A color photograph of House of Pain.
Danny Boy is on the proper right side. He is wearing a black shirt, a black jacket with a shamrock logo, and a black hat with a yellow leaf on it. He has a hoop earring in his proper right ear, a hoop nose ring on the left side, and is holding a bottle in his left hand. Everlast is standing in the center. He is wearing a white t-shirt, a black jacket and pants, a brown UPS baseball cap, a necklace, a hoop earring in his proper left ear, and rings on both hands. He is holding a bottle in his left hand and his right arm is around Danny Boy. DJ Lethal is on the proper left side. He is wearing a white t-shirt and a short sleeve, yellow plaid button down shirt. He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket and is holding a bottle in his hands. They are standing in front of windows with horizontal blinds in them.
There is a white border around the image. It is thicker on the two sides and thinner on the top and bottom. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated diagonal lines facing the right side of the paper. There are some tears on the side from where tape used to be. There are two yellow post-it notes at the top. There is an inscription by Bill Adler handwritten vertically down the left side in blue ink.
