  10. 10

    …Perez are you now picturing how he would be in bed? With those gymnastics and uhm…"Close To You"!



  11. 11

    And Tommy Lee did it before Joey AND Travis so they stole it directly from him.



  12. 12

    Pretty cool



  13. 13

    ummmmmmm so?



  14. 14

    Seriously? Never seen this before? Hear of Tommy Lee? Yeah hi. Search YouTube for Tommy Lee drum solos. He has flipped upside down and every other direction WAY back in the day. Travis is good…but dude, it's all about Tommy Lee.



  15. 15

    Travis stole it from Joey and he stole it from tommy!



  16. 16

    thats ok jonas does better
    jonas♥love ya nick



  17. 17

    this is another reason why i love Travis!



  18. 18

    Tommy Lee…



  19. 19

    Re: spliffsta
    And Tommy Lee did it way before that slipknot fool. And he was upside down too.



  20. 20

    This is so badass. Who cares about Tommy Lee, isn't he like 60 years old?



  21. 21

    Tommy lee used to roll the whole thing while playing



  22. 22

    Yawn! Tommy Lee did this twenty something years ago.



  23. 23

    thats old….



  24. 24

    Re: hellishposse – Tommy's 47 and he did before these two were born IT WAS BAD ASS THEN ITS BEEN DONE TODAY..



  25. 25

    Sick.



  26. 26

    Big deal. Tommy Lee did more in 1987! See youtube.



  27. 27

    OMG I LOVE TRAVIS BARKER! HE IS SOOO AMAZING! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! MAN WAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT HIM?!!!!?!!!!?!!! SEXY SEXY SEXY!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!



  28. 28

    Tommy Lee pulled this stunt in the 80's!!!



  29. 29

    If you would get your head out of Madonna's ass or Whitney Houston's or Lady Gaga's and go see some rock concerts, you would find that Motley Crue has been doing this for years. Kiss does something similar as well Spongeboobs.



  30. 30

    I think Perez was being sarcastic by saying "we've never seen that done before"



  31. 31

    Fucking Tommy lee you dumbass



  32. 32

    WOWWWWWWW



  33. 33

    Um, yea… Tommy Lee invented that shit… yes people, he used to be known for being a rad drummer before he was known for his huge package & having sex with Pam on a boat…



  34. 34

    WHO HASNT DONE THAT?



  35. 35

    Tommy Lee- period.



  36. 36

    I saw him doing flips back in 2002 while on tour with green day… not new and not original…



  37. 37

    big fucking deal. what's he want a dollar



  38. 38

    Oh Perez…you are showing your immaturity (and prove it by drooling for boys that are too young for you). This was done by Tommy Lee long time ago.



  39. 39

    oh my god, travis also did a flipping spinning drum solo, the point is this is a new setup and a new way to do things. get over yourselves people, tommy lee IS NOT RELEVANT TODAY. with whawt travis has been through, you should be applauding the fact he can even get in that thing.



  40. 40

    tommy lee has been doing this for YEARS with motley crue



  41. 41

    Yeah he stole slipknots drum stand.



  42. 42

    tommy lee from motley crue does that too PEREZZZ



  43. 43

    I'm so glad other people know about Slipknot and Tommy Lee, because clearly Travis Barker is NOT the first.



  44. 44

    Tommy Lee did that before Travis did. He did it upside down too.



  45. 45

    ohmygod, that shit is CRAZY! i love him! (:



  46. 46

    mmh mmmh good! luv me sum tavis!!!!!!!!!!



  47. 47

    Re: Sha nay nay – Perez wouldn't know sarcasm if it bit him in the ass.



  48. 48

    Uhhh Slipknot does this EVERY TIME, and better.. they go straight vertical and then spin



  49. 49

    … oh… yaa…. badass….. ?



  50. 50

    It still looks totally insane, and is, no matter who's done it



  51. 51

    Are you a total idiot Perez?

    Tommy Lee was busting this move back in the 80s
    and he even did it better.

    dude. RESEARCH your shit. for realz.



  52. 52

    Still pretty cool.



  53. 53

    Actually Pam Andersons ex - tommy lee did something like this during the doctor feel good tour - it was even more sick if i recall…

  54. BBJ says – reply to this


    54

    Tommy Lee was the first…man I feel old. Like Travis is doing somrhting new or something.



  55. 55

    Travis is a-may-zing!!! OMG get over Tommy Lee he is creepy!



  56. 56

    you've heard of a little band called MOTLEY CRUE right Perez? They have a somewhat infamous drummer NAMED TOMMY LEE….. YOU ARE SO FUCKING STUPID IT AMAZES ME. HIRE a research team or pay your dumb ugly sister more money to fact check fuck face



  57. 57



  58. 58

    perez this is a rip off of tommy lee and neil pert ( from rush)



  59. 59

    Newsboys has done it for years………



  60. 60

    perez you are fucking LAME!



  61. 61

    LOVE Travis Barker!



  62. 62

    Tommy Lee did a tumbling drum set in the mid 80s.. spun him all the way around so he was even playing upside down



  63. 63

    Say what you want about Tommy Lee, but he's one bad mf'er on the drums and deserves a shit-ton more credit than he ever gets for influencing other rock drummers for over 25 years.



  64. 64

    Joey Jordison, Tommy Lee and even Peter Criss all have a few years on him. But I guess they don't make for good gossip.



  65. 65

    LOL…Perez you show your age when you make comments like that. You say you know music but what you should say is that you know "current music" your backcatalogue goes to Pet Shop Boys and maybe U2 but you know nothing of the fantastic musicians of the 70s and even before that.
    As mentioned here…Tommy Lee did that upside down years ago. Travis is a great drummer so not to take away from him…but you need to face the fact that just because someone is giving you your own label, is the same thing as Lindsay Lohan getting her own legging line.
    Here today….gone tomorrow.



  66. 66

    Neal Pert from Rush.

  67. Viola says – reply to this


    67

    That's been done so many times so long ago by much better drummers.



  68. 68

    That's freakin' awesome!! Not good for epileptics though:)



  69. 69

    he's no bad ass, slipknot's drummer is who does it way better btw



  70. 70

    TOMMY LEE DID IT BEFORE ANYONE DID



  71. 71

    kudos to the guys who rocked this before travis..

    im pretty sure i remember him doing this at a blink 182 concert some 6 or 7 years back..



  72. 72

    FUCKN LAME! Tommy Lee went upside down in the 80z.

    BOOOOO PEREZ!!!!!



  73. 73

    Fat boy, wake the fuck up. Kiss started it with the rising drum riser, then Tommy Lee took it to a new level tilting and going upside down…the drummer from slipknot has been doing it for a while, so although cool, it's nothing new.



  74. 74

    apparently you've never been to a blink182 concert before, bc he's done that many times!



  75. 75

    oh……..wow……..thats ?? cool, cause we all know only a hand full of people in the world can play the drums?



  76. 76

    Tommy Lee did this a long ass time ago, even before Slipknot. Travis still rocked it!



  77. 77

    have ya fuckin' heard of RUSH!?!?!?!?!?!? (or joey from slipknot, OR tommy lee…) i'm really at a loss regarding how you are at all qualified to run a celebrity entertainment site, when you clearly don't know shit about pop culture.



  78. 78

    tommy lee did something like that first, but better



  79. 79

    travis is shit campared with tommy lee



  80. 80

    You're way off Perez…
    Tommy Lee was in a rotating Drum Kit for the Crue back in the 80's. Now he has Platforms hanging from the rafters that he'll swing to back and forth on a bungee chord.



  81. 81

    Dope shit Travis



  82. 82

    Travis did this exact same thing in 2002 for the Pop Disaster tour when they played with Greenday and Jimmy Eat World.

    It's old, but still way cool.

  83. Emz says – reply to this


    83

    I didn't know Tommy Lee did it before, or the Slipknot guy, but it's still awesome whoever does it. Nothing's original anymore anyway, it's not like he said he was the first to do it!
    Tommy Lee is hot though :) :):):)



  84. 84

    Bwaaa-ha-ha-ha. Can you be any more clueless, Perez? And you fancy yourself an A&R person… I can't believe you got a label deal.



  85. 85

    sorry to disappoint you ALL, but buddy rich invented this in like 1965 or so, i believe.
    have a look at drummersworld.com



  86. 86

    yeah i know our boss is HELLA DOPE DOING IT SINCE 4 YRS OLD SHAUUUUUU!!!!!



  87. 87

    He did this EIGHT YEARS AGO when I saw him in concert. And btw, VirginFree Fest SUCKS BALLS this year…they should call it Emo Slit-Your-Wrist Fest.



  88. 88

    Travis you are the best



  89. 89

    YOU ARE AMAZING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK



  90. 90

    This is pretty badass, but RUSH did this before Travis Barker and Tommy Lee.



  91. 91

    You killed it again man cant wait to see this on tour



  92. 92

    100% Bad Ass



  93. 93

    joey jordison > travis



  94. 94

    95

    Nickelbacks drummer did the same in April, in Saskatoon, SK.

  96. trace says – reply to this


    96

    didn't tommy lee do stunts like that? so thought he'd never fly again. that could be considered flying



  97. 97

    Let's be real, like a couple others have said, Tommy Lee did this over 20 years ago. Back when Barker and the Slipknot were listening to music from Barney.



  98. 98

    TOMMY LEE DID IT IN THE 80'S WHEN HE WAS IN MOTLEY CRUE…Not original, and what kind of god awful music is that? Rap? Rock? Trance?



  99. 99

    i dnt really care if tommy lee did that before but that was AWESOME!
    lol



  100. 100

    Tommy Lee.
