I once saw Mike Ness(The singer of Social Distortion pull a comb out of his pocket while singing this song and comb his hair back *mid verse.* Didn’t miss a beat. What a performer. One of the all time great frontmen.
If you want Social Distortion with more lyrical depth, Don't Drag Me Down off of White Light White Heat White Trash, or Reach for the Sky off of Sex Love and Rock and Roll. Don't even save them for reactions. Just give them a listen. Those two albums are absolutely solid through and through.
Lol the REM reference I would have never compared the 2 before but you are not wrong at all! As soon as you said REM I instantly thought of Stand in the place where you live.. As much as I dont want to compare them together lol But you are right! You happened to have listened to their 2 biggest radio play songs! These 2 songs were on KROQ (here in Los Angeles) 10 times a day back in the late 90s - 2000s! I love these songs but if you want the songs with soul and substance you got to go with non radio hits! I recommended on your ball and chain reaction video to listen to "Reach For The Sky" so Ill stick with that lol. Another piece of info about Social D is their amazing Live! Everyone should go see them live. Id even feel safe taking the kids to a Social D show!
I find it hilarious that country fans never seem to notice the country influences, but set this in front of someone who isn't around country a whole lot and it's the first thing they'll mention. 😂
Both Ball and Chain, and this one, are from their self titled album that came out in 1990(their first for a major label). The REM song Joel mentioned came out in 88. This doesn’t necessarily have to do with the song, but REM were among(if not actually leading the pack, I forget) the first handful of bands that helped make alternative rock a thing. And Alternative was born from the punk scene. Not that anyone ever considered them a punk band(I don’t think?). PS - SkaPunker, recommend on of their earlier songs would ya? These are great, but everyone knows these, and never learns where they came from
btw, there's one more social D song i requested coming up soon -"i was wrong". maybe i'll request "mommy's little monster" next month or "reach for the sky".
@@skapunker21 oh, cool. Look forward to seeing what they think of I Was Wrong. Mommy’s Little Monster would awesome. Reach For The Sky would great too. Sex, Love, and Rock N Roll was pretty disappointing, but that’s definitely one of the bright spots
@@skapunker21 reach for the sky!!! Its a song everyone should have in their back pocket playlist for a pick me up when needed! Its an Anthem!! Great job with the Social D requests

I commented for Reach For The Sky as well! Its an Anthem! A feel good uplifting song that I always jam loud when I need a pick me up!
Social D is essentially a giant nostalgia bomb with a '50s greaser aesthetic. While I'm not a huge fan, they def have their own unique sound.
Very much the rockabilly era of social d.
I cant believe you never heard this song. Where are you from Ohio?
More REM!!!

again, i'm very happy you both liked the song. braincell to joel because chuck couldn't keep up his whispering.
🤣
Mike Ness & Social D are known for incorporating a rockabilly sound in a lot of their music. And this song was released in 1990.
ONE & A HALF BRAINSELVEZ . FUCKIN' A ROCK IN LYFE! FUCK IT ROCK!!!!
i always heard a touch of rockabilly in social d especially in somewhere between heaven and hell
Gotta check out Bad Luck and/or When She Begins from the album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
Oldest Social D is pretty punk. After the first two albums they’re basically the best country punk band ever.
Cowpunk
I got to say the beginning, "GAY' !!!! LOL
I find it hilarious that country fans never seem to notice the country influences, but set this in front of someone who isn't around country a whole lot and it's the first thing they'll mention. 😂
Mike Ness is such a legend. still insane that social D been around since the 70s
Is that a pool kids shirt?!
It is! We both have the same one too 😆
@@KnightscastStudios that's awesome! I love their music and actually got to see them live about a year ago.
We just saw them a few weeks ago. Such a fun show!
We also did a few reviews and reactions to them. Love their tunes. 🍻 - Joel
@KnightscastStudios I'm a new viewer so I will def have to check out your reactions!
For Punk Rock Social D you got to check out their 1st album. "Mommy's Little Monster"
.
Both Ball and Chain, and this one, are from their self titled album that came out in 1990(their first for a major label). The REM song Joel mentioned came out in 88.
