Social Distortion for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame they more than earned there place there

[@michaelpeterson5790]

Could not agree more.

[@wretchedknave5740]

They have inspired and influenced so many bands, ironically many of those bands came and went, SxDx are timeless and still relevant after all these decades. They changed my life that is for sure.

[@secretsquirrel8527]

Without question!

[@jasonbaker9674]

mnueet Definitely the world needs another social distortion or romones not just for old punk rock but music in general

[@robertjohnson3786]

Man they should be . Alot of good bands are being left out.

I saw social distortion prison bound tour in Sacramento second level in 1987, I walked in by myself at 16, it was my 17 birthday, Mike ness walked up to me and said hi, I immediately felt welcome,he then proceeded to sign a prison bound poster for me and graciously asked me to spend the rest of the nite on stage next to the drum kit.who does that? Mike ness does, kindness grace love respect . The life of a 16 year old kid changed that nite I am the luckiest person in the world. Thank you social distortion thank you Mike ness❤

Just saw them last year and it was a phenomenal show they are timeless!!

[@pablovergaraorihuela3075]

Argentina here!

[@pMT0m]

It took me 34 years. I found the best song on youtube.

[@Danishsnufkin]

This is the last song i got to share with my father who passed on christmas eve 2018. As a lifelong fan of Springsteen, this was something that spoke to him. Miss you pops

[@iansmith946]

Mikkel Halvorsen Lost my Pops in 2017, keep your head up brother. It never gets any easier but it does get better.

[@hugomasse8216]

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure your Dad was a pretty good guy

[@ZenithClarity]

Springsteen???????????????

[@Danishsnufkin]

@@ZenithClarity My father was a huge Springsteen fan. So this music he liked

[@Orxbane]

Mike tells stories the way Bruce wishes he could.

[@rifflife]

Ness has incredibly tasteful solos, Straight from the gut, no flash.

[@metalabsynth]

rifflife agreed, that pinch harmonic came out of nowhere for me, his solos are always badass

[@imvandenh]

He had a little flash in some of his solos, like Let it Be Me and Don't Drag Me Down. But still pure gut there.

[@punklyrics1]

His solos have a real blues sound to them, and thats what i really love about them

[@proletariatbourgeoisie9929]

The solo in Born To Lose is pretty incredible

[@jessekulbe1855]

His solos aren't the most technically impressive, but every note has its purpose, and he nails each note with the right inflection and attack. They're each a masterpiece in their own right

[@johnny-r]

This would have been a really good day to be at Guitar Center.

[@lcqlqtvy9752]

I'm 40 years old and I've been listening to Social D for about 30 years. I never get tired of listening to them...They are as good now as they ever have been. I'm lucky I was introduced to Social D at such a young age. Grew up with them.

[@scottbodager3759]

Yep...feel the same and I'm 53

[@johnramirez1245]

agreed..35..war..prison..divorce

[@imvandenh]

Turned 40 this year myself. Was a teenage father and passed the love of this group on to my children who are now adults and getting awfully close to having kids of their own. We have been to nearly 20 Social D shows since they were born. They are the soundtrack of our lives

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

43 been a fan since 87! 31 years and still goin. Mike Ness is one cool talented guy

[@mikaschwarzer1977]

Well, 15 years old and since the age of 10 a massive fan... Don’t get why everyone is listening to rap or popbullshit if you can listen to that.....

[@Sam-yo1xd]

seriously, that guitar tone is just amazing.

[@Jept]

satellite amp!

[@Marc-uw4mt]

and a highly modded Fender!

[@trenthamilton4240]

Right? Mike's tone is just fucking incredible. Billy Zoom from X does his Bassman mods (he did a lot for my old guitar player's rig); not totally sure where his P90's come from - Seymour Duncan custom winds them as I heard.. Otherwise, he only has a Boss DS-1 up front (I've seen his rig closeup more than a few times and have friends in his solo band) and his "Orange County" Deluxe is a '72 I think. It's a tone to die for. Clearly something to be said for raw simplicity.

[@downtownjj]

He doesn't use a boss, he uses a klon centaur

[@billnyethescienceguy2677]

He used to use a Boss SD-1 in like 1997 or so.

[@frederickglasser5617]

Ball and Chain may be the song that inspires the masses, but this song, Prison Bound, just brings tears to my eyes, it's just so damned beautiful.

[@Garycooper134]

WHO'S STILL WATCHING THIS IN 2018 AND STILL GETTING GOOSEBUMPS?!?!? WOWWWWW

[@robertjohnson3786]

Colinnnnn me. I love it

[@Deftone8sd]

Been watching for years, still, 2018, one of the best performances I've seen in my life. Fucking social distorion for life!

[@HALFHEAD3666]

[@laneferraro1878]

This song is great

[@jjfindog]

U don't like this... U SUCK! Period!

[@JohnDoeRando]

This is probably the best version I've heard.

[@bcrean291]

HIGOTYOU

[@christinarottinghaus4266]

I totally agree

[@LedDucatiZeppelin]

Without doubt. That intro guitar riff with the piano is an amazing combination.

[@mikewhite9717]

Ah, no the live version at the roxy in the early days.

[@JohnSmith-rn6mw]

I've listened to Social Distortion for just over 30 years, and this is still one of the most amazing recordings of this song

[@Mr.Korzack]

This song just sounds so much better with the Piano leading the rhythm now, in my opinion... Worth a re-recording as a bonus track on the next album, folks?

[@Coyeauxt]

How can I like a comment more than once??? You spoke my mind!!!

[@xthemetalmilitiax]

I found a website you can take a video off KZbin and convert it to MP3 I do it for random songs that sound good live !

[@813lynch4]

Agreed.where can I find the entire show ?

[@Danishsnufkin]

This performance is amazing.

[@dionprass]

The backing vocals are just flawless

[@ivan9634]

Yes, at first I looked for chicks in the back row😂

[@justinjoyner6946]

FLAWLESS

[@BobABooey.]

Get well Mike, music needs you.

[@TheMusicIsMyReason]

A band that has matured, aged and gets better with time. I can't think of too many. Still relevant to my life after all these years.

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Yep. Same here.

[@BikesAndBatallas]

"I want to dedicate this song to my son, Julian." This came out in 2011, when his son was in some trouble for drugs. A sad dedication, really.

[@justinmims659]

I think a lot of us growing up in poor, dysfunctional families can relate to SD. They are a fantastic band.

[@joeschmo9838]

AC/DC, John Fogerty (yes i know he isn't a band, but that voice)...and that's bout all I can think of. Maybe The Band (the band's name is The Band)?

[@relentless.7638]

They work together so well as a group. Classy, timeless punk rock. And hats off to the sound engineer for letting Hidalgo's ride cymbal cut through the mix so clearly.

[@ConRod65]

This is the definitive performance of this song. Change my mind.

[@BigEddie1970]

I saw them on this tour and this is better!

[@derekbells]

Live at the Roxy slaps too

[@joshblake5192]

Loved this song since I was a kid. To me it’s the “Freebird” of Punk Rock 🤘🏼🙌🏼

[@jamesthomas6611]

Sorry but Bad Religion is king but this is a hreat song

[@railroadtrash09]

Ness has that feeling in his voice.. Love this dude!

[@slavsbeslavs5761]

I'm thirteen years old. I attended a SD concert back in 2018 in Texas. It was one of the best days of my entire life. We were just watching them preform when a man approached us and invited us to the VIP section. We were right in front of the stage. It was amazing. I will never forget the time they played a love song and a fight broke out and Mike said," I sing one love song and a fight breaks out, how about another love song!"

[@MrArcjgw]

Mike ness is incredible I'm 61yrs old been Jammin since 81'

[@jillianjones257]

30 seconds in and I knew I'd love this version

[@Malvinas82]

Social Distortion live forever in my❤

[@davidjenkins2691]

If you can play this well live, it just speaks for itself.

[@4thutopia719]

This song help me get through a lot of hard times.

[@secretsquirrel8527]

Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of my son, who also has had years of drug addiction problems & prison/jail time. A real guy singing about real shit...so flawlessly that the pain is palpable. The greatest yet most underrated musician of my lifetime.

[@thomashamilton2506]

Best song writer of my generation

[@thomasklovethismusic2235]

Me to I know what you're saying 40 years of this shit prison drugs death so tried

[@GouthJ79]

Mike Ness lived it! That's why it hits' home brother.

[@remy1945]

I'm a long time SxDx Fan and the reason is, Mike pours his friggin' heart out with every lyric he sings and every chord he plays! Fan till I die.

[@anti-socialcustoms8441]

[@justinjoyner6946]

Absolutely love the piano intro! Just classic! Call it what you want. Social Distortion are one of the greatest examples of just TRU rock & roll !!!

[@sillypenta]

Such a great version. I would love a full live album in this style.

[@tautauson4469]

"live at the roxy" is what you want, some of the live tracks on that are even better than the studio versions.

[@XslumpX]

Tau Tauson thanx ^-^

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

+Tau Tauson it's live, but I wouldn't say it's in "this style." At least IMO. Roxy was a more typical live performance, in that the songs were played at roughly the same speed as the recordings. But this is slowed down quite a bit, which makes it more bluesy and soulful, I feel.

[@jeannelyons1139]

The "Roxy" rocks.

[@psychedelichurricane2508]

sillypenta said the same

[@jalindsay12]

My friend gave me a recorded cassette of these guys in '91 and I've been hooked since.

[@10Gmartinez]

Still watching this in 2019! I grew up on Social Distortion.

[@cherrylhaynie6435]

A true instant classic. This is a badass American punk rock & roll.

[@robertbutts9835]

Just punk I remember when I first heard his music I was blown away never will there ever be a Mike Ness . I met him in a parking lot in Toronto before a show .. it was during his country music stuff

[@ConRod65]

Punk-N-Roll!

[@Junketsuadidas]

Love Social D, I thank my father for everything. He raised me in genuine punk rock such as Black Flag, Social D, Misfits, The Clash, Bad Brains, Rollins Band & The Ramones. Thanks Dad :)

[@lvannucci]

What an incredible song. What an incredible version.

[@bobrivers302]

The band has matured. As we all do. Greatest version of prison bound I know

[@timflowers425]

Still so good, even though I've heard this song 8 billion times.

Back in 2010 I think it was in Saskatoon,SK my wife and I got snuck in the back door of a club and got to hear Mr. Ness singing this during their sound check. Then waited in a rain back alley for 4 hours just to meet him. But we finally met him at his bus. Greatest day of my life.

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

Greater than your wedding day, lol? You mention your wife, so I'm concerned you're headed for the dog house. But if she's a SD fan, then she'd probably understand, and maybe feel the same!

I was there too! Met him too. Had him sign a hat.

Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go And come out even tougher. A place where a man don't show his feelings, A place where a man don't cry. Well they say I'm being punished And they say I can be reformed But some day I'll return. Did they really think that This time it would work. You knew all along it wouldn't Oh, I'm prison bound I did a crime one too many times. It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines. Oh, I'm prison bound Tell my girl I'll be back one day. Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way. Well, they take away my freedom of expression or action Johnny says I'll walk the line With three hots and a cot And a lot of talk With lock-up, concrete, and steel. Well it's cold and it's clammy Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart But I've gotta do my time There's a lesson to be learned here But what a price to pay. You know, I may never learn- Oh, I'm prison bound I did a crime one too many times. It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines. Oh, I'm prison bound Tell my girl I'll be back one day. Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way.

Just amazing... the man's voice is sacrosanct.

[@ManOnEarth17]

i love the solo... it isnt blistering or anything , but it makes some really cool noise. it striked me hard every time the pinch harmonic comes in. also i totally agree that the piano holds a really cool place in a song like this. it isnt very often that you hear a rock/blues song like this with a piano. its very cool and refreshing.

[@daviddiot8374]
