- If you ever wondered how Mark and Tom would sound on the iconic melodies of Don't Stop Believin, you're in luck today! I turned a 4+ min song into barely 3 minutes, just like Blink 182 would want.

‘NOOOIIIITTTT’ - Tom DeLonge, 2021
"HOOOIIIDINNNN' "

I’m dead! XD

more like "Nyyte" in the verse and "Noiiite" in the chorus
She left me roses by the stairs, then took that midnight train going anywhere.
Why is your stapler stuck in jello?
@@jimhalpert4521 Idk, but someone should be pudding them in custardy.
amazing
Okay that's great. I guess what I'm most concerned with is damage to company property...
Dwight!!!
Properly captured the essence of Blink. This is absolutely brilliant!!
So true! The vocal nuances and attention to detail are impeccable.
Didn't think I would run into one of my favorite channels commenting on a cover on based off my favorite band done in the song that might have been the greatest of all time. Life is good today. Love what you do Paul! And I quite agree. This is blink to a T! Even the way he sings the word "light" is exactly them!
Supposed to catch the essence of JOURNEY..which clearly isnt evident.
@@mikegrimes2836 . L
I concur. Its great
Now I wanna hear a Journey style version of All The Small Things or I Miss You.
😂😅
No for real... this is a valid request.
Please no.
If Blink-182 wrote - I don't even care what song comes after. I'm clicking.
You mean some people dont do that?
- by Fallout Boy
Yes, these are my favourite too!
If Blink-182 wrote - Nessun dorma
You're not wrong.
CRUSHED IT.
I hereby submit my official request to play drums on your next "if Blink-182 wrote" song.
The man, the myth, the legend. Been watching you since '09 my guy.
This collab needs to happen!!!!
YES! Legen-what for it- dary!
THE COLLABORATION WE DIDNT KNOW WE NEEDED
I can't believe my eyes! Been watching your videos since day one! This collab should happen!
This is 100% better than I thought it would be.
Next up “All The Small Things” by Journey
"Any Way You Want It" would definitely fit the lyrics of Small Things.
In an alternate universe this somehow exists.
@@supersupersomething in an alternate universe, Journey covers Blink182 songs
The way he said “boulevard” like “boulevauyerd” is very accurate nice job
Totally… and Nooiight and Looiight and a few other spots. Love it. Such a different feel to the song.
Yeh his voices are so accurate
@@oblocals Definitely loving the noight
Strong the Blink-182 is in this one, yes
Devoshyen not devotion also great
This man simply DOES NOT MISS
Correct assessment.
Had to do a double take because I JUST came from watching videos on your channel. My brain momentarily did not compute.
I just saw you on self sufficient me's channel. Today...lol
eh this one was ok.
It’s literally how tom and mark sing
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge this version fucking slaps
Slaps?
I’m soo glad my generation didn’t start using the term slaps
I love when Alex gets with Alex and Alex to make such a bop of a cover. Alex adds so much energy and volume to the group. Alex and Alex both compliment each others sound so much. Alex Always kills it on the drums too. Such a perfect sound together!
The way he says "NOOIIIGHT" sounds exactly how Tom Delonge would say it
STRAIGHT LEIGHTS
That's kinda the point, right?
What the frick kind of accent IS that? I'm too lazy to google where they're from.
@Uncle Ho This and the fact that it's a lot easier to sing the "o" vowel in a higher register than the "i" vowel sound. You see opera singers "morphing" vowels like this all the time but it's obviously more subtle and professionally done than a garage punk band.
They're from California and Tom only started doing this ridiculous accent thing in some songs of the self titled 2004 album. It then became his signature vocal thing he took with him in his angels and airwaves project and other things he did, including the blink "comeback".
To me it was barrable in the self titled album, but anything after that was just too annoying for me and I stopped listening to his new stuff.
Alex is giving us more new Blink 182 songs than Blink 182.
TIL Mark Hoppus is a hack
@@cryojudgement2376 of course, he plays bass with a pick
Opening "Don't Stop Believing" with the intro from "First Date" was a bold choice, and I'm angry it works so well.
Your Blink-182 songs are my new favorite thing on the internet. High praise.
Completely unbelievable, Travis would never wear a shirt for that long.
Literally chortled, thank you. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@rosewraith_ The comment was already killing me, then i read the word "chortled". Thnx, i'm dead now🤣😭💀
Only 42 seconds in and I’ve forgotten this is a classic Journey song I’ve heard hundreds of times and am legit convinced I’m listening to Blink-182. 🤯
Haha I felt the same!
10 days into 2022 and I've just found a whole library of these absolute sick covers!
how the hell are the vocals so spot on like that?!
Dammit, now I want a blink 182 cover band that only covers Journey songs and doesn’t actually play blink 182 haha
a blink 182 cover band that covers other people's songs in the style of blink 182 called "everybody blinks"
@@noseblind2088 for the freaking win. Goal 🥅
Blink183
@@noseblind2088 honestly I would live for that.
Don't Blink or You'll Miss the Journey
The fact that this can exist in the palm of my hands is proof that we live in the best time of human history.
1998 was better
@@galvanizedgnome For some of us
Word❣💫😇
Thousands of people are dying of starvation, millions of people are trafficked and literal genocide is occurring while using slave labor to make that device in your hand. If watching a cover song while sitting on the toilet is your definition of the pinnacle of human history, we got a long way to go.
@@bbloomfield6497 all of those things have happened throughout all of history, with the exception of the phone poop combo lol. Don't come in here and ruin a good time with some half assed wannabe woke bullshit
You mix drums like a pro! That kit sounds amazing especially without eating those huge guitars.
THIS IS AMAZING! The voices, the mannerisms, the moves, even the accent and how he pronounces the words where Tom would sing. The video style, the camera, everything is just so blink 182. This is truly amazing!
I was a karaoke DJ for 5 years. I had to listen to this song sung by people who should never sing this song more than a human being should ever have to hear. This is now officially the only version of the song I ever want to listen to ever again. Thank you.
For the first time in my life I actually like this song now.
I actually would sing this on karaoke, should they make a karaoke version. But yeah, as a karaoke singer, I feel your pain, I absolutely cannot listen to this song when I'm in the mindset of "I'm in a karaoke bar".
shocking how accurate the drums are. this is 100% travis style. every little offbeat ride is perfectly on point. madness
He nailed it 110% Blink sound.
Really nailed the DeLonge vowels. Excellent!
“In the noooight!”
Wow dude. Freaking weirdly, nostalgically, impressive. This actually would have been a killer cover choice by them, I think you did Journey-182 justice!
I will never get over how solid your Tom voice is
This guy actually does a really good impression of Mark Hoppus, sounds just like him tbh. And even tho his voice isn’t as “whiny” as Tom’s , he does a good job of singing in Tom’s style
I'm starting to think it's really blink doing these and Alex is lip syncing it.
Dude you rock. Keep making these forever please. Your Mark voice is like 99%, it's incredible. Your Tom inflections are good, but to me sounds like Mark doing a Tom impression. lol.
Thank you for building this AU where Blink-182 did all the songs. Love every one of them.
All the small songs, to be precise.
Nice one@@rutinerad
Underrated Travis impression, playing with the elbows flared out like that...
Can we stop and talk about the ambiance he was able to achieve, in what seems to be an empty townhouse bedroom?
Big facts. I can't even take a good selfie
Dude i didnt even notice it was a townhouse bedroom til you said that. Epic
Imagine being his neighbor and seeing strobe lights and fog leaking out the second floor window at like 2pm on a Tuesday.
Um... did you hear the song? We've been explicitly instructed to NOT stop
Oh my God
It feels like I am back to high-school year and witness blink182 release their new single.
This is perfect, and in the weird way makes me feel nostalgic.
Being a blink182 fan since the beginning mad props from this 36 year old dad. You rock it out man🤟
The longer the song plays, the stronger the Blink-182 intensifies!
you mean "Delonger the song plays, ... ;-) "
@@berni4688 very punny.
I never knew how bad I needed this in my life...until now
Its basically our new favorite song. Shits going to go gold.
I keep coming back to this song. I can't believe how perfect it is in every way. Each syllable, each note. Incredible!
Discovered your channel and this series of Blink-182 style covers just today. Have to say I'm loving it!
I'm convinced this guy is the 4th member of Blink that no one knew about.
He should have been in instead of the new guy
Besides jerry I’d say 5th
the fourth member of blink will forever be jerry finn
The phantom 4th member. Wonder if anyone gets this reference. :P
I'm Like 182. :D
Bro normally with any cover like of classic rock, you always still get that classic rock feeling regardless of the style. This is pure pop punk, It's almost like the regular version never existed. Amazing
This is fucking incredible. I’m so impressed with how much detail and nuance is evident. You captured the essence very well and performed it all with precision.
I had a smile on my face the whole time this was playing, that has not happened to any song in so long. Thank you
"naaaaah-aight" CRUSHING that Blink pronunciation and I am HERE for it
Let's not overlook that this man, moved a full drum set into the corner, than moved it out to do the guitar and bass recordings in the same space. Good work my man
The blend of both singers of blink works so much better than I thought it would
Man, fantastic. I wish they'd cover stuff like this. Thankfully we have you showing what it might sound like. Fantastic stuff, keep it coming!
Anyone else think it'd be awesome and funny AF if he actually had Travis on drums in one of these Blink reimaginings? Might as well take advantage of this "featuring Travis Barker" trend we're experiencing at the moment
Travis will do it for sure lol!
@@warrensantos9732 Let's hope so lol!
already feels like travis is on the drums.
Next up, Travis Barker on vocals featuring Travis Barker on drums.
This feel like happy version of Neighborhoods imo
For real this makes me miss new blink 182 songs but you’re totally creating and then filling that need. Good stuff man 👍
New favourite- mad at myself for not finding you sooner… I’m enjoying listening to everything on your channel!
He even nailed the quirky little vocal exaggerations. 😅
Well, that was incredible
One thing I love about Alex’s videos (besides the fact they’re excellent) is it looks like he’s having an actually great time making them
This could be on the Neighborhoods albums. So good.
The “Boulevard” at 1:03 was just perfect
this man didn't have to go so hard on nailing Tom DeLonge's accent & mannerisms but he did, he did it for us
Never seen a cover done like this before. Awesome Job!
Like 30 seconds in and I just cranked this WAY up. Omg this is so good!
Hey Alex, don't stop being awesome!
Oh man, I love to randomly find connection in the things I love. Like seeing one of the best wresting related interviewers pop up in a pop punk cover thread. Made my day.
Coolest comment cameo 😂. Love your stuff CVV!
👏👏
This is an interview I would love to see!
Holy crap my favorite wrestling interviewer likes this just like me. Noooooice
Lucky to be alive in the same timeline as you bro. You will live forever as a Legend.
Dude I would honestly buy a record of this if you ever put it out. Not only do I love Blink, but your perspective and music abilities is amazing. You are awesome my unknown friend.
Dude! I just found your stuff. Your doing amazing work please keep making amazing music, I’m addicted!!!
The fact that people are arguing if this should be a +44 or Angels and Airwaves cover just proves it's Blink
This actually sounds like how blink 182 songs are structured and it's glorious
Yeah that's kinda the point of this vid...
The time changes to half time and then back to normal are perfectly placed. You always do a great job with this, even with your more recent videos. Just wanted to call that out - great job!
Man, this is going directly to my fave's playlist. Great job!
Amazing as always. Alex is proof that early 2000’s rock isn’t dead.
Except its mid 00s and later style blink...
Honestly was the last best time for music. LET IT LIVE FOREVER!
Early 00's pop punk**
Machine Gun Kellys new album is basically an homage to the pop punk we grew up. I don't care for that guy too much but I love the whole album.
@@Love_Yaelokre mgk only gets views when he has actual good artists featured in his songs. Guys trash with his monotone “pop punk” voice. Glad he went back to his roots though after Eminem destroyed his rap career. Only thing he’s done good besides that was the Motley Crue movie.
“IN THE NUOAIGHT” 100% accurate
The tone and meaning completely and uttly changes with the style, im super impressed
Friggin killed it with the "Tom vocals". "Up and down the boo-luh-vaurrd, shadows searching in the noooight" 10/10
I see a "if blink wrote" video, and I click. Super simple
This sound takes me back to an alternate high school timeline in which I never actually existed.
hahaha the voices (and all the rest) are perfect. The way you do Tom singing "nii-oo-iight" is great.
god, this is gold.
You really nailed Travis Barker's drum style w/ the fills and building pre chorus to chorus
It's absolutely amazing how well this works. I couldn't imagine what this was going to sound like before i clicked it, but now I can't get it out of my head.
Gave me the same chillz I would get whenever I heard a new Blink-182 song back in the day...well done dude!
There are many things Alex gets right when he makes these, but for me, I love that he knows the best Blink songs have both Mark and Tom singing equally.
The over-the-top Tom accent in this is just spectacular. Strong work Melton.
Most of the time when people try and emulate Tom's voice, it ends up cringey. This guy nails it though.
This also proves that solid melodies work in most styles.
You are absolutely fkn amazing man. Please never stop doing this. Absolutely amazing. Cheers 🍻!
I'm a simple man. I see a Blink-182 tribute/cover, I thumbs up.
Need this full Blink album to drop ASAP
Love your stuff dude! I’m a huge pop punk fan and I love your ability to impersonate my favorite bands along with big hits.
Bro, you just made me love a song I cannot stand. You’re the shizz homie🙌🏼
ITS THE WAY YOU SAY “night” that seals it forever green. This was completely unexpected on auto play on my TH-cam. Sir, you won the Internet this month. I envy your talents and I’m really appreciative that you made this thank you
Holy shit, I found this, immediately thought of you, and here you are in the comments.

From instruments to vocals to rendition this is one of my favorite channel now
This is a testament for pop punk bands everywhere. There’s a market!!!!
I declare this the Blink183. Now do every song there is.
And boxcar's "there is"
If Angel's & Airwaves wrote "there is"
@@Clarity95 It will just be the same sound lol
Man, Blink 183 is such a good name name
Blink 182 but it's Good Vibrations
wow. just WOW. this is straight outta neighborhoods i’m obsessed
Please do more of these. Awesome job!!
That opening riff feels just like She's Out of Her Mind
Lmao true
I have literally never listened to this song on purpose until today.
Absolute perfection. Especially the vocals.
This found it's way across my feed, and my life is immediately better for it.
