I love the stories the social distortion fans always have about every song ... Social Distortion isn't awesome just for the music they do, but also they have the greatest fans a rock band could have.
Great video. Mike Ness is an unbelievable talent. He doesn't get enough credit. This guy should be in the R&R hall of fame. Hopefully he will be there some day SD is America's Punk Band. Ramones can't even compare. I've followed SD since the late 80's and he and SD are actually getting better as they get older.
That tune reflects exactly what I'm going through now. My friends turned out to be fucking backstabbers. This song helps me to go through it with a distance and light heart. Thank You, Mike!!!!!
I see social distortion tomorrow in Bologna, Italy and even sing this song, thank heaven that he knew this band long ago, always make me feel good when I listen to their songs!
This song is too true for me right now. My best friend, might as well have been my brother has been holding me back, and stabbing me in the back alot, finally I realized it today and cut him out of my life. This song is my life right now.
I don't understand why the crowd isn't dancing. I love this band. They have made music that has always helped me. I got the oppertunity to see them play when I was 16. I also was fortunate enough to see the Ramones at 15. I have seen Social Distortion 5 times. Worth every road trip and every penny..
I think it because they from there they do not fully understand how cool the band is because its what they always knew. I am more pissed KROQ sold out and refuses to play cool stuff like this anymore. Its why the radio sucks.
I was out of the country for 10 years, could never catch a SD show. I return to the US for 2 years, SD begins tourinfg again, and comes to Cincinnati 3 weeks after I leave for Indonesia. I've missed them again. When o lord when!?! Being from OC and Mike's stomping grounds, this obsession has got to be satisfied. SD gets near Cinci, Chicago, Clevland, Columbus- I need fellow road trippers! Be back in Cinci in September. Mike bring the boys to Cincinatti again. Never stop making music Mike!
Social D fuggin rocks! Period!!! Glad to see they got some new material together for their Greatest Hits album coming out. Hope to see more from them soon.
If someone asked me what American music sounds like…for some reason Social Distortion and this song always come to mind. The rock, punk, country, etc elements are all distinctly American. Only other band that comes to mind with a truly American sound is the Grateful Dead. 🔥
I was at this Weenie Roast and I can attest to the crowd being WAYYYY into it. Social Distortion absolutely killed at this show, too...even though I had seen them before at plenty of smaller venues. I was so floored by them, I immediately left when they were done! haha.
You got the true 'punk' posts!!! Keep it real!! I like this song, but you gotta be you!!...and I dig that!! It's always cool to meet a Rollins fan!!...I met him at the last Black Flag show in Detroit at the Graystone. I went down there around 3 or 4 and Rollins was wheelin' in the amps on a dolly! He was the coolest mother in the world! Frick'in awesome show too!!!
they have been making great albums,keep in touch.i heard mike saying on one show in italy few years ago:the most important thing in life is to dream,coz if youre not dreaming youre only sleeping.. so lets be creative
It could also be about a MILLION chicks I've known in my life. Once again, thanks for being the voice of my childhood in OC Mike. See you down @ the car wash on 17th in Costa Misery.
social d has been around for damn near 30 years and are better then almost every band today...why they aren't in the rock n roll hall of fame is beyond me
I have been lucky enough to see Ness play and sing 6 times. I will do my best to see Social Distortion as many more as I can. The day off Will requested. Or I might just have to call in sick. Either way. There songs mean that much to me. Knoxville T.N
Right-o bro! I toured with them with my band and we were to sign with 13th floor records in 1984 but everyone got drug problems. Good to seem Mike kicking it hard in 2007.
Punk is all about doing what you want even if that means sacrificing and not conforming to the worlds wants...Nobody embodies those values like Social D. They make the songs they want sing they way they want and mash up all different types of styles
I never knew these guys when they were younger; I've really only recently discovered them as I was into other rock forms when they came on the scene. They are really good. Sorry I missed their early stuff.
Social D is great like that. Their music is like a salve for the soul. Ball & Chain helped me get through a break up. I swear I would go apeshit with out their music.
"You shake my hand while your pissing on my leg." One of the best lines in a song I have ever heard.
Couldn’t agree more!
This song changed my life and gave me the strength to move on from fake friends. Thank you Social Distortion ❤️
Hells yes
"I'm leaving you to sink in all your glory. For me and you, it's the end of the story...."
Mike Ness and Mike Muir write some of the best lyrics.
I love the stories the social distortion fans always have about every song ...
Social Distortion isn't awesome just for the music they do, but also they have the greatest fans a rock band could have.
I found this song years after its release and I am so happy I did. it's changed my life so much 👌
Wow I didn't expect them to be so old. Not that that is a bad thing, they make great music. Apperantly since '78.
I've seen them since the another state of mind tour and Mike has always and will always kick ass

SAW EM THIS SUMMER IN CLEVELAND, HAD DRUMMER WHO WAS THE SON OF DRUMMER IN LOS LOBOS....ROCKED

Ness is SOMEHOW still a totally under-represented gem of American punk. Social D > Ramones by FAR
That tune reflects exactly what I'm going through now. My friends turned out to be fucking backstabbers. This song helps me to go through it with a distance and light heart. Thank You, Mike!!!!!
I would not want to piss of Mike Ness
greatest punk band ever. Lyrically and musically. Just amazing.
Social D is one of the best bands of the History!!! Sick solos, sick melodies, awesome band!!
Social D is the soundtrack of my life!!
Mike just keeps coming with the songs, this is one of the few bands that I can say I like every song they have.
I see social distortion tomorrow in Bologna, Italy and even sing this song, thank heaven that he knew this band long ago, always make me feel good when I listen to their songs!
This song is too true for me right now. My best friend, might as well have been my brother has been holding me back, and stabbing me in the back alot, finally I realized it today and cut him out of my life.
This song is my life right now.
Holy ship, I have never seen a crowd witness such greatness yet remain so motionless!
"when i get the time" by decendents
Totally!
Casualties ripped Creeps off SD...happens all the time, fellas
I don't understand why the crowd isn't dancing. I love this band. They have made music that has always helped me. I got the oppertunity to see them play when I was 16.

Mike Ness = One of the best frontmen ever to grace this planet.
I'm 46 years old. I am very lucky to make it this far. Social Distortion has helped me on many a dark and hard time.
"You shake my hand while your pissing on my leg" Yeah, I know how that feels. Fucking classic line.
Mike put out a new Social D record already!!!
Great performance by a great band!

Either way. Thank you very much Social Distortion.
I still remember the early 90s when i was only a few years old and listened to This band and Mike Ness. 15 Years later the music is still as good.
This man hit the nail right on the head.....
I was at this Weenie Roast and I can attest to the crowd being WAYYYY into it. Social Distortion absolutely killed at this show, too...even though I had seen them before at plenty of smaller venues. I was so floored by them, I immediately left when they were done! haha.
The crowd BLOWS!!
I had stickers all over the back hatch of my 1991 Cavalier of SD….I need to get more in 2022-23 ✌️
social distorion has once again put out another great song, a great band.
i drove 8 hrs to see them in jersey, from canada, then the next year 5 hrs to see them in n.y. was worth it , and would do it again.
You got the true 'punk' posts!!! Keep it real!! I like this song, but you gotta be you!!...and I dig that!! It's always cool to meet a Rollins fan!!...I met him at the last Black Flag show in Detroit at the Graystone. I went down there around 3 or 4 and Rollins was wheelin' in the amps on a dolly!
