Honestly “Pop goes Punk” should just have this guy do the whole next album.
YES
I support this
100%💪
AGREED!🤘🤘🤘
100%
I walked into this rick-rolling willingly.
This blink roll
Same.
It’s pretty rick-diculous how he can blink out.
No regrets.
Same lol
Rickicide
This song has always been a banger and I hate that we have to pretend that it's not
I don't think people pretend that...
Everyone as pretty much accepted it's a banger.....
yo same. getting Rick rolled was always a little disappointing but not too bad because I get to hear this banger
@@kingleonitus12 Right at first it was an eye roll then you just get to enjoy the music lol.
Its more just that it became an overplayed meme for a while there
So... is this technically being Rickrolled? Or more like Blinkrolled?
That what I was gonna say
I like Blinkrolled (since it combines the two)
@@kajitheninja - BlinkMelRolled
I didn’t see that coming!
your being Delonged
We all knew the half time back to double time was coming in the end of the song. And you know what it still tasted so sweet.
Especially that tasty cut.
He could have just straight rickrolled everyone, but he didn't. He did that for us, guys.
He gets us.
Has any member of Blink actually acknowledged Alex’s brilliant work?
Not that I have seen.
I mean. His recordings are cleaner than theirs
@@davidaylott7113 oof!
They need to! Him AND Odi Acoustic!
@@Koty244 Odi is the shit but this guy does the real punk not acoustic
I would love to see some "If 90s Blink wrote a 20s Blink song".
If that ain't some mindbending shit right there lol
Ooo that’s a damn good idea
Wait….are you talking 1920s or 2020s???
@@9alerix 2020s. For example if the songs on Nine were played as if they were on Cheshire Cat.
He did do a cover of Bored to Death with Tom style vocals, I actually got a bit emotional listening to it.
I'm waiting for the "if blink wrote" album
Yes!
He has a bunch of stuff on Amazon Music
facts!!
I'm a simple man. I see a new video by Alex Melton with "Blink" in the title, I like it immediately and proceed to listen to it nonstop for weeks on end like someone's paying me to do it.
Glad I am not the only one
He even sings the way they would and pronounces every word in the Blink way.
You always just nail the genre. Sounds like every band from the early 2000s but also sounds uniquely yours. Great stuff!
I agree. It's the first time I feel he missed the mark with the band. So good as usual though.
@@Fuzigish8 this sounds more like Good Charlotte trying to be Blink
@@tastefulsubstance Absolutely. Definitely sounds way more Good Charlotte than Blink.
I was expecting an April Fool's joke, but instead received an awesome cover! Well done!!
It technically is an April Fool's joke as well, since he rickrolled all his subscribers while making an absolute banger of a cover
This is just an excuse to Rick Roll us in a different way.
Well it's 1st April :)
A blink roll
@@Draphcone you time traveler you...
The Tom impression is what always does it for me in your blink covers
All You Wanted - Michelle Branch in the style of Blink would be lit
If you wawnt teeuuoooo, I can save yeeeuuuoooo
@@hudsonja I could take yoooo, awaaeeee from haaaare
God yes.
All yall wanted*
@@brownpunk1794 shoot, now we need a country/y'allternative version too
How is it that every cover this guy does is a straight banger?!?!?
This did not let me down. Thank you for never giving up. Another banger!
Please never stop making these
1:48 blink’s bridges are often on another level. You really sold that here, it gave me shivers
Alex's next album: Pop Punk Goes Trolling
When I find myself in times of trouble, Alex Melton comes to me. Making some sweet covers, happy me.
Yuuuuuup
This dude is fucking magical with every single thing he does. Thanks for everything Alex.
Absolutely agree. sensational stuff. thank you Alex.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched one of your “If Blink-182 Wrote-“ videos and thought that it wasn’t spot on. Kinda makes me want to hear you do something like I Got You, Babe by Sonny and Cher or anything along those lines. Songs that you really wouldn’t imagine could work. I have a feeling that you’d not only do it spot on, but you’d make it better as per usual! You’re insanely talented in all you do. Thanks for sharing this one. Being the near to ancient 37 year old that I am, it’s always a blast feeling so much nostalgia coming from your channel in such an inventive way.
The Mark impression is improving
Man, when are you and Ska Tune Network going to collab on something? I bet you guys could make some wonderful things together.
Feels like this would be No Doubt's "Bathwater" for a more mainstream 90s/ska crossover?
I'd kill for that Collab tbh
That would just make my day lol
It’d have to sound like Less Than Jake
that's a Collab I can definitely get behind!
That halftime though! 🔥
I know you don't want to live on just the Blink stuff, but your Blink stuff is just so consistently amazing, Alex.
Also, thanks for bringing back the beanie for the Tom shots, completes the feeling. Still holding out for the full switch to the spaceman collared jacket things as well.
I have to say that I really liked that brief cut at 2:32. Great work on this one!
You always pick songs I never would have thought of or even remembered and then I hear it and go “you picked the perfect song.” you sir are a genius.
@alexmelton we need more "If Blink - 182" videos!! Everything is 10/10

You blink rolled us 👁👄👁🙂
How about if Blink wrote iris by the goo goo dolls. Mark on the verses, Tom on the chorus 🤔
I was in the middle of asking what vst you use for your drums then I saw this. Awesome man! Thanks
Dude get this on the radio or pandora. It's awesome
Please spotify
The accent really sells it. Awesome arranging job!
I think it is officially time for Hoppus & Co. to bring you into the studio as a songwriting partner.
@Patrick Boberg,
A better replacement for Tom than Skiba.
This guy will fill Tom's shoes perfectly
@@davidolyott5503 I love Matt Skiba too much to bash on him
@@aaronjames7266 he certainly is not Tom but I'm not sure anyone would match him. Maybe the singer from Fenix TX
Skiba fits Blink well
@@PatrickBoberg Fenix TX? Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a long, long time, a long time.
That worked far better than I thought it would. It's really excellent.
As a middle school teacher, I can't wait to rick-roll my students with this.
Will they get it?
@@tuxmonkey0 probably not
@@ateosedm5690 @Mike C as another middle school teacher, they are basically the ones giving Rick rolling life support at this point
This is my last day of school plan!
Your Tom impressions are great. You get the inflections perfect!
The overall technical execution is just beautiful. Guitar work: ace, drums: ace. I don't know what to add to this, you are just great!
I love the Tom Delonge-esque flourishes you put at the end of a few lines 👌🏼
My man - Blink couldn’t do it this well. That time change breakdown chorus at the end is perfect. And the emo riffs…Bravo!
Beat Rick-roll of all time.
Kinda surprised you didn't release this tomorrow on April Fools day :-P
One step ahead… he gave us this blessing so that we all may share it with others tomorrow
And I will
Oh I will
maybe just tomorrow he should change the video title and thumbnail to something like "actually got to perform with Blink-182" to set up the Blink-roll
just tomorrow he should change the video title and thumbnail to something like "actually got to perform with Blink-182" to set up the Blink-roll
Awesome cover blink style for sure
Another winner in the books! I'd love to see you do more covers using the style of other bands too, like you did with your "I think I'm OKAY" video. I'm partial to The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, and/or New Found Glory and I know you'd kill it like you always do 🔥. Hope this is something you'd consider! Keep up the great work!
I love that his Blink impersonations still include Tom
Yes!!!! That was awesome. Another song added to my playlist. It would be cool to have another Yallternative Radio Power Hour with all the "If Blink-182 wrote".
This is my favorite of the blink style covers so far
The lead lick in the second chorus thoughhh. And then the half-time third. Ugh. Good stuff.
Never clicked so fast !!!
The way to pull off Blink’s style blows my mind.
good lead into April Fool's day; maybe just tomorrow change the video title and thumbnail to something like "actually got to perform with Blink-182" to set up the Blink-roll
The last "Say goodbyeeee" was FIRE!
Honestly at this point in history I would rather be in an Alex Melton comment section than anywhere else.
Just binged your blink list. What a trip.
Never clicked so fast. This is incredible.
Dearest lord. When the half time hits 😩🤯
This was amazing. You are a gift to us who love music as a whole!
Just realized that I Rick Rolled myself here and I love it.
This slaps harder than Will Smith.
lol
Ahhhh.... nice ha
I have to day, I've seen alot of your if blink covers, and I love this alternate reality band cover thing. please keep it up
Never thought I’d say but this is one of the only times I feel blessed to get Rick rolled
This is your best one to date. A legit rerelease.
O sea, este carnal es un CRACK! Su musica no puede estar mas buena!! 💪😎
Everyone raves about your Tom impression but honestly your Mark Hoppus is flawless
These Rick Rolls have really gotten sophisticated since the late 2000s. You've grown a lot, internet. We all have lol.
I haven’t stopped listening to this FOR 6 HOURS ON REPEAT.
Def more new found glory, blink would key change and drop beat more. NFG is just straight pop beat and singing.
Yeah definitely doesn't feel like Blink. I'm not quite getting the NFG vibe either though. Probably could be modified to be more NFG easier than blink though.
Still an awesome pop punk rendition though.
I get MxPx vibes. That guitar tone is definitely not Blink
Wow, that was actually really REALLY surprisingly damn awesomely good!
This might be my fav cover of all time. I can’t stop listening.
This was recommended by Not the bee of all pages, good cover!
Blink didn’t really use the halftime outro as often as that could have, but we all wanted it. Love how you include it 👏🏼
One of the few channels I usually hit the like button prior to pressing play.
I love this formula and understand the game where putting Blink as the flavor is what you need to do but we both know this is "Say It Like You Mean It"-core. TSL is my fav too
So good. Music sounds like if Rufio wrote 'Never Gonna Give You Up'
Just in time for April Fool's Day. Brilliant!
ive been rick rolling myself way too much today. And I absolutely loving it
All of your Blink videos are spot on dude. I always get a kick out of the "flat" Hoppus impression and the almost "cursive" DeLonge vox.
Not the rickroll I wanted, but the rickroll I needed.
Living for the melody change on "Never gonna say goodbye!" Brings me right back to my teenage years 😂
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS! Thanks you for making my day.
You are a one man pop punk machine my dude, mad props.
Alex, you’re so dang talented man. Love it
This is kick ass. Excellent work brother!
duuude, those subtle voice changes when you switch from bass to guitar...you really know your shit. alao, awesome cover overall
Your Mark Hoppus vocals are on point!
Nailed how Tom adds extra vowels 😂 "layeeeet you dowuuun, sayeee goodbuhyee" hahaha
Wasn’t sure about this one but yes my guy, you’ve done it again
This is unironically a good cover. I love it.
always game for an 'if blink wrote' + 'half time drums' two for one deal. scrumptious.
Nice, sounds kinda self titled era. Well done as usual.
Now this is the definition of one man band, holay shit I'm in love with this. GG dude someone needs to sign you!
Excellent job. The bridge and outro hit me in my teenage years.
OMG THE BRIDGE IS INCREDIBLE! ❤
These covers always put such a big, dumb smile on my face. Thank you! You are the master of capturing the Delongeian/Hoppusetic/Barkerrific essence.
Im gonna say it again - this is MORE BLINK, thank nowadays Blink 182. Thank you Alex for being awesome!
The way you mimic the Tom and Mark parts is incredible!!!
bro, you crack me up. your voice is spot on. I love how you take a song and actually make it your own thing while still being another band imitating another band. it's actually incredibly well done.
OMG this is what I’ve been missing my whole life
That Tom twang gets me every time.
I didn't know I needed this banger in my life. Thank you sir
