Mark Hoppus responds to SPIN editor's blog

February 26, 2009 in News by John

I propose we amend the stimulus package and re-dedicate blink’s share of the stimulus package to some other worthy cause. Like Elton John’s Jane Austen-era sci-fi movie Pride and Predator. Period costumes and animatronic aliens aren’t cheap, you know.

IGN: Travis mentioned in 10 great punk drummers' list

February 18, 2009 in News by John

Although he’s become a reality show star and tabloid target in the last few years, that doesn’t mean Travis Barker still isn’t one of the greatest drummers the punk world has yet to birth. In the span of a 3-minute pop/punk song, he’ll rock as hard as a death metal drummer in one section while flipping it over to a jazz styled backbeat the next. His fluidity knows no boundaries. It’s no wonder he looks up to forward-thinking musicians like Stewart Copeland (The Police) for inspiration. If you really want to hear Barker let loose, seek out Blink-182′s The Mark, Tom and Travis Show. On the disc it’s almost like someone told the guy he had one night left to play before he died; it’s that relentless.
