Social Distortion-Badluck

[darkpoet25]

It's amazing how well his voice has held up over the years. Great band.

[Enterthedeath]

Err.... Some people are morons....... SD is more punk and Roll. Crust punk, Punk in roll, and psychobilly, rockabilly, etc. Nothing is dying. You people are just complete morons. It was never big it started dead became a fad and the fad died. Don't believe the hype..... I maybe 20 but I know a lot of people who are in their 40's 50's+.

[Radiator1991]

1998 at the roxy?

[wolf2hawk]

my god his voice sounds like it is on his cd's.. perfect voice

[cambruoso]

Social D are living legends mainly because they helped cultivate melodic punk rock.Bands like Greenday,The Distillers and Rancid are all influenced by their sound.

[smashbeans]

reinstate the poor man you fucking assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[antimaggie]

i don't think punk is dead. its just evolved. the sound has gotten less harsh. after 20 years of playing the sound has got to refine somehow.

its not a bad thing though. i actually like how there's more of a melodic hank williams blues-ish quality to the punk sound now.

[parkdale420]

Not another Punks not dead "discussion" Jeeeezus H Christ!!Hasn't the same old godam thing been said before??Well..the blah blah blah..has it's roots in this or that and this band(band A) is keeping "punk" alive..HAHAHAHA shaaaaDaaaaap!!

[stonerchiefs1]

you want Hank Williams mixed with punk? listen to Hank Williams III... hahaha

[spencedog4443]

i agree punk is dieing but bands like rancid and NOFX are keeping it alive

[revolutionday1]

I think Social D. gets rather unfairly labeled with the whole "punk" tag. I don't consider them punk, as you can actually hear the words -generally- that Mike Ness is singing, and the songs actually have melody, solos, etc. As well, Social D. were more like "rockabilly" when they 1st came out.

[spencedog4443]

I'm not calling them bad. I love Sosial D it's my favorite band ever. But there are under the punk label. If you look at songs like story of life under my thumb and dont drag me down those songs are punk type songs. I am not saying they are bad at all. but there not jsut under Punk. There under 4 or 5 more generas aswell.

[revolutionday1]

You....can't spell.

[subzidal]

wow you really must not know what they first came out with... watch another state of mind... you will see what punk is.

[TheDotComKid84]

sry dude you know shit!

[revolutionday1]

No dumbfuck, I know MY shit.  There's a big difference.

[TidalTwirl]

)...but there is a good amount of real punk out there...but mainly just local bands since its so hard to get signed with any company that gives exposure now...theres a few great bands around my city like Risky Business among others...its just hard for them to get public. You need to look at the last 15 years to even find a few decent "new" punk bands....but check out Agnostic Front (Epitaph) and Black Halos (have since broke up)....theyre the best of the worst of recent punk

[TidalTwirl]

I definitly agree that the "punk" out now has no resemblance to what punk is about...and even the older bands have been a joke for the last decade or so (listen to any Bad Religion from No Substance and on, the last Exploited album or The Misfits after Danzig left...makes me want to cry

[sixtypixty]

So like i think that these new bands are just a load of shit in a new mainstream media scene. the roots, SOCIAL DISTORTION is where its really at u know? Theres no comparison what so ever. the new bands are "punk" but its not even punk. its fake. my next news article is gonna be about it man! lovin this life with the social D!

[edrisi1655]

Its if i didnt have bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all....

[DIRECTORSOFDISASTORE]

SOCIAL DISTORTION!!!

[jesesiordia]

I don't know about shooting My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, and Red Jumpuit Apparatuts, but they don't really seem to compare to SD no matter how fast they play or how well they sing because they can't match SD depth and meaning in song

[XXXsuspensionXXX]

Bands like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Red Jumpuit Apparatus, need to be shot..Put to death for what they're doing. SD ALL THE WAY!

[skreeech]

totally agree =)

[eatsclowns]

U have to have some bad luck...to have some good luck...

lol....

[swisspunker]

fuck yeah!! Social Distortion not dead!! yeah mother fucker!!! lol

[bucfan56]

These videos are by far some of the WORST performances ive ever seen outta Social D, and even so theyre not too bad. Ive seen them live 5 times and every time theyve blown the doors off the venue. These vids are like looking at a cell phone snapshot of a Van Gogh. You simply cannot get the true feeling unless your there to see it in person. Awesome band, and im stoked someone was cool eough to post them, but they truely dont do the band any justice.

[jbilotta]

You know, Social D is one of my favs and I have to say I agree with the notion that Youtube doesn't give a true feel of a live show. You know, that's why sound engineers make so much money because it's the art of replicating the human ear. That in itself gets misrepresented all the time, but I still did Ness even on subpar vids... He's a beaut.

-Rock

[msmoe1006]

If it wasnt for Bad Luck, I would have none.

[fraxxer]

Guys , SD is just the best punk band ever. They're even better than the Ramones and that means a lot! Kudos Tfor insiring me in every possible ways

[mymuffinfatty]

I'm 15 and Social Distortion is my favorite band... Since elementary school. I also like Motley Crue, went to their concert here in Grand Rapids where they filmed their DVD...

[danielkills]

fallout boy is "pop", not emo. the phrase emo was coined by fugazi, and frankly, it should be left behind with all of the GOOD music that was called emo, like Fareinheit 451 and shit. kids these days...

[daddywuzabankrobber]

jeepers blokes! it's erm, all about punk rock! either you like & respect it's efforts, or go to another site. you don't find punks (old & new) leaving comments on Beyonce's site?!? Love it or fuck off! SD put a lot into it!

[chromium77]

Nice but they started charging way too much for tix after the 90s punk revival

[sgsux]

last year i got tix at the house of blues for $15 later that year i got tix in seattle for $20 and then in san diego it was $15 for a bunch of old school and new school bands including social d.that's nothing compare to what some fucked goldiggers bands like motley crue or guns' roses charge

[DerSchimpanse]

That's a great song!!! I love Social D since the time i heard exactly this song a few years ago. I pray that they will come back to Germany once again soon. That is old school Punk Rock'n'Roll at its best!!

[plaguester]

let all these little kids talk shit on Social D, they just can't appreciate real music. all they want to hear is nu-metal garbage and the useless crap emo/screamo bands put out.

[DEESASSDER]

Social D still rocks Saw Them in a Brooklyn a month ago

[geneseo32]

Dear kids,

This is punk rock, not emo. Turn off MTV and live a little.

[bill8912328]

Mike Ness is God!!!!

[robbieb06]

I hate to say this but a cover SD band can do a better job of playing live. WTF

[kkooss16]

heh at first, i was like you gotta be kidding me, a 40yo emo band? but you know there not too bad

[diamondsandroxx]

ur a fucking faggot theyre not emo its punk. fuckin fall out boy and shit is emo not sd

[kkooss16]

... just shut the fuck the up

[diamondsandroxx]

go suck a cock

[lyntodd]

Begone brats, SD is fucking great, & always has been...Next time one of you morons writes a great song let me know & I'll recant my bash..Although I won't be holding my breath...

[Letthebitchesrun]

uh whoever thinks its emo is the BIGGEST dumbfuck simply put.

[locustswarm]

whats with all these kids getting on here and talking shit about social d? first off it aint emo its hardluck, and second off if you wanna hear some three cords of ignorance then go listen to something else...

[chilipeppers1225]

SD sucks crap

i saw them at voodoo fest 2006 and they were awful and untalented

[robyyo]

then don't go to the next show. Don't want you there anyway.

[loadeddiceinc]

Your an idiot. Go back to listening to My Chemical Romance and Panic at the gay bar!!!

[sgsux]

if there is something mike ness and social d have is talent. they don't rely on any effects nothing but guitar keyboards bass and drums. That's talent boy, when you can make music for over 20years with meaning. Mike ness is new age poet one of the best out there. he loves what he does not like other bands who only there for the money fuck emo.i can believe you like the pepers when you don;t know about music.

[maximus448]

This band sucks and their lead singer has titties!

[Lostheart72]

You wouldn't dare telling it to his face so STFU...

[sgsux]

i can tell you don't know much about talent and also that you are very superficial. you probably like anything flashly, nothing real.also you should know that there is many music genres and this is old school punk not nu metal any other crap like that.

[RANDY7419]

Social Distortion is one of the most underrated bands from the last 20 years, Mike is a great songwriter and a true rocker in the tradition of Berry, Lennon and Strummer.Guy has had real life experience and it shows in the music it's a hard edged soulful blend of rock, blues and punk with a country twang sometimes.It defies genres.I saw them live and they are truly the best band i have ever seen live.

[ltjfan]

sixteenston learn how to spell you dumbfuck. and soCial distoRtion doesnt suck.

[sixteenstone18]

buddy your a bitch u think ur cool when u say homophobic and block it so i cant say anything just sya somethin to me and run and ride you bitch ur discribin how ur life is livin in a bassment and soscail disorrtion sucks balls

[phuct15]

Fuckin' ebonics! Was anyone able to make out a single word of this fucking babble? Fucking methamphetamine,I swear we gotta' get rid of that shit!

[Slackjawyokel]

Good stuff. Mike Ness is a great song writer and performer. The roughness of this performance doesn't take away from this great band.
