Green Day A Huge Influence On Blink-182

Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus tells Launch.com that Green Day was a huge influence on both him and Tom DeLonge when they were starting out. Hoppus said, “Oh, hell yeah. One of the first times I ever played music with Tom we were playing Green Day covers in his garage. We have loved Green Day music since we started this band and they really opened a lot of doors and they kind of blazed a trail for our style of music, for sure.”
