Travis Barker American Musician Quotations

We just wanted to write a bunch of songs that we thought were good songs.

Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years.

We all write the music, and then Mark and Tom write the lyrics.

We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour.

We all liked the Descendants and stuff like that, so we started playing it. It's not that it was really hard, well, it does take skill to play fast and keep up your stamina. But it was something that just happened.

We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.

We didn't hold ourselves to a standard that said we needed a certain type of song because that's the type we had on the last album.
