Product Information

Barker's first marriage, to Melissa Kennedy, lasted nine months until he filed for divorce in August 2002. Our little duo of drummer and DJ [had] reached heights we never thought were possible," said Barker in a 2011 interview. Barker has written a memoir entitled Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums, which was released on October 20, 2015. After graduating from Fontana High School, Barker worked as a trash man in Laguna Beach and played with the punk rock band Snot and Feeble, a Fontana-based band where he met Chad Larson. The next month, on March 15, 2021, Barker was a featured artist in the Atreyu song "Warrior" on the album "Baptize.

Barker told CBS Local that his first ever hero was Animal from The Muppets, crediting the character as his inspiration to pursue drumming. Barker employed a variety of styles including military and jazz rhythms, but was attracted to the driving rhythms of hip-hop and punk rock. They were the only survivors of the crash; personal assistant Chris Baker and Che Still, along with the two pilots, died in the crash. Raynor was fired by DeLonge and Hoppus, ostensibly over a drinking problem, [14] and the band recruited Barker once more.

The pilots told the control tower that a tire had blown out and they would be aborting the take-off. Its video parodied boy bands and pop music videos and won a Moon Man for Best Group Video at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Weidenhofer recorded the meeting and released it later as a TikTok video, which has received more than 17 million views as of July 2023.

Barker's speed and accuracy meant that once his parts were recorded, he was free to head off and rehearse (and sit in with other bands). After he and Moakler split up in 2006, he was frequently spotted at nightclubs—and photographed necking with Paris Hilton. He has worked with the new pop-punk era Willow Smith and TikTok e-boy turned singer Lil Huddy, signed TikTok emo Jxdn, produced Trippie Redd’s Neon Shark album, and drummed on Bebe Rexha’s new single.The Kinison, who supported Blink-182 on their tour dates, impressed Barker and were the first group signed to LaSalle Records, a record label Barker officially set up in 2004.

William Morrow and Company released an initial hardcover printing of 100,000 copies on October 20, 2015. and an airplane maintenance company that month; the case was settled out of court in December 2009 and the terms of the settlement are confidential. Barker didn't fly again until 2021, traveling by himself on his bus—and taking a boat when touring in Europe.

In June 2016, it was reported that Barker and Moakler were amicably co-parenting their two children.

Barker, who did not have time to prepare or practice with the duo, learned the drum tracks for the 20-song setlist in only 45 minutes before the first show and performed them flawlessly thereafter. The band began its first arena tour in the fall of 1999, [25] but Barker missed much of the 2000 Mark, Tom and Travis Show tour after he broke his finger. As well as Run the Jewels, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Yelawolf and the late XXXTentacion, he has drummed for Pink, Britney Spears and James Arthur.
