- Social Distortion's Mike Ness joins Matt Pinfield for this episode of New & Approved.
Sadly, Mike Ness was diagnosed with tonsil cancer earlier this year, but that hasn't stopped him from making music. Ness discusses the struggles of cancer treatment, but with a grateful attitude he's been able to persevere and still do what he loves.
Social Distortion will be releasing a new album next year and will also be setting off on tour with their friends of Bad Religion. They'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of their first record "Mommy's Little Monster" and playing the record in its entirety.
Ness tells Matt about his history and how he first got into rock and roll and eventually punk rock. He chats about his favorite early punk bands, almost recording with Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, and the first time he stepped into a studio.

One of the most underrated songwriters of all time…forget the punk label…just a fantastic storyteller and performer
Mike Ness is a National treasure.
Good health to Mike Ness; the world needs his music!
That's why we have records.
@@randallscott6 Hehehe yeah, so if the guy croaks we can still enjoy his toonz :) My devil how cynical
Just not his politics.
@@kinnertubbyson ya...crazy jewish dem
I dont care if he is a scientologist Whig party member. I dont need Sick Boy telling me to who to vote for in either direction. sing When She Begins and Mommy's Little Monster and then get back on the bus, Mike. @@randallscott6
I hope for nothing but the best for you Mike, i wish you a speedy and epic recovery! I can't wait for the new tunes!
I live in Idaho and moved back from the south in 95 used to go to a bar & literally wear the jukebox out on somewhere between heaven and he'll footprints on my ceiling helped get me sober & my son's first concert was pushed up against the rail.. And during the first song Mr Ness pointed at my son and threw him a guitar pick . I love the man thanks for being you a survivor who gives the rest of us a gift in music
I saw Social Distortion with Neil Young in Chicago during the Gulf war. I had no idea who they were but I immediately knew I loved them. From their rockabilly sound to the cuffed jeans and white tee shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve. A few years later I met my husband and Social Distortion was one of the bands he loved. Flash forward 1999 we introduced our newborn to the music we loved and shared and forward to now trying to find tickets to see you, a family of fans.
Badass!❤
After being a SD fan since the beginning I found myself in Corcoran State Prison when White Light , White Heat , White Trash came out . That cassette not only made my stay more tolerable but actually had me reflecting on life choices the brought me there in the first place. I don’t always agree with MN but the man is an inspiration and an awesome performer. Rest in Paradise Dennis
Good seeing you recover, Mike. I was devastated when I heard the news, you had cancer. I am very happy to see you're doing well. Looking forward to seeing you, again,in Vegas 2024. Stay strong, healthy and happy. You are loved by many. ❤
Mike Ness is just and always will be COOL.😎
His voice sounds way better than even a month ago. Go Mike!
Mommy's Little Monster was one of my first punk rock records i bought in 1984 and its still an all time favorite! So glad Mike is back to health and kicking a.. like he's always done! His records really got me through some rough times, and I am a fan for life.
Excited for the new Social D album! Rest and heal up quickly Mike! And glad you're recovering from your eye surgery Matt!
First exposed to Social Distortion in high school in 1982. Loved Mike Ness and SD ever since. Lucky enough to see them many times over the last 40 years but taking my kids to see them in Vegas in 2019 has to be my highlight.
The man, the myth,the LEGEND! So stoked he’s on the mend!
Great to see and hear you guys again!!
Long live the both of you
Thank you so much, this is the Christmas present I needed.❤️ so good to see Mike in good spirits, recovering well, I’m beyond happy for him and his family, he’s a true inspiration since so many years. Thanks for everything Mike, the world needs you, ❤️
Stay strong Mike! Still my favorite guy of all time!
Good to see Mike’s on the mend. “Born to Kill” and “Tonight” from the upcoming album are already up there with the all time SD hits for me.
Been a fan for many years! Mike you're a true inspiration and a incredibly beautiful human. Be well, stay strong and never give up man! All the Best! See you in Philly soon!!! 🎉🙏🎸😻
we love Mike Ness, prayers for him and his healing. God bless!
❤😊God Bless You Mike Ness, rock on.
Brought some brand new tears seeing this having lost my sister in 2016 & my dad in 2020 both to cancer and loosing my best friend/husband/business partner (Chris was my everything) inexplicably death June 2023…. The moment in time my world got turned upside down. Music of various genres including Social D has played a tremendous role in my healing, coping, and rebuilding of a life without Chris …. My Birthday was Dec 17, so this was one of the best bday gifts ever.. Social, Bad religion & Dixxon…doesn’t get any better!!! My prayers for Mike will spread to as many Christians as possible & keep on keeping on… We Live to fight another day brother !!!
Such a positive interview despite Mikes health circumstances. I wish I had friends like that 😊
Spirit and soul punk amazing !!! Mike we love you ❤❤❤
He looks great! So happy that he’s the fighter he is. Viva Mike Ness!!
Ol' Mike Ness, up and running again. Thank god for that. See you in September.
Get well Soon and back to normal love you Mike ☺️
2 legends havin' a chat... LOVE IT. I could watch this over and over
I’ve met mike several times as a late teen. I was born and raised in O.C. And social D was the band to see, watch and listen to. I remember telling him how I thought it was funny that folks believed that SD was a punk band? He asked what do you mean? I replied “SD is a hopped up band of Johnny Cash and Stones ! He smiled. BTW , I was afraid of him. He was a tough and rough kind of fella full of swagger and attitude! Can’t wait to see SD soon!
So good to see Mike recovering! You got this!! Keep it up and continue meditating! Hope to see you on tour! You are the best!!
Love you Mike Ness ❤🙏😌😇get well and rock on. Social Distortion will always be a good punk rock band.
Mike you guys kicked ass at the Masonic Detroit. I'm still feelin the energy from that show. Bad Religion, Live Crimes! Thank you for the long break down. Kick the shit out out of the rest of the tour homie! 🤟
How many have I lost to cancer and now a hero survives. Can't wait for the Tour and record man! Be strong and keep up with that Speech Therapy!!!💪🏾
Cancer is the Devil man. Took my mother this year. On and off with different types of cancer over the past 25 years. Took my grandmother and many friends through the years. Fuck cancer I hope Mike kicks its ass as ell😂as anyone else reading this who has it or has been affected by someone who in their life going through it.
So good to see you recovering! Thank you for the interview and all the amazing music you’ve gifted us over the years 🤘🤘🤘. Your Ring of Fire is how I discovered Cash and it’s one my daughter loved dancing to with me as a young child. Still does
This is the first I heard that Mike was sick, hope he gets better soon. New album will be good to hear.
Mike is a great guy, wishing him the best.
recently lost my uncle to cancer im glad to hear hes doing better
What a Xmas present this interview is. So happy to see Mike back in track. Great conversation, thank you!
Omg I so needed this!! So good to see and hear him do so much better. You are loved Mike!! ❤❤❤
I'm honored to be able to Social D live again in 2024. Thanks for all the years and passion and professionalism
Get healthy Mike. Ticket sold as soon as you're ready. Love from ELA!
Always been a fan since 81. Saw them a couple of times in Germany and this year in February in Brisbane with BR and it was a fantastic show. All the best, Mike!
Makes me so happy to see Mike here. He and SD have been there for me in my hardest times
Mike must really have his guardian angels on his shoulders constantly considering everything that he has been through, kudos to him and his cancer recovery! He resembles Dustin Hoffman a bit here lol
March 2017 show at the Ventura Theater, Mike came out to talk to a crowd after the show, blown away at what a down to earth, humble guy he is. Godspeed to M. Ness, will never miss a chance to catch him locally
Speedy and complete recovery, Mike!
I was the winner of two tickets at the Majestic Ventura theater about two years ago for you guys and could not show because of life circumstances. Such a mess I could not get over until literally a week ago where I was literally listening to Bad Religion''s How Can Hell Be Any Worse album passing the SB Bowl to see Social Distortion and them in bold headlining the marquee for this Summer. It's been a bucket list item of mine to watch you guys play live, and so it seems fate has reappeared in some form there. Hearing about your cancer is a gut shot from my perspective, though, and I can't say enough to thank you for the subliminally arching effect your music has had for me over the years, all of it positive. With dream like consistency and aperature, too. Feels like something out there guiding me along helpfully, so I pray the same keeps you safe for as long as possible as well.
God Bless
HUGE SD FAN!!
thank you Mike for all you do and have done
Glad to see you back. I'll be seeing you in April in Mesa.
Praying for you, old friend.
Brining tears to my eyes. Ness is the man! His life and issues come thru in his tone/music! Thank you Mike Ness for your music and helping me thru hard times!!!
Got my tickets for the tour today!! Can’t wait!!
Glad to hear Mike is healthy and recovering and super stoked for new music from Social Distortion! #sxdx
Mike glad to see your better and still fighting! I really want to see your up coming show 💞💫 love and healing to you always!
I have my tickets. It's so good to see you doing well. We're all in your corner, Mike.
Love and Respect to Mike Ness, a true warrior. Can't wait to hear the new music. All the best from B'ham, Alabama.
Love you Mike! Can't wait for the new album.
Best of luck with full recovery, new album and tour. Time to get back in the saddle.
I can still remember the first time I heard Ball and Chain. I was driving through Garden Grove headed towards Tustin on a beautiful sunny morning with the window down in my Ford pick up listening to KROQ. And then Bam those massive Les Paul chords filled the cab. I was blown away. God bless you Mike, I pray your throat heals fast.
My God bless you, Mike!
My dad used to listen to social D while I was a young kid in the car. In highschool i rediscovered the band and have been listening ever since! i wish the best for you mike, and thank you for the amazing music youve created.
That’s awesome!!! When I drove around with my dad he would play Hank Sr. Or George Jones. I loved it. I love it more now than I did then. I play that, & Social D for my son now. He says he hates it, but I know one day he’ll love it. I know because when he was still in diapers he would dance to the Ramones version of Surfin Bird all day long. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I love this dude. MN. He looks awesome. Looking forward to a new album.
Absolute legend, great interview Matt Pinfield.
Bad ass interview!!! Mike, I am glad you are doing well and going back at it!!! I am so happy you are doing well and back in the mends!!! Love ya!!! Best frontman ever!!!!!
Best wishes Mike. Look forward to seeing you in St Augustine
Mike 🤍 . So great to see him well and on the mend!
"Early punk/acdc sound" welp, who else is rock hard after hearing that. Cant wait.
Wishing the best for you Mike, keep pushing on! I love how you decide to be grateful for what you have and to keep fighting. Thank you for everything and best wishes for that new record! Looking forward to it. Cheers 💯
Glad Mike is doing well! Hoping for a full and speedy recovery for him!
Thanks for putting up the effort to do this interview. We believe in you and it's all good vibes from here on out!!!!!
Looking and sounding great Mike. I’m so damn excited to see you on stage.
So cool seeing these two together again. I watched Matt through the 90's as a kid on MTV as the "rock" VJ, and then was introduced to SD in 1999 when I started high school by my best friend after having never heard of them. Thought it was so cool to see Mike unbelievably (to me) on 120 mins not having known Mike and Matt had known each other previously.
Sending Mike so much love and healing vibes!!!! He rules!❤️❤️❤️❤️
We wish you only the best Mike. Damn, fight the good fight! See you in Atlanta
Great interview Matt. Glad to see Mike is doing well can't wait for the new music & tour.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Mike. I wish it didnt happen to anybody, but especially to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands of all time. So many Social D songs that bring loads of memories for me when I hear them. Mommy's Little Monster especially reminds me of my ex who introduced me to Social D. Get to feeling better man. Your fans miss ya
All the Best Mike. I feel very honoured to have seen Social Distortion twice. Love from Australia. " Don't Drag Me Down". Jaw on chin step and jab.
Can't wait for the tour. I've got my tickets for MGM and St Augustine.
Keep on with the recovery Mike. Can't wait to see you guys with BR this Spring.
Social Distortion, Bad Religion, The Offspring and Green Day: the top 4 California Punk Rock Bands 😊❤
Best to Mike and the guys. Love Social D.
God Speed Mike Ness you have so many Fans
Great interview!!! All the best to Mike. I hate this word but I've always been a big "fan" of Soc D. going back to the early 80s, Mommy's Little Monster etc... Looking forward to the new album.
Best interview I have ever heard. Thank you.
Still got my tix for last year's tour. We wanna see Social D, but we wanna see them healthy and happy. Rest up Mike, we'll be here when yer ready to get back to the stage.
God bless you brother! Keep keeping on man!🙏💪❤️
Still got my postponed tix from last year. Thank I for coming, not that I ever doubted u. All the best to u and ur family. All the love in the world~ from a kid from the black hole
Long live to Mike!!!
When the angels sing they love to sing Social Distortion songs written by Mike Ness, very glad his recovery is making such great progress & he's fired up to pick up where he left off. It's going to be amazing to hear new songs from SD again & it sounds like they're making exactly the right approach to record another legendary masterpiece to stand up with their best!
We love you Mike. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Can't wait to see you in Vancouver later in 2024.
Best wishes Mike Ness! Great to see and hear you.
It is amazing to hear and see you! 💪🏻
keep up the recovery Mike ! how about some dates over in Iberia in the future ? Portugal/Spain ?......Our band covers several S D songs, we need the real thing !
All the best Mike, and what a great band, 60 yrs old now, but your music talked to me when I was in not such a good place
Thanks for coming out to Australia last February it Was epic . I wish you many many more great years with your family and music ❤️🩹
Im glad mike is doing well. His music has helped me so much throughout my life. I didnt have the easiest life but theres something about SD that always helped me keep my cool. I thank mike for this. Im glad hes doing better
Feel better soon Mike, I hope to see you soon on tour! 🙏
Happy healthy healing Mike 💐
I have been a SD fan since I was 16 (1992). Have seen them 15+ times. Multiple shows at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Before it moved. And the Dennis Danelll tribute show at Irvine Meadows (now gone) Including the night before my wedding. I wish nothing but a speedy recovery to Mike.
Glad he gave such respect to Gen X. Bob Andrews rules!
