This song started out as the cover I never knew I needed and ended as the reason why I'm laughing out loud after midnight, alone in my room... Thanks Jon, I needed a good laugh!
I guess you could say... You've made your mistakes... You've got nowhere to run... The night goes on... As You're fading away... You're sick of this life... You just wanna scream... How could this happen to You? Next cover? :D
I have to say I am a HUGE fan of his work, but this takes the cake, not the music for he is an extremely talented artist and his music is always superb. No the reason I LOVE this piece is because of his acting at the end, the humor is HILARIOUS!
I think Jonathan loses a piece of his sanity every video XD I mean....the editing on the Jojo's video was the first hint, now we got this and I just can't XD
"RUclips is miserable and it will never be fixed. "As a much tinier channel, I couldn't agree more! Great cover I love how much fun you had with it! :D
my fav. part is definetly at 1:57 when u lowers the guitar string and jon´s like `okay we do it ur way`. Hilarious i laughed so hard. The jenti Part is the best part of the whole song too though lol!
Do you NOW see what I had to put up with, Jon? You ruined a perfectly good Nickelback cover with your out-of-place, completely unnecessary metal antics. Poor Avril. She deserves better than this.
Cheyenne Dobie I'm sorry, but this is general criticism. Telling him to keep it to himself is just stupid. In the art/music industry, all forms of criticism is accepted. Piss off. Also pretty sure this was sarcastic anyway.
I think the thing I love about his pop cover songs and such, is that it's more than just is deep metal growl voice. Dude can really sing more than just metal.
My predictions: it's going to be a meme-y song with a hint of edginess to it, possibly something like old Three Days Grace. It will be performed in a trash can or he will be just laying on the floor (or both), the vocals will be on point (most of the time) but sometimes you can hear a tiny little "help me" in the background.
4 years later, this is still the funniest and best music video Jonathan has ever done. It's saved in my permanent personal music playlist. More like this please!!
XD Do you know how hard it was to stifle my laughter while watching this at work (on my break, but at my desk)? Jonathan, you are a gem. As a side note, I'd listen to a full version of this song in either style. I wasn't a huge fan of either metal or pop punk before I found your channel, but now I can't get enough of either. Thank you good sir.
Tyler Owens I live in an apartment with thin walls and it's not yet time for my roomates to be up. It was damned hard to not lmao. Thank god for pillows. Lol
2:18 to 2:38 is probably the most impressive part of this video due to your vocal chords being stretched so much to create such a great and rough sound. The whole video though was astounding, to say the least, and reminded me so much of the early 2000's and other bands like early Fall Out Boy and blink-182. Your voice though during that sectioned I mentioned makes me really excited to see how often you put it to use and makes me hope you do a cover of Starving Eyes by Mercenary, a metal band from Denmark. Keep up the great work, Jonathan.
"I always thought he didn't like to be on camera :/" He is on camera on his own channel though. He made some great instrumental songs there by the way.
Jon lives in San Diego and I live in Michigan so most of the covers I produce for him / appear in his videos are shot separately ( which may be why it seems like I don't appear with him in person very often). A couple of weeks ago he flew me out there and we shot 5 or 6 videos together to get ahead of schedule. We have soft plans to do another group of covers together over the summer, I love working with this dude and getting to make content for you guys.
Woooow... That was CRAZYYYY!!! I like the original, but, honestly, you blew my mind away x) Please, please, please, DO keep the hard work, and that awesome creativity and spirit of yours!! Love from Galicia, Spain ;)
"Dude are you serious?" xD Love it! That genre mashup worked so well haha :) I liked the humour element to it (pls do more like it)... Also shoutout to Lee cause \m/
Lee Albrecht Studios Lee, I don't know who's idea this was, but the execution had me laughing louder than I have ever laughed before. Especially your very meme-able part at the end! Genius
Jonathan, are you going through a phase? What's with the 2006 call backs? First Diary of Jane, now Sk8er Boi? Loving it! Edit after watching: This might be my favourite cover you've ever done
Totally loved this cover you did! XD I nearly died of laughter when you went metal and began to change the lyrics! It looks like you had so much fun doing this X3

“I’m not a skater boy but I have a skate board, I can’t do any tricks” *crying from laughing so hard*
Dre Ronayne i laughed hard
best part XD
Hilariou$!
Me too 😂😂
Dre Ronayne as I was reading this he sang that line XD
There's a guitar breakdown and a mental breakdown in the same video
Nice
You mean a MEnTAL breakdown
@@lobiankk77 I'm mad dat I missed dis opportunity.
@@DatFrenchBoi hehe
Nods in appreciation
The way the song just completely falls apart by the end is just... It's the best thing ever. Very nicely done, guys! X3
NeosForme Right! That got me dying by laughter!!
Same
Oh hey its Neos o.o Yeah, agreed xD
It is me! And thank you for reminding me that this video exists. Now I can watch it all afternoon again! X3
NeosForme Big fan of yours! Keep up the good work, and no problem!
"RUclips is miserable, and it will never be fixed" XD
He predicted the new guidelines.
Now it’s shots fired
What's sad about that line is that it's true.
He's spittin straight facts
i know noone cares but im 666th like. just noting for myself
"I'm in a studio, RUclips is miserable, and it never will be fixed" 😂😂
Are you ok Jonathan? do you want to talk?
We can talk this over in therapy Jon, you don't need to be scared.
Jonathan Young Me too, dude.
Ay, but... nice cover, though.
you don't strike me as the sad type, more of the life of the party type
We're here for you Jonathan *Patpat*
Same
"Alright, we'll do it your way."
~proceeds to drop the sickest metal cover of this song I've ever heard~
... Yeah, do that. XD
Shame he didn't go all out whole song
"'He's just a boy and I'm just a girl'" God why did I pick this song" 😂😂😂
"I have no idea"
"Haven't you heard? Yeah, we rock each other's world"
Good say
Funny thing is, he could have just swapped the lyrics around but chose not to
Ik that killed me🤣🤣🤣
it took me a really long time to realize what was going on with Lee's antics until Jon did the deep voice thing
I listened to this on Spotify without seeing the video and I imagined it, but it's a lot better to see it
This song started out as the cover I never knew I needed and ended as the reason why I'm laughing out loud after midnight, alone in my room... Thanks Jon, I needed a good laugh!
a year later and same
Don't we all an it is superb vid
I feel this
Exactly me right now xd
I really love how it just derailed at the end. Never been a more fitting ending for that song 😂
The metal part of Jonathan's singing was absolutely phenomenal!
Its a legitimate cover. With good metal.
Then...
SUDDEN MID LIFE CRISIS
NO ONE EXPECTS THE MID LIFE CRISIS!!!
@@wessmoore7894 And we didn't even know we needed t, until we saw it in the video!!
2:12 that voice man! Like an earthquake through my body...
At least a 7 on the Richter Scale
2:59 "I am in studio singing song Avril Lavigne wrotes about a girl he used to know" XD
i thought he was going to make it gay but even better we got an existential crisis
rosesarewhat I’m not sure the two are mutually exclusive.
@@claduke **CHOKES ON TEA** LMAO
@@claduke *no* piss off
THEY’RE THE SAME THING
I love how you can't cover Sk8er Boy without telling People to shut the Video off, yet you powered through "I'm Blue" and "We are Number One"! XD
One can never make a mistake when We are Number One :D
I guess you could say...
You've made your mistakes...
You've got nowhere to run...
The night goes on...
As You're fading away...
You're sick of this life...
You just wanna scream...
How could this happen to You?
Next cover? :D
Maybe he could do that and have a flashback montage of those other videos
Jonathan Young we are number one is not a mistake I listen to it everyday not lying
Mistakes or not, you look like you're having fun and that's the best part. :)
*its just a phase*
You are there are only two type of Avril Laveign Phases Either you had one earlier in life and left or you never left.
A jonathan lavigne phase!
IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE MOM
It’s just a phase... a really REALLY long phase.
Trust me. Not a phase.
I have to say I am a HUGE fan of his work, but this takes the cake, not the music for he is an extremely talented artist and his music is always superb. No the reason I LOVE this piece is because of his acting at the end, the humor is HILARIOUS!
That wasn't acting, that was the regrets of a cover artist. Poor thing
I think Jonathan loses a piece of his sanity every video XD
I mean....the editing on the Jojo's video was the first hint, now we got this and I just can't XD
"RUclips is miserable and it will never be fixed. "As a much tinier channel, I couldn't agree more!
Great cover I love how much fun you had with it! :D
Welcome to Jonathan’s slow descent into madness.
I hope his decent is as beautiful as pew's is
Or maybe the madness has always been lurking beneath the surface biding its time
Jonathan Young is descending into a state if unstable mental health at a lower than average speed.
"Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here."
I feel like it started with his "We Are Number One" cover...
When the video goes from "surprisingly amazing cover" to "fuck it- I don't know what I'm doing anymore!" in under 4 minutes.
I unironically like this cover.
Red Wing the power of actual talent being applied to memes
my fav. part is definetly at 1:57 when u lowers the guitar string and jon´s like `okay we do it ur way`. Hilarious i laughed so hard. The jenti Part is the best part of the whole song too though lol!
Do you NOW see what I had to put up with, Jon? You ruined a perfectly good Nickelback cover with your out-of-place, completely unnecessary metal antics. Poor Avril. She deserves better than this.
Come on Caleb. We all know Nickelback needed an update.
And it was quite an improvement, if I do say so myself.
ithink this time the "out-of-place, completely unnecessary metal antics" was actually the best bit by far
Cheyenne Dobie
I'm sorry, but this is general criticism. Telling him to keep it to himself is just stupid.
In the art/music industry, all forms of criticism is accepted.
Piss off.
Also pretty sure this was sarcastic anyway.
Jon and I are friends. We collab. I'll say whatever I want to his goofy mug.
Caleb Hyles oh someones a bit sassy tonight.
"RUclips is miserable and it never will be fixed."
OKAY JONATHAN I just came here to enjoy the memes. I wasn't expecting it to get real in here.
Thanks!
I think the thing I love about his pop cover songs and such, is that it's more than just is deep metal growl voice. Dude can really sing more than just metal.
Your memes are moistening.
Crysis Music succulent.
S U C C U L E N T
meme game on point
*D A N K*
0:04 I need that as a gif lol
makeagif.com/i/e6NbFl
You're welcome.
That's actually fucking wonderful thank you lmao
All and you shall receive. (I also downloaded the gif just now after reading these comments lol)
Onii-sama that gif is awesome 😍😍
loll!
I giggled all the way through this and just about lost my chocolate milk at 2:38! Hahahaha
More than two years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on this channel just because of how much fun it is. Lol
More than 5 years after release and it's still phenomenal!
It's not every video you can see a professional youtube musician go through a mid-life crisis. *gives Jonathan a standing ovation* Bravo, good sir!
This made me laugh I am less nervous about my voice over auditions now. Thanks Johnathan young
If this is what he's covering now, imagine what's coming on April 1st.
DYLZAL Oh dear God
He will probably do Totaka's Song.
My predictions: it's going to be a meme-y song with a hint of edginess to it, possibly something like old Three Days Grace. It will be performed in a trash can or he will be just laying on the floor (or both), the vocals will be on point (most of the time) but sometimes you can hear a tiny little "help me" in the background.
It better be whats up by 4 non blodes
...That might be around the time he hits 1 million subs, from the looks of things.
I'm scared.
2:49 is where we see the man rapidly disintegrate into true madness...
"RUclips is miserable and it never will be fixed"
Well, he isn't wrong there.
4 years later, this is still the funniest and best music video Jonathan has ever done. It's saved in my permanent personal music playlist. More like this please!!
Jonathan, making every song more awesome.
Wes Papes truuuee
The memes are slowly corrupting Jonathan's soul, it won't be long before he becomes 🅱️🅾️N🅰️TH🅰️N 🅱️🅾️U 🆖️
can I get uhhhh 🅱️ONELESS COVER
W E T 🅱️🅾️ℹ
A sad, strange little man agreed
A spooky, scary little man i like my 🅱onathans 🅱oneless
2:11 Godmode activates
firefliesowlcity12 is it just me, or am i the only who wants the whole song like this? Just like Lee wants to make it :-P
Jonathan has one of the best metal voices I've ever heard.
His expressions through all of this are gold. His voice is amazing. 2:50 took me by surprise. Nice high note tho.
Also, you good over there, man?
Speechless... Are you ok, mate?
XD Do you know how hard it was to stifle my laughter while watching this at work (on my break, but at my desk)? Jonathan, you are a gem.
As a side note, I'd listen to a full version of this song in either style. I wasn't a huge fan of either metal or pop punk before I found your channel, but now I can't get enough of either. Thank you good sir.
Tyler Owens I live in an apartment with thin walls and it's not yet time for my roomates to be up. It was damned hard to not lmao. Thank god for pillows. Lol
2:17 his voice 😍
This was a good idea on pen and paper, but in execution… even BETTER!
Haha! That was great. Loved the joking around but also, when it kicked into metal, then back.. great! Fantastic job y’all!
Breaking the fourth wall in music videos, genius!
I've never before realized how gossopy and hilarious this song is till you did ... that. Fantastic job
His akwardness about the silliness of the song is so damn amusing lmao.😂
Omg that bridge though is to die for.
Honestly, I’m only here bc of the way Lee plays the guitar with all of the different camera angles it’s soooooooo great!
This is the best sk8ter boi cover ever! Thx jonathan lavigne!
At the end I just lost it, your reaction through this whole song is just the best XD
Thats so nice to see you all having so much fun :3
This song was my childhood, and Jonathan has made it my adulthood. Keep up the great work man, you're my favorite youtuber.
That ending is pure gold! XD
Through every line he sings you can hear his soul break just a little bit
Love when the song goes heavy metal and just mental 😂fucking love this
Ok but that breakdown was sick! The ending was absolutely beautiful, pure art 👌
03:32 "RUclips is misserable and will never be fixed" this is what i love with your stuff jonathan

who is this cute boy on the guitar? can I say SEE U L8R BOY?!
That's Lee Albrecht, he's been on a few of Jonathan's videos, but he usually hides, I always thought he didn't like to be on camera :/
Lol wtf
"I always thought he didn't like to be on camera :/"
He is on camera on his own channel though. He made some great instrumental songs there by the way.
Jon lives in San Diego and I live in Michigan so most of the covers I produce for him / appear in his videos are shot separately ( which may be why it seems like I don't appear with him in person very often).

The ending had me 😂😂
*Violent flashbacks of the 90's, my sister jamming out with this song on her CD player and Cinimon French Toast Crunch *
This song isn't 90s though >.>
Andrew DeGroot true. It was 2002
DarthVega3 hate to burst your bubble but I believe the album came out in 2002 or 2003
I really hope Avril has seen this, especially the second half
the harder part around 2:00, thats what he should have done for the whole song honestly but still a banger none the less.
I can't turn off the video
It's too good
Woooow... That was CRAZYYYY!!! I like the original, but, honestly, you blew my mind away x)
Please, please, please, DO keep the hard work, and that awesome creativity and spirit of yours!!
Love from Galicia, Spain ;)
2:00 Great transition into a new bridge/style
3:30 L O L
3:35 "whos this guy laughing on the train?!?!?!
I love how John is pointing at the camera and squeezes his fists in the metal part. I am mimicking all those moves every time I get to that part😂
This is the hardest I’ve laughed in ages 😂
LMAO that ending though
"Dude are you serious?" xD
Love it! That genre mashup worked so well haha :) I liked the humour element to it (pls do more like it)... Also shoutout to Lee cause \m/
you should watch love is an open door and kiss the girl, they're just as funny!!
I've been watching Jon for years ^_^ I agree, they're definitely funny
+Ruby Price (Ruubez) his funny ones are my favorites!!!
Thanks my dude!
Lee Albrecht Studios Lee, I don't know who's idea this was, but the execution had me laughing louder than I have ever laughed before. Especially your very meme-able part at the end! Genius
This is the moment when Jonathan Young has a existential crisis lol
Hands down my favorite video Jonathan has done! This is the BEST!!!! Avril Lavigne is one of my very favorite artists and I love this cover!
Work was miserable today. This was the levity I needed.
We've lost Jonathan. He's turned to the dark side and is never coming back.
ThePhenomenalEX He belongs to us...he's seen the greatness of our memes...the DNA of the soul...Jack
He wanted to live out his dream of being a successful Skater boy.
Thank you, my stomach hasn't hurt like this in awhile from laughter... The cover was great!
Oh my god the ending is fucking amazing! XD. What the hell am I saying? I laughed almost the entire video! Great job, guys!
I wish the video wasn't over... I was ready for it!
Gotta say, I absolutely love the growl in this. Fantastic voice, fantastic cover (ending is hilarious)
10 years ago this was my favourite song, my inner 14-years-old girl is fangirling so hard :"D
Jonathan, are you going through a phase? What's with the 2006 call backs? First Diary of Jane, now Sk8er Boi? Loving it!
Edit after watching: This might be my favourite cover you've ever done
SheNoob He can stay in that phase as long as he wants if it means we get more Breaking Benjamin covers!
This was so good. I love the end it was the best thing of this video. Also Lee? Your guitar solos ROCKED!!
When your song turns into a comedy routine XD Amazing as always Jon
Two years later and I still crack up every time I watch it
I remember this was one of my favorites songs in the past and I even went two times to Avril's concerts! 😂
"He-hey. :))))) Hey Jon. O_O Ready? :DDDD" That freaking face at the end, hahaha!
That breakdown was DIRTY though!
It was good to till the end ....then it just got awesome!
I loved that! Not only great but funny af at the end you guys rock!
1:57 = Life turning up the pain.
1:59 = Life dunking on me even harder.
2:01 = Me.
LOL XD the lyrics at the end are fantastic.
Works great as a heavier version.
I could never relate to this song until I heard the ending of the cover. Why have you forsaken me.
Totally loved this cover you did! XD I nearly died of laughter when you went metal and began to change the lyrics! It looks like you had so much fun doing this X3
I used to sing this song at a bar here in Alaska. Love this version!! Avril needs to see this!
