Never had so much fun watching a guy play with himself.
😂
This just might be the most brilliant witty youtube reply I’ve ever seen.
PHRASING
Nice.
😂😂😂
This is the best gift I've ever received for someone else's birthday
exactly!👌🏼😂
FOR REAL!!!
Hands down!!! Amazing dude!!!
Well done! Best comment award goes to you 🏆
This is what it feels like to be a hobbit
This is crazy good dude.... super impressed how you put this together! Happy (late) bday!!
Can we have a Dave Days and Alex Melton collab?!?!!
"Happy Birthday, Happy Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday To Me!!"
that moment senpai notices you! Happy Belated Birthday Alex! :) Dave Days you rule dude!
Every punk band should take Alex on tour, just in case!

I appreciated this!
I’m a 31yr old man... and I Fangirled hard at 17:55
@@BroncoJSmith you're not the only one! The Starting Line was my gateway band into the Pop Punk Genre.
I can't get over how he is the entire band by himself. he's EVEN his own backup singer😂. Just simply amazing hope this blows up and the talent gets major recognition!
@@BroncoJSmith I’m 36 and did the same. My girlfriend had to listen to me sing the whole thing loudly.
That original song was really good. I actually objectively enjoyed it, not just out of support for you. :)
“Hey Siri, re-define one man band to Alex Melton”
hey Siri, search google for "best Alex Meltons"
THIS! This is exactly what pop punk punk kids “need” as we’re entering or have been in our thirties! Excellent choice of songs!
THIS! 💚
Pop punk kids are also in their forties, Ryan. :)
Turning 30 in December 2021. My name is Shane McCaskill and I approve this message.
is it weird to find this nostalgic at 25?
Dude so true! On my way to 40 🥲
17:55 Excellent. To this day, I still consider "Say it like you mean it" one of, if not THE best pop punk album from start to finish. That and Commit this to memory.
Happy fcking birthday bro. All of us still stuck in the 90's-early 2000's are here rocking with you till the end!! \m/
'91 gang!
Damn right ✊
See I never got why virtual concerts only cropped up now. This was excellent.
Because unfortunately it hasn’t been monetized on a large scale/model. Which is fucking unfortunate.
And can't really be done live because of latency. It would have to be pre-recorded and put together and then released.
@@randylemaster I'd risk the latency. I've seen streamers perform before and it works fine.
Sorry. I guess what I meant is each member performing from a different location.
@@randylemaster That could be overcome tho, no? Like have them still in the same area, feeding into the same system? You could still do virtual then and just push out the combined feed.
Fuuuuckin ay it's midnight but now I'm too pumped to sleep. You're the hero pop punk needs
The nostalgia just kept smacking me in the face over and over again. Happy Bday, bro! Cheers!
Hearing the MakeDamnSure cover come on made me so happy
Never thought I'd hear anyone doing a Starting Line cover in 2020. Nice job, man!
ikr, People can say whatever but we live in a wonderful time for music, movies, tv shows and pop culture.
Epically Anime and music. We have been living in a pop punk resurgance for years and it doesn't seem like it's stopping.
We have people like Post Malone, MGK, Juice world (R I.P.) and a bunch more giving pop punk music love and letting it openly influence them. there's also so much more amazing things thatve been going on with music too much to keep going on about, but I'm sure you get the point lol.
Anime has become socially acceptable and in some cases even COOL to watch anime. I've had friends get beat up because they watched anime and I've been ostracized from circles of friends because I got cought watching some normie ass anime like bleach and it was like I was fucking banished or thrown into exile and now people RAP ABOUT ANIME!
Ontop of no longer being an outcast for liking anime, everything we ever hoped for is happening. Attack on titan is here and is going INSANE, BLEACH IS FINALLY RETURNING, Enen no shoubotai (fire force), Dr stone, Vinland Saga, Jujutsu Kaisen is an AMAZING Shoenen anime. Everyone says every year "this anime is going to get just as big as naruto, one piece and bleach" and while I won't say I absolutely think that's the case, but it definately has a shot at being that popular. Last but not least, we have the most Nostalgic anime of 2020, and which will almost DEFINATELY be the most Nostalgic of 2021 also. It's a sequel to an anime so big so many american (and also Canada and anywhere else that had adult swim but I'm not sure how big it was in the U.K ) kids used to watch it and not even realize it was anime. We now have Yashahime, the sequel to inuyasha. If you know anime you know how huge this especially because there isn't any source material (most anime take the story from japanese novels (called light novels) or manga (japanese comics) so we have no idea what's going to happen next. It's awesome when it comes to quality from everything from story to animation I would give it five stars so fuckin-A
Star wars is 50/50
that last movie really sucked and had fucked with the cannon of star wars as a whole, but in particular (even though it had negative implications on the entire franchise, it affected this one story in particular trilogy the most) it made this whole trilogy and actually most of this Era just complete ASS which sucks because it had so much potential I thought everything was very decent until the "rise of skywalker" destroyed the storu for that time period in space. "Star wars resistance" was the only shitty star wars tv show and it's in that time period.
everything else they've been doing is great. Rogue one, Solo, The mandalorian were all amazing. i really liked the 4 of them.
star trek is AMAZING right now.
Star trek picard was so amazing I don't even have any words besides watch it and bring tissues for tears of joy and sadness from an amazing show.
star trek discovery got progressively better from season one until now. people forget even the next generation had an absolutely AWFUL star to where everyone thought It would be cancelled before season one ended. lol. but it got really food ad fixed a lot of the bullshit it also made fans ask for a show from a captain like and Spock because they appeared and took over discovery for a whole season an CBS agreed the show would be perfect and is in production with it now.
The cartoon they released is absolutely shit, but it's not really the main focus of the writers and the show atleast adds some stuff to cannon and even though they don't say it is I think it cool for kids.
All in all we love in a good time for media Don't know how I got to commenting the much about this on a pop punk video.
I do and always will love the starting line
It shook me too really happy that someone still remembers them
Oof the original stay in love thing is a real hard banger ngl. Hope it comes out soon!
It’s on Spotify! Thank you!
@@AlexMelton Oh heck. Big wiin🥳🥳
When he started playing “The Best of Me” by The Starting Line 🤯
It's the spiderman pointing meme in musical form
And its incredible
This dude is a whole damn band by himself. Absolute goals in life to be as talented as you dude!
The original song is so good. The covers are always appreciated but I dig the skill.
That Starting Line album is was great. Glad people still appreciate it. I saw them right after this album came out. Great times.
My dude, from one Alex to another, Happy fuckin Birthday man! And from another 30+ year old, early 30's are still absolutly awesome, don't sweat 35+, it's not that bad. Thanks for some serious nostalgia covers, and my dude, that first OG song, was my highlight of this. Absolutely stellar stuff
Incredible.
The timing - I’d love to know what your backtracking and click sounded like to queue timing. Maybe a video on that in the future? Masterful.
Puts live bands with tens of thousands of production equipment to shame. Cheers and hbd.
Definitely gonna do this
Dude that original song was amazing. It's climbing my list of favorites every time I listen to it.
Still the best gift I've ever received for someone else's birthday
I just found you, and damn, if it didn't bring a tear to my 30 year old eye...🤘🏼
You sir, win *all* the things.
Man, that original was top shelf. Kudos!
Man. Ocean Avenue, it's amazing how a bridge can make a whole song.
Happy birthday, my dude. Keep up the great work.
Yellowcard was all about the bridges in all of their songs 😁
Pay this man.
Amen
I thought we were gonna get some Sugar cult on that first lick... SUGAR CULT PLES
I discovered your channel yesterday and you have been on all afternoon yesterday and all morning today. I'm a music teacher getting through one of my LAST Zoom meetings of the school year and without your energy I don't know if I could do it!!! Strangely, not a fan of country music, but your country covers are my favorite. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yes! This is so awesome, and never apologize for those originals, they're great
I would've never expected to see you here, but it makes me very happy lolll
His original songs are just as awesome as the covers!
Happy Birthday! This took me back to the early 2000 days. Thanks for blessing us on your birthday!
Alex you’re getting us all through 2020 each video you make man. Keep up the great work! And happy birthday! Can’t wait to see your next video.
This is as close as I’ll get to a concert this year! Love it 😎🤙
Still cannot get Hard To Stay In Love out of my head. So good
That was EPIC
Hope you have a great birthday dude!
Still have no idea why this didn't go viral. You've been grinding my guy. You deserve more recognition
One man band in modern times giving a concert 🙌🏻
Why doesn’t he have more subscribers? Dude kills it in every video
I just recently discovered this channel and I think it's gotten 20k subs in that short time.
He has 420k subs.
That's pretty good considering he primarily does Pop-punk/blink-182 stuff.
The subgenre is not as popular as it once was. Even the official RUclips of blink-182 has only a couple Million subs.
I don't know why you're not calling yourself Alex and The Meltones.
I move to make this actually happen
@@AngelQuiroz I second this motion.
Because he's not a Ska band. Yet.
i just realized this is like the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah and thats AWESOME
I'm with you on TSL. If you haven't heard Real Friends...I swear they are the reincarnation. Simply fantastic.
I ❤️ this dude , Punk is never dead and will Never die 👍
This was a fun half hour. You pulled off the small room, live show feel perfectly and I know it was a ton of work to put together. Thank you!
Amen! He's amazing
Dude! You’re so awesome! I love the blink 182 videos that you do! Keep up the awesome work!
Dude, happy birthday and thanks for such a great set! You are amazing 👍👍👍👍
Also, please build yourself a full album of originals and put it on Spotify! That'd be fucking amazing.
I can’t wait until you are able to clone yourself so I can go see Alex and the Meltons in person
Or he could go and see himself. Imagine a stadium full of meltons.
So real talk. He could pre-record the backing parts, throw them on a screen behind him then play the lead live. Similar to how he’s doing this. I’d watch it.
This is unreal! Such a solid job dude. Happy belated!
This is my go to work noise. Thank you. Feels good.
the harmonics during the "happy birthday" song was beautiful
Thanks for giving us a gift for your birthday. This was amazing, man. You're super talented.
Been a fan since the first Taylor Swift cover and it was extremely cool that you dusted it off for this!
Dude, this was excellent! What an incredible set list! Happy belated birthday!
This is a highlight of the whole year. Keep 'em coming man!
This is legit super impressive bud. I have a feeling your channel is about to explode. Keep being awesome.
Mad respect for resisting the nearly certain to have been inevitable urge to have gone with "Alex and the Meltones"
The amount of effort this took and how awesome it sounds is admirable
I come back to this probably once a month because the concept is awesome, the talent is brilliant, and the execution is flawless. I envy the ability to be able to do something like this!
You put stupid amounts of effort and talent into your videos. Much respect, keep it up!
It's nice to finally see a band where the drummer is the most attractive member.
This has become part of my daily work from home playlist. Though I do typically skip the happy birthday part haha. This is just tremendous, man. I love the energy you bring and the creative talent it took to pull this off is top notch.
This entire compilation is amazing. So much effort was put in here. Subscribed!
You guys are awesome!! I'll be listening to this many times
Lead singer of Rufio, Kenny from Starting Line and this dude need to start a band immediately
Man Rufio. Theres an old school name! That brings back memories! Thanks for that one!
@@cognjt08 hell yeah!
Stay in Love could be on the radio.
You played almost every song that has influenced me as an early guitar player growing up. Thanks so much for this! Hope you hit that 100k sub milestone soon!
your so close to 100k bro!!
Patreon?
You check all the boxes, and it has been a real privilege to be in your audience!
Paramore - Looking Up. How can I help it happen? :)
Dude, this took me back a few years. Set list, top notch -- the performance, amazing.
Happy very belated Birthday from this early-30s pop-punk kid. Slowly working through every single one of your videos. Congrats on the well-earned recognition, Still in Love is so f*cking good.
And Best of Me is maybe, even after so long, the song I've listened to and played the most in my life. I literally learned guitar for that album. Oof. We're getting older but we're still young.
Happy Birthday!
Awesome show! Suggestion for the band in the future: you should let that drummer try singing. He looks like he could have a good voice!
happy birthday man, your videos always make me happy!
Happy Birthday Alex! Glad I discovered your channel, seriously a diamond in the rough. It’s nice to see that so many are still loving this style of music, that was the soundtrack of my life. and you’ve got some serious talent. Keep up the good work!
That Taylor Swift cover slapped
I'm almost 27. When I was 14, this video is what I thought I'd be doing with my life.
For fucking real though 🙃 damn. At least someone is living out one of our dreams
My bday was jan15th i turned 31 and i partied to this mix the entire night because it's absolutely perfect plus i miss this era of music bro lol i miss my dickies and atticus t-shirts lol
THANK YOU for bringing back the pop punk! Loved the Starting Line cover. Happy birthday my dude.
The original sounded like if Ben Rector went emo, in the absolute best way possible
Let's Gooooo
You’re such an amazing artist. Dude, I hope to see you accomplish all the goals you set in place in life! You get me so amped with your covers! Keep up all the good work man! I can’t believe I’ve missed this one for the last few months!!
stay in love sounds like a kickass front bottoms song
would be funny if we found out years from now he is actually a quintuplet
It wasn’t a phase mom. It’s a part of me 🤟
This is amazing. Gonna put it on repeat and get through my shift today. Thanks Alex!
Just came back to listen and watch this whole thing. Ridiculous how awesome this is. Stoked for your next series of bops with the Meltons.
MakeDamnSure was wicked good. Sooo freaking high dude, is that like the top of your range?
It's so weird how little I hear about Good Charlotte now considering they were 'the' mainstream staple pop-punk / pop-rock band of the 2000's.
I agree. Although it’s kind of that way with a lot of the pop punk bands from that era. Blink probably the only exception but even then, their new stuff isn’t on mainstream radio as far as I know. Also, MTV died which helped Blink, Sum41, Good Charlotte, Green Day etc.
Dude, this absolutely made my day! I'm missing concerts so much and this really felt like one. Every member in your band is crazy talented.
The Starting Line material is so good; meaningful. Keep at it, keep at it

Wow, so edgy dude....
@@MD-pz3cn if I was any edgier I’d be a square. Look out, I have a leather jacket and strong opinions!
Love the original man, nice job! Happy Bday! Thanks for doing this, awesome nostalgia.
The entire time I was thinking you sounded like The Starting Line, then you did a cover! Love it!
I consistently am so impressed by the work you put out. Sad I missed this day-of, but happy birthday, dude. You deserve all the recognition you're getting and so much more.
I can't even begin to phantom the amount of work to put this together, this is amazing.
3rd weekend watching this.. just totally awesome!! Posted this on my FB and shared with my work friends.. EPIC!
Love the pseudo concert feel of this! So great!
