Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

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

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

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.

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

Answer: Chris

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

4. According to "vh1" artist information, which of the following bands was not a primary influence for Hoobastank?

Answer: Alien Ant Farm

Hoobastank played with Alien Ant Farm, but they weren't an influence on the band. And for Incubus, Tool, and Alice in Chains, they took their heavier sound and turned it into a lighter, suburban groove.

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

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".

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

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...

7. Which of the following is a song not sung by Hoobastank?

Answer: Meet You There

The song "Did You" was written for the "Spiderman 2" soundtrack.
"Did you say everything you could? Do the things that you thought you would?"
"Right Before Your Eyes" came off of the soundtrack to "Daredevil", and "Too Little Too Late" was on their first album with Island records.
"I've been so long in waiting, putting my life on hold for this chance to live out my dreams."
"Meet You There" is actually off of Simple Plan's first album.

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

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.

9. 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?

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.

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

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".
