Thanks for posting this version I hadn't heard it. One of my favourite SD songs. I love the way the solo runs back into the main guitar riff. They played this when I saw them at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia a few years back and it brought the house down
I've lived this music my entire life.withall the stuff I have leaved trough,and alot I didn't think I would they are like they were there though all the things I lived through and wish I hadn't.Ness and social distortion has been there,made me feel I wasn't alone even when I knew I was going to die.been there then still there now.from the beginning. s
inalavalamp that was taken before SD went on stage at the 97' Warped Tour in San Diego, first day of the tour. Really cool picture and those two got hit by everyone autographs/pictures.
like the alt. version of crown of thorns i prefer this one to the released version, such a great band all around. truly a hidden gem to have in your collection.
What a absoLUteLy great coLLection of pics to go with this song. . !! Can't stop Laughin' at what a character Mike's been since the beginning! i Remember some of the oLder cover & promo shots, but the ones you've added are totaLLy a gLimpse into his Life! Thanks, a LOt!! =8~)
well to each their own, but white light's version kicked ass over this to my ears. this sounded like a demo (guess that's what it is). sounded like he was barely trying in the vocals, just laying down a basic track w/o concentrating on producing his usual sneering, badass vocals. the sound of the guitar, bass, and drums are flat by comparison too. but again, to each their own.
This is good but the Lp version is better. White light white heat white trash was their best record! Chuck Biscuits on drums totally changed the dynamics of their sound. Super heavy!
Kind of reminds me of how Suicidal Tendencies went from the demo version of "Possessed to Skate" to the album version on 'Join the Army'. And I have to say, I like this one more than the 1996 version!
thanks, really hard pics to find.. took me couple of hours to find those pics, got about 200 Old rare pics of SD and mike. call me a freak but yeah i'm a real SD fan ;)

Never forget first hearing this song on the Steel Roots motocross movie. Haven't stopped listening since...that was about 1997 or so.
Same here man!
Never gets old. Those lyrics hit real close to home for me. So glad for punk to keep everyone together when the world is going to shit.
Agreed. I dig it. Please read my books. Thomas C. Stuhr.
Positive perspectives full of comedy.
I totally agree with that statement right there.
Yep man... 46 years old punk from Italy❤
best band ever!!!
Verdade
Amen!
Yup
I like that you can actually hear John's backing vocals for once. He's barely noticeable on most of the albums.

This song and band got me through life's disappointment
a great version indeed, I like the later version better though. its more agressive and angry, but this one is cool as well.
glad they found this track
Joey ramone and Joe strummer and Johnny rotten and Mike Ness have r all punk legends
Classic... that would be the version I would have recorded back in the day.
wow the one with mike and joey is great

Cheetah Thunders. I gotta agree. Still good though.
Where are all the guys that look like this these days? Damn!
Southern California
Best band ever ❤️
Epic
love the pics's
i found 2 pics where mike's getting inked. one old from the late 80s and another from 2008 i think?
Who is the tall dude with all the tattoos, I swear I know but just can't put a name with the face...
Nice pics!
any idea what year he recorded this?
White Light was released in '96.
Judging by the production quality & Mike's voice probably '92-'94
I agree with Cheetah Chrome
can't drag me down!!
Just subed ya. I think we'll get along. Social Distortion and muddin!!! Maybe combine the two in a vidio?
🖤☠️🖤🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want it too!! :(
Bombe 💪🏻
Rich or poor..........dont drag me down........turn around......turn around.....dont drag me down.....ITS PERFERT....KEEP LISTENING KIDS......
Green book........

Great version but doesn't quite have the same energy as the later album version.
This is good but the Lp version is better. White light white heat white trash was their best record! Chuck Biscuits on drums totally changed the dynamics of their sound. Super heavy!

Who’s the long haired dude?
Always loved that extended second verse.
Shoulda kept it in, in my opinion.
MERAVIGLIOSO MIKE NESS MITICI SOCIAL DISTORTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
happy to see 22k views, more rare recordings and pics are comming ;)
This version just sounds like it could have been on the "Some where between Heaven and Hell" record. Less aggressive but still awesome
Awesome point. Indeed.
@boyes0n thats a big 10-4 little buddy....I just listened to this version 6 times in a row....still blows my mind...thank you man!!
One more video is on the way up! A live and rare tune with rare lyrics!

I like Mike nees
😀
Awesome
The Music seems like "Devildice" from Bali.
Because Jerinx is a fan of Social Distortion since he was young or before Superman Is Dead and Devildice were born
Oh yeah!
The 'White Light' version is superior to this in every possible way.
