Got my tickets for the Warfield show - soooooooooooo f-ing psyched to see them. Thank you Mike Ness for reminding me why I first began ever liking music that none of my friends had ever heard of.
The best thing about this band is their genuine, simple and effective sound. Thousands of musician who have spent their lives drifting in search of the perfect effect/pedal/distortion/expedient really ought to learn from these men.
Mike Ness toured with Neil Young. Neil’s guitar tech showed him how a Gibson gold top les Paul came with mini hum buckers which coincidentally are the same size as a p-90 pick up. He took the mini humbuckers out and dropped them in the trash and installed a p90. The rest is history. Ness refers his sound as “americano”.
metalabsynth Sad but true. They even have that bitch whose only hit song was "Mickey". I didn't know 1-hit wonders were deserving of a spot in the Hall Of Fame.
GreenDay1981 Even Deep Purple is not in the Hall of Fame. I tried to understand why and my conclusion is that the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is probably one of the most irrelevant organisation out there.
I always liked SD but until recently never knew what the visuals were of their live shows or what they looked like. These guys are AWESOME! What a show!!!!!
I know you replied to this song 2 months ago, but i read some of your previous comments about his outfit and this is what i have to say. The clothing he is wearing i representing him as a "Gangster in 1934", not about being punk. Watch the music video to this song, he is wearing the exact same outfit. In this video, he is telling a story and is in character, represented by his clothing, while doing it.
They appeared on TV in the 80's although it looked like it was some sort of local cable access thing. That would make this their 3rd appearance though.
Once again, a RUclips ad for dishwasher soap has started talking over this video. Boycot any product that destroys the song by putting its noise over the music. Maybe then RUclips will stick to the merely annoying ads as oposed to the ones which ruin the music.
KakTusZlo of course, because this is live. 95% of the time, an album version is better because its been fine tuned and live performances are left open to mistakes,etc.

And the best thing is that Mike Ness's set up is pretty basic. A Fender Bassman and a BOSS pedal. Sounds fantastic.

rippin song song with that social d sound . Mike ness keeps the hits coming man what a great rock and roll career
Mike is such a badass....social dist. Is gonna be around forever keeping punk/ Rockabilly alive
I don't think it's possible to be cooler than Mike Ness.
Agreed. I got close then he came out with something cooler
That's cause he's just himself. He plays what he likes & really doesn't care. UNcool is just trying to hard to be cool...........
It's not.
It never has been. Johnny Cash was. Then he died. Ness took the crown.
These guys belong in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. When are they gonna be inducted? I know they've been eligible for it the last 6 years.

Raphael Cote Does Deep Purple have any good songs besides "Smoke On The Water"?
Burn, perfect strangers, highway star, smoke on the water. It s all classics
Haven't heard any of those other songs

It's good, but album version is better.
KakTusZlo of course, because this is live. 95% of the time, an album version is better because its been fine tuned and live performances are left open to mistakes,etc.
This is great. It's at least close because the sound quality is so good. Whoever did the mixing did a great job.
Social D is better at performing their songs than 95% of most bands.
you're so close minded that you obviously didn't like punk in the first place
