Social Distortion - Ball And Chain

[@antartica4321]

"I'm born to lose and destined to fail" My favorite lyrics of all time.

[@Logoned]

This is a great band, can't believe I never heard of them till my son turned me on to them slipping a CD in my car player

[@Gretchen5446]

Ed King I'm 40 this week and I turned sombody older then me on to them recently.

[@justinTime077]

Cool kid.

[@AKLPUNDERGROUND]

most bands tune down when the singer gets older, they've tuned an entire step up from the original. Nice one Mike!

[@ImJust1Joe]

By far one of my favorite bands, there's something about their lyrics that speak to me.

[@Belk1488]

His raspy voice is what makes these songs great just like rancid & skrewdriver

[@Jeffp24NM]

Utter greatness

[@samjstone2k]

One Of My Favorite Bands! They ROCK! -Sam

[@lukepghpa]

amazing song, i get goose bumps everytime i hear...describes how my life used to be perfectly

[@SlipknotMaggot81]

fuck yeah man Mike Ness attended the same high school as me!!! thats so fucking dope

[@CLP-t7c]

Great sound quality! Thanks for posting!

[@hurleystowing]

Killer Band!!!

[@Trashed33]

Same here dude! I'm not really a fan of guitar hero, but I fell in love with Story of my life and since that SD is one of my favourite bands :)

[@jm-um4st]

One of the best bands ever!

[@thjudge]

Saw em a few times back in the day... best show was at the Bernard Pub in STL (burned down years ago) on their Prison Bound tour.. only had maybe 30 people in the bar and it got real personal... just a cool bunch of guys and Ness is the man.

[@badbrains1969]

They still got it...........awesome.......

[@pinkypunk71]

Mike, you are the man....been a fan for my entire life it seems....Love ya man!

[@cskater18]

great lyrics

[@Jacksmusicshack]

this song is the story of my life..almost

[@nereusocenus2338]

Amen

[@XtraFormat]

PS: I played gigs that time...... with the bands all mentioned in your heart... Very fun to.

[@chrisr604]

Still so mad at myself for missing this. My co-worker went and reminded me for months.

[@randyredbeard9101]

Outstanding!!!!

[@roquero03]

Fits my life perfectly at this moment.. but things are getting better.. thanx mike..

[@njj37]

he has come a long way from another state of mind!

[@thrashtastical]

i dont like how im getting older, theres just so much in life i want to live forever and experience it over and over again

[@johnny-r]

Mike is a true original. So fucking real - it doesn't matter if you like his music, just respect the man for doing what the rest of us wish we could.

[@DFSV4]

Never get tired of this fucking(amazing) song!!

[@craignelson1922]

Me nether

[@craignelson1922]

They need two start working on a new album and go on t

[@jehugo66]

YEAH!!!

[@emhancock74]

Mike Ness may be the rockstar I'd most want to meet. You kick butt Mike!

[@michaelduhe4250]

These dudes are da shit

[@pcdo050]

they're comming to Rock Werchter this summer. Damn I love it

[@thebandx]

This is a music!!!

[@jtcolts72]

Everytime I hear this song I just think damn Mike Ness is such a great songwriter

[@BjavaBluesStop]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!

[@GBPacor]

@GymFloozie Dood Mike is my inspiration for playing guitar! :)

[@DiesingManuel]

John Maurer the Bass Monster😂😂😂😂😂

[@bigtom1001]

people hate on games like guitar hero, thanx to gh i discovered sd!! awesome band!!!

[@leatherneck8741]

Gunfighters on my right arm...keep rockin' Social D!!

[@LAMBKILLER]

I have now had a dishwasher soap commercial and a mucus commercial talk over this video. I'm pissed and I urge everyone to boycot any product that KZbin puts up on these videos that destroy the song by talking over the music. Being inundated with ads is bad enough, but I draw the line with the ones which ruin the song.

[@johnny-r]

I love that he's got his toggle taped down to treble. That's a pretty badass thing to do. Maybe it's to keep him from flipping it if he hits it accidentally, but I like to think it's a message: "I play the bridge pickup - I don't need any other fucking pickups."

[@ludehead]

@erikadoss Absolutely, you can say that. If I were Mike Ness, that's exactly what I'd want to hear from a a fan :)

[@susanmonroe4248]

Awesome story =)

[@hefordcg]

5:54 ahhahahhahhahahahhahahhahahhahhahhahahhhahaahhahahhahhahahhah

[@Requitedprawn25]

i weird to see mike 50 and not retired yet my post makes no sense

[@CINGO25]

I just love Mikes voice!

[@Cvatl]

dont take away my "balls and chain" haha lol

[@jhendricks02]

“anicanakamimoopain” 😂 love it

[@EdmundDantesjb]

the audience seemed very calm isnt it? social d is coming to argentina in april, we'll show them an audience =XD

[@slayer285]

man hes gettin up there in age but damn he still rocks

[@nicholphil]

My life has never been without Social D as they formed the year I was born and I hope that is always the case

[@rollofthedice]

this band has and always will kick ass. And if you put a hockey mask on Mike he would be Jason Voorhees!

[@yukimushu]

He "stole" it? How the fuck can you "steal" a rhythm?! Yes, the rhythms are slightly similar. But the two songs are completely different. The same kind of thing has been happening for hundreds of years in music.

[@lynnchatlin2396]

bad ass jam that's why I took ofg

[@haymaker710]

I was there.

[@FatGuyNaLilShirt]

after listening to sad vacation, youre right. but it sounds like an older blues number called 'fuck off and get over yourself, no rock is original' or something like that : )

[@Cvatl]

im gonna play this when i quit school

[@dennisvanessen6072]

WAUW !!!! who will take away my ball and chain ?!?

[@Moose6340]

Damn but that man can write a song.

[@gortutay]

In this song the ball and chain is about the chains of heroin addiction...what do yall know about it?

[@jerrygsheldon]

3 dislikes - Really?????? Social D is awesome

[@ludehead]

@beautifulsarah100 Well said...

[@susanmonroe4248]

Don't get yourself a "Ball & Chain" and you will be okay........

[@jaramoneja]

@GymFloozie Husker du?

[@lpukas]

Any one know what kind of bass that is?

[@lakeplacid1661]

3:58 >ORGASMO!

[@mjverostek1278]

He looks like elderly Steven Segal.

[@84jbones]

he sounds like cartman when he sings 10 years

[@atomicrobottikiband]

Looks like your average Fender Precision to me.

[@nitafretwell8480]

'I' love Fender,Distortion pedal on max!

[@benjaminbarrera214]

My first bass was a Precision and after 25 years, I have had no reason to change.

[@ShadowSam13]

Mike Ness sings with so much emotion... He's fucking amazing

[@Cvatl]

hahha 5:55 wtf was that but its an awesome song

[@unable1234]

@GymFloozie isn't that what punk is all about? lol

[@willyboyable]

[@agungfirmansyah9662]

Superman is dead - Lady Rose

[@lukmanhakims4210]

[@sumtinlikethat]

[@yomommasofine]

[@GoingToPasalacqua12]

[@aniixbaby]

EPIC band...But my god....the years took a toll on this poor man.....but i bet it can kick any of these new shitty poor excuse to call themselves if bads and "music artist" ass any day....

[@lexusry]

WE WENT TO THEIR CONCERT AND WE LEFT RIGHT AWAY. ANYONE WHO SMOKE CIGARETTE WILL LOSE THEIR VOICE WHEN THEY AGE AND IT 'S SCIENTIFIC FACT.

[@madelinelugo8871]

He looks terrible...

[@alexanderarmstrong5306]

Love this bands and love this song! But this performance was Terrible!! They're much better than this...

[@Snappingttturtlle]

Get out of here

[@lexusry]

LOOK LIKE NUMBA69 IS HAVING A BAD DAY. YOU NEED TO GET LAY BAD ,DUDE. ANYONE WHO STRUGGLE TO SING AND GASPING FOR AIR WILL RUIN THE SONG.IF YOU COMPARE THE ORIGINAL SONG AND THAN COMPARE IT AT THE CONCERT, IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
