3/15/1998: The band performs at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

 

Longtime Blink-182 fan selling a special once in a lifetime cherished memento from the 1998 Swatch Snow Core Tour.

As a life long New Jersey resident, on March 15th 1998, I attended Blink-182’s show at the Asbury Park Nj Convention Hall, which coincided with Scott Raynor’s birthday.

After the concert, I had the incredible opportunity to interact with the band through their tour bus window. They kindly opened the window and signed a couple T-shirts, including mine. It remains one of the best experiences of my life, and I still have the ticket stub from that show as a memento

having blink 182 sign some shirts through their tour bus windows being one of the best experiences of their life kind of makes me sad. damn.

What a man. I love him. Gone too soon.

I remember Tom saying in an interview a long time ago that Joe Strummer sat on the side of their stage to watch blink’s set (he was there for daughters obviously)

that’s gotta be nerve wrecking. It would be like me trying to perform a set on the drums with Travis watching me or something lol

Fuck yeah. Good find Mon Ami. I think blink once said they consider themselves a Fisher-Price 'My First Punk Band'. If you can follow the thread from blink to The Clash, then Blink did their job - still do. RIP Joe

There is a recollection of Travis playing with The Aquabats in the amazing book "Harder To Breathe : A Memoir of Making Maroon 5, Losing It All, and Finding Recovery" by Ryan Dusick (highly recommend the book!)

One of the bands with whom we toured for a while, a cartoonish ska band called The Aquabats, featured an impressive young drummer named Travis Barker, whom we would watch from the side of the stage most nights. Travis came from a marching band background, and his technique and skill were leagues beyond mine or those of anyone else we watched play, which made me feel even more self-conscious about my own playing. He was so dedicated to his craft that he had a drum pad strapped to his knee most of the day, and he would practice his paradiddles while the rest of us were just hanging out backstage. I didn't even know what a paradiddle was, let alone how to play one as fast as he did with his perfect sticking technique. As a result of this kind of training, he could play with greater speed and precision that I had thought was possible. In my state of self-doubt, I would watch him play with envy, knowing that I was not in the same ballpark in terms of drumming skill. Every other band we toured with was trying desperately to steal him from the Aquabats, and Blink-182 eventually did.

Before being called Maroon 5, the band was called Kara's Flowers and toured with Goldfinger, Save Ferris and Reel Big Fish
