... what can I say? WOW! Travis is a beast. I've always liked him , grew up listening to the music he made. Seeing him live is something else, the engery he has is unbelieveable. I had such a great time that evening, I just wish it lasted longer! He seems such an awesome dude and a great father, his kids came out during the encour to release beach balls into the crowd! Amazing band full of energy and jokes, sound was incredible!
WOW. |

| Saw blink when they toured their self titled album. Despite what drum snobs who heard half of "all the small things" one time would have people believe, the guy's a fantastic drummer. |

I think alot of the anti-Travis feeling was caused by "fanboys" on forums proclaiming him to be the best ever & all that....Similar scenario to Joey Jordinson.
Personally, I think he's a brilliant drummer. |

I really can't stand Blink 182's music so I've never bothered to pay much attention to the drumming - the singer's voice alone makes my brain shut down in protest. I have no doubt that he's a good drummer, but I can't abide listening to them...
Each to their own and all that though, just my opinion. |

| Seems quite a humble guy that loves drumming, never understood the grief he gets from some people. People like him are what inspire kids to start playing. |

Apparently a lot of his personality traits these days are a result of his 'near death experience' - he was in a plane that crashed/caught fire and his PA and bodyguard died as a result, along with two crew members. He was quite badly injured, so he's now very much 'appreciating what he's got' as it were.
I too can understand the 'anti-Travis' movement as there was a point a few years back where he was everywhere and a lot of younger players thought he was the only drummer worth listening to, but I really rate him, especially if you listen to some of the more 'grown up' Blink stuff and other stuff like +44 and Box Car Racer. |
