Social distortion - Ball And Chain ( acoustic )

[fernandafootballclub]

Mike Ness GOSTOSO!!!

[CelticNYC]

this set and the radio set that are floating around are both really really good - should be released as an ep at least

[MonthsBecomingYears]

I had never heard of this band until a couple of months ago. I'm here loving this video thanks to the song being included in the soundtrack to the videogame Saints Row: The Third. Delighted to find chords in the comments, I've been strumming through the song (badly) all afternoon. Thanks everyone.

[dizzyisme]

the first song i fell in love with by them. :D

[glennbo76]

Still the greatest rock and roll band of all time I don't give a shit what anyone says.....

[sickboystang]

to whomever cast the dislike vote.....your a douche canoe.

[JohnnyIrish30]

any ideas on the chords? D,A,G,D is what ive always been told?

[nwjones1]

@JohnnyIrish30 You were told right. D,A,G,D....First song I learned to play.

[dst0ller]

@JohnnyIrish30 If you're playing the acoustic version with open chords, capo the first fret to set your tuning to F, then use D major, A Major, G major, D major chord formations. If you want the power chord, no capo then it's D flat major, A flat major, F sharp major, D flat major.

[THINK178]

I like that everyone can agree in the comment section of a social D song it means alot..this is timeless music and I can't wait to see them in two weeks

[Leolicos]

your right man this should b a fucken album

[ImposexYourxWill]

I have those same headphones, I now feel like a badass

[nwjones1]

[chriserven]

[omarfuller]

drummer needs a hug

[KTEmatix]

they recorded this and they don't sell it?? wtf man I want those acoustic versions on my ipod!

[xTheGreenLightx]

His voice has lived :)

[slowfasters]

I LOVE SD....GREAT

[bassdudeA7X]

I love it a whole lot more when he says "broken down Chevrolet" just because I think of my pickup, but still an amazing song.

[MrShoopdawhoop58]

in the honky tonk one it's 54 chevy wtf?

[TheFlannelMonkey]

@MrShoopdawhoop58

he changes that line up alot, he uses different year numbers and such. haha

[renouncreative]

@MrShoopdawhoop58

Mike is into hot rods and classic cars, so when he mentions a date of a car, its because he actually owns one. he changes it almost every time he sings this song.

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

One person can't type and 109 thumbs up just isn't enough for this song

[Aerosmith739]

Social Distortion become my favorite band in two days, i dont know what i would do without this legendary sound :)

[Aerosmith739]

what a song :D feels so good to listen to, i abosolutely love this version

[namey420]

does the word perfect cross any1 elses mind when they think of mike ness and social d or is it just me

[law487]

Srry to say but this sux compared to Jackson Taylor's version

[WaNgErDoHg]

@law487 Jackson Taylor turned it into a generic country song and completely missed the feel of the song. Plus his version wouldn't even exist if it weren't for these guys.

[thock554]

@WaNgErDoHg

I said something about this to this guy on the ring of fire video....what a goon.

[billythekid614]

should definitely put this acoustic songs into a CD 

[tstlz10]

does anyone know the make or model of that acoustic bass???

[Stormwysper]

This song has saved me so many times. I remember when my girl of 4 years broke up w/ me a week before my birthday and I went to see a local band play the day of my birthday. I remember feeling super depressed when all of a sudden they started playing this song. I got goosebumps and broke down and started crying. I seriously wish I could thank Mike for his music as it's so much a part of my life now.

[drunkenpoets]

They should go on tour with the jug band and get The Offspring to open for them. I'd be at every show.

[SiceCBR]

shoot me for saying this, but i kinda like them more in acoustic

[b2l4evr]

@SiceCBR aint nothin wrong with that

[helmet959]

love this series of performances. i just wish they busted out making believe!

[MimiDaemon]

canzone fighissima e io sono un frocio!!!

[rockabilly1215]

mike ness is a person that helped me get out of my problems. he just makes me feel better

[469123456]

the best band ever, no discussions at all, they have never lost it and they probably have the biggest following that nobody really knows about and thats what is incredible

[Stormwysper]

The accordion adds another depth to this song. I love it!

[SocialDeth]

i got this on mp3 email me for the song

[mikegrenier1970]

SOCIAL D IS THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE!I COULD NOT OF MADE IT 40 YEARS WITHOUT MR MIKE NESS !!!!!

[wideeyewonder]

I second that Brother!!!

[RickyRenegade]

@mikegrenier1970 I have never loved and related to a youtube comment so throughly :)

[MrTrafficMonitor]

@mikegrenier1970 SO TRUE!!! I sure as fuck wouldn't be here if not for him!

[1sociald1]

I think these recordings should be made into an album.....these are really some of the best acoustic versions they have done.......

[1foren]

Bin Ten years & 1000 tears and look at the mess im in!!!!! Love this song!
