I never played GTA, but my friends did, and I loved the 80's radio stations in Vice City, even got some of them as cd's. This totally gives me that vibe :)
yes, THAT'S THE PERFECT THOUGHT for PERFECT TIMES and better MUSIC!! you win the comment thread!!.. too bad more bands from the 2000s era didnt use Blinks style. most of these covers are far better than the originals❤🔥👏 ... really tho, this makes me just want a new cd from blink; all old and unreleased stuff.. or new-new, w.e, just NEED them vibes back in my life 😶🌫🎶🎧😌
One thing you missed. The lyrics should’ve been “her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her foreYead” because she’s probably already the voice inside his yead. 😂
I was at blink concert two months ago in Amsterdam, at the end of Dammit during this tour, Mark sings a part from No Scrubs just like in this version here :)@@MickeyD100
"Feeling This" absolutely wrecked me with creepy-crawly goosebumps, like I was suddenly hearing it for the first time. It's a song I always liked but felt like I should love, like there was something not quite right with it. A song I memorized the words to, but felt unsatisfied by. Apparently I just needed a grunge-country(?) treatment of it. Fucking ecstatic.
Perfect blend of 90s throwback and pop punk. Thanks for bringing a fresh sound to these songs. 😊 Ive raised my 3 and 5 year old on the original songs and your take on it makes it even more fun for them.
Amazing how instantly nostalgic these songs are. Never heard your arrangements for a bunch of these before and even so, it was like talking to an old friend. I'm back in 1999 in 8th grade when I listen to your stuff man. Hits me in the feels every damn time. Long live Blink 182 and your covers!!!!!!
I casually watch your videos, what makes me impressed is your innovation ability, even in the video format, I always thought you'd keep doing like, cool cover versions of cool songs and here we are, in the next level. I hope you have a long life as a TH-camr, really, you're one of a kind.
Alex, you by far are my favorite artist! I asked and you delivered. This BBQ weekend with Miller Lites up on the porch will not disappoint. Thank you for another power hour!
This makes me laugh.... which feels like a totally inappropriate reaction but some of these I figured wouldn't work but are absolutely incredible. You're out of control and I hope that never changes. Please keep hearing the pop punk anthem in every song you hear.
You are so talented! I've been listening to your covers for a couple of years now -- you never fail to impress. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
If this had been a album available for purchase before everyone started getting their music digitally online I would definitely have bought this now all I can say is thank God for TH-cam.
Oh my God, I think I've never been happier to see a new video as I am with this one. Haven't even listened to it but still my heart's racing. Thank you Alex!
I got to the Blink 182 party about a decade after their earlier stuff came out. I absolutely love old blink (not so keen on their new stuff). At any rate you have totally scratched the “old school” blink itch I have and with great songs. Thanks much for that!
Dude you’ve become one of my favorite channels to watch and listen to at work. I just listened to you Punk Rock MDA interview, and I’m super stoked you’re doing this full time now! Like you’re really inspirational to musicians trying to stake out on there own. Keep doing what you’re doing my guy, cause it’s obviously working. Also from one drummer to another, sick job on keeping that Travis feel even though you’re not playing his stuff note for note, it really does sound like he’s playing.
Woaw Alex, I'm blown away, you have captured them so perfectly. Honestly it feels like one of these new AI tools where you can just type in any band and any song and it will recreate the song in that style, you have such a talent! But I must just say, I really admire your ability as a musician to create this, all these songs recreated flawlessly IMO as if Blink would have done them. The time and effort you put into this is not lost on me, it's really amazing man. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Those were all fantastic! I was wondering how you were going to do 'One Week', but you pulled in off in perfect Blink 182 fashion. Great job and keep doing what you do.
I'm only on song 1 but for the fact that our dear Alex did this I wish I could afford to do one of those super likes where you send money as a "Thank You". Thank you, Alex!! ❤ I needed this
Alex Melton as Blink-182 needs to be it's own channel on GTA V radio
Or GTA 6 🙂
Totally agree for GTA6 * BRO contact them and become rich please
But actually..
That would be awesome!!
I never played GTA, but my friends did, and I loved the 80's radio stations in Vice City, even got some of them as cd's. This totally gives me that vibe :)
I would legitimately buy an album of all blink182 covers
Me too
Take my $$!
No doubt! ❤
Me too ✋🏻
For sure!
Blink should actually do this but in the style of Alex Melton
Blinkception
Better than blink182 now
Best
There totally needs to be an Alex melton style. 😝
Blink should actually hire Alex Melton as their songwriter.
"Do you think time, would pass me BUHYEEEEE?"
lol I love it
Also he said “TOIME”
@@nitsuj182 if eyeoiiii could just see youiiii
The insane amount of work to arrange, perform, and mix all of this.....
Arrange what? They're covers and they all sound the same.
@@sidvicious332found the guy who doesn’t understand how music is made
@@justinhall7379 username checks out, too
Alex makes these as one off videos and this is just a bunch of them from over the years. Still impressive but not all made just for this video.
@@sidvicious332Your username suits you like a glove.
Cause Sid Vicious was a chippy idiot as well.
Every single song feels like it should be on American Pie.
Fucking stunning creations mate. Love it.
yes, THAT'S THE PERFECT THOUGHT for PERFECT TIMES and better MUSIC!! you win the comment thread!!.. too bad more bands from the 2000s era didnt use Blinks style. most of these covers are far better than the originals❤🔥👏 ...
really tho, this makes me just want a new cd from blink; all old and unreleased stuff.. or new-new, w.e, just NEED them vibes back in my life 😶🌫🎶🎧😌
69th like :3
Now this is an album I'd buy!
One thing you missed. The lyrics should’ve been “her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her foreYead” because she’s probably already the voice inside his yead. 😂
As a former radio operator/DJ, love this power hour idea. Your creativity is inspiring.
this is insanely good - have blink ever acknowledged your work? You capture their style perfectly
I believe Tom recently reposted Alex on his IG stories if my terrible memory isn’t mistaken 😂
I was at blink concert two months ago in Amsterdam, at the end of Dammit during this tour, Mark sings a part from No Scrubs just like in this version here :)@@MickeyD100
@@audriuslebednykas8025 Sorry to burst your bubble but he's been doing that for 25 years.
@@vooduh ahh, ok, didnt know that
when they had it, blink really had it and it was great times
Man, saw them a couple days ago. They put one helluva show! If you get the chance go see them!!
@@jeffleonard343 Hell yeah man, I saw them in Dallas. That was an incredible show.
when? they still have it man
Saw them in Vancouver last week, and they still have it. Had an absolute blast.
They still have it.
I am always impressed with the drum arrangements in these covers. I'm not sure Travis Barker would play them any differently.
I'm sure he would
Travis would do a lot more hi hats lol
Podcast ❌
1 hour of blink ✔️
would it be possible to upload thsi session to spotify as a podcast Alex?
Best way to get Rick Rolled - wasn't even mad
Blink 182: "Damn, I wish we were as good as Alex..."
"Feeling This" absolutely wrecked me with creepy-crawly goosebumps, like I was suddenly hearing it for the first time. It's a song I always liked but felt like I should love, like there was something not quite right with it. A song I memorized the words to, but felt unsatisfied by.

You are the hero we don't deserve.
Perefect :)
You’re my new favorite band.
One Week works really well. You got a thumbs up for that alone.
Perfect blend of 90s throwback and pop punk. Thanks for bringing a fresh sound to these songs. 😊 Ive raised my 3 and 5 year old on the original songs and your take on it makes it even more fun for them.
So... 2002 radio?
We don't deserve you, Alex, thank you for everything you do! I started to tear up when Feeling This came on ♥
Amazing how instantly nostalgic these songs are. Never heard your arrangements for a bunch of these before and even so, it was like talking to an old friend. I'm back in 1999 in 8th grade when I listen to your stuff man. Hits me in the feels every damn time. Long live Blink 182 and your covers!!!!!!
It‘s 9am here in Europe and this already made my day. Thank you so much for creating and uploading all these songs!
A Thousand Miles sounds like Mark doing an impression of Tom

The "TOM VOICE " just ended with me spitting ☕️ all over the dashboard... BYEEEEEEEE
I listened to this on my commute home and found myself reacting like it was radio. This was a lot of fun!
Love Sweetness cover, the best song in my opinion
This acoustic version of Always is simply amazing,
Came here to say this
This whole set is a banger, Ive listened to all these from your channel, just something about them being in all one video is genius. Love it my dude!
Dude, how TF do you sound like both Tom and Mark singing at the exact same time?
Was just saying that!
what a surprise with your "Feeling This" version,
before this, I never think that song can sing with this style.
I love these longer radio format videos!
Alex, you by far are my favorite artist! I asked and you delivered. This BBQ weekend with Miller Lites up on the porch will not disappoint. Thank you for another power hour!
I'll bring potato and pasta salads!
I literally heard Blink sing no Scrubs this week and you absolutely nailed their pitch (you always do it)
I wonder if Mark knows about Alex and that's why he sang it on this tour.
@@TheJoeyFerrarothey’ve being doing the TLC bit live since early 2000 I think. It’s not new.
You are a blessing Alex, thanks for your talent, your songs got me trough some rough shit in the past, greetings from a huge fan from Argentina.
What an incredible piece of art this was. You really captured both the experience of blink and radio lol. You rock, dude
Man have I been singing this treatment of "Feeling This" to myself every day for a week. All those dipthongs adding an extra rhythmic element. So good
Big fan Alex keep doing what you're doing! I love your music and your covers so much! Favorite cover artist by FAR.
The way i love these mixes, even the fake radio stuff is just amazing🔥
This makes me laugh.... which feels like a totally inappropriate reaction but some of these I figured wouldn't work but are absolutely incredible. You're out of control and I hope that never changes. Please keep hearing the pop punk anthem in every song you hear.
You are so talented! I've been listening to your covers for a couple of years now -- you never fail to impress. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
That semi charmed kinda loyfe is something else man.. what a perfect rendition. Perfect.
I also absolutely love the conceit of a radio announcer. And "Loife" was a great touch.
This has made me incredibly happy today. That and ☕️☕️☕️
If this had been a album available for purchase before everyone started getting their music digitally online I would definitely have bought this now all I can say is thank God for TH-cam.
One of the most underrated channels on this platform…
Super Hyped for another WMLT broadcast. Would love an acoustic calmer hour next!
mad props for the material, a tip for the future: add originial artists names in parentheses on the playlist
"Sweetness" is a total banger :)
dude i listen to this every single day while I work! it makes me feel happy!
Wait a minute. I thought it was really Blink 182. 😮 you're so cool
Siiickkk! I love your arrangements and i'm stoked for this playlist!
Absolute masterpiece. This should be preserved
I agree bro. ❤
Oh my God, I think I've never been happier to see a new video as I am with this one. Haven't even listened to it but still my heart's racing. Thank you Alex!

it's kinda wild that some of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands are actually just Alex pretending to be them.
Woaw Alex, I'm blown away, you have captured them so perfectly. Honestly it feels like one of these new AI tools where you can just type in any band and any song and it will recreate the song in that style, you have such a talent!

Alex, you deserve every bit of success you ever get. You're an incredible talent!
This has to be the best cover work I've ever seen, gonna have this on repeat for the next few weeks
Brilliant. Great to hear some songs that I was never keen on completely transformed and reworked into something seemingly so familiar
Yahuh. I normally hate 1000miles 😂 Brilliant job of rearranging it Blink style!!! 🤩
Those were all fantastic! I was wondering how you were going to do 'One Week', but you pulled in off in perfect Blink 182 fashion. Great job and keep doing what you do.
You need to do a part 2 ! this is gold
I'm only on song 1 but for the fact that our dear Alex did this I wish I could afford to do one of those super likes where you send money as a "Thank You".
Thank you, Alex!! ❤ I needed this
The sweetness , Jimmy eat world cover is so good. Def need more please!
Love it, especially the acoustic ones. Makes me really listen to the lyrics and just gives a fresh perspective on it :)
I cannot give this enough likes. This is CRIMINALLY underrated.
This is just incredible, my man! I honestly don't think Blink themselves would have done this so well
Thanks for these amazing covers and songs. You've become my new favorite artist in such a short amount of time.
Fantastic! Love the summer radio format for these incredible covers.
Oh Yeah! Thanks Alex for putting them all in one spot!
Found myself harmonizing to the acoustic Always. I absolutely love this, Alex!
Holy shit, man - this is genius! If I could only watch one channel for the rest of my life, this would be it. Thank you.
I dislike some of the songs on the list but the Blink182 versions by Alex make them bearable and even really groovy. Thanks Alex!
Fun fact: When I was a kid, I thought the line was, "A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly, and is also known as a *bus stop*." 😅😂
Steve Terreberry should totally include that on one of his TTS test videos 😂
Perfect Marc, and I can imagine what Tom would sound like in certain parts thanks to the arrangement.
This is brilliant Alex - big fan of the format. Plus kind of proving the whole necessity is the mother of invention bit
This is so cool!
This was sincerely great. Love your takes on all these.
This is awesome work, man! Keep this up!!!! You literally provided the perfect soundtrack to this workday that i didn’t know i needed until now 🎉
I feel like you need to be more famous! This is such a treat!! Your talent is out of this world, seriously
This sounds too good to be true
Alex is the 5th member of the band. That is why they have 5 arrows on their logo.
This was the best time i ever had mowing my lawn. Thanks.
Just so good, I absolutely love this. Thanks for putting this together!!
Don't stop believing is incredible! You could release this as a cover single. Thanks for all you hard work to put this together.
Please upload this to the streaming platforms so I can listen to it while driving! Awesome work!
Rick Astley's cover is thrilling.
You could just listen to it on youtube while you drive
Semi-Charmed Life caught me off guard, you got a few full-chested laughs. Thank you.
Utter brilliance.
Perfect, now I can listen in my car hitting the road. Waiting for Spotify album of this!
Alex, you're incredible dude. Please never stop doing what you do.
This will be the Soundtrack of my Summer 2023! Thank you Alex for being awesome!!!
Alex's voice is the sound track of our summer, do you know hes unlike any other, he'll always be our thunder!
I’d love to see your power hours put into a group or folder or something. I spend hours of my day lost in this brilliance!
you're the best pop punk artist out there Alex.
I love your music. Keep doing this awesome work
"Semi Charmed Loife" - this is awesome😂
Alex out here doin gods work with these covers GOD DAMN this is sick af
Semi Charmed Loife cracked me tf up bro. This is absolutely brilliant
Really enjoy your channel Alex. Your covers are brilliant.
Keep up the class work!
Alex you are the best thing that happened to pop punk in recent years
