Social Distortion "Reach for the Sky" (High Qualtiy)

[J24v3]

They should make an acoustic album =)

[joolzypop]

11 people didn't reach for the sky.

[WoodelfLion]

That's a fantastic version of this wonderful son!! I love it!

[MrZob666]

Mike Ness is simply god!!!!!

Every things he can do or play is fucking rock n roll.

SD is a big part of my life.

Russ!!! this one is for you bro'

[rennieg3]

Luv luv his voice!!! Can't wait to c hear him play this weekend!!!!! :D

[MrDoobear]

[alatebno]

[axedude98]

the drummer looks so bored

[MrStilly2010]

Greatest song!!!

[Beugueulz3D]

omfg this is awesome !!!

[LightningForce1]

Mike Ness and Chuck Norris walked into a building at the same time....the building exploded 4 seconds later. Nothing built by mortal man can hold that much awesome at the same time.

[r0nnieb]

@matsis95 It sounds to me like B-G-D-A and tune down half a step. Simples

[xxnowheregirl]

hot

[officialjbbeverley]

All good music comes down to three chords and the truth. Preach it, Brother Mike!

[matsis95]

@officialjbbeverley Do you know wich chords they use in this song? would be really helpful :)

[TheFatCampCrew]

Too bad the accordion player kept messing up.. Great version tho.

[AMSWorldTV]

anyone else else only hear the bassist sing during the chorus

[pietrofxq]

for the people who dont know about: SD already release a Acoustic CD called "Recordings Between Then And Now" from 2008. it has songs like Reach for the Sky, Angels Wings, Ball And Chain and many others.

[bige124188]

I love the way to do this song itsone of my favorites Social d songs I hope they release a acoustic cd

[KINGKAOS518]

One of the best versions of this song I have ever heard them do. Amazing!

[NataraKiller]

At least I still have x1039's youtube video playlist to sooth my need for acoustic greatness! <3

[TheBlogmocracy]

blue grass social d can be next!

[cgofme]

Abusing replay button.

[TwiztidMetalNecr0]

The audio engineer, Jon Weil, who did this performance did all the recordings and production for my old band, Casket Snatch. Good guy. We did all our shit in his house. Haha

[Kosub100]

mike du bist der beste

[Punkrockbarbie85]

I love me some Mike Ness!!

[NelsonMorozini]

yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery!

[undergrates]

beautifull version love love love it

[pingbrosney280]

i love this song so much>>>

[BattyMassacre]

BEYOND LOVE THIS VERSION!

[zbytniewski1]

This song I ski to the regular version gets me moving at warp speed around those gates! I freaking love this version!

[Dandanzoomzoom]

Social Distortion should do an acoustic album, translates really nicely. I would buy it in a second.

[jdmjunkie1020]

@brokrishnan yup mcla lol

[davevacant]

WOW

[mrplimpton]

epic



[TheQuardis]

Why, why I ask you, why would anyone dislike this? Seriously is there ANYTHING not to like about this video

[DempseyVDM]

Where can I have the tab please ?

[brokrishnan]

Midnight Club: Los Angeles anyone?

[spiraldive2]

This song is all about the freedom of skydiving, paragliding, speedflying. Love it.

[ShootMeInTheHead13]

These guys couldn't make a bad song if they tried. Everything they ever do ends up brilliant.

[JohnnyIrish30]

I wish they had the rest of the set on here.....ahhh Miss having X103 i need to move back to PHX Stat!

[slayeuse22]

Who the hell could dislike this ?!?!

[Buluk47]

Social distrtion "aksi menawan namun sangat bisa di resapi...saya sangat menyukai ini

[wackywacer]

Loving Brent Harding singing

[AlanNDH]

Idk why this guy remember me "Till Lindemann" from rammstein

@_@

[vintagezigg]

When I hear this song my heart wants to EXPLODE ! 

[vintagezigg]

Respect to the great Mike Ness ! Great backup voice too.

[drtywteboy]

Seems like Mike Ness is trying to get back to the "grass roots" of music and doing an awesome job at it incorporating the accordion in with his music and having the Bassist harmonize with him like in the old school country music..reminds me of Johnny Cash with June in the background.

[InternalDark]

@cakeisbetterthenfish to tell you the truth i love this song even more because of bassist and he doesnt sound like a girl he actually makes this song even better if thats possible so if you dont like it go fuck yourself with your dads dildo you little bitch and stop commenting on anything cause no one cares about what you say or think so DIE!!!

[karenrashkash]

This song is good regular and acoustic. I like this quite a bit acoustic. (not so crazy about Bad Luck in acoustic form)

[wwe2dragon]

@cakeisbetterthenfish so the fuck what? This isn't the old Social D. They don't have to do shit. Why does what you think even matter anyway? Fuck off and don't listen anymore then if it bothers you that much. Oh and its bassist, not basset you dumbas

[Babbschnegg]

yesterday is history....

[cornholio775]

This is pretty fucking sweet

[cakeisbetterthenfish]

the bassets needs to just play and not sing he kinda sounds like shit.

[stanboyd1]

@cakeisbetterthenfish you're obviously a new Social D listener.

[cakeisbetterthenfish]

@stanboyd1 To tell the truth im not, i have been listening to them since 4th grade, 2004. So yeah i came in on sex love and rock and roll, but i love the stuff with Dennis. I dont like this new basset to much though i think he sounds like a girl. You never hear the basset in the older stuff.

[Parley454]

@cakeisbetterthenfish I like the bassist singing with this acoustic stuff, just because he gives the vocals a more Appalachian mountain twinge.

[FlamesInAlex]

very good song

[TheFramer38]

This song is just epic.

[rennieg3]

Damn he looks so hot!!

[can75dice]

I love this version!!! ♥

[hotguybmx760]

I wish I would have gotten as high as Mike did when I was in my jamming prime time. Maybe I would of jammed my self all the way to the big stage instead of pursuing a law degree. I'm 24 though, so I guess I can still do it : )

[EviLEkA]

they're simply perfect.

[patrikklingborg]

so genuine. so beutiful. i relate so very much with the lyrichs. thank u social distortion for this wonderful song.

[M0n0bl0kk0]

Punk rock bands can't play and can't sing, they just strum and shout, yeah right. Listen to this, join your hands, say "thank you" and just shut up, you losers. And of course, thank you, Mike & crowd, for this priceless jewel of yours.

[tiredoldsoldier]

4 million veterans like this!

[70Krazy]

This mans voice does things to me!!!!!! Damn!!!!!!

[stanboyd1]

is it just me or is Mike Ness an even better singer now than he was back in the day, sounds like he has a bit of a bigger vocal range.

[Parley454]

@stanboyd1 sort of like Frank Sinatra, some singers do seem to sound better with age, the perfect thier technique or something.

[MrSheltone]

I've been listening to these guys for 30 years seen them live a few times and have NEVER been disappointed!!!

[DempseyVDM]

@MrSheltone +1 They are so amazing !

[halleck3]

Amazing song, amazing quality, amazing rendition. This is the 10th time I've watched this....

[asxjune1260]

good good song

[aaronbelone]

My new good friend Wilbur Benally Jr is an San Carlos Apache from Arizona, who is a singer in a band sang the very song for my brother Ev's funeral who was a very biggest fan of Social Distortion on 09/13/2011 09/13/2011

[playswithdrums]

god what i would give to be born 20 years earlier to really know these guys better!

[michal2844]

zajebisto piosynka

[silversurfer8016]

I have listen to these guys since I was a teenager. As they have gotten older and styles have changed, I have changed with them. We have grown up together.

[corporalgrinder]

I'm a big fan of the band since '97 but they need to shave and lose weight. Other than that they fuckin suck now.

[mikeshashimi]

@corporalgrinder

you missed a good first 10 years of the band and you're judging like you know shit.

[monkeyboylx92]

Thanks so much for clipping this segment from the video! Great version of the song.

[spacemandestroy]

5 people dont reach the sky

[MrHellBoyBr]

[hassekarl]

[Laney3000]

[colombino25]

[gilly19852003]

An acoustic BIG HIT!!!

[Caipyranha]

this song will always have a special meaning for me since it was their first song I knew.. & btw the guy who plays accordion reminds me of hannibal lecter :O

[WildSurrender]

I love this song! 

[blz346]

I don't get the gripes about the bass player--his harmony is spot on the entire time.

[bohs1984]

@blz346 Exactly, I think he sounds great on this.

[TornaZefiro]

Afferra il cielo perchè domani potrebbe non venire mai, raggiungi il cielo perchè potrebbe non esserci un domani!!!

[letskillgod666]

Great



[kiwipunk]

@Supermarioygys Your Far From Wrong Buddy, and it just gets better in Acoustic

[spiraldive2]

I'm a paraglider & I head this song for the first time today (the studio versio) - absolutely awesome!!!

[hotguybmx760]

This is REAL MUSIC!

[CIKair1]

2 dislikes... probably beaber fever fans and gaga loves

[LayriteNMurrays54]

Does anyone know what kind of acoustic bass that is???

[jimtrash1020]

@LayriteNMurrays54 check out mike ness solo music, cheating at solitaire and under the influences(the under the influences cd is ass 20s -40s old time country covers that mike ness grew up on. (great cd) BIG IRON...... rock out, my cock is literally out

[DubstepMadeMeDirty]

[iiaauku]

[MegaPunkette]

GOD BLESS MIKE NESS - ist echt gut!!! Haha, das werd´ ich auf mei Shirt drucken lassen!!!!

[Audgerie626]

They need to come out with an acoustic album. These are amazingg

[Audgerie626]

A lot of them look so sad singing this song.

[estudies]

@thepunkpilot Another videos of this session i heard this too, must be some sign of the Studio X

[CristinaWhibley]

MIKE NESS IS THE FUCKING BOSS. HE IS THE ONE WHO DESERVES A PLACE IN THIS GROUP, HE IS THE CREATOR. ALL THE REST ARE ONLY PIECES

[JohnnyCakes666]

Wow... such a great performance. They really put a lot of soul into it; looks like Mike was tearing up right after they finished.

[gwilcocks12345]

This song is fucking killer social distortion is the bomb shit WHITE LIGHT WHITE HEAT WHITE TRASH is my fav album by them

[chillyrooster]

someone had no arms to reach the sky

[DanEllisRacing35]

Best use of an accordion ever...

[chrisrockville]

didnt think the original could get any better and then i see this. one of the best acoustic versions of any song ive ever heard.

[Belk1488]

WTF is going on with the bass player's voice?

[triumphvinnie]

@Belk1488 I think it sounds pretty cool

[BADRELIGION14]

@Belk1488 I think it sounds great, it's like a throw back from times past.. Great music!

[Belk1488]

@BADRELIGION14 More that I hear it the more it grows on me.

[SlightlyAlive]

[DecibelChamber]

This is a very cool take on a rockin' tune

[holmeslaw666]

[DM910]

The back up singing on this acoustic is badass. What a great fucking version of this song.
