If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.

More quotes by Travis Barker
I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.
Travis Barker
I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.
Travis Barker
I`ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he`s real flashy.
Travis Barker
I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.
Travis Barker
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.
Travis Barker
I think punk, pop-punk, and rock music is all meshed together and I think good music is good music.
Travis Barker
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.
Travis Barker
On tour, you never have a home, you don`t get used to anything, and you`re always super busy.
Travis Barker
But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can.
Travis Barker
I want to beat the world record for the number of beats per second on a drum pad.
Travis Barker
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.
Travis Barker
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
Travis Barker
In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
Travis Barker
I run every day now. I never ran before.
Travis Barker
Oh, I was super serious about practicing and rudiments, and still am. I still have all my books.
Travis Barker
And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.
Travis Barker
I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.
Travis Barker
I looked Death right in the face.
Travis Barker
Take care of your colon and your colon will take care of you.
Travis Barker
Once in a while, I'll slip and get off my vegan diet and have egg whites in the morning, that's a good source of protein while I'm out on the road. If I can feel my body starting to tire, those are good to keep you healthy.
