SD deserves major credit for giving us rockabilly/punk/country all wrapped up in a big ball of furious, riffy guitar driven energy. Mike Ness IS Social Distortion- may his sandpaper lungs shout out forever.
I caught Social Distortion with Bad Religion last week. Opener was Lovecrimes, Julien Ness's band. He is an absolute spitting image of Mike in this video!
adams avenue? The theater was a bulk carpet outlet last time I was in san diego. San diego to ventura was killer punk in the eightes. a buddy handed me mommys little monster on a day off and said listen to this it will change your life. listened to 8 hours of mommys and clash green album on repeat . He was right, it was the single most defining influence in my life. cut my hair off with safest scissors, quit my job at Mammoth and moved to valley center into a house full of punks. i'm 59 and passed a thumb drive of social d , bad religion, ramones , misfits to my grandson today, also told him 'never trust a fucking hippy' . So there will be at least one kid starting kindergarten with the answers in hand. single bigget regret; blowing off DK to get laid and never got the chance to see them after that. also put keith morris' version of gimme gimme gimme on the thumb drive, cuz it is by far the best version
Mike is a class gentleman, when I was 13 he got me into a show in Los Angeles, I rode up with friends from Huntington Beach, and I had zero dollars, I was bumming for change, Mike got me in. Such a nice authentic old school gentleman
(this is my husband's account) My dad took me to see Niel Young for my 30th birthday and to my surprise, these guys opened for him and stayed to play a few songs with Niel for the encore. It was the first time my dad had heard social distortion anf he loved it. It was a great night!
How cool is that! There's a couple recent vids where Mike talks about how a few years ago it was older fans turning their kids onto Social D and bringing them to the shows, and now it's young fans bringing their parents! Their music will live forever.
Life was better in those days. Simpler and less stress. I was working and on my own in the 90s and I will still say its way better than today. Money went further, People were not so offended and we could do what we wanted. No real supervision and we turned out fine. Now everyone is paranoid and delusional locking their kids in the house all the time. Now we have internet morons who are trying to run things. Those people we could ignore back in those days are now front and center. Sorry to rant lol
@@vikinglife6316glad to say I’m not like this, Just turned 17 not too long, spent most of my early teens going to underground punk shows in Phoenix, and now do the same in Chicago. As I’m typing this I’m going to one later today. Glad I never stayed locked up and alone, ain’t never needed anyone to go with me ether. I wish I could’ve seen Social D in the 90s or even their early days in the 80s. I envy yall who grew up or just lived in the 90s
Nice one ace! 👍🏻 I too was transformed by punk circa late 1986, when I was 13 , early1987, started the band summer of 1988 right before I was 15, and by the time I was your age, we opening for Fugazi at Drexel U in March of 1991. Punk helped getting though so much when I was a teenager, of course, things will change and evolve (and sadly in most cases, Devolve,) but at the base of punk is be true to yourself, which can help through most things. Anyways, I won’t preach no more 😂, but just keep it up, do your best, and the worm 🪱 will turn!
I was at this show. It was damn cold outside and nearly a hundred degrees inside the absolutely packed club. Have never seen this video. Thanks for the upload. And thanks for all the great tunes Social D!
You can’t see the show with them in the way. I actually like this band, but I’m 14 so by the law of meme culture, I have to say it: [ O K. B O O M E R ]
No. Ur caught up in dickies and wife beaters. Haha. Mike's voice is herendous here, and this is after making it. But whatever- it's the band that wanna bees fluked too, to get them in the punk or rocka alternative club. However, this has been my opinion for decades now, and so I'm just an old fart speaking out still about Mike's fake harsh voice and attitude. Met much of these guys and types years ago, not so harsh, just doing their thing that attacks the peeps. There is much better out there, just go out to search for it.
Sat next to Mike at my friends wedding. While Matt was on stage we shot the shit about guitars and wives. He is a good guy. Funny and respectful, Not arrogant or an asshole by any means.
My band did a show with Social D back in 1982 when they were traveling in an old school bus with Youth Brigade.The tour was filmed and called ANOTHER STATE OF MIND,after the tune which Mike wrote during the tour.They had each been taking a qualude before each show,and, in Hartford,CT., they were down to their last half pill each and broke up a week later.If not for Monk,a great guy who wore many hats during the tour,they wouldnt have made it half as far on the tour.The film is one of the best punk rock films ever.
I love ANOTHER STATE OF MIND lol. Seriously though... If you want to see what it is like being a band really trying to make it, watch this movie. This was before youtube so you actually had to go out and play shows.
Edward Feltch hi which did was part ? I was really closed pal with bones from 76% uncertain, and later with the guys from upfront...bought lod of stuff at trash record shop in ct (danbury ?)
Gianluca Tricarico trash american style i guess was the name of that store...had every rarety you could lookin´for...i dig a lot of old bands from your area...violent children, reflex from pain, c.i.a., vatican commandos..
Someone asked what band I was in when we opened for SOCIAL DISTORTION in 1982,it was YOUTH KORPS,a band I started in 1981.I first started playing guitar with the formation of that band,my only previous experience was playing bass for the HATES,the earliest Texas punk band.I actually quit REALLY RED to join HATES,Ronnie Bond asked me to play bass in RR,and I practiced with them but didn't really like the tunes they were doing in March of 1979.When Christian Arnheiter offered me the bass in HATES,I eagerly jumped ship.
Amazing these guys came into their own in the late 1980s, blazed through the 1990s sounding like nobody else, and then wrote a miraculous album in the early 2000s and just kept touring. Very few bands have this kind of longevity. This is the best so far away I've ever heard, but I'm sure they played it like this countless times.
Stop it already. Fuckin plenty of bands that killed ans still kill it. Nothing too real hear. 1st record has some merrit. And if u give credit to ball and chain and story of my life then great. Other than that, not much but a dude faking rough vocals and attitude. But what do I know, I'm just an old dude on the internet.
@@dirkdiggler6230 I was going to say the exact same thing. Lmao! I was a shitty student all through school, but misspelled words and bad punctuation really pisses me off now.
Always been a big fan of punk but something about social d has always talked to me in a way words don't describe maybe because I can relate with the songs mike writes I come from a broken home and have self destructed my life to the point that I am now writing this from prison !! No shit I am doing a 5 yr bid as we speak but my homie has a cellie in here so I'm watching this and making believe !!! Much respect from the big Q !!!
Have been following Social D since day 1. Mike coulda called it quits or become some lame hair metal band. But he stuck to his punk rock roots & never once compromised!! 👍👍
I was 11 and playing Sega Genesis at this point in time. I didn't know about SD until 2000. I got to see them in Tucson Az. I got knocked around a little on the edge of the roving mosh pit, so much energy!
This is true. I fact checked it myself, so I concede I was wrong on that particular fact; however, Mike Ness' swagger and dress is unmistakably southwestern.
+VredesStall in reality, the guy that Dice wanted to portray, Mike Ness is actually really that guy. That being said, Dice is alright, I think he gets a bad rap.
I saw them live during this tour. My friend & I were invited backstage by Mike Ness because I had met him earlier on the street of the venue while he was outside smoking. Our fresh faced 16 & 19 year olds ( then) eagerly awaited to get backstage while the rougher older girls pushed passed us. The road guy took one look at us & said ,” No. you two are not coming back here. I see what goes on back here.” Man, I’m glad he didn’t let us back. Big fan though. 🤷🏼♀️
Im enjoying this right now, never in a million years thought I would be in retirement listening to Social D with my 89 yr old mom at the table. Grew up going to shows they were playing all over the place in the 80's but I never got over to CBGB's. Anyhow Social D always has a special place in my heart. Thanks for all the years of punk rock fun & entertainment 💙
yah ive always thought this too, doesnt get nearly enough credit..u can hear his influences shining thru his leads yet his own style rounds it out into something thats all very much his own.
It really is a shame that CBGB's is no longer around. It just goes to show that music isn't what it used to be. That place was a great place for shows.
I once entered CBGB with Pete Shelley and the rest of BUZZCOCKS after they performed at Maxwell's in Hoboken.We went from CB's to Gildersleeves,another long gone club.What a night!Nothin's like it used to be,except me.
Zebediah Roberts i remember mike and mh riding bikes over oc, well mostly me mike was afraid of the rifles, pcp, machines and such in the hills of corona and western riverside.
All the great punk or small venues are gone. There was one in south Cincinnat(Newport Ky.) Called the jockey club. All the great punk bands came there in the 80's. You could stage dive then go get a shot. It's long gone, just like all the cool punk venues of that era.
+Chris Turnblom Then they went to shit in late 90's I guess they wanted to be the family music channel that only talked about fake pop stars and rappers who all they had to do was rap about money. Sorry world need talent and a vision of want you want your world to be.
I seen and hit the fattest line I ever witnessed in my life there.Took the beast into my right nasal passage,and my right eye was half shut the rest of the night.Nobody was a stranger there,and even my underwear was soaked.Must of killed 7,000 cals that night and morning.
I can’t believe my fave band/singer turned out to be an electric scooter EV vegan woke clown fckwit after singing about prison, hot rods, Harley’s, and drug life for 25 plus years. 🤡👋later Ness.. go refill your double hot chocolate latte at Starbucks bozo😂
@spungar patar wtf does that supposed to mean (pretty sure Mike's a millionaire) He was referring to the band butchering their own songs being a bunch of hacks
@@marcatkinson5187 Because he cleaned/grew up? He's always stayed true to his music - nothing wrong with making a few dimes after living in the gutter trying to make it for many years. And who the fuck are you displaying all this knowledge - mate of his?
I saw Social D at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon back in 2008 (give or take a year). That venue is unique in that it has a spring supported dance floor. As people start moving with the beat, the floor gets moving. It's an odd feeling that mimics a very small earthquake. Anyhow, these guys were rocking the hell out of that place. I'd never seen or even heard of them before. I was there as an invite from a hardcore fan who insisted I see them. WOW! What a kickass show. I'm so glad I went. What "sealed the deal" for me was their rendition of "Ring of Fire." I was blown away. They stayed close enough to the original they didn't butcher the song, which doesn't always happen. Social D covered that song with total taste and it's now the only version I listen to.
Greatest American punk rock band there is, STOP!!! Orange County forever! I saw these guys the first time at 14, then i saw them 53 more times, and counting!
Greatest American punk rock band there is, STOP!!! Orange County forever! I saw these guys the first time at 14, then i saw them 53 more times, and counting! u want a cookie?
Social D & Steel Pulse are hands down the 2 bands I’ve seen the most…and many times not even intentionally. I’ve seen both probably 10-12 times and at least half were times I attended this festival or that festival and, lo and behold, who just happens to be rocking a set (one that I’ll be sure not to miss) that day. This is by no means a complaint, I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen all too many better live bands…both of those bands are absolute iron men of touring and have been hard charging for 30+ years now. It’s truly impressive stuff. Love me some Social D…rock on boys!
Hour of Darkness and Let it be me were my favorite songs by them along with Telling Them and Like an outlaw . such awesome songs. Then through these eyes became my favorite years later
Anna Morales I saw them at that semi-infamous show at that big old abandoned church called the Temple, down Town Phx. that was a great place and time to be young , 👍cheers 👍to all the old Scenesters.. Mad Gardens et al..TSOL @ Calderon Ballroom.. DKs @ Party Gardens ..
Love it. Favorite band ever. I've seen them dozens of times and every show rocks. Their sound, their micing, everything is just so dead on. In 92 we were even escorted in the back door of a local club by the opening band and I made my way right across the stage next to Mike during the show. Awesome times.
Punk or not punk - doens't matter to me. They're just great! One of the few bands that actually sounds as good onstage as on a record. With autotune and shit, any can do this nowadays, but SxDx did it 20 years ago and still does it without autotune!
So much of the Ramones in Social D. Bridging the gap between Rock and Roll and early Punk. Damn, Ring of Fire @ CBGB's 1992 by Social D! Damn, just DAMN!
I was in a dive bar in SF. some people associated with the band came in and put some of us on the guest list. Just got out of jail.living in the basement of a video store.The bar was where I shaved and brushed my teeth,perfect!THANKS!
Saw them on this tour at the old Asbury Lanes!!! One of the best bands live, I've seen soo many times over the years....Ness just keeps getting better with age!!!
Saw them at the 9:30 Club in D.C. 1990 I think. They were the Headline act with Flock of Sea Gulls. What's his name was cool at THAT time for having tattoo 'sleeves' which was radical..
I'm glad you have the opportunity to see them but they are nothing like they were back then. Mike's voice was better, Maurer on bass, Dannell on rhythm, and still that danger element of going to punk shows. They were so bad ass

The world needs more bands like this and more guys that are true to the music. Not just looking for some quick cash
Mike did go more "commercial" & less punk, although he expanded his fan base & became bigger than ever.
yeah, TSOL was much better as a lame hair metal band (ha ha)
Mike Ness in a hair metal, the thought gives me the creeps.
Mike Ness can't sing so he didn't have much of a choice.

Great album for sure

This has got to be my favorite setlist I've heard by them. Love the early 90's albums by SD. A classic performance for sure.

I saw them on this tour. they just kick butt. I had this on VHS a long time finallygot a better version on DVD. I can watch this everyday.
his lead style is Bad Ass! Its great.
yah ive always thought this too, doesnt get nearly enough credit..u can hear his influences shining thru his leads yet his own style rounds it out into something thats all very much his own.
Mike Ness was and still is a great songwriter. Would have loved to see Social D at a true iconic joint like CBGB's.
I remembering jamming to this in a Kmart warehouse as we unloaded trucks in 1989 to 1993. It made the day better, especially when........
Love this band! Get well soon, Mike! 🥰
Is he better?
It really is a shame that CBGB's is no longer around. It just goes to show that music isn't what it used to be. That place was a great place for shows.
I once entered CBGB with Pete Shelley and the rest of BUZZCOCKS after they performed at Maxwell's in Hoboken.We went from CB's to Gildersleeves,another long gone club.What a night!Nothin's like it used to be,except me.
Zebediah Roberts i remember mike and mh riding bikes over oc, well mostly me mike was afraid of the rifles, pcp, machines and such in the hills of corona and western riverside.
the landlord raised the rent to 70 grand per month. That's why it's gone. I used to play there all the time
The Bowery use to be CBGB and homeless people. I heard it's been gentrified now. The old neighborhood was part of the whole experience.
All the great punk or small venues are gone. There was one in south Cincinnat(Newport Ky.) Called the jockey club. All the great punk bands came there in the 80's. You could stage dive then go get a shot.
It's long gone, just like all the cool punk venues of that era.
ha I remember seeing Bad Luck on MTV. I was goin "holy shit! social D got on mtv ...the times they are a changin."
+Chris Turnblom Then they went to shit in late 90's I guess they wanted to be the family music channel that only talked about fake pop stars and rappers who all they had to do was rap about money. Sorry world need talent and a vision of want you want your world to be.
Great band that's all I can say
Mike Ness we need more of this great music and sound where are you
I remember the first time I saw the real world on mtv... I thought holy shit, times r changing, and not in a good way 🙄
Thank you Mike and friends for so many good years and shows, the old way. Social Distortion forever.
Social d in my favorite years! What a show! Love their sound
I miss CBGB's.
r.i.p cbgb homeless
krazimuffin minus the 👃smell one year later...
🇩🇪💋
krazimuffin no shit hombre
I seen and hit the fattest line I ever witnessed in my life there.Took the beast into my right nasal passage,and my right eye was half shut the rest of the night.Nobody was a stranger there,and even my underwear was soaked.Must of killed 7,000 cals that night and morning.
Me to brother
I think this holds up well over time. I was in to punk/rockabilly and they mixed it up with honest soulful rock power.
I can’t believe my fave band/singer turned out to be an electric scooter EV vegan woke clown fckwit after singing about prison, hot rods, Harley’s, and drug life for 25 plus years. 🤡👋later Ness.. go refill your double hot chocolate latte at Starbucks bozo😂
He's got it tuned down a half-step and hammering the low end. Classic SD.
Man, with you tube, so much music is available, it's great : )
As someone who never saw them until the late 90’s, this is a REAL TREAT. W O W. Lovin this!
If you've never been to CBGB's, it was about the size of a Subway sandwich restaurant.
and using the bathroom was quite an experience.
This is my favourite Gig of Social Distortion ever! Great Concert, Best Band
i have been a Social D fan forever, and this concert rocks hard!
so you're a punker eh? LMFAO
“You can run all your life, but not go anywhere”…..I can relate to this lyric.
This band is so underrated. To this day they have yet to sell out. Thank you for sharing.
Mike is now a total, complete sellout. Sad.
@spungar patar wtf does that supposed to mean (pretty sure Mike's a millionaire) He was referring to the band butchering their own songs being a bunch of hacks
Mike owns a bunch of real estate in Orange County.
@@marcatkinson5187 Because he cleaned/grew up? He's always stayed true to his music - nothing wrong with making a few dimes after living in the gutter trying to make it for many years. And who the fuck are you displaying all this knowledge - mate of his?
@@marcatkinson5187 So he doesn't subscribed to conservative beliefs he's a sellout?
I saw Social D at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon back in 2008 (give or take a year). That venue is unique in that it has a spring supported dance floor. As people start moving with the beat, the floor gets moving. It's an odd feeling that mimics a very small earthquake.
Anyhow, these guys were rocking the hell out of that place. I'd never seen or even heard of them before. I was there as an invite from a hardcore fan who insisted I see them. WOW! What a kickass show. I'm so glad I went.
What "sealed the deal" for me was their rendition of "Ring of Fire." I was blown away. They stayed close enough to the original they didn't butcher the song, which doesn't always happen. Social D covered that song with total taste and it's now the only version I listen to.
I'm so glad that I saw them in 1990. This is one awesome video available on TH-cam. Thank you to whoever posted it.
Greatest American punk rock band there is, STOP!!! Orange County forever! I saw these guys the first time at 14, then i saw them 53 more times, and counting!

u want a cookie?
@@iggypopisgod9 No cookie needed . Thanks for asking f@cktard.
SD remind me of being in London in the early 1980’s as a college student and the bands I would hear in the clubs - excellent content boys!
Only hardcore folks had sleeve tats in 1992. Respect from Fullerton, CA.
wow... Prison Bound... love all of this. I need my time machine to go back... Social D, the best.
Damn, to be in the room for this one...lucky dogs. Thx for the post
Watching in 2020 quarantine!

SD in their PRIME ! All 4 cylinders (Ness & crew) firing in perfect time. Hell yes ! Thanx 4 sharing !!!
I was there, front row. Crazy to see this 30 years later.
Another time traveler
Lol there were no rows in CBGBS a floor in front if the stage an upstairs like lift a bar lol
I was born 93 so I would have NEVER seen this without the tube. Thank you tube for giving me company with late night beer drinking nights.
and now I can buy a full outfit at CBGB instead of seeing Social Distortion. Thanks world
lol
Yeah what's that all about. I already have clothes.
No! CBGB is still alive......in Vegas, lol. F*ckin ridiculous like The Ramones ranch in Nevada
My favorite band in the whole world
Watch in 2019 yeahhh...
@Suffer In Silence Mike ness doesnt like alt right people like ben shapiro
@@TheLegoboy225 nobody cares. Its all about the music.
Almost 2020
2020✨
Social D & Steel Pulse are hands down the 2 bands I’ve seen the most…and many times not even intentionally.
I’ve seen both probably 10-12 times and at least half were times I attended this festival or that festival and, lo and behold, who just happens to be rocking a set (one that I’ll be sure not to miss) that day.
This is by no means a complaint, I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen all too many better live bands…both of those bands are absolute iron men of touring and have been hard charging for 30+ years now. It’s truly impressive stuff.
Love me some Social D…rock on boys!
This is the best. So happy to see it again and thanks for posting it. Good God Almight, never ever a man.... Mike Ness in 1992. Wow.
Here, still got Social Distortion in my ear and its 2020. 92 was long ago, this is nice to see, brings back some memories
28 years. Man time fucking flies.
Never been lucky enough to see SD in concert, this was awesome!
Same. Not yet
Only band I would stand in line for, great live band, saw them a number of times. SD por vida
you must. do it b4 u die. make it happen
this set includes the best version of 'ring of fire' i've heard SD perform. great upload - these guys were on fire.
Social D. has crossed my mind many times since the whole social d. thing started
So Rock'N'Roll it hurts.
For the best of course ^x^
I was there for this show....awesome.
Hour of Darkness and Let it be me were my favorite songs by them along with Telling Them and Like an outlaw . such awesome songs. Then through these eyes became my favorite years later
Wtf mine too! Plus cold feelings
Like an Outlaw is my fav track on Prison Bound
Badass gig! I was in the AirForce stationed in Turkey when this concert happened.
i was in 7th grade when i saw them at the metro in phx in '86.still keeping it real today
Anna Morales I saw them at that semi-infamous show at that big old abandoned church called the Temple, down Town Phx. that was a great place and time to be young , 👍cheers 👍to all the old Scenesters.. Mad Gardens et al..TSOL @ Calderon Ballroom.. DKs @ Party Gardens ..
your amazing Mike Ness please come back to Redding, Chico area i love every single song you do!
My favourite show sad that I wasn't born yet
I see the back of my head in third row. Glad to find this video - Thanks so much for sharing!
Love it. Favorite band ever. I've seen them dozens of times and every show rocks. Their sound, their micing, everything is just so dead on. In 92 we were even escorted in the back door of a local club by the opening band and I made my way right across the stage next to Mike during the show. Awesome times.
2020 and I’m finally seeing and hearing this!
RIP Dennis Dannell. Great grinder
Best video on TH-cam
Punk or not punk - doens't matter to me. They're just great!
One of the few bands that actually sounds as good onstage as on a record.
With autotune and shit, any can do this nowadays, but SxDx did it 20 years ago and still does it without autotune!
God i miss those days and cbgbs. Best times of my life
Love this band so much❤
So much of the Ramones in Social D. Bridging the gap between Rock and Roll and early Punk. Damn, Ring of Fire @ CBGB's 1992 by Social D! Damn, just DAMN!
There are no words to describe how awesome this is. Thanks man.
I was in a dive bar in SF. some people associated with the band came in and put some of us on the guest list. Just got out of jail.living in the basement of a video store.The bar was where I shaved and brushed my teeth,perfect!THANKS!
Saw them on this tour at the old Asbury Lanes!!! One of the best bands live, I've seen soo many times over the years....Ness just keeps getting better with age!!!
Saw them at the 9:30 Club in D.C. 1990 I think. They were the Headline act with Flock of Sea Gulls. What's his name was cool at THAT time for having tattoo 'sleeves' which was radical..
Radical ... if you’d never seen Rose Tattoo I guess 😂
I just bought tickets to see them
What show?
SixdropD I am seeing them in Paso Robles on September 11 at the Vina Robles Amphitheater!
+Jaclyn Locascio I was there as well, good show. Opener was good as well. cheers
nice!!
I'm glad you have the opportunity to see them but they are nothing like they were back then. Mike's voice was better, Maurer on bass, Dannell on rhythm, and still that danger element of going to punk shows. They were so bad ass
