@blink182tv: On this day 25 years ago, blink-182 was filming the music video for ‘Stay Together For The Kids’ when the 9/11 tragedy occurred.💔 Travis tells what happened in his book: It was time to make a video for ‘Stay Together For The Kids’. The label gave us a million-dolar budget. It was a huge production, with cops blocking off a street in Orange County. The concept of the video was that we were playing inside this house while it was being destroyed. A wrecking ball was hitting the house, and everything was falling to pieces. The idea was that it would look the same way that kids feel in the middle of a divorce-like mass destruction. The only hang-up: the day we were shooting was September 11, 2001 We were in the middle of shooting when we found out that there was a terrorist attack. Two planes had hit the World Trade Center and thousands of people were dead. We didn’t know what to do, so we finished shooting the video. It was a really messed-up day. Once it was done, MTV wanted to see the footage, which looked way too much like all the painful things that happened in New York. There were pieces of houses falling and kids crying. MTV told us that it was in bad taste and they’d never play it. We had to make a special version without the wrecking ball, and without the house being destroyed. -Travis Barker: Can I Say ‘Living Large, Cheating Death, And Drums, Drums, Drums. 📖✍🏻 📆 Sep /11/ 2001📍New York 🇺🇸 • • • #blink182 #punk #rock #skate #911
