Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the oldest original member of Blink-182?

Answer: Mark Hoppus

The band was originally formed by Tom, Mark, and Scott in 1992. Travis replaced Scott in 1998. Mark Hoppus was born March 15, 1972. This makes him a few years older than Tom (b. 1975), Travis (b. 1975), and Scott (b. 1978).

2. Mark received a communication that inspired the song "Adam's Song". How was the correspondence sent?

Answer: E-mail

Someone anonymously sent Adam an e-mail that a kid had written to his parents. The entire band wrote the song, though. The line of the song ("I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough") refers to the line, "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late," from Nirvana's 1991 song "Come As You Are."

3. Pick the correct band member and instrument played pairing.

Answer: Tom-guitar/vocals, Travis-drums, Mark-bass/vocals

Tom and Mark both sing, but Tom plays guitar and Mark plays bass. Travis plays drums. He wasn't the first drummer for Blink-182. Scott Raynor was the first drummer, but he was kicked out of the band because of either his drinking problem or his desire for higher education (sources vary).

4. Which two band members were also in the band Boxcar Racer?

Answer: Tom and Travis

Boxcar Racer was just a side project formed by Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker, while they were still in Blink-182. This was prior to the 2005 breakup of Blink 182.

5. Which members were in the band +44?

6. Which Blink-182 member was also in Angels and Airwaves?

9. Travis suffered a traumatic event in 2008. What was it?

Answer: A plane crash

DJ AM was also in the plane crash with Travis in South Carolina. They both survived, but in 2009, DJ AM died of a drug overdose. This caused some shows from the Summer 2009 Blink-182 Reunion tour to be canceled.

10. Which member once believed in aliens and publicly discussed this belief?

Answer: Tom

The song "Aliens Exist" was about Tom's belief in aliens. He also admitted that he once bought a computer just to research things about aliens.

14. Mark announced on the 51st Grammy Awards show that Blink-182 would be playing together again.

Answer: True

After their break up in 2005, the members all went off their own ways. Then Travis' injuries in the 2008 plane crash brought about a reopening of communication. This was a major event in the reuniting of Blink182.

"This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)" was released on Taking Back Sunday's album "Where You Want to Be" (2004).
