Dude, considering your label is in Nashville (not sure if you're here yet) you need to grab a Novo guitar, some Stringjoy strings, and maybe a Mythos Pedal or two.
@AlexMelton: What software do you use to create videos? I would love to know your equipment list......Put some affiliate links of something so we can pad your bank account my friend! :)
Also, if anyone else has any ideas for a novice film creator post your ideas! Would love to just create something the fraction of how this looks! #AlexMeltonRULZ
1:28 PLEASE SCREAM MORE!!!!!??? Please do more Hardcore stuff. btw, I can't even call this a cover anymore. The production value far outweighs the original, you've added an analog drummer instead of a machine, and just done so much with the song, and yet the 90s vibe is still in there. Absolutely phenomenal work.
Exact same thoughts here. I love Sugar Ray and the 90s sound but they had a cheesiness I always noted and tolerated. This cover takes that out and it's great.
I loved sugar ray when I was a kid, the first time my friends heard the music on my little rca mp3 player they looked at me funny and were like "you listen to this kind of music but you don't smoke weed?" LOL memories.
I think this is my favorite cover you have ever made. Honestly I love the original but your version is so much better. You are incredibly talented man.
I was soooooper skeptical walking in. First words were “you have my attention” This is scary good. Holy shit. The tone, the timing, the phrasing, THE BACK GROUND VOCALS!!! Just wow.
I have to comment on this one. The original song was in heavy rotation in eighth grade for me, then you take it to my early 20s. Your channel gives me the best kind of dopamine hit and its amazing. You are a true talent
As a Sugar Ray fan and an appreciator of this kind of pop punk - this slaps! And this is even one of my least favourite SR songs but you gave it new life 🥰
Album worthy generational teen movie anthem cover of put it up there with the awesome vibe o always got from lots take on pictures of you. Would listen to a whole album of this vibe lol
I love when you show some of the work that goes into it. As consumers, we often just listen and appreciate the final result. As someone with music background, I love the behind the scenes!
Taking us behind the curtain Mr. Wizard! ❤ Any production of art is like the proverbial iceberg, you only see/hear the small chunk which is the final work, not the art and/or skill in the making of it.
14:59 on cassette while my mom drove me around my hometown was such a critical part of my childhood. You’ve done this song justice and then some. Love this interpretation. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty incredible job but as a fan of both pop punk and Sugar Ray I would say the OG s still the best with it's white guy island and cholo vibes. Mark McGrath may not be the most technically skilled singer but his voice oozes with charisma. Obviously though, each to their own
Definitely appreciate the production stuff Alex... really have enjoyed watching you mixes just keep getting better over the years... Would love to hear you "Blinkify" some early Police.....
Every Morning How Bizarre Iris I Just Want to Fly Tubthumping Two Princes Bitter Sweet Symphony The Way I'm Blue Torn Semi-charmed Life Truly Madly Deeply Songs I never want to hear again... Unless you cover them 😂
Fantastic cover and excellent breakdown of the creative process at the end. Always fun to listen to all of the small tiny details you've put into these covers that aren't too apparent during the first listen through.
Love to see the creative process. You are mighty talented, Sir! Always super impressed with your interpretation of absolute bangers. Have to say, you always make them better!
Dude, I am extremely impressed with every single thing you put out. You are incredibly talented! Keep up the amazing work bro. From musician to musician, it’s like an eargasm listening to your music!
Can I just say I LOVE the fact that you zoomed in on your mistakes and owned up to them, then kept them in the video that you then shared with the world. Takes notes people, this is a sign of an extraordinary, grounded human who knows his efforts will shine through. Didn't know I could love Alex more than I already did, but here we are!
Mad respect for another talented multi-instrumentalist and self-producer. Really good quality stuff. Digging it!! Now the real question is.... how can we clone you so you can take this talent on the road?
I don't know if you take suggestions from comments... But listening to some of your covers has made me question if Linkin Park's "Numb" could make a good country jam xD
Dope! You should make another vid/playlist with the pro tools and another for just the vids with links to the corresponding vid. I mean, if youre not trying to hit the 10min yt video mark..
hey man, i think what your doing is seriously great - don't be too hard on your self, your not a big label producer with executives breathing down your neck, your too hard on yourself is what I'm trying to saying. its that spotlight affect. your killing it out here and vast majority can learn a lot from ya. keep sharing - humility is great, just hope you aren't beating yourself up or too self conscious cuz this is good shit.
Any chance we could get a version of this without the dev diary after the song? I would love to have this on my playlist on youtube music. The original version of the song was my jam as a kid and I love this cover.
I love it when you show the project! It definitely inspires us musicians when things are demystified, yet sound so great! I have the same Td-27, So it is cool to see you keep the midi info inthere and that it seems to work with it all tracked out in the vst.

Great job brother you did such a cool arrangement. Much respect from Australia.
That moment you realise you can’t see these guys perform live.. ever 🥲
he technically could. he just needs others to play the other instruments
Sugar ray just toured last year
@@DaveVoyles(these guys meaning the Alex Meltons. They can’t all perform live because it’s all the one person)
The production on this is insane. The sheer sound scape is genuinely mind blowing. So damn good. 👏
Those drums drive the song. Nicely done
1:28 PLEASE SCREAM MORE!!!!!??? Please do more Hardcore stuff. btw, I can't even call this a cover anymore. The production value far outweighs the original, you've added an analog drummer instead of a machine, and just done so much with the song, and yet the 90s vibe is still in there. Absolutely phenomenal work.
Opens up a ton more genres and songs to cover if he’s got that in his repertoire. It sounded greaaat honestly.
I second this!
This. I had the same reaction
Exact same thoughts here. I love Sugar Ray and the 90s sound but they had a cheesiness I always noted and tolerated. This cover takes that out and it's great.
Johnny cash/trent reznor effect??
Baby wake up, Alex dropped a new song
It's a old song a new cover lol
@@umitsever1692🤓
Those who are a fans of Sugar Ray will know how cool this cover is. Hallelujah Alex❤
Loving the rebirth for some of my beloved songs growing up !
I loved sugar ray when I was a kid, the first time my friends heard the music on my little rca mp3 player they looked at me funny and were like "you listen to this kind of music but you don't smoke weed?" LOL memories.
Great example to show someone asking what "shoegaze" is. They'll know exactly what the sound is.
You changed the whole feel and vibe of the song, and yet you can still feel the original in there. Kick ass as always!
You need to rename your channel to "Alex Melton's Better Than the Original"
Alex _might_ be the most talented musician on youtube
Sometimes it feels like I`m the only person I know that likes Sugar Ray, someone making a cover from them sure is nice
I think this is my favorite cover you have ever made. Honestly I love the original but your version is so much better. You are incredibly talented man.
I was soooooper skeptical walking in. First words were “you have my attention”
This is scary good. Holy shit. The tone, the timing, the phrasing, THE BACK GROUND VOCALS!!! Just wow.
"you had my attention, but now you have my interest'
I have to comment on this one. The original song was in heavy rotation in eighth grade for me, then you take it to my early 20s. Your channel gives me the best kind of dopamine hit and its amazing. You are a true talent
The quality of the musical part is evident, but it must be praised the amount of work you put into your video editing. Thank you, Alex.

Pop punk shoegaze sugar Ray cover ?!??! Never clicked so fast
Another banger for the books.
Thanks for the production stuff
Taking us behind the curtain Mr. Wizard! ❤ Any production of art is like the proverbial iceberg, you only see/hear the small chunk which is the final work, not the art and/or skill in the making of it.
Felt some DEFTONES vibes on this one ;) maybe we could use some deftony stuff???
Love this cover!!!
That guitar hook is magic!
Love 90’s music covers 😎
Alex 'NeverFailed' Melton
The FX in the video and the slo-mo lends itself to the shoegaze style so well. Super nicely done.
I've been waiting for a judiciously placed scream 👌 More please :)
14:59 on cassette while my mom drove me around my hometown was such a critical part of my childhood. You’ve done this song justice and then some. Love this interpretation. Thanks for sharing!
You just took one of my favorite songs and made it better 💜🧡💚
How are you not covering any The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Songs?
These covers are literally better than the originals. I am eating your music up bro.
Pretty incredible job but as a fan of both pop punk and Sugar Ray I would say the OG s still the best with it's white guy island and cholo vibes. Mark McGrath may not be the most technically skilled singer but his voice oozes with charisma. Obviously though, each to their own
Definitely appreciate the production stuff Alex... really have enjoyed watching you mixes just keep getting better over the years...
Would love to hear you "Blinkify" some early Police.....
is it pronounced shoe-gaze or shugazi?
Shoe-gaze
Love it but my brain cant handle the slower tempo
Thank you for taking us through the production - adds a new layer of appreciation!

Love to see the creative process. You are mighty talented, Sir! Always super impressed with your interpretation of absolute bangers. Have to say, you always make them better!
I can't find a bad comment on your creations. All the process you did, motivate me to hustle in this horrible life. What a banger, Alex, always!
You kill it every time !!! ❤ brb putting this on repeat for the next 10 hours
The scream tho omfg
I love it
This could have been a whole music video in 2002
I don’t comment much, but absolutely amazing that you hit “shoegaze” perfectly. Pure talent brother.
You made this song one I want to listen to as opposed to the original.
Welcome back.
Hey can you make a video on how you film the music video please. Thanks love your work
Loved this! And the behind the scenes portion is very cool, keep it up 👏🏼👏🏼
Meow guitar 😂
Literally listened to this last night!!! So wild! Yes more shoegaze!!!!
Was waiting for the new music video. Keep up the good work. You’ve inspired me. 🤘
Great videography! Loved a well-time slow-mo.
Dude, I am extremely impressed with every single thing you put out. You are incredibly talented! Keep up the amazing work bro. From musician to musician, it’s like an eargasm listening to your music!
Can you do a video showing us the contents of your Kontakt library please?
Dude… this take couldn’t have been put together any better, especially that move into the 2nd verse.
Now do 311 Amber!
yes yes yes YES YES YESSSSS
Loving it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I actually don't like the original but you made this song so much better.
Sugar Ray is a guilty pleasure of mine. Might like this more than the original.
CAN YOU PLEASE PLESE PLEASE DO: If "End of beginning - Djo" was a shoegaze/emo anthem!!!
Dude… everytime I watch your videos I get so motivated to start writing music. Great job… as always!
This is easily my favorite song you've put out, ever. Holy crap this is amazing. Please never stop being who you are.
Hi Alex, there is a famous song in Brazil, it's call "Evidências" (Evidence in english). Please, create a different version....
This is 100% my latest hyperfix song. 100% need more sugar ray covers
The jump from Owl City to blink-182 gave me chills
Please make a tutorial about how to mix and master, I love your music :)
Most covers are either as good as the original or not as good, only Alex continues to make covers that far exceed already great songs!
Can I just say I LOVE the fact that you zoomed in on your mistakes and owned up to them, then kept them in the video that you then shared with the world. Takes notes people, this is a sign of an extraordinary, grounded human who knows his efforts will shine through. Didn't know I could love Alex more than I already did, but here we are!

"Don't get freaked out about what's on the screen, we're not going super nerdy here."
Um PLEASE go super nerdy
Dope! You should make another vid/playlist with the pro tools and another for just the vids with links to the corresponding vid. I mean, if youre not trying to hit the 10min yt video mark..
Man what I wouldn't give to have some homies to jam pop punk with again =,) it's nice to day dream while watching alex melton vids..
Niice! Great stuff
How is this under 100k views. Too good to not be more. I love what you’re doing Alex!!!
hey man, i think what your doing is seriously great - don't be too hard on your self, your not a big label producer with executives breathing down your neck, your too hard on yourself is what I'm trying to saying. its that spotlight affect. your killing it out here and vast majority can learn a lot from ya. keep sharing - humility is great, just hope you aren't beating yourself up or too self conscious cuz this is good shit.
I'd love to hear "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams as a super fast punk song.
More sugar ray covers!!!
Any chance we could get a version of this without the dev diary after the song? I would love to have this on my playlist on youtube music. The original version of the song was my jam as a kid and I love this cover.
can you make a punk cover of "REWRITE THE STARS" thanks
Hey! Can you do a "blink 182" hey there delilah version? I feel like this song really fits in a rock/punk riff
Weird request, could you do "Lunch Lady" by This Saturday in 3/4 speed drums?
Giving MAE vibes for sure!! 💥 Fantastic!
Seeing the Guitar Solo tracks are just labelled Audio 1 and 4 just make the session more relatable. Thanks for taking us through it!
14:59 was the first album I purchased. Soiled choice.
Dude, Objects in the Mirror - Mac Miller I think would be a nice touch to add to your pop punk style.
Dam Alex a banger likenalwaya! Also Why does this work so well....
more Sugar Ray PLEASE
Love this song, and even better, I love your rendition of it.. Stay awesome!!
Can you please do something in the style of Touche Amore or La Dispute? Need to hear you scream more!
I’m ready for the blink 182 does Beartooth
Always waiting for your punk covers.
Can we get more 1:28 energy now that its in your tool belt? Also I normally gravitate towards guitar but right after that the bass guitar is perfect.
Exactly how I remember it the first time I heard it!
Edit: is my man wearing a starting line hoodie!?
I love it when you show the project! It definitely inspires us musicians when things are demystified, yet sound so great! I have the same Td-27, So it is cool to see you keep the midi info inthere and that it seems to work with it all tracked out in the vst.
