Uhmm, I Thought Travis Hated The Camera

[Frank Giaramita]

MTV (www.mtv.com) has signed Blink 182 (www.blink182.com)'s Travis Barker to star in his own reality show, which will be premiering in 2005. According to MTV, Travis, Shanna and their family will be featured in "Meet The Barkers", and the series will feature the group attending events, parties and other family get-togethers.

I saw this on the site also. I kinda wonder how the world's quietest dude ever will fair in a reality show, maybe his wife will do all the talking, this will be like the osbournes..

[FoR3VeR]

travis barker the next ozzy ousburne...

[LPMagic]

Talk about the last guy out of 'my kinda music' that I thought would do a reality show, holy schnikes. Oh well, either way it'll be better than 95% of the shit on MTV.

[Frank Giaramita]

Maybe the whole show just involves MTV shoving a camera in Travis' face and him sitting there staring into it in dead silence for a half hour...that would rule.

[fminus23]

i wouldnt mind if they just filmed him playing drums for 30 mins, id watch it.
but i think tom and mark will be seen often and god knows those guys are entertaining.

...badass

[BIGDeVriendt]

Well even if you dont think this is a good idea, its alot better then what Mtv has been coming up with lately........like shows about girls making out with random guys and buying shoes *cough LAGUNA BEACH cough*

[PunkDrums182]

thats cool i hope he plays some drums with guest stars tom and mark.

[popdisaster00]

fucking awesome, i finally have a reason to turn on the tv now

(besides to watch arrested development)

Travis should do some sort of learn to drum show, where he drums really fast for 30mins....I'd watch it.

[Kif]

I really would've never expected this from Travis. He always seemed like the one in the band who liked the publicity the least. Maybe it was Shanna's choice, and they are using his name for hype?

Oh well, more pathetic shows on MTV which no one will watch.

[fakelikedying]

']Travis should do some sort of learn to drum show, where he drums really fast for 30mins....I'd watch it.

Me too. He should just play drums for the whole show. That'd be amazing.

[DooDooBird]

if Mark and Tom are on this thing... i'm watching! plus... maybe tim armstrong will be on there too. it'll be a huge punk rock party.

or it could be disastorous... it could have nothing but members of black eyed peas. and then Xibit and his boys from westcoast customs would show up. they'd be rapping while Travis lays down a beat. and Bubba Sparx will be in the backyard cooking...

hahha....yeahh....I predict lots of guest appearances, because you know, celebrities hang out with other celebrities all the time.

It should be entertaining.

[hinkelmanf]

reality tv sucks

[Chemical Love]

sounds like a horrible idea for a show but i'll watch it anyways.

[Adam Brody]

Laguna Beach, my arch nemesis....

[knifewound]

WOAH!!! That username really does suit you well, you're just fucking INSANE!!!



hahahah...he really is....

[IAPAI]

If the show would be a cross between Newlyweds and Diary that would be decent, because they are going to have to involve some stuff with him recording, touring, etc. The Transplants new album is coming out soon so there will probably be a lot of hype for that, and of course it is just a 30 minute advertisement for Blink albums. Good move on his part - promotion for all of his musical endeavors.

[SwedishHeat]

His wife is so hot. I'd watch it.

And for the record, his wife was hot before she was his wife. She's been hot since she was on Pacific Blue, with A.C. Slater. \m/

if you were the quietest guy ever we wouldnt even be able to hear your internet voice

[nud0]

This is sketchy...

[grimis16biz]

If this isnt another sign of how shitty blink has gone down since travis joined, i dont know what is. I have always hated Travis. I dont know why, maybe its how he looks like a rock-thug, or how overrated his drumming skills are, i dont know. But i am ready to see him humiliated on national televison. So maybe his selling out isnt all that bad.

You're right. Blink was way better when they had a drummer who played the same beat every song and Tom and Mark couldn't sing in key. What's wrong with looking rock-thug? He likes hip hop.. he likes punk rock.. He even likes Silverchair. He does what he wants to do and that's all that matters and I'm sure that he hates you too.

[New Renaissance]

What a horrible band.

[fminus23]

grimis16biz-

that was one of the dumbest posts i have ever read. you apperantly hate him because he looks like a "rockthug"? yea good call dude because apperantly he cant dress like he wants, but god you go on ahead and dress in all black with studded belts cause theres nothing wrong with that, but god help travis if he wants to dress a ccertain way

[DooDooBird]

He does what he wants to do and that's all that matters and I'm sure that he hates you too.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! rofl

[XlenceOfXecution]

damn...it seems that everyone is getting their own reality show now...im going to try it and see if i can get anywhere...one on travis should be interesting though...

[rock andrew rol]

shoulda been tom

[icebrkr]

Ive yet to post on absolutepunk because I really hate getting into fights with people (as ive done in the past) based on opinions. But please, dont call Travis Barker's drumming "overrated".

[Basketcase]

ugh. instead of another shitfest reality show, mtv should bring back Beavis and Butthead, Jackass, and Celebrity Deathmatch. if this was a reality show based on Blink's glory years (anywhere between Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch era), then i would definately watch. just another money making scheme for Travis.

wow, you're such a rebel!

btw, Beavis and Butthead is funny if you're 10 years old. Celebrity Deathmatch is funny when you're 13.

and if you want to see jack ass again... just watch Viva La Bam and Wild Boys... its the same exact thing.

[March_Faster!!]

gay as fuck, who cares about travis going to meet and greets. i just want to hear his music.

Way to make sure you specifiy the Blink eras that are cool, so noone can accuse you of selling out or not being a punk...you care too much

Actually travis is the only oneout of blink who actually like's the hollywood scene he even moved thier.Mark has turned things down alot, i think he has definatly became a family man, and tom turned all serious and political which isnt a bad thing its just not the same tom who would go on stage and just talk for more than half the show.I think travis is the only one who would make a good celebrity.

[lovenotwar_rx]

Travis is a cool guy and all but seriously..is MTV that desperate for viewers?

[heavy loads]

randy from finch is going to be hosting a new show on mtv..

[Timberwolf]

wow, you're such a rebel!

excuse me, but beavis and butthead is timeless entertainment.

you must have no soul

[drivthru182]

I think this is all a joke. Not in the ' this is gya, they cant be serious' sense, but more in the, you got punk'd type of way.
