Make your way out to Chicago, and I’ll do my best to get you booked at House Of Blues! I’m an engineer over there. We do a handful of emo nights throughout the year, you would kick the shit out of the DJ’s we have on roster.
I'm a 39 year old dad with a mortgage... when I close my eyes and listen to your music suddenly It's 2008 again and can't wait for Friday to come around so that I can go out to shows with my friends. Thank you!
Doesn’t have to be 2008 brother! You can incorporate punk into your daily life still, book time off the kids to go to a show, live life the way you want - fk all the pretence of getting older and who you should be. You only get old when you let it happen.
As a drummer myself, he's absolutely amazing. If he's all over the internet, I need to see more of his drumming because he's FANTASTIC. One of the best I've seen
Ummm...the drummer CLEARLY wasn't playing the licks we heard for this video...he might've laid them down originally, but good lord is this video the epitome of a fake "live" show - band was obviously prerecorded (rhythm section first, guitars second, Alex last and live) . Not a bad thing, but just wanted to point out that it was clearly recorded in 3 different session - Alex's vocals/guitar/talking was really the only thing that was actually live, and he did that in a room by himself.
When I read “full band celebration” I thought it was going to be you in different outfits like your birthday celebration to yourself 😂… either way I would have been stoked but this was awesome! Thanks!!!
Being a drummer I normally can’t stand the sound of electronic drums but somehow you made them sound great. And that drummer I think had a lot to do with it. Dudes got chops, well done bud.
The waves of nostalgia you give makes me forget about the depression and stress of getting old and every day life. Thanks from a dad who truly appreciates what you do!
Freakin love rewatching the last few milestone vids on repeat, happy to finally get on here as it’s premiering!! Congrats man, constantly blasting and sharing your originals and covers 👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻 Super eager for what’s comin for you man!!
The fact that I’ve listened to your covers so many times on Spotify that I don’t even remember what the originals sound like anymore……I’m happy to be here.
It ain't the same as Alex and the meltons... Its an evolution and I freaking love it!! Congrats on the growth both on subcount and the ability to have the live band!!! Big love x
This is amazing. The energy through the screen is unbelievable. Didn't see an option to send money through YT and was happy to see the venmo come up on the screen.
I am having breakfast and I couldn't be more full. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your talent, Alex! Congratulations on the well deserved 300k+ more! Watching you from the Philippines 🙌🇵🇭
It's absolutely AWESOME to get to see you go to full-time music in real-time and can't wait for the album. Congrats on 300k! I'm going to the emo night in May so I'll see you in Nashville!
Feeling down yesterday and today and as I was scrolling through my TH-cam feed this morning your video pops up. Immediately clicked and feeling much better. Music is an amazing drug.
Mate, Im so happy to see where youve come. I've been a fan since your Never Getting Back Together cover and its amazing to see your progression as an artist. We have a joke in our friend group that you never miss and its so true, cant wait to see what you dont miss at next!
You honestly have the cleanest sound on youtube. The electronic drums combined with a REALLY clean mix just gives your stuff such a crystal clear sound. I've seen your gear demo and your not working with too much and I think that's why - keep it simple. This should be the benchmark and goal of all youtube musicians.
I love all your songs mate. You became the artist of choice during our games nights. We literally have you on loop for hours. Here's to another 300,000+
It amazes me how you only have 300k subs. I came across you during lockdown and now your songs are all I listen to. I listen to them so much that when I hear the originals they don’t sound right anymore. I have your whole Amazon prime song list in a play list for whenever I go driving. Keep up the good work and keep the songs coming.
Congratulations for the 300K subscribers Alex. I love all your videos and I can't wait for your album to come out. I have a lot of your songs on my playlist that I listen to when I work on the book I'm writing, so thanks for the music. Once again congratulations.
Alex legit has given me the confidence to study music full time even though I have unbelievable anxiety when it comes to performing, but i want to do this so bad. Thanks so much man and congrats on 300K you deserve heaps man.
You got this. It's normal to feel that way. Excitement and anxiety before performing are very close chemically in our brain you aren't far off from overcoming it :)
Just a bit of advice, I would advise to not only study theory, but literature, philosophy, art, architecture, all of it as well. Artistic history goes hand in hand with philosophy; it's a dialectic and understanding all of it is what separates greatness from mediocrity. It will help you contextualize the universal human condition but of course your own particularity will show in your art.
Congrats on 300k subs. Well deserved. Happy to take a short break from my vacation to listen to some great covers. The band sounds great. Looking forward to the cross country tour in the future.

Would you cover
Scatman by Scatman John
In Blink or another style ?
: )
If this happens I will do my best to show up and rock the fuck out!
Wow!!!!! Your arrangements of everything is 🤯
I'm a 39 year old dad with a mortgage... when I close my eyes and listen to your music suddenly It's 2008 again and can't wait for Friday to come around so that I can go out to shows with my friends. Thank you!
I'm you, you're me just turned 39 March 31
Samzies brother.
Ditto!
Same, but 37!
Doesn’t have to be 2008 brother! You can incorporate punk into your daily life still, book time off the kids to go to a show, live life the way you want - fk all the pretence of getting older and who you should be. You only get old when you let it happen.
That drummer is the knees of 29 bees! What a beast!!
As a drummer myself, he's absolutely amazing. If he's all over the internet, I need to see more of his drumming because he's FANTASTIC. One of the best I've seen
Totcho: "am i a joke to you?"
Came here to say this. SO solid.
Ummm...the drummer CLEARLY wasn't playing the licks we heard for this video...he might've laid them down originally, but good lord is this video the epitome of a fake "live" show - band was obviously prerecorded (rhythm section first, guitars second, Alex last and live) . Not a bad thing, but just wanted to point out that it was clearly recorded in 3 different session - Alex's vocals/guitar/talking was really the only thing that was actually live, and he did that in a room by himself.
I love how he builds through the whole song to unleash his shenanigans at 13:02 lol
Wow, Alex is going all out for 300k. Even putting on customes that look like real people.
When I read “full band celebration” I thought it was going to be you in different outfits like your birthday celebration to yourself 😂… either way I would have been stoked but this was awesome! Thanks!!!
haha same here, boy was that a surprise. Amazing
Can we take a minute to appreciate that drummers double kick skills.
Congrats on 300K!
Man, that drummer though. So tight and clean! I want to see more of him.
Seriously - dude has so much presence!
@@NickSmall u got a TH-cam dude?
@@zachwilliams2369 yeah I do.
Freaking tight drum player !! Let’s try to keep the Melton’s touch through new musicians !
Dude, for real. Those fills were unreal and about as intricate as one could ask for while still fitting perfectly.
Smooth Mcfly on drums stole the show but the whole band is damn fine.
Most chilled drummer I've ever seen
The drummer is amazing on the half time drums of The Middle! Love the work!
Being a drummer I normally can’t stand the sound of electronic drums but somehow you made them sound great. And that drummer I think had a lot to do with it. Dudes got chops, well done bud.
Roland v drums are amazing. Made the switch myself, wishing I had more cymbals though.
drum packs nowadays sound better than most acoustic kids lmao
I love how happy the drummer is.
Congratulations on 300k! 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
He deserves it!
That drum fill and smirk at 12:59 is everything
Can't wait for the 500k and 1mil streams. So glad I found you back when I did. Love the content
Life has been better since finding Alex Melton. Congrats on the 300k sir!
Guitars sound IMMACULATE, this was such a treat!
Congrats on the 300k! The Espada looks great on ya!
All of you are very, very talented. But the drummer....The drummer, man. Wow.
The waves of nostalgia you give makes me forget about the depression and stress of getting old and every day life. Thanks from a dad who truly appreciates what you do!
You're all talented and all of these covers are amazing but the drummer is smooth with it lol
i'm so happy for being 1 of this 300k people 🥺💖
That percussionist! Wow he's so good! I've been playing for 35 years and can't touch that one bit. What talent!
You can tell how stoked the bassist is to get to drive the car during Don't Stop Believin'. I'm here for it dude!
I saw these dudes live a while back at a local emo night. They killed it!
As a drummer, love the way the drummer plays. So relaxed and confident in his ability.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words
wow... low key you can tell the drummer isn't even trying lol. I wonder what he looks like when he goes full throttle!
Freakin love rewatching the last few milestone vids on repeat, happy to finally get on here as it’s premiering!! Congrats man, constantly blasting and sharing your originals and covers 👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻 Super eager for what’s comin for you man!!
The drummer and bass player absolutely stole this show -- incindary drums with an incredible bass tone. Well done, boys.
This gave me full live performance energy and vibes. Aggressively chair dancing and headbanging in my home. Thank you and congratulations!!
Y'all are so damn talented, I am so happy I found your channel. I'm going to throw a few bucks your way.
I can't wait for another milestone celebration! These are awesome!
Ugh that roll @13:02! What a drummer! 👏🏻😃👏🏻

But I don’t think I’ve ever been more pleasantly surprised.

Close enough for my short trip to my memory lane. Huge fan from Malaysia. You guys're awesome! Can't get enough of everything by you guys.
Amazing!! Celebration from Japan

Man, that Mr Brightside cover hit different - awesome!
It amazes me how you only have 300k subs. I came across you during lockdown and now your songs are all I listen to. I listen to them so much that when I hear the originals they don’t sound right anymore. I have your whole Amazon prime song list in a play list for whenever I go driving.

Alex legit has given me the confidence to study music full time even though I have unbelievable anxiety when it comes to performing, but i want to do this so bad. Thanks so much man and congrats on 300K you deserve heaps man.
Keep going on! Power through your struggles!
