I love the stories the social distortion fans always have about every song ... Social Distortion isn't awesome just for the music they do, but also they have the greatest fans a rock band could have.
That tune reflects exactly what I'm going through now. My friends turned out to be fucking backstabbers. This song helps me to go through it with a distance and light heart. Thank You, Mike!!!!!
Great video. Mike Ness is an unbelievable talent. He doesn't get enough credit. This guy should be in the R&R hall of fame. Hopefully he will be there some day SD is America's Punk Band. Ramones can't even compare. I've followed SD since the late 80's and he and SD are actually getting better as they get older.
I see social distortion tomorrow in Bologna, Italy and even sing this song, thank heaven that he knew this band long ago, always make me feel good when I listen to their songs!
Social D fuggin rocks! Period!!! Glad to see they got some new material together for their Greatest Hits album coming out. Hope to see more from them soon.
This song is too true for me right now. My best friend, might as well have been my brother has been holding me back, and stabbing me in the back alot, finally I realized it today and cut him out of my life. This song is my life right now.
You got the true 'punk' posts!!! Keep it real!! I like this song, but you gotta be you!!...and I dig that!! It's always cool to meet a Rollins fan!!...I met him at the last Black Flag show in Detroit at the Graystone. I went down there around 3 or 4 and Rollins was wheelin' in the amps on a dolly! He was the coolest mother in the world! Frick'in awesome show too!!!
I don't understand why the crowd isn't dancing. I love this band. They have made music that has always helped me. I got the oppertunity to see them play when I was 16. I also was fortunate enough to see the Ramones at 15. I have seen Social Distortion 5 times. Worth every road trip and every penny..
I think it because they from there they do not fully understand how cool the band is because its what they always knew. I am more pissed KROQ sold out and refuses to play cool stuff like this anymore. Its why the radio sucks.
I was out of the country for 10 years, could never catch a SD show. I return to the US for 2 years, SD begins tourinfg again, and comes to Cincinnati 3 weeks after I leave for Indonesia. I've missed them again. When o lord when!?! Being from OC and Mike's stomping grounds, this obsession has got to be satisfied. SD gets near Cinci, Chicago, Clevland, Columbus- I need fellow road trippers! Be back in Cinci in September. Mike bring the boys to Cincinatti again. Never stop making music Mike!
If someone asked me what American music sounds like…for some reason Social Distortion and this song always come to mind. The rock, punk, country, etc elements are all distinctly American. Only other band that comes to mind with a truly American sound is the Grateful Dead. 🔥
I was at this Weenie Roast and I can attest to the crowd being WAYYYY into it. Social Distortion absolutely killed at this show, too...even though I had seen them before at plenty of smaller venues. I was so floored by them, I immediately left when they were done! haha.
It could also be about a MILLION chicks I've known in my life. Once again, thanks for being the voice of my childhood in OC Mike. See you down @ the car wash on 17th in Costa Misery.
they have been making great albums,keep in touch.i heard mike saying on one show in italy few years ago:the most important thing in life is to dream,coz if youre not dreaming youre only sleeping.. so lets be creative
social d has been around for damn near 30 years and are better then almost every band today...why they aren't in the rock n roll hall of fame is beyond me
I never knew these guys when they were younger; I've really only recently discovered them as I was into other rock forms when they came on the scene. They are really good. Sorry I missed their early stuff.
I have been lucky enough to see Ness play and sing 6 times. I will do my best to see Social Distortion as many more as I can. The day off Will requested. Or I might just have to call in sick. Either way. There songs mean that much to me. Knoxville T.N
Right-o bro! I toured with them with my band and we were to sign with 13th floor records in 1984 but everyone got drug problems. Good to seem Mike kicking it hard in 2007.
Punk is all about doing what you want even if that means sacrificing and not conforming to the worlds wants...Nobody embodies those values like Social D. They make the songs they want sing they way they want and mash up all different types of styles
"You shake my hand while your pissing on my leg." One of the best lines in a song I have ever heard.
Couldn’t agree more!
This song changed my life and gave me the strength to move on from fake friends. Thank you Social Distortion ❤️
Hells yes
"I'm leaving you to sink in all your glory. For me and you, it's the end of the story...."
Mike Ness and Mike Muir write some of the best lyrics.
I found this song years after its release and I am so happy I did. it's changed my life so much 👌
I love the stories the social distortion fans always have about every song ...
Social Distortion isn't awesome just for the music they do, but also they have the greatest fans a rock band could have.
I've seen them since the another state of mind tour and Mike has always and will always kick ass
Wow I didn't expect them to be so old. Not that that is a bad thing, they make great music. Apperantly since '78.
greatest punk band ever. Lyrically and musically. Just amazing.
Social D is one of the best bands of the History!!! Sick solos, sick melodies, awesome band!!
Social D is the soundtrack of my life!!

SAW EM THIS SUMMER IN CLEVELAND, HAD DRUMMER WHO WAS THE SON OF DRUMMER IN LOS LOBOS....ROCKED

Mike just keeps coming with the songs, this is one of the few bands that I can say I like every song they have.
That tune reflects exactly what I'm going through now. My friends turned out to be fucking backstabbers. This song helps me to go through it with a distance and light heart. Thank You, Mike!!!!!

Ness is SOMEHOW still a totally under-represented gem of American punk. Social D > Ramones by FAR
I see social distortion tomorrow in Bologna, Italy and even sing this song, thank heaven that he knew this band long ago, always make me feel good when I listen to their songs!
I would not want to piss of Mike Ness
Great performance by a great band!
i seen them in the 90s, one great american rock and roll band!, mike ness you rock and thanks for all the great music!
Holy ship, I have never seen a crowd witness such greatness yet remain so motionless!
Social D fuggin rocks! Period!!! Glad to see they got some new material together for their Greatest Hits album coming out. Hope to see more from them soon.

Social D, still rockin, I've always loved you guys and I always will, you were with me so many times, Rock ON!!!
This song is too true for me right now. My best friend, might as well have been my brother has been holding me back, and stabbing me in the back alot, finally I realized it today and cut him out of my life.
This song is my life right now.

You got the true 'punk' posts!!! Keep it real!! I like this song, but you gotta be you!!...and I dig that!!

Great song..Great band..Greatings from Portugal..
Mike Ness = One of the best frontmen ever to grace this planet.
I love this song
I'm 46 years old. I am very lucky to make it this far. Social Distortion has helped me on many a dark and hard time.
I don't understand why the crowd isn't dancing. I love this band. They have made music that has always helped me. I got the oppertunity to see them play when I was 16.

"You shake my hand while your pissing on my leg" Yeah, I know how that feels. Fucking classic line.
Either way. Thank you very much Social Distortion.

By far, this song is one of my favs for so many reasons.
