When The Local Heavy Band Is Really Into My Chemical Romance 

TO ANSWER ANY GEAR QUESTIONS (ESPECIALLY DRUMS) I'm using a Roland kit imp.i114863.net/jWDXLv as a midi controller, to control this virtual instrument: imp.i114863.net/zaXgq7 My Vocal Mic: imp.i114863.net/qnkDBO My Bass: imp.i114863.net/5bz36o My interface: imp.i114863.net/vn1zON

Not only is Alex an expert in multiple instruments, in a myriad of genres, but he's now got several different storylines going in his sketches before and after the songs themselves. AND he's got himself a record deal. What can't this guy do?

Can we give it up for this sound guy who not only works late saturday nights at The Cootie Hut but then wakes up early to help out with the church's sound system. What a trooper.

if there was a "local heavy band" this good i would be at every show lol

My Chemical Romance is one of those bands that takes you back in time. Shot me straight back to middle school with this one. Incredible work!

One of the biggest mysteries of 21st century is... How does Alex Melton only have 350k subs??? This guy should be counting in mills by now

This is a hard song to hit vocally. Very impressive

Just saw MCR last month! First time seeing them since 2007, and Helena was always and still is a favorite. You NAILED this cover!!

How can someone so casually be this damn good? This is amazing.

I said it last time, and I'll say it again. I need an entire Death Inevitable emo cover album!

Saw the title and rushed over right away lol

Need a version without the opening for my music playlist This smashes

The arrangement is heavy AF; but you can't take the emo out of his vocals! :) Great stuff, keep it coming!

If my “local heavy band” sounded this amazing I think my face would melt. This is so unbelievable, thank you Alex for blessing us with this cover🙏🏻

If I closed my eyes it sounded like Bert McCracken singing..like The Used doing a cover. It rules. Great as always.

Alex makes the best, consistently banging covers on RU-vid. Period.

These skits remind me of the cutscenes and storylines in Tony Hawk’s Underground, and I’m totally here for it!

The vocals on this one have a real Coheed and Cambria vibe and I'm loving it.

The sound guy getting his face melted at 2:27 gets me. EVERY TIME. Such a good cover, Alex.

I am REALLY enjoying this as a drama series. And as a musician who never made it. All the feels.

As a former Taco Bell employee I can inform you that cinnamon twists are basically fried pasta noodles with cinnamon sprinkled on.

I went into this super skeptical, MCR being my favorite band, and you did a beautiful job. All the support!!😭💕

This slaps harder than my drunk father in law.

There was a point in time where I'd constantly be surprised at how good the stuff was that Alex would put out. He's been so fucking consistent that it's never a surprise anymore when it's an instant banger. It's just expected now.

Big mcr fan here and this is the best cover I ever heard . Crying literally right now you captured the soul

Awesome cover dude, I think the vocals could be louder but I can appreciate the quality of the drums which sound like the focus to me.

im heavily invested with this fake band.. hope you continue and make it big!! this cover was great too

Please upload this to Spotify!🔥

This cover made me so happy. Wasn’t that big of a MCR fan. But you absolutely killed this cover. I can’t wait for it to be on Spotify.

HOLY SHIT THE INTRO JUST STARTED AND I LOVE THIS COVER ALREADY

I have been looking for it all over Spotify. Really great cover!!

The low end is mixed SO well in this. It's so full, and the bass sounds outstanding. Kinda of a weird lead observation about an outstanding cover, but that's what jumped out at me.

The vocalist throwing his arms at the cut before the 2nd verse is everything. Sold.

That was a good skit, great cover and good outro that hints at an upcoming video. I can't wait to see what's next.

Im so glad that I found your channel some months ago! From some of your older songs to your newer ones, theres always such bangers✌️

I love your work man! You are absolutely brilliant and your skill with bringing back such amazing bands and genres to your own style is so much fun to watch!

Well, now I’ve loved two Helena mixes & still haven’t heard the original.

You're a great singer, and my heart jumped when i saw that you sang this!

Your drumming just keeps getting better and better Alex!

This was honestly so sick man. By far my favorite series you have going

There’s RU-vid cover artists, and there is Alex, in a league of his own. He is the bar.

Everything is world class and that drumming just makes it so fresh

Daaang, I can’t wait to see Alex, Alex, and Alex on tour!

Some of your best work Alex! This is one of my favorites from MCR, and you nailed it!

Absolute gold. Every. Single. Song. Keep it up Alex!!

This is such a good cover for this song works so well!

I’m always impressed with your mixes. Absolutely unreal

Oof, that transition into the chorus after the bridge was 🔥. One of the greatest songs out there, and another amazing cover from Alex. Keep it up!

Those post show vibes late at night when nothing else is open is spot on.

I feel like I'm watching Rock Band Career Mode but way better! The post show Taco Bell is beyond relatable hahaha

The outro sounds like it's a cut-scene in Rock Bank when you're playing career mode XD

AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS! and love addition of a plot for our rising stars! Can't wait to see more of Alex and the Meltons!

Rollercoaster is still my ringtone 😂 this cover is so amazing too but what did I expect everything you touch turns to gold ❤

Alex Melton covering my favourite band in the whole world and nailing it 🙌🏻🖤

love your stuff Alex! each upload is spot on

Damn! I love your arrangements and your voice is absolutely killin' it on this one!

I feel like we, as a species, don’t deserve this dude’s talent! Banger after banger. 🤯

I love it! Great take on a classic emo song. I'd love to see The Adventure by Angels and Airwaves, in the style of a worship band :)

Dude I can't believe how good you are. Every video is just so unique and good ahhhh i LOVE it!

The drums in this go hard! Great cover!

So glad you're making this into a series, much love from Zimbabwe. Edit: Also, 0:30, Rollercoaster. I hope life's treating you well, you're a wonderful addition to our species. 1:08 - Also, that last joint was so fire that if I weren't already an atheist, I'd have been moon walking my ass outta church and into the hell for real for real. Lastly, I like Death Inevitable as an album name (but also very much as the alternative band name, it can be a whole Slim Shady/Eminem thing, it'd be great). 3:12 - Fuck yeah they do. 5:06 - Thank-you for doing this for a living. So nice you have to play it twice. 3:32 - On second watching, I really liked this... scene? shot? Either way, my favorite editorial decision. 7:45 - Real talk, I'm a biochemist. My life plan has always been to own bar in my retirement. I know how to make pretty much any alcohol, and I like bars mostly for the conversation. When that day comes, there will be a small sign near the entrance, with the words Cootie Hut written on it. Only I and whichever tiny minority both read this and eventually travel to said bar, or have read this message and are thus lead to speculate on whether or not said bar exists. As legitimate a concern as this may be, we can all agree that the level of mild discomfiture experienced by my guests would be more than outweighed by my pleasure at enjoying it, and knowing someone else out there does too. Third listen: 3:05 those drums were so right, just all of it was so good.

This cover is amazing. Is absolutely not heavy in any sense of the word. But it is very good.

Great editing and story telling on the video on top of the actual music.

This is so freaking good. Take the style then add all the perfect parts. The drum riff and fill out of the bridge to get out of the split second half time is so stinking good! I'm stealing that one.

It was me. I said that Death Inevitable is my new favorite band.

If my local bands sounded this good I would take the time to go see them.

This is so DOPE, my dude! Great job!

Nobody should be able to sing, play guitar, bass, drums, and just be over all this damn cool.

You keep dropping covers that are tighter and cleaner than the originals. Amazing adaptations. Love the music, thank you!

EXCELLENT video, fantastic sound, great intro and outro, Alex you are too good to us. Thank you.

seriously chills through out man awesome job!

Alex never fails to disappoint

My man Alex has a record deal and I’m here for all of it. He is so multitalented. Keep these bangers comin my dude.

The background music on, "What the hell is a cinnamon twist?" 🥲

Love it. So many good ideas in this cover.

Are all these dudes related?

This is my favorite thing you’ve ever done and I’ve been listening for years. You just can’t miss

This was my first time watching one of Alex’s videos and I thought it was great, the writing was good and drew me in, the mix was phenomenal on the song. And after seeing MCR live recently this cover sounded so so so very good. Alex deserves tall the subs!

I feel like this is the adult version of this song. I really liked the raw emotion when I was a teen. This feels more elevated, enunciated.

spotify when? :(

I’m first in line for the Death Inevitable t shirts and I will wear it proudly. You rock Alex and are so talented👍🤟🤟🔥

Are we talking about the Cootie Hut in South Carolina 😂😂😂😂

A local band from where I’m from actually had a pretty good cover of this song. They’re called Chasing Safety, they actually did pretty well for themselves, had a few albums out and toured the country a bit!

Hey Alex, would you say that this was one of the tougher vocals of any of the songs you've covered on this channel? I always thought Gerard was a solid vocalist and you definitely rose to the occasion.

This is really good. Your voice hits the spot

Shivers on goosebumps on chills. What a fuckin success. I love your work. Cry laughed when the beautiful moment broke to "your bandmates" sitting across from you in the carpark, then got more feels at the end. This series is fucking awesome. Congratulations dude.

Got all excited when I saw heavy :( this song deserves a solid breakdown and screaming

I would love to see him do a cover with Anthony Vincent. A combination of their Blink182 styles would be amazing.

Sick take on the song man! The guitar work is beautiful!

I don’t wanna be the “day x of asking Alex to add this to Spotify”, but I’m so very obsessed with this version….well here we are

First

Alex, all your videos are so so sick. Really ready for part 3

Once again I love love love the skits man. The story line with your music covers are god like.

Fantastic job! Easily my favorite thing you have done.

Content never lets me down. Love all the renditions.

I love the direction this is going... I'll tune in for the next episode

Back after a year, is this on Spotify yet? Absolutely love this cover!!!

I instantly subscribed as soon as you began singing. Damn dude. Talk about bringing it all back!

Daaaamn, yall killed this!!! The switch was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is amazing!! Never stop!!
