Mike Ness - Story of my life unplugged Live in OC DVD

[ummwillthishurt]

I know a guy that claims to be mikes son.. He said he never knew him though but his mom dated him.. He's definitely got his nose though.. And I have a mechanics shirt just like that with the ford patch haha

[nwa4me]

Thanks Mike u are one cool mfer!

[TheNiteLite1000]

True story. Before i was born, Dennis Dannel used to live in the house right next door to mine, my grandparents and my uncle (who is also a giant Social D fan) got to meet Mike Ness. After the passing of Dennis (Rest his soul), Mike ness no longer came around :( unfortunately i was too young to meet mike, but now it is my lifelong mission to meet mike, going to see Social D in two weeks! anyways, theyre a big part of my life today!

[calboy64]

[rotensnatchmuffdiver]

[XxTravisIsGODxX]

i cant see the dislike bar

[triumphvinnie]

@XxTravisIsGODxX You can not dislike Mike.......... he's the Chuck Norris of Rock 'n Roll

[drtywteboy]

@XxTravisIsGODxX -There's a dislike bar for Soc D?



[gravesfiend138]

@XxTravisIsGODxX That's because Social D haters are invisible to the rest of the world.

[ckjacques]

Love this. Perfect acoustic performance. Mike ness rocks

[Hedgeco]

Mike Ness/ Social D belongs in the rock 'n roll hall of fame.

[gazzatmb]

This song is flawless. I wonder if Mike Ness realized that when he wrote it.

[Bezor101]

The best version of this song I've seen. The lyrics are perfect for garage unplugged context. Guitar, voice, small room...perfect.

[frankosley1]

fuck yeah!

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

[LizDickey08]

I love it!

[beautifulsarah100]

The Mike Ness version of "unplugged" doesn't include a fucking stage and microphones and a bunch of fancy shit. It includes Mike and his guitar, just like we went down to the beach and started jamming on the sand. Too awesome for words.

[kstaudte]

I fuked shauna, mike nesses dream girl

[ohgee1]

He's wearing guyliner. He's a girl.

[Iamphenomenalaj]

@ohgee1 Oh fucking grow up. He's more of a man than most of the guys on the mainstream music scene now...

[pinetone000]

@ohgee1 good one. you're not rufflin any feathers kid, so head on back to depeche mode's videos if you wouldnt mind.

[beeeana]

[Lorensize]

@beeeana It's a aoustic Gibson guitar, model J45 Rosewood signature Mike Ness( Always he plays) but sometimes (very few) play with a Guild D-V6 Dreadnought usa and very few few times he plays with a taylor 410d

[orange105]

[SteveMann7]

[TheNiteLite1000]

Just found out that i live nextdoor to dennis dannel's old home here in costa mesa, sadly though i was only 4 at the time he passed, but my uncle tells me that mike would go there every once in a while and my uncle got to talk to them and stuff, wish i could turn back time and get to meet them too :/

[LaVerdadPR]

[briguymaine]

@LaVerdadPR we all are, don't sweat it!

[lucretiablu]

beautiful, reflective journey, will the next bit be proactive, co- creative living that will change the story of our lives.

[zeijmartijn]

Never heart such a heartbreaking song....

[eastcoastblaze]

saw mike ness play in frederiction, wicked time.... going to miss the portland show

[briguymaine]

@eastcoastblaze I saw Mike and the boys play here in portland, maine a couple of days ago and they ripped it up. You missed a great time, I've got a few songs posted on my account, Cold Feelings, Alone and Forsaken, and Ring of Fire. Enjoy!

[seifukusha]

got to love Mike's voice, like a good whiskey.

[Minotauro79]

7 deaf people clicked on "dislike". Nah even deaf people would be able to see how awesome this song is. I can't explain those 7 dislikes then.

[radaguy]

dude, fucking awesome version of this classic song

[pacuguy1978]

this literally makes me cry uncontrollably. in a very very good way

[turbopens]

@craighugus Mike Ness can wear any hat he damn well pleases

[maanyula]

social distortion saved my life. i was having a lot of problems in my life and i was about to cut my veins with a kitchen knife when i heard this song on the radio and kept me from doing it. it's been more than ten years from this, and i have played this song in the guitar every single day since then

[cambruoso]

@maanyula It's good to read your story.It shows that "real music" is so powerful.Because i was going through a rough time in my life when i bought White Light White Heat White Trash.And i instantly could relate to Social D's music and Mike's lyrics, as many others do.I thought that it was fate that i bought that CD.I think that's why their music is so beloved by so many.Now I'm a Social D fan 4 life.Going to see them in October again.Can't wait!

[swantonkincaid]

@maanyula you shouldve done it man... hahah



[Docas633]

@maanyula i'm happy that you got out of that situation :)

[BandOfCrooks]

@maanyula wow you're a fucking pussy

[spavlic]

@BandOfCrooks That was harsh bro. You don't have any idea what that cat was going thru.

[Metaldudehere]

@BandOfCrooks you are a fucking ass hole, you have no idea what that person has been through. I don't either, they could have had a rough life, they could have had a good one, but you have no right to say that dumbass

[deltafranklin]

this man is proper

[krysphyxia]

Whoever said 'dislike' is a douchebag. Just saying.

[wideeyewonder]

Why o why did he stop recording...Mr. Ness, if you ever read this I'd love to have the honor of filming this again!

[bozocustomer]

i bitch about why we cant have this stuff in pop culture.but then again it wouldnt be cool anymore.

[jamahl]

good thing hes got such a short name, otherwise he would have to play bass...

[yoyoyoretard]

the camera man is on crack

[siveeert]

@yoyoyoretard

haha, indeed he is

[68Strut]

This is pretty awesome

[jfdoe13]

Agreed about cameraman. I understand trying to look gritty, but god damn, its like he is an epileptic with the booze shakes. . .

[BandOnTheRun87]

is this written from personal experience?

[TheJinxrr]

@BandOnTheRun87 Most of Mikes songs are, man.

[MegaPunkette]

Mike Ness is Go(o)d!

[cometsdev]

[davidcotestratton]

[JoyRoundMyBrain]

ohhhh mike.

[thrashhard123]

whats up with the fucking make up?

[finalcuthugo]

welcome to 1978

[thrashhard123]

@finalcuthugo wtf not even

[finalcuthugo]

@thrashhard123 I dunno when, then. He's been doing that forever.

[cellunatic]

i find the strumming pattern so hard, and the ones discussed below arent quite right it seems.

is it

G5 down (bass note), up, down, up

C down (bass note), up, down, up

D down (bass note only) and then up, down, up, down (2x)

[jackasscrewisg]

he does not sing this part:

Good times come and good times go

I only wish the good times would last a little longer

I think about the good times we had and why they had to end

So I sit at the edge of my bed

I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song

Wonderin' bout what you're doin' now and when you're comin' back

Chorus

[hey138]

i love the fret board

[55479johnny]

Where???

[NmaListiK]

Mike is so fucking awesome.

[eric1976ss]

@NmaListiK guy sings better than a yaght

[morig05]

story of your life??

[BlackwaterJukebox]

awesome.

[jettplaneseven]

There's no need for a tab on this song it's the same three chords on this song.

G C D. Just put a capo on the first fret and try and follow the same strumming pattern.

[anarchysoldier666]

:S i thought it was capo on 2nd fret :S

[Airephix]

use the old g chord

[Airephix]

Capo 2 with the guitar detuned. The old g chord has the pinky finger on the high e string on the 3rd fret,( from the capo) Middle and ring fingers take the place of the common index and middle finger position. Mike Ness rocks! I usually charge for guitar lessons take the free advice.

[CookiesCanFly]

has anyone got a tab for the version hes playinng? :)

[sdmikev]

Looks like he's got the capo on the first fret. then it's just g c and d from there with alternating bass notes.

[SenorCali]

Nice video....Love The Ness...And this tune sez it all, for all of us, eh?

Thanks very much.

[zoestar619]

beautiful eyelashes <3

[krzyjohnny]

Man,your fucking all idiots who must follow-thinking your cool...run down to your local tattoo parlor and get a tattoo to follow and be just like everyone else....fucking idiots....Mike has been around and most likely... fucked your mother before your momma gave birth..Im fucking old and can school your ass like prison....You fucking kids are losers and don't know shit ....Wipe your ass before you talk....Play A guitar?? first learn how to spell....Go listen to John Lee Hooker losers and see..

[THESELMACAT13]

get the fuck out of here krzyjohnny no one cares man theres always idiots like you on youtube

[nosleep4me72]

get a life you dirty bottom feeder , it takes all kinds , hence your existence . . . .spare yourself and be a good human. . . .

[johnnylatoco]

hey asome cover !

LOL

[natemac82]

"asome cover"? Are you retarded? He wrote the song, there for, this isn't a cover. It is an acoustic version. An artist can't do a cover of their own song.  Idiot.

[johnnylatoco]

dudeeee, thats why i put the big LOL i know who mike ness is, chill out man, i listen them since 2004

if you had a little sense of humor you would understand the little joke man.

[AUS10TEX]

@johnnylatoco nE'ss's body he's guarding is a POS. Tamani is garbage . I heard he lost NP beach house.Good.

[natemac82]

Ok, I got ya. Come on, lets not compare how long you've been listening to Mike Ness and/or his band. Social D's been around for more than 20 years. You are not ahead of the times my friend. That being said, good taste in music.

[IIIllIIllIIIllIIll]

Make you feel tough talking down to people while you sit safely behind a screen?

[GunsNRosesMusicHD]

@johnnylatoco this isn't a cover

[teteuzinho94]

sociaaaaaaaaal!

[carguy12345678910]

I love social d its my favorite band, I live in Orange County and this song relates to my life so much i got too see social d last years September 14, 2009 i met Mike and the band it was cool but i did not talk to him much i was too nervous but i got mikes signature and met johnny, got his signature. Social d relates to my life but im in middle school. When i think about it my grade school it went by with a blink of an eye. And that girl in the front of the room never notices me...

[jimtrash1020]

im 5-7 and im taller than mike, met him in cleveland, oh-04

gotta love him!!

[TheAndyGerm]

mike ness rules. I saw him live about 10 years ago and it's the best show i've ever been to.He sounds good live.

[WLarogna]

[b8b06]

[madranboy45]

Orange County man

[bigSammyb93]

Nice

[DetroitSoul88]

Amazing voice, incredible man

[raksytes]

how goes strumming pattern for this song??

[TheAndyGerm]

i think its down down up down down down up down down not sure but you add some little strums in between

[sumtinlikethat]

@bandontherun87 I go to where he went to high school, Troy high school in fullerton and I feel exactly how the lyrics are written
