Today we go full method for the drum track - the shirt is coming off, and I really felt the Barker spirit on this one. No pathetic cloth weighing you down, just pure sport mode BABY! But for real, I probably won't be doing this again until I'm super ripped with a great tan.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
I haven't even begun to peak.
What is he doing for his doubles sheesh.
I’m a 5 star man!
Beat me to it. Well played.
I tried in vain in HS to start my own blink cover band. Sounds lame but I was literally that kid posting up "bass,drummer,singer needed for band."( I was on the guitar of course)The music teacher of the school heard of my plight (a guitarist in need of a band) and allowed me to transfer to his Ensemble class. There's alot more to that story but I'll leave it at that,for now.. Point is this guy can pull off what I spent 4 yrs trying to do, in a single video. Dammit! 😂
Left the shirt on a hanger and made a banger! Awesome work!
now he just needs to get 1000 tattoos!
Way to rock the dad bod!
"if blink 182 wrote"....instant click
Same.
that's what i'm sayin!
Instant click and instant like
+Playlist update! 😂
I hate the unskippable ads, but Alex is worth the wait.
Yep. That is about as guarantee of a click there is on RUclips for me.
Next up: If Matchbox 20 wrote "What's My Age Again" 😅
Yes!!!!
Whats my age again I'm just a little unwell na na na na lol
@@umitsever1692 🤘😂
I am in.
Please do it!!!🎉
Love that he was so devoted he went bald to match Travis
All he needs is a shit ton of tattoos
@@BrainMeltGaming Nah just get his SO to go nuts with a sharpie before the video.
You had me at "if Bli"
If Blink-182 wrote, "I'm just Ken" for Oscar season.
Oh, I hope he does all the Oscar songs. maybe as medley and then a poll and full version of the winner of the poll!
YES
Slow country banger
This!!!!!!! I'm just Ken is one of my favourite songs from last year!
YES! Please!
I love your commitment to the bit. As always, thanks for another fantastic re-envisioning, a Blinkening if you will.
These covers just don't miss. Perfectly done.
Blink 182 does a pretty good impersonation of this guy. 😂🤣
Came for shirtless Alex & stayed for... yeah I stayed for shirtless Alex too.
Produce, perform, record, edit. Talent at every position.. Top to bottom, start to finish,, you are epic. Keep up the great work!
As a Matchbox 20 and blink 182 fan all I can say is this is awesome!!!!
I love how we peer pressured him into taking off his shirt.
I wish all music was just you making if Blink 182 Wrote.
Imagine my surprise after I completely forgot about commenting that 😂
It may have taken a while and we may have been joking, but we’ve been answered. Thank you
That makes a SICK pop punk cover! Used to love that song growing up in the 90s, early 2000s!
Dude you have gotten SO GOOD at drums! I remember your earlier vidoes that just had programmed drums, and the difference now is incredible. Absolutely killing it
I disagree. I think he's always had very good drum parts. Maybe just preference but Alex has definitely written better drum parts than this years ago.
So much talent in one man 👏
Rock on, bro and thanks for the tunes! 🤘
Shirtless Alex is Top Tier Internet Content. 10/10
hell yeah man:) Rocking the Travis look too, haha:D
Lol should've gone to town with a magic marker
Indistinguishable
Dude's got the hair! Haha. But seriously, every "if blink-182..." version is awesome!! Totally rocks!
"If Blink 182 Wrote _______" is an immediate must watch
My favorite!!!
name (goo goo dolls)
Man I'd pay for a course (or just a doc) on how you record/mix/produce this stuff so relatively quickly. So good.
Same, would love this.
I'm guessing he has a project template built out as a foundation then tweaks things from there per song, but would love to see the workflow / etc
He's made videos before about his recording process start to finish
@@kshepthedrummeryou know, I started to comment the same thing initially and deleted it after searching back for it and only finding the podcast about the drums plugin. I even searched Patreon 😅
Must’ve been too sidetracked by the Travis Barker feature on this video. Will look again. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@cb52959 I just scrolled through his old videos. He's made a few. I saw one for a Taylor Swift cover, one for an Angels and airwaves style, among others
the "Every Time I Look for You" bit at the end was awesome!
What do you mean?
@@benbatt21the little TOYPAJ melody moment at around @4:00
Travis has been awfully quiet since this dropped, just sayin'.
So good! Crushed it again with this one! Is it OK to say it’s better than the original?
You're seriously talented, and these kinds of genre swap or artist tribute covers or whatever they should be called are always a good time. Massive power move going shirtless too, love it.
I see Alex drop a new video, I click 😅
Youve really coined your own sound with these "if blink wrote" vids. Its really awesome to have watched these evolve over the years. Youre killing it man, always a "like" and comment from me 🤙
love a well timed chuguda-buguda fill
More shirtless videos
This rules, this is one of my all time favorite Matchbox 20 songs and you ROCKED it!
First thing, this is some seriously incredible drum work. Usually your drum parts are less technical with more tame energy, so bravo there.
Second thing, coordinating the dragging coda with the tempo reduction across God knows how many audio and video tracks which needed to be recorded separately and synched up in post, had to be an absolutely monumental challenge. Bravissimo there. 🎉
This is absolute perfection, actually forgot for a minute this wasn't a Blink 182 cover.
Now to get tatted from top to taint
cant believe you actually got travis in this vid!
The clickrate with a shirtless Alex in the thumbnail goes🚀
PS: Next time please upgrade with a fake tattoo shirt 😂
Hahahaha amazing!!!! I loved this one. So much swag shirtless on drums!
All the Blink covers are amazing!
Alex Melton is simply too good for us. A blessing and the beacon of happiness we are all looking for.
Would love to have a split screen of you playing all the parts, as a drummer with a similar set I do like to be able to visualize a part!
man that body is Peak man performance, Its glorious
Man I must've heard the original song thousands of times in the late 90's in my moms car on weekend trips. This rips and the outro oozes texture. Absolutely unreal.
I think this is my favorite piece of music I’ve heard in about five years.
Thank you!
I haven't heard one of these remakes that isn't better than the original
Chorus breakdown is A+
The commitment. Drumming shirtless. This guy. 🤩
Never knew i needed to see a wigling drum dad bod ! ❤ Weirdly enough more please !
Cause dad bods are the best, haha
I don’t think I’ve heard anyone make me feel like I’m in my teens again through music. So nostalgic.
Do a breakdown of all the recording process for this song
Alex sounds more like Blink 182 than Blink 182 does now.
Can you just redo this whole Matchbox 20 album in the style of Blink 182?
Not only the best covers, but you also tend to pick all the best songs that I forgot about
Best dad bod in the biz 😆
Drums 15% better without all that restrictive fabric getting in the way. :)
The tempo change really hits at "fly around downtown". This song feels too iconic to work with such major revisions, but it TOTALLY does, what an incredible cover.
Freaking stud. Killing it as always man.
One word… commitment. Big props! We need more “When the worship team is too into ______” videos!!!
Agreed
This is more like "If The Starting Line wrote..."
The definition of beast mode
Love the Teddy Fresh. It'd be cool to see you on the H3 podcast some time.
Make another Angels & Airwaves vid pls
two of my favourite groups! Thanks!
This is a lesson in how the comments should be careful what they wish for. XD
holy. fucking. shit. pure amazingness.
I would love to see him cover the Mighty Mighty Bosstones "impression that I get" i havent seen many covers of that, and Alex turns every song he touches to gold.
How can I feel so nostalgic for a song I’ve never heard before!????
There was a missed opportunity to have all the Meltons not wearing shirts for this performance, in honor of the "What's My Age Again?" video. Or for you youngsters, the "She's Out Of Her Mind" video.
This sets impossible standards for young people wanting to do something in the music scene.
Blink can't actually compose a song like this one. Too melodically and rhythmically articulated. Good job
This version of 'Travis Barker' has a real 'Nevernude' vibe.
This guys the goat 🐐 no cap 🧢.. dam I love your videos !!!!
Shoulda put fake tattoos on 😆. Keep rocking
This is amazing. I love it :)
If you just watch this with the volume muted it looks like a beatdown hardcore band.
😂😂😂
idea- what if Blink covered a Dave Matthews Band song???
@alexmelton
You beautiful beautiful man.
So much talent! Have enjoyed your stuff for years. Thanks for sharing
Alex, I freaking love all your content. Any word when we’ll get more Death Inevitable?
the Travis look is too good.
This musical octopus is outstanding!
FUCKING LEGEND!!! setting unrealistic beauty standards again! :D
next step, only fans
Love Blink, love Matchbox 20's original song, love this version
I need more original AC music. Alex, keep rockin'! You are killing it with your prodigious and immense talent. I am so glad to have discovered you.
Thank you.
I wish they could clone you and have you play live music at every bar I ever could walk into
4:01 needs to be an entire original song. Incredible.
I like this "BLINK 180" version much better!!!!!
Damn man, pretty sure this is better than what Blink could do with it LOL! Awesome!
I hear Reliant K doing Matchbox 20. Still great. Tho tbf, Reliant K was just doing a Christian Blink 182 anyway.
"Yourself or Someone Like You" was the first physical CD I bought when I was kid; absolutely love this song 🤘
Phenomenal album
A masterpiece of an album!
My first album purchase as well! Skipped school to get home early enough to give it a good listen.
I don’t even like this Matchbox Twenty song that much but I freaking love this version
Anything Blinkified is better
Travis probably would have worn a beanie whilst being shirtless. Disappointed. 10/10 Cover though.
Awesome Dude!!!!! You must really consider going into the producing game!! Like Robert “Mutt” Lange etc….❤
Alex, I've got news for you, this is way way better than what Blink could do! Bloody hell man, truly amazing, thank you for doing this!
Go Alex! Representing all us regular guys out here!
i never know exactly what mashup i need to hear until you make one
You should cover Ethel Cain's American Teenager into pop punk 🤘🏻💓
In the kingdom of comfort, where laughter is the key,
Lives a hero of leisure, the dad bod, you see.
With a belly that tells tales of burgers and fries,
He's the master of naps, under sunlit skies.
No six-pack of abs, just a warm, fuzzy core,
A dad bod's embrace is what we all adore.
His T-shirt hugs curves, a testament to joy,
A symbol of fatherhood, no six-pack ploy.
He may not run marathons or lift tons of weight,
But his love for his family is oh, so great.
In the dad bod kingdom, where love handles reign,
Happiness blossoms, free from body disdain.
So here's to the dad bod, a masterpiece in flesh,
A sculpture of love, beyond physical mesh.
In a world obsessed with perfect physique,
The dad bod prevails, leaving critics mystique.
