Travis Barker of Blink 182 is in the new, June 2005 issue of Drum! Here's a quote from the magazine... "For ten years, basically, we'd put out a record, tour for two-and-a-half years, write a record, tour, going nonstop. Everyone in the band has kids. We would come home and my son wouldn't know who I was. Everyone has taken the opportunity to spend time with our kids, but now it's getting busy for me. It was fun while it lasted. Anyway, Blink will probably, most likely, make a record in January of next year." w00t!
His life is getting busy because he has to market his life to MTV kids by selling out and having his own little TV show. I lost what little respect I had for Blink 182 after seeing Travis Barker got his own show ala, Britney and Kevin/Jessica and Nick.
He's on about taking time out and yet he's working on "Plus 44" & recording his new show with MTV? It don't seem like a break to me, more of a break from Blink. A new album from Blink isn't really surprising though. P.S, Derek, You forgot Carmen & Dave. :whistle:
Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think that his last statement (the bolded part) completely contradicts everything else he said in that quote?
Meet The Barkers has already stopped filming. Plus 44 supposedly is almost done so yeah, I think that a new album will be in the works in January.
I dont think the fact that their wedding is over is the only reason that show stopped. Cause to be honest, the show really sucked. ...Just like any of MTV's other reality shows (Carmen & Dave included).
YAY! What a long time its been without blink...these past 2 months have been unbearable witout them!!!!!! (Yes I was being sarcastic but it is good news)
Christ, can they make their minds up. One minute they're not together and the next they're thinking about a new album. This is good news and all but it's so hard to keep up
Yea, especially the little line before it. ''It was fun while it lasted.'' And since when has he been in Blink for 10 years? Hasn't he only been there since like '97? He's acting like he's in Green Day.

And Newlyweds was worth it just to see Jessica Simpson in a bikini a few times.
Let's act like Travis didn't sell out before the Meet The Barkers show, right Derek? You know he sold out long before that. Anyways, I didn't expect Blink to be back ever after their "indefinite hiatus" thing. After all, At The Drive-In is still on an "indefinite hiatus" too.
And all the depressed Blink teenies are now coming out of their rooms with mascara running down their eyes rejoicing that Blink 182 didnt break up
Plus he still has to go on tour with The Transplants through the summer. He's not having that much of a break .
what the fuck sold out? if i was offered that much money jsut to let people with cameras follow me around for a while i know that i would accept the offer. cut. some. slack.
It's amazing how people can say ''sell out,'' but if they were put in the same situation they would do the same exact thing.
