Talk:House of Pain

Untitled

Is it worth mentioning Des Bishop's attempts to translate "Jump Around" into Irish? Renny Barrett (talk) 05:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course it is. JohanK (talk) 23:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Name

How did the group decide upon the name "House of Pain"? Funnyhat (talk) 04:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• According to the Rise to fame section, it was taken from the book The Island of Doctor Moreau. This currently needs a citation and here's information that might help. There's a video in which Danny Boy plays the song No Spill Blood by Oingo Boingo (which is based on H. G. Wells' novel, and mentions the Moreau's 'House of Pain'). Danny Boy explains he was at a concert of Oingo Boingo and that band was misbehaving by staying on stage longer than was allowed. They said something like 'We might end up in the House of Pain.' In this case jail, but also a reference to Moreau's 'House of Pain' from the novel (where his operating table was). --82.171.70.54 (talk) 15:35, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Amy Winehouse ?

Can we get support for the assertion that Amy Winehouse sampled the Jump Around baseline for her song You Know That I'm No Good ?

Matt Champy

Who was Matt Champy? Why if you google search for "matt champy" you'll find that page of "House of Pain" as 1st entry? Thanx.

Succesful solo carreer?

In the timeline section it said something about "after a succesful solo carreer, Everlast launched House of Pain". I deleted that first part, it makes no sense. He had only released one solo album at the time, which was a commercial failure. All his other albums were released *after* the major succes period of House of Pain. In the Everlast article it says this:

"Emerging as a member of the Rhyme Syndicate, Everlast's first solo album Forever Everlasting (1990), largely made possible by MC Ice T, was a disappointment commercially. Following the album's failure, Everlast teamed up with DJ Lethal and high school friend Danny Boy to form House of Pain."

By the way, the anyonymous edit (see history) is mine, I made the edit before I logged in, sorry. Greetings. RagingR2 (talk) 14:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

New York or Los Angeles?

I'm a bit confused... was House of Pain from NYC or from LA? Currently this page says LA but I'm pretty sure it said NYC before and on some other pages (like http://hip-hop-music.wikia.com/wiki/House_of_Pain) it also says NYC.

Edit: It was changed here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=House_of_Pain&diff=688698906&oldid=688698780 .

I guess Everlast is/was from NYC and Danny/Lethal from LA? --Sibajaleoaj (talk) 11:23, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Everlast is from Long Island, New York. His article says he went to HS in LA but doesn't say when he moved there. I was going to say before looking up their origins that Everlast had a solo career and was Ice-T's protege suggesting he moved to LA for his music career before founding HoP so it makes sense that the group is listed as from LA even if not all its members individually are. Turns out they're all from the NYC-area (or NYC by way of Latvia), but despite that the group is accurately described as originating in LA. JesseRafe (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Irish-American?

So what does exactly make them Irish-American? Both members are born in the US and the group was founded in the US. Just because they have Irish background, does not make the group Irish-American. Suden13 (talk) 16:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree, be bold and remove it if you like. Thanks. Robvanvee 16:43, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
