Pretty aggressive shit to come out of nowhere though Well it's probably because he's still relevant with the newer young artists he's producing. If he hadn't been doing anything then it'd be really random. Still random. Drummers are drummers. Since when are they the heart of a band? They all hop around filling in and stuff. Quote

Especially the blink “fans” shitting on him. go join ry bread if you can't handle people on here finding travis's publicity stunts to be lame. it's mild criticism at best. the guy is nearly 50 years old. every day the world is greeted with a heavily photoshopped image of him shoving his tongue down a reality tv star's throat. it's just yet another thing that kills the memories i had of this band growing up. 1 1 Quote

Very true. I don't care as much because it's just Travis, but I definitely don't look up to him in any realm or enjoy the fame whoring. It's fine when it's Mark + Tom then Travis, but when Travis is dictating the band and direction it kind of sucks. I mean he's the reason we got Feldy. Him being whorey with Boxcar pushed away Mark.

Cheerios4u98 Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Travis is cringe on social media but I don’t see how that affects how he plays drums lol 1 Quote

Speedo Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Ilan is generic and Nine Inch Nails hasn't been good in more than 2 decades. Atom is great though, a solid drummer. I definitely prefer Atom to Travis. Quote

Elisa Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 LJG has a very old school idea of punk. That was probably her way to say that she can't stand this new wave of pop punk carried entirely by Travis. 2 1 Quote
NotNow Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I thought Travis was great on neighborhoods. His drumming really elevated those songs and made them interesting. After that I haven’t noticed anything interesting 3 Quote
twentytwenty Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 'The Knife' was Travis's big redemption in my eyes Quote
Ghent Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Just another guy who probably never liked blink besides the AVA sounding songs.. Imagine getting this triggered over someone making out with a Kardashian on Instagram. Unfollow him ffs. Atom and Ilan better than Travis? ? fuck me up the ass 1 Quote

It's pretty close between Atom and Travis, skill-wise. Quote

Seriously though, Atom isn't as flashy but he's seriously fucking skilled and sought out. They're pretty even if your judging straight skill. Travis probably has an edge performance and entertainment wise, he is an amazing drummer who knows how to put on a show. Whereas Atom is more of a drummers drummer and just drives the bus. Ilan hasn't ever struck me as anything special. He seems like more of a jack of all trades musically than anything truly special. 1 Quote
JarJarBlinks Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Illan is one of those typical child prodigy kids who have incredible talent for whatever endeavor it is, but don’t really seem to have passion for it. He’s amazing, so I’m not trying to pull a LJG here, but he is the definition of a mercenary. he joined with Tom in order to pimp out his personal band, which is fine, but still. Isn’t like he is super loyal to AVA or something. 2 Quote
