Social Distortion - "Machine Gun Blues"

[livingdeadgrl18]

this was a sexy time in history. especially if the bank robbers running around looked anything like mike ness.

[XxMotleyMattXx]

I first heard social distortion when I was about 10 or 11. Im 19 now and they are still my favorite band.

[IzzyECole]

That's probably the best music video I've seen literally in the last 12 plus years. Like someone else said before, Thank god for Mike Ness and Social D for keeping Punk Rock alive these days

[ilovetrio13]

Love this song and the video.

[BabaelCraig14]

if this were real what time would it be? regarding to the clothes everyone's wearing

[MrKodyska]

@BabaelCraig14 1934. Its in the first line of the song.

[Holmes1508]

I just heard this on Sons of Anarchy. Couldn't make out the words so tried to hum the melody and realised that this exactly the same as Guns N' Roses 'You Could Be Mine'. Try singing the lyrics to it over the verses and listen to the guitar licks, you'll hear it too.

[xTheJokex]

that was a pretty good vid it was like watching "public enemies"

[chiggz]

Don't get much better than that for videos.......or music, especially these days.

[SOCO1371]

naw. the whole video is awesome. skip nothing

[tripletrash]

how about we skip the theatrics and get to the fucking music already!



[MrKodyska]

@tripletrash Listen to the CD then

[182Beachy]

1:50 for song :)

[crazyc4geek]

Why no more views

[AILDfan1221]

Epic....EPIC!



[LaaHNaTHy97]

I say again, I feel sorry 4 your reasoning.

[hexwarp]

What, I didn't know John Dillinger was in a punk band?

[kamp86]

*Shoots repeatedly at guy in the chest, doesn't die* Sounds like Call of Duty....

[blackops123400]

this was the beastest video i ever saw

[expobond]

the 64 dislikes don't get social distortion today especially in today's capitalist structure

[bunnyliar]

that was cool artistic!

[stesoo]

BRAVI! FANTASTICO VIDEO

[oneskinnydude19]

i miss the mobster era

[adornomustdie]

fucking legends!

[CyanoticFuture]

IM gonna legally change my name to a tougher sounding gangster name.Ill be Johnny " Two Balls" Mangini. Or Mikey" Well Hung" Caprioti. Or Luigi "beergut" Corleone. Yea...

[djknucklez1]

@CyanoticFuture Or how about Ronnie "the one eye" Rossi

[CyanoticFuture]

@djknucklez1 Yea I can do that.

[gluemanred]

1:50 The intro sounds like the hunting unlimited theme song!

[Michaelhendry14]

Dam not 1 million veiws yet fuck is the world coming to

when bieber can get as meny as he wants fuck well i am shareing this on a lot of sites and well como on guys lets get this to that 1million veiws

[thatguy13346]

mike ness cant act for shit,but he's great.

[TheTorturekilla]

the guy underneath me is a moron and could never direct such a cool video. great cinematography regardless of content. idiot. but i love shooting and killing. doesnt matter who :P great songggg

[djknucklez1]

Thank god we have Mike Ness around to keep Rock and Punk alive, not like this hipster garbage on the radio nowadays.

[LaaHNaTHy97]

@djknucklez1 Sorry, I speak Spanish and I doubt born ... what the hell is hipster?

[djknucklez1]

@LaaHNaTHy97 Hipsters are guys who wear supper tight skinny jeans, don't shave and have ridiculous beards or mustaches with black brim glasses. It used to be a state of mind back in the jazz era back in the 50's and 60's, sometimes called beatniks, where ideas were liberal. Nowadays hipsters are just a ridiculous stupid fashion statement culture. The Black Keys are an example of hipster rock. They're so gay.

[LaaHNaTHy97]

@djknucklez1 Thanks... Gays?. To me, sound more like impotent transvestite who ejaculate rainbows.

[djknucklez1]

@LaaHNaTHy97 I couldn't have put it better myself my friend. ;)

[djknucklez1]

@LaaHNaTHy97 I'm actually from Mexico pendejo and I'm glad I had the opportunity to get out. I'm one of the lucky few, so I do know what you're talking about puto.

[LaaHNaTHy97]

@djknucklez1 Supongo que entonces huir de los problemas y esperar que alguien los solucione para ti es lo mejor, ¿No es asi?, ke se pudra mexico mientras yo estoy en gringolandia viviendo un cuento de hadas!... No puedo creer que hoy en dia, haya gente que denigre clasicos, solo por un momento de "hacerse el inteligente", Bueno, espero aprendas a no utilizar insultos para dirigirte a mujeres la proxima vez...

[djknucklez1]

@LaaHNaTHy97 jajaja me vale si eres mujer o hombre. Si supieras enteder Ingles hubieras visto que inicialmente no the insulte, si no te complemente con tus commentarios. Eres una estupida, mejor aprende a leer Ingles primero y luego responde a comentarios. Me vale Mexico, que se pudra. Y no ui, mis padres tuvieron la capacidad y mentalidad de salir de ese pais de tercer mundo.  Oviamente los tuyos no. Pudrete en tu pais de tercer mundo.

[LaaHNaTHy97]

@djknucklez1 Si supieras lo que es respeto,sabrias lo que es un insulto.Niega tus raíces, seguramente te importa mas la opinión de los demás.Juras que para el mundo gringolandia es un país admirable,Claro, !¿Por que no todos comenzamos a admirar a asesinos que solo ven por su propio interés, siendo los máximos representantes del individualismo que acabara con la humanidad?!, Noto que te contradices, en verdad, NO SABIAS DE LO QUE HABLABA!, espero que madures, me da lastima tu pobre razonamiento.

[djknucklez1]

@LaaHNaTHy97 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cry me a river Timberlake

[BeerBackwards]

@LaaHNaTHy97 The shit you probably listen to.

[LaaHNaTHy97]

@BeerBackwards The clash, Sex pistols, 2 minutos, fiskales ad hok, pinochet boys, the exploited... Hipster?... I can't believe that....

[faleirosmarco]

@djknucklez1 God Bless Mike Ness !!!

[MrManuelstrokes]

Mike Ness has those eyes that just say "Fuck You!"

[jehuqueen]

One of the Best Music Videos in History...!!!

[xXxUnbreakable15xXx]

Mike Ness is way hotter than George Clooney by far...

[MKRocker2012]

Huh, the song in this music video is a different version that the album

[motley22]

@MKRocker2012 I think they play a verse twice to make the song longer to accommodate the long video.

[mikeerosful]

long live Social D & mike ness is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo hot :)

[aFoolishFigure]

I wish people would drive such cars and wear such clothes today still

[declineofcivlization]

@aFoolishFigure sometimes my grandpa drives his 37 chevy to work and such.

[mraycgz]

Best music vid ive ever seen

[UnamusedTomcat]

Gangsters used to look so cool.. What happened?

[xj53pq7]

@UnamusedTomcat they became black.

[norcaltke857]

say hello to my little friend lol

[RitzDaCracker1]

How fuckin dare they shoot at mike ness.

[ShadowFalcon2343]

Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you a huge break through in this generation. I call it Modern Originality.

[greasershopnl]

@ TBsreams oke it is a amaing clip thanks for the info!!!!

[Name66X]

i got the goose bumps and hard nipples off of this song and video! lol

[Misfitspunk1023]

Best video....EVER!

[greasershopnl]

What is the movie playing ????



[TBscreams]

@greasershopnl its their own music vid its not a movie

[LocoRico89]

Now this is gangster

[penguin99ify]

Damn!...machine guns...blood...violence...rock­...how can you NOT like this!!

[StreetBoi69uk]

What's the jazz track when Mike dies?

[vintagegal8]

@StreetBoi69uk The jazz tune used in the video is "Walking My Baby Back Home" by Annette Hanshaw.

[AgainstTheGrain2021]

Legit video for some punks from Orange County. Production value seems pretty pricey, but it looks great, congrats. Keep on making good music, and I will keep on listening.

[haydenrockstucson]

im seeing them on wed. IM 13

[SurLeif]

@haydenrockstucson I'm jealous!

[pee2727]

I would of figured the one would be quick to pull the trigger would be a bassist.

[xXxUnbreakable15xXx]

Just saw them last night. THEY WERE EPIC!

[GreenDayFan3811]

@AwesomeSauce64

Well for one thing this song came out in 2011 and public enemies came out in 2009.

You do the math.

[kuuuueee]

im i the only one who would watch this if it were a movie?

[LyingPrauses]

@xTheFifthBeatlex But it ended like like John Dillinger's comrades

[allrain]

His son acting the part all around the place is silly. C'mon. Sick song and video, though.

[LyingPrauses]

Public Enemies in 7 minutes and 37 seconds

[xTheFifthBeatlex]

@LyingPrauses Well considering that this isnt the story of John Dillinger, not really.

[CivilainSheepDog]

@RJERR, This video screams Mike Ness, He is an avid collector of retro cars, bikes, etc. and your right if only we still had John Dillengers and Baby Face Nelsons. The days of the real "Gangsters" are gone now we have to put up with the ridiculousness of the "gangstas"

[burNNNzL4D]

63 peoples who they missed the "like" button xD

[ziomekpower]

4:50

B A D A S S

[wolffmagic72]

Haha... Mike Ness the gansta;)

[EthanDarke]

@wolffmagic72 no not 'gangsta', he's a gang-STER

[lambogibosimoni]

Gangsters' clothing style is the best in history

[pee2727]

@lambogibosimoni Is it time for us to bring there style back full force?

[PsychobillyCreeper]

ii'd written the song just to make the fucking video.

[sinkbelow]

too cool

too strong

[DJGTechHL]

Mike Ness is awesome. I was eight when I first met him, and was actually on stage with him once. He's an awesome guy.

[mignon888]

@DJGTechHL I met him too nut I swear he had bright blue eyes. whaat happeneed?

[DJGTechHL]

@mignon888 Hmmm.. eye color change I guess. I didn't really catch his eye color. I met him three times. Once in Portland, a second time in Portland, and in a record shop in Seattle signing autographs.

[mignon888]

@DJGTechHL I ran into the band in SF where they were staying when Dennis Danell was still alive... glad Mike Ness has kept the legend alive...in 1983 they were so underground, who have known theyd make it this big ..and without selling out thats awesome Love Mikes voice and guitar riffs

[iluvtheee]

please SD comes to Jakarta, Indonesia

[krzymajik]

@AwesomeSauce64 this song came out WAY after, i wish instead of a 7 min vid we got a full length feature!

[jackburtonfan]

Reminds me of Samuel Bass...Respect the man!

[kanyon842]

@AwesomeSauce64 Cause this song came out after that.

[husarz7734]

This is not only a song that should be in " Public Enemies", it is a song that describes them all, that describes, why they are all legends.

[18deathrider]

this was on an episode of S.O.A.! looks like TV is gettin back to go music

[SixStringOwnage]

I want that suit!!!!!

[RJERR]

if they only made gangsters like this anymore..notice the correct positioning of PANTS AND FIREARMS.

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@RJERR Speak for yourself dude I wear a pin stripe and carry a .45 in a shoulder holster.

[RJERR]

@xxspliffsmokexx I'm so impressed

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@RJERR I was just saying not everyone dresses like a bum smartass

[RJERR]

@xxspliffsmokexx

LMAO!! No prob dude not trying to piss you off or anything!! And yes I've been accused of being a smartass. My bad if I offended you!

cheers

[MackBallard82]

@RJERR and the correct spelling of gangster. lol

[catpee11]

@RJERR the only thing that bugs me is the complete lack of recoil from the guns (i've shot most of them in real life), but that's a fairly minor complaint...the video itself is no less awesome because of that!

[RealizerOfVizzo]

Guys can you help me out here, im looking for vintage 30-40s cloth for prom, and i really wants to look like Michael Ness. Any tip to a site where i can find those clothes and the shoes he has?

Tack på förhand =)

[mattwg2009]

@RealizerOfVizzo cant say i know where you should go, but i can say that is the BEST idea ever, and i wish i had it for my days of prom. It would have made prom likeable for me haha

[RealizerOfVizzo]

@mattwg2009 Hehe ok, but thanks anyway for responding ^^

[chisox100]

@RealizerOfVizzo try a halloween costume website im sure they've got stuff cheap now

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@RealizerOfVizzo You got money you can go to the shop and get hooked up. Can get yourself done up for like a grand just dont get real fat or you wont be able to wear your slick shit any more :(

[Alexkorbuto]

fucking great, Mike looks so cool

[jm8907]

Thats great they put mikes kid in this.

[paintball1256]

@jm8907 hes very family oriented for a rock star

[reiknot]

@AwesomeSauce64 he doesnt created yet

[reiknot]

mike ness é igual a um bom whisky, quanto mais velho melhor fica, incrivel!

[MrChristopherSlater]

Best F ing song and video by far!!!

[JUNIORSLUCKY13]

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET INVOLVED MORE IN YOUR SHIT NESS!?! YOU COME UP WITH THE RADEST VIDEO OF THIS CENTURY!! KEEP IT REAL AND THE LUCKY 13 ALIVE. 13ZOMBIES13

[77Alphawolf]

I agree--Why did they not have this song for Public Enemies?

[metalabsynth]

@77Alphawolf i'd say it was just because the movie was released in 2009, and this song was released in 2011

[The1222therock]

lokks like 4928 robbers are robbin a bank of 59 people boiz

[rcarrl]

AMAZING VIDEO!

View all Mike Ness and his band turned into gangsters who made it more cool

great song one of the best this year

[creeper320]

THE HAMMER

[TonightsSpecials]

This really makes me want to rob a bank...

[evilchynette]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC VIDEO!

[Ulfgahr]

Gunfights and Good Punk Rock. GJ,Social D!

[Ulfgahr]

This is FUCKING AWESOME! Love Social D.

[littlebuddypunk666]

every thing is AWESOME about this song. lyrics, song and video

[robbieb06]

As a NYHC veteran I'm grew out of punk pretty quickly.Punk was not enough.I wanted real hard punk and found that with Vision of Disorder, Agnostic Front, Burn, Yuppicide, No Redeeming Social Value, Snapcase, H20 etc.But the ONLY punk bands that truly tested the length of time for me over the years were Social D, some old NOFX, Face to Face, and Screeching Weasel and of course Minor Threat.I'm 35 years old and find all these new bands giving credit to the bands I used to see every Sunday at CB's

[TheRockBandESCAPE]

Лучшее видео года!

[steelgurra]

That's how i started to play guitar too!



[metalgod1967]

i love this band, great song and video,

[edjorthebeast]

what genre of rock would you consider Social Distortion in? They really have that classic sound in a modern era

[TheAssesKicker]

@edjorthebeast This song doesn't sound very punk-rockish, but they're a punk rock band. If you have any questions, just ask.

[edjorthebeast]

@TheAssesKicker thanks

[TheAssesKicker]

@edjorthebeast You're welcome.

[GreenDayFan3811]

@edjorthebeast

They are punk rock, as TheAssesKicker said.

Believe me, its in my name 

[Wuvdeer]

Original Gangster. \m/

[duke0594]

How can you not love this........GREAT song and video



[lightfootjohnson]

check out rise against if you like these guys they influenced them so you will like them

[dragondude2256]

@lightfootjohnson liking social distortion doesnt necessarily mean you will like rise against. rise against is a lot more hardcore, social d has also influenced green day, the offspring, sum 41, pennywise and rancid

[skalman8405]

awsome video awsome track!

[heshwizard]

@AwesomeSauce64 it wasnt out yet

[TheSlipknot79]

truly the test of time... and passing with the finest of colors! THX SOCIAL D

[mojoeyFTW]

@santiagoserra largate animal.

[86habs]

[Sisthafunk]

I love it, I love the Bonnie, Clyde, Buck, Blanche Barrow feel to it. Thanks Social D for keeping the feeling alive.

[bonfire817]

Anyone get one of the spent casing necklaces? I would pay double for a superfan who might literally crap himself!! Dammit late emails!

[DrOctopusBJJ]

Union Station DTLA motherfuckers!

[HornetBrazil]

[melastlaugh]

I LOVE Social Distortion for long time, I also think Sons of Anarchy ROCK!!!! 2 goods in this world that the rich rule and destroy

[sloshvictim]

Social D is truly like fine wine...

[Armorfordreams]

Thumbs up if you think this track would be great too have in Rockstars Grand theft Auto V when you do a Bank robbery mission This song starts playing.

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@Armorfordreams I think it would be even better if when the game drops this was the song in the commercial.

[jrbedwell0]

@Armorfordreams Oh, hell yeah ... this tune should just be the whole soundtrack for that game ...

[austen4272]

Hey everybody get off everybody's back we know Social D rocks but also thank Son's because now there are alot more fans of Social D so let's keep the peace.

[9timesnine]

I dont care for punk. Im a blues guy but this shits alright. Nice vid. Peace.
