[dwhite1245]

This song has heart!

[flylikemrt]

I was 16 when I first heard this song....I'm 32 now...but Social D still rocks face!!! Here's to the good times!!! Cheers Bitches

[soccerskilj]

This is the perfected version. I really like the organ and arrangement. Top shelf Social D soong. Another home run for Mike Ness and the Boys

[raquelqbspecialist]

This song gets all the way to my heart, x)

[MrInkdskin]

This is the theme song for my life. Not that I'm in prison or going. Just metaphorically speaking. Everyone has there own prisons

[larryrod1977]

he may be a hard ass in real life but hes wearing mascara in this song and that makes him abitch! and for all you wanna be hard asses yes i will tell him to his face! he will probably agree with me. love the song just not the video,

[RyanOFelt]

i love this song but man the drummer is fuckin up the time, probably just drunk though

[Repteil151]

Is it just me or is the drummer the coolest looking dude in the world

[19hoffa]

[mercado215]

[Celucci1]

Ducar...lho



[newaccountdebzbd]

I could almost stand doin time if Mike Ness and his guitar were in my pod.

[juanmanoval]

5 people should be in prison forever

[Chris1fcn]

@juanmanoval im sure this five (now 7) people had just heard the first 30 seconds of this song :D

[monathemonkeyone]

Was driving my cab during Las Vegas Marathon stuck in traffic with people. Then across the street I hear this song. Made them stop and listen. It made the night OK.

[Inferent]

The piano really adds to this song. I really like the accordian in their acoustic stuff as well.

[podrido334]

FUCK THE LAWWWWWWWW

[SKULRR]

FUCK THE LAW.

[Tsokolantonats]

I've listened to this so many times the intro sounds ok!

[hansfork]

4 people sucks dick!

[soggyt13]

what year is this from??



[LifeShun]

never heard this with a piano it is fuckin fabulous

[RancidWarrior]

This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. The energy conveyed was awesome.



[seshorribles]

real tough guy song!

[acesandeights65]

@NWONoWorldOrderNWOyou mean keyboards aint dude

[oddstuff123]

i think social distortion is the only punk band that uses big words in there songs i like it it shows that punks can be smart too

[sssafew]

was listing this when was locked up. social distortion <3!

[SmklookinGlass]

THE NAME SOCIAL DISTORTION IS TALIKNG ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE-UNLESS THE HUMAN BEING IS ENLIGHTENED THEY HAVE A SOCIAL DISTORTION ABOUT THEM MEANING THEY ARE FOUNDED ON LIES DECEPTION-LIKE THE WHOLE FAMILY STRUCTURE IN AMERICA-FROM HOLIDAYS-TO BIRTHDAYS-TO THE RELIGO-POLITICal CORRUPTION GIVING OUR ENERGYS ON THOSE SPECIFIC DAYS--------IS REALLY OCCULT HOLIDAYS AND SABBATS-WHERE THE ILLUMINATI HAS SACRIFICIAL BLOOD RITUALS THE ZODIAC CALENDER WE KNOW-WHILE WE THE AMERICAN RELIGOUS PEOPLE CAN'T SEE

[whammimjammin]

@SmklookinGlass Pshaw, hahaha

[papashangofan]

3 people are prison bound

[MazzaJF]

Nice eyeliner dude.

[LORDGOAT1976]

Think he could kick some ass?

[lespaulDC1]

saw Social D at the old Irvine Meadows last night, great show, Mike's son played guitar in Prison Bound - did a great job

[theoutcaste]

@lespaulDC1 As did I, loved it. Wish I'd had pit tix tho. $13.00 for some beer called Firestone?? I had one in each hand...

[ForDoverUSA]

my brother.

[ialmanza4]

Sound guy was slackin... damn...

[ATrexOfficialSite]

LOL Yes... that's the nature of a live show..... love the live reaction and how they seamlessly rolled into the rest of the song perfectly. Social D, Mike Ness, the whole band, fucking rock! Thanks ya'll!!

[SHAKEthatMONKEE]

for anyone for loves social distortion look up the band volbeat! volbeat is inspired by social d, elvis presely, and jonny cash! they are awesome.

[dethwisper]

gave up image for fame...age does that to u unfortuately...love social D anyway

[StayGoldHC]

@dethwisper

It isn't even about that though dude. Go talk to 10 45yr old greasers and you'll find 9 dudes who were punk rockers when they were 17. Social D just did the same growing process with their music

[dethwisper]

anyone remember when social d was punk?

[stanboyd1]

@dethwisper yeah you mean their stuff before mike got off heroin and the music suddenly changed with the album Prison Bound. They didn't sell out for fame as they still didn't get very famous afterwards. Mike changed his writing based on his drastic changes in his life.

[mediattackrecords]

ewww i can smell the alcohol and b.o. on this one

[livefastdierrhea]

Am I the only one that was to drunk to catch that?

[livefastdierrhea]

And Johnny says "walk the line".

[whammimjammin]

Who hasn't been hit over the head with a mopwringer?

[bears8899]

TAKE NOTE SELF..........this is new music talking to itself.... hmmm sound as good if not better live!!!!! werid!!!! is that possible?........FUCK YES insert MIKE FUCKIN NESS!!!!!! and company

[angieXC]

Mike Ness has an awesome voice :D

[rottenwigga]

you now can't unhear "wagon wheel"

[Territoryiscool]

I will see them when they open for the Foo Fighters

[acesandeights65]

@Territoryiscool thats bullshit foo fighters should be lickin there boots

[novoorden]

Impresionante esta canciòn, maravilla oirla a esta hora.

[deuce6937]

2 people suck ass!

[speediegetz]

mike ness is the best singer evr

[TheFlatheadpete]

One of my favorites but.....the drummer kicks ass but looks soooo uncomfortable.....Still killer though.

[FreakyDeadlySurfer]

@TheFlatheadpete I think the drummer looks off at the start because the piano/keyboard player seems to be off time. The rest of the song he's just kicking back, playing some music... :)

[northropbound]

does anybody know who the piano player is?

[CrashWilde]

@northropbound i think its the same dude who does the accordion when they do acoustic...although now i think about it...this comment doesnt really help...um...sorry lol

[Cedesz7]

I wana marry him hahahaha



[whammimjammin]

as the macho man would say [may he rest in peace]  OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!

[superryu11]

if they make a new album again they need to put this version of prison bound on thier

[xsweetxviciousx]

Lyrics ,talent,,, so fine

[GBPacor]

I heard that these guys are gonna do a show with the Foo Fighters. If thats true..... then....... 2 awsome bands = twice the epicness

[fomoco1975]

The best live-band ever!

[rjplamf61]

I have fucking goosebumps listening to this. They are sooooo fucking badass! God Damn do they ROCK!

[rockabilly1215]

this guy is amazing

[acesandeights65]

CAN YOU SAY ROCK GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[JacknCocaine]

Awsome song - just love the voice of Mike Ness.

[DRTYWHTGRL88]

MIKE NESS IS GOD...AND I WOULD RIDE HIM TO THE WHEELS FELL OFF!!

[ChristianKarlberg]

Hello everybody, i know you can't be as good as Mike cuz he's freaking awsome and my favorite singer. but culd you plz rate and comment my live cover, thx in forehand youtube.com/watch?v=zaZxBmXgoG­0

[fenderspring]

I love Social D but the beginning of this song was all over the place. The band must have had a hard time hearing each other. Not enough through the monitors!

[TabeKat12]

The best!

[whammimjammin]

The memories, young and dumb and full of cum, bound for tracy, gladiator school, 1973

[quinlkb]

@whammimjammin mine was Washington state Penitentiary @ Walla Walla and im still "Prison Bound" 6 wing here i come.

[lasquid]

Just found out they're gonna be in E.P. on April 27th! I'm there!

[ACudmore2]

did bob dylan originally come up with this chord progression?

[cocksparrer1]

die geilste Band ever!!! hoff, dass ich euch nochmal live sehe

[irishmankentuckian]

I wish they would come here again.

[TrentTheNun]

This is one of the most common chord progressions rock/pop. They def weren't the first to use it and aren't the last either. NOOOOBS!

[cyberpunk33]

@bjensenbjensen Lemmy is god, Mike Ness is Jesus

[RockinRustle]

who's the asswipe that gave this a thumbs down?

[w4wxp]

@RockinRustle the people who found out that Wagon Wheel's instrumentation sounds like a rip off of this song xD

[RockinRustle]

@w4wxp

both songs kickass

[crud4]

Men don't sing in prison. It would be inadvisable. Especially at shower time.

[IMADAM95]

theres no dislikes :D

[krystalnacht29]

...And this would be my cry-cry theme song right about now... Just found out my (ex)-fiance got locked up a week ago. Three time loser, he is. Who knows if he's going to get out anytime, let alone anytime soon. Social Distortion is our favorite band and this song tells our woes.... Fuck.

[PunxandSkinz95]

i wish i could see them play live



[spitfire2203]

Its live music never going to be perfect! 

[isch1234567]

am I the only one who heard that they had huge rhythm problems during the intro?

[skaribou]

@isch1234567 and thats why this is the best version of this song ;)

i dont know, it just fits perfectly somehow

[mikeshashimi]

@isch1234567

and they just kept playing until they got it right... Can you say rock god?

[dippivagou]

@isch1234567 Yeah, I think it's a monitor problem between guitarist and piano man, because when Mike starts to sing all it's fixed up..

[dante4d]

@dippivagou The guitar sounds fine after a few beats, but the piano is all the way off. I'd say it's more like the piano man didn't hear the drummer properly or something. How can you not stay on time with that pedal hihat if you hear it?

[LySTER138]

@isch1234567 hahaha helll yeah they did

[wasnussich]

@isch1234567 no i hope so that everyoner heard that ^^

[cyberpunk33]

Mike Ness = God

[iagobSD]

0 dislikes, GOD !

[iplaytennis7]

@iagobSD There's no way anyone could dislike something this good.

[joshuatrAsh]

anyone know what kind of hat Mike is wearing. like the brand it is and where you could buy one.

[Punkouttacontrol]

@joshuatrAsh just look in thrift stores man. i have one like that and i found it for 5 bucks.

[joshuatrAsh]

@Punkouttacontrol I have a Brixton hat very similar but Mike's is cooler.

[n8dizzle3]

two years is how long im going

[cyberpunk33]

Ness is Fucking GOD

[hokie46]

Social D is a middle of the pack semi punk band. They've just managed to mostly not die off. They're not great, they're not terrible. They're not fast, they're not slow. They're just there. They're no Ramones, they're no Clash, they're no Black Flag. Mike Ness is not a god. They're just a rock and roll band.

[deathdealer60546]

@hokie46 No clash I agree but Ramones? cmon that was a one trick pony from the beginning and I remember the beginning. You mention a London punk band along with 2 N.Y. bands, west coast punk was different and had a cooler vibe. And at the core they are all just rock and roll bands.

[hokie46]

@deathdealer60546 LOL. Please. The Ramones damn near started the whole thing. By the time Social D and LA punk had legs, the Ramones had 3 or 4 truly great albums under their belt. I like some LA punk, but the Ramones are king. They wrote the script, and everyone tried to keep up. This is common knowledge, man. You don't have to agree, but you're wrong if you don't. And now Social D is a joke. Have you heard their newest? What a piece of shit.

[deathdealer60546]

@hokie46 Your opinion is your own as is mine.

[hokie46]

@deathdealer60546 Fair enough. Peace

[1like2rock]

@deathdealer60546 cmon...see the MC5 from Detroit.

[deathdealer60546]

@1like2rock Kick out the Jams kicks ass!!!!

[ssmetalmom]

After spending most of my life listening to metal and ignoring my punk friends telling me how much I would love this band, I started listening to them about a year ago. I too have a lot of time to make up, but I am off to a good start. Saw them 3 times last year and just got tix this morn to a show in May.

Ness is a genius and Social D is one of the most underrated bands ever!

Ill be forever grateful to my friend Kenny who insisted I listen to them!

[420jaws]

the piano adds a lot of range to this tune... SD kicks butt!

[claras91]

0 dislikes, THATS RIGHT! lol <3

[GillingerEscape]

There is something wrong with the piano at the beginnen...but still a great song!

[imterber]

timeless...

[beautifulsarah100]

Probably my biggest regret in life is that I didn't even know Social D even existed until like 2-3 years ago. I have a lot of fucking time to make up.

[Mochero86]

@beautifulsarah100

same @ here! social d. helps a lot in bad and difficult times - the most important thing is, that life is getting better...

[patb20civic]

Best version EVER.

[TheMaiskopf]

Is it appeared on a DVD? Maybe on "Live in Orange County" ?

[TheMaiskopf]

This version is so great!

Mike Ness is a fucking Gutters-Goethe...one of the greatest and best lyric writer our time!

[Willy8508]

it makes me feel alive...alive for real !!!

[TruthNugget85]

gonna see 'em in january in vegas! where my sick boys at?

[wattsupbaby]

social d fan since 1983

[GanoMaganza]

what's wrong with that piano?

[gr8latino]

They need to lose the piano.

[subimeyouthBJJ]

@gr8latino they dont need to lose it, he was just playin it all fucked up

[melrrinholopes]

hey very cool song... but notice the begining all of tempo

[zedma64]

Best version ever!

[BigZelda69]

[acesandeights65]

[joaolucian]

[subimeyouthBJJ]

[Falschgeld00]

Johnny, say´s: i walk the line...

AWESOME!!

[originaldavethewave]

They played this during their encore Thursday night. Off the chain.

[FinnegansWakeUp]

@originaldavethewave They played this in their encore on monday night too. Along with "nickels and dimes" and "ring of fire." It was the best night of my whole summer. I fuckin love these guys. I hope Mike lives forever

[xIHeadbandkidIx]

[originaldavethewave]

Thanks for reposting this, I was bummed when they took the only other version of this performance I'd found down! It's a little off fucked off the bat, then turns into my favorite version of the song. THANKS!
