I do like to watch Travis Barker drum -- he is very talented.
But that is the only + for Blink 182. All other factors point to Green Day as the better band and better show. |

Money willing, I have a wedding coming up. One thing I always loved about the GD concerts is they'll pull up 3 people from the crowd and "make a band". They'll put the 3 people on the instruments and quickly teach them whatever part of the song they are on. Then they usually GIVE the instruments to the people at the end of the song.
Great shows! |

But, in my opinion, Barker is the better drummer. Did not appeciate it that much the first few times I saw him. Then I saw him at the Buck Owens tribute concert and he was completely at home playing country and rockabilly. After that, I paid attention to his fills and feet. Gotta say, that guy has much more going for him than what he shows in Blink. Just a really solid drummer. |

Barker is a solid drummer. |

...and sorry but Travis Barker is not a great drummer. |

How can you not like Dream Theater!
What about "punk" though? What's your oppinion of a great "punk" drummer? If I knew we were comparing apples to oranges I would have thrown in John Bonham and Carter Beauford in there too! |

|  | The Lowdown Diggler | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Huntington Beach, CA | | | I've seen both. I was not impressed with Blink 182. Green Day however put on an amazing show. Tight and together. The first time I saw Green Day was at our school pub and there was only about 30 people there. It was a lot of fun. Then they became huge and I kind of wrote them off. A buddy of mine had an extra ticket during the American Idiot tour and asked if I wanted to come along. I didn't have one of their albums or anything. I was totally impressed. |
