Hoobastank Trivia Questions
1. What place in California is considered the "birthplace" of the band?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Agoura Hills

The band was "born" in Agoura Hills, California in 1994. At first, there was only Doug Robb-(lead singer), and Dan Estrin-(lead guitarist). They met at a high-school battle of the bands competition, and later, after adding Chris Hesse-(drummer), and Markku Lappalainen-(bass), Hoobastank was born.

2. Which great Hoobastank song contains this lyric? "'Cause lately I've been thinking maybe that no one's going to save me."

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: Never There

"Never There" is a song that deals with a person's strong need for someone special, but that person is never there (hence the title of the song). Hoobastank first formed in 1994 in Los Angeles. Doug Robb and Dan Estrin were the first original members, and Markku Lappalainen and Chris Hesse joined later.

3. Whats missing? "I dont want you to give it all up and leave your own life _______________ ?"

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: collecting dust

This is from "Running Away".

4. What was the name of Hoobastank's first album?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To

This was their self-released album, that started it all. After the release of this album in 1998, Island Records took notice of them and signed the guys to a record deal in 2000.

5. What does the name "Hoobastank" mean?

From Quiz Hoobastank

Answer: It doesn't have a meaning- it just sounds interesting

"It was fun to say at the time and when we named the band we were a lot younger. It kind of fit with the quirkiness of what we were all about. It kind of rolled off the tongue in a funny way." - Doug Robb

6. Finish the lyric : "Did you know me? Or were you too preoccupied _______________ ?"

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: Playing king in your small kingdom

This song ("Remember Me") was written by singer Doug after a classmate from his high school, who was in the popular crowd and ignored him, approached him and said they should hang out after his band went big on the west coast.

7. Who was the last member of the original band to be added?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Chris

Chris was added after he tried out at an audition that the band held looking for a drummer.

8. What is the missing word in this lyric from the song "What Happened to Us"? "But we kept it all _____ until it was too late."

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: inside

"What Happened to Us?" is a sadder song that is the opposite of "From the Heart". "What Happened to Us?" is about a young couple that didn't make it, and it serves as a sobering reminder that not all relationships can last forever.

9. What Hoobastank song was on the "Daredevil" soundtrack?

From Quiz Hoobastank

Answer: Right Before your Eyes

A song about not giving up on the one you love, and always being there for that person.

10. Finish this lyric from "Up and Gone" : "Staring at the white above, can't tell if _____________ "

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: I'm alive or am I dead?

This song was written about a friend of Doug's whose father left him.

11. "Escape" is a really neat song by Hoobastank that is a lot of fun to listen to. Choose the correct lyric that is contained in "Escape".

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: And I will go anywhere if you just lead the way

"Escape" is a fun song that is about, as the title suggests, escaping from everyone and everything so that two people in love can just be alone together. Hoobastank's first album was titled "They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To". How's that for a crazy title? However, this album got a strong favorable reaction when it was released in 1998, and everything went uphill from there!

12. What song is this from? "I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me."

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: "Crawling in the Dark"

"Crawling in the Dark" was written when the band was first starting out and their fate was uncertain.

13. Name the song in which the opening lyrics are "There's a pain that sleeps inside"?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Disappear

This song is, in my opinion, one of their best. It shows that while they can create all these fast-paced, hard rock songs, they can also create some songs that go straight to your heart. This song is track number 12 on their sophmore (second) album, "The Reason".

14. Name the Hoobastank song that has these very cool lyrics: "I'd like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end".

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: Same Direction

"Same Direction" is a fantastic song by Hoobastank. Its main message is that it doesn't matter what people think and what their different opinions are; in the end everybody is still going in the "same direction".

15. In the song "Give it Back," what does he want back?

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: His time and devotion

"Give it back, you need to give it back. The loyalty is something that you lack. Give it back, my time and devotion. Give it back, the love that I gave."

16. This question is from the DVD entitled "Let It Out", released in 2004 in November. Who is Dan Estrin's celebrity idol?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Mr. T

On the DVD, Dan states, "Someday, I'll be as buff as him." All of his Mr. T items are also shown. Well, Dan, good luck with becoming as buff as Mr. T...

17. One of Hoobastank's most beautiful songs is "Disappear". In the following lyric from "Disappear", what is the missing word? "It sleeps with just one ____."

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: eye

"Disappear" is a very beautiful and heart-wrenching song by Hoobastank, and in my opinion, one of their best. It is obvious that the band poured out their heart and soul while creating and singing this song.

18. This particular Hoobastank song is one of my all-time favorites. From the given lyric, can you tell what song this is? "Take a look all around, you feel it in the air. From the sky to the ground, I feel it everywhere!"

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: Let It Out

"Let It Out" is one of my favorite songs by Hoobastank. It is about showing your love for someone out in public so that everyone can see it. This song is awesome! Speaking of awesome, some bands that Hoobastank has toured with include Incubus and Alien Ant Farm.

19. Where was Hoobastank founded?

From Quiz Hoobastank

Answer: Agoura Hills, California

Hoobastank was formed in Agoura Hills, California, by Doug and Dan way back in the early 90's.

20. Finish the lyric: "It takes me to a better place, nowhere I'd rather go, thought I'd __________ "

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: let you know

This is from the song "Let You Know", track number five on their first album.

21. What was Hoobastank's first single in the U.S. in 2003 on their self-titled debut album?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Crawling in the Dark

"Crawling in the Dark" was their first single and shows that the future of the band was uncertain at the time of its release.

22. This lyric belongs to the song "Just One". "I need to _____, I need to feed, I need to see if I still bleed." Name the missing word.

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: think

"Just One" is another one of Hoobastank's more uplifting songs. It's about taking advantage of the opportunities that are available to you and not letting them pass you by. Hoobastank has had a strong performance record, but there was one major setback when Dan Estrin was injured in a minibike accident in July of 2003. He recovered by October and went back to performing. I guess that would be the very definition of taking the chances that are available to you and not giving up!

23. In the song "Hello Again," what does he say "with confidence"?

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: "We're better than ever."

"And with confidence I say, 'We're better than ever'" He does say that they're stronger today, but not with confidence.

24. Here's another question from the DVD "Let it Out", released in November of 2004. Which band did Chris decide to trash the dressing room of while they were performing on stage?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: Lost Prophets

This is one of my favorite parts off of the DVD, Chris starts off by putting every plant he can find in there, then he receives help in putting furniture and other big items in the room. Later, Lost Prophets walk off stage right into that.

25. Another one of my all-time favorite Hoobastank songs is "Out of Control". Which lyrics are in this awesome song?

From Quiz Rock On with Hoobastank's "The Reason"!

Answer: 'Cause I don't know if I can trust you

Hoobastank's "Out of Control" rocks, without a question! This song is a little more hard-core than the other songs in the album. It features backing vocals by a couple of members of Lostprophets, another excellent band. When Hoobastank was formed, it was influenced by such bands as Tool and Alice in Chains. This influence can probably be felt in this song.

26. Who directed Hoobastank's video "Running Away"?

From Quiz Hoobastank

Answer: Paul Fedor

Paul Fedor also directed P.O.D's "Youth of the Nation."

27. What song is this from: "A one sided friendship with you I've got to chase"?

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: Ready For You

"Ready For You" is track number seven on their CD.

28. Ok, we've reached our final question; what well-known song has the lyrics "I'm not a perfect person"...?

From Quiz Hoobastank Hoobafanum

Answer: The Reason

This is a song I'm sure everyone has heard. It came off Hoobastank's second cd, entitled "The Reason", this song was the second single. "Out of Control" came first, then after "The Reason", there was "Same Direction" and "Disappear".

29. Finish the lyrics from the song "Hello Again": "With a look that gave me _____ and gave me ______. And made me feel I've inspired."

From Quiz Hoobastank

Answer: strength, hope

This song is about a relationship that ends and turns into a friendship. They know it's over, but it's a new beginning and there still might be hope for them in the future.

30. In the song "Better" why should he hurry?

From Quiz Hoobastank Lyrics

Answer: Because he needs "a better view of things"

"I'd better hurry cause I need a better view of things" That's the end, hope you enjoyed the quiz!
