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.

Who is talking!
It’s a great biography, I really enjoyed it. However the listening experience was awful, it’s nearly impossible to follow who is talking and when and a lot of the time you’re guessing. The narration doesn’t make it clear when it switches back to Travis. You hear from a LOT of people throughout the book and it’s hard to know who you’re hearing in audio format.

Good book; hard listen
while I enjoyed the book, like many others, I found it to be a difficult listen. The narrator is fine, his voice is nice etc... but the style set to the narration was hard to follow. there are different people telling the story as the book goes on, but the voice stays the same. sometimes, the narrator tries to change his voice along the way when speaking as a woman, but it's still hard to follow. Also, the audio acoustics at times changes, almost like they went in and did a voice over for a line or two everyone in a while and it just soubds different like a slight echo or something.
Still worth a listen for the story. You just really have to pay attention.

Better if Travis narrated it!
Only complaint is that it wasn’t read by Travis ; that would have been amazing. It just doesn’t land right with this narrator.

Interesting Story
I really liked the book overall but I was not a fan of the narrator. Eventually you get used to it. Definitely worth listening to, Travis Barker is such a likable guy.

Very interesting, positive outlook on life lessons in overcoming the ups and downs of life.
Sometimes it was hard to decipher between the character changes but otherwise really interesting, and wasn’t bored.

Good book, bad narration
It was a good book but it was a bad narrator choice. Felt it wasn't suited for the style of book and for the subject. A different narrator would have made this book a much better listen!

Terrible Narration
Excellent Memoir. Horrendous Narration.
Narrator does not flow well with the story at all. Big let down that Travis did not narrate the book himself. Would have been awesome.

Great book from one of my favourite artists.
I would have preferred a different narrator. Everything was clear and concise but I would have liked to hear the story from someone who was involved with the music industry or knew Travis personally.
