About this listen

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.

The story was great. Narration, not so much.

I liked the story. Travis has lived a wild ride and boy did he have a lot of sex. That's about half the content of the book. The hardest part to get through was the narrator. He wasn't right for the part and didn't have enough range to capture the story. It's always better when the author narrates when able... but they really should have hired a better actor.

Great story. Great narration.

Great story. Flies by. Narrator is perfect. Love how different family, band members and ex-wives contribute and write sections. Highly recommend if you like music/band books.

Wow

I probably would never had read this book if it hadn’t been included with my membership but glad I did. Super inspirational about following a passion, doing things your own way and just being who you are without a lot of pretension.

Deep

This was a deep look into his life. I enjoyed seeing the growth in full circle. He lived his life on his terms. I’m glad to know he is in a better page after the crash. If it’s one thing I took away from this book it’s to be true to self no matter what anyone thinks.
