Everlast On The Hidden Backstory Of House Of Pain's Mega-Hit 'Jump Around' | People&# Hotney 4 Streams • 4 years ago

In this clip from People's Party, host Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh talk with House of Pain frontman Everlast about his mega-hit "Jump Around." Everlast shares the backstory of the song -- including the fact that Ice Cube passed on the beat. He also addresses the source of what just might be the world's most controversial sample. When Kweli remarks on the fact that the track launched around the same time as Kriss Kross's "Jump," Everlast tells the story of rushing their song onto the radio after learning that Joe Nicolo, co-founder of Ruffhouse Records, had heard the track and created a similar beat and theme for Kriss Kross.

For the deep hip-hop heads, Everlast's story of having Pete Rock on the track's remix is a must-see, as is the story of Pete's only time performing with House of Pain live.

Lyrics:
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side
and said I'm angry
Five days since you laughed at me saying
Get that together come back and see me
Three days since the living room,
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
Cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin, achin shake
I like vanilla, It's the finest of the flavors
Gotta see the show,
Cause then you'll know
The Vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
You'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you and said
You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

#faithnomore #mikepatton #jimmartin

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Best known for his ten year stint in the group Faith No More Jim Martin would be the group’s guitarist from 1983 to 1993.. Faith No More would break up in 1998 and reform in 2009, but strangely enough Martin wasn't a part of the reunion. Why’d he leave the group and what happened to him? Well one of the answers will surprise you and that’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.

Immediately recognizable due to his red trimmed glasses, his bushy beard and long hair, Jim Martin was born in the bay area and spent the early part of his musical career playing in a band called Vicious Hatred, which also featured future metallica bassist Cliff Burton. By 1982 drummer Mike Bordin, keyboardist Roddy Bottum and bassist Billy Gould formed Faith No More, which was named after a greyhound the bandmembers said they had bet on. MTV would report that Cliff Burton urged Martin to audition for the group. Taking his advice he did and got the gig. In their early years group struggled to find a vocalist, instead played gigs using an open mic policy whereby they invited a member of the audience to front the band each night. Not exactly a winning strategy to make it in the music business. One frequent attendee of the band’s early shows was singer Chuck Mosley who performed with the band several times and soon enough he became the group’s frontman.

Mosley’s time fronting the band would last about half a decade seeing the group put out two albums 1985’s We Care a Lot,and 1987’s Introduce Yourself. However Mosley’s volatile behavior and internal conflicts led the group to fire him before the end of the decade. By early 1989 having assembled a majority of the music for their third album, the band held auditions for a replacement finding Mike Patton. Patton at the time was playing in his outfit Mr. Bungle and within a week of getting the job he’d complete the lyrics for their third album the Real Thing.
The Real THing would be the group’s commercial breakthrough producing two hits in Epic and Falling to Pieces and the album went platinum in America selling over a million copies.

The band followed that up with 1992’s Angel Dust a record that would be guitarist Jim Martin’s last with the group. The album would sell about half as many copies as it’s predecessor going gold and marked a change in sound Angel Dust was the first album where Patton had a bigger influence on the music and rumors soon swirled in the music mags that Martin clashed with his bandmates about the title of the album, musical direction and things reportedly got so bad that some of Martin’s guitar parts were stripped from the record (at least that was a rumor for a long time).
Martin would talk to Kerrang in 1992 during the making of the record.
When asked whether Angel Dust was an enjoyable experience he’d rspond
Absolutely not, it's been an unpleasant experience from the very
beginning! It's been very unpleasant, but not really much different to my experiences in making records with Faith No More. It's very difficult to say it all in a short amount of time. "There's certain things
that certain people worry about at certain times, and certain other people choose to play upon it to increase the tension of a given situation until everything's way out of hand."
Angel Dust' would only have one song written by Martin. He wouldn’t attend rehearsals or meetings with the rest of the group opting to have the band send him tapes so he could add his guitar parts later. In all honesty it wasn’t too different from how faith no more recorded their previous records. Once Angel Dust was released in the summer of 1992, If you read a lot of the rock publications who spent time with the band on the road in early to mid 1993 you can see a lot of them writing about the internal tensions between Martin and the rest of the band.

Kerrang would write in their february 1993 issue about faith no more. While vocalist MIKE PATTON was taking an increasingly strong grip on the band's lyrical and musical direction, guitarist and

#smashingpumpkins #billycorgan

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

By the mid 90’s the smashing pumpkins were one of the most popular rock bands in the world. First bursting onto the scene in 1991 with their debut album Gish. They built a bigger following with 1993’s Siamese Dream. In 1994 the band headlined Lolapalooza and the following year they released their epic two disc cd Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness. The band was riding high and living the dream at least according to many outsiders, but that wasn’t the case. During the band’s tour in 1996 to support their third release, drummer Jimmy chamberlain and keyboardist johnathan melvoin were dabbling in drugs resulting in deadly cfonsequences. That’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.

Chamberlin’s days with the band date back to their early years when they were made of of frontman billy corgan, guitarist james iha and bassist d’arcy wretzky. Up until this point the trio were playing live shows using a drum machine. Chamberlin would express his interest in joining the band telling modern drummer magazine in 1994 “So I went out and saw the band – Billy, James, and D'arcy – playing at Avalon with a drum machine. Man, did they sound horrible! They were atrocious. But the thing I noticed was that not only were the song structures good, but Billy's voice had a lot of drive to it, like he was dying to succeed. So I ended up driving from work every Wednesday to rehearse with them.

Corgan would recall how he didn’t think Chamberlin initially was a good fit saying He was wearing a pink t-shirt, stonewashed jeans, had a mullet haircut, was driving a 280Z, and had yellow drums recalling We were sort of looking each other in the eye thinking, 'This ain't gonna happen, this is not the guy.' [But] he'd learned all our songs, as only Jimmy can, off the top of his head, and, within one practice, we were ready to play. It was amazing. We just knew right away. He's that good. Chamberlain would join the band on their debut album gish. But by the time the band began work on their second album siamese dream, Corgan felt the band was on the verge of breaking up. According to Details Magazine who interviewed the band in 1993 Corgan’s decision to air the band’s dirty laundry in the public created a lot of resentment within the group. In the article Corgan would be quoted as saying. "I hated all my friends, I hated myself, I hated the band." Corgan would enter therapy which forced him to talk more openly about his emotions, write songs about them and become more honest sometimes to the detriment of his bandmates. He soon started talking about the Smashing Pumpkins internal problems. How James Iha and D'Arcy Wretzky dated, but broke up and and Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin’s drug addiction. He would tell the same publication "The idea that the stance was to tell the story and force it into the open..but did it have the intended effect the interviewer would ask corgan to which he’d respond “...no, in fact i think it killed the band.’

When it came time for the groups second album, In order to keep production costs low Corgan relocated the band to Georgia, but there was another reason for going to Georgia, Chamberlain’s debilitating drug addiction. Rolling Stone would report in 1993 Aside from the lower production costs, they chose to record in Atlanta on the theory that Chamberlin would have a hard time attracting his usual coterie (co-ter-ee) of hard-core partyers there. The theory was wrong. Buckling under the pressure, Chamberlin would show up sometimes too wasted too play and once disappeared for five days. Corgan laid down the law: Either shape up or ship out. Chamberlin shaped up in a rehab clinic. It worked. Rolling stone would write.

Johnathan Melvoin, was a later arrival to the band first joining them in late 1995 as a touring keyboardist. He had an impressive resume up until this point in his career playing with musician prince and performing in a number of punk bands including the dickies.. Melvoin’ was exposed to music as a young child coming from a musical family. His father played piano in the 80’s era group Wrecking Crew and most famously played wi

#subllime #bradleynowell #santeria

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Sublime was a ska-punk and reggae band that never got to properly experience their success. By the time their third album came out the band ceased to exist and most of their new fans had no clue the group was done. Today let’s take a look at the history of the band Sublime.

Growing up in the long beach neighbourhood of belmont shore, Frontman and guitarist Bradley Nowell came from a musical family. His father worked as a homebuilder who played guitar in his spare time.. His father became known for playing covers of Jim Croce (crow-che()) songs at parties while his mother was a piano teacher. His parents would give him his first guitar lessons. But by the time he turned 10, his parents would divorce with his mother taking custody of her son. She would tell VH1’s behind the music that nowell was a needy child and struggled in school becoming disruptive and suffered from attention deficit disorder. Feeling overwhelmed by Bradley’s behavior, he started living with his father at the age of 11 who took his son on a sailing trip around the US virgin islands. It was here where he got his first exposure to Bob Marley and reggae music which would be a huge influence on Nowell’s career in music.

Upon returning home from the sailing trip, Nowell was now a teeanger who would play in punk rock bands in the early 80’with bassist Eric Wilson. Wilson would recall how early jam sessions weren’t very successful telling the LA Times
“He was making me play (reggae). I didn’t want to play it,” with Nowell adding
“I was trying to get them to do ‘Cherry Oh Baby,’ (a song popularized by British reggae band UB40), and it didn’t work. They tried, but it just sounded like such garbage,“We were horrible.”
Nowell and Wilson’s band would be put on the backburner while Nowell went off to college. He would attend UC Santa Cruz for two years before he decided to study finance and transfer to Cal state. He only had one semester left before he dropped out recalling to the lA Times
“I have all the hard classes left. . . . I doubt I’ll ever go back.”
By this time NOwell returned to Long Beach and it was 1988, Hed reconnec with Wilson who called an old neighbour he grew up with across the alley named of his Bud Gough (Gawww). Gaww was taught drums by Wilson’s father who was a jazz drummer. Sublime’s lineup was now born. They would jam in Gaww’s garage and one of the first songs they wrote would be, well since this is youtube i’m not going to say the song’s title because last time i said this word i got in trouble so let’s just called it Date Expletive. If you know Sublime then you’ll know which song im referring to.THe band soon established a big following playing backyard parties and dive bars in southern california in front of hundreds of kids, earning upwards of $250 a night .
Gaww would tell Spin Magazine “we were like the band that everybody in the scene would show up for. If you were having a party that night and you had us play there would be two other parties that night in the same neighbourhood, everybody was going to be at the sublime party.
Wilson would recall to the LA Times We played some pretty rough neighborhoods,” “You’d have to be afraid of your own safety. Gangster kids would show up at the parties, and there would be trouble. Somebody got stabbed one time.” The gigs were so rough that Spin Magazine reported that samoan guards would provide security at the gigs and the police would be a frequent presence hovering over the gigs in their helicopters if they played past the noise curfew.
In 1990 Nowell rescued a dalmatian named Louie sometimes referred to as Lou Dog which was named after his grandfather and became the group’s defacto mascot. He was also referred to as Nowell’s alter-ego He would join the band on the road and onstage. During the spring of 1990 Michael “Miguel” Happold (happol) a music student offered to manage the band enticing them with an offer of free studio time at the school he attended. He became the de-facto fourth member of the band, helping prodoce their music, helping run their affairs and record label. The band by this point had al

#hillelslovak #rhcp #anthonykiedis

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Founding Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak would die at just 26 in 1988. Prior to his death, Slovak was struggling with addiction, while on the cusp of a critical and commercial breakthrough with the band’s third album. But over three decades since his passing, Slovak would be regarded in shaping not only the band’s early musical direction, but their continued success to this day. This is his story.
Hillel Slovak was born on April 13th, 1962, in Haifa, Israel and would move to the United States with his family, initially to Queens, New York and then settling in Los Angeles, California five years later. Slovak took interest in painting as a child, but focused more on music in his teens, when he got his first guitar as a bar mitzvah present. By the time he attended Fairfax Highschool, Slovak befriended Michael Balzary, better known as Flea, and drummer Jack Irons, both of whom would become his future bandmates. In the meantime, Slovak found his footing as a hard rock and metal-based lead guitarist, taking note from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Kiss. He’d form his first band in the late 70s with friends from school – Irons would be on drums, Alain Johannes (alan yo-hanis) on vocals and rhythm guitar, and Todd Strassman on bass. The band started out as Chain Reaction, then as Anthem, and later, Anthym with a ‘y.’
These days, fans can now get a good idea of what Anthym sounded like, thanks to the recent discovery of a few of their demo tapes. On October 6th, 2021, Johannes, who had later achieved fame in the 90s as the frontman for the band Eleven, unveiled one of Anthym’s early demos through his Instagram page, an eight-track tape from 1979 called Paradox. On his post, he writes, “Found this cassette deep in a box…can’t believe it still kinda plays.”
Two weeks after that post, it was revealed that another Anthym demo, this time from 1980 called Forever Love, was discovered by Blast Music Management owner Aaron Jacoves, who had obtained it from Total Annihilation Studio. Between the two tapes, you can sense the fluidity in Slovak’s approach, as he moves from the straight-ahead blues rock of Black Sabbath to the arena rock of early 70s-era Rush.
By the early 80s, Anthym would compete in Battle of the Bands contests, and also manage late night gigs in the local bar scene, even though all its members weren’t of legal age. After one of those performances, Slovak met another Fairfax High student, Anthony Kiedis, in the audience, who was a budding actor at the time. Kiedis recalled the experience in his 2004 autobiography, Scar Tissue, saying,
“I usually felt like the leader in most of my relationships with kids my age…but I immediately knew that Hillel was at least my equal, and in fact knew a lot of things that I didn’t.”
“He understood a lot about music…was a great visual artist, and…had a sense of self and a calm about him that were just riveting.”
Once Kiedis was in the picture, the group became fast friends, and would bond over music and casual drug use. Kiedis acted as Anthym’s roadie, as well as their hype man for live gigs. Eventually, the band changed their name to What Is This, switched their sound from hard rock to new w

Blur is an English rock band formed in 1988, consisting of vocalist Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James, and drummer Dave Rowntree. The band was central to the 1990s Britpop movement. They achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided greatly by a chart battle with rivals Oasis in 1995, which was dubbed the “Battle of Britpop”.

Their self-titled fifth album, released in 1997, incorporated influences from the lo-fi styles of American indie rock groups, and the album became their third to top UK charts.

“Song 2” is the second track, and the single, from this self-titled album. This song was atypical of Blur’s previous style as it sounds the least like the rest of the band’s Britpop catalogue. When the band originally wrote the song, they wanted to play it for their label as a joke, because they thought it was far too noisy and horrible to ever be released as a single. However, the label loved it!

The song was written to poke fun at the Grunge music that was bog in America at the time. Graham Coxon was tired of doing complicated parts and wanted to do something simple, but horrible and make as much noise as possible. The song was tracked in Maison Rouge Studio, with the vocals recorded live, and lots of fuzz and distortion on the guitar, producing the loud, extreme sound Coxon was aiming for. The song also featured two drum kits, with Dave Rowntree and Graham Coxon both banging on the drums simultaneously.

The track’s title was originally just a working title, representing the track’s placement on the album, but the name stuck. In the end, the numerology works out well, as the song is not only the second song on the album, but is 2 minutes and 2 seconds long, features 2 verses and 2 choruses, and eventually peaked at #2 on UK charts.

LYRICS

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody...
