Avril Lavigne Lights Up the Roxy With Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly: Concert Review
. Even Willow, with whom Lavigne and Barker collaborated last year on the singer’s angsty anthem “Grow,” was in the audience.
With a bottle of Veuve Clicquot in her hand, the 37-year-old Lavigne pointed out that she saw “lots of familiar faces” in the audience, and jokingly called them “Avril Band-Aids,” a reference to the devoted groupies of Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous.” While Lavigne held her bejeweled orange microphone center stage, all eyes were on the shirtless Barker as he demolished the drum kit and breathed new life into the concert with Lavigne’s 2007 pop masterpiece, “Girlfriend.” Even the lights seemed to forget whose show it was as they directed the spotlight to the Blink-182 drummer, with Lavigne momentarily in the dark before the lights returned and orange and black confetti exploded from the front of the stage.
“It’s an honor to be on this album,” Kelly said after their performance concluded. “I think we all grew up on you, Avril.” He then joked that he was still learning the song’s “confusing” lyrics, adding, “By the third time I perform it I’ll have it, for sure.”
