Scott Raynor
From Free net encyclopedia
Scott Raynor (born May 23, 1978) was the drummer for blink-182, until he was replaced by Travis Barker after the Dude Ranch album. He was an avid Metallica fan in his youth. He became a drummer when he joined his first band with some friends because they called all the "good instruments" before Scott could choose.
Asked about his expulsion from blink-182 in an interview[1], Scott said the following:
After that there were some reports that Scott Raynor was shot dead in 2003, following a dispute with his new band Grimbly. This turned out to be a hoax. He said on his message board that he is alive, but a homeless urchin from San Diego was apparently killed in incidents linked to the rumor.Template:Fact
Alternative sources claim Scott Raynor's departure from Blink 182 had nothing to do with his drinking habits. A fan web page (http://www.atomik.free.fr/blink182/english/blnkscot.htm) claims Scott left the band in pursuit of his college degree.
Albums with blink-182:
- Flyswatter (1992)
- Buddha (1993)
- Cheshire Cat (1994)
- Dude Ranch (1997)
Some suggested the lyrics of the song "Man Overboard" off the live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back were directed at Scott, but Mark denied this rumor when he guest presented Loveline.
