Travis Barker Considering Australian Trip with Blink After All
 

We recently told you that Blink 182 might be touring in Australia in February with a fill in drummer. Now, Travis Barker says he is considering getting knocked out to take the flight.

I’m contemplating getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia. I want to overcome that eventually. When I do, I think it’s going to be Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality — knock on wood. It’s something I want to overcome for me — and my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.

Pretty brave that he's considering it! Though he is young, he'd have to get over his fear of flying at some point.

And I agree that Qantas is a great airline. Any international airline > US domenstic ones,

good luck, travis!

Damn that's cool of him.

That kind of crash would scare the shit out of anyone, good luck to him getting through it.

I never read the full post about this before, so I didn't realize that this was the reason he wasn't going to go. That's gotta be really scary but good for him

Thats rad, I hate to break it to the dude but unless you just wanna play the states and Europe over and over again, flying becomes a requirement at some point.

not a blink182 fan at all, but i cannot imagine them playing with anyone but travis, it would just be awkward. hes part of the show. this is a big step for him. good stuff.

what road do you drive on to get to europe?

Go Trav!

Respect to him for this, I don't really care for Travis' personality most of the time, but this is cool.

Good for him, I can't imagine how hard that would be

He means its more feasible to take a boat to Europe. Definitely too far to do that for Australia, that's what he's been doing for their European shows thus far

He went to Europe via boat.

Wishing him the best.
