Johnny Cupcakes Sneak Peak
Gym Class Heroes - 24.9.2008
On Wednesday I was at the Berlin show of the Gym Class Heroes.It was great to see Travis live because he has a great stage presence.The setlist was crazy.The only thing that sucked was that they didn't play "New Friend Request".What I liked was that Travis gave a shout out to Travis Barker,DJ AM and Lil'Chris who seem to be good friends of him since he mentioned that when he talked about their plane crash.I don't know if he actually did that because I was standing in the second row rocking my Famous Stars and Straps New Era hat.Another funny thing is how everyone I met this evening was like "Ohhh Johnny Cupcakes ... nice shirt".And of course meeting Travis Mc Coy was pretty rad.Here are some of my pictures from the show.

Update on Travis and Adam
Full Recovery Expected for Barker and DJ AM
A doctor has announced that Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to have a full recovery after yesterday's horrific plane crash.
Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were severely burned yesterday when their Learjet crashed before takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina airport. The crash killed four people, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.
Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, said both Travis and Adam suffered second and third-degree burns. Mullins said Barker's torso and Adam's hands and part of his head were burned.
Tragic news
Life is a fragile thing!
What's hard about this is that I met Chris back in '06 at the +44 show in Berlin.He walked around putting up FSAS stickers.When two of my friends helped him with a big one he promised us to get Travis to come outside of the venue while the opening act plays.That kinda didn't work out but right when +44 came on stage he was searching for us and gave us drumsticks and other stuff.Basically it seemed like Lil' Chris was a super nice guy and he didn't deserve that.RIP.

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein, known as celebrity DJ AM, were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four Southern Californians, including Barker's bodyguard and his personal assistant, authorities said.
The pilot, Sarah Lemmon of Anaheim Hills, and copilot, James Bland of Carlsbad, were also killed, according to the Lexington County coroner.
The Learjet was taking off shortly before midnight Friday with six people aboard when air traffic controllers saw sparks. The plane, which was en route to Van Nuys airport, veered off the end of the runway, through a grassy area and a perimeter fence, slammed into a berm and became engulfed in a "significant fire," said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen.
Barker and Goldstein were in critical but stable condition this afternoon at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of the crash site in Columbia, S.C., said hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits. She declined to comment on their injuries.
Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles -- both members of Baker's entourage -- were among the dead.
According to music industry sources, Charles "Che" Still was a longtime friend of Barker's and sometimes worked as a bodyguard when the star drummer performed in small shows. Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night.
Baker, nicknamed "Little Chris," worked as a personal assistant to Barker and had appeared sometimes on MTV's "Meet the Barkers" the domestic-life reality show that aired in 2005 and 2006.
Michael Creger, a friend of Still, said the bodyguard's family was reeling from the news. They were upset, too, that early media reports of the accident focused on the injured Barker instead of the dead passengers. Still's family had thought the group in South Carolina would be returning home on a commercial flight, but travel plans apparently had changed.
The athletic Still was "a gentle giant" who aspired to be a professional athlete and had been working part time for Barker, Creger said. He was a "huge music fan" who, with his tattoos and stature, was an imposing figure to strangers. His friends, however, knew him as "a loving guy, the kind of guy would do anything for anybody," Creger said.
"His mother in Riverside is just devastated by this because Che's dad died not long ago also," Creger said.
At the crash site today, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway, across a five-lane road next to the airport and up an embankment. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane.
An investigative team from the National Transportation Safety Board has been dispatched to South Carolina.
"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.
The plane is owned by Global Exec Aviation, a Long Beach-based charter company, and was certified to operate last year, an NTSB official said.
Mark Shater, spokesman for the charter company, declined to comment on the crash or the pilots. He said the company is sending a management team to South Carolina to cooperate with the FAA and the NTSB.

October 1st
Hmmm even though I'm not the biggest fan of the current website I hope that they only change the shop or the concept of the site but I hope the media section will have it's place on the new Famous Stars And Straps website because I like the fresh videos they upload from time to time.
I'm excited to see what they come up with ....

+44 finally recording a new record?
Mark Hoppus posted two new things on his blog.The first one is a picture and the blog entry is "studio recording".
And secondly he posted a video of him recording a guitar(!) riff.He doesn't mention if it's just for another record he's producing or whatever i guess he knows that everyone would assume that it is for the new +44 record.I was surprised to see him play guitar in the studio.I've never seen him play guitar except for fun when he changed the instruments with Tom at some Blink 182 show.But I wonder where Travis,Craig and Shane are.Anyways I'm so stoked to see that finally +44 seem to start recording.I love this band so much.Here's what Mark wrote on his blog and the video.Oh and by the way I think the guitar is dope.

Check out what happened at one of their gigs in Canada.
Liam & Noel Gallagher were performing at the Virgin Festival in Toronto this past weekend when things went horribly wrong!
Some drunken fool somehow managed to get on the stage and attempt to tackle both Brits.
Well, they weren't having any of that and were in a fighting mood! Madness ensured.
Thankfully, though, after the bust-up onstage, the boys took a 10 minute break and came back out to finish their set.
Check out video a of the incident below!
THEY DESERVE IT!
