New footage discovery! Found this amazing footage from that time Damon from Fenix TX played drums with the band back in 2000 Huge shout-out to Damon for sharing this amazing footage! More information from Damon on Instagram! Unearthed from an ancient hard drive. The only footage I’ve ever seen of the tour I did playing drums for Blink 182. One time a long time ago @fenixtx was on tour with Blink and Bad Religion. A few weeks in Travis broke his hand in a fight. I was still playing guitar in Fenix. Our tour manager mentioned to the Blink guys that I could probably do their set on drums. We ran through their entire show at sound check and it sounded good so I spent the next 5 weeks playing 2 sets a night. One with Fenix and another with Blink. I hadn’t played drums in years and had blisters all over my hands. It was Blink’s first time headlining arenas and the biggest tour Fenix TX ever did. Good times. 🤘🏽

I suggest that @Bad Boyz be temporarily banned. He posted that video in two different threads, and now people are discussing this topic in two separate places.

@Locean Breeze - Jan fun fact, “Can’t Go Back” didn’t use a drum sample, at least for the snare drum. Cool new video from the producer GOAT just dropped on Reverb today. Apparently T-Rav just recorded all the drums for Yellowcard’s new album as well.

this always makes me want to cry, such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful song @Scott.

Just watched this, so Travis and his friend wrote all of One More Time (the song). Kinda interesting.

Ok Sigmund. Lol.

We've all got it in us. The bear.

According to Youtube. But bearly.

Yeah it’s a beautiful song Elisa. I’m a sucker for their sound.

Definitely one of biggest masterpieces ever written.

Saw all these and they are amazing! Prior to this I was never able to see footage from these shows. And Damon killed it on the drums! I am not surprised though because his drumming on Lechuza was top tier. It’s funny though because at the time of the tour he was Fenix TX’s guitarist, not drummer…so their drummer had to have felt awkward knowing his guitarist was a better drummer than himself lol

That’s an African Grey parrot. Lovely birds. don’t fuck it.

That's the reason blink works so well. Mark and Tom work as a perfect duo in terms of composition. They keep each other's balance. I always though that the two first AvA records had potential HUGE blink songs if Mark would have had the chance to participate in them with some producer's help. A few come to mind: Valkyrie Missile, The War, The Adventure, The Gift, Start The Machine, It Hurts, Love Like Rockets, Call To Arms, Heaven, Secret Crowds and Star Of Bethlehem. Don't get me wrong. I like them for what they are, but I think they could have become huge blink songs. And if you pay attention to BCR, which also was Tom being Tom, it was way more concrete because Finn was the producer.

New addition to the timeline website! found schedule for this show (huge credits to butterflywithbullets on Reddit for sharing this gem!) 7/4/1996: The band performs at Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona, kicking off their stint on Warped Tour 1996. Source :

I don’t think Mark’s book will be anything like Travis’s and I imagine the cancer will be a large portion of it, I am curious to read it.

When did Skiba’s dark nature creep into the band? LOL Did it seep in through the window?

This is hands down the most depressing studio I’ve ever seen. What a horrible concept/reason to have white walls. Cool snares though. edit: really liked the interview, thanks Diddy
