Social Distortion - Ring Of Fire (Live)

[@shushu313]

drummer is kickin ass!!!!

[@dathorndike4908]

I was expecting him to punch a hole in the head of his snare he was hitting so hard.

[@devilsoffspring5519]

Everyone gushes over Mike Ness, but it seems to me that the drummer is the real badass in this show :)

[@SammyRuiz]

Devil's Offspring Chuck Biscuits is the man!

[@matty2x302]

bflo1000 He was the drummer in Samhain correct ????

[@matty2x302]

bflo1000 I am an always have been an original Misfits fan, matter of fact I was fortunate to see em in early 80’s ( but now I’m old ) when Doyle first joined the band in Philadelphia two or three times. Never much on Danzig’s other stuff. But hey we all have different opinions & tastes right, and yes it’s a small world out there man, especially in the music industry.

[@matty2x302]

bflo1000 Sorry ???

[@matty2x302]

bflo1000 No biggie I didn’t even notice, Small shit brother don’t sweat it 👍🏻

Until my dying days - I will always be a punk... A loser. A misfit.... A Rebel... And I stand, PROUD. You tell, them, Mike...

So cal, 80s-90s: Present; Punk, greaser/rockabilly, odd cogg, never did good with authority. "Always hit the biggest motherfucker there." We're the kind of people who don't know a shit load of living folks... But we is who we is.

Punk = Loser? No idea where that came from. I always though of Punk as rebellion against apathy, the apathy that poisons your mind when you're forced to live a normal life without feeling into it. 13-14 years of tedious drudgery in school, 50-60 years of brutally hard work, maybe consume some products and produce some babies, and die knowing that the sole, ultimate purpose of your entire life was to make other people rich. Punk is about trying to give a fuck anyway, when the normal life that's been shoved up your ass since you were little just doesn't cut it for you. That's how I see it, anyway.

[@kllbll85]

They'll rock from the grave! Just turned 50, still love ' em!

[@mikaelasonia9468]

Don't mind me. Just sitting here rockin' my 1990 Ball and Chain tour shirt and banging my head.

Damn this is solid punk, love Social D so much!

[@kevinharrington2078]

Fukin pure energy,,, June and Johnny I'm sure approved

[@maliciousspirit7081]

Such a great cover

[@MrChristopher1957]

I mixed these guys in Sacramento in the 80's at the Crest Theater. As I recall it was a three band show. (Misfits and ....?) By the time Social D. came on, the place was fucking berserk. Security resorted to night sticks. I had 7 foot tall fill stacks to hit the crowd in front of the stage, and these guys would fight their way onto the stage, a 6 foot rise, scramble up the sides of the amp racks onto the tops of the fill and dive off into the crowd. There was a shitload of blood on the floor by the time THAT show was over. The mosh pit was pretty much the whole main floor. One of the most insane club shows I've ever worked or gigged in. Awesome.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

I'm a lifelong Johnny Cash fan and I approve this message.

[@red_icee962]

Actually June wrote this song

[@ShmuckOnWheels]

Mike is channeling Elmer Fudd on this one! Love it :)

[@mordecaijones1388]

Ok so it wasn’t me losin my mind, but then again the thought of Elmer bangin out this as he hunts down Bugs Bunny has me stoked!!!

[@harrytruax5195]

OMG! I was thinking of the Robin Williams imitation of Elmer Fudd! "Firewa!". Sowry folks, that is vaowee terwible of me.

Chuck Biscuits was Glen Danzigs first drummer on his first solo album. Absolute beast on drums.

[@Jasonsaunders-yy9fx]

Sad part is chuck said he was making more money off of DOA royalties than his entire time with danzig !

Social distancing? No, I like Social distortion!

4:03...5:33... they seemed quite into it., as I would have been had I been lucky enought ot be there. The only time I saw them I was stuck up top in a sports arena. Great video of a great show. Don't judge the audience on how the applause was mixed into this soundtrack. I'm sure everyone who was there was very pleased.

[@robertrosales2738]

Kool s@#t brotha! Thanks Mike for all the great music..

[@chrisfurius]

Did Mike have a mouthful of Novocain? Sounds horrible. Thank god for the stellar drumming at least.

[@jo6731]

Song was written by June Carter. Johnny only had the idea of the mariachi horns but the same chord progression.

[@steveking1037]

He DID say "written by an outlaw's WIFE..." before his dorky "frauleins in black panties" bit.

Johnny Cash would approve‼️

[@red_icee962]

June would too! She wrote the song!

[@beavis408]

Social D is f***ing epic.

[@Jw071]

Chuck Biscuits is a legendary punk drummer if you’ve been paying attention - I think he was the original DOA drummer, played in Black Flag before they broke up, I think he worked for like the Descendants, then Danzig recruited him for the first few albums.

[@darrenp1549]

First time I saw em was with this lineup!!!

[@Rickswars]

Johnny Cash' the man in Black' is the fore father of rock and punk music.

[@WarKid-ut8mx]

Actually it was June that wrote that song 0:56

[@ppanspaul]

Thanks Johnny!

[@danielnewhouse5044]

I remember now, I started singing this to Marla K Mayfield on the bus and cut off rather quickly. I lost out to a fan of Ho Chi Minh. Rocks. Free ballin'

[@zethraelofteldrassil3149]

Seeing them in August!

[@killval849]

This crossover sound is what MADE them as popular as they are, and didn't fall the same fate as many contemporaries such as Pistols, Misfits, Germs etc...

What the hell... I thought this was Johnny Cash at first, maybe I should read before I click.

[@diegopaimsouza]

hahahahahahahahaha god, this one was good. No, unfortuonally, Green day is not "anti-american", they have no auto-tune in their songs and there's nothing about hip hop. It's a great power pop/pop rock music, their lyrics are great. I bet you didin't hear any record by Green Day, just saw some pictures of Billie Joe on the internet and started talking shit about them, ironacly it's the same kind of people that go other places saying "I don't care about the visual" and things like that.
