Mike Ness - Don't think Twice (live tv)

[RADLADRICK]

Dude is SO bad ass!!! Mad Props!!!!!

[Jonasboll]

Who is the guitarist? I adore him

[zephyr2046]

He sings off key, his voice is almost unbearable, some of these guys (dylan, waits, ness) are great songwriters, but should not be singing lead!

[TheFatCampCrew]

@zephyr2046 It's weird. Some live shows he's managed to pull it off beautifully. Some it's just like wtf? haha

[rjplamf61]

I am so fucking sorry I missed this tour.

[Kritta17]

This is a great version of this awesome song... 2nd only to JR Cash!!!

[dustinEhaupt]

to be rite, when your told to wrong & no one beats mike

[309temporary]

I swear, every artist brings something new to this song -- and I love them all! Used to be ultra-faithful to the Peter, Paul, and Mary version, and then I found out what I should have known... that Bob Dylan wrote it, I got hooked on this one... a friend turned me on to this one... thanks! <3 s2g

[309temporary]

@309temporary whoops -- I meant to say that I moved on to loving the Dylan one, but this one def. rocks it out

[revolverr]

muito bom

[LA80s1]

I like his sympathetic look better, look it up.

[LA80s1]

I was worried about that. I guess im just showing my age.patb20civic wins the prize! what does patbcivic stand for pat brown.

[notbenjamincoakley]

a bit more forced than felt in my opinion

[thewickedwoody]

Don't know a lot about this band, but they nailed this song, old school, live, no second chances, great feel and soul to a classic. Tele player is playing some really tasty stuff.

[LA80s1]

yea, I have heard of him. he let me and some friends of mine in a soldout gig that he was playing. he arrived through a side gate where we were hanging out.and told us to follow him.This happened at a small club called" the dragonfly" in LA. And as a teen, i bought the 1945 ep. i still have my leather jacket with the o.g. social distortion smiley face and hat painted on the sleve. so yea ive heard of him. probably befor you were borne!

[DevinAndy]

Posers? Are you freaking serious dude? In what sense? Are they not actually playing the song? Have you ever seen Another State of Mind? Mike Ness is a freaking legend and who are you?

[bexitec154]

so good 

[LA80s1]

oh, i get it.( I want to be a cowboy. I'm going to be a cowboy, a cowboy uh hu).

[patb20civic]

@LA80s1

doubt they will get that reference! haha

[LA80s1]

What is up with all that cowboy garb. He looks foolish

[aimienelson]

@LA80s1 have you even hear of mike ness before watching this??? i highly doubt it from your comment

[buggsmalone]

jesus christ what a BADASS!!

[honkytonktim]

is that slim from back porch mary on guitar?

[RIPxMRT]

To:

the confused 4 thumbs down voters - you are morons...

[MrsSixx27]

I love this song(:

[sherpa285]

Fuckin' Quintana!....That creep can rolllll, man....



[bgretk]

since when do punks play country/folk

good song though

[skatepunkzero]

@bgretk since 1955 when Johnny Cash released Folsom Prison Blues

[robspopo]

Oh fuck yeah!  Best cover ever!

[deathbyhonkytonk]

POSERS TO THE FUCKING MAX!

[jonnychopit]

@deathbyhonkytonk i gotta hundred dollars that says you can't say that to mike ness's face and walk away without something broke :-)

[RIPxMRT]

@jonnychopit dunno even what 'he' said, but I'd bet on your way o'thinking... :P

[robspopo]

@deathbyhonkytonk Say that to Mike's face!

[paramore261]

@deathbyhonkytonk why? just 'cause they're not wearing mohawks and torn pants? Fuck off dude. Not everyone HAS to be the same in the punk world. In fact, that's the whole point of punk. To be DIFFERENT and REBEL.

[davidcotestratton]

@paramore261 100% right



[RIPxMRT]

@deathbyhonkytonk chump = u

[rafaguimaandrade]

with all due respect to bob dylan. mike ness' version just kicks ass!

[missionblank1]

@rafaguimaandrade he is mike ness! "i wish i had mike ness' hair line"

[pmgruhn]

@missionblank1 That's a hat ;-)

[missionblank1]

@pmgruhn listen to goldfinger " I wish that i had more time, If i had Mike Ness' hair line then you'd want to be with me!"

[tammyleighbee]

3 people wouldn't know good music if it ran them over with a truck.

[willerror]

I swear, as the years go on... one of my fave Dylan covers ever.



[buggsmalone]

what badasses!!! hats off to ya Mike and Co.

[Oscaraleptico]

I love Mike Ness's cover of this song, by why isn't the bass player slapping?!

[linoleum7000]

ROCKS!

[hayleysfinest]

Is it just me, or does the guy with the telecaster look like he belongs on brokeback mountain?

[Spoonylove85]

@hayleysfinest

Why? You wanna give him a piece of ass?

[hayleysfinest]

@Spoonylove85 sure, why not?

[siriddknnds]

FODEROSO!

[hayleysfinest]

He's mah favorite outlaw.

[Mr420ways]

srry mike looks weird in a cowboy hat

[TomFromJersey]

@Mr420ways By weird, do you mean fucking awesome??

[Mr420ways]

@TomFromJersey yes! i figured it out its not the hat its the pants....lol

[clashero84]

muy buen guitarrista.... una bestia del rock and roll!!!

[Radiator1991]

[jixxxxer17]

[quikfax]

Is that the rest of Social D backing him up?

[ashbal30]

@quikfax nope.

[MrNewman24]

THE most underrated musician ever...NESS FUCKIN RULES...Especially LIVE...

[RevDrWally]

Bob Dylan is rolling over in his grave.

[Shankxx88]

@RevDrWally bob dylan is still alive you dumb fuck!!!

[RevDrWally]

@Shankxx88 Gee, ya think?

[missionblank1]

@RevDrWally and giving the devil sign!

[erikadoss]

Just thought I'd share this music my husband makes with all of you. It's Mike Ness (Not SOcial D..Mike Ness!) and I <3 him. And yeah we've been married for like 8 yearst. We had to wait til I was legal cause he's kinda old.

[erikadoss]

I just thought I'd share my husband's music with everyone :) His name is Mike Ness. This isn't Social Distortion. It's MIKE NESS.. And I <3 him. We've been married for like 10 years now at least.

[erikadoss]

I just thought I'd share my husband's music with everyone :) His name is Mike Ness. This isn't Social Distortion. It's Mike Ness.... Mike Ness. And I <3 him.

[afubr]

This is the best version!

[HearseLady616]

all i can say is "WOW" !!!!!

[IStillSay]

That is not two bags on the left, it is sean greaves, who also played in the joykiller!

[IStillSay]

Sean Greaves rocks!

[BigDukeSixx67]

That guy sure can rock a telecaster!!!!!!!!

[erchachanfles]

Is that jhonny two bags on mikes left??

[Skybox65]

love em all!!!

[BQboy7777]

this is best version of dont think twice duh

[VanHowle]

what year was this from? that looks like Dennis Darnell on the right.

[GutterDoll138]

<3 I love you forever, Mr. Ness. ::smiles:: <3

[adamduvick]

The only people that can give justice to the masterpieces written by Dylan are Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, and Manfred Mann. Also, George Harrison did a good job on "Absolutely Sweet Marie" as did Neil Young doing "All Along the Watchtower". This cover however is nearly as bad as Hawk Nelson's cover of The Who's "My Generation". Why did he even try?!

[CorBinKaY76]

stand up bass hell yeah

[nobigdeal85]

rockidioto that's chris lawrence on the telecaster . Seen mike ness solo 3 or 4 times and chris is amazing live.

[telecasterchris]

Love the dude with telecaster

[mikeyrehab]

@telecasterchris that was easily one of my fav solos of all time.johnny two bags i think

[bdsully]

That's Christopher Lawrence on the telecaster. I've seen J2B play with them in other videos and he's usualy on an acoustic. They are both aweseome.

[BigDukeSixx67]

@telecasterchris

THt dude sure rocks that telecaster and looks cool as shit while doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cadwilder88]

this guy makes dylan's singing seem like that of a songbird

[9midwestern9]

Charlie Quintana fucking rocks it out on the drums!

[leakage182]

@9midwestern9 El Guapo!

[snidley1979]

How about some props for Dylan?

[Staysick74]

JG obviously you've never seen him live. There's a new invention, Its called a microphone and it picks up these things called sounds. You can move away from it and it still works. Quite amazing

[thelowclass]

Best performance ive ever seen on connan

[snidley1979]

Try "Wait and Bleed" by Slipknot it tore down Conans show.

[mynameisJG]

sucks that he is performing to a recording.

at 1:43 you can see he's bobbing around off microphone and the audio stays fine.

good song tho.

[digitalcos]

Yer kidding, right? I mean, you've got to be kidding. Nah, I'm not even gonna argue this, cause you're obviously kidding.

[DerEchteBold]

@digitalcos

what?

[danfcf08]

wtf?????? you would have to be really retarded, to not be able to tell the difference between live audio and sutdio recorded audio =|

[morgan1492]

@mynameisJG Mike ness has been performing live without pre-recorded teacks for 30 years unlike most of the modern pop-era computer milled out bullshit that's on the radio these days... He's the real deal bro.

[daviddowns81]

wow... Mike looks fantastic here... what year was this?

[daviddowns81]

i just learned actually... this is June 17th, 1999 on Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien

[mikeyrehab]

the first time i heard this version it brought a tear to my eye.....fucken awesome

[livefastdierrhea]

Great video! Thanks for posting

[RPhoton]

great tune
