Pain for Pleasure is the alter-ego band of Canadian punk rock band Sum 41. As Pain for Pleasure, they play classic heavy metal music. Officially, the band was disbanded as with Dave Baksh's (AKA Pleasure) departure; Pleasure is said nowhere to be seen, and Pain is dead. Sum 41 still performs songs by "Pain for Pleasure" live, although without their Heavy metal fashion.

History
Steve Jocz came up with the idea for their other image, including the name. The band liked the name and chose it for their alter-ego, which was created to play the music preferences of Dave Baksh and Jocz. The name is a possible reference to the Judas Priest song 'Pain And Pleasure', and the song "Pain for Pleasure" sounds similar to the Iron Maiden song "Killers".
"Pain for Pleasure" has appeared in several videos by Sum 41, including a Pain For Pleasure music video, which is attached to the end of "Fat Lip" from the album, All Killer No Filler. They also appear in the music video for"We're All to Blame" from the album, Chuck, and the bonus DVD from the album Does This Look Infected?, where they performed live on stage in their heavy metal fashion, as well as appearing in a musical documentary about their history. They also performed on Sum 41's MTV Jammed appearance, performing the songs "Holy Diver" (Dio cover), The Trooper (Iron Maiden cover) and "Pain for Pleasure". The band was in a Heavy Metal mockumentary on a bonus DVD for Does This Look Infected? entitled Cross The T's and Gouge Your I's.

Future for Pain for Pleasure
Following Dave Baksh's departure from Sum 41, the future for Pain for Pleasure is unclear. Cone has made it official that Pleasure has left Pain for Pleasure as well. The future for the band seems bleak, having lost one of its key members; the Ajax band, however, may return for a home show in the future called "Return From Hell".specify In the thanks section on Sum 41's new album, Underclass Hero, one of the bands thanked is "Pain 4 Pleasure." However, the band played live at the Q101 Block Party in June 2007.
Currently, Pain for Pleasure can be only seen performing live, yet after Dave Baksh's departure, Sum 41 have never performed with Pain for Pleasure's Heavy metal fashion on, although they perform the song "Pain for Pleasure" every single live show.
Sum 41's Touring guitarist, Tom Thacker, performs on Guitar while the band plays the song live. Sometimes the band brings special guests to play guitar, e.g. Ian D'Sa from Billy Talent.
The DVD documentary says that in 2002, Pain died of Alcohol Poisoning.
Songs
Almost every track of Pain for Pleasure has been released by Sum 41 as a B-Side. All of the tracks were written by Jocz.
