Social Distortion - Mass Hysteria

[Medusa51198]

Is that Dennis on bass? Wow!

Haters, Mike Ness is still the hottest and baddest ass in punk music!

[Sumokurt1]

I used to see Social D when Mike looked just like this, with hardly any tats at all.

[brewmaster138]

AMAZINGG!!

[bps3013]

So fucking classic. So fucking missed.

[mpkpkm]

Mike-do you remember Black Hole?

[pwyndam]

If I have to hear one more fuktard, unoriginal bastard talk about Hot Topic for fucks sake come up with a fresh talking point.

[pwyndam]

I didn't know Andrew Dice Clay sang in Social D?

[BarrioPunkRock]

@pwyndam no thats mike

[pwyndam]

@BarrioPunkRock It was a joke Bud.

[BecksMarie69]

[TheJLM96]

...wow tht was Mike Ness. Look at now and then

[rjplamf61]

@TheJLM96 when you turn 50 look at a pic of yourself when you were twenty and you will go, wow that was me, look at now and then.

[Tubliophile999]

Thanks for posting this. An absolute classic, from a time when punk wasn't codified, or for sale at the mall. The same stuff parents buy for their kids at Hot Topic they used to burn on the Church lawn during Sunday Go To Meetin's, and cops would beat the shit out of you for it if they thought they could get away with it. How times have changed.

[chickenmanUSA]

@Tubliophile999 Amen!

[FinkChrist]

Why can't I get my hair to stay spiked that well?

[mikekomalley]

[reductobeam]

i love the comments from the people who dont believe this is social d.

[thefightbeginswithu]

[comicrelief427]

[jsuasto]

[ryankrone]

DOB IS A FUCKING MONSTER

[beeeana]

sad brentt and dennis are gone

[TruemetalandpunkONLY]

I love that short little guitar solo Mike does before the end of the song.

[viscous]

what type bass does brent liles use here?

[sunilthegreat]

looks like a late 70's Rickenbacker.

[zosothedestroyer]

@viscous rickenbacker brah

[razzberry82]

Punk isn't some fashion movement for fcks sake, it's a lifestyle. All the kids who think that they're so punk because they wear safety pins on their clothes and worship a guy named Sid have no idea what they're talking about.

[Sumokurt1]

This is rehearsal footage circa 1981. I used to see SD around that time, and they were an amazing band with an amazing sound.  After Mike changed his look and lost his youth, some of their charisma went with it, IMHO.

[StupidChicagoPunk]

what is this footage from?

[theeuprise]

wow, i never tired of hearing "mass hysteria"!

[dannydanzig666]

another state of mind is on youtube the whole documentry

[theeuprise]

i own it, seen it countless times. but thanks

[frankieosf]

GREAT O.C HARDCORE!

[keithskookingklan]

YEAHHH!!!!

[Skybox65]

is that really mike ness???

[xDissident]

Yes, of course

[sacredo07]

Didn't you ever see Another State Of Mind...the movie about the 1982 north american tour? Thats what Ness looked like back then....punk to the bean!

[Afrosamurai532]

@Skybox65 that was Social Distortions finest hour, watch their movie "Another State of mind" it shows them tour with Youth Brigades and bands like minor threat and a couple others

[hansfork]

@Skybox65 LOL??? of course!!!!

[sikkinixx82]

god damn...nothing beats the good old dangerous days of punk rock eh fella's and ladies????

[Boogieboy138]

man this is what punk should be like today

[neworldorder65]

killer!

[inkedpinup]

I couldn't miss Dennis Dannel more...

Seriously.

[klxer]

I like how Mike has a fishing swivel for an earring :)

[matteric27]

punk fucking rock....

[toddscrivener]

S.D. at their best. Derek O' Brien is an absolute monster! Totally overlooked punk drummer.

[msalzano1]

@toddscrivener The drumming on "Mommy's Little Monster" kicks that album's music into another gear. None of S.D.'s other albums ever quite captured the same energy, in my humble opinion...

[medxray]

Hell ya! This is some hardcore shit...old school punk. Not like that crap of shit that passes for punk nowadays!

[getarrestedtoday]

This is priceless footage. Mike's exactly like he was in 'Another State'.

[mbipunkskinheadoi]

I need a strap like that for my new hollowbody.

[Sickboy973]

Love this shit.

I love all of Social D's albums.

[msdivakara]

killer!

[damthatfatmike]

good stuff
