I saw social distortion prison bound tour in Sacramento second level in 1987, I walked in by myself at 16, it was my 17 birthday, Mike ness walked up to me and said hi, I immediately felt welcome,he then proceeded to sign a prison bound poster for me and graciously asked me to spend the rest of the nite on stage next to the drum kit.who does that? Mike ness does, kindness grace love respect . The life of a 16 year old kid changed that nite I am the luckiest person in the world. Thank you social distortion thank you Mike ness❤
They have inspired and influenced so many bands, ironically many of those bands came and went, SxDx are timeless and still relevant after all these decades. They changed my life that is for sure.
I'm 40 years old and I've been listening to Social D for about 30 years. I never get tired of listening to them...They are as good now as they ever have been. I'm lucky I was introduced to Social D at such a young age. Grew up with them.
Turned 40 this year myself. Was a teenage father and passed the love of this group on to my children who are now adults and getting awfully close to having kids of their own. We have been to nearly 20 Social D shows since they were born. They are the soundtrack of our lives
This is the last song i got to share with my father who passed on christmas eve 2018. As a lifelong fan of Springsteen, this was something that spoke to him. Miss you pops
Right? Mike's tone is just fucking incredible. Billy Zoom from X does his Bassman mods (he did a lot for my old guitar player's rig); not totally sure where his P90's come from - Seymour Duncan custom winds them as I heard.. Otherwise, he only has a Boss DS-1 up front (I've seen his rig closeup more than a few times and have friends in his solo band) and his "Orange County" Deluxe is a '72 I think. It's a tone to die for. Clearly something to be said for raw simplicity.
His solos aren't the most technically impressive, but every note has its purpose, and he nails each note with the right inflection and attack. They're each a masterpiece in their own right
I'm thirteen years old. I attended a SD concert back in 2018 in Texas. It was one of the best days of my entire life. We were just watching them preform when a man approached us and invited us to the VIP section. We were right in front of the stage. It was amazing. I will never forget the time they played a love song and a fight broke out and Mike said," I sing one love song and a fight breaks out, how about another love song!"
They work together so well as a group. Classy, timeless punk rock. And hats off to the sound engineer for letting Hidalgo's ride cymbal cut through the mix so clearly.
Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of my son, who also has had years of drug addiction problems & prison/jail time. A real guy singing about real shit...so flawlessly that the pain is palpable. The greatest yet most underrated musician of my lifetime.
This song just sounds so much better with the Piano leading the rhythm now, in my opinion... Worth a re-recording as a bonus track on the next album, folks?
This is one of these unique things on our little planet where every single thing Mike Ness does and is is in perfect harmony with his expression in displaying it, visually and audibly. The guy is a planet Earth treasure.
Back in 2010 I think it was in Saskatoon,SK my wife and I got snuck in the back door of a club and got to hear Mr. Ness singing this during their sound check. Then waited in a rain back alley for 4 hours just to meet him. But we finally met him at his bus. Greatest day of my life.
Greater than your wedding day, lol? You mention your wife, so I'm concerned you're headed for the dog house. But if she's a SD fan, then she'd probably understand, and maybe feel the same!
Still relevant in my life to this day grew up wit them n now my daughters r listening to them love em!!!! Love how mike ness dedicates it to his son Julian n has even performed it wit him!!
I just saw them last night in Ventura. It’s been 20 years since I last saw them perform, and it was an incredible experience. One of my favorite bands of all time.
I love the fact he dedicates this to his son. There is a version that Julian is actually on stage. It's cool t see a guy like him who's been thru so much come back around and show that he understands family I sso important. Love the style these guys have too.
Being a PTSD SURVIVER, Ive gone though addiction, major deppresion & stints in phyc wards. The BEST medicine for me now @ 50 is what im presibibed & Now & then when FUCKED UP !!!!!! Jacks ,smokes & SOCIAL D.. Mike & ALL the boys, I would not have made it without you. Thank you. Im STILL here because of you...
+Tau Tauson it's live, but I wouldn't say it's in "this style." At least IMO. Roxy was a more typical live performance, in that the songs were played at roughly the same speed as the recordings. But this is slowed down quite a bit, which makes it more bluesy and soulful, I feel.
Love Social D, I thank my father for everything. He raised me in genuine punk rock such as Black Flag, Social D, Misfits, The Clash, Bad Brains, Rollins Band & The Ramones. Thanks Dad :)
Just punk I remember when I first heard his music I was blown away never will there ever be a Mike Ness . I met him in a parking lot in Toronto before a show .. it was during his country music stuff
@@JeffreyPillow hell yeah man. Social d has a unique blend of blues/punk/country/rockabilly. From their "lude boy/mainliner" days to present. Good shit. Cant get enough of their work.
We just need a new record period. They have a good tour following....I just don't get why they can't get new material out on at least a semi-regular basis.... I mean, he's been talking a new record for YEARS.... what's up?
Long time Social D fan!! I'm 38 and they were definitely the sound track of my youth!! First heard them at about 10 years old. Saw them live for the first time last night in San Diego. Best show of my life. His son Julian (Julian James and the Love Bombs) opened for them, they were awesome. Thank you for the great show!!
Anyone watching this in 2024? Still keeping good music alive?
Still watching. Masterful performance!
A true masterpiece of 🎼music
Damn straight
Yes definitely
@@Ripquorthorn hope you get to see them
the man will never know how many men he saved from life, tragedy, struggles and theirselves. I am alive. Thank you.
Yes brother 😊
Awesome. I agree.
Dude. Stay strong and keep going. Don't let the bastards get you down! It will get better! 🤘
I agree
@sandor2960 that was my grandfather's saying. Reading your comment made me think of him. Thank you my friend.

Get well Mike, music needs you.
2024, anyone?
Nope
Now and forever!
Word
I had hoped that Trump would be prison bound. I guess America decided to just go mad….😢
Yeah
Sending love to Mike getter better soon. This man has shaped my life is so many ways. Speedy recovery Mike!
Praying for you bud.
Same here. Stay Strong, Mike. God bless you. 🤍

Social Distortion for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame they more than earned there place there
Could not agree more.

Without question!
mnueet Definitely the world needs another social distortion or romones not just for old punk rock but music in general
Man they should be . Alot of good bands are being left out.
I'm 40 years old and I've been listening to Social D for about 30 years. I never get tired of listening to them...They are as good now as they ever have been. I'm lucky I was introduced to Social D at such a young age. Grew up with them.

43 been a fan since 87! 31 years and still goin. Mike Ness is one cool talented guy
Well, 15 years old and since the age of 10 a massive fan...
Don’t get why everyone is listening to rap or popbullshit if you can listen to that.....
SD is timeless. Here in 2020. Take care everybody.
Still here for Social D!
I'm here
Here, from Portugal! Stay safe, stay strong!
Just saw them last year and it was a phenomenal show they are timeless!!
Argentina here!

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure your Dad was a pretty good guy
Springsteen???????????????
@@ZenithClarity My father was a huge Springsteen fan. So this music he liked
Mike tells stories the way Bruce wishes he could.

almost every single day :)

Absolutely August 2024

every day pal. that piano at the beginning is epic.
This would have been a really good day to be at Guitar Center.
seriously, that guitar tone is just amazing.
satellite amp!
and a highly modded Fender!
Right? Mike's tone is just fucking incredible. Billy Zoom from X does his Bassman mods (he did a lot for my old guitar player's rig); not totally sure where his P90's come from - Seymour Duncan custom winds them as I heard.. Otherwise, he only has a Boss DS-1 up front (I've seen his rig closeup more than a few times and have friends in his solo band) and his "Orange County" Deluxe is a '72 I think.
It's a tone to die for.
Clearly something to be said for raw simplicity.
He doesn't use a boss, he uses a klon centaur
He used to use a Boss SD-1 in like 1997 or so.
It took me 34 years. I found the best song on youtube.
You simply suck, and have all through your life
Ball and Chain may be the song that inspires the masses, but this song, Prison Bound, just brings tears to my eyes, it's just so damned beautiful.
I've listened to Social Distortion for just over 30 years, and this is still one of the most amazing recordings of this song
Taking my 7 year old to his first show Dec 2024. Can't wait to share this with him.
This is probably the best version I've heard.
HIGOTYOU
I totally agree
Without doubt. That intro guitar riff with the piano is an amazing combination.
Ah, no the live version at the roxy in the early days.
am going to be 64 years old this september , still love social distortion , love all rock music , no matter what style, they were one of the bes
Ness has incredibly tasteful solos, Straight from the gut, no flash.
rifflife agreed, that pinch harmonic came out of nowhere for me, his solos are always badass
He had a little flash in some of his solos, like Let it Be Me and Don't Drag Me Down. But still pure gut there.
His solos have a real blues sound to them, and thats what i really love about them
The solo in Born To Lose is pretty incredible
His solos aren't the most technically impressive, but every note has its purpose, and he nails each note with the right inflection and attack. They're each a masterpiece in their own right
A band that has matured, aged and gets better with time. I can't think of too many. Still relevant to my life after all these years.
Yep. Same here.
TheMusicIsMyReason I
"I want to dedicate this song to my son, Julian." This came out in 2011, when his son was in some trouble for drugs. A sad dedication, really.
I think a lot of us growing up in poor, dysfunctional families can relate to SD. They are a fantastic band.
AC/DC, John Fogerty (yes i know he isn't a band, but that voice)...and that's bout all I can think of. Maybe The Band (the band's name is The Band)?
I'm thirteen years old. I attended a SD concert back in 2018 in Texas. It was one of the best days of my entire life. We were just watching them preform when a man approached us and invited us to the VIP section. We were right in front of the stage. It was amazing. I will never forget the time they played a love song and a fight broke out and Mike said," I sing one love song and a fight breaks out, how about another love song!"
Came home from my job hunt. Fittingly enough
WHO'S STILL WATCHING THIS IN 2018 AND STILL GETTING GOOSEBUMPS?!?!? WOWWWWW
Colinnnnn me. I love it
Been watching for years, still, 2018, one of the best performances I've seen in my life. Fucking social distorion for life!
ME
This song is great
U don't like this... U SUCK! Period!
They work together so well as a group. Classy, timeless punk rock.
And hats off to the sound engineer for letting Hidalgo's ride cymbal cut through the mix so clearly.
If you can play this well live, it just speaks for itself.
One of my alltime fav bands. Get well
I'm a long time SxDx Fan and the reason is, Mike pours his friggin' heart out with every lyric he sings and every chord he plays! Fan till I die.
Still listening in 2024. Seeing them in concert next
Week

Best song writer of my generation
Me to I know what you're saying 40 years of this shit prison drugs death so tried
Mike Ness lived it! That's why it hits' home brother.
The backing vocals are just flawless
Yes, at first I looked for chicks in the back row😂
FLAWLESS
Social Distortion live forever in my❤
Love the Gaslight Anthem shirt!!
Ness has that feeling in his voice.. Love this dude!
Miss seeing you around in Flora Park. It was cool to have a legend in the neighborhood!
This song just sounds so much better with the Piano leading the rhythm now, in my opinion... Worth a re-recording as a bonus track on the next album, folks?
How can I like a comment more than once??? You spoke my mind!!!
I found a website you can take a video off UA-cam and convert it to MP3 I do it for random songs that sound good live !
Agreed.where can I find the entire show ?
This performance is amazing.
Need this song regularly
a man that has played those chords his entire life with emotion that good , i give legend status . thanks Mike
Been there done that,true story and I appreciate this song
What an incredible song. What an incredible version.
Love the Gaslight Anthem t shirt!
This song help me get through a lot of hard times.
This is one of these unique things on our little planet where every single thing Mike Ness does and is is in perfect harmony with his expression in displaying it, visually and audibly. The guy is a planet Earth treasure.
This is the definitive performance of this song. Change my mind.
I saw them on this tour and this is better!
Live at the Roxy slaps too
from indonesia 2020....great song SD...
Best band ever. Listening to them for 40 years. Just keep getting better.......
Absolutely the best, graduated from La Habra in 89

I was there too! Met him too. Had him sign a hat.
Sounds shit.
Love the lead solo The last measure at the end is so perfect for the song
Loved this song since I was a kid. To me it’s the “Freebird” of Punk Rock 🤘🏼🙌🏼
Sorry but Bad Religion is king but this is a hreat song
Here in 2021.
Still relevant in my life to this day grew up wit them n now my daughters r listening to them love em!!!! Love how mike ness dedicates it to his son Julian n has even performed it wit him!!

your do realize it's a song about being in prison. you dont find that a little odd?

Social Distortion it's one of the number one bands ever I've been listening to them since day one I love these guys rock on brothers
This tune and “Reach for the Sky”. I can watch this over and over and love it even more.
Social D forever
Absolutely love the piano intro! Just classic! Call it what you want. Social Distortion are one of the greatest examples of just TRU rock & roll !!!
Thanks helped me out tonight.
Good luck bro 💯👌
This song this version is my favorite song performance ever!
im 62 been listening to these guys for years i never get tiered of them
Such a great version. I would love a full live album in this style.
"live at the roxy" is what you want, some of the live tracks on that are even better than the studio versions.
Tau Tauson thanx ^-^

Loved this GDamn song for many years now!
Never been to orange county...but Ness takes me there everytime...respect
My favorite band of all time, I will NEVER ever get tired of listening to them!!
Ill never stop listening to social D! My favorit band and been a fan for over 30 years and counting! counting

Love this song and the guitare tone on the solo is awesome.

Still jamming out to this in 2023!
The tone of this band is incredible. That solo is amazing as well
my brother listens to this song over and over again , hes loved this song

Been jamming these tunes going on 35 years. It never gets old, and it never gets better. Great memories and more to come...
If it wasn’t for my Dad, I’d never know anything about Social D. Mxpx helped solidify my love for this band. Ness never disappoints.
I'm 51 and still listening. I went to there concert. Some where between heaven and hell at Hollywood palladium. Miss those days🤙
Mike is just pure LEGEND!
They have class. Thank you guys! seriously
