Travis Barker
There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.
I don't like traveling, period. I like being at places and I like going places, but I don't like forms of transportation.
I love tour, but I don't like traveling at night or driving long hours. But I love touring. If my kids could be out there full time, I'd probably never go home.
The whole time after you record an album, you're just waiting for the release date. You're waiting for fans to hear it and stuff.
I hate planes.
I think putting your relationship out there for people to interpret and have their own opinion about, I think it's crazy.
Usually, if I'm coming to Europe, I'm on a boat for seven days, so I spend the seven days doing a bunch of things. I'll do cardio for an hour or an hour-and-a-half and weights, just light weights.
I try to do an hour of cardio on the days that I have off, and then I'll do 30 to 45 minutes on show days. That's the first thing I do when I wake up, I have breakfast and then I'll hit the gym.
I juice a lot; I get as much protein as I can, because being a vegan, there isn't much protein. But that's pretty much it. I just drink lots of water, too. I'll have a protein shake as well every morning.
When I look at music, everything is blurred, and I like it that way. I grew up like that, hanging out with different types of people who listened to so many different types of music. I never wanted to be part of any one clique. I loved it all.
I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.
I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.
Express yourself, put stuff down on tape, and see what lives.Collection: Tape
I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.Collection: Jobs
Put me up in front of a million people and ask me to speak. I'll flop. But put me behind my drums and I'll always go with it.Collection: People
Take care of your colon and your colon will take care of you.Collection: Care
I think punk, pop-punk, and rock music is all meshed together and I think good music is good music.Collection: Thinking
With rock music, it usually revolves around the band. You go in as a band and probably take about a year to record an album. But for a hip-hop song, you can create a track and an idea with verses and choruses in a day, and get three different people on it. It seems like you're able to do more with hip-hop.Collection: Song
I want to beat the world record for the number of beats per second on a drum pad.Collection: Numbers
I`ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he`s real flashy.Collection: Real
On tour, you never have a home, you don`t get used to anything, and you`re always super busy.Collection: Home
I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I`m just going to fly them out and let them hang. It`s all good.Collection: Technology
My chops are still up, even though I`m not still in high school.Collection: School
It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.Collection: Rapper
I listen to everything from jazz to reggae to heavy metal and I kind of combine everything to make something differentCollection: Different
I've always loved playing in bands where there's like three or four people and we're all throwing out ideas and coming together to make an album.Collection: Ideas
Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.Collection: Rocks
Enema of the State song is kind of like a tattoo, like a moment in time, but it aged well. It's not like one that you're looking at like, "Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed." It's something we're proud of.Collection: Tattoo
My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all.Collection: Grateful
