Social Distortion is an underrated gem. This music is rock punk blues country and classical all in one.

Strange how all the greats have classics they wrote in the beginning of their careers and never got any better but just kind of stayed the same, but damn, Social Distortion just keeps cranking out the best of the best.

Cant believe this was in 2011, seems like yesterday when my science teacher showed me Social D. Ill be rockin with these guys till my end.

[@1RealKoolHand]

I think Mike Ness and Social Distortion deserve to be mentioned in the same category as Lemmy and Motorhead! Rock legends in their own right!!!!

[@gregharmon6535]

I halfway agree, no one will ever compare remotely close to Lemmy but it's like the 2 forks in the Rock 'N' Roll road, Motörhead took Rock 'N' Roll and plugged it into A metal band and the other side Social D took Rock 'N' Roll and plugged it into A Punk band

[@gabrielarchambault8034]

ScatmanScotty91 except that the song has existed wayy longer than the show .. and idk soa at first was good but I find that it became too much of a biker "soap opera" after

[@ScatmanScotty91]

Yes i understand that it was probably out way before the show, but the scene that this is on is just awesome and after season 4 or 5 it turned into a grittier show

Well I’m a gangster 1934 Junkies, Winos, Pimps & 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 pinstripe suit, a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes And I’m already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow I've 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, got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more There’s only one thing on my mind, that's making it across that ol' state line, Without a hail of avenging bullets, waiting there for me And I’m already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm public enemy #1 I'm sorry for the things that I've done If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues

Full lyrics because I know you wanna sing along, too: 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 pinstripe suit, a hopped-up V8 Ford, and some two-tone shoes. And I’m already gone. I left a pool of blood and sorrow... I've 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. Got to stop and bury the cash and get some more. There’s only one thing on my mind. That's making it across that ol' state line, without a hail of avenging bullets, waiting there for me. And I’m already gone. I've left a 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 #1. I'm sorry for the things that I've done! If indeed we do cross paths, it's nothing personal. And I’m already gone. I've left a trail of devastation... I've got the Machine Gun Blues Already gone, my life will soon be through... I've got the Machine Gun Blues

Saw them last night at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Great show. I was a litlle bummed that they did not play 'Still Alive' and 'Diamond in the Rough' but the show was still great. I think Mike is at the point where he has to lengthen the shows because Social D's catalogue of music has gotten so big that they have know other choice. This is no longer a one hour in your face punk band. It has gotten way bigger than that and deservedly so.

[@rjplamf61]

@theclash4eva The thing that makes Mike Ness/Social Distortion a kind of enigma is that Ness' songwriting/music/stage show is getting better as he ages. Most great singer/songwriters, for example Dylan, Springsteen etc. created their best work at a very young age. It's the total opposite with Mike Ness. He pretty much started to hit his stride with Between Heaven and Hell and he was in his late twenties by then.
