you'd be surprised how many of the backing bands for the massive country singers were scene kids back in the day from smaller emo/punk/metal/metalcore bands
I mean they both share a lot of the same concept and music theory. Both are angsty and meant to spark feelings of nostalgia. Country just does it with more twang and punk with overdrive and distortion
Love this! RIP to one of the all-time greats! Grew up listing to Toby Keith with my dad. Both are gone now, and this brings back fond memories of driving in the summer as a kid. Thanks, Alex!
Dude, I sing like this all the time, mixing genres and I am glad I landed on your channel. It started with Fast Car but I saw this and had to click immediately. Will be listening more! Wish we could jam.
I enjoy All Country music before the 2000s. Toby Keith one of the kings of country will forever be missed. You did a great tribute here. I don't like most of the new crap country that's come out recently! I hate modern pop music but I really enjoy All your versions of any genre! Keep up the hard work I'm sure it will pay off. I'll keep an eye out for your album!!
Alex is the Dave Grohl of RUclips covers. Amazing at everything, of course… but the fact that he can bang the drums that skillfully puts him on another level. Well done, sir… Well Done
The world needs a country male version of "That's What You Get" by Paramore! And you're the man for the job
Color me intrigued. Has there ever been a country song in 3/4?
I think that would be really dope
@jonathandulin8753 cowboy cha cha's are done in 3/4 time. It's basically a waltz
It's funny how 90's country and emo rock just go together

I think good artists can do any song in any style. It’s about the interpretation and creativity.
@@FreediverRob oh for sure, I don’t disagree
There is so much similarity in the placement of the accents in the rhythmic patterns. The guitar parts translate so seamlessly.
Talk about a gold mine! This should be done with each and every country song. 🙂
YES INDEED !!!!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀
HE’S BACK. Can’t wait for your new stuff to drop.
How do you like me now?! Is begging for this treatment 😂
Covered by Blink?
Welcome back! What a banger. Perfect for my "country music but make it Warped Tour" Spotify playlist
I need this playlist... Is that the title, and is it public?
@@AirmanJack yes and yes. Also look out for my Disney and Taylor swift and happy holidays editions.
@@AirmanJackyup! I said yup once already but I don't see that reply anymore.
This proves that country is just farm emo
Dude this cover rocks. Rest in peace Mister Keith.
As someone who grew up on 80’s and 90’s Country, I appreciate this. This has always been my favorite Toby Keith song.
Even though this isn’t my favorite genre, I appreciate the work Alex puts into all his covers. Dude’s got so much talent!
(And skill time and effort)
One of the GOATs covering one of the GOATs. Incredible!
TK would be proud - let's carry on his awesome legacy - hope Willy and the Gang pop in here and give you some virtual hugs - great work
I can’t believe how good you are at all of this Alex. Excited for the album!
the kid just don't miss. what a banger.
Toby Keith is smiling from Heaven bro. LOVE IT!
OMG this has got to be the best country one you've done yet. MOOOAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Alex I've missed you!!! Way to make a comeback with this one! 😍
Love this! RIP to one of the all-time greats! Grew up listing to Toby Keith with my dad. Both are gone now, and this brings back fond memories of driving in the summer as a kid. Thanks, Alex!
RIP Toby Keith 🤠🙏
Are you in my head?! I've had this song stuck in my head for the last 24 hours, and then you just casually drop this banger?!
I like the bass player just kickin it and killin it on the sofa
banger! thanks for all the great music alex
This guy is my official playlist for my drives from Niagara Falls to Nashville. Thank you for making the music, that you do
love the lasso dance move LOL
Dude, I sing like this all the time, mixing genres and I am glad I landed on your channel. It started with Fast Car but I saw this and had to click immediately. Will be listening more! Wish we could jam.
I really like your music. Please keep adding stuff like this
This is such a banger, loved it
Just did a deep dive a couple of days ago on the old videos - great to see a new one, and a banger at that.
One of the few country song I actually like, and you made it even better. No disrespect to Toby Keith but damn is this good!
The dude is back! And he's back with a banger
Ok first, this cover is amazing, great job! Second, at 3:43, it sounds almost like he's saying "stealing the young girl's horse" 🤣
I didn't catch the title of the video at first, and it took me a minute to differentiate this from something that'd be on country music radio today.
I love how the bass player is chillin’ on the couch!
Seriously this is killin’
You have serious talent!!!!!!!!
So good. I grew up on country and fell in love with other emo/pop punk as a teen so thank you for this. Much needed rip Toby Keith
Nice to watch and hear the beautiful music from the beautiful man Alex Melton! God bless you! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your writing is incredible dude. It's like you took the song apart and put it back together again into something familiar but totally new. Unreal.
Yay, you're back.
