Social Distortion - 1945

Social Distortion practice 1983

[@FilthyBadges]

Derek O'Brian with those slick crossovers at the beginning. Under appreciated punk drummer for way too long.

[@jeffhelm7581]

OG 80's punk rock here. I've been going to their gigs since I was 14, I'm 47 now !!!!! Mike has had one hell of a ride... Props brother Mike, keep up the good life !!

[@Tricklarock]

@@wrenchaholic SaTx 1989 after Mike was making up for lost time .... prison bound tour of sorts .... crippled by society street punks opened up...me and my partner in crime ....went up on a greyhound......a van load of skate kids...and a car load of other punks....went up from Laredo....by luck the skate kids were at the motel social Distortion was at Dennis oh yeah well let's party.....we called an an older guy he bought us a case of Budweiser and Bud Dry.....drank till 4going on 5 in the morning. ...most righteous introduction to punk rock. .

[@wrenchaholic]

@@patdisaster8543 to be honest, ive seen them (SD) play about 6 times or so. but the first time was the one i mentioned. i was about 15 yrs old then.ahhh the days of the all ages show! it was at Jupiter Tequesta juvenile center JTJC. which is actually 2 hours from where i live. My Dad wasnt a great "father" but he was one hell of a "DAD"! How many dads would drive 2 hours with a truckload of freaks to some pool hall and wait probably 4 or 5 hours in the parking lot.... ......

[@ducati644]

Probably the best drummer Social Distortion ever had.

[@yorepete]

What was his name? I worked with a lad that said he played on this album.

[@ducati644]

Derek O'Brien

[@pissbaby7306]

Pete Sandoval was it him?

[@richardcockimus3423]

DOB is the fuckin' man. Drumming SO tight in this era.

[@elkuchito]

Probably the best line up!

[@kevinm3428]

Flipside Vol 1; I've still got it on VHS...Under My Thumb is excellent, too. Derek shreds the drums!

[@velvetinedrapes4359]

man that drumming is TIGHT

[@neurocytohemotoxic]

I saw them 7 years ago at Tony Hawk's Boom Boom huckjam in DC. It was sick!!! Seeing them live was one of the reasons why i got into punk.

[@brianporter138]

I was there too

[@chrisd7309]

Mike with the SG and the Bud!!

[@Gertold]

This is punkrock How i like. Awesome Text and the giutar is brutal

[@Porsche996driver]

Played this on Bingenheimer's album a thousand times. Great to see this og live version thanks!

[@alanhansmannkurtcobain8811]

Awesome song! Loved it when I was a junkie 15 year old and still do!

[@ryanhaines9170]

Amazing song. Great era for American Punk rock

[@12ThManOffGridAK]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@deyoungparker]

the lack of tats...what a trip. they still tear this song up today.

[@Finsami71]

Great drummer!

[@rpadilla72]

Fuken awesome thanks for sharing!

[@GeoffChisholm]

"Say hello, Mr. Marshall!"

[@stuartewoldt1513]

That drummer definitely has the feel for that band. Damn, wow

[@bohs1984]

I wish I still had had my 45 from back in those days. They were giving em out at the shows and it had 1945 on one side and Under my Thumb on the other. Kicked ASS.

[@acosta1503]

After they recorded "Mommy's Little Monster" they played in my homies back yard.....and passed out copies on cassette

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Don’t forget Playpen. That’s one of the best punk 7-inchers to ever emerge from the early 80’s.

[@bps3013]

Man, I could almost cry watching this. Remembering how awesome shit used to be, having to outlive our heroes, watching the years drag on and the scene changing -usually for the worse. Just glad I was there for the best of it. It was the greatest time ever, and it will never pass this way again. Thanks for the memories. You fuckers are missed.

[@WilliamSlaght]

great drummer :P

[@Dresdenlock]

R.I.P. Dennis...we will all miss you.

[@mikevirus]

Before Mike Ness saw the movie Grease. Great shit.

[@cau6659]

Omfg took me *years* to find this vid/song. . FINALLY!!

[@neilchair]

Drummer (who I'm ashamed to say I can't get his name off the tip of my tongue) looks like Tom Gabel when he sings. Thanks for posting dude!

[@Schlameil]

Derek O'Brien and Mike Ness are the only ones still alive from this lineup.

[@RockIforILyfe]

god i love this band

[@mariaalford1975]

Takes me back love this love them love him

[@trishc90210]

Loved Michael 💕

[@elihartsoe6718]

best drummer SD ever had

[@Schlameil]

That would be Derek O'Brien on the drums during this era of the band (during which the Another State Of Mind tour took place). He left the band with Brent Liles (bassist in this video/era) on New Year's Eve 1984 after Mike Ness accepted heroin from the promoter as payment for that show instead of money, leaving the rest of the band unpaid. O'Brien and Liles later played together in Agent Orange, and O'Brien also played with D.I. and The Adolescents.

[@jbens911]

@deejmm138 another state of mind dvd.

[@MrRoboto81]

It’s crazy to think that two of the guys in that video have passed away

[@jks2]

this was in 1982! i think this was their first tour together with youth brigade touring around in their school bus wich broke several times

[@GaryShowbiz]

Great Social D practice vid.......

[@trotsky707]

great song

[@fukeyuke4156]

This is sick!

[@lexjohnston3535]

GEEZ I MISS THE OLDIES!!!!!! TX PETE

[@jordancooper7119]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s theme + Social Distortion’s singing

[@TheSyndicateInfo]

Nice...

[@jetclean]

Mike kinda looks like Tebow

[@Schlameil]

@dnzg66 There was a much longer video on KZbin that this was a part of, I'm not sure if it's still up though. It was shown on public access tv I'm pretty sure.

[@Druffmaul]

It was on Flipside Video Volume 1, VHS tape you could order from Flipside or find at Zed Records etc. If it was ever shown on TV, it was illegal. Flipside never licensed anything to TV.

[@ledzep79]

dope

[@GLASSB182]

oh well thanks anyway for the info!

[@Hollywould87]

holy shit he's so young and non-tattoed here aw

[@patdisaster8543]

Barely had any ink ....

[@Shikta-poobah67]

He looked much cooler back then.

[@StephenAndrew777]

Agreed.

[@dnzg66]

Holy shit, this is awesome. Where did you find it?

[@whoregotshot3144]

why does brohymn by pennwise

[@ecb2]

@whataburgerfan1 Holy shit, you just blew my mind. I can totally see it. The music is so similar.

[@agression1]

This is Social D. Sorry to all who think it isn't.

[@diafwnia]

Check out Detour - Amoeba

[@edgarbanuelos6472]

Remember when Mike Ness looked like Davey Havok? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@jetclean]

Tim Tebow with a Hawk

[@marinataddei5436]

che adrenalina che energia stupendamende esplosivi mike ness GRANDIOSO!

In inglese, per favore, Pagliacci 🤡

[@boingmgroin]

If their is one single band making this type of music in 2010 someone please message me and tell me about it!

[@ecb2]

@BarrioPunkRock Wow, not sure about that either. I always thought this was a straight SD tune. I know that members of these 2 bands crossed over, so who knows?

[@Tricklarock]

Fucking GOLD right here!!!!!

[@Gool349]

FUCK YEAH a song that starts with these drums ATOM BOMB!!! is just POW!!!

[@valdesigns1346]

ness had 2 full sleeves by 88 anyway, maybe earlier.

[@dannynez2201]

cool , we all gotta start sumwhere ....

[@whoregotshot3144]

why does brohymn by pennywise sound like 1945

[@RetroSoulGirl]

What would happen if a 1980s Mike Ness met the 2013 Mike Ness?

[@deejmm138]

wow where did u get this from???

[@generalPWNS]

this is sick

[@leoagus78]

Mike,what ages are you when u were sing that song?

[@marcab1an]

holy shit i can see normal skin on his left arm, this must be old lol!

[@AssassinJ2]

Sounds better than the studio version. Why may that be?

[@alltheluck]

Well said! I fully agree! Cheers!

[@jacobmalakian9872]

+AssassinJ2 all of these original songs back in the day were designed to be played live

[@maliciousspirit7081]

😎👍👍👍

[@artfan101]

A punk band that could really play... huh. Wonder if they are still around.

[@StayVenturous]

Look at their songs? Lol they still have tours (expensive as fuck but great quality even today)

[@detectordave2094]

Ness looks like the english dude in grease 2

[@GLASSB182]

i want something like that hanging from my ear! but i just dont know what its called?

[@SixTenVisuals]

If I decide to go see Social D this Wednesday, THIS is what I want to hear!! Mommy album stuff not that early 90's crap.

[@akoe1968]

epic

[@ghostodarb]

This song sounds a lot like "amoeba" by the adolescents.

[@FernandoGarcia-lg9fh]

What was the origin of this song?

[@valdesigns1346]

holy crap they look young

[@williamjaeke]

Mike ness has good hair

[@GothicMaidenX]

I like this

[@juden187]

na tebow looks like mike

[@joemama-vs2dw]

I really want to see social d live before they stop playing

[@xj53pq7]

I saw them this summer, they kicked ass. They'll probably be touring their next record in another year or two.

[@jacobmalakian9872]

+joe mama dont expect anything like this. this is long over sadly

[@stevev6384]

This is so much better than the shit that is “cool” today

[@alltheluck]

3 people have no taste.

[@0truckmafk]

3 people are watching "how to twirk" vids

[@pmcfarlin7]

+Jake Brown whoa did that really happen never knew that.

[@pmcfarlin7]

Jake Brown wow that's crazy

[@rjn8001]

+Jake Brown I'm on the Adolescents' side to this day merely because they're so much more cool than Mike. Better songs and Tony Cadena was always more hardcore. Plus, to this day, every show they'll play they'll hang out with everyone before and after. But I do enjoy a small bit of Social D, I must admit.

[@jakebrown9859]

"Mommies Little Monster" is actually a great record I believe! Everything else is bullshit! I was a little too harsh I know but I can't stand Mike Ness. Total douche!!

[@QuintonTarr]

Fuckin awesome!

[@10pounds]

@LcplMartin1986 not mad. That's a funny saying though. You got it backwards. Greenday loves them some Social D

[@Belk1488]

Lawl hard to believe thats mike lol.

[@jks2]

search for: another state of mind. the full documentaire is uploaded on youtube!

[@cryptsub]

Gratuitous tats started in the 90s I think.

[@Wami00]

@comicbookfan1234 Casey Royer did not write this -_-

[@Smartass11111]

holy shit! his arms aren't covered in tattoos!

[@cryptsub]

Not Ness, but in general.

[@DAVIE1488]

I FUKKKIN AGREE !

[@davids.2808]

This was filmed at the warehouse off the 91 and Orangethorpe. They were still a backyard band then. None of you know Mike and Dennis went to Troy High School. All of the bands had one side of the warehouse facing the street. I remember the Ken and Barbie's had the one next to this. On the weekends we would BYOB and watch the bands practice. On the other side of this room was another band , but I don't recall who they were. This warehouse was bordered on two sides by a Mexican Barrio. The gangbangers would line the sidewalks, but they never stepped in. We were there in the hundreds to there 30 or so guys. Anyway ya'll missed some good times!

[@Druffmaul]

I grew up on Woods Ave a block from Euclid, a couple hundred yards from Independence Park and the DMV. I lived a couple blocks from the Agnews and went to school with Frank and Alfie. Alfie used to pick me up and drive us to FUHS. This wasn't filmed anywhere near where you said it was, it was video taped at Pulsar Sound Labs rehearsal studios in Placentia. Right near the border with Fullerton but closer to the 57 than the 91. And this was in 1983 a year after SD had toured the US and Canada. They definitely weren't "still a backyard band then." You probably thought you sounded pretty cool in your post, but you sound a lot less cool to those of us who are aware you don't know wtf you're talking about.

[@davids.2808]

I beg to differ. I knew Mike from grade school through high school and beyond. My sister dated Rick back in the day and still talks to him and to this day she is BFF with Mikes little sister, she lived at my moms with my sister and yes it was filmed at the warehouse in 1979 or 1980. I used to party thier on the weekends. All the bands at that time rented space on one side of the complex next to each other

[@sydbarrettmadcap]

so weird to see him with his skinny blank arms. no tattoos.

[@deansacca781]

The O.C.
