He is my favorite bassist and is/was in my favorite band.
I know most of you won't think he's any good but he always
plays a good bassline for the song and some of his lines are classic. He's the fastest downstroker I've heard too.
And he does all this while pogoing around the stage like a madman. 
And he plays the coolest bass ever.  |

IMO, his inspirations are better than him though, check out Paul Simonon from the Clash for sure.

Graeme | Yeah, Carousel is cool but it's kind of funny that he has to sit down to play it............... |

On recording he fits the song, doesn't add too much to the music, and sings in the majority of the songs, but he could sit around learning Paganini violin pieces on bass for all anyone who isn't friends with him personally could know.
Speaking hypothetically of course.  |

Weak. You see, when you have your strap so low it affects you in such a manner, consider sucking it up and look "not cool" 
But other than that, Mark is probably one of the greatest bassists I've ever heard.

... alright I'm going to stop.
Marky Fizzle is a solid pop punker, other than carosel, I've never heard anything flashy come out of him, which makes me wonder why his playing is so inspirational to kids. Regardless... it is... and that's cool. He's making people want to play, and kudos to him for that. I've made a few kids want to play bass, which feels good. But Mr. Hoppus has made thousands want to play... which is really cool.

To each is own, and Mark has accomplished a hell of a lot more than I have as a bassist. He is definetly not a great bassist in my eyes, but for some reason kids dig him.
