Seeing Dennis always makes me sad… So unfortunate and unfair that he passed so young… Incredible rhythm guitarist and amazing style… I’ve heard he was a heck of a guy too…
In 1985 Social Distortion played a free show outside of the Santa Monica Civic Center , it remains one of my all top 5 shows ever..and I’ve seen everyone
I was only one year old in 1990. I discovered Social Distortion around 2009 and love them since then. I think most of the people commenting here are good old boys. These are the kind of people l like to hang out with, spend time with. I have a farm in a very remote but naturally beautiful hilly village in Nepal. I'am working everyday with an aim to fix this degraded, backward place by turning this once an abandoned piece of land into a self- sustainable farm and a tourist attraction. I would happily offer a free service, free food, free camping tents to true Social Distortion's fans if they ever come to my farm. I believe there is not a single person in my country who knows ST and have listen to them beside my business partner friend. People are not so curious these days. Everyone follow the popular trends. Hence they can never discover the great bands of the best time in world's music. I love the album cover of mommy's little monster. A laughing skeleton wearing a hat, holding a glass of wine on a hand. It has a deep insight. When i was working as a factory labour in South Korea some years ago, i bought that album's T-shirt online, which is now totally discolored but i still wear it sometimes. I love SD.
@@jackmacauley1918 You are always welcome to Swopnavumi brother. But its nothing like a luxury homestead or resort. We built and planted almost everything here. This place was a barren abandoned cliff. The project started with 200 paulownia's saplings that we bought on 200 dollars, two years ago. We had no money when we started. We took some bank loan and invested to build a farm. There is a lot to do. We are not able to generate any income at the moment whatsoever. You have to sleep in tent and eat what we produce and eat here. But we happily share what we have. We will do our best to make your stay unforgettable. If you are a music lover, true nature lover, explorer and if you love rawness, tranquil place and simplicity then you will definitely enjoy your stay here. Try to come to Nepal asap. Cause someday never comes. And someday you may get tired and give up and i may give up on my dream as well. So, plz come before its too late.. Thank You 🙏
Awesome!! you’re only a year older than me, I found out about them around 2004-2005 I had just got outta 8th grade about to start freshman year in highschool. Mommy’s little monster being the first song and album I had and heard. The BEST!! It’s cool that their newer stuff fits us older heads today and we can choose the nostalgia of listening to the first records! I hope you succeed real well in this little land of yours, cheers from California!
First time I saw SD they opened for TSOL at SIR Studios in Hollywood. Jack taunted the lapd and it turned into a literal riot. Bought the ticket and handful of black beauties from a liquor store across the street. Fun times!
Saw social D in 1992 at the pacific amphitheater in OC. Blind melon played to and Neil young headlined. What a bizarre bill. Anyone else at that show. Epic!!
I saw them on this tour in Milwaukee. Neil Young headlined, Social Distortion opened, Sonic Youth rocked it out in between. It was cool seeing the old hippies boppin’ their heads to Social Distortion. Sonic Youth ended their set with their instruments kickin’ feedback and it was great, but the venue cut it off really short. So, Neil Young blasted the feedback at the end of his show. It was a fucking great show. I mean, shit, seeing SD & SY together? Psh. Then I get to hear Neil Young as an exposure to something “new” for me. Heh. It was a good night & it was free to boot. 🖖💀
I remember seeing this. Channel was from OC (but I was in LA city) and I had to use a twisted coat hanger on the TV to get better reception. That video show played a lot of cool stuff back in the day.
Denny D in rare form. JM giving poorman the business. Newly sober Mr. Ness is on a terror. The rhythm section lays the groundwork for radio hits . MTV did the rest.
First time seeing SD was at a house party in OC.. I've seen them a dozen times or so.. Will be going again to the House of Blues in Anaheim in December. They always put on a great show...
I remember Request Video. UHF Channel 56 baby! Social D was huge at my high school during this period. I even had a friend who got a tattoo of the skeleton-with-a-martini logo.
I’m a big fan, seen them many times. First time was in 1985 at a VFW hall with Bad Religion. But their last album sucks. The quire girls back up singer total not my style. Only two good songs on that last Hard times Nursery Rhymes album.
Loved Social D from age 10 when I saw Another StTe of mind doc on Nite Flight....a video show on Saturday at like 1Am on USA network....damn I'm old lol
Was 9/10 base on time frame in 1990 , I was in that finding my music faze -Listen to some hip hop /rb etc at first then move on to metal/trash/speed but lol cause headach in end and didn't click on personal level . Say by mid 1990s , around my pre/teen years I found this band and all other punk bands . Everything click for this poor white happy kid ,at 43 still going back in time trying find bands I miss or never gave proper time to . Never seen them live but seen Mike side band once . Some reason after 90s bands stop coming to Kentucky beside those big fest crap . I miss small personal love show rooms .
I was there. The room was pretty tiny. This was shot at the old KDOC studio in Anaheim, pretty close to Disneyland. The same place where Wally George taped Hot Seat. The band weren't playing very loudly that day. I think some of that delay might be from the wire less guitar rigs that Mike & Dennis were using back then...
I still say Let it Be Me is the best song in the self titled album. Mommy's Little Monster and white light,white heat,white trash are their best albums,but sex,love,and rock n roll is up there. Hell even 3 or 4 of their new songs which are supposed to go on new record are really good.
Seriously? where did this guy come from ?? In that time, Ness comes in with a Gibson Marshall combo like Slash or Page and a twang and a vocal like nobody. I guess I missed the magazine article where he listed his direct influences.
I dated a girl that dated Mike for a while. She said at some point she realized every single song he wrote was about himself. It completely ruined it for her. She dumped him soon after. She was super hot too. Lol
@@ghostfood777 Songwriting is not like writing a comment. There are a myriad of subjects open to songwriters as we see by the catalog of the world's greatest songs. I like Social D and it was just a funny anecdote. You're overthinking it. And plus I wasn't writing about myself. I was writing about her and Mike. But A for trolling effort tho. You'll just have to head back to the drawing board and get better at leaving useless antagonistic moments.
The PoorMan!!!!! Hahaha. What happened to this guy? Mike Ness and his mumbling for the win!!!! I also thought I was so drunk and stoned at the shows that I could never understand what he was saying, but 30 years later and sober, I still can not understand him, lol.
I paid for at least two shows in 87 at fenders to see them and the never showed up! D.I. Had their bass player in jail so because they didn’t have a guitar, used the bass and broke all the strings then gave the bass away and everyone went home
Doubt it. He was working out of Mobile, AL per his LinkedIn profile at this time. This was long before his 92.3 K-Rock days in New York or current longtime SiriusXM tenure
I've been a fan for 30 years, damn feel old. Then a chick ruined them for me when she said all their songs sound the same. Worst part is she was correct
It's just the same riff throughout the whole song!? No guitar fills? No fills whatsoever? No breakdown chorus? Just that repeating riff makes me wanna gouge my hair out of my follicles! Can be better

Thanx!! I love that kind of places, I hope someday visit Nepal. Of course, I love SD since my early 20's
ill book a trip if your for real

RIP Dennis Danell
First saw them live summer of '92 - been a fan ever since and seen them many more times. Always a great show!
First time I saw SD they opened for TSOL at SIR Studios in Hollywood. Jack taunted the lapd and it turned into a literal riot. Bought the ticket and handful of black beauties from a liquor store across the street. Fun times!
What’s black beauties?
@@thebarrochannelIt's a drug.
It's speed... (uppers)
I remember that night. I was outside the whole time.
Oh man she begins to rock was the first song i heard from social D on request video been hooked ever since
the O.C boys!! Dennis D. R.I.P ....love you man, learn to play cause of you. see you on the other side bro
Hollywood Palladium 1992 was my 1st concert out of high school! i remember Request video So cal... followed by Wally George!!!! KDOC 56!!!!
request video + wally george - name a more iconic duo!
Wow. I remember this.
Great performance.
wow....me too
Saw social D in 1992 at the pacific amphitheater in OC. Blind melon played to and Neil young headlined. What a bizarre bill. Anyone else at that show. Epic!!
I saw them on that tour in Atlanta - SD, Sonic Youth, and Neil Young. I’m sure Mike Ness just loved hanging out with Thurston Moore
@@ColbyPhillipsPhD that must of been a great show…I’m a big Sonic Youth fan but only managed to see them once
Great show! I remember all the older Neil Young fans being impressed by how good social d sounded
I saw them on this tour in Milwaukee. Neil Young headlined, Social Distortion opened, Sonic Youth rocked it out in between. It was cool seeing the old hippies boppin’ their heads to Social Distortion. Sonic Youth ended their set with their instruments kickin’ feedback and it was great, but the venue cut it off really short. So, Neil Young blasted the feedback at the end of his show.

@@davidgamboa918 Agreed! Old long-haired hippies boppin’ their heads along with S.D. Freakin’ amazing. Where’d you see the show?
I remember seeing this. Channel was from OC (but I was in LA city) and I had to use a twisted coat hanger on the TV to get better reception. That video show played a lot of cool stuff back in the day.
Haha…the Poorman! I used to watch request video when I was a kid on KDOC channel 56 in LA.
Wally George
Ch 56 KDOC used to put on any old garbage and it was great.
@@timothylangston3560 Saturday nights were Wally...
I liked metal days (Thursdays, if I remember correctly), and the punk/new wave days (Tuesdays?).
Denny D in rare form. JM giving poorman the business. Newly sober Mr. Ness is on a terror. The rhythm section lays the groundwork for radio hits . MTV did the rest.
Wait a minute… that you on the drums?
Ay youre Chris R. Ex drummer haha whats up foo
This is freakin awesome. !! Next stop Rock and Roll hall of fame
The mix match wardrobe of this guys is hilarious. Rockabilly, surfer, greaser, Mod. Totally 80s characters all around. I miss the 80s.
First time seeing SD was at a house party in OC.. I've seen them a dozen times or so.. Will be going again to the House of Blues in Anaheim in December. They always put on a great show...
Flying from Tampa to Vegas to see them. I never do that for any band
I will be at HOB Anaheim on 12/08/2022
I remember watching this on Channel 56!! I was in 9th grade. Good ol’ days.
Saw these guys in 1990, Boston at the Channel. Great show.
Awesome..I’ve seen so many great shows at the Channel…it was like a second home to me
Still got one of their tshirts still wear it. I'm 53 in the corn fields. 🤘
An ex girlfriend of mine got a tattoo of the smokin , drinkin skeleton after we saw them in Portland Oregon on this tour
I took a huge shit on Sunday and got some on my finger and wiped it on my buddy babies upper lip cause it was crying
Saw em play a free matinee show at the Celebrity Theatre in Anaheim around this time
I wish I could get the same reaction as Penn Darbis when I tell people I don’t have a job. He makes me proud to be a bum!
Love Mike's anteater voice. The real real real real deal.
Poorman! Damn that takes me back.
Love Ride 32 - Social D opening for Foo Fighters - Front row with my young son! - PRICELESS!
That was a pretty good sound for a public access set. Dang.
I remember Request Video. UHF Channel 56 baby! Social D was huge at my high school during this period. I even had a friend who got a tattoo of the skeleton-with-a-martini logo.
My friend Eric Maaske introduced me to Mike around 1995 at classic tattoo, Fullerton. I ended up buying his 55 Pontiac. Those were the days.
You still have the Ponty?
This was right about the time that they had gotten beyond being a garage band. Social Distortion has stayed strong and relevant for decades.
I’m a big fan, seen them many times. First time was in 1985 at a VFW hall with Bad Religion. But their last album sucks. The quire girls back up singer total not my style. Only two good songs on that last Hard times Nursery Rhymes album.

How big was that room, that's alot of delay for no reason
Probably Poorman trying to make it sound big.

@@christophervaldez8746 WALLY! WALLY! WALLY! Sorry, had to do that. Things I miss from growing there. KDOC, and Norms. LOL
@@kaywoodie for reals bro .... This era today is trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️
Love Social Distortion.
hello from Hollywood Joe !
This era of young Mike Ness looks like he was
the middle-brother or the cousin of Dave Gahan
(of Depeche Mode) and Andrew "Dice" Clay😎
Wow! You've remastered the video
This was the year I saw them open for The Damned at the Palladium in Hollywood.
Memories.... I remember listening to SD before my surf seshes .... taco Bell to SS of the pier
Saw them about a year after this 👏
Ness guitar sounds great 😊
❤
R.I.P Dennis
i remember buying the self titled major lable release in 1990. Saw a video on MTV.
bro looks like Andy from weeds. I love the delay on the mic
Good god. Too much hotness on one stage. 😍😛
I still say Let it Be Me is the best song in the self titled album. Mommy's Little Monster and white light,white heat,white trash are their best albums,but sex,love,and rock n roll is up there. Hell even 3 or 4 of their new songs which are supposed to go on new record are really good.
Poor man!!!
Is that the poorman pre kroq? Man i didnt know he was on ch 56 for that long
Fun fact when icp first started out this same background in a so cakked rare video
Love 👍🏻it
Seriously? where did this guy come from ?? In that time, Ness comes in with a Gibson Marshall combo like Slash or Page and a twang and a vocal like nobody. I guess I missed the magazine article where he listed his direct influences.
Go check out his solo records and you will get a pretty good idea of where his influences come from.
Good video on TH-cam called the pursuit of tone. Mike explains everything
👍👍😎
Dennis looked exactly like jonny two bags
This isn’t the entire segment 😢
I dated a girl that dated Mike for a while. She said at some point she realized every single song he wrote was about himself. It completely ruined it for her. She dumped him soon after. She was super hot too. Lol

Preety sure i saw social d.with sonic youth and n.young in glens falls N.Y. in 90 - 92
Sharing
The boysss
So fucking cool.
Sssuuupp Rick, Mark,Casey,Roger, Mike
Taco Bell?
Pedro’s taco’s please
all that fucking echo good lawd
Wally George next...
A rather odd fact: younger Mike Ness has a weird resemblance to Steven Gerard (former Liverpool midfielder)
Ha! Had to look it up, but I can definitely see it.
LOL is that Poor Man?
3 chords and the truth? Mike ness says hold on, I can do that in 2 chords.....Let It Be Me!
Where's Wally George????
Drove by the KDOC building off the 5 today.
INA
Teen 90s in Greece , bad relegion social distortion and dead kennedies
Is that Nardwar in the beginning?
Nah. Poorman was way before Nardwuar, by at least 5 years.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Is that the poor man?
The PoorMan!!!!! Hahaha. What happened to this guy? Mike Ness and his mumbling for the win!!!! I also thought I was so drunk and stoned at the shows that I could never understand what he was saying, but 30 years later and sober, I still can not understand him, lol.
With the Poor Man on KDOC Ch56!

Wow…what a drag…I remember Fenders..caught many great shows there
Poor man notes from the underground
Is that Will Pendarvis?…
Doubt it. He was working out of Mobile, AL per his LinkedIn profile at this time. This was long before his 92.3 K-Rock days in New York or current longtime SiriusXM tenure
Poorman!!!
Poorman!!!!
Poorman got burned by kroq.
Yurp. Bring back Poorman. Still listen to him on KOCI
@@cj544322 there is another guy from the old KDOC Era. Eric Blair and his show Blaring out.
He could use a writer, but he's been around forever.
I'm only here to see the poor man! Not really.
Mike Ness looks like and his music sounds like cornball 50's rockabilly, not punk.
Congratulations my friend, you discovered his secret. Good work
