Johnny Two Bags is the CJ Ramone of Social Distortion. Even though he is not the iconic original member of the band, he was a formidable replacement that filled the void for Denis Dannell.
Excellent interview! You can't dislike a guy like Johnny. He is such a humble and down to earth dude. Keep the posts coming!
Killer interview......I used to live with Johny's Dad, Pete Wickersham, at Ron Emerey's house in La Mirada. Pete was such a good friend to me and had amazing stories of traveling and singing. I recently found out that he has passed on, so RIP my freind Pete and Carry On Johnny.......Long live rock
Jay Dean ok ikno 3 yrs ago u wrote this. but u really lived with ron emory? and how come two bags dad lived ther?not my buisness lol just a weird combo
Right? I am wondering the same thing...were Ron and Pete running buddies for dope or something?
Ian is awesome! He used to cut my hair when he was an awesome barber too. Jonny Wickersham is an incredible musician too and a tremendous human being for being able to go through so much and still be standing tall.
I met Lar & Tim from RANCID @ Warped Tour 1996 and Ill never forget me seein them and I JUMPED over the fence to get their autographs. Lars gave my friend Jim and I a beer to split (13 & 15 at the time)!!!! Lars & Tim were our John & Paul, or Page & Plant. I asked Lars who HIS favorite bands were and he said "The Cadillac Tramps CHANGED MY LIFE!" Now that, coming from our hero meant we needed to immediately buy all their available albums NOW! Well, none of their albums were available in Detroit, so I ordered 2 of them from our local store. I dont know if I was too young to get it at the time or it just isn't my thing but to this day, I still cant get into them and it bums me out soooo bad!!! Anyway, Lars, Rick Thorne and Chino from the Deftones hungout with us for a good 20 minutes....well, they talked, we drooled and hung on their every word hahahaha
I snowboarded with Jonny up in Whis(tler) back in around '94. Spent the day showing him the mountain. The Caddies performed at The Boot. Cool dude
Down the Highway is one of my new favorite shows. Awesome interview with Johnny Two Bags. I always liked his band the Cadillac Tramps and US bombs. My best buddy Brian Girton from The Lowdowns (SF) turned me onto the Bombs back in the 90's when I was playing in The Breakouts. I always wanted to do a show with them, but it never happened...man, I miss those bands...Those were some good times. This show brings it all back for me. Thank you so much for sharing this interview ...Keep up the good work ! Btw, I dig Johnny's solo stuff too. "Clay Wheels " pretty much sums up my life, and I'm sure a lot of other's lives as well, lol
I am an 37 years old brazilian. Music has been part of my life since the beginning, just like you said. But for me it is very special to watch your work, because the music that MADE my life is the old style californian punk rock, since Weirdos and Germs, Circle Jerks and Agent Orange, Adolescents and Social Distortion, Dead Kennedys and X and all that stuff since I was 13. Thank you so much for this video, I can learn with that, can't wait to see the next ones.
Awesome
Thanks so much for watching our episode. The song played is off of Jonny solo album coming out soon. The song is called "Clay Wheels."
Wow did not know Dennis passed away not long after his child was born. RIP Dennis D.
I knows it's 9 years later, but this was an awesome interview.
Thank you, Rick!!
I REMEMBER ALL THIS THANKS SO MUCH. I HAVE OLD PICS. SO PROUD OF YOU JOHNNY AND THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC... MUCH LOVE BECCI PARKER
Great interview! So much better than all the generic TV interviewers that don't know what they're talking about.
You are passionate and know what you're talking about, refreshing to see :D Thanks for interviewing one of my favorite guitar players :)
Nice interview and duet. Thanks!
Great interview. Looking forward to more!
I really wanted to hear him talk about his time in the US Bombs.
Thanks Phillies!
Great show-good subject matter, Jonny was interesting and articulate and Ian let him talk instead of making the questions longer than the answers. Fab song at the end. Wish the show was longer (which is rare). Nice work, Ian. Cannot wait for next episode.

We are glad you enjoyed the interview!! Stay tuned for more great stuff.
Really great interview from both Jonny and the interviewers standpoint. This is what awesome stuff is made of. How this ends is truly the best part. Kudos man!!!!
Thank you!
Great show. Did not know he played in Youth Brigade
Salvation Town is one of my FAVORITE records ever...
Thanks! Pass on the word about the show!!!
Very cool interview. I always had the feeling Jonny was a pretty cool guy and this interview proved it. Good job..Looking forward to the Keith Morris episode.

Cool, professional and very very interesting. Big thumbs up!
And you got a very nice bike, man!
pretty much sums it up man!!!
GOOd stuff from the underground. THe history channel can stick it well not really but you know what I mean. Keep it up!
Oh, thanks!
Nice interview. What's up Ian? Long time no see. Raygunn (from Underdog)
Deadly Reign!!
Great stuff. Very Charlie Rose-esque (my favorite interviewer). Ian asked nice questions and let Jonny respond without interupting. Liked the song to end the session. It's time to switch to Road Riders though. They go over pebbles better.
Awesome start....I love Johnny Two Bags. consider me subscribed
Ian, did you do songs for the 2012 movie "Entrance?"
WHITE LIGHT, WHITE HEAT, WHITE TRASH...is hands down one of THEE best mastered albums ever. When you play that album on your headphones, with the volume and bass high!!! WOW ITS just an amazing album. I believe it was mastered by James Saez!?
Hey, is anyone know the title of the song at the end of the interview?
"Clay Wheels" from his Salvation Town album
Johnny Twobags doesnt have the blues
and it makes him sad, brings him down
but not down enough to have the blues...
Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the name of the song they played?
Thanks in advance.
"Clay Wheels" from his Salvation Town album
Is it just me or did u skip right over the U.S BOMBS years? I may have been hearing things but im sure that band was brought up in this BREIFLY
