Video: blink-182’s Travis Barker Rocks a Napalm Death Shirt While Drumming to Adele’s “Easy On Me”

Though blink-182 would never be called a metal band, they are inherently tied to metal — or maybe metal’s tied to them? — because of how much they’ve promoted living, breathing, and dying for rock music. This is especially true of drummer Travis Barker, whose cyclone of tattoos and dedication to making cool rock and roll feels at home with metal’s general attitude of fun-loving miscreancy. So it’s awesome but unsurprising to see him rocking a Napalm Death shirt while drumming along to Adele’s “Easy On Me.”

As you’ll see in the video from Barker’s Instagram, Travis is adding a crash-heavy drum track to Adele’s recent smash single “Easy On Me.” But the attempts to “make this a rock song” that everyone seems to be talking about come second to the awesome Utopia Banished-era Napalm Death shirt that Travis is wearing in the footage. Not only is it a Napalm Death shirt, it’s, wait for it, a Napalm Death longsleeve, meaning he’s really trying to channel his inner kid-who-couldn’t-get-laid-in-the-’90s.

Check out the video below and mumble either, “Cool!” or “Poser” at your leisure:
