Can I Say

Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums

By: Travis Barker, Gavin Edwards - contributor

Narrated by: Cary Hite

The fascinating never-before-told-in-full story of personal reinvention grounded in musical salvation and fatherhood.

Travis Barker's soul-baring memoir chronicles the highlights and lowlights of the renowned drummer's art and his life, including the harrowing plane crash that nearly killed him and his traumatic road to recovery. After breaking out as the acclaimed drummer of the multiplatinum punk band Blink-182, everything changed for Travis Barker. But the dark side of rock stardom took its toll: His marriage, chronicled for an MTV reality show, fell apart. Constant touring concealed a serious drug addiction. A reckoning did not truly come until he was forced to face mortality: His life nearly ended in a horrifying plane crash, and then his close friend, collaborator, and fellow crash survivor, DJ AM, died of an overdose.

In this blunt, driving memoir, Barker ruminates on rock stardom, fatherhood, death, loss, and redemption, sharing stories shaped by decades' worth of hard-earned insights. His pulsating memoir is as energetic as his acclaimed beats. It brings to a close the first chapters of a well-lived life, inspiring listeners to follow the rhythms of their own hearts and find meaning in their lives.

Made Me Fell Like I Know Him

This book completely gave me an insight into TB. What excites him, his fears, his passions; I feel like we saw it all. It is truly going behind the curtain of someone you have only heard about. What I loved most was his commitment and love for his children. He is truly a tender guy.

I wish it was read by him- the narrator did not fit the persona for me.

10/10 stories

The story and honestly

The story is very raw and honest, narrator is a bit dull or the story

great book.

Travis has lead a very interesting life. You dont have to be a musician or a Blink 182 fan to enjoy this. Great listen from beginning to end.

SO GOOD!

I loved this so much! I actually want the book to annotate some beautiful thoughts that Travis shares.
