[davidcotestratton]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my string broke

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

TheUgluk666 said it best, but here is some more...This was the sound of punk in the 80's in California. We dressed like you, but we were posers and not punk because you told us we were not punk. I can't believe this argument still goes on today. Blah, Blah...I am the punkest, they're the punkest...blah blah blah--effin' music/fashion authority police. OMG, I feel like I am a grade school yard duty. Knock it off kids. Enjoy the music. ;-D

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork Im sure I had an im punker than you moment or 2 back when I was 15 and elite. Now days when I see that shit I just laugh my ass off. Im punker than you is second best only to my dad can beat up your dad . That said my daddy would whup all your daddies asses with nothing but a pair of whitey tighties and a full pack of marlboros

[TheUgluk666]

Lol social D is punk you morons no matter how they change it up greser rock is what made punk so its pretty much the same shit jus a lill less intense

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

@TheUgluk666

ya dude, some music can be sped up and it is perfectly fine. I used to experiment with vinyl. Believe me, my dad had three feet of vinyl that I had to speed up if it was to be worth a damn (that's what I thought at the time but feel differently, now). Good music is good music. Find the speed that jives with your beat. This song is just right for me. 80's this was the most identifiable sound on the punk radio shows I heard in San Jose/San Francisco. Rock on. SSSplash.

[Arturox13]

I am now in a punk moood all i want to listen to is punk !

[Belk1488]

Gotta say I like the live version of this better cause you hear mikes scraggly voice so much better. Hard to say what it is but there's something about a haggard voice that makes punk so much more fun to hear.

[MsFreesun]

CHILDREN KILLED!!!... SUGAR IN!!!!... SHARE HEARTS!!!... HEARTS FROM THE HEART... WITH LOVE...

[b2l4evr]

i fuckin' love this song fun to mosh to too

[kristiannamae]

good to actually see the boys. miss you all

[shadowd969]

i still get chills listening to this song caues its so damn good

[Blaxfax]

powerfulllll!

[Trevor9849]

I'm kinda a new Social D fan but I can honestly say.......... after all these years they're still Punk as fuck!

[GSXRRIPPERJQ]

Fuckin Social D kicks ass!!!!!

[Shaabangah]

what year was this preformance?

[carguy12345678910]

i wonder if mike ness has ever cut his fingers from playing the guitar like at 1:13

[raoulduke881]

MIKE NESS.

[njj37]

I MUST GET THIS DVD!!!!!!!!

[SurLeif]

@njj37 If you still have not bought this dvd I would hate you.

[hevarityyppi]

The world's greatest and best song ever!

[asiandrummer21]

Why is there no pit during that song! what about the crowd surfing? probably there was but you couldn't see it...well anyways cant wait to see these guys in hilton head...

[spyoung777]

@asiandrummer21 Because Social D sold out in the early 90's and tried becoming "greasers" to get away from the punk scene. When I saw them in 1990 Mike Ness practically made the crowd BEG for old school Social D and only played this ONE song. They were pissed that punks still came and moshed and stage dived. He asked, "How many greasers do we have tonight?" Of course no one responded.

[gooch777]

@spyoung777 Relax dude. Social D changes it up every few.

[spyoung777]

@gooch777 Yeah, I know they do. And they still rock too. To the old school punks, Social D will always be punk.

[bioshockt]

@spyoung777 Hey, White Light is a punk album through and through. Their newest album isn't that great but I'd say White Light was when they were at the top of their game, and it was released in 96 after they supposedly "sold out"

[spyoung777]

@bioshockt I'll have to check it out.. I kind of quit listening to them after 91.

[bioshockt]

@spyoung777 Alright, Don't Drag Me Down, Through These Eyes, and When The Angels Sing are all great songs. Also, Don't Take Me For Granted is amazing.

[ryanking909780]

best social d song ever right here.

[chalklucky]

45 Version is way better, listen to it if u get a chance, old drummer w/faster ride cymbol attack.

[BUSthrowie]

yeah but punk drumming sounds worse in my opinion. I love this rock style of drumming

[bicskid]

there was a big change in the O.C. scene and most of us went from punkers to greasers it was just the way it was and Social Distortion changed right along with us I agree to an extent about the Rock and Roll sound that they went to but cant forget those good years of just plain ole hardcore punk........ L8ers B's

[ryanking909780]

so true!

[ryanking909780]

Your way right!...but remember social d just changed the image of punk...mabey added a little more rock to it but you gotta give it up to the DESCENDENTS!!!..beacause they turned away from the fashion and kept it about the music....they never dressed the punk part with mohawks and leather.I think social d is one of the best...dont get me wrong,but they defenitly DRESSED up to play the part...know what im sayin?

[ryanking909780]

When i say 'dressed the part' i meant that they brought back the greaser look.

[ryanking909780]

i know what you mean bro!!!!!...thats good lookin out out your part!..right on man!

[CreepyFreakFilms]

mike sounds funny :B

awesome song

[EnigmaOfResistance]

Social Distortion-1945 .Best Punk Rock song Ever

[4legendcentral]

I like the live version of this song better

[Shawndoo44]

this is the live version.....

[4legendcentral]

exactly

[hassekarl]

it's 13th floor ver.

[jermainesixx]

their singer needs to wake up . its sounds like he mumbling

[4legendcentral]

His names Mike Ness, get a clue

[crazyguyfive]

what are you talking about this is one of their best performances of this song

[greekproudmacedonian]

Adam Sandler plays the drums!!!

[atrociousone]

yup LOL.

[lukepghpa]

1:07 haha mike ness has been rockin longer than those kids have been alive

[Massgraven]

Com on! Nobody Cares if Social D is PunkRock or not! They OWNS! :D <3

[EdwoodCA]

What? He cut the 1 minute solo by about 45 seconds... bummer.

[phunkhetha]

pulento!!!

[scuzzbag87]

mike ness is a pretty good punk guitarist but i hate the fact that hes a f@cking greaser

[inyofacepriklips]

escapades with homeless monkey people that is.

[RandyRPM]

Stop fighting about what is and isn't punk, a good band is undefinable as was the CLASH, Ramones, and others before them..Social D is pure unadaulterated Rock and Roll, all R&R comes from Chuck Berry, born from his guitar and blues, so who cares what some poster on youtube says, Social D is one fo the best bands i have ever seen live, and ive seen a lot of bands, they rock balls to the wall every show, no phoning it in for them

[thizzface530]

social d is fuckin great live, saw them at a show with only about 200 ppl

[yuidaisy]

i consider punk to be the clash and the late seventies.. i think what youre talking about is 80's hardcore

so its practically all punk just deiiferent types of it. not everyone from cali is a poser saying that is pretty unaccurate because you cant expect everyone to be the same because the majority of people anywhere.. say cali, listen to green day or any other band you would call posers.

[krookedKiller13]

1945!!!!!!

[bonaio]

This is just so the best song from SD. *sigh*

[newsourcevisions]

all punks who come from cali are really posers..but it's all good..well just call this pop punk...i'm a fan of social d. don't get me wrong.. but we should call their music pop punk.. green day practically ripped them totally off..

[CamFagnew]

yeah dude, all punks from california are posers, social d is not "pop punk" thats blink 182 and green day all those faggots. real punk comes from california. listen to the adolescents, d.i., dead kennedys , circle Jerks, bad Religion, fear, black flag, and TSOL, the list goes on and on of bands from california who arent posers.

[Retrodude97]

Dude I hate Jesus and God but I asked both of them about your comment and they both said FUCK YOU BITCH GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING POSER NOT FROM CALIFORNIA!!! Have you ever heard of Social Distortion in the fucking 80's? They were like the gods of hardcore!!! So go smoke your crack you fucking fat bastard!!!

[LPRory]

@CamFagnew

Gee, Green Day or Blink 182 couldn't be from California, could they?

Oh wait they are..

One should remember punk is undefined. Yes there are different decades and breeds, but anything is open to interpretation. How do you think cowpunk came into existence?

[jimmyjazz82391]

@LPRory Very very very well said!

[billieraf]

@CamFagnew Green Day? Green Day comes from California so shut up! Punk is undefined, punk means do everything you want, do everything you can and don't care for the others...

[xarrowbarage]

social d rocks and if you think they suck you should go die...

[newbeachinvasion]

god how does his solos get worse after he became sober? This just goes to show kids, once you go smack, you don't go back...

[HAFA74]

This was written before Pennywise was even a band.

[damthatfatmike]

[lisp33]

i love all of social distortions music!! they are still going and making music...for over 20 years. i have respect for them.

[NthgToFear]

I was so disappointed in this DVD. It was filmed at like the end of a 17 night stretch at the HOB and it shows. They seemed to wake up for like 2 songs and the rest of the set just seems to drag on. Plus, they played Dear Lover at this show but didn't put it on the DVD...

[RANDY7419]

Rock and fuckin roll!

[Hellvis02]

social D rule the world fuckin great song!

[sound5ystem]

nice love that song
