Mike Ness interview

[@Ultradonna]

I was fortunate enough to work with the guy recently on there tour in Orlando. Mike's a really awesome laid back guy. The whole crew was awesome to work with actually. And for all you haters he's been clean since 85' and lives a healthy lifestyle now of eating healthy and working out. Mike will kick ur ass!

[@SaulTeebolz]

He on something I’ve watched interviews from the 90s and early 2000s and I’d bet the farm that’s he’s on heroin pills or methadone at the least. An addict can tell. I know what he sAys but I have my opinions

[@upstart1776]

Mike is so f-ing honest...it all comes through...so unpretentious, and grateful for what he's got and where he is...you can tell he's in awe of Springsteen....his attitude is so rare and refreshing...Social D..best band ever.

[@razzberry82]

He's such a charming punk rocker. One of the best.

[@JOKERSLADY713]

If Tom Hardy and Mickey Rourke had a love child... you would have this amazing man ...❤️Mike Ness❤️

[@roquero03]

this actually wasn't a bad interview... mike ness is the greatest...

[@beqi13]

Hottest man ever. Hotter at 49 than most boys are at 25. Simple, honest music. Don't like it, find something you like and go there. Otherwise you just look silly.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

It was cool to hear he started to like Bruce b/c of Robert Gordon's version of "fire". Its funny 'cuz Gordon (when he was younger) and Ness look alike. Also the bits about Setzer (Mike used to want "just 4 tattoos"; Setzer playing 50's style on a dark tune for a change) was very cool.

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

You guys are funny - it's called being raised in a very hard time - poor - couldn't imagine this would happen -- it's called insecurities. I have met many great musicians who are shy - but shine in their music. duh

[@erchachanfles]

I feel the same way about musik than he does. Mike ness is the shit

[@MegaTom13]

baddest man alive!!! a real gangster.

[@JessieSocial]

Such a gentleman here!

[@SyphusBatterus]

Its nice to look back on this and be able to say he was absolutely telling the truth when he said Social D was just taking a break.

[@TheSuperlolly]

mike ness is the greatest!!!!!!

[@MA2daL]

real man 100%

[@JesusOnHeroin]

great hair, Mike

[@jaffrojames5147]

reminds me of a young micky rourke

[@josepmtorralba]

A type of cool Marlon Brando attitude

[@hamupinhere]

Yeah that's it, you nailed it. I've been trying to put my finger on who he reminds me of for years; the resemblance is nearly uncanny. Mike Ness, even today, is what Mickey Rourke would've looked like had he not decided to throw his meal ticket away with an amateur hour attempt at boxing.

[@jpd782]

@Ultradonna Nice. My Wife's Mother. A friend of her's has been friends with Mike since they were kids. He's an old school punk rocker himself. I've never met Mike myself. But I'd love too someday.

[@V8Deuce]

@Ericisgoodenough Question. What is a Deuce Bag ?

[@jamesbondk]

damn!!!! red hot chili peppers thing. anthony and flea are in red hot chili peppers! thats so sick cuz they are both two of my favorite bands

[@rennyzero420]

It's like Trent Reznor doing a solo album. Its still NIN. Guitar Doors 🎙

[@nwana1977]

As much as I love Social D all I can think about now is Jancee Dunn. Gaught Dang, she's nice to look at.

[@Johonnac]

I like how engaged she was and seemed to make him feel at ease

[@sfgiantstorture]

@croatonfloyd Pretty scary when you consider that he stopped using more than a decade before this interview took place. I guess it stays with you for a long time, even if you do get clean.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

2:20 Yes I forgot that! Mike Ness name drops Robert Gordon, awesome. Mike and Bobby G are 2 of the coolest motherfos that ever lived... Mike even looks a bit like mr. Gordon, altho he never had quite as impressive a pompadour.

[@rjplamf61]

Company C (after your gone) is a great song. Could be made into a movie. Maybe it will one day. Never recorded on an album.

[@ogreskulls]

@V8Deuce Big Sandy isnt Rockabilly. Its roots music, rockabilly is edgier

[@GBPacor]

and how do you know all this...just asking

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

oh please

[@Minicorndogs2000]

Sounds like mike ness is sucking in slobber the whole interview... Lol like he was about to drool but he sucked it back in... Funny.. Love me some ness

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

none of the above - let's just be real and grow old...

[@richardhicks5324]

You guys leaving your Comments...were did you grow up??

[@V8Deuce]

@JMort95 Why? Truth often hurts eh?

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

Well done - many assume he's a junkie - I followed his lead shortly after... people weren't there and don't know shit.

[@Iamphenomenalaj]

Hot! :P

[@sonicjet7759]

Yes Jancee Dunn is a hot sexy MTV VJ :) i totally agree, shes hot and you think so too, GREAT

[@MA2daL]

92 i think

[@trinakngo]

He's an artist...so automatically he's hot right blah Heart?/! My boyfriend is a hottie too. Great voice and a fine body.

[@KimberlyHernandez-pm7he]

What year was this?

[@jeffkirk6202]

Kimberly Hernandez 1999. The album came out In April roughly

[@MA2daL]

my bad, like 97

[@SuperMilocat]

@svengaligraves13 brah, what?

[@BandOnTheRun87]

hey mike can ya work on my car?

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

sooo - why don't we see you're interviews? pretty simple my friend

[@V8Deuce]

@rbarto79 "Who don't have a strong understanding of music" . I know more about music than most. Its what i do . Its what i'm in to, Its what i collect. Trust me. He's a joke!

[@paulnoetling-cortech5256]

be careful - not knowing nothing...

[@gothabillygirl]

Would you prefer he got hair plugs and plastic surgery?

[@V8Deuce]

@ogreskulls What ?!?!??!? You don't know anything about music. I type/write what i do because music is something i am an expert in. "Roots music" does exist but Big Sandy is indeed Rockabilly/Western Swing.

[@V8Deuce]

@LaspeziaPunk27 Rockabilly ? Rockabilly? ROCKABILLY? wtf ! You need a lesson on the history of music!

[@dopearmy4763]

Google the actor Tom Hardy. It is unsettling how much he resembles Mike Ness

[@V8Deuce]

@rbarto79 He's still a Johnny come lately. Stick to what he knows best. being a 3 chord wonder with a monotone Punk Rock voice!

[@croatonfloyd]

Yeah, I hope he stopped using. But, trust me: I've never met someone who actually recovered from using heroine -- they always go back for sure. I hope I can be proven wrong, no doubt! But hey, there is no way to ever prove it with him one way or the other, but if I were a betting man. . . .

[@summerf2306]

you are an idiot. you know nothing.

[@garyfarina2751]

hey Mike, how do you feel about a guy spitting in another's face and then pummeling him while held because he thought differently?
