Capsov Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I just don't think Travis is into blink's music anymore. If you found the right drummer (someone who wasn't constantly busy with a million other rap projects) it could really bring the band together again. Mark could move to San Diego? I'm all in. I love travis, but really don't care whether he is blink's drummer or not. The band was good before him, they would be good after him. I agree 100%.

atticus18244fsas Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 For fuck's sake, Travis jumped out of the damned plane before it eventually crashed, while he was on fire. If Travis ever got in a bad car crash do you think he would completely stop driving and riding in cars? Dude you're a fucking idiot. Do you even know what you're talking about? Do you know anything about trauma? Fucking moron. You have a job that partly relies on worldwide travel but you were scared to fly even before the crash. If he really wanted to fly he could.

Ghent Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't want that Ilan tool to be blink's drummer though. He seems like a self centered drum whore. Travis 2.0. I think they would be better off with someone humble. They don't need a super star drummer. It is blink-182, not Slayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love travis, but really don't care whether he is blink's drummer or not. The band was good before him, they would be good after him. i agree with all of that, but i don't think mark will ever move back to san diego. i recall there being an interview in 06/07 about why he left there and he had no intentions of moving back. either way, the distance shouldn't keep them in separate studios. they should take a few months and all come together to record (especially with the amount of money they have to travel). tons of bands (with less money) who have members geographically separated do it for every album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Blink is the only band where he actually shows off his drumming skills. When he was in the Transplants he just sat there the entire show and played one beat. I am not sure how he was happy. But he certainly seems more into whatever freaked out shit he's got going on ( looking like an 300 yr old mummy) than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like a fear of flying, then a near death experience along with that fear is not a small fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I hate to get too crazy with conspiracies, but this really seems like the first step toward replacing Travis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Andrew. Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It wouldn't even bother me if i was in Australia, you won't even notice the difference if they get someone decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah, I doubt you'd notice a difference outside of the solos and crazy Travis intros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 i'd rather have three more songs in the set than a ten minute drum solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't give a shit about Travis at all lol. I'm glad he's alive but that's where that ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 i think he's one of the best drummers of all time. but blink doesn't need one of the best drummers of all time. all he does is make recording and touring more complicated. i would miss him, but would welcome a change. it's got to be awkward working with him for mark and tom. i mean ever since +44 broke up, mark hasn't seemed very close to him either. mutual respect, but not friends. if given the choice between blink or lil wayne, does anyone really think travis would choose blink? that is precisely the problem.

Mau5 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 They wouldn't replace Travis, blink's audience grows with Travis - it isn't hindered. They'll do a small tour in Australia and have a fill in drummer, exactly what +44 did when he broke his arm or whatever happened. I don't understand how this is such a big deal to anyone.

This is probably what will happen. But you never how shows would go with a different drummer. What if they have more fun? For them to even consider playing without Travis obviously signals that conversations have taken place. Before the 2009 reunion I remember Travis was asked whether he planned to continue with blink. His answer was sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His answer was sketch. We know the conversation has taken place in any case, as people have asked him this question ever since the plane crash (not to mention he took a boat to Europe, so obviously it was still discussed then). I honestly don't think they're in a bad place with any of the members, and if anything, Travis will use the time off to work on his side projects and get whatever fix he gets outside of blink during the downtime. I personally think Travis would choose blink over his side-projects, he seems to have a lot of fun with Mark and it doesn't seem to take much of his time out of doing his other various projects and collabs.
