Social Distortion - When She Begins

Music video by Social Distortion performing When She Begins. (C) 1992 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

[@thedesertpirate8247]

In my honest opinion, Mike Ness is one of the most underrated song writers, and Social Distortion is one of the most underrated bands, of all time. This mans words, and the bands delivery of those words, have touched so many over the years. Countless lives have been saved by the blessing that is Social D.

[@zacksimmons3791]

Absolutely agreed. Recently my girlfriend of 9 years ended things quite abruptly, and for that first month or so I listened almost exclusively to Social D and Cheating At Solitaire more specifically. The emotion Mike puts into his songs helps me remember I'm not the only one out here that has been hurt.

Social Distortion got me through recovering from 20 plus years of living,hiding really, in a bottle. 3 years on the wagon, finally addressing and treating decades old mental health problems, and rediscovering my punk favorites, I have never felt better. Long live Social D man. And the Ramones, and Green Day. And Bad Religion. Nofx. The Living End.

[@scotthayes1210]

Congrats bro! That's no easy feat. Mike's lyrics have gotten me through some tough times myself. He is a poet who happens to play and sing. Again keep up the good work, brother!

[@Sam-tf7jk]

Social distortion is the type of band to make an album without a bad song

[@val13c59]

the one I love Social Distortion, first saw them in 85 when I was 16, I’m 50 now. They are one of my all time favorite. But I was a little disappointed with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes. I really hate the female choir back up singers on it. Not my thing.

[@charlesschmuckatelli7888]

Yea they are...they've done it...lots of times!

[@michaelr.4878]

Well, they have essentially been re-writing the same song for 40 years. hhehe. I like them. But it must be very boring to play in SD. Maybe that is why the lineup has changed so much. Same chord progression, over and over again. Mike just changed the key and vocal melody. The chord progression doesn't even change in their choruses, in most cases. They will just palm mute the verses and then let the chords ring in the choruses. 'Hey dude, we need to write a new song'. ..."okay man, put a capo on the 2nd fret'.

[@MrJett1971]

Yeah, to hell with musical artists who mature and decide to expand the vision of their music. Bunch of jerks...

[@MrJett1971]

Wow, you couldn’t be more wrong. They’ve reinvented themselves and their style many times over the years.

[@glenphillips7681]

Well round and round she goes Where she'll stop nobody knows. why'know that woman put a spell On me, but if you start me, start Me, start me you can't stop me, Stop me, stop me.

Oi that's because this generation sucks at finding good music these days. Look for some KZbin music channels. Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Wavves, Westkust, Earthless, High On Fire, Polyphia, TONS of stoner metal bands, ETC. I'm saying this to help you my friend, don't look at the shitty surface of today's music and then mark off everything as crap. I used to be the same way till I started actually digging deeper :)

I agree,..nothing like the good ol days,....although now,...28 years,..give or take 25 or so,..kidding,..i mean my y0u tube is practically complete from adding multiple bands,.because I still very much enjoy and listen to the same stuff! as Im sure you as well and others for that matter,..although,...as I was saying,..being of that energy type,..see punk rock was never a phase,..it was finding what we identify with,..period and if it faded away,..it was never you to begin with,..that one was just a poser! anyway,.....now a days,...the music mix is simply added to with new music that fits punk rock,..my perception anyway,...that fits its meaning,..energy,..constitution i guess. Bands like Marilyn Manson,..Disturbed, White Strips,..Hell even Evanescence ! although some of these new additions ( I ) will only repetitively play and choose to listen to some,..most or 1 or 2 of their collection,...example,..9inch nails,..Trent has like 500 FN songs it seems,..and most sound the same! so I cant deal with that but some of the songs are killer,..like the remix of Johnny Cashes Empire or Darts song,...fucking killer! and a few more,...Manson seems to have that vision that is so rare,...you know,..he was a nerd,..got picked on,..this seclusion and anger allowed him to see the hypocrisy and bullshit,..really,..that plagues sociable society,..blinds them actually,..if their isn't a problem,..then why fix it sort of thing,..so,..Manson developed vision,...and The Beautiful People was conceived,...DAM KILLER SONG! Disturbed,...The Game,..holly fuck! way killer tune,... Ebinesince,..dam,..some nice shit there really,...but Tool,..well,...in my opinion,..as others i know,..all of their music is simply,..fn the shit,...league of their own for shur,..hope this helps inject your medicine,..for the good ol music days,..I know I missed it before and felt abandon,..lost,..and pissed at times,..although ,...just keep in mind that the recognition of bullshit,..or just good ol music from original thinkers,...like social d,..still and will always be alive somewhere,....Hell NOFX is still kicking some killer funny shit,..Bad Religion,...Misfits reunion every now and again and play the SAME OL SHIT,...i dont know,...bsd religion ,,league of their own too,...killer shit ,...highly energetic,...hell ya,...good talking to you,..been forever to even talk to an ol school ,...you know,..before Green Day,...hahahahahhh,...hey that reminds me,...

This is hands down my favorite song of Social D's. I've seen them 4 times and never seen them play it live. Someday! I'm gonna keep trying Mike!

[@globaljeff2004]

I've been fortunate enough to see them at least a dozen times, plus Mike solo stuff. It doesn't get as much play at the shows in the last decade or so, but I was fortunate enough to see them about 26/27(?) years ago, and the opening band was Pegboy.... To this day one of the greatest punk shows I've ever been to in my life. And when this song came on and that guitar rips started in the drums, the went from being just the pit to about five times the size because the entire place went insane. Maybe that's why they don't play it in the last decade or so anymore, because all us fans are too old and would get moshed to death! Hahaha hahaha

[@mrclean5038]

I've seen them live like 5 or six times. Had the privilege of hearing them play it only once. By far my favorite Social D song

[@gregoryberg5806]

Probably my all-time favorite, too.. one that doesn’t get enough accolades. There was a band I saw in Utah all the time when lived there that always played this song in one of their sets… always played Bad Habit by The Offspring, too.
