[@mikeymikey9810]

Tips: You should really do a cover of Apologize or Titanium in style of Blink! Would fit perfectly

[@seanmurphy7218]

Would love to see how you record and process your vocals. Thanks

[@tomswaine2692]

Watching this with my wife, she says, "we don't really need new music, we just need this guy to turn all the old music into Blink 182"

[@LoboDagger]

Best thing I’ve ever heard 🙏 you got a winner

[@KeefyGizzle]

I love your wife, lol...

[@idunnocheezeitz]

I've been thinking the same thing ever since I first discovered Alex Melton

[@Mustang50turbo88]

YES!!!

[@KangPukul]

100% we're all agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hushvirginia]

I miss Alex. But Alex is a solid replacement.

[@ThePivotCreaters]

Alex sucks, I wish Alex never left, I can't believe Alex and Alex let Alex leave and be replaced by Alex.

[@TheDistur]

He's just the flavor of the week.

[@0neWhoKnocks]

smh this will never be a real band ever EVER again ever without Alex.

[@adamwhiting5648]

Nah, they should get Alex instead. That guy kicks ass.

[@QuietEco]

I prefer Alex. But maybe both Alex AND Alex. I think that would rip.

[@thenewweirdos4624]

I feel like a lot of people find you and appreciate the meme aspect of the covers but fuck dude…you are straight up suuuuuper talented.

[@drphatbird3917]

This. He seriously knows his stuff and it's absolutely amazing.

[@cottoncactus]

Completely agree!!! Alex himself has become a fav musician

[@stratonarrow]

Agreed.

[@conorholmes4796]

I end up jealous every time, he’s so damn good at so many aspects of music

[@jalbraam2516]

and the production is spot on as well!

[@Podcastage]

We must be the same age because you’re just remaking the soundtrack of my childhood. Another absolutely outstanding cover man!

[@calebschultz3537]

"Yeah, that's been my experience..." hahaha! Perfect!

[@bellamoonchild]

Literally hollered "This is SICK" out loud to no one lol Great job!

[@iamjamieq]

Hilarious to hear Eve 6 referred to as “the Twitter guy.” Such a great song from my teenage years given amazing treatment from another hugely important band from my teenage years! How could I not love this?

[@pogz1279]

i do not follow. why is eve6 the twitter guy?

[@iamjamieq]

@@pogz1279 While Eve 6 had a lot of success in the late '90s and early '00s, their last studio album was in 2012 (with their next coming in a couple weeks). In the meantime, lead singer Max Collins has been a very active and vocal presence on Twitter posting under the @Eve6 handle. So it's a funny thing to suggest that Eve 6 is known more nowadays for Max tweeting than their music, and it also may be accurate for many people. To me they're both.

[@ScarboroughSt]

@@pogz1279 same question. Thought the Twitter guy would be Elon Musk. Be interesting to see how the extremely broken liberal Max Collins makes a new debut. Not really holding my breath as it's been far past since I grew up and saw the scripted world we live in. The bratty pop music can't compare to classical roots. Stop numbing your minds with the noise garbage.

[@scottluebke5012]

Eve 6's album "Horrorscope" is one of my favorite all-time. It's a sleeper, for sure.

[@ThePsychedelicCinema]

So damn good! Still jam to Promise almsot daily.

[@bryancue2238]

@@ThePsychedelicCinema I wore that album out. Jet Pack is my pick of them all...."You call me UUUUUUUUUPPP!"

[@dedcaesar2325]

Unfortunately their new album is ass.

[@ryan_454]

I saw some a-hole put them on a "one hit wonder" list-- completely overlooking Horrorscope. Criminal!

[@ryanscott961]

Yeeeep. Still make it a go to, 20 years later.

[@mandyjess2108]

You just aren't capable of releasing a bad song, are you?! This is amazing Alex! I'm havin a back porch chair sittin dance party for 1 🤣

You mean covers

*Y’all.

[@yamuda]

As someone who loves Eve 6 as much as Blink this was incredible.

[@genevievelok9496]

The 2000 energy pouring off this is SCALPING me, thank you so much for putting this together!

[@PapaBPoppin]

Another straight banger Can't wait to see how the Alex, Alex, Alex Saga goes now that Alex is out and Alex has joined up!

[@Throbtometrist]

Pretty sure Alex’s ‘me-first’ attitude is going to rub Alex and Alex the wrong way. He’s just so talented they can’t kick him out.

[@tylerstooksbury3050]

I love the nod to how tom left blink the first time with the manager calling. Spot on!

[@jman803803]

I love the hat - one guy front, second guy backwards, then you panicked and went with sunglasses and hat - you had sideways

[@hashbrownfob]

Omg I love this. Eve 6 self titled was my 1st cd I ever got as a kid.

[@mariomancini6655]

Yo sameeee

[@lashedsuns4529]

@Eddie Carlson Fucking Astrolounge... Love that album.

[@ensigndan]

You just transported me back to summer 2004, driving on country roads with the windows down. This was awesome.

[@davidplantz2112]

Fantastic. Great approach. One of my favorite songs from the 90s is “Found Out About You” by the Gin Blossoms. It could easily go in a pop-punk direction or also a country direction. Would love to someday see what you’d do with it. Keep up the awesome work regardless!

[@honorinemusic]

Dude, that would be a sick song to cover like this!

[@JoshGColorado]

Gin would appreciate it I'm sure, great suggestion

[@airbmacndeehoc]

How about a new video series - 2 “bands” battle it out doing a song in two styles (pop punk & country, obviously). An Alex Melton twist on “epic rap battles of history”.

[@richkohler]

yes yes yes!!

[@tovinoname]

Yes PLEASE

[@jamesd9147]

They should make a Wikipedia page for you as a one man band. Then in the members section, there’s Alex, Alex, and Alex. And then in the past members section, you have Alex, Alex, Alex…you get the idea.

[@timsim83]

“...get rid of the flat sevenths... it will be fine.” Pure Meta Self Analysis. Good job. Thank you!

[@TeamPaidToDrive]

“Rendezvous then I’m through with you” is totally something blink would sing back in the day 😂

[@jonnylawless6797]

Just so you know, Roller Coaster is my favorite blink song. Killer Matt vibe on this vid man 👍

[@BrianMagnan]

🎵Roller Coaster favorite SONG 🎵

[@themugwump33]

OMG I’m 10 seconds in to the actual song and I hit subscribed. This is everything I ever wanted and didn’t know it.

[@tje201]

Watching the quality of this channel improve from video to video and seeing the work you've put into each song/video has been amazing. Please keep up the great work!

[@ChristopherJCroft]

I see what you did there with that skit at the beginning. I laughed out loud. Love what you did with this classic song. Keep it up!

[@BrynSwartz]

Always love your drum sounds. For a digital drumset they’re killer, can’t even really tell it’s electronic.

[@bartsimpson7772]

This is insane! Absolutely amazing job Alex Alex and Alex!

[@mikesilverman9687]

Awesome work as usual!!!! Love finding new songs and creations from you and your clones.

[@perforatededge1053]

Loved this. New favorite If Blink 182 wrote. Fantastic job as always.

[@IamPedroUK]

Having been a Blink fan for the best part of 3 decades, I can honestly say this is the closest to a Blink performance that I’ve ever heard. You have this down to a tee… what I’d do to see you live 🤘 keep rocking dude!

[@IceColdFear]

This blew me away. I love this song and you just made it about a million times better with this cover. Excellent work!!!!!!

[@nate4553]

Best way to start a Friday… He’ll, best way to start any day. Thank you, just thank you!

[@bradenmcg]

The drum fills on this are so damn sick, and so Travis-like, I love it.

[@HouseDaddyHouse]

There’s no shortage of genius from Alex. That instrumental breakdown I guess the bridge is just sooooooo incredible. The drum pattern and sound as if its something Travis would come up with. The guitar straight from toypaj era and the bass just flowwwwws. Wow just incredible.

[@carsoncornell697]

one word, man; fun. I literally LOLd numerous times as the Blink touches were thrown in!! Thank you

[@jonkerrmusic]

Man you absolutely killed it again! Way to go.

[@dannymac6368]

So pumped for this one! Thanks Alex! Edit: No Alex?!? Edit 2: Phew…

[@monkeykidd420]

The fact that a lot of these covers are in the style of blink is awesome to me because you're covering songs I know and love and grew up on but singing them in a style that's one of my favorite bands. Keep up the good work bro

[@justinmiller9169]

Raising the bar each time Alex. Great work. Drums are excellent.

[@CVVCLIPS]

I would pay large sums of money to see Alex and The Alexes in concert

[@comicsbythebay]

I love the original, but I also love how much this version sounded different from it with just a few changes. Great job man and keep up the great work!

[@jonking9110]

This is pretty genius. 2 incredible bands and writing styles. You married them flawlessly. Great Work

[@Michael-qh7sx]

Dude, don’t ever stop doing this. Thank you 🙏🏻

I wish you posted more of these songs on Spotify!

[@Mr_I_Eat_Your_Doritos]

Omg an combo of my two favorite bands! Thanks

[@kansaimarc]

So awesome! You absolutely nailed the Blink sound!

[@addictwithariptide]

This is one of my favorite songs!! And you did great “Blinkifying” it. It would be cool if you could do if Blink-182 did a Relient K song. In some songs they sound similar in my opinion.

[@restingbird263]

🤘

[@seraphoncobus]

This! Anything from the mhmm album

[@addictwithariptide]

@@seraphoncobus I really like Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been. It’s probably my favorite. And Be My Escape.

[@CarrotSlat]

Great idea! I vote for College Kids.

[@addictwithariptide]

@@CarrotSlat that’s a great song too. Also Sadie Hawkins Dance

[@logantresslar7991]

The only problem with his blink covers is that his guitar tone actually sounds good 😂

[@brosky117]

Rockin OUT on those drums

[@jspades007]

2 of my favorite artists. Blink meets Eve. Well done, my man. So well done.

[@danielthompson7671]

Bro you need to somehow do a blink version of a Breaking Benjamin song

[@RudeXII]

2nd this!

[@KarlMarcus8468]

oh word I think he usually tries to cover bands that are good

[@pantsnjacket381]

Polyamorous would be a great one to cover.

[@moonbreaker]

RIP Alex. Alex was too good of a replacement. Hopefully, he will stick around from now on. Oh, and Alex, way to go, man! Nice content as always.

[@rayparenteau]

It's like you took a look at one of my playlists one day and went "you know what... he should only have to listen to one channel." Thanks brother 🤘🏼

[@deweydewyea4512]

Alex Melonge, solid replacement! These covers are blasting serotonin!

[@chicowonder8872]

This was super cool, man. I been meaning to ask you though, could you do some super old-school punk tunes in the style of Blink? Would be cool to hear them take on The Ramones or something.

[@billiemack64]

Horrorscope by Eve 6 is an AMAZING album. Promise was one of my favorite songs as a kid.

[@tomrwills]

I love On the Roof Again

[@ianhaight9164]

You rock man! Keep these coming.

[@robdacer]

Hahahha. The phone conversation about the accent is phenomenal!

[@katewehrfritz419]

omg YES Matt Skiba is doing the lord's work keeping blink alive / active and everyone hates on him :( I think he's a great fit and he's so sweet in real life too!!

[@whatcameup762]

A moment of silence for Matt skibas service to blink. Long live Tom Delonge

[@NemFX]

I don't know why Eve 6 never got huge. Go look up "promise" and "here's to the night"

[@johncostello4565]

Great songs! Anytime is my favorite

[@fuzzyjedi]

Self titled was huge, but Horrorscope was just too ahead of it’s time. If it came out when all time low and boys like girls were blowing up it would have been totally huge

[@cgriffith84]

Leech is also a good one!

[@johnkneip1932]

I mean…they had their moment, but outside of their singles, pretty run-of-the-mill jams

[@antftwx]

Enemy is another banger

Just rediscovered this song after about a good 15 years, and this cover is a nice cover. Blink with the win.

[@bisbeycb]

@@hashbrownfob Agreed! I feel like the band as a whole gets overlooked. They’ve had some killer stuff and feel like they should be recognized more.
