Social Distortion-Highway 101

Social Distortion

[@CaliSurf25]

Good old Social Distortion. Representing California since day 1. They are true legends.

[@drummerbuzz]

One of the most vital bands in music. Mike Ness writes some of the most amazing no bullshit music and lyrics. If you can't relate to his songs, you're probably dead.

[@larryboy8821]

I was there too. That first band was a little weak. The Hangmen with the dude playing steel slide were incredible. I was at the rail, I thought it was a small show then I looked back and the place was jumping!! Good times, good music!!

[@stephenbozer5106]

Love the 25 hour day Mike mentions at the end. Not good at math or history, but a god at rock and roll. My favorite band since the day I first heard them in 1991.

[@speakerface]

This is the greatest band ever. Period. This is the only band I was willing to fly all the way to LA to see. They may have changed completely and utterly since "Another State of Mind," but they are absolutely incredible.

[@newwavekitty]

One of the greatest moments of my life (I've had so many) but I got to see Social D in San Luis Obispo and then two days later saw the Ramones in Santa Barbara. Mike was so hot then. We've all aged but it's great we can still rock. Punk's not Dead!

[@assholitis]

Amen. Mike and Social D are one of those rare bands that seemed to have remained true to their values and beliefs over the years. All hail the D.

[@DukatorDevanemn]

it really is.... and Mike's gonna knows about what he's singin'.. me's a 40 year old father too... love SD from scratch, but this song is one of the Best they ever did...

[@lowPaycheck]

This is the best song they ever did, & that's saying something..

[@kerrvida]

its not just the range of voice that makes a good singer, i like this guys sound b.t.w.

[@jtslmn720]

^ hell yea dude... my absoulte favorite concert was seeing them at the house of blues cleveland in September

[@kenoov]

Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains..yeaahhh Mike Ness=God

[@supafreak0385]

[@thebondoman]

This is a pretty good performance....gotta love the sound of the Gibson guitars they use

[@Drope182]

comon' bro just sit and listen to best's orange county pure rock music with soul YEAH!! long love to rock n' roll thanks mike to keep it posible !!

[@assholitis]

Haha. You said it! Mike Ness is the undisputed King of Orange County Punk.

[@Rockyinlp]

I had the chance to see them at the House of Blues in Anaheim. One of the best shows that I have been to. SD tore that shit up and the fights in the pit made it better lol. thought it was weird though that people were pitting to SD

[@JohnnyCoolMusic]

He is to punkrock what Brian Setzer is to rock n' roll.... The king! They both gain weight and loss some hair but.. They will for ever rule !!!! Master Mike Ness :)

[@uzirider751]

im from ventura county and go to school in the oc big difference but ventura is a lot more laid back. every part of this song is true when i drive 101

[@SixTenVisuals]

Mike ain't missed too many meals...haha. Better too much food than too much drugs tho.

[@Ishbu101]

lawl... come on ...he's been rockin since the 70's...cut the guy some slack. Lawl.

[@PorkinsTheWhite]

I think I saw the same band in Fresno. I just went to the bar and drank till they were done.

[@texasoutlawss]

all true dude social distortion is the definition of punk the perfect classic band

[@RetroSoulGirl]

This is punk rock, dude. Expect the unexpected.

[@mazatlanmike]

Love this song ....this fucking song rocks

[@Drope182]

listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain, i believe in love now, with all of theyr joys and pains...!

[@elkinrojas]

Como para llorar !!!

[@Jenniaaaa]

WORSHIP! WORSHIP!

[@CrimsonDeathBed]

I realize no one has commented on this lately, Mike has been boxing lately and is in great shape, this is clearly an old video

[@MarginWalker]

+CrimsonDeathBed lately? 5 times a week for like 16 plus years.

[@0utlaw13]

Whether Mike Ness has put on some weight or not... he has persevere all this time. One of the true from the heart rock n' roll. Blending punk music with rockabilly and old country. Who cares how he looks right now so what if he's balding it's the music that matters. Social D still puts out quality music compare to what's the in trendy bull crap being played out there.

[@kerrvida]

lol he just asked a question

[@asend007]

These boys are truth.

[@zeke7777]

to brodydanger - Very well put...

[@75hellcat]

Man, Mike Ness has a gut now! He is still fine as hell, but he is aging! POOR MAN!!

[@zeke7777]

Well put bro....

[@chefmichael05]

For anyone who says that this is a ripoff of Taking Back Sunday or any of the other skinny ass emo bands, you're surely mistaken. Go tell Mike Ness what you're posting and see what he says. This band is TRUE punk/rockabilly. I just saw them for the 10th time in Cincinnati and was BLOWN away. They are the true gangsters of rock.

[@TracyZajdel]

Iistenin to the boulevard.......................

[@elbobov13]

r.i.p. brent liles

[@satch1151]

I saw Social D at a backyard party around 1982 and to think that Mike is still rockin, he may have gained some weight but I know my fat ass has also!

[@Norule192]

Better at a funeral though :)

[@BrodyDanger]

Mike is aging, and has a gut now. Thank God... he's been making the rest of us look bad for so damn long with his perfect hair line and whatnot... Oh wait... that's probably because he's one of the coolest mother fuckers to ever walk the Earth. Johnny, Hank, Merle, Mike... that's how it goes.

[@FranciscoCasarotti]

agreed.

[@dovosskate1]

yeah this song sound like country but its cool

[@dudemanbrocuz]

since when has true punk been about how you look anyways? Ness is the man.

[@2151991]

o love this song ....but the frontman is having drugs !

[@Otherien]

God I miss Fresno

[@dacribgansta]

haha thank god he's not wearing eyeliner in this vid. social distortion is good music but mike ness is a nut doing ads for PETA now.

[@SoupEater32]

You guys realize that they're just fucking with you... I dont think they're serious at all... They just wanna start shit.

[@job153]

Hmm....first time in a while I've seen him without the eyeliner..... Probably the only person I know that can wear it and still look like he'll fucking rip you in half.

[@assholitis]

I think it's just a sign of the times. If you think about it, a lot of the "grunge" bands would have probably been labeled differently had they come out 15 years later. Smashing Pumpkins would probably be called "emo." Nirvana would probably be called "screamo." It's just another way of record companies, the media, and dumbass trendy kids trying to label music.

[@olaf200w]

love this song , but drummer is just killing it, too fast and slamming it killing the magic of it

[@nukecat]

ok ...so he doesnt look as pretty as he use to be. how do you think were all going to look like in a few years his music is all that matters look at elvis you didnt abandon him cause of a few banana and peanut butter sandwiches deep fried in lard did you lol mike ness is the man!!!!! you keep rockin baby your music fucking rules man awesome i love this guys work and his tats are even more cool

[@elbobov13]

hes not that big....this song rules and hes given more to music than 90% of people who ever picked up a guitar.

[@TomFromJersey]

You have to be from OC to "get" Social D? Riiight. Whatever.

[@pillarsofserpents]

doesnt seem like a very energetic crowd. great song tho.

[@CaroEoy]

(L)

[@MistyTheGreat]

Wow. The vocalist used to be attractive, anyway.
