People: Travis Barker Is NOT Dead
HE'S ALIVE! Despite all of the "is Travis Barker dead?" speculation we've seen buzzing around the Web today, we've just heard back from Dennis Dennehy of Interscope Records who in response to the reports of the drummer's demise said two small, but very important words: "Not true."
So there ya have it kiddos. Just when we were on our way to get 'Travis Forever' inked on the side of our head next to our mohawk tribute hairdo.

he didnt sell out, he just wanted to try something different.
he's one of the greatest drummers of the decade. why would you want someone to die, especially travis.
grow up
By JS , Posted November 16, 2007 11:17 PMoh my god, get over yourselves, he is an amazing drummer. and i agree with A.T. you never know, anyway, if you all hate him so much, then why do you care if he is dead or not? you're pathetic.
By Jedikaaaaaa , Posted November 16, 2007 11:58 PMIf he's not dead, what horrible person started that awful rumor? That's who REALLY sucks.
By Renee , Posted November 17, 2007 11:34 AMsure blink 182 sold out... that doesn't mean that travis barker isn't one of the most talented drummers ever. he kicks ass as a musician. those of you that wished he was dead just because you have nothing better to do than to hate on him, you are pathetic and are all going to hell. :)
By heathers , Posted November 17, 2007 3:07 PMI might not like any of the bands he is in, but Travis is an INCREDIBLE drummer. Just go find some footage of him.
By matt , Posted November 17, 2007 3:31 PMAND, I dont know if he still does, but before when he wasnt touring, he was giving drum lessons to kids. That is really cool.
this is for all u haters. get a life. if u hate travis so much then why do u care that he is alive like u and i???u haters are pathetic.
By Raquel , Posted November 18, 2007 11:07 AMThe people who are up there talking about how Travis Barker should be dead are seriously just saying that to sound all cool over the internet. If you didn't care if he was dead why would you be checking out the article? And no you can't use the excuse you were checking so you could plan your party. Travis Barker is the best drummer probably ever. Deal with it.
By Trey , Posted November 18, 2007 11:57 AMi agree wit raquel if you haterz didnt care you wouldnt have even looked at this site and you really need to get a life this is for travis: hey buddy your an awsome drummer and i hope you could some day come to ontario california and play for us out here!!! you rock dude drum on!!!
By Nickie , Posted November 18, 2007 2:23 PMI like him hes cool. i got sad when someone said that he died!! u should really never wish death 4 any 1 its just really harsh to do that!!! and those ppl how do have prob. never experienced any lost cuz if u have then u would never wish it on any 1!! u ppl r pathetic.
By Nada , Posted November 19, 2007 1:25 PMI'm sorry.
Travis Barker is a decent drummer, but the best ever?
Not even close.
Neil Peart of Rush blows just about ANYONE away. (You youngsters just google him.)
By Brojack , Posted November 19, 2007 3:17 PMI think it's very disrespectful to post such a rumor!! Think about it people, would you want someone to spread you are dead when you're really not!! Travis is very talented and is loved by many including his wife, children, friends, family and fans. Quit being haters!!
By Cassie , Posted November 19, 2007 3:21 PMthere REALLY is alot of sickos' out there. Who really has the time to spread such nasiness? Get it together you: Sicko!
By Cherie , Posted November 20, 2007 6:23 PMYeah, who has the time? It takes like 15 seconds to write an e-mail.
By (cutaia) , Posted November 24, 2007 9:20 PMWhy is that every musician who manages to make any money is called a sellout?
By Bill , Posted November 25, 2007 2:45 PM"The greatest drummer ever?" Uh, no.
Try Roger Taylor, Dave Grohl or Taylor Hawkins. Travis is not the greatest.
By Emma , Posted November 26, 2007 4:13 AMi dont like punk rock but i do know that it takes serious talent to be able to play the drums like travis, but why dont everyone thats arguing on this comment page SMOKA BLUNT!!!!!!!!
