Box Car Racer

[Keyblade]

Box Car Racer was a side-project (it is insisted by Tom Delonge that it was never a "band" but rather a project) created by Tom DeLonge of blink-182. While blink took a break in 2002, DeLonge formed Box Car Racer to experiment with and record ideas he felt were not "blink friendly". DeLonge soon enlisted Travis Barker, stating that the reason he asked Barker to drum on the album was because he didn't want to pay for a studio drummer.

Great band... Anyone else like them? What's you're favourite Box Car song?

[Kryptonite Spear]

LOVE This Band... It Would Be Cool If They Could Make Another Album, But I Doubt Barker Would Be Up For It, Considering All The Other Things He's Doing... I LOVE There Is!

[Keyblade]

Yeah, I hope they make another even if they replace Travis (Maybe with Atom from AVA?).

[Kryptonite Spear]

Maybe, But The Hardcore Fans (I'm Not EXACTLY Hardcore) Would Lash Out If Travis Wasn't In The Band...

[Keyblade]

Eh, bands change, like with Blink. Travis wasn't blink's orignal drummer.

[Kryptonite Spear]

Yeah, But He Added On To Blink... Travis Is An EXCEPTIONAL Drummer... A Lot Of DIE HARD Travis Fans Out There...

[Keyblade]

True... he is a good drummer. I know alot of better drummers than Travis though.

[Kryptonite Spear]

I Think He's A Weird Dude... What I'm Wondering Is Why He's All Into This Hip-Hop Stuff... The Phenomenons And Expensive Taste... He's White!!! Soon, He'll Be Nothing More Than A Vanilla Ice Clone :lol:

[Keyblade]

:rotfl: ... I think it's just because the best drummers are mad as hatters, look at Keith Moon and Tommy Lee

[Kryptonite Spear]

Yeah, But They're Not All Hip-Hop... Why Travis Is Trying To Be Something He's Not Is Beyond Me...

[Keyblade]

Oh yeah, deffinately. I still have checked out his other bands apart from the aquabats (I think Travis was in that).

[Kryptonite Spear]

Yup... I Listened To Some Of The Aquabats Songs I Have (FINALLY), And I Realized One Thing... I HATE The Aquabats... :lol:

[Keyblade]

:rotfl: I like them, they are wierd but good.

[Kryptonite Spear]

They're Too Ska For My Taste...

[Keyblade]

I didn't really think they were skaish... they semeed to remind me of the bloodhound gang.

[Kryptonite Spear]

Traivs Should Just Stick With Punk... That's What He's Best At...

[Keyblade]

Yeah... I agree.

[Kryptonite Spear]

Tom Said Himself, BCR Will NEVER Re-Join... I Used To Stop By The BCR Forums (If You Can Call it That), And the People There Are STILL HOPEFUL For A BCR Re-Union...

[Keyblade]

I am still hoping for them to rejoin... it's not like Travis pulled a gun on Tom and said you must stay with blink or i'll kill your family.

[Kryptonite Spear]

Nope, That Would Be Mark... :rotfl:

[Keyblade]

He... uhh... WHAT??

[Kryptonite Spear]

:lol:

J/K

Mark Was The Main one Responsible For The Break-Up... In His podcast, He Said That Lillian Is Gonna Kick A Million Asses...

[Keyblade]

Oh... :lol:

and tom said angels and airwaves will change the way people listen to music (or something like that)... it didn't happen though :rolleyes:

[Kryptonite Spear]

It Was Gonna Change The World... And It Did... What he Meant Was That If He Changed Just ONE Person, And Made Them Feel Different, Then What He Set Out To Do, Was A Success... And I KNOW It Changed Me...

[Keyblade]

Oh... Okay. Damn, that's totally ruined my argument :lol:

[Kryptonite Spear]

:rotfl:

He Had Said That In Some Interview... He Said If Just ONE Person Will Go About Things More Positive After Hearing My Music, Then i Think i Succeeded...

[Keyblade]

Well then he did, and good on him.
