Los Angeles, July 6 (IANS) Musician Travis Barker, best known as the drummer for the band Blink-182, says before playing music he prepares himself like he is going for a fight.
“It’s like you’re getting ready for a fight. I lock myself in my room, warm myself up for an hour and go out there and do the damn thing. I always play like I could die out there and give it my all. And there’s only three of us up there – it’s an awesome feeling,” Barker told RedBulletin magazine.
Travis plays with his fellow band members Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus.
The 36-year-old enjoyed his last European trip and added that such festivals do not happen in the US.
“I really enjoyed our last trip to Europe. It was crazy playing for 200,000 people. It’s insane. You don’t have festivals like that in the US. Rock is alive and kicking ass in Europe. It’s bigger than ever. It’s like the ocean you can see people for days,” he said.
