Wow. While the voice of Mike Ness sounds the same as it did on their albums a few years later, he looks like a teenager in this. Though he was born in April of 1962 and this is from 1983 so he was still a youngster.
Saw them in ft Lauderdale last week. Awesome. But..... I know hes from orange county, this is much better than 10 minutes between songs for him to explain 😅
Yea that’s true. But I don’t think social distortion would have been as successful with Derek on drums. Because the sound of the band changed in subsequent years following this video. I can’t see Derek playing the drums on their self titled or prison bound albums. Those albums were highly successful. Derek and Brent were very punk and the sound was amazing when they played together.

I've seen these videos from this rehearsal some good years ago. Thanks for this! The real deal here is Derek O'Brien on drums. Fantastic showing!
Wow. This is like a live "greatest hits" performance for me.

Good to see that early Social Distortion was just as raw as the rest of us in rehearsal. Great footage here!😎👍✨
Mike and this band are just on another level
Amazing though. Suit up this is happening, no matter what. Don't doubt yourself.
So raw and Mike’s voice is young and almost castrati😂

Curious is this at pulsars studios??? Just under the bridge from my apartments in P Town as a kid.. we practiced there a few times.
THIS is Social D!
DOB!
They were never as good once Derek O’Brien left the band…it really changed the whole sound of the band…great fuckin’ drummer.

150% agreed. Derek is something else, beyond next level. H
