Social Distortion-Ring Of Fire

SxDx

[@FargoMarc]

Saw them last night in Fargo, ND, they were AWESOME! I've been listening to SxDx since 1985 and have never been disappointed.

[@1LoWu]

Mike Ness-Living Legend!Long live for Social Distortion.

[@spacebuffalo]

Johnny Cash is the reason I like (old) country, and this is an awesome cover of a great song!!!

[@AirelonTrading]

They OPENED with this in Detroit a few years back. It was awesome. I was actually worried for my safety as State Theater just went NUTSO. Couldn't believe they opened with it. Awesome.

[@Mistertbones]

Excellent cover of an excellent song. Yes, they indeed do country music songs. Listen to Ness's solo albums.

[@Stammheimrokka]

RIP Johnny Cash... and thanks 4 tihe masterpiece of music

[@heavensnorthernlight]

Just discovered this band...totaly some serious power sauce.

[@rytterfolk]

This is how it should be song. I always felt something were missing - untill this version. Thank you - also for others of your songs. Susanne

[@nightshade7206]

SD is one of the first original punk bands, they've been doing this since long before many you us were born. Trust me he did not have a cold. They are in fact a legend in their own right.

[@MrLoomboy]

Yes Yes Yes Cash would be real proud of this version! Thanks for the posting

[@taraspikefan]

He didn't record it-he sang it for a local radio station with Social Distortion. I couldn't recall where I'd heard it for the life of me until my husband and best friend reminded me. They were listening to the interview with Johnny Cash and Social Distortion with me when they started singing. It was almost two decades ago that we heard it, and it's a shame it wasn't recorded.

[@taraspikefan]

Johnny Cash really loved this version of the song, and he did a cover of Mike Ness' (of Social Distortion) "Ball and Chain". Social Distortion has been around since 1978.

[@chauvin84]

Ive seen them live and have all their cds. lemme tell you, this is an off night. Mike Ness is the best punk vocalist of all time. The music i liked, but the vocals made me fall in love.

[@punkcat77]

Awesome cover! Saw them a few days ago, they blew me away! Legends.

[@FrozenUSA]

Other than the original, this is the best version of the song I have ever heard! Social Distortion rocks!

[@priestesspadfoot11]

This is the best Cash cover I've heard.

[@FordX4mom]

This is an awesome tribute to JC!! Thank you!!

[@artfan101]

Social D does covers as well as original material. Also they are as good live as they are on CD. Such a good band.

[@outlawspywv]

The man in black Mr. John R. Cash and Social D for the win nuff said!!

[@TresHogie]

The best band is right here. there will always be social distortion because when mike ness dies there will be somebody who is willing to step up to the role of greatest punk rocker ever. it will take a while for that person to get to the point of greatness Mike is at right now but whoever is willing shall be known as a man with the heart and soul of a true punk.

[@therealatomiccat]

I watched this thinking I would be mad and hate it. But it's amazingly cool. Johnny, I believe, would be honored. He was a rebel.

[@GwaiiEagle1]

June Carter cranks out a another hit. She was a good looking woman and the real talent in this duo. No wonder Johnny Walked The Line for Her

[@SlapHappyJesus]

"I fell into a burning ring of fiya' ", heh, Mike's awesome.

[@flyslaier]

perfect song, perfect band this cover is just perfect!

[@MrAtoZ-un3fk]

Always likes this song! These guys rock.

[@samthebeast00835]

saw them in quebec before billy talent this summer...you shouldve seen the crowd when they played this song....it was crazy!!!

[@Chickenhawk9932]

Johnny Cash and punk - a great mix.

[@Vukedin]

I saw SD like 2 years ago at a festival, along with the Deftones, as the co- headliners. They fucking rocked.

[@LAPLEOPEREZ]

its very rare that i like a cover by anyone, even the beatles my favorite band but this one is good

[@silkcity19]

Great cover by A great band of A great song by A great man

[@SonicX2KhSora48]

this song rocks! thanks for uploading =P

[@Satanya6]

Best cover song ever in the history of music. Thanks for sharing! xoxo ~S

[@palesurfer1972]

[@serge263]

this version may not be as great as the original but it is what got me into listening to music

[@readaryan]

good cover...luv it

[@MatteoTremolada]

Good song! Social Distortion rocks!

[@AaronBank]

Ladies and Jentlemen..Mike NESS and the CREW the are gorgeous!!! YEAHHHHHHHHH

[@MrAlanj51]

This is a brilliant take on Ring of Fire.

[@Mike1967b]

Seeing them tomorrow night! Woot!

[@skaman125]

god damn....that was awesome....

[@imatragety]

HAHAHAHAAHHH!!!! 0:18 Paul Blart mall cop! awesome song

[@oldphoque]

Oh c`mon Cash shriners. This is a tasteful rendition. The studio version is near perfection. I like the Wall Of Voodoo version too but, this is freakin greatness. Cash just made a song that will never stop being covered. At leat in our time. I just see no end. If punks respect Cash that much it should tell you something. Just embrace it till a butcher comes along. This is a classy cover.

[@IrishAmerican1234]

my god, a group of gods doing a song written by a god..... this is fucking awesome!

[@Leftydog1972]

Ness in concert refers to Cash as the Godfather of Punk and Punk as not a music style but an attitude. Thus the connection to the song.

[@blemonade]

Awesome tribute.

[@MegaDog500]

this shit rocks,johnny would love it

[@ilikmetal]

luv it,nice vid dude!!!!!!!!

[@MaximusParanidia]

he totally did...it was amazing, i was like OMFG!!!!

[@Cjhvsop]

[@SteveNBunk]

[@gabrymail]

[@bAtesy88]

Killed it to be honest.

[@twisten656]

[@TheNegro0607]

cant belive a pinchi guero and his band pay a great homage to a legend

[@kousebandslangen]

This is the way Cash-songs should be played!

[@Kellerwerks]

@theLightHouseLady24 Cash didn't originally write it, but it wasn't an American folk song either. It was actually co-written by Johnny's wife June Carter and Merle Kilgore. The first version of it was recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter. Johnny recorded it about five months later, and he married June four years later.

[@GorillaInella]

there is nothing better than social d, but i'll check it out

[@crs78]

SOCIAL DISTORTION FOREVER!! r.i.p THE MAN THE LEGEND JOHNNY CASH!

[@Banquom]

I live in the northeast of the US and It seems every tour gets canceled here lately.and I'm not getting any younger I've gone from Sick boy too Sick grandfather listening to SD. So I hope some one gets them here ,before i have to strap a V-twin to my wheelchair to go see them!!!!!!! Hope you make it to the USA it's a great place.

[@gabrymail]

I went down down down and the flames!!!! went higher!! :DDD

[@mnnole]

I think Johnny would appreciate this cover

[@bjrockstar4563]

AWSOME

[@geardaddies1992]

JC would be proud!! Johnny Cash that is.

[@StupidSmirk]

I don't love the band, but I love this cover, so yes.

[@GwaiiEagle1]

What Johnny did add were the Horn parts. That was his. And the way he put himself into the songs he sings. That can't be lip synched

[@thebigsmuz]

@jseelig4330 Why wouldn't he like it? Keep in mind, Cash is a guy who covered NIN in his final years. He wasn't a music snob, or bound simply to Country. He loved good, powerful, emotional music, whoever it's done by. I have no doubt that he enjoyed this cover.

[@therealshard]

hahahhahahha don't get me started hahahahha

[@chpshply]

Agreed! I've seen both SD and WOV live, and love them both. But as far as punk covers of ROF, the WOV studio version is epic. Their live version I've seen on youtube does not come close. Get the studio version, turn it up and close your eyes. From the jolting intro to the chilling guitar solo at the end it takes ROF to an extreme. SD's version is also great, but I like their original stuff better.

[@RockyMountainHorseEU]

Nice!

[@klecan8]

all version of this song that i have heard good

[@welanm3891]

sweet cover

[@aggyuvf]

Good tribute to an original punk

[@bunnyhuntress]

great

[@AaronBank]

MIKE NESS is the MAN

[@fabixyard]

johnny is fucking glad and shooting his guns nowhere because his song sounds like a damn thunder!!

[@llanafreak44]

i agree, i knoticed that on the orange county live video

[@spiderman3222000]

this song rulez

[@kurt6447]

Its true, this was originally written by social d. Johnny cash stole it from them in 1985 at a recording studio in mississippi

[@Larsvontor]

It reminds me of getting married. Taking the walk a 2nd time. lol

[@BIGROCKER620]

Social D baby!!!!!

[@MistyTheGreat]

I totally agree.

[@krnannable]

ring of fire

[@ItzBlind]

I think your right there

[@RafaelFarias]

They were awesome at last night's KROQ Weenie Roast Y Fiesta.

[@cbone72]

I AGREE BRO.

[@funger69]

johnny cash co-produced this song on social distortions album, and went on to record social-ds song ball and chain, thats how much Johnny Cash WOuldda hated tis lol.

[@amherna]

Mike Ness is the FUCKING MAN!!!! SOCIAL D FOREVER!!

[@prigney]

That is hilarious. And true.

[@RichYan33]

But Johnny Cash did tons of covers in his career. Part of his comeback was his cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt". He'd never have problems with someone covering one of his songs. Plus June Carter Cash wrote the song in the first place.

[@satch1151]

TOOL!

[@jujuo16]

WOW.

[@RDX1981]

f****** great!!!

[@SlipKnoTdrummer04]

I'm not used to seeing Mike Ness without a tanktop lol

[@Toph803]

Agree 100%

[@vibman68]
