Social D doesn’t need hall of fame award! they’re a walking institution of rock and roll greatness

[@christinatucker160]

Social D is my all time most favorite band. So many dark times where I wanted to end it all I would play these tapes over and over that I was able to live another day. I owe them my life. Now life is much better! Thanks guys!

[@philkilcommon5554]

I'm so pleased to read this. Plagued by M.E and Fibromyalgia, not a day goes by where those thoughts don't go through my mind. I've lost friends who lost the battle I'm fighting. 'Reach for the sky' is so deep and meaningful to me.

One of the best bands in rock history. They´re amazing

[@stephenmras8519]

My hometown (Fullerton, CA) band. Born a day after Mike and been a fan since the beginning, though there were some rough year there in the ‘80s.

[@milos074]

Mike is very talented musician ❤🎉😊

[@daviddepiro]

fucking best band in the world! The sounds of my entire life!!

[@joeblohejr.8291]

Mike Ness's word are so powerful. He's a true lyrical poet, which I feel there are way to few of nowadays.

[@oldjarhead2062]

Agreed as well as relating to him

[@cobyutterback]

Yep. Probably my favorite singer songwriter ever.

[@azff]

Art Alexakis (Everclear) also writes great lyrics.....and yes, Ness is awesome. 👍

[@val13c59]

He’s an artist that doesn’t live by the words he sings.

I get chills when they start "Bakersfield" what a GREAT BAND and GREAT SONG! :)

[@robertojacobo]

Nice to see people just enjoying the music and not trying to record everything.

[@MrBlack6delta]

Hands down, my favorite band. They got the pulse of the streets. Mike has been whuppin the streets' ass longer than I've been alive... I'm 45 years old. That says something.

Yeah!, I was there. Been "there" with the best band ever since '84. Still filling me with awesome rock n roll vibes at 69.

[@mistyknesloney5708]

I've seen this band three times and every time they blew me away. Sounds just as good live as they do in the studio. ❤️‍🔥

[@punkyramone1794]

❤️ you guys!!

[@sixsentsoldiers]

A punk band who decided they wanted to be good at what they do. I love it. If Social Distortion is a punk band then I need a Mohawk. GREAT band.

[@Price3443]

check out bad religion if you like social distortion

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Kim Doersam thanks. I'll do that. I thought for sure I was gonna get some kinda hate reply. I just think punk bands were terrible musicians. Social D are the exception.

[@Price3443]

they are honestly but bad religions pretty good id check out american jesus or punk rock song

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Kim Doersam O yeah. Just watched a little of a live thing. They are good. Will check out the others too.

The best punk rock band. 2022.

[@josephwayne7424]

One of the best concerts/performances that I've watched on KZbin. They sound amazing especially their Guitar Tones

[@josephwayne7424]

I most have watched it 8 times... now I want to drop some P-90s in my Les Paul... Tone for days. Now everytime I go into a guitar center or shop I get a Les Paul off the wall and go over to the Bass room and look for a Fender Bassmen.. lol thanks Mike Ness...

[@darbybiafra9444]

He still looks great. He's like 60 years old. Still fuckable. ❤

[@benwitte8832]

I wouldn't mess with him.

[@DishGuy]

Social D taking it to the limit. Crazy that this show was ten years ago now. The band is in tip top form, and very cool to see a much appreciated European crowd. Closing out with two Cash classics...absolutely phenomenal!!!

[@41bmc]

Such a great band with top notch musicians. I really enjoy the drumming along with everything else.

[@ChrisParsonssteelbridgemedia]

Great artist who should be recognized by sales. Can't wait to see him perform again.

[@autumnwolf3952]

I hope one day I can have the pleasure of seeing this timeless band play live. It's a shame I never heard of Social D up until just two years ago. They are one of my favorite and most respected bands out there.

[@darrenlong7924]

Been listening to Social Distortion since I was a teenager. Introduced them to my kids who also love them. They were the first concert I took my son to. Now I’m going to be 57. Wow!

[@keithpalmer1998]

I have been a fan for over 30 years. Radio K 770 AM from U.of Minnesota in Minneapolis played Social D quite often. Of course I became a devoted follower. Mike Ness' songs spoke to me then , and still do 30+ years later.

[@Agent_Avo]

Everyone complains about the piano on Dear Lover... I love it.

[@crispee1978]

social D, along with motorhead, occupy that rarified area in the stratosphere that just above all other bands. mike ness is just a fukin genius plain and simple!!!!!

[@vampy420]

I agree they can still bring it, but it is not the same as their peak in the early '90s

This is a band that can still bring it. I think this current lineup is the best of the band's history and Ness is only better with age.

[@randallreid424]

I agree this is my favorite line up as well and when Ness talks it’s amazing how much I feel the way he does about the same shit and the way we grew up and hell I’m from a small town of about 350 people in northern WV

[@shortyberndjohann5059]

I saw them last week in Berlin: Mike "Bad Boy" Ness and the great combo lifted us all one dimension higher. Thank You :-)) So - that's real Punk. For me: Punk is from Patti Smith and MC5 to Green Day and AntiFlag and all in between, e.g. Nine Pound Hammer, Angry Samones, Johnny Thunders, Dead Kennedys... and sooo many Punk is something to agree. No matter who you are and how you look like.
