Editing Travis Barker (section)

===Mainstream success (1999–2004)===
Barker's first album with Blink—''[[Enema of the State]]''—was released in June 1999 and catapulted the trio to stardom, becoming the biggest pop punk band of the era. Three singles were released from the record—"[[What's My Age Again?]]", "[[All the Small Things]]", and "[[Adam's Song]]"—that crossed over into Top 40 radio format and experienced major commercial success.<ref name=p96>Hoppus, 2001. p. 96</ref> "All the Small Things" became a number-one hit on the [[Modern Rock Tracks]] chart, but also became a [[crossover hit]] and peaked at number 6 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart. Its video parodied [[boy band]]s and pop music videos and won a Moon Man for Best Group Video at the [[2000 MTV Video Music Awards]].<ref name="rstruth">{{cite magazine|last=Edwards|first=Gavins|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/blink-182-the-half-naked-truth-87106/|title=The Half Naked Truth About Blink-182|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=August 3, 2000|access-date=November 17, 2021|archive-date=November 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117161137/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/blink-182-the-half-naked-truth-87106/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="boybands">{{cite web|title=Blink-182 Spoofs Boy Bands With New Video |work=MTV News |date=August 11, 1999 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1426201/blink-182-spoofs-boy-bands-with-new-video/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104195638/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1426201/blink-182-spoofs-boy-bands-with-new-video.jhtml |archive-date=November 4, 2012|access-date=November 17, 2021 }}</ref><ref name=p98>Hoppus, 2001. p. 98</ref> The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and had a considerable effect on pop punk music.<ref name="MTV influence">{{cite web|title=How Did Blink-182 Become So Influential? |author=James Montgomery |work=[[MTV News]] |date=February 9, 2009 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1604639/how-did-blink-182-become-so-influential/ |access-date=November 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025200846/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1604639/how-did-blink-182-become-so-influential.jhtml |archive-date=October 25, 2012 }}</ref><ref name="diehl">{{cite book |last=Diehl |first=Matt|title=My So-Called Punk: Green Day, Fall Out Boy, The Distillers, Bad Religion - How Neo-Punk Stage-Dived into the Mainstream|publisher=St. Martin's Griffin |date=April 17, 2007 |pages=75–76 |isbn=978-0312337810}}</ref>[[File:Drummer Travis Barker.jpg|thumb|upright|Barker performing in 2003]]
The band's success did great things for Barker. "Four years ago, I couldn't afford to feed myself," he said in an interview at the time. "But now I can buy art, work on old [[Cadillac]]s, and live in comfort. I can finally buy a dog and afford to feed him." He began dating Melissa Kennedy and purchased a rehearsal studio.<ref name="rstruth" /> Barker branched out into retail at this time, opening a store in Riverside called [[Famous Stars and Straps]]. The storefront was shut down by the city, but FSAS products began to be carried by other retailers and via the Internet.<ref name=p101>Hoppus, 2001. p. 101</ref> Barker also began offering drum lessons and added [[Guitar Center]] drum clinics to his list of activities.<ref name=p103>Hoppus, 2001. p. 103</ref> The band began its first arena tour in the fall of 1999,<ref name=p99>Hoppus, 2001. p. 99</ref> but Barker missed much of the 2000 [[The Mark, Tom and Travis Show Tour|Mark, Tom and Travis Show tour]] after he broke his finger.<ref name="rstruth" />

Blink-182's next effort, ''[[Take Off Your Pants and Jacket]]'' (2001), was greeted with immediate success, debuting at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 and going triple platinum within three weeks (the record eventually sold in excess of 14 million copies worldwide).<ref name=sdreader>{{cite journal|last=Leighton |first=Ken |date=September 14, 2011 |title=Naming Rights |journal=[[San Diego Reader]] |url=http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/sep/14/blurt1/ |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927074908/http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/sep/14/blurt1/ |archive-date=September 27, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2001, Barker married Melissa Kennedy, but the two divorced in August 2002 after nine months of marriage.<ref name="myspace">{{cite magazine |title = Barkers' Shanna 'Devastated' over Split |magazine = [[People (magazine)|People]] |date = August 10, 2006 |url = http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1225041,00.html |access-date = February 22, 2007 |archive-date = March 14, 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070314194021/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1225041,00.html |url-status = dead }}</ref> Following a cancelled European tour, DeLonge went back to San Diego to record an album he deemed an experiment in ideas he felt weren't suited to Blink-182.<ref name="totalguitar"/><ref name=shooman92>Shooman, 2010. p. 92</ref> DeLonge, not wanting to pay for a studio drummer, simply asked Barker to step in and perform on the record, called ''[[Box Car Racer (album)|Box Car Racer]]''.

{{Quote box
 |quote  = Word had got around that not only was Travis Barker an amazing drummer, [but that] he was also an amazing studio drummer which was a skill that a lot of drummers don't necessarily share. Travis had this reputation of being a guy who could sit down with a click track and no music and have the arrangement in his head and he could lay down the drum tracks in five, ten minutes for a song and then the band could play on top to him as if he was a drum machine.
