God, please let this be a new running series of heavy versions of emo and pop punk and country songs.

"Hello, Police, I'd like to report a crime, cuz Alex is killing it EVERY WEEK". Awesome as always, dude

This might be one of my favourites from you, more fall out boy breakdowns please!!

The pop punk lovers that also really love the heavy (more heavy) stuff have entered the chat... We need more!!!

If a local band played this clearly live I would be shocked.

Just when i thought I couldn't be any more impressed by Alex, he drops this. Not only is he stepping into a slightly different genre, he's establishing a narrative arc for a fictional band. Amazing!

Please do more heavy stuff, this is great.

Digging the longer skit setups, showing off those comedy chops! Also another banger song. If you don’t name an album “Live at the Cootie Hut” I would be very sad.

That is definitely the drumming of a local heavy band during the chorus 🤣

Opening scene is completely unbelievable. You had a whole conversation and the drummer didn't practice drum fills in the middle of it.

This is so cool. It’s like a mix between ADTR, BMTH, ABR, Periphery, WCAR, Underoath, Architects, TDWP, FFAK, Counterparts, and ETID. Super original!

This is the version if Dance Dance no one asked for, not knowing it is the version they really needed! FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

That was way too tight with zero screams to be a local heavy band. It was too tasteful

Alex evolving into making actual SKITS in addition to the bangers he makes. Love it.

I've gotten so used to Alex being a god at every aspect of music he picks up, I fully just expected for him to drop a screamo vocal part in the middle of the verse. A little sad that we didn't reach that level, but a little reassured that this incredible musician is in some form just a human like the rest of us. (Hope this didn't come off as dismissive, absolutely loved this vid and all of your content! The Melton Cinematic Universe is my new favorite!)

I need a full set of this.

"Alex death inevitable" haha, Loving the increasing comedy in these videos lately, but the music is just brilliant as always. A nice wee change up to the heavy stuff but has the alex melton vibe as well, love it

Sometimes I have to remind myself that Alex is one person and not multiple clones. Most creative content out there

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn this goes hard. Fall Heavy Boy is the cover band I didn't know I needed.

I like how Alex could easily be a one man label with a diverse roster of bands that just all happen to consist of just him.

Just remember, if you get paid, youre a professional. Also: I remember seeing Fall Out Boy with about 10 people (yes I’m old) because there was a time when they wanted to be known and no one knew who they were or liked them. Point being: club promoters are typically useless and scummy.

This is why I love and hate KZfaq, because you get to see amazingly talented people produce phenomenal content but it takes forever to find them! Been binging your content and I absolutely love what you do. Thank you for being you and sharing your passion with us! I love your vibe and love the music, looking forward to the next one!

“What do you guys sound like” was brilliant

Gang Vox on the first "Dance dance" in the choruses would've pushed this into another level. Fantastic as always, Alex

Was hoping for an Alex scream, dope song either way

This is sooo good. I want the audio version of this so I can rock it on repeat in the car.

I'd be moshing it up to this song if I could go back 20 years. Awesome!

Please add this on Spotify!!! Hoping to hear more of the Death Inevitable covers! More break downs!! 🤟

Sold out show at The Cootie Hut! Lets f'n gooo!

If I was you, I’d want to be in your bad. Everyone seems to mesh well together

Death Inevitable is actually a great band name

Intro: hilarious and painfully relatable to all serious musicians Production: incredible. The reworking of some of the progressions and groove is sick

I love this! Different to your usual stuff but still in the perfect catchment area of lads in their 30s who went from listening to pop punk, then to hardcore/metalcore then back around. It's a fun nostalgia trip!

This, stylistically, is wonderful. I'd love to hear Death Inevitable's original debut album.

Those drum fills on "why don't you show me a little bit of spine", oh my God, they're gorgeous.

This has to be the most epic cover I’ve heard of yours so far. It’s like if Fall Out Boy, The Used and Disturbed had a baby.

The set ups for these are getting elaborate

I just keep coming back to this song because the whole thing slaps, but man, the breakdown is nothing short of a masterclass. Alex, can't wait for more of these!

It’s giving killswitch!

I love the way you’ve been integrating the like/comment/subscribe into the narrative, so creative! And a cliffhanger! Can’t wait till next video.

Somehow you've made one of my last favorite fall out boy songs so much better

The skits you do are killer. So funny and accurate! (Which makes them also sad) keep it up that was great!

I'd really like to see more heavy stuff like this, you named off a lot of my favorite bands from back in the day and nailed the song so you got my sub. More please!

This is a great start of a series-like content. Can't wait for the next episode

Holy shit! Who knew that Alex could go heavy too?!?! This was soooooo good! I hope to hear more like this!!!

Nothing, and I mean *nothing* could have prepared me for Fallout Boy breakdowns. This is officially my favorite thing you've ever done!

Loving the new style of these covers and the direction your taking bro!!! keep it up!

Omfg loved this so much. Banged my head the whole time, with goosebumps. Love you style Alex. Cheers bro

Those guitar parts were so sick

Dude this goes so insanely hard please do more fall out boy covers like this. One of my favorite bands and this really just turns it to 11…insanely talented man.

By far one of my favorite videos you've ever done! Insane to see how talented you are with every new video! Keep up the good work!

These new narrative-driven videos are killer. I can wait for all the lore in the Meltonverse.

Make some of the vocals screamo and it's a 10/10 punk goes pop cover

So fun! Keep up the great work man.

Loved everything about this! Definitely a new favorite!!! Thank you Alex!! 😎

Alex I loved this version but there is one little thing I feel it was missing if hopefully you continue in this genre. I'd love to see someone doing a bit of scream vocals. I don't think it would be need to be a lot but I feel it would add a lot to the sound. Other than that, like I said great video! Truly outstanding.

The label wasn’t wrong, that was an incredible cover 😳🔥🔥

Absolutely love this arrangement - I am big into heavy rock/metal covers of punk/ska/emo - this ticks all the boxes for me! Keep em coming

Love love love this! I'd be thrilled to see it up on Spotify sometime.

Lol. The $100 for the night and it's got exposure. My first job was in a music store and I heard this from everyone. Years to learn and instrument and people don't see it as a very valuable skill for some reason.

Pay to play is a real thing. At least you got a Saturday evening slot and not a Wednesday night at 5:30 pm LOL!

👏, I love that, really wanted more heavy stuff, awesome stuff

Love this! Works so well.

A better cover of this song doesn't exist.

Everything about this video was on point... right down to 9:07 pm.

That breakdown is sick! Much love from Cebu Philippines!

please release full version of this, its banging

Just when I thought he couldn't get any better.....this is the best! Keep it up and please drop a heavy cover album!

1:45 - That intro was godlike. I like Africa, the only problem is the lack of good live rock.

This video brought me so much happiness!! Even your standard like and subscribe part is so incredibly well done!!

Attack Attack and Fall Out Boy touring together back in the 2000s

This. Is. My. Shit.

Omfg. I love this! Good job dude!!!

Another banger alex, thank you

You're absolutely killing it, I will say I would love to see you have a metal vocalist join you for a song like this to take it to that next mind blowing level.

Well that was the best version of that song I've ever heard! 🙌🏻🤘🏻🎹🎸🎛️

I got goosebumps listening to this! Great cover! Such a clever spin on the song. Great job dude!

That intro, though. I've been there waaaaay too many times. I'm laughing... but crying at the same time LOL! Great one, Alex!

I've watched all your shit, but this one is ESPECIALLY good. Keep going bro

🤘🔥 smashed it mate! Been binging loads of your stuff recently, it’s so consistently awesome

Alex man you've done it again. You continue to show us how versatile you can be while also giving us killer interpretations of childhood jams. Love you dawg, Keep on Rockin

Really enjoyed this!

Holy shit! I wasn’t expecting this! Alex yet again, hell of a job

11/10 extra perfect. LOVE the sketch and the song was awesome.

Best video yet. Your talent is unreal.

Broooo this went way too hard! Keep them coming! Love your content!

Great job Alex!!! That was amazing bro!!

Yes I need more of this please thank you.

LOL "so yeah, never heard anything like it." I love your influences so that makes sense. Happy to be a fan!! This song slaps💕💕

This slaps. You did it again. Never ceases to amaze me.

Dude, this is amazing. Love your covers.

It's ridiculous how high you set the bar. Amazing thanks for that 🙏

Dude this WHOLE VIDEO SLAYED

Dude you absolutely smash every genre, it’s unreal! Brings me back to my teenage years

Love this format, we need more skits!!!

Your vocals are getting even better, dude. It's a pleasure to witness. Can't wait for more of this! DEATH INEVITABLE 🔥

Yooo!!! That break down!! Loved it man! You revived that song!🤙🏼

This is awesome bro! Every new upload gets better and better. More breakdowns please!!! 💙🇧🇷

Wow you really can nail every genre. I'm absolutely here for this 🙌
