Social Distortion "Ball & Chain" with Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready - 10/28/09

[dropkick4711]

So much soul and passion in this piece. Love it

[TheJohnny990]

Eddie Vedder was amazing

[Intelxx01]

Wow! I just heard Eddie Vedder sing my favorite lines to my favorite SD song. "I spent all of my money. I've been drinking since a half past noon. Times are hard getting harder. I'm born to lose and destind to fail."

[rjplamf61]

I'm checking out the people in the back of the curtain getting refreshments. Why the fuck would you want to miss this. They have no clue obviously.

[mowgli2071]

Vedder almost reminds me of Johnny Cash, when he does the "little wife" verse.

[MissCherryJones]

Musically, Eddie Vedder is pretty good. Personally, he's one of the biggest douches I've ever come across. My opinion.

[heaves12]

this is unreal.



[irishaggression]

Absolutely epic. Ness is one of my idols..and then you add Eddie...,epic

[ttamn92]

wow FeriayFiestas really like eddie vedder!!

[Tinksfaith]

badassness



[666Angelfuck]

this is awesome two of my favorites i never thought i would see this thanks for posting it, this is simply great all these old timers getting together to kepp our music alive and well bravo!

[godmathias]

soooooo good.

[MrMinorsalazar]

eddie screwed up the lyrics but found his place again

[stoningtonj]

well that was fucking awesome.

[HaulinHearse]

this video made my day. my day was going bad but now im in a good mood. thank you pj and sd.

[HaulinHearse]

i love social d and eddie vedder is one of the greatest vocalists EVER.

[scentofapig]

watching this video just made my day.

[DevilzEyed]

found this on accident, huge pearl jam and social d fan, and he got up there and sung from his heart beautiful

[Vebbster1975]

Let me also ad that Eddie is clearly drunk. He is enjoying himself just like rest of us. And we can go back and forth about how the mics are set for Mike but in reality, Eddie Vedder just sang with Social Distortion. Does it get any better?

[ckjacques]

This is great. Not the biggest pearl jam fan but this sounded awesome

[prs2100]

I found heaven just now, someone kill me.

[sandreasmaniac]

ladies contains your orgasms .... even if there is social d pearl jam and atom willard on the same stage

[pearcewarnock]

Might have had a wet dream about this the other night...it just came true

[minutia1]

Fucking Awesome U can just tell Ness is floored....

[minutia1]

Fucking Awesome

[666tellme]

i'm not a fan of eddie vedder or anything, but this definitely gave me chills. he did a good job on this one.

[SoulMusic121]

Vedder is fine, and the organ is actually an awesome touch, but whoever was playing drums for Social D on this tour was fucking awful. No energy, lame kick-snare timekeeping during the normally vocals-only part of the chorus...come on, son.

[billyb8306]

EDDIE VEDDER GREATEST SINGER SONGWRITER COVER SINGER DUET SINGER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[drfeelgoodTO]

Social Distortion toured with Pearl Jam? I never knew that.

[jasonsadrummer]

@drfeelgoodTO Hit up EBAY to find some of the tour posters from those shows there epic!

[TornaZefiro]

Che spettacolo!!!!!!!!!!! Non ho parole...!!!! 

[panchomoon1]

I'm a huge Social D fan and a Pearl Jam fan too. Always thought those two worlds should never collide. But they did and I'm cool with it since Social D is the band getting props. I once read an artical in Guitar World or one of the other guitar mags where Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) gave Mike Ness his due for his guitar chops. Long live Social Distortion.

[ejoteverde]

BRILLIANT!!

[adamccain]

this is a super awesome thing. i'm so glad that i have seen this. long live real music.

[mrjagermeister88]

all for u my dear nicole u gone but u still livin and burnin in my heart till the day i will die a nd i will be with u forever ,

[curej71]

WOW!! I love PJ and SD, that's like the Reescs's Cup of Great Music!!

[mbtjr]

Listen just after 3:10-Am I mistaken or EV butcher the lyrics? At any rate, this is a great tune and its great to see SD sounding so damned good!

[catfish4975]

@mbtjr Yeah. Should have been have been "Take away, take away, never to return again, take away, take away, this ball and chain". But he still pulled it off and M.N. never flinched. Good showmanship.

[biggerturtle]

go motherfucket

[MapleRecords]

I think I just came...

[JerFlow48]

I saw this live! it was my first PJ concert. I couldnt comprehend what I was seeing, it was like it wasnt real or something lol.

[MotorCityPain]

Fucking amazing.

[FeriayFiestas]

anyone who thinks eddie vedder sounds like shit can fuck right off.

I will fuckin fight you,

2199 sandgate rd, boondall 4034, brisbane, Australia.

[kevp]

@FeriayFiestas  bring it

[daxagent]

@FeriayFiestas and i got your back



[curej71]

@FeriayFiestas Spoken like a true Aussie.

[IIIllIIllIIIllIIll]

@FeriayFiestas You are a DOUCHE

[FeriayFiestas]

@IIIllIIllIIIllIIll I think you missed the point of my supplied address there mate. (Come here and say that.)

[IIIllIIllIIIllIIll]

@FeriayFiestas That is like taunting a bull at a bullfight from the nosebleed seats. You are an idiot. G'day douche.

[FeriayFiestas]

@IIIllIIllIIIllIIll Don't be one of those wankers who throws argumentative chat over the internet without a home address please.

[IIIllIIllIIIllIIll]

@FeriayFiestas P.O.M.E bastard

[FeriayFiestas]

@IIIllIIllIIIllIIll  Hush now, Eddie is singing.

[DragonDDT]

@FeriayFiestas enjoy your 30 pizzas, asshole.

[FeriayFiestas]

@DragonDDT deep pan crust next time, you big creamy poofter.

[chestercopperpot359]

@FeriayFiestas I second that...Vedder was the shit...

[blutters]

@FeriayFiestas enjoy the package I am sending you

[masondixonkid]

@FeriayFiestas Dude, that's so fucking funny! but, you're absolutely right, Vedder is awesome.

[armyfan23]

to say ed sounds like a pos is like saying gsimakoski knows what he's talking about. you do not know what you are talking about and please keep your uneducated thoughts to yourself. it would be in your best interest.

[majorkurtz]

Is that a pokeball on his guitar??

[gsimcakoski]

Eddie sounds like a piece of shit

[Geetarhero93]

eddie vedder sounds like a damn goat in this video.

[gsimcakoski]

Eddie sounds like shit. Period.



[superlou1s]

Eddie Vedder isn't just a music icon- He's a huge music fan! It's like watching a kid live out his dreams, he plays with every one of his heros he can find.

[fixmeplz]

@superlou1s I have to agree. Eddie does what he wants, and what he wants is to hang with excellent musicians. :)

[spaxxxxd]

WOW!!!!!

[sugarman08]

not since Joe Strummer has a dude been so fucken real

[beqi13]

You can show a sensitive side when you're an ACTUAL badass. When you're just playing at it, you have to be hard all the time. Mike Ness knocked out a dude with one punch and didn't even put his beer down.  He's the realest deal there is.

[Patterson101able]

Great show with two great bands.

[Tatts50]

Fuck yeah!! Social D and Pearl Jam are two of my faves....to see them both on the same stage would be EPIC!!!

[philciufo]

Two great bands!

[4FISH20]

WOW!

[wisesatyr72]

what a great band Social D is plus Pearl Jam..But these two guy get alot flack for their sensitivity I know..Macho men hate that

[fahim113]

@wisesatyr72 Nothing more rebellious or punk than showing a sensetive side to a bunch of meatheads!

[wisesatyr72]

@fahim113 hey metalheads are very sensitive but its after the alcohol mostly lol

Did u hear that mike got into a fight w/billy idol? maybe its a rumor

[Tatts50]

@wisesatyr72 I guarantee Mike kicked billy's faggot ass!!!

[TeenageHeadcase]

yeah that's Atom Willard on the drums, he played in Rocket From The Crypt, The Offspring, Angels & Airwaves... and some other bands for a short time period.

Atom is a good drummer... but I totally miss Charlie Quintana, he was awesome!! He fitted in perfect with Social D.

And a Social D track should never be played with Eddie Vedder.. it sounds awful! I did like it when Mike Ness and Johnny 2 Bags came on stage with Pearl Jam for the song Down, that sounded pretty good. :)

[bacchus71976]

Love both social D and eddie vedder, but they should never share the same stage again. This is an abortion of a great song.

[sacredo07]

I hate Pearl Jam...just a bunch of Seatle hippies.....this is truely a low point for punk rock or rock in general.

[theonlyjow]

hey uh how bout fuck you... first off pearl jams not punk rock genre second seattle is one of the music capitols of the world and third if you dont like it dont fuckin watch it dumbass.. but ya i agree eddie vedder should not try to sing spaztic punk rock.

[JohnRoseArcher]

yup, somethin small inside of me has died.

[hey138]

is that a new drummer?

[Boggs420247]

Yes Charlie quit awhile back.....

[cambruoso]

He got too be F'n good to be playing in Social D.

[Boggs420247]

Eddie totally messed up the song, or i guess he wanted to do his own version...

[hey138]

isn't that the point?

[Boggs420247]

Nope that is not the point, he should have stuck to the original lyrics,his version sucked!

[xkevvx]

It's ok, he does that to his own songs too! But cut the guy some slack...he sang over a hundred different songs that week...

[Boggs420247]

Cool i will cut ol Eddie some slack

[tetamphetamint]

i like it

[jmccor00]

Ed does that quite often. He usually comes out for one solo song before the opening band comes out.

[Ernie101]

this is bay faaaaar the most awesome clip ive seen in a long time! million stars! PJ & Social D 4 life!!!!!

[goblue4477]

Perfect!

[goblue4477]

Right on! They nailed it!

[MgoBlueJack]

This was one of the many highlights of the night. I've seen many, many concerts in my life & I've never seen any of the main act come on stage during the warmup acts performance. Thanks for posting this.

Does Eddie & Pearl Jam do this a lot? This was my 1st ever PJ concert.

I then went to the 10/31 concert to close the Spectrum & Eddie came out for 1 song w/ Bad Religion.

[37pheet]

eddie 'n' mike ness= awesome

[ooohoohfenderbender]

awesome...
