Social Distortion - Machine Gun Blues (Acoustic)

Social Distortion played a five song acoustic set at The Crocodile 2/13/2011.

[@syke5]

Man his voice is so fucking awesome, more now than ever. so bluesy and raspy from abuse and smoke. its intense.

[@1RealKoolHand]

Social Distortion isn't just a great punk band. They're a great rock and roll band!!! They have so much more depth then most folks recognize. I think Mike Ness is a legend just like Lemmy was!

[@buildingyourbrand7832]

1RealKoolHand I can’t imagine anyone arguing your comment 👌

[@rianjohnsonsux4344]

100%👍🏻👍🏻

[@onotsamada]

30 decades of listening to music and this is now one of my all time favourites. Superb performance.

[@thezombie7839]

[@NathanRandell]

[@roardog6451]

Cool story dracula

[@gunnergrunt69]

Social Distortion-making the accordion cool again!

[@MrZob666]

I'm french... and I hate accordion... except in Social D :-)

[@bolerkins]

Flogging Molly does a great job with it !

[@klondike316]

That is freakin' awesome! And lead guitar replaced by accordion - nice!

[@codyt6250]

That bass drum suitcase hahaha love it and the song

[@paolocosmo6310]

I can't believe it-every song I listen to is better than the last one-this band is amazing!

[@zombiedenmark]

I love this version

[@vaporosoez]

@SkitztSpork Completely agree! Mike Ness---- real since the beginning of Social D and still evolving. Can always count on him to make every song a new experience to listen to! Thank God for Mike Ness! Would love to do a tally of folks who swear that Mike Ness has saved their lives on numerous occasions. He is someone to believe in... a rare thing.

[@cfm872]

Social D. is the best and always will be from here to the end of time! Heros will be remembered, but legends will never be forgotten!

[@leftcoaster67]

[@reverberates99]

A class version, just keep coming back to it time and time again :)

[@zombiedenmark]

Me too! They should really do an all-acoustic album sometime

[@ertonyrn]

will never happens... kinda defeats the intended purpose of their "genre".

[@zombiedenmark]

It might, but I'd still like it ;)

The latest album should be re-released as an acoustic cd. Granted... There isn't a single Mike Ness/Social D song that isn't incredible in acoustic.

[@michelecostanzo137]

Well I'm a gangster 1934, junkies, winos, pimps and whores And all you men, women and kids, best get out the way I just left your town took all your loot Bought a pink carnation and a pin-striped suit Hopped up the V-8 Ford in some two-tone shoes And I'm already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow I got the machine gun blues I'll be out of here for the break of dawn I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar Gotta stop and bury the cash, then get some more There's only one thing on my mind That's make it across that old state line With all the hell of the avenging bullets Waiting there for me And I'm already gone, I left the path of pure destruction I've got the machine gun blues Already gone, my life will soon be through I've got the machine gun blues I'm public enemy, number one I'm sorry for all the things that I've done If indeed we do cross paths, it's nothing personal And I'm already gone, I left a trail of devastation I got the machine gun blues Already gone, my life will soon be through I got the machine gun blues
