This dude survived a plane crash, two Tom Delonge flake outs, helped him make music while on a flake out, and still says man, "I don't hate anybody." Not only does this dude believe in music enough to bring so much together helping with festivals, he's probably one of the best drummer's ever too. This guy should write a book.
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl Travis is consistently listed in the top 100 drummers of all time, if he's THE best is your opinion but he's widely respected as one of the GOATs.
I'm impressed with Travis's honesty. He's confident about his choices and the way he feels about life. He isn't going to waste to much time on haters. He won't hold a grudge and just hopes the best for others. He appreciates the people in his life so much. He won't blame anyone for being themselves. He wants to be with people that their hearts really show in the work they're doing. I think that is a refreshing way to live. Wish I could have heard him speak more about his family.
the interviewer keeps cutting Travis off... dude.. people are listening to this interview to listen to Travis talk, not to hear you interrupt him all the time.
Surprisingly, Travis is very well-spoken. And Delonge has every right to do as he pleases with his life and career, but he is a douche for not being a man about the whole situation. Going through e-mail and your manager instead, is a COWARDLY move.
travis is my hero. I don't care if anyone says shit about me, I've looked upto trav since I was 15. he's influence my life in such a massive way, helped me through some tough times. you're awesome, so happy to hear you are still such a good person.
It's funny that he rags on Tom for not helping with the album when Tom fucking wrote 95% of it anyway. I just assumed there was an agreement among the band members that Tom writes most of the albums, Mark write those one or two songs that no one will listen to more than once or twice and Travis pretends he's a rapper/pop star and does does with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.
Tom definitely went through a personality change/personal growth in front of the world. Notice how Mark is seldom serious or introspective. Tom was just like Mark until the 2003 album he became more serious and introspective and mature in a sense. And he brings that to Blink's music when he writes with them.
I am going to sit in the middle of this like travis. No hate for anyone. But I am seeing a link between this and the rest of the AVA departures. I wish Tom and everyone the best
I understand why Tom left Blink, his heart wasn't in it anymore. Tom just didn't love playing with Mark+Travis as much as he used to. It really pisses me off that Tom wanted Travis to leave Blink because he couldn't fly to Australia with them. Matt Skiba is a great part of Blink and brings an energy and a passion to Blink that Tom doesn't have anymore because he stopped caring about Blink long before he left again.
Can't trust what he says in this interview, apparently Aj Maddah (soundwave promoter here in straya) was angry about tickets not selling as well as he thought, all 5 shows sold out in like the first day. Since that year the venues have been reduced in size and don't sell out. 2 of the 5 dates are no longer on the tour. There certainly is more to the story.
Just telling his side of the story, he and Mark are perfect and Tom is the bad guy. They claim they just want to make and play music, but since the breakup Tom has been releasing music left and right while Travis and Mark just keep holding on to that Blink limelight as long as they can. It's obviously not about the music to Travis and Mark. If it was then they would just do that stupid Plus44 crap. But music has nothing to do with it, it's about the fame and spotlight. Well that and the fact that Mark doesn't know how to do anything but Blink. He's like a kid that got really good at Madden 99 and only wants to play that, even though everyone else around him has grown up and moved on.
Or maybe just doesn't want his creation (blink) to die. He already said goodbye back in 05 and now he had to part again? It's never been about the fame to them. Mark just loves music, whether it's composing or playing
Great channel. Always wondered what happened with Tom and the group. The actual truth. Not sure why Tom decided to leave Blink and become an alien chaser... but I hope he finds peace within himself and maybe someday soon will decide to commit himself to the band again. Blink182 is life.
My theory is that Tom lost his guitar chops and his singing voice. He wants to do another album, but he's just doesn't have the talent to play any longer.
Travis got divorced so, don't tell others how to manage the time they spend with paralel works and family, because it seems you didn't do so well dear Baker.
