Social Distortion - Mike Ness gets pissed at beer throwing idiot

Mike Ness gets pissed at some idiot throwing beer on stage at Green Bay concert 08/08/10. You can see the stage hand cleaning up behind Ness.

[@MikeAndersonvinyloldies]

Drunks make everything worse...

[@mikekomalley]

I've seen Ness do this many times. This is a band I've watched and even toured with for decades. Ness hates people throwing shit at him. Even if he's not really going to fight, at least he's got the right message: Don't come to their show and disrespect them. Fuck off! They didn't ride a tour bus for 6 weeks to stand their quietly and let a coward throw something from the shadows. Ya he's only about 5'10" but he's not a wuss. Lee Ving does the same thing, seen that too.

[@Dreamster399]

God bless Mike Ness.

[@danwright718]

My bass teacher once saw a band and there was some 13 year old prick throwing stuff at them, so the lead singer dragged him up on stage, stood aside and let the audience throw everything they could at the kid lol

[@jbarrier3506]

HA the right way to do it

[@gauche5800]

That sounds pretty harsh but what are you gonna do

[@edenvandenheuvel5094]

I remember this concert ant it was the best ever! I was the little girl in the end of the video and I was only like 8. 😂😂 but Social Distortion was my favorite band and I love watching them! But Mike had a great reaction 😂😂😂

[@FargoMarc]

Smart dad having you wear ear-plugs! I saw them in 2007, and Mike saw a little boy in the crowd and he had him come up on stage and introduced him to everyone, ahd he said "You have the coolest dad ever. He took you to see Social D....on a school night!"

[@joshuavandenheuvel4208]

@@FargoMarc I was that dad... Awesome show and a great educational experience for my kid. lmao

[@javiercarrillo8208]

What happen Mike. You used to get beer thrown at you and spit at back in the 80’s. Now it’s wrong. I guess we grow up. Long live punk rock!!!

[@crossbones2776]

Why do these people always claim social d is not punk rock. The only punks I see is the people who do not appreciate good music. Labels suck who care if it is punk rock or not its just good music in my opinion

[@lux_satani]

Social distortion is punk. They play whatever the hell they want

[@crossbones2776]

@@lux_satani True words my friend and everyone knows its more a attitude Mike has the attitude. Some say its a lifestyle but there is a attitude to the lifestyle.

I wouldn't fuck with mike ever that dude can fight

[@Backup218]

Mikes a tough son of a bitch no doubt

[@30dogsdown]

I was told they had played there previously by a friend that follows them. They play in Milwaukee from time to time. This was the 1st time I ever saw them.

[@mmckissack2379]

Whats the name of that place in Reseda, I think they called it the country club, the first time they played Ball And Chain there, Mike introduced it as Take Away...and there was a Les Paul sitting center stage before they came out, it was a bright color that seemed to be goldish redish, just bright and when they came out, it was Denis's guitar, Mike's was black. Hmmm

[@briannasturgeon8923]

Omg mike is literally the mos epic fucking person alive!!

[@andrebastos5635]

Mike is the best

[@issaacxxx6202]

If it was Axle Rose, the whole tour would've been cancelled

[@Fackus_Fackus]

True.

[@badbadluck1338]

This was the third time I saw Social D play at that casino. They haven't been back. Anyone else realize that?

[@30dogsdown]

@brucrufan I saw your vid. You were much closer to the idiot. I saw a couple of beers fly up on the stage but didn't realize what was happening at first when the song ended. I was waiting for a big ending and we got it. LOL. Other than that, it was a good show. My first SD show, I play in a SD cover band from Wausau called Cool Hand. Had a really good time there.

[@lowPaycheck]

Nice going to whoever shot this.... And to hewon- its not quite that simple... its much tougher these days for him to go after someone... even if they earned it.... At any rate, this was classic.

[@Nigelxman]

It's important to look tough and play the part , eh Mike? lol

[@DudeLongcouch]

Well, he was in the news a few years back for beating the shit out of some guy who came to a show and tried to mess with him. He backs himself up. Mike Ness is one of the last remaining old school punk rockers. If you think you're going to fuck with him at a show and get away with it, you're wrong.

[@DudeLongcouch]

@Israel Kelley Lol ok dude.

[@chadwickwright2833]

Sober ppl who've fought to get sober don't like having alcohol thrown at them. Including this guy. Might get your drunk dumbass kicked!!

[@joeywitt7129]

WHEN I WAS A KID I USED TO LOVE THIS BAND EARLY 80's BUT I OWNED A SKATESHOP FOR YEARS IN BAKERSFIELD SOLD TIX AND MEET GEET AND HE REALLY IS FULL OF HIMSELF TO BAD NOW COME ON HATERS GIVE IT TO ME

[@daveg4236]

4 years and nothing. Because you are nothing

[@TheHurdyGurdyMan.]

Yeah I’ve heard Mike Ness has a huge ego

[@anaranjadisimo]

he is a bitch, never got out of that "im sober now" phase, just like that Depeche Mode whacko..

[@30dogsdown]

@tylerrulezd00d yeah, it's hard to say. In the end, everyone had something to talk about. It was my 1st SD show and I had a great time. Hope you did too.

[@socaldazed6076]

I've seen SD like 15 times, Mike always has shit with someone in the crowd

[@darrenp1549]

I've seen 'em 22 times and Mike has NEVER had an issue. Maybe your crowd is just a huge bag of dicks?

[@imvandenh]

Darren P I was at this show, I am in the video actually, smiling and nodding to my brother at the very end. Also, have seen Social D more than 20 times and like you, never saw him get like this. The dude who threw the beer was pissed tight before the show even started. There was no smoking in the casino complex so I ran into him outside looking to bum smokes off people. Total douchbag.

[@decadepasts]

@W44Y Tell that to the guitar player who is kicking your ass outside the show because you fried his amp with your beer because you can't control yourself. One of the biggest complaints from punk bands from the eighties was that sometimes punk crowds had the wrong idea about how bands should be treated. In Europe audiences were known for spitting on bands but that shit came to an end real quick here in the states. Try spitting on Henry Rollins and telling him it's cool cause it's punk ha

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

In this situation the bands crew/security grab the idiot and beat the living crap out of him in the alley

[@pidamospizza9280]

I was scaried AF if I was "that guy"I mean an ex-con who knows how to box is pointing angry at me

I seen Mike Ness run his mouth and get choked before 😆🤣 I love the band and the music but he learned don't run your mouth with out your body guards around lol

[@Tylerjamesnall]

@W44Y i agree bud. my band took no prisoners. only hostages...who were shortly dispatched afterwards. hahaha

[@thebarrochannel]

I like Mike when he is honest and I love Social D. But I know he is not as tough as he says he is, and Im pretty sure he cant fight.

[@bflo1000]

He's in to boxing, so my guess is that he can, at least to some extent. Plus life on the road is hard. It takes fortitude & attrition to keep going. These things temper you.

[@starlord9956]

thebarrochannel have you seen his arms?

[@thebarrochannel]

Yes. No disrespect , but those arms look flabby as hell. Plus, he is small, and his body is not athletic. I am a trained fighter, not trying to sound arrogant, but you kind of can tell if someone can fight just by looking at them. 90% of the time youre correct.

[@starlord9956]

Like hes over 50 years old.

[@frankieruesga1331]

thebarrochannel Mike ness can kick ass he trains in boxing look it up

[@30dogsdown]

@tylerrulezd00d Although I can't say it was your friend or not, the video clearly shows the stage hand picking up 2 beer glasses and wiping up the floor. I play in bands and have played big stages also. When things come at the stage, you tend to know where it's coming from. On the other hand, with all the bright lights maybe Ness thought it was him and in reality it was the person next to him. Maybe you?...lol. There were 4 cops talking to him outside after the incident. Don't know what about.

[@angelabrice2010]

Hahah! i WAS at this concert! That guy walked right past me when he was getting thrown out with a "cocky ass" grin on his face! Lmao! I was wondering what the hell happened! =)~

[@b2l4evr]

@W44Y well dude you dont throw beer at a stage, you throw it within the audience

[@swancss3097]

Rockabilly

[@jrmarrero96]

GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!

[@fingersalh1]

it's not punk to have shit thrown at you. that was a common misconception started by the press. i mean come on would you throw something at someone like henry rollins or something. no cause if u go to a concert u want to hear music. plus henry rollins could probably fuck up most peoples day. it's normal to be pissed at having shit thrown at you. the real tradegy is someone wasted a perfectly good beer.

[@jakejorgenson9189]

yeah sure maybe thats fine when he was 17 but mike is somewhere around 47 in this video and what close to 50 year old wants to get beer thrown at them? yeah that was acceptable around 30 years ago..

[@samhnn1]

Can someone explain why SD gets a lot of hate or Mike Ness himself? I've been seeing a lot of hate comments on my video spree of them lol

[@vaporosoez]

Samherman they get shit cos Mike actually stands for something and calls out bigots. We have been dealing with bigoted assholes coming to their shows to pick fights aince the 80s.

[@preservethe80s62]

Mainly because he's a hypocrite and a shell of what he used to be. Also, most people don't like being preached at by PC-Bros, accused of racism, and so on.

[@BayviewFinch]

Looking at the audience and band, everyone was probably just jealous that there was someone in the room with enough energy to throw a beer.

[@theunknowngamer5477]

I could post a comment about NICKELBACK and the lame audiences of Canada...you stole the magic.

[@simpl404]

@b2l4evr well, there is no such thing as Audience & stage. The audience can be on stage and can define a good or a bad show. So what are u talking about? How did u come up with this RULE anyway!!! as far as everyone is safe and nobody is to be offended why should we be limited to any rules when having a good time? Why should you show more respect to a band than other people in the same show? THERE are NO masters Mike is a favourite, but there r no excuses for him being a jerk on stage.

[@NMCFU3]

who told you punk is about having a good voice?

[@pissbaby7306]

KERM mike ness has a good voice

[@claychason9502]

Its a punk show. Only the bands allowed to be punk?

[@hewonyew]

Relax Mike. I love SD as much as anything, but I hate when they stand behind ten 6'4" security guards and act like they are being held back. Mike wasn't gonna do shit. But I do agree that people who throw stuff on stage are asses.
