I forgot how good a drummer travis barker is, blink never did him justice.

as much as i love blink, it's true. i think that talent-wise, neither of the other two could touch travis.

In blink he was always playing simple beats, the fact he learned an entire set in one night when their first drummer dropped out shows that one he is talented and two its pretty simple stuff.

I loved what he did for Box Car Racer. Almost every song started off with a super structured drum beat that Travis kept through the whole song without missing a beat. That album doesn't get the appreciation it should.

PS- Fuck Plus 44 and Angels in Amercia or whatever the other post blink band is called.

(Angels & Airwaves)

I was pretty impressed by his one handed drum playin' skills during that tour he did with the one band with the hair and te whatever.

i love every single band after blink. possibly because i'm a blind follower of any of their music (because i swear it's all the same, just with a slightly different sount) or possibly because it's actually good and i'm just the only one who notices.

granted, i haven't really listened to +44 yet, i just got the cd. late, i know. but the rest of them. boxcar racer, a&a, transplants (i count them)

isn't transplants just like, Travis barker, the guy from rancid, and a few homeless people?

FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 23 '07 at 5:21pm

lol...that's the best description of the transplants ever ipear. I'm not really a fan of them, or angels and airwaves despite the dude from blink insisting they are the band that is meant to save rock and roll, but i take that like the dude on the corner with the faux-Jesus beard who tells me he's my savior and to get in the back of his renovated pet control van.

Boxcar Racer is the only one of these bands that i found remotely capturing some of the ol' blink flavor, but the darker more riff-heavy corners of their music. their last blink album kinda tapped into the same place for the better.
