Travis Barker Back In Action, Still Shirtless

You've got to hand it to Travis Barker. He'll always give you the shirt off his back. Even when he's been horribly scarred by first-degree burns after nearly dying in a plane crash that claimed several other victims.

Just last night, the former Blink-182 stickman was back behind the kit, coupled with his partner-in-peril, and music, DJ AM on the ones and tizoos. And per his norm, was performing sans shirt, his giant "HOPE" tattoo peeking out somewhat more profoundly from his lower back.

That sounded weirdly erotic. Anyway, all easy jabs at the combo's musical leanings aside, it's hard not to tip your cap to their courage for moving forward with their music after such a devastating incident. Now if only they'd play something worth getting fired up about.

OK, that was fucked up.
