Fix Your Face mixtapeb,121b,121"With two turntables and a full drum kit, drummer impresario TRAVIS BARKER and world class DJ AM expose music enthusiasts to a threatening new performance style. While captivating audiences at every show, AM and TRAVIS combine anything from hip-hop to rock to 80???s tunes. NO genre goes untouched. b,121b,121If you tuned into the Super Bowl, you caught the two of them putting their spin on the NFL theme on Fox. If you attended any of the three sold out shows at the legendary Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, you witnessed one of the most innovative live music events to hit the strip in years. From playing the biggest New Year???s Eve party in Miami, to special appearances at Crobar in Chicago, to KROQ???s Inland Invasion, the duo shows nothing but grand displays of ability. b,121b,121???I wanted to do something that I hadn???t seen done either, like a full kit and a DJ ??? it was just a different approach, something fresh,??? says Travis Barker. b,121b,121???The music takes a direction of it???s own,??? says AM. "We literally look at tempos or a few key songs we want to play, and that???s like the skeleton, and then we kind of dress it up with all kinds of clothes and a hat and the next thing you know it???s a whole crazy creature."

    No one is forcing you to download it and listen to it....dammmnnnnn! Your hating hard just cus I posted up a free link to a mixtape??? WTF? I understand if you dont sig it, but why not just ignor my post then? And I bet you porbably havent even heard it, just seen the ppl involved and started dissing.... b,121b,121I downloaded it cus I want to see what the concept would sound like, and the tunes they chose to Fusk with. If its shit, it goes to the trash, but if its good I have just expanded my music knowledge a slight bit more...which is why i come here....b,121b,121you gots to chill....... b,121b,121Just listening to it now...its not bad, very scratch heavy, lots of blends and changes. Not the best track selection though....and drums need a bit more bass to them, but Trav fuckes with the patterns a fairbit.

    You were actually serious about that???b,121b,121If you like it that's your deal. To each his own. However I found that extremely mediocre, not to mention tha fact that it's already been done way better by Cut Chemist and others.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I think the main diss is that Travis acts like this is an original idea. Yea, and Slipnot is a Rap group. b,121b,121I've DJ's with drummers on several occasions and I've been to parties where it's being done. Oh yea and I think there was a band called Stetsasonic once.

    Fair enough mate, I dont 'ride' for Travis, was more interested in the DJ AM side of things. Why not upload one of your dj/drummer jam sessions? Thats all im saying, the shit is FREE to download, so why not check it out at least.b,121And if aint your cup of tea, sweet no need to go off at me for placing the link methinks... I dont have a go at everyone that posts shit im not into (although I try to check it out first before I diss anything)...b,121b,121and um yeah I heard of Stetsasonic (DBC was the drummer right?)...you ever heard of Pumpkin? :-P

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Because it was such a common occurance we didn't bother to record it.

    My friend is a drummer and when he was in middle school ~10 years ago he met Travis Barker at a Warped Tour gig and asked him what advice he would give to a young drummer. Barker told him to listen to the Meters. b,121b,121It's sad that a drummer who understands how great Zigaboo is could turn out to be such a tool.b,121b,121By the way, I haven't checked out the mixtape yet, but I assume it's lame.

    Francois K and Walter Gibbons were doing this in the mid 70's.

    corny. he's just playing drums over other drummers. and AM was fakin his quick mixing cause you could tell he was just using a queue point. it sounds like those old ass pre-mix records where they just put a string of songs over a drum machine beat for 20 minutes.

    For sure drummers and DJs have been working together for ages, but I'm not Mad at Adam for doing his thing and having some fun. Shit, he's one of the best DJs in the world (cue "DJ AM" thread) so Fusk it.

    You dudes are too cynical. Sure it's been done before , but they way Barker and AM are doing it is pure fire. They know how to rock parties. b,121b,121Oh by the way, Barker is top 3 rock drummers right now imo.
