[@gilzow]

I vote for a +44 version of the whole song. Definitely my favorite of the ten.

[@Henrique.Souza0601]

Up!

[@BobDoesReviews]

I wish they did even more music. I remember seeing +44 in Chicago when Travis just had 1 arm to play with

[@dmpunk]

Yes please!! Especially using your Mark Hoppus voice because it sounds more like Mark than Mark haha. If I closed my eyes I wouldn't even be able to tell you guys apart

[@ideiasradicaispt9772]

Seconded! I love +44 and it was really the only thing I was sad about when blink came back in 2011. I wish they released more songs in that style.

[@DBRSAstonMartin]

Same!!

[@CharissaPianos]

The Welcome to My Life riff mashes so well with this song

[@will6rocks]

I teared up for real at this

I’ve only heard of two of those bands. Hello I’m old how are you?

[@pripples]

@@flabio7074 most of these bands are 20+ years old

[@mgcsop03]

@@flabio7074 how old are you

[@h3arty]

so incredibly impressive.

[@clinthess3368]

3:40 sounded like Yellowcard to me!

[@AcidSh33tz]

Taking Back Sunday was spot on, you even got the body movement of the singing down, I was able to guess it before the name came up, you should do more like this and give the viewers time to guess the band before you reveal it, that's alot of fun!

[@the_Sarahnator]

As soon as I saw "Avril Lavigne" I was like "man I hope Simple Plan makes their appearance here." Does anyone else remember that DVD they made??? I used to watch it every day. 😂😂😂

[@nocontrol628]

No

[@benoit.b9337]

Hard Rock Live was the one I was addicted to.

[@clarelewis4340]

Something about tape and package? I LOVED THAT DVD! Woah nostalgia. Glad someone else enjoyed it as much as I did!

[@CTGromer]

I laughed out loud at the Dashboard Confessional one for sure. Basically took the "Hands Down" structure and applied "Complicated"s progression, loved it. Outstanding video!

[@OfficialFinalGirl]

The genuine laughter each time I guess one of these right feels so good

[@calebmorales6288]

I get a peculiar, uncontrollable giggle that leads to teary eyes haha

[@mikedoeren5960]

You know you did a good job when viewers can recognize bands before you announced who you were emulating! Great job, as always.

[@megshep]

Okay the Welcome to my life insert was LEGENDARY 😅

[@slyrooster1241]

+44 always slaps. Such a great project too bad they didn't do more

[@DFWsCars]

These are hands down my fav videos of yours. Really showcases how multitalented you are.

[@Aster_Risk]

Hands down. Was that intentional? Lol

[@bigtasty2767]

I read that s mutilated

[@Rayshawnify]

It should be illegal for one person to be THIS talented! Props to you brother.

[@mrdontgothere]

Of course Alex likes the +44 part the best. He does such a great Hoppus!

[@Memorh19]

Yeaaaah, man!!

[@ryshow9118]

Spotify legit just mixed them into a playlist yesterday. I'd never heard of them before lol

[@TylerMcMullen305]

I need to hear the whole thing as The Wonder Years style. So spot on man.

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

Love the +44 shout-out, absolutely one of the most underappreciated albums in recent memory. Wish they would've made another one

[@stephenveerasammy3074]

What happened with them?

[@Prevok]

@@stephenveerasammy3074 Travis started working on hip hop stuff, which might have delayed work on the second album (just an opinion). Then Travis was in a plane crash, they reunited with Tom, reformed blink and the band went on hiatus.

[@Adrian-zd4cs]

I love me some +44

[@martinruffell4077]

Recent memory. 2006... 😂

[@lilbonthabeat]

@@Adrian-zd4cs me too lycanthorpe

[@JonathanCarone]

Haven’t even started yet but I know Alex has ten days of TikTok content from this one video and I already plan on liking each one.

[@theadventuresofzerotomillions]

That Mayday Parade segment though ❤️

[@Rxbotboy]

That Welcome to my life bit is so perfect that it blends in very well

[@Comrade_Dad]

The Postal Service cover was immediately recognizable. Absolutely nailed it.

[@blakecurry3880]

And I want whole song covers done like this now.

[@illsthaprophet]

The Wonder Years part was so spot on, that was amazing, I liked the whole thing, but that one really evoked the band.

[@LRM5195]

The 1975 has such a cool vibe

[@bcallan85]

that taking back sunday intro slaps so hard

[@BlameSomething]

Your talent is absolutely insane, each band's sound is perfect

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

"Honesty, and promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it" "Welcome to my life" Best part of the entire thing 😂😂😂

[@TheOrderoftheSigillite]

I'd like to see full videos for each of these versions. They're all amazing!

[@pauldebrosse]

This was great! So glad you included +44!

[@nashy008]

Keep throwing these videos up! I love them!

[@chrismaghintay]

YES! Thank you for bringing the style covers! My favorite thing you do!

[@corradocrestani1812]

Great stuff like usual, that +44 impression was brilliant

[@gedreeves9692]

More wonder years styles PLEASE!!!! You're too talented dude, keep it up!

[@hostilegamingz]

Really love how you kept us guessing for the band's name, do that more often!

[@TheColorFred]

Great as always!!! Can't wait for the shows!

[@Adrian-zd4cs]

Enjoyed that little TØP. Keep up the amazing original work as well as these covers 💗

[@christopherwilson5617]

That was super fun! Hope you do some more of these in the future.

[@rocketblooom]

Tbh i would love a full Simple Plan cover lol i would go for +44 but its pretty much Blink but heavier. This is great it just flows so nicely! Going to add this to my list! Here are the timestamps for each individual person’s favorite part ( honestly i know everyone loves the whole thing lol) 0:00 - Taking Back Sunday 0:35 - Dashboard Confessional 0:46 - The Postal Service 1:06 - Simple Plan 1:34 - Paramore 1:50 - Twenty One Pilots 2:07 - Green Day 2:23 - The 1975 2:47 - Mayday Parade 3:04 - +44 3:25 - The Wonder Years

[@dustindestroyer]

That dancey hi hat on the +44 one tipped me off immediately. Good stuff!

[@katewehrfritz419]

YES. We need more Melton / Mayday Parade covers!!!

[@Taw75]

So good! Killing it man hope you the album blows up!

[@ladystarch1168]

1:32 is awesome, I haven't really heard you do runs like that. Love!

[@ijustwanttosay9369]

Your videos make me smile. Thank you for doing it.

[@russellmckinley9916]

I love that you gave us a few bars to try and guess the band. I love almost everyone on the list and I didnt guess a single one right, but I still think you nailed it. Love it!

[@Andy4543]

Dude!! This is soo sick!! great job!!

[@donaldbruce7559]

Love the rhythm transitions, Alex you the man, come to minneapolis MN!

Great compilation. Loved the Wonder Years ender!

[@thundernixon]

+ Actually really excited to hear you‘ll start writing for an original record! I was really thinking during these covers, “man, this guy is so good, but I wish he were releasing his own pop punk stuff.” I guess you are!

[@SimonTarrant]

Oh Alex! With all this amazing content you're spoiling us!

Hell yeah. I'd love to see a full taking back Sunday or +44 version
