[@JAIONII]

this christmas tabs pls or chords BASICLLY ANYTHING lol i wanna play this with my band

[@EPA1102]

If I was on a wish program for kids it would be to be in the studio with you and see the process from start to completion!!!

[@garrenradley2604]

that transition from Helena into the opening of Black Parade feels like it should be illegal, 10/10

[@AndrewPonti]

YES YES YES thought the same

[@rageagainst10]

ive said it once, ive said it twice, ive said it a thousand times. hardest working music channel on youtube. legendary.

[@Rothdrop]

There wasn't even mistletoe but I kissed my screen out of happiness.

[@joelo7135]

I typed this using my tongue

[@JeremiahFernandez]

my name Jeff

[@PunditMusings]

This was so much more than I expected when I saw the title. It was a much more inventive and creative video than what the name implied. I was expecting genre bent Christmas songs, not this. Dear gods this was so so so much better than what my brain expected. I appreciate your talent and amazingness more with every video released. Thanks for being Awesome, Alex!

[@mollyscozykitchen4693]

Absolutely loved the “fa la la la” instead of “la la la la” in All the Small Things! Brilliant!

[@mattlenning3225]

Alright, 7:01 needs a full song. I couldn't help but smile at how good that part was.

[@mer0vingian308]

100% this.

[@Memorh19]

Yeah!!

[@calebdeck2530]

This has been stuck in my head for days. The original isn’t even as good.

[@therealmorganofficial]

You are a national punk rock treasure dude.

[@Jydmd]

Holy shit the Falalas instead of the Nananas are genius.

[@West-rk7dz]

Was expecting pop punk version of pop punk Xmas songs, but this works too

[@AaroKeipi]

Same! I wouldn't mind a full album of actual Christmas songs covered in pop punk style

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

He pulled the ol' switcheroo.. But it still works lol

[@West-rk7dz]

@@AaroKeipi same. But what I meant was pop punk versions of Xmas songs that pop punk bands wrote. (Example: Green Day's "Xmas time of year", Simple Plan's "My Christmas list", Blink 1-82''s "I won't be home for Christmas"

[@joshweedon1967]

Did...did you watch the whole thing?

[@Markephillips77]

That FOB cover sounded like it came straight from Relient K’s Christmas record Let It Snow Let It Reindeer! So dang good!

[@barneyboyle6933]

This was a level of chill I wasn’t ready for. Literally the first thing all month that has felt like Christmas to me. Thanks for whippin it up

[@Anders-B]

its December 2024 aaaaand we're back

[@JD2jr.]

You need to do these all as full songs so we can just keep you on in the background of our holiday get togethers.

[@rainmartin1761]

YES PLEASE!!

[@meller7303]

All the Christmas things Fir trees, Stockings I'll take one gift Eggnog, have a sip Always I know All the family's home Watching, Waiting Are those sleigh bells ringing? Say it ain't so, it's starting to snow The fire is lit, We're cozy at home Fa la la, la la, la la, la, la fa la la, la la, la la, la

[@erichansen2860]

Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Alex Melton's Pop Punk Holiday Special.

[@Telecasterfan]

This video was the true meaning of Christmas all along.

[@leaveeye]

What do I want for christmas? An Alex Melton Luke Combs Medley

[@dillonh.3962]

That first verse of All I Want for Christmas reminds me a lot of Koe Wetzel's Ragweed! Alex is a total nutjob on these covers. The talent is insane.

[@ignitemyheart]

Loved this! Think you and Matt Cutshall could make some pop-punk/emo magic together. 😁

[@jessicarupert8815]

Ok YES. All I want for Christmas is this collab

[@Kandraith]

I honestly was expecting Christmas songs in the styles of these bands. But I loved this too.

[@TurboNym]

Every store on the planet needs to update their playlist with this new version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

[@ritkid1]

Most welcome 13:39 of my morning. Thank you, Alex!

[@gigglesvids3561]

"We're the invisible carolers" - I loved this! xD 👏

[@beamannydanny]

Dude that Four Year Strong-style version of This Christmas is an absolute BANGER!!

[@carguyeyedoc]

Honestly my favorite rendition in this video

[@gaileysc]

I hear lots of BoysNightOut in that last piece, and I'm so down for that

[@gilian681]

Man, I almost cried when I heard Sugar, we're going down. This is amazing

[@TheFadingTale]

OMG I want that piano version of Helena longer

[@DiveVibe]

"Im sad and sleepy now" bro stop talking about my 30s

[@skarz1no1more]

That MCR x Christmas medley... done so masterfully. This was a great mix of songs, but I agree that these need to be full length. They were all incredible. Alex, you are so talented and these videos just keep getting better and better!

[@justinjames3364]

All I want for Christmas is a full version of Sugar We’re going down - Christmas version. Ppppaaaahhhllleeeaaasssseeee

[@GeofBS]

this dude keeps getting sooooooo goood

[@TheSalPic]

Last Christmas needs a full length.

[@josiahsmith1669]

Reminded me of a little bit of the Relient K Christmas album🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@teh0theif]

You're so last summer acapella? YES PLEASE.

[@peterw2880]

Well that was absolutely delightful

[@sheenachristina2385]

That MCR Mix?? Merry Christmas to us, indeed!

[@jessicarupert8815]

You're so last summer really cheered me up.

[@JDruRC4]

Please blend these pop punk classics into an Anti-Christmas medley 🙏 . . FOB- Yule shoot your eye out, Something Corp.- Forget December, NFG- Ex-miss, B182- Won't be home for Xmas, Relient K- I hate Xmas parties

[@BenAustraw]

This man can't miss

[@CCNeverender]

I thought the MCR arrangement was really interesting, and I'd love to hear it expanded a little more. Great video Alex :)

[@elmo1220]

That MCR piano mix was perfect!

[@donaldwatson3801]

This was so much fun

[@SiWatten]

We desperately need a Carol version of "You're so last Summer"

[@ashishsajan1188]

Bruh!! This is insane creativity!

[@theryncle]

YESSSS!!!!!!! THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

[@Number01]

Would love to see more ballads or jazz lounge covers of all the metal punk pop or emo songs. It could be a third style for you. Loved this. Thank you.

[@theryncle]

Alex.....alex..... You know we're gonna want a whole Christmas album now right?

[@MrMlev123]

And the crowd goes wild!!!! Alex you are a special talent my dude, happy holidays friend.

[@Lckwd]

This is going to be fantastic.

[@Lckwd]

P.S. Hi, Alex!

[@Lckwd]

I was right; this was fantastic. Normally, I’ll stop watching when marketing begins, but when content is this good, I just KEEPS™ watching.

[@cliffordbunton8788]

I mean this in the sincerest way possible; this would be a 🔥 playlist to sleep to on repeat around the holidays...

[@Chipocheet]

I’m barely keeping positive this holiday. But this video really did capture the warmth and joy in the holiday season that I miss having. Thank you so much. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one out there that feels this way. So we all say thank you a ton brothA 🤘🏽❤️

[@matthewajreed]

7:39 is kind of my face at this whole vid, surprisingly slaps.

[@justincosta89]

I'm saying it now, Alex Melton needs to curate Pop Punk/Emo/Hardcore music for Apple Music. Similar to the others that were introduced when the service was started. Just saying. This was fun, Happy Holidays!

[@AndersNFam]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this man sounds like Kenny Vasoli from the starting line, but not. Like a stunt double voice! Love it!

[@_als_classics]

So glad I stayed till the end!

[@TrepWorldwide]

This makes me so happy. Will be playing this for my family at Christmas without warning.

[@mattlenning3225]

5:14 - Alex knows how to write Four Year Strong better than Four Year Strong at this point! What a jam!

[@spirals.]

The Pop Punk Special we needed..

[@iamchade]

This Christmas = four year strong vibes to the max

[@nicholasbonds5648]

Fine work, my dude!

[@writerwritesdaily]

Warm and fuzzy

[@2rustysporks]

This was really awesome

[@BowerAdventures]

amazing! Merry Christmas bro!

[@n0hayam0r]

I need the full versions of these songs in my life💚💚

[@its_jo5hu472]

great job on the video man, very good

[@BigPop88]

Just discovering this. It's freaking awesome!

[@stevelucero9047]

Well Done Alex and Happy Holidays to everyone. .... and we want a "Melt'n Christmas🎅" album next year!

[@MikeBMW]

I'm tellin' y'all Alex is destined for great things! Merry Christmas!

[@howie8599]

So awesome!

[@danielbyrne4531]

Absolutely killed it. This is art

[@codysawmiller6812]

yeah boy

[@scottcrabface5662]

This is amazing.

[@susan7385]

Back again for the '23 holiday season 🥰🎄

[@fpul]

Would definitely not be opposed to full length versions of these to mix in for the holiday

[@thejaydrummer]

I didn't know what to expect, but that is the beauty of your videos. And as usual this didn't disappoint. Thank you for creating this Alex. Can we please get ad free (not talking about keeps version) on Spotify BEFORE CHRISTMAS PLLLLLLEEEEEAAASSSEEEEEE

[@jacobscott6028]

The only Christmas music I enjoy!

[@CloudKiller91]

This was a real treat. Thanks for this beautiful gift. :p

[@funghoulms7389]

what a nice dreamy medley

[@JonathanCarone]

That Fall Out Boy one feels like I Celebrate The Day by Relient K

[@wheetbread1]

we need an Melton pop punk Christmas album...its mellow enough for my family to like and i would beable to here something good for once.

[@VaughnTheOptimistic]

My guy, that was brilliant

[@jonmann19]

This Christmas needs a full release!

[@brycebradleywhite8861]

this is truly a gift! Thank you and happy holidays!

[@blackdeathnapkin]

This is the first time I didn't skip through an ad. You better be getting hooked up because I'm 36 with no hair loss in me or in my family!

[@andrewhoward5823]

Tougher drinks - bubly upgraded. Loved it.

[@ryanhodges3248]

I can only imagine how much effort goes into these types of videos but I’m a pop punk kid at heart I’m a pop punk cover band. We haven’t started gigging yet but I think the bar scene is ready for a pop punk band instead of your typical classic rock bands. Love your stuff and keep up the fantastic work

[@mattterrell4304]

I just saw you're playing with Fred Mascherino. He's one of the nicest guys I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I wish my schedule allowed for me to go. I'm sure you guys are gonna rock the house

[@stegadreamcast13]

Man we all need a full version of You're So Last Summer. Alex, you're a national treasure and I appreciate the joy you bring all of us...hope you have a really wonderful Christmas!

[@SendStory]

Gold. As in five gold rings. Silver and gold. Tinsel. And Alex Melton.

[@billvervelde8154]

Chalk me up as another person who needs full versions of these. Merry Christmas!

[@gilangswandika]

COOL!!

[@Hack0128]

You're So Last Summer gave me chills. Great work.

[@OneTwoFourFloor]

Thank you Alex

[@brycestewart9493]

I love it bro ! ❤

[@kylemonahansmusic7642]

Merry Christmas!

[@AndyK243]

Sugar we're going down sounds amazing all jazzy like that. Loved it. Thanks man

[@Cybrmaverick]

FOB hits gooood

[@krusemusic-r1c]

YESSSS this sits well with me and so metal in the same time. I'm a lot more excited for Christmas this year :)

[@toxicsquirrelboy]

The Four Year Strong This Christmas rendition slaps so fucking hard. I wish it was longer but I'll just be listening to it on repeat.
