    Cool detail: The detective(?) is carrying a M1903 Springfield. He's in his 30s, which means he would have likely been a WWI veteran. More than likely he would have carried that exact weapon in the trenches, and known it exceptionally well. It only had 5 in the magazine. He fired only 5 rounds, and appeared to hit center target in 4 out of the 5. First one into the engine block, second into the driver, third into Brent's character's chest, fourth appears to miss, fifth into Ness' character.

      +Mike Anderson . I also like the suble cues in the plot. This was a heist that went sour. You can grasp from the newspaper headline that they'd done prior robberies, but not a mass killing. "Sick Boy" is a grim and mean dude, he never sheds a tear, yet he's traumatized by flashbacks about the murders when he enters the barn at 4:21.
      Like in animation, where every cell matters - every camera shot in this video contributed to the story or the characters.

      Mike Ness's lyrics and music are super pretty basic. English is not my native language either , but I speak fluidly. I would suggest learning other lyrics from other bands, for ex. listen to NoFX's Punk In Drublic, awesome lyrics that'll make you think and learn words, and shit. Or for that matter try anything from Bad REeligion. haha. Not to down SD, one of my favorite bands, just my 2 cents.

    This is SOOO well done. Even better than most movies about the era. I must have watched it at least half a hundred times. The very definition of badass backed by an absolute killer track.
    Perfectly captures the midwestern armed bank robber craze of the late 1920's. Bonnie and Clyde being the most famous example.
    As an enthusiast of the era, I just love the attention to detail. Especially that Ness is wearing gloves. You see so many Tommy gun scenes without them and those suckers ran HOT! They would fry your hands if you didn't have them.
    Kudos SD. Superb work on this!

    Everyone who's saying these guys "aren't punk"...obviously, you don't really know their entire catalog and/or history about Social Distortion. Just because they aren't repetitive Bad Religion type of punk (still like you, BR) doesn't make them any less punk. They've obviously matured up since they've formed.
    Yeah, I actually prefer their material up to the 2000s (Sex, Love and Rock &Roll was honestly my least favorite album), but this one is kinda back-to-basic, sobering and definitely lives up to not just punk itself, but for who the band is.

There is so much love poured into all of it. My life at one point was total and complete shit. I felt so defeated and so useless and so unloved and so broken. And through it all, I didn't have anything. But I did have those records, and I would just drink and play them. I have the same reverence for Mike Ness that I hold for Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.

      dragoncustomcycles They actually hold 7 in a magazine and one in the chamber. So it's 7 a pop.

      Joseph Damiano Do you even fucking math, 7 in the mag, one in the chamber, that'd be 8. But you're wrong in that regard anyways, it's 8 in the mag, one in the chamber, 9 rounds total.

    Well I'm a gangster 1934
    Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores
    And all you men, women and kids
    best get out the way
    I just left your town, took all your loot,
    bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
    a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes
    And I'm already gone, I like the pool of the blood and sorrow,
    I've got the Machine Gun Blues
    I'll be outta of here for the break of dawn,
    I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,
    got to stop and bury the cash, then get some more
    There's only one thing on my mind,
    that's making it across that ol' state line,
    but I've a hell of avenging bullets,
    waiting there for me
    And I'm already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction,
    I've got the Machine Gun Blues
    I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
    I've got the Machine Gun Blues
    I'm public enemy #1
    I'm sorry for all the things that I've done
    If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal
    And I'm already gone, I've left a trail of devastation,
    I've got the Machine Gun Blues
    I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
    I've got the Machine Gun Blues

    • @WayneShay00
      @WayneShay00 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Sigh Naps . Definately - so many little details in this fit together, right down to the gunsmoke hanging in the room at 3:38. The direction and camera angles were excellent, plus filming this at Union Station really helped set the 30s L.A. ambiance.
      The video not only tells a story but shows some complexity in Ness's character and the shoeshine boy. As horrible as the crime scene was, the boy wouldn't be a witness - so we get to wonder why. Fear of retribution by the gangsters? Or maybe some sense that Ness's character wasn't 100% rotten, since the boy saw the other gangsters open fire on the customers and employees which began the mayhem...further complicated by seeing Ness duel with the soldier, and then sparing the man's wife, who walked in at the end.
      Dunno if Ness ever had any acting offers - but he was a badass gangster in this video! His own character is interesting too. You can sense at 3:11 he didn't want this heist to get so far out of control, and he's haunted by it later in the barn scene. Even studying the confrontation with the soldier, Ness waited for him to shoot first, and had tried to warn him off with that "head shake".
      And to top it off, I'd say that the other band members pulled their weight too, during their own cutaway scenes. They looked their parts and helped carry the story.

  • @MarkAllenHyenaMotorcade

    of all the albums that Social Distortion has released through the years, I am most taken with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes....I bought it initially thinking that it would be a "middle of the road" CD that most artists make at this point in their career trajectory, but I instantly found a couple of songs that I liked out of the gate and from that point, it just got better and better. Now roughly three months since buying the CD, if it's possible to wear grooves in a CD, I have done it...

Mike's sure lookin old, but he's still a punk rock god with style his own. Hope Social D keeps puttin new shit out for many more years, even when Mike's sittin in a rocking-chair playin his guitar.
