charmed Life" riff toward the end. I literally said "Oh my goddddd!!!" because it was so cool and fit right in. Nice work!

[@sethmoyer]

There was a hint of it early in the song too that he snuck in there

[@Doinstuffman]

​​@@sethmoyeryea right after the first chorus, I was literally expecting "doo doo doos" 😂

[@angrysammo]

It’s the consistency that I can’t wrap my head around. How is every cover THAT good?

[@tinusg]

One of the hardest working, if not the hardest working, musicians on KZbin. That and talent.

[@rob7360]

Third Eye Blind is my favorite 90’s band, this is everything. Love the subtle Semi Charmed riff/undertone in this one. What a mashup of greatness.

[@teebob21]

Gentlemen of musical culture, we meet again.

[@craigrooney5459]

Sometimes these mash ups just hit right. Nice job.

[@satannotsara]

Thanks for making existing in this timeline bearable, Alex. 💗

[@Theeonlysherlock]

Dude you always come through with straight fire. This is a perfectly balanced 90s mash-up we didn't know we needed. Killing it as aways bro!

[@Doinstuffman]

The spin at 0:57 is just so appropriate with the vibe of the song, its perfect lol

[@mangoski_PH]

man this guy's music knowledge and production quality is just insane. Been a fan since 2020

[@teemunknee]

This maybe would have sounded a bit out of place on the eponymous and Blue, but this absolutely would have fit in on Out of the Vein. Great as always, Alex.

[@jacktaylor7264]

Their best record imo. Wholly underrated and overlooked

[@matthewdennis1739]

Out of the Vein is a stone cold classic.

[@stejones5023]

​@@jacktaylor7264it's mental how now 2 decades later ootv is so well regarded considering the fanbase went crazy when it came out cos it wasn't debut or blue. Their "recent" out out is still stellar, dopamine and screamer are absolute banger albums bar like 1 track (2 tigers, which is frankly shit)

[@mattball8622]

That rhythm section combo at 2:22 really tickled my brain. Buttery smooth.

[@William.Knight]

Sonically and visually, you're killing it. I appreciate the small things you pay attention to in the arrangement, engineering/mixing, and performance/playthrough.

[@mitch_cave]

Heh… All the Small Things

[@peterw2880]

Dude you always knock these out of the park, but this one especially is just incredible. Complete reinvention, and I LOVE the interpolation of Semi Charmed there at the end

[@gabrielgonzales9547]

Love the little "Semi-charmed life" riff at the end! Brilliant work!

[@Simco_]

This is one of the best arrangements I think you've done.

[@TulipsToKiss]

damn you REALLY transformed this one!! killed it!!!!

[@BrettFarr]

This guy doesn't miss. Thanks for continuing to bring back the good memories every time you release a new video.

[@BrockMcGoff]

I would have liked this either way (3EB does Blink or Blink does 3EB), but this is awesome!

[@billyscuba2763]

He did a "If Blink-182 wrote Semi-Charmed Life" video!

[@BrockMcGoff]

@@billyscuba2763 I know, love that one too!

[@thepumpkinking13]

The chorus riff of this cover is a tasty mashup of the Semi-Charmed Life and What's My Age Again chorus riffs. Alex always has the perfect blend of spices in his songs.

[@stilljustapunkrockkidofficial]

dude come on. i've been on a TEB kick lately and this is so timely. love everything about this. that quiet final chorus starting out reverting back to the original melody are you kidding me. so good. Narcolepsy feels, hey can you do Narcolepsy next?? like if Sum 41 and Four Year Strong collabed on Narcolepsy?

[@Artcore103]

So good, and so impressive in how much it sounds like what it claims to be. You have the style mimicry down but not only that, the end result is always just genuinely great in it's own right too.

[@PunditMusings]

How is just as good if not slightly better than the original?! You don't miss, Alex. This is amazing.

[@audeng8485]

i love this cover SO much. every time it comes up on a playlist again, i just have to sit and listen to it multiple times in a row. you just keep making seriously impressive and nostalgia inducing bangers, no joke. keep it up!! :D

[@youslyfox]

alright...that first few seconds i was thinking "naahhhh"...but then it hit....and the Jenkins effect hit haaaardddd! well done!!!

[@travisbarker]

👀

[@rome8180]

I would love a mix breakdown of one of your covers/alternative versions. Your stuff sounds so good, and I'm curious to see how you go about making it sound that way. I'm not sure if you mix all your own stuff or what. But it always sounds super clear and polished without sounding overly bright and harsh. I particularly love your drum and guitar sounds. I know this channel isn't a mixing/music production channel, but it could be a cool one-off that wouldn't take as much effort as actually making a new song must.

[@damienmilk3025]

Alex, your talent is without boundaries. The amount of work that must go into these songs is unimaginable.

[@drewhull7313]

Nailed the singing style of 3EB at the 0:23 mark

[@airstrike5062]

right??? so fucking accurate

[@Doinstuffman]

also at the third chorus at @2:29, nailed the Semi-Charmed Life vibe

[@ryan_454]

Good heavens. This vibe is dead on. Nicely done.

[@SixStringGuitarist]

That ending was very Semi Charmed, another awesome what if cover!

[@timstokes179]

I love how in the first 5 seconds of the video I can tell it's gonna be an effing bop! Crushed it again!

[@sirnatanielson]

That's when I hit the like button haha

[@Oosloppijoe]

This is well executed! I appreciate your talent as an artist and a great way to refreshen the “good old days vibes.” Great job A.M.!

[@lostluden8912]

This is your best one yet. Holyshit. If this was released like a month ago it would be in my top 5 wrapped

[@TheCzemerda]

Dude I’ve always been a huge fan of everything you post, to me I think you’re the best “solo band” KZbinr there is and your content is always grade A. I especially love your videos like this, doing songs in different band styles and always killing it. Honestly when this one started and you started singing my first thought was “that ain’t it” lol. But by like 30 seconds in I was sold on it. I think I was expecting you to sound exactly like Stephan because you do a great job with the blink voices. But it’s kind of a lot to expect you to be able to sing and sound exactly like a certain artist. But once the song got going dude you nailed it with the cadence and vocal style of Jenkins and at that point it didn’t matter if your voice sounded different than his because you still killed it bro. Third Eye Blind is one of my all time favorite bands as well so I was expecting a lot from this one and you were amazing. I would love to see Stephan Jenkins reaction to this.

[@ianlarue8937]

Holy shit, man. Amazing as ever! That chorus gave me chills.

[@jbwaits1973]

So nicely done! Please consider doing more songs in the style of 3EB (without moving away from Blink-182)! This was great!

[@RealAndySkibba]

This is so good. Love the semi-charmed life call out around 3:00

[@UsedByMyOwn]

and I do the "doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo" 😁😅

[@Mikhavoc]

one of your best ones so far

[@bemep0k]

What the hell...this is so good! I mean the quality and how the hell do you play 100 instruments that good...amazing!

[@MolliOlli182]

I love how you made the chorus’ chording different. Nice work as always! Also that pink guitar looks cool!

[@ryancameron9281]

[@russelltyler9363]

I didn’t know I needed this! 3rd Eye Blind were such a huge influence on my early song writing. ❤

[@a2wilkinson]

Thanks for letting us into your thought process a bit. You are right, if it is fun and you are proud of it, put it out there. I am glad you did it and it just so happens that you DID capture the spirit of 3EB. So glad you do what you do. It brings me a ton of joy.

[@dan_irl]

Lost for words! This was incredible! Been following a long time but this has got to be top three for me.

[@CaliseSellers]

I appreciate you sharing your struggle with this track in the description. I think you made it sound excellently like 3EB! But I think more importantly, it turned out to be a really beautiful track! I love all your music and always appreciate the genuine nature of your work. Thanks for sharing the music, effort, and being real with us!

[@eh8888]

I saw Third Eye Blind, Yellowcard, and ARIZONA at a concert this year. Love all those bands honestly.

[@ohmyjesselyn]

Me too! Well, it rained so there were lots of delays and we didn’t get to see ARIZONA. But it was a great show.

2 things: 1. Absolutely fucking love this. Saving this on Spotify for sure! 2. You have a similar voice to singer of The Maine. This whole song also gives off their first record vibe. Very “Everything I Ask For.”

What's my age again? mmm, it doesn't matter. I just want something -else- more from Alex Melton to get me enjoy this semi-charmed kinda life, baby! dude, this is awesome, I'm glad you made it! that ending, so hilarious

[@2BoopTheSnoot]

You know, I normally come here for the blinkification because it's awesome, and I love it, but it's predictable. I read the title to this and just thought to myself, not possible. Alex, you've surprised me. This was so perfect. You made it fit so well. I'm amazed.

[@terrymaycbc]

This is amazing! Thank you for making KZbin better!

[@jc716-1]

No need to listen before I like the video. It's always fire!

[@davidneale9113]

[@gabrielresound]

Third Eye Blink

[@teebob21]

And just like that, I was a sophomore in high school again. Gasoline was $1.06 a gallon, and I'd just spent the summer's earnings to put a CD player and better speakers in my truck.

[@thecelebrationdj]

Yeah, hearing "in the style of covers" is like hearing them for the first time again, and yeah, somehow powerful nostalgic

[@jbwetzstein]

Those were the days. It hit 76 cents in Dallas, TX in March 1999, and you can bet I was listening to 3EB.

[@BrandonCooksey-b9b]

Awesome job Third Eye Blind is one of my favorites, this song gave me goosebumps
