EXCLUSIVE Social Distortion "California (Hustle and Flow)" Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV

[guidedbythespirit]

lame

[SoCalDazed]

probably the most underrated band ever....

I grew up in south florida, where SD just wasn't that big...

moved to OC in 2008, and got enlightened............

saw them at Hard Rock in LV a few years ago,

the Palladium in Hollywood, CA in 2010....

& going this Saturday night at Marquee in Tempe @ Arizona State ...

ROCK N ROLL EVOVLED FROM THE BLUES...

You can go see 4 guys with lap tops.........and take designer drugs....

I'll take this ....

[kolleonidas]

@SoCalDazed

Always cool to hear a story like this. Just a great band, fronted by a legend musician...Mike Ness!!!!

[Fishsticks187]

@SoCalDazed I KNOW man! I learned about sociald through *braces for trolls* guitar hero. Think what you want about it, but they've been my favorite band since I heard "Far behind". No one, and I mean NO ONE knows who they are here in northeast ohio. I got a skelli tattooed on my right arm, and I showed it to my work buddies, and they were like "i've never heard of them". I said "do you judge the quality of music based on what others think about it, or what YOU think of it".

[yenoh05ification]

social distortion forever!

[MuskyTom]

Powerful stuff....Left Hook Mike Ness....KABLAM! Make them strings sing brother!!!

[guitarsandcadillacs]

6 people are evil-doers

[whittakerdw]

haha the girl farthest from mike looks like she ran through an electric field

[mbeckwith146]

that solo is seriously crunchy

[octopus59]

I've been a fan of SD since the beginning, and I have to admit, I wasn't crazy about the last album. Not all bad, but not all good, either, like they usually are. I'm also not enamoured with Ness's solo stuff. There, I said it. ;)

[andyrockmore]

AWESOME. They never get old.

[xmt84]

Ness mantiene la palanca en treble, usando una cinta pegada al cuerpo de su guitarra.

Me encanta ese sonido rockero que extrae de su instrumento.

Ness walks her own way. This is the true rock n' roll!!!

[MegaBasshero]

awesome drummer.

[Hellman82]

F****NG GREAT SONG!!! i never get tired of it

[estadodegracia]

True fan? How old are you moron? True fan does not mean you must accept everything a musician offers, what I said is just an opinion, not "the true". True fan hahaha, is there true and false fans? You must be a kid. Ah, there is not "the best band", there are a lot a incredible bands: You suggest SD is better than Sex Pistols, Slayer, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Agnostic Front, etc.? You must be kidding. But it's just "an opinion" kid. Go and do your homework.

[slvrstnthb]

@estadodegracia ur an idiot. Mike Ness's roots are in rhythm and blues and punk rock. And read the lyrics and stop crying. He sings about the same shit he always has. And machine gun blues is amazing your a moron.

[estadodegracia]

Where is Punk Rock? I know, don't tell me it's an evolution or crap like that. The last record was a disappointment for me.

[footj8]

@estadodegracia Only a true fan can respect and enjoy everything they put out , social d is and will always be the best. punk was a fashion like all other fads not music think about it. U need a better ear and more lessons on music . social d for ever will be the band that has never sold out . I bet u r a huge metalica fan ..... lol poser

[slvrstnthb]

@estadodegracia Your a disappointment.

[staintedcards]

kinda bummed they didnt do ball and chain

[usd1395]

Have the tat on my back...Social D...period...nuf sed.

[terreviento]

Esto es rock and roll carajo!!! Aprendan niños!! No sólo existen New Found Glory, Sum 81, Yellowcard y otras tantas pseudo bandas que atrofian el cerebro y el buen gusto!

[Watkina0662]

age has now boundaries for GREAT music! Put the head phones on or just go and see these guys! FAN F&^%'ing tastic show regardless of where they are and when it is in their tour! I just tuned in a year ago and I am 49 years old! Look what I missed out on but I can assure you this is what I am listening to NOW!

[isauro27]

Makes me feel like if I was in las Vegas again XD

[CrusaderCNX]

awesome man.



[dizzyisme]

Fantastic. Mike Ness and Social D are too great for words.

[newURSS]

awesome Social D.

[cashlandrum]

I'm convinced that Jesus plays a Les Paul with P 90's. Great song, great band-as long as their are around rock'n'roll has a chance. Love the Ball and Chain reference in the lyrics.

[jimmyjazz82391]

@cashlandrum And not just P-90's, but P-90's through a creamy Boss overdrive running into a bright rich late-60's Fender amp!

[gatoreneatyahoo]

Thats so fucking punk!!! Awesome!!!! Real musicians playing real music!

[viewer332]

only Mike can make that shade of pink look tough!!!

[sdxfan65]

hell ya.

[bheimke]

Awesome jam!!

[swanky23]

Which came first... "Rock n roll star" by Oasis or this song?

[natha72000]

Yaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeh



[ttraynor1]

Mike's been dressing up like he's ready for a court date recently.

[Juanucho13b]

man that gurl in the scott pant's hot as hell

[msguerreiro]

4 soulless don't appreciate rock n' roll!

[nwjones1]

Kid Rock can kiss Mike's ass.

[gmr7494]

@nwjones1 That was a joke, right? That poser Kid Rock can't even figure out if he's a rapper or a country singer.

[nwjones1]

@gmr7494 Yep, I am not Kid Rock fan. 

[greasertom]

man johnnys tele and mikes p90s go so rad together!

[MrRafacorepunk]

very good!!!!

[gmr7494]

Awesome Mike Ness pirate face at 3:05.

[zsoot]

Those chicks and the drummer fucking rule, man! Not to mention them beauty guitars on the wall...

[GreenDayHDVideos]

fuckin love this new favorite song

[rockhi66]

Rolling Stones' classic Rock'n'Roll, Yeah!!

[vloret]

Awesome!



[gmr7494]

Perfect performance. Awesome stuff.

[soaring138]

The thumb of the front gitarrist is very curious... very strange ... Have a look !

[TheExports]

@soaring138 how do you not know MIKE NESS?

[quikvmax]

I have really enjoyed watching Mike's music mature and evolve at the same rate I do going through life.Killer.

[Watkina0662]

GIVE ER!.....

[yjjeepman]

Hells yea!!! THIS is rock n roll like rock n roll was meant played and felt!!!

[shebarabago]

This is a Sweet Song! It reminds me of driving around on the 101,and the 126 with Social D Blasting in my 72 Pontiac Lemans LX!

[slowfasters]

Awesome rock'n'roll riff, like the best. Not simply for all. I love SD

[BCriao]

like we talk here in Brazil "CARALHO IRMAO" thats awesome!

congrats Social Distortion and woman Singers!

[raq757uplayer]

Johnny is wearing gaslight anthem t-shirt :D awesome

[CriticsConfession]

@raq757uplayer I have that same shirt. Always awesome to see one of my idols wearing a shirt that I wear or playing a guitar that I play (I have a Gibson LP Deluxe with P90s like Mike)

[raq757uplayer]

@CriticsConfession awesome dude!

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@raq757uplayer i went to high school with the guys from gaslight and they still come to an ice cream place in my town all the time. theyre pretty much the only thing we have to be proud of

[raq757uplayer]

@TheCollisionofworlds Cool, I envy you.. they are my favorite band :)

[echoparkguitars]

As a native of Los Angeles and a street punk rock vet..I am so fucking proud to have my friend Mr.Jonny 2Baggs playing one of my hand made guitars!! Right in front of a wall of original late 50/60's jr's!!! for a large corporate giant!? if that aint Punk Rock i just dont know what is then.... Thank you Bro!!! These gents are as true a band as could ever be found!!! Echopark Guitars is proudly 100% hand made in Los Angeles Ca.

[jjfindog]

This is a STOOPID good performance! Phenomenal! Great performance, amazing sound, classic groove. Love this band, and I might like this latest disc most of all. Ness' tones from track to track are inspirational. Great, great shit!

[Mr316niles]

One of the greatest punk bands to ever grace planet earth!!!! This is awesome. Mike Ness and Social Distortion are back!!!!

[syrix2112]

Yaeh man, f*ckin Rock'n'Roll at it's best!!!!

[thiagofrdh]

I'm not very old, I was born 25 years ago and this is the best thing I've ever heard.

[liuckan]

@thiagofrdh obviously you haven't heard a lot....

[kowalchuk311]

@UFCfanboy1898 and @escapetoamerica...right from Canada....we don't have a GC up here but our version is exactly the same....and I hate to be the guy that says, "if you knew what I have" but still, leave me the fuck alone, I know how to treat a guitar. Guitar stores can be such a piss off.

[kurtheinze]

Orange County's finest - as Mike Ness says: "What's life without a little pain". Social D is back!

[tommypunkrock2006]

awesome! we want more!!

[aseserain]

genial!!!



[itwasryan]

:o Johnny's telecaster disappeared at 3:55

[CriticsConfession]

@itwasryan I noticed that and I'm like "Wait, what?" You can see a technician handing him off a new guitar all the way to the right just as they start the tempo change. I assume Jonny broke a string.

[jorinaapje]

@CriticsConfession He didn't broke a string. He's just changing his tele to the lp junior with humbuckers for his solo;)

[CriticsConfession]

@jorinaapje The solo on the album is done with a Telecaster. He broke a fucking string.

[jorinaapje]

@CriticsConfession I've seen him do the exact same thing when I saw them live. Another example is this video of Rock Am Ring around 3.40. /watch?v=rgbGi4DIGKA

[CriticsConfession]

@jorinaapje Orly? Because I saw them live about a month ago. Didn't do it then. Or any other time really. He probably broke a string there. If you know what a certain guitar sounds like, you'd know that on the CD, it's fucking done with a Telecaster. Shut the fuck up. You lose.

[jorinaapje]

@CriticsConfession Dude.. Really?

[CriticsConfession]

@jorinaapje It's fucking true.

[echoparkguitars]

@CriticsConfession broi made that for jonny while he was finishing the record..the recorded solo was done w his 55 gold top..he didnt want to take it on the road but he needed a quality replacement but could not find one..it is a 59' slab body jr.all hand made by me!! Echopark guitars in los angeles ,ca..

[echoparkguitars]

@CriticsConfession no bro!! he switched to my guitar for his solo!! its on purpose!! i made it for him so that the tone on his solo sings...echopark guitats

[echoparkguitars]

Respond to this video... no ..he switched to his 'echopark' 59' all 100% handmade!! it was made for him just for this solo!!!

[echoparkguitars]

@jorinaapje that is not a les paul jr!! i made that!! it is a 100%hand made 59'..named "lil red hen" hand selected slab mahogany body,100 yr old neck timbers,hand hound vintage wind paf's,aged niockle hardware! thanks for noticing...he switches for the solo...he came to me afteri built her cuz he needed a sprcific tone for that particular solo..he coul've purchased ANY vintage guitar...he chose the hen because the tone was Exactly the tone he was wanting but not getting.. uses it on 4 songs now

[nwjones1]

@itwasryan I thought Guitar Center sold it.

[blackprovocateur]

Mike Ness = What Don Corleone would look like if he was in a rock n roll band

[SDkitten]

sexyyy



[cloveman40]

poetic is right 1 4 5 = blues!

[emolulu5]

Most bands no a day play music. just PLAY music. There are the few that actually jam while they play. SD is one of them. You can tell by the way they handle their guitars while they play that they are having fun and not just playing music. Much Respect.

[emolulu5]

So did anyone notice that the other guitarists guitar fucked up and was replaced during the song?

[kubyn93]

@emolulu5 that was not fucked up. He played rhyme with the 1st guitar, so you can see the capo. And the 1st guitar is tele with single coil pickups, the 2nd is gibson with humbucker so the sound is more fat

[LOCUSLARSEN]

That Gibson isn't a humbucker. Its got P90 pickups.

[kubyn93]

i know. I was talking bout the red one. ISnt that the les paul double cut ?

[echoparkguitars]

@kubyn93 not a gibson!! its a Echopark 59' made by ..me just for jonny..we call her the lil red hen...

[echoparkguitars]

@kubyn93 its a Echopark 59' made by me just for the tour..he needed a great sounding one just for this song..and i just made 4 of these..he chose mine over a whole bunch..!! plus we go back a little in a lot of ways..much respect..thanks for taking notice!!

[EndlessNightmare666]

It just sounds bluesy because of the 1 4 5 chord progression.

[EndlessNightmare666]

I love that guitar tone

[rockabillylaker]

Social D, one of the last few, true rock n roll bands still out there. How someone cannot like these guys is beyond me.

[xlisvangelis]

rock n roll !!!!! perfect!!!!

[gome5000]

three people have a distorted social life

[ooohoohfenderbender]

Love Social D.  Cant wait to see the rest of the show...

[glennbo76]

Classic rock and roll done by a classic rock and roll band, it doesn't really get any better than this folks....

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@glennbo76 i mean aside from the fact that theyre a punk rock band. still a great song though

[danbrazier]

It's a slow verion of the Foo Fighters "Times like These" with the wrong lyrics, isn't it?

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@danbrazier what the hell are you talking about? have you ever heard blues before? this is literally blues rock at its finest

[PoeticJustice05]

@TheCollisionofworlds No it's just generic rock. Blues Rock at its finest would be Led Zeppelin's first album.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@PoeticJustice05 its true about zeppelin but listen to the riff. its blues

[PoeticJustice05]

@TheCollisionofworlds No it's not. Listen to Muddy Waters, that's blues. People think any old riff can count as blues. This is rock, closer to punk than the blues.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@PoeticJustice05 *sigh* alright listen here i love muddy waters and son house and robert johnson and blind lemon jefferson and all the old blues artists. but saying this isnt based in the blues is just straight up ignorant

[PoeticJustice05]

@TheCollisionofworlds Of course it's based in blues, Rock n Roll evolved from the Blues, but it's NOT blues, you should know that. That's like calling Sammie Hagar a blues singer because he mentions Hoochie Coochie Man in one of his songs.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@PoeticJustice05 point taken... and sammy hagar is a douche

[triforceguitarist]

@danbrazier

this sounds nothing times like these -.-

[leaphe]

this is really generic....:S

[krisgraves69]

This sux

[TheEarl96]

I like the old social distortion better

[Jiniisama]

Nice, but I don't really like the two girls singing in background.

[UFCfanboy7898]

i hate guitar center,(for obvious reasons) but i love Social Distortion

[escapetoamerica]

@UFCfanboy7898 ...why? not to be trolling but just why?

[UFCfanboy7898]

@escapetoamerica well i worked for them as a guitar tech for a few months, then i jleft cause i just couldnt take it because everyone who worked there except a few guys were just soo fake and shady that it just became unbearable, but hey, thats what you get in a corporate company like that right?...

[escapetoamerica]

@UFCfanboy7898 i feel ya man. the GC i go to has guys thats r really into just selling and ride ur ass to buy something, and then theres that one d-bag who has to remind me that im in an expensive acoustic room, like WTF man?

[rioolput123]

Lew Ashby from Californication on the telecaster !

[97fred]

That is a badass Les Paul he got there:D

[MadDistortion]

@97fred lol it looks like just a 60's tribute gold top with some stickers.

[ITSJODYCRADDOCK]

classic rock and roll riff! someone needs to tab it!

[AndersenGuitar]

@ITSJODYCRADDOCK shouldn't need tabs. It's a common riff. Just with a capo on 1st or 2nd i cant tell. A - G - D. Thats it.

[extrasum]

@ITSJODYCRADDOCK

its already up

[ITSJODYCRADDOCK]

@extrasum where is it up? I haven't found one and i've searched for months

[JohnZackarias]

@ITSJODYCRADDOCK If it's a classic rock and roll riff, why would you need someone to tab it?

[express49]

This is MUSIC !

[abdoelah01]

GREAT song :D love it!
