I love that he's got his toggle taped down to treble. That's a pretty badass thing to do. Maybe it's to keep him from flipping it if he hits it accidentally, but I like to think it's a message: "I play the bridge pickup - I don't need any other fucking pickups."
Saw em a few times back in the day... best show was at the Bernard Pub in STL (burned down years ago) on their Prison Bound tour.. only had maybe 30 people in the bar and it got real personal... just a cool bunch of guys and Ness is the man.
I have now had a dishwasher soap commercial and a mucus commercial talk over this video. I'm pissed and I urge everyone to boycot any product that RUclips puts up on these videos that destroy the song by talking over the music. Being inundated with ads is bad enough, but I draw the line with the ones which ruin the song.
after listening to sad vacation, youre right. but it sounds like an older blues number called 'fuck off and get over yourself, no rock is original' or something like that : )
He "stole" it? How the fuck can you "steal" a rhythm?! Yes, the rhythms are slightly similar. But the two songs are completely different. The same kind of thing has been happening for hundreds of years in music.
EPIC band...But my god....the years took a toll on this poor man.....but i bet it can kick any of these new shitty poor excuse to call themselves if bads and "music artist" ass any day....
LOOK LIKE NUMBA69 IS HAVING A BAD DAY. YOU NEED TO GET LAY BAD ,DUDE. ANYONE WHO STRUGGLE TO SING AND GASPING FOR AIR WILL RUIN THE SONG.IF YOU COMPARE THE ORIGINAL SONG AND THAN COMPARE IT AT THE CONCERT, IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
"I'm born to lose and destined to fail"
My favorite lyrics of all time.
fuck yeah man Mike Ness attended the same high school as me!!! thats so fucking dope
most bands tune down when the singer gets older, they've tuned an entire step up from the original. Nice one Mike!
This is a great band, can't believe I never heard of them till my son turned me on to them slipping a CD in my car player
Ed King I'm 40 this week and I turned sombody older then me on to them recently.
Cool kid.
His raspy voice is what makes these songs great just like rancid & skrewdriver
Utter greatness
By far one of my favorite bands, there's something about their lyrics that speak to me.
amazing song, i get goose bumps everytime i hear...describes how my life used to be perfectly
One Of My Favorite Bands!
They ROCK!
-Sam
Great sound quality! Thanks for posting!
Mike, you are the man....been a fan for my entire life it seems....Love ya man!
Same here dude! I'm not really a fan of guitar hero, but I fell in love with Story of my life and since that SD is one of my favourite bands :)
Killer Band!!!
I love that he's got his toggle taped down to treble. That's a pretty badass thing to do. Maybe it's to keep him from flipping it if he hits it accidentally, but I like to think it's a message: "I play the bridge pickup - I don't need any other fucking pickups."
great lyrics
Mike is a true original. So fucking real - it doesn't matter if you like his music, just respect the man for doing what the rest of us wish we could.
this song is the story of my life..almost
Amen
One of the best bands ever!
They still got it...........awesome.......
Fits my life perfectly at this moment.. but things are getting better.. thanx mike..
Outstanding!!!!
he has come a long way from another state of mind!
Still so mad at myself for missing this. My co-worker went and reminded me for months.
Everytime I hear this song I just think damn Mike Ness is such a great songwriter
i dont like how im getting older, theres just so much in life i want to live forever and experience it over and over again
Saw em a few times back in the day... best show was at the Bernard Pub in STL (burned down years ago) on their Prison Bound tour.. only had maybe 30 people in the bar and it got real personal... just a cool bunch of guys and Ness is the man.
Mike Ness may be the rockstar I'd most want to meet. You kick butt Mike!
YEAH!!!
This is a music!!!
These dudes are da shit

after listening to sad vacation, youre right. but it sounds like an older blues number called 'fuck off and get over yourself, no rock is original' or something like that : )

My life has never been without Social D as they formed the year I was born and I hope that is always the case
dont take away my "balls and chain" haha lol
@GymFloozie Dood Mike is my inspiration for playing guitar! :)
this band has and always will kick ass. And if you put a hockey mask on Mike he would be Jason Voorhees!
Damn but that man can write a song.
i weird to see mike 50 and not retired yet my post makes no sense
the audience seemed very calm isnt it? social d is coming to argentina in april, we'll show them an audience =XD
Don't get yourself a "Ball & Chain" and you will be okay........
3 dislikes - Really?????? Social D is awesome
@erikadoss
Absolutely, you can say that. If I were Mike Ness, that's exactly what I'd want to hear from a a fan :)
Superman is dead - Lady Rose
3:58 >ORGASMO!
He looks like elderly Steven Segal.
he got old but the spirit like a teenagers,,, mike ur a "god"
he sounds like cartman when he sings 10 years
Any one know what kind of bass that is?
Mike Ness sings with so much emotion... He's fucking amazing
In this song the ball and chain is about the chains of heroin addiction...what do yall know about it?
@GymFloozie Husker du?
@beautifulsarah100
Well said...
Looks like your average Fender Precision to me.
'I' love Fender,Distortion pedal on max!
My first bass was a Precision and after 25 years, I have had no reason to change.
Who cares , They still rock like fuck !
whats up uncle mike!(yes he is my uncle)
@GymFloozie isn't that what punk is all about? lol
hahha 5:55 wtf was that but its an awesome song
He "stole" it? How the fuck can you "steal" a rhythm?! Yes, the rhythms are slightly similar. But the two songs are completely different.
The same kind of thing has been happening for hundreds of years in music.
its probably just a coincidence
wtf 3 dislikes? who are those people???
its a statement man...... ness doesnt tell you how to live your life
man theyre old
More noise
WE WENT TO THEIR CONCERT AND WE LEFT RIGHT AWAY. ANYONE WHO SMOKE CIGARETTE WILL LOSE THEIR VOICE WHEN THEY AGE AND IT 'S SCIENTIFIC FACT.
EPIC band...But my god....the years took a toll on this poor man.....but i bet it can kick any of these new shitty poor excuse to call themselves if bads and "music artist" ass any day....
He looks terrible...
