It is difficult to make this compliment without discounting the hard work you have put in. I'm aware you have devoted a huge amount of time over the years to your craft, but I am really amazed with the insane amount of natural talent on display here. It is awesome to see folks that find those talents in life and pour resources into them. Keep kicking ass.
DUDE! There is so much to love here. Top 3 oh dang moments for me... 1. Half time feel during the solo (plus a killer solo) 2. The bass during quiet bridge 3. The Shout Chorus towards the end. Please keep drinking coffee and making music!☕🤪🤘
@@AlexMelton dude I bet, I played that guitar riff so much as a kid so it was awesome hearing a fresh take on it. Keep taking chances and expressing yourself, you have created something really unique here!
@@MoveConsistentlyyup it's the same for a lot us. So many What if ..? and regrets. But at times we were truly happy and content. Wished we done more but no use crying over spoiled milk as they say. There's many more great memories to look forward to.
I don’t understand how you are incredible at all your instruments, can record/mix/master everything perfectly, film everything in an expert way….i’m just jealous is all. That must’ve been so much time you’ve put it all this. The song and the results are awesome. All your songs are awesome. And I’m especially impressed by your drumming and how you reimagine songs all together.
Man, I was not expecting fast Creed to work this well, but it absolutely slaps! Loved the little coffee break at the beginning too, buying a plain iced coffee to use as a canvas depending on your mood for the day is kind of inspired.
Evwryone has already said everything that needs saying about this song but...i must reiterate. What an absolute banger, I'm frankly stunned that you could put this song in a blender with 2000s pop punk and dial up such a masterpiece. It feels genuinely like a new song, while at the same time keeping those signature hallmarks of the original (like those big guitar chugs before the final choruses). Knocked it out of the park. Thoroughly impressed by your musical chops, again.
Is almost unnerving how much difference a small production change can make. Your channel does such a good job of highlighting genre conventions, of exploring how musical meanings are created in/through various production vocabularies/contexts, and so on. Sure, it's also cool as hell, but there is a lot more going on here (and I promise that I am not trying to let the lit professor in me ruin everything by overanalyzing it). Thanks. Keep it up.
Alex: "So, what should we do for that little guitar lick in the chorus?" Alex: "I have several ideas..." Alex: "Let's use all of them." Alex: **slurps coffee** Alex: **slurps coffee** One of my favorites so far. Creed makes for surprisingly good pop punk. Great video
The way you’re able to distill all of your influences and just general love of music into each of these projects, while still retaining the spirit of the original, is such a neat thing to see
One of if not the best cover / remake you’ve done man. You can literally see yourself pushing for that next level on the skins. Love the mid-song surprise with your beats. Keep it up!
Love it. You have such a cool way of looking at music and all the possibilities. Aaaand, now I'll be listening to creed for the rest of the day. Cheers.
Dude, I always want to leave a comment but can never find the right words. You *floor* me with your talent, creativity, production quality, hard work and dedication. It is a privilege to witness you execute your craft and the end result is always such a gift to the ears. Thank you so much for sharing.
Another banger! On the first prechorus I was thinking how amazing it would sound half-time, and then of course you read my mind and didn’t the second time through. *chef’s kiss*
I'm one of those strange people who actually liked and still like Creed. THIS SONG IS AMAZING! This tempo and style gives this already awesome song a new life. Love it!
I love the “in the mind of Alex” perspective! And what a fun cover! Would love to see a tutorial on how Alex works his magic. Could be a good way to promote the products he’s using too
Another absolute belter mate, well done! I got my first ever car a couple of months ago and I swear 90% of the stuff I've blasted out the stereo as I'm cruising down the promenade with my windows down has been you so thank you for that!! I'd love to hear you do a cover of Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World, maybe in the worship band style :)
Yesterday it never would've crossed my mind that one of my favorite songs can be played in the style of pop punk, yet once again, you've made it both possible and kick ass. Well done.
I love your talents, always the unexpected that turns into the most fantastic creation. I have ended up finding hidden harmonies as I'm singing along with your reimagined versions of songs I have heard a thousand times. Amazing 🙌🔥
Alex… watching your progression of ability over the years has been great. Banger after banger. You’re so much better on drums than you previously were. I love your take on this song!
Creed was the soundtrack of my adolescents and hearing it brought back in such a cool style from that same time period was amazing! Truly great work my man!
I can't help but think that anyone trying to do their best job singing along with the original ends up doing an impression of Jeff Bridges' The Dude. What a knockout of a cover as always.
This vid deserves soooo much more credit!! The work the editing the TIME and this sick ass cover that came from it! Absolutely awesome work!!! Great Job!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
the multimeter/polyrhythmic shit in this is just fucking great. i love that sense that i've "lost" the tempo/beat only to discover that if i just keep jamming its right there.
A few seconds in I went looking to buy this song, and then I realized you posted the video 2 hours ago. I'll check back later, love your music, keep it up.
Dude, you killed that...absolutely jamming to this after a long 12 hour over night shift. Giving me that boost on my drive home. I love most if not all your stuff,but this one hit different....so so good

Just sent this to my buddy who is currently drumming for Scott Stapp (Creed’s lead singer) on tour right now. Love what you do bro!
manifesting that Scott decides to collab with Alex (like when Fred from TBS did)
What was his reaction?
We're all gonna need an update on this later. And I really hope it's not an attempted copyright strike.
no you didnt
Dango is the man! He'll love this 😂

What a lovely comment and sentiment, thank you for going out of your way to craft that.
One of the best instrumentals you've done, the drumming was insane, and those guitar riffs were particularly well engineered!
I went from a Timberborners episode directly to this video…to see that you are here too is 🤯
Did not expect to see Mr RealCivilEngineer in the comments!
I really liked the bridge of the song...
Watch out for the rogue architect in the comments posing as an engineer.
A British engineer listening to a very american music covered by another american, God I love the internet
DUDE! There is so much to love here. Top 3 oh dang moments for me...
1. Half time feel during the solo (plus a killer solo)
2. The bass during quiet bridge

My fingers were shredded practicing that solo, glad it paid off! Thanks for the kind words

Dude is single handedly letting me re-live all the feels and emotions of high school every week.
Right?!?!
The nostalgia hero we needed
I didn’t peak in high school but I had good times in it, However their were times it sucked

WHY ISN'T THIS ON SPOTIFY!?!?!?! IT'S SOOOO GOOD!
Never let this man run out of coffee.
Another song was successfully Meltonized by Alex. It is such a pleasure to listen and drink coffee.
I like that term Meltonized!
Dude as someone who religiously listened to creed when i was in high school, this is like the sickest cover you've ever done. Amazing dude

The reharm on this song, along with the syncopation, is freaking stunning.

Alex: **slurps coffee**
Alex: **slurps coffee**
One of my favorites so far. Creed makes for surprisingly good pop punk. Great video
So if you pour coffee on your old Creed cds they turn into Blink 182 mp3’s 😂🤷♂️🤯🎸 Loved this 👍
Blink 183
Creed + Coffee = Pop punk
Lmao
Beat me to it
I think most pop punk is rock+ coffee, with the occasional red bull and vodka addition
That's some math I can get behind.
Been playing THPS amd this could be a brother to Superman by Goldfinger
The way you’re able to distill all of your influences and just general love of music into each of these projects, while still retaining the spirit of the original, is such a neat thing to see
This is exactly what I aim for every week, thank you for appreciating!
I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan - Country version when? Also this is fantastic; Creed will always hold a special place in my heart.
The first half of the song I was like, "BUT THE RIFF!!!" And then the second half came and I was like 😌
I think we need more Coffee Creed covers.
How does this guy not have 1,000,000 subs?💚
Keep sharing it!
I'm sure he will soon enough!
Let the good things marinate for awhile. He's going to have a heck of a backlog for the new folks to sort through.
Im glad u included the production part :) I'd love it if u kept doing that
Oh my god, I hope they see this and appreciate it for the gem that it is.
I love the behind the scenes of you making the song it sounds incredible! Definitely would download this one
This is satisfying my inner 90's and 2000's inner child. ❤ Thanks for this!
Growing up loving both creed and pop punk this is an absolute treat. Thank you for this!
I love this style. Watching the whole creative process.
This gave me "All Gas No Break" era Stellar Kart vibes, I dig it.
One of if not the best cover / remake you’ve done man. You can literally see yourself pushing for that next level on the skins. Love the mid-song surprise with your beats. Keep it up!
I have always had a soft spot for this band given the name. The pop punk hits so nice!
This guitar tone is so nice. Really reminds me of Four Year Strong- Explains it All album. Good job!
The bass really shines on this one! I can’t stop listening!! Outstanding work, as always, Alex!!
Love it. You have such a cool way of looking at music and all the possibilities. Aaaand, now I'll be listening to creed for the rest of the day. Cheers.
Wish I could IV this directly into my veins
Once again, I like your cover even better than the original! The key change and tempo speed up just hit different!
Every song you touch turns to gold, Alex! I love this so much 🥲
I love everything about this guy.
Dude, I always want to leave a comment but can never find the right words. You *floor* me with your talent, creativity, production quality, hard work and dedication. It is a privilege to witness you execute your craft and the end result is always such a gift to the ears. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love how you take the time up front to give us a little story, talk the song up a bit. Take us on a journey.
You can't fake talent like this. Awesome work, bro.
I love the intro with your thought process and the audio effects you applied, the insight is very much appreciated.
You had me at “Creed”
I REALLY hope this one ends up on streaming. Incredible!
How cool to have this thought and thanks for showing us how this works !! It sounds great!🎉
so much doing on... the tones... the beat... the depth and complexity..... it's like sushi for my ears!
Creed was awesome and I will die on this hill alone.
*sees you dying from the Limp Bizkit hill and offers a solidarity fist 👊🏼
Is that your sacrifice? *insert smirk emoji*
You won't die alone. This old Marine will die on that hill with you.
Did you know Creed is actually reuniting next year?
@@Fuzunga You've just made my day, sir
I like that you’re now explaining more about your life and more about your process it’s awesome and you’re dope dude!
Dude waited till the last phase of the last chorus to give us the original guitar line. Well played Sir.
It was actually there in the intro, just played on octaves and mixed low in the midst of the other instruments
production-wise I'm gonna say that Alex is already on the top tier along with Will Yip, Sam Pura etc
100% cool, hip, modern, worship music 😂 Love it
Another banger! On the first prechorus I was thinking how amazing it would sound half-time, and then of course you read my mind and didn’t the second time through.
*chef’s kiss*
Who needs cigarettes and coffee when you can have creed and coffee 🤙🏻
Gave me so many different vibes.. all gold!
I'm one of those strange people who actually liked and still like Creed. THIS SONG IS AMAZING! This tempo and style gives this already awesome song a new life. Love it!
I love the “in the mind of Alex” perspective! And what a fun cover!

That cover would be badass
Don’t know how you popped up on my algorithm, but so glad you did!
Four Year Creed
Jars of Human Clay
Love the production bit and intro, great addition to your usual formula
Dont care about the stigma. This album was really good.
100%
Yesterday it never would've crossed my mind that one of my favorite songs can be played in the style of pop punk, yet once again, you've made it both possible and kick ass. Well done.
Awesome vid
Loved every moment of it
If ur ever out of ideas I recommend everybody talks by the neon trees if blink 182 wrote/covered it
I can't believe how much I love this!!
I saw Creed’s Higher, I clicked.
What I like about this channel is that it shows how some songs could have been written or performed depending on the artist they were given to.
Jesus approves
I love your talents, always the unexpected that turns into the most fantastic creation. I have ended up finding hidden harmonies as I'm singing along with your reimagined versions of songs I have heard a thousand times. Amazing 🙌🔥
Alex… watching your progression of ability over the years has been great. Banger after banger. You’re so much better on drums than you previously were. I love your take on this song!
So cool! I love the Relient K vibes.
Creed was the soundtrack of my adolescents and hearing it brought back in such a cool style from that same time period was amazing! Truly great work my man!
That was a long overdue cover done right. I was today years old when I found you. You are super talented Alex. Keep it up.
I can't help but think that anyone trying to do their best job singing along with the original ends up doing an impression of Jeff Bridges' The Dude.
What a knockout of a cover as always.
Exactly what we needed. So good
This vid deserves soooo much more credit!! The work the editing the TIME and this sick ass cover that came from it! Absolutely awesome work!!! Great Job!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Absolutely elevated the song!
I love the production part. More of that please!
5:30 🤯 when did this dude start killing it that much on drums?
Love this video format !!
Awesome work as usual! Always appreciate seeing your thought process on projects and the behind the scenes stuff!
Thank you for fixing this song, Alex ❤
Another amazing rendition!!!! The talent you have is incredible. The musical ear you have is insane, job well done!!!
This would make for a great coffee promo. Id buy that bag in heartbeat.
Dude you’re creative AF. Love this
I love this version. Great job!!!
Killed it!! Once again! Awesome solo. Everything sounds better in pop punk or some kind of metal. Sick!
O melhor de dois mundos. Estou sem palavras!
This is better than the original by a long shot. Absolutely amped up! Love it.
Dang.... definitely very caffeinated. Love it Alex! :)
Dude this is amazing. Definitely listening to this during my workout.
Alex, you are the gift that keeps on giving. Another masterclass in song transformation.
Every video you do is EXCEPTIONAL. Love it!
the multimeter/polyrhythmic shit in this is just fucking great. i love that sense that i've "lost" the tempo/beat only to discover that if i just keep jamming its right there.
A few seconds in I went looking to buy this song, and then I realized you posted the video 2 hours ago. I'll check back later, love your music, keep it up.
I love you going over the process! Include this in every video as far as I'm concerned.
Insane brother! Love your process, thanks for sharing!
Outstanding performance. Talk about being multi talented. This guy is a great musician. Can’t wait to here what your next one is.
Dude, you killed that...absolutely jamming to this after a long 12 hour over night shift. Giving me that boost on my drive home. I love most if not all your stuff,but this one hit different....so so good
This slaps like a skateboard to the face, and im here for it.
Lights out. Enjoyable and well done as always. More than good enough!
