I've been a songwriter and music lover for years dude. And other than that one little lead, this and "Get The Time" by Descendants, barely sound alike at all. Both great bands, but I gotta say Social D is better. Also, between these songs, Far behind is waaaaaaay better. Catchy, fast, energetic, even for what people call "old burnouts" at like 55 years old.
thats bullshit, my oldest friends mom had a place where he got beat up in the frontyard, but regardless he could've wimped out, but he stayed and fought, and he's done that several times throughout his youth (he's has a chunk of his left ear bittin off) he's no wimp, believe me. hieght has nothing to do with it. and no, they got better and released more classics from each record.
Old?! The alternative to getting old(er) is getting dead -- I thank God Mike Ness is still on this planet with me! I'd much rather have him getting older than gone. :-)
isnt this song dedicated to the descendants singer tho. and it sounds the same on purpose? between some beef with mike and descendants i thought...but wtf do i know...
I hear it is about a big mouthed Barber in Orange County. Not that I know these folks, but I hear the Descendents do not live in Orange County and Mike Ness said that this song was written about someone in Orange County. Just sharing what I read.
Man thats crazy. Ive heard songs that sound maybe like 20% the same as another, but man you guys are right.....this one is probably like 60% the same as "get the time." Oh well, still a great song I guess.
Well, I can see their point.....Mike has all those darn sold-out upcoming shows in LA worry about.....and then there is income taxes....Baby needs new shoes... The Descendants are free of all that burden.
Don't tell them--I am going to buy a Descendants album or two anyways...
That's good. You'll enjoy 'em...or maybe you won't. Don't think I was bashing Social D. I've been listening to both bands for a long time. I was just saying. BTW, when you look 'em up, make sure it's the Descendents you search for.
No They really don't. Seriously do us all a favor and DON'T buy their music.Their singer has a phd for gods sake. wtf does he care? His name's Milo...by the way.
Mikey comes through with yet another classic. I was at this concert. Social D kicks ass ans San Diego Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mikey and the boys always put on a great show.
Descendents Pfft, They Are nothing compared to these legends. Doubt they did copy thier solo.
Socail D And suck dont go in one sentece these guys will never suck they keep true to thier lyrics and thier beliefs they refuse to sellout. FAIR FUCKING PLAY TO SOCIAL D.
Mike a faggot ? i won't even comment on this as it is a close minded immature comment that really is pathetic.
ok ok to everyone on here saying this is a rip off of the decendents....come on you have 2 bands that have been around for well over 20years...both use alot of the same chords.....3 or 4 chords tops.. im a fan of both bands, they both rock
social distortion uses only three chords throughout most of there songs..there one of the only bands that i know that does this..the same chords over and over through the whole song...buts its awesome because they mix melodic leads throughout..so how can a song be a rip off whens its three chords over and over? social d rules! thats why there the best band on the planet!
Look, a lot of bands COVER songs and when they are only 4 riff songs to begin with, it's hard to change it without it sounding like a completely different song. Why the hell would you leave for an awesome band like Social Distortion and stay to see two of the worst bands out there. All well, Social Distortion still got your money. HAHAHAHA.
When Jared Leto from 30 seconds came out into the front row seats and standing up on the railing he was about 1 foot in front of me. Jared actually grabbed the hand of my friend to help hold him up for a minute or two which was cool.
OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU ALL ARE GIVING PRAISE!!! THIS SONG IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF!!! the descendents did this years ago... listen to the lead guitar and then listen to the song "GET THE TIME" by THE DESCENDENTS. (Its also on youtube and about 15 years old) tell me who is ripping off who!!!?
Shame on mike... dudes old and running dry on ideas so he starts stealing from his peers.
i did check the the descendents vid,and this is not a fuckin rip off.....if u have ears just listen to it....it makes feel good to say something bad???mike ness is the greates musician ever.....
this is not a bad recording for a camera :-) love social d
