01. Who is Blink-182?
Answer: Blink-182 is a punk-rock
group from San Diego, California, in the United States. The
group consists of 3 persons; Tom DeLonge (foundator, Guitarist
and vocalist), Mark Hoppus (bassist and vocalist) and Travis
Barker (drummer).
02. Who is Scott
Raynor?
Answer: He is the former drummer
of the band. He was part of the adventure from the start in
1992 until 1997-8. Answer in why he leaved the band and was
replaced by Travis Barker can be found here.
03. Why 182?
Answer: Answer is here.
04. Are you [insert
band member name here]
Answer: No, stop asking that! This
is a fan's website, an un-official website that is in no way
endorsed by MCA nor by the band. It's just a fan that created
this website for fans.
05. Is there a way
to reach the band.
Answer: You can send a self-adressed
envelope to "P.O. Box 232247, Encinitas, CA 92023".
All band members also have e-mails but donot answer to the fans.
Here they are: Tom (tom@loserkids.com), Travis (travisbarker@famoussas.com)
and Mark (mark@loserkids.com and vikingwizardeyes@yahoo.com).
Mark uses that last adress in order to post on their
official yahoo group.
06. What is Boxcar
Racer?
Answer: Boxcar Racer is a side-project.
It includes Tom DeLonge& Travis Barker along with two other
guys. The lyrics are all by Tom and reflect a darker side of
him than seen on Blink-182. He also is the one vocalist. Boxcar
Racer has released one studio album (self-titled) and two singles;
"I Feel So" and "There Is". For more info,
get on the frontpage
and find the boxcar racer subsection on the left navbar.
07. What is The
Transplants?
Answer: The Transplants is a side
project. It includes Travis Barker as a drummer and that's where
the common points with Blink-182 end. It is a punk-rock group
in the deepest meaning but with some hip-hop influences though.
They released 1 studio album (self-titled) and two singles;
"Diamonds& Guns" and "D.J.D.J"
08. Who/ What is/
are "The Aquabats"?
Answer: The aquabats are a band
in which Travis Barker was playing drums before getting with
Blink-182. His nick in the band was "Travis Baron Von Tito".
Why he left this band can be found here.
The aquabats still exist but have yet to achieve success. They
have a website aquabats.com
09. What is the
secret behind the album letters?
Answer: Starting with "Flyswatter",
their first record, blink created an alphabetical game. On their
first record cover there is a big "A", then there's
their second record "Buddha" which starts with "B"
then Cheshire Cat, "C", then Dude Ranch, "D",
Enema of the State "E", and then there's the live
record of "The Mark, Tom and Travis Show" which introduces
an "F" on Travis's drums and finally there's "Take
Off Your Pants And Jacket" with a "G" on the
Jacket. The story ends here with their self-titled album in
which they officially did not put a letter (c.f. "H")
because, dixit, they wanted this album as a "New Blink-182".
Although rumor says the "H" could be inside the "B"
of Blink-182 on the cover. This proves to be false as this is
in fact a capital B inside a minor B. That's all, I hope I've
been clear.
10. Who is "Holly"
in "Easy Target" and "All of This"?!
Answer: The band do mention "Holly"
in both songs but do not talk about her in interviews... It's
more likely that this girl is someone they met when they were
young... And obviously they had a crush on... But that's only
suppositions.
