Travis Barker Plays With Everyone

[Frank Giaramita]

Travis Barker (Blink 182 / Transplants / Plus 44) played drums for rapper TI on Jay Leno last night. Anyone catch that?

[Manbotisdead]

thats badass.

[dpmurph]

No, but I did see him with Bow Wow once on some late night talk show.

[lostxinxmotion]

he also played with TI on Jimmy Kimmel about a month ago.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

i missed it..

[phoenixinflames]

i missed that, BUT

last tuesday, he played on the country music awards. It was some tribute with all these famous people to some dude who just died.

My roomayte was watching it and she was like "is that travis barker doing a country shuffle!?"....really funny shit

[clarkeycats]

rapped?

[elonman05]

Travis Barker is the most versatile drummer ever pretty much. The guy can play ANY STYLE and play it FUCKIN WELL!

[ever so sweet20]

[EriatarkaHRD]

Travis is kind of amazing.

[Digitalcursive]

Travis looks like the damn energizer bunny compared to every one else on stage

[DivisionStreet]

Behind Josh Freese.

Haha, Josh Freese is very talented. Weird that he has been a touring member of both Good Charlotte and A Perfect Circle. Has anyone heard his solo work he used to do? I bought an EP of it one time. It's pretty damn funny. There's one song I remember about the Playboy Mansion. I think it's called "You Don't Believe Me." I'm not sure though.

[Jamie Pham]

you know what? i did see that and i was confused

[mynameistaken]

yea i was watching and the camera went to the drummer and i was like "holy shit, whats Travis Barker doing there" i think he made a cameo in a recent TI video

Behind Josh Freese.

Probably in front of...Barker has overtaken Freese I would venture to guess.

[theredline]

Why were you confused? Barker is a thug now...has been for a while.

[gregplaysdrums]

Probably in front of...Barker has overtaken Freese I would venture to guess.

I kind of doubt it. Barker makes a lot of random tv appearances, but Freese still records drums for many different bands.

[FreddyKrueger]

I saw Travis play drums for Bow Wow a while ago it was stupid he was just playing the high hats with a drum machine behind him it was unneccesary and probably a PR stunt like everything he does nowadays. I'm glad he did move up to a rapper with a little more cred cuz seriously Bow Wow? what the hell

at warped, the ex drummer for sugarcult was telling us that he was the studio drummer for GC's first album and they kind of kept it under wraps or something.

he's trying to prove to everyone that exact fact. his versatility in drumming.

perhaps making him the true drum god of our generation?

[itsjdiggity]

TI is the man

[thedrummingpuma]

Josh Freese played on the second Good Charlotte album, as far as the first one I think it was the guy from Wakefield but who knows, studio recordings these day seem less honest. I've heard a story saying that the producer for the first hawthorne heights album used a studio drummer behind everyone's back. I don't know if it's true, but situations like that have happened before and Freese will admit to this practice existinge.

As far as Barker goes, I caught him on leno, but he was low in the mix in my opinion and he was just playing with the dj from what i could tell. I want to see his little project with DJ AM, the video's i've seen of it so far look cool. Barker will be one of the iconic drummers joing the ranks, of dave grohl, neil peart, john bonham, ect ect no doubt in my mind. Freese will be the known more for his insane amount of studio drumming and recording credits. His discography does laps around Barkers.

John Freese is now the permanent NIN drummer, Trent said he wants to keep the current line up together as long as possible, but then, you know what he's like.

that mightve been it then....the hawthorne heights story is untrue, its in their interview on this site.

[zizou1790]

trav is in T.I's video to

[Drew Beringer]

This reminds me that I need to pick up the new T.I. album one of these days.

[FOBcareemo]

he does that rock out/seizure thing when he plays country too

i wanan see that performance with T.I.

[ScarsOfTomarrow]

hahaha, ya i heard josh freese solo album back in the day like 8 yrs ago, it was terrible, he played all the instruments on it.

Neat, I went and checked out that interview, I don't really have an opinion about hawthorne heights. I think the band that they reffered to in the interview was the one that told me about that whole thing. I would hate to be in their drummers shoes and have to constantly defend that it was me on the drums.

[mybreakingpoint]

i think Travis Barker is by far the best drummer in this 'scene', and simply one of the best around anywhere today. when i listen to songs, i usually pay little or no attention to the drums. but i always do when it's travis, because it's always fucking awesome.

[lfdfforever]

Travis isn't that good at drums.

[lftcoastenvy05]

Travis isn't that good at drums.

...and santa claus is real

if by "some dude who just died," you mean Buck Owens, then yes.

[screamoutmyname]

Travis is the man.

[Kiss Of Octopus]

i'm amused at how rarely it is brought up that travis started out playing drums for the aquabats.

[lfdfforever]

no, but your mother is amazing on skin flute..... yeah my dad told me once before
