[Rise Me Up]

[El_Shiznit]

I love this band.

My favorite album of theirs is the S/T.
I saw them last month as well. One of the best shows I ever went to. The more I listen to them, the more I like them.

[Fabz]

Yeah they are great!

Favorite songs = Prison Bound and Don't Drag Me Down

[TheNowhereman42]

listen to them a good amount, some favotite tunes are

Don't Drag Me Down, Angel's Wings (Acoustic), Don't Take Me For Granted, Prison Bound

[guns_of_brixton]

Their s/t is one of my favorite albums of all time. Their cover of Ring of Fire is awesome.

[Unseen2k0]

I've just started to listen to them actually, I really like them though. "Don't take me for granted"

[DrGolovaCroxby]

i got Mommy's Little Monster, and honestly, i think they are over-rated. it sounded generic as phuck to me.

[kieranushurnusmcgee]

I hate them, even though everyone loves them.

[widzjnent]

i like them
fav song: don't drag me down
i don't like their album "somewhere between heaven and hell" though

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

They sound good to me, although i've heard very little

[_lower_class_brat_]

i owned white light white heat white trash and i listend to it every day but it got stolen:(

[dropkickstreetpunk]

i love social d.
favorite songs: dont drag me down, prison bound, anti-fashon, mommys little monster.

[skankinBassist]

Viva Social D!

My favorite CD of theirs is either "Mommy's Little Monster" or their s/t

[Rise Me Up]

did i mention their dvd is great??

favorite song:story of my life

[guns_of_brixton]

did i mention their dvd is great??

favorite song:story of my life

I was listening to it like a minute ago :wave:. Who does the backing vocals on that song?

And what is the dvd called? I want to check it out.

[El_Shiznit]

They have a DVD with Youth Brigade and Minor Threat and it is called "Another State Of Mind". And it is sex.

Not sure if that is the one he was talking about though.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I think the other dvd is called like, "live in orange county"...idk something or another with orange county. Great band, i've always thought that they were the best at combining punk music with older rock music.

[guns_of_brixton]

They have a DVD with Youth Brigade and Minor Threat and it is called "Another State Of Mind". And it is sex.

Not sure if that is the one he was talking about though.

Cool, I'm going to try and find it.

And to Weezerfan, I love how Social D combines rockabilly with punk too.

[Gnarmageddon]

I love them. I saw them live back in October with Tiger Army and they were great. I was listening to them in my room and my dad heard and he listens to them all the time now.

My favorite songs:
She's a Knockout
Winners and Losers
Drug Train
Don't Take Me For Granted

[Rise Me Up]

I was listening to it like a minute ago :wave:. Who does the backing vocals on that song?

And what is the dvd called? I want to check it out.


live in orange county 2002
it came out in 2004 though

[RetiredAt21]

They alright, I don't listen to them much. They are kinda generic.

[TheBouncingSoul]

I love Social D. I was supposed to see them in March, but they cancelled. It sucked ***. Fav songs are: Reach for the sky, 1945, don't take me for granted (rip DD), Winners and Losers, Don't drag me down, ring of fire, mommy's little monster.

And who is their current bassist? Freeman left some time ago i believe, and John quit after Sex, Love and Rock n' Roll, didn't he?

[El_Shiznit]

Yeah, it's not the same guy as the one on record, but I forgot his name.

[POINTLESS5448]

i have a social distortion backpack.

[SantaDuJuan]

i have a social distortion backpack.


Capitolist sucka.

[TheBouncingSoul]

Capitolist sucka.

Capitolisim sucks. In my opinion that is.

And I still can't find anything about Social D's bassist. He went MIA.

[StrangeDenial]

Capitolisim sucks. In my opinion that is. .


your celebrating capitalism by using the computer

[Brain Toad]

capitolism, is that the ism of the guys in the capitol building?

[TheNowhereman42]

your celebrating capitalism by using the computer

or maby he didn't buy the computer, but his parents did, meaning the damage to the anti-capitalist cause has already been done, and now that he has it he might as well use it to spread his ideas and make them heard

[Rise Me Up]

i dont care if it's capitalism-i will continue to buy stuff

[BassPlayer222]

Sd one of my top 10 favorite bands. Mike Ness one of the best liricists ever. My favorite album would be Mommy's Little Monster or Sex, Love, n Rock n Rool (new album) favorite songs r mommy's little monster, nickels and dimes, or dont take me for granted.

[streetpunx87]

I have 3 of there albums
sex love and rock and roll
somewhere between heaven and hell
white light white heat white trash
I saw the dvd but i was broke i was so pissed .

When I heard story of my life in concert i was in awe
its just diffrent when you go in person and when ur listen to a cd.

[Psycho Skinny]

Social D is what rock and roll is all about: music, women, booze, and making it sound like it's the everyman's story. The people I work with never heard of them or listened to any of their stuff, but over the course of playing all of their albums, almost all of them have come to like them because they can identify with the songs, and there isn't anything better than a little rockabilliy and some punk to make things a little more interesting than the same old Kenny Chesney crap.

[guns_of_brixton]

My friend's mom likes Social D alot. She went to see them live a few years ago, and has a Social Distortion liscense plate frame :cool:.

[SactoUnited]

I love Social D. I like them better than the Ramones. They always sounded more alternative to me than punk. One of my favorite bands nonetheless.

[RetiredAt21]

They definitely sound more on the alternative side rather than punk. But something about them is definitely punx.

[SantaDuJuan]

or maby he didn't buy the computer, but his parents did, meaning the damage to the anti-capitalist cause has already been done, and now that he has it he might as well use it to spread his ideas and make them heard

:cool:


Anerky4life

[streetpunx87]

you spelled anarchy wrong .

[Brothel_Creeper]

you spelt punks wrong

:rolleyes:

[streetpunx87]

:o Ok it doesn't matter anymore.

[Brothel_Creeper]

that's because you're an idiot who doesn't understand what a joke is, even if it is an old, un funny joke

[AnAmericanParadox]

Thier new album is great, but i like white heat, white light, white trash better

[TheBouncingSoul]

or maby he didn't buy the computer, but his parents did, meaning the damage to the anti-capitalist cause has already been done, and now that he has it he might as well use it to spread his ideas and make them heard

Thank you for sticking up for me. That was rad. I'll rep you for that.

Anyways, did anyone find out about the bassist? I can't find a **** thing.

[streetpunx87]

I don't know what happen to there bassit maybe you should check out there official site if you already did ?.

[GreyAssassingtr1]

i like there song sometimes i do. i only have somewhere between heaven and hell though, i'll have to get some more of their cds, and the dvd of course.

[Rise Me Up]

[BassPlayer222]

Anyways, did anyone find out about the bassist? I can't find a **** thing.[/QUOTE]

after all the time away from touring he stayed home with his family and did other things and has decided hes done with touring and playing music and wanted to get on with life......but they got rancids bass player which will make for a great new album....lets pray it doesent take another 8 years

[DrGolovaCroxby]

matt freeman already left, son.

[BassPlayer222]

matt freeman already left, son.
awww he did? they need to update the history part of the SD website

[DrGolovaCroxby]

yeah. he's starting a family now or something like that.

[mike79]

one of my favorite bands.

[TheBouncingSoul]

Yeah SD has no bassist, so they sould recruit me. That'd kick ***.

[metty16]

good band. my principal likes them :S

[TheBouncingSoul]

good band. my principal likes them :S


thats really cool. My principal hates punk and anything to do with it. My jazz band teacher however, listens to rancid and ****. he rules.

[non sequitor]

social d are f*cking awesome...they have the perfect mix of being melodic and kick *** rock at the same time

everysong on mommys little monster is awesome but id saying telling them is my fav.

[waterproofpie]

I got their live dvd, it's so good.


I think I'm seeing them down the road next month. Super excited.

[streetpunx87]

Thats cool i wish my princpal likes social D . but i get beat up and hazed by the kids me and my friends are lucky were alive 0_0.

[bassplayer199two]

You Should've put Social D in another forum, there not punk...

[evan6the9punk]

And I still can't find anything about Social D's bassist. He went MIA.[/QUOTE]

wanted to spend more time with the family, so now the rancid bassist fills in. kicks so much A**

[nitzguy]

their bassist name was Joe Mauer. he left to be with his family. it sucked that matt didn't hype up the basslines in the live shows

[streetpunx87]

So did matt fill back in for them ?

[nitzguy]

only on tour

[streetpunx87]

ok .

[TheBouncingSoul]

Here is what i know...Matt also left SD, after JOHN Mauer quit. (edit to the guy who said Joe). But i think i'm seeing them in may, so i'll find out. maybe. and to the dude who said SD isn't punk...what are they?

[streetpunx87]

maybe i could find some useful information on this.

[Rise Me Up]

You Should've put Social D in another forum, there not punk...


:lol: your an idiot

[streetpunx87]

Should I close this thread ?

[SociallyDistorted14]

noo, don't close this thread
MIKE NESS IS MY HERO

every social d song speaks to me in a way nothing else can, whenever i'm down i listend to social d, my favorite album is either their s/t or White heat white light white trash, i get to see them live next month and i can't wait. the band that i play in has heavy social distortion influence.

for the guy that hates Social Distortion, tell me what is there to hate, they can be hardcore, they can be slow, they have perfect harmony and Mike Ness has the coolest voice ever. Sure Beats the crap out of those high voice pop punk little bastards.

[DrGolovaCroxby]

so i've been listning to my "Mommys Little Monster" cd a little more, and its starting to grow on me.

[SactoUnited]

My biology teacher loves them. Anyway, I also think Mike Ness' solo stuff is incredible too. Not punk at all, more rockabilly influenced.

[streetpunx87]

I am not closing this thread :).

[Unseen2k0]

I am not closing this thread :).

Because you can't.

Very good band, I have their newest CD in my car right now.

[streetpunx87]

All there stuff is fricken awsome there newest cd is great good choice .

[Rise Me Up]

All there stuff is fricken awsome there newest cd is great good choice .

my avatar= :cool:

[streetpunx87]

Yeah good cd :cool:

[mitchhip]

I've heard their cover of death comes ripping by the misfits, and it was good.

[billythekid123]

Mat Freeman Left!!!???? That sucks. Im gonna see them in June and they ****in rock. Ive been listening to them forever and they rock. anybody who says otherwise... start runnin.

Im hungry... adios.

[SlappedByTheClash]

You Mofos, there new bassist is Brent Harding. He backed Ness on his solo tours.


Don't Take Me for Granted is teh sex. In fact, Everything SD does is teh sex.


Don't delay! Support SD today!


Even their 30 dollar tickets...b'astards.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Should I close this thread ?
Do you have any idea who can close threads?


I can assure you it isn't you. :smash:

[JimMorals]

I love them. I saw them live back in October with Tiger Army and they were great.

I saw them in October too with Tiger Army and The Explosion! The show kicked my ***! What city did you see them in? Did they play the same version of Prison Bound for you that we got with it starting off on keyboards??? :D

[metty16]

from pictures i've seen of the band, they look like they are pretty old( e.g. the lead singer ) how old are they?

[SlappedByTheClash]

Ness was born back in '62.


You can do the math. They've been a band since like 78.

[Jessizzle]

Ewww There like... My parents Age...

[SlappedByTheClash]

But can your parents write musical orgasm?


No.


Story of Your Life, I know.

[rancid90]

Ewww There like... My parents Age...

ya... excpet sd writes music and they rule

[nitzguy]

But can your parents write musical orgasm?


No.


Story of Your Life, I know.
:lol: SD are coming to my area in late may but i can't go. sucks because the last time i saw them i had to watch from the balcony, and the 30 tickets are pricey but well worth it

[mr senseless]

i love social distortion

fav songs;
prison bound
story of my life
ring of fire

the s/t album kicks ***

[SkaRobotArmy]

you know what rocks about these guys? from 78' to '05 they made great music all the way through. Looking at all the songs everyone picked, they span their entire career, i was really surprised by the support for the new album, i might have to go pick it up now...

[Faith No Doubt]

Good band, like them a lot.

[JimMorals]

It's also cool watching them now and Mike saying, "I wrote this song when I was 20!" and they kick into Mommy's Little Monster. The realllllly old stuff from when he was a kid is so much better now with Mike's 40-year-old, raspy, cigar-smokin' voice.

[Gotta Scream Punk]

I have Mommy's Little Monster on colored vinyl. Also I was supposed to seem them last year but my ride backed out on me. I could've killed him.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I was always amazed at Ness's songwriting abilities, cause he wrote awesome songs when he was really young.

[wont_be_sedated]

S/T is my favorite. I love Story Of My Life and Ball and Chain, as well as The Creeps...

and I saw them last October w/ Tiger Army and both bands were awesome...:D

[SactoUnited]

i love social distortion

fav songs;
ring of fire

Agreed. Cant wait, June 8th.

[smOKYthebear]

hey any of u guys wana fvk with the capitalist market and send me a cd through aim or msn im poor so i cant order any music

[smOKYthebear]

my aim is uhaz14 and my email is hazman_10238@hotmail.com
I NEED MO MUSIC PLS SeND

[Faith No Doubt]

Last night I walked into my friend's house and he was watching a **** movie.

The bit I saw, one of the characters (female) sits down next to another and tattooed on her right arm was the Social Distortion symbol (the smiley face with crosses for eyes and a trilby hat on).

That made me smile.

[white_riot]

I've heard a couple of Social Distortion songs and they sounded pretty good.

[Time]

uh dont wanna be off topic but which album by them should i get first? i like mommy's little monster and the s/t one, but there are so many others

[Rise Me Up]

All of their albums are really good except somewhere between heaven and hell.

[Faith No Doubt]

I always thought "Somewhere" was the best.

"Prison Bound" is a good album to start with.

[Anti-Prefix]

"Whatever."

But no thanks.

[streetpunx87]

wow i am so proud of my thread this like the longes one i have had that has stayed open.

[streetpunx87]

Wow this thread kinda died .

[Brain Toad]

Don't bump threads, even if they your own.

[streetpunx87]

oh sorry.

[Fabz]

uh dont wanna be off topic but which album by them should i get first? i like mommy's little monster and the s/t one, but there are so many others

I think their best album is White Light White Heat White Trash
I also really like their new stuff (Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll).

[Fabz]

[Ken1981]

Mommy's Little Monster
Anti-Fashion
It Was a Pretty Picture
1945
Under my Thumb
Prison Bound

Bad Luck
Reach for the Sky
So far Away
A Place in my Heart

**my fantasy set-list

[JohnXDoe]

I like them a lot. Have seen 'em several times and Mike Ness solo, too. I like most of there stuff, although Ness is a bit sensitive with the lyrics these days. And his twelve step stuff tends to creep in more often. Especially on White Light, White Heat, White Trash. I've never really thought of them as a punk band, though. But then again that goes for a lot of "punk" bands I like :rolleyes:.

Anyone like Mike Ness's Country - Hillbilly music influenced solo stuff? I dig it :thumb:

[Fabz]

I have Cheating At Solitaire by Mike Ness and I really like it!

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I like their title ablum a lot

[streetpunx87]

The should come back and do a show a in FL that was great.

[Fabz]

I would really like to see them live....

[streetpunx87]

Social Distortion is great Live it's like f***king amazing especially when you go crowd surfing.

[Fabz]

You saw them when they were touring with Street Dogs and Backyard Babies?

[streetpunx87]

Yeah it was great i thought the streetdogs where good.

[SactoUnited]

They are but Im seeing them and the Lost City Angels are playin now :upset:.

[TwItCh13]

Viva Social D ^_^

Story of MY life and Under My Thumb are ma Fave.

[Fabz]

Favorite: Prison Bound, Don't Drag Me Down, Reach For The Sky, It's Law, 1945, Story Of My Life, Cold Feeling, I Was Wrong,etc....

[Weezerfan_returns]

I'm going to see them tomorrow!
So excited, but i wish I would've seen them whent hey toured with Matt Freeman.
Oh well...tomorrow will be great

[Fabz]

Matt Freeman or not I would kill to see them live!

[TQPTULSAPUNKROCK]

The current bassist is Brent Harding, Matt Freeman left after he had his first child (but he now has lung cancer.) and the backing vocals for Story of My Life are probably that of John Maurer or Dennis Danell.

[Weezerfan_returns]

Matt Freeman or not I would kill to see them live!
Well yeah, of course.
Songs i want to see live:
Telling them, Mommy's little monster, cold feelings (i have a feeling they wont pay that one), bad luck, of course they'll play dont drag me down, its the law, under my thumb, story of my life, 1945, Making Beleive.
It's going to kick as's. I hope i get to meet mike ness :D

[Fabz]

Well yeah, of course.

Social D is one of my fav. punk bands, but i have a question, and excuse me if i sound stupid, but are they still together or did they break up?

[Fabz]

still together

[streetpunx87]

Social D is one of my fav. punk bands, but i have a question, and excuse me if i sound stupid, but are they still together or did they break up?

[streetpunx87]

[Brain Toad]

They are good they kick ***

[Fabz]

Still better than the dude who have post 10 time the same thing above :lol:

[allsystemssuck]

I hate them, even though everyone loves them.


I HATE YOU MUAHAHAHA!

[metty16]

Theyre like atleast 40 now, right

[SlappedByTheClash]

Theyre like atleast 40 now, right
Ness is about 42-43 I'm thinking.

[/RushFan\]

did there guitarist diw of a brain tumor or something? :upset:
Social Distortion is great, there old stuff kinda sounds like ramones, but I like there newest album the best :thumb:

[Weezerfan_returns]

So yeah, i saw them last week, on tuesday. The opening bands were decent, the lost city angels and the eyeliners. Social D came on, and opened with Mommies little monster...wow. The show was overall, preatty good, especially since it was only 15 bucks. But i was a little dissapointed in that they didnt play much of their faster stuff, like Telling Them, Don't Drag Me Down, The Creeps. The only song they played off White Light was Under My Thumb. :sad: They didnt even play bad luck...
But don't get me wrong, they were great, and at the end, when they played story of my life...wow. I must honestly say that they closed a show better than anyone I've ever seen live. The new bass player is cool i guess, haha he looks like a fat Quentin Tarentino. After the show we met the "replacements" haha, meaning the Old *** Drummer, the new guitar player, and the new bass player.... Mike Ness never came out, but oh well. Seeing that he's like, 40 some years old, I have to admire him, he can still put on such a great show. If they're coming to your town, i'd definitely reccomend seeing them.

[SactoUnited]

Mike Ness was probably too busy shooting up.

[Weezerfan_returns]

Mike Ness was probably too busy shooting up.
When did he quit heroin?

[SactoUnited]

I don't know. I've just heard rumors that he still does it.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I don't know. I've just heard rumors that he still does it.
haha Does heroin have anykind of affect on your weight? I know that people who snort a lot of coke lose a lot of weight.
Haha that night he was looking kinda chubby. Fatter than in most pictures or on the Live in Orange County dvd...
idk heroin or no, he's still someone i look up to.

[SactoUnited]

I don't know if it's heroin acutally, somebody told me the reason why the Sacramento and Santa Barbara shows were cancelled was because of his drug problem. Thats probably just a rumor, although I wouldn't be surprised.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I doubt it...
****, i really wish they wouldve played Dont Drag Me down, dear lover, bad luck...but no.
I personally dont like their new album much, there's a few good songs, but theyre too slow.

[SactoUnited]

I doubt it...

Did the Lost City Angels play fast at all?

[Weezerfan_returns]

Yeah, pretty fast. They were cool, have you ever heard them?
I'd say they sound kind of like Lars Frederiksen and the bastards, but with a singer who kinda screamed a little more, and looked like he belonged in My Chemical Romance or something... But yeah, they were a cool band, for sure... The bass player was like, this big, hairy, sasqutch monkey man. haha

[SactoUnited]

Don't drag me down is an awesome song.

[Weezerfan_returns]

Good, so at least they can bring the mosh then.
at the venue we saw them, the fuc'kface bouncers were kicking people out for moshing, and because LCA was opening, the crowd wasnt that into them.
I think that they should tour with someone else, because a lot of the Social D crowd isn't even into a band like that.
But with the no moshing **** at the show, at the end when they 0played Story of My Life, holy ****. The crowd turned into one big pit, and there was nothing they could do... :lol:

[RRP]

favourite songs would have to be

Story Of My Life
When The Angels Sing
Don't Drag Me Down
I Was Wrong

their old guitarist died at the age of 30 something cause he had a brain anerysm...or however the hell you spell it... I should work on getting my grade 3, oh well.

[Faith No Doubt]

Dennis Danell, rhythm guitarist with Social D and the only founding member left besides Mike Ness, died on February 29th 2000 of a brain aneurysm.

He was only 38 years old.

at the venue we saw them, the fuc'kface bouncers were kicking people out for moshing, and because LCA was opening, the crowd wasnt that into them.
I think that they should tour with someone else, because a lot of the Social D crowd isn't even into a band like that.
But with the no moshing **** at the show, at the end when they 0played Story of My Life, holy ****. The crowd turned into one big pit, and there was nothing they could do... :lol:


haha i was totally at that show... not much they could do about it... one of the guards was an *** though... stood right on the edge of the pit that formed... it was an awesome show

[SactoUnited]

Last night's Social D show was hella fun, the Eyeliners were possibly one of the worst bands Ive ever seen, but it was worth it to see Social D. I almost got my *** kicked by this thirty something year old rockabilly guy for bumping into him :lol:

[PFJ]

What subgenre would Social D be considered?

[Rise Me Up]

What subgenre would Social D be considered?


None,just punk. I think.

Know any bands that sound similar?

[Rise Me Up]

Know any bands that sound similar?


Swingin' Utters. Street Dogs.

[Saberpunk]

Swingin' Utters. Street Dogs.

Swingin Utters definitly, Street Dogs not as much. Social D has a really distinct sound, almost Punk/RockabillyCountry

Street Dogs sound more like Social D than the Utters do.

[Rise Me Up]

Street Dogs sound more like Social D than the Utters do.


That was my thought exactly.

[Faith No Doubt]

I would say Social D can be classed under rock 'n' roll too.

I recently acquired the Japenese version of "Social Distortion" with 2 bonus tracks - "It's All Over Now" and "Shame On Me".

Anyone heard them?

[hatepop]

great band. that is all I can say :D

No, I haven't.

Post 'em in the YSI thread, please.

[Faith No Doubt]

How do I post them without an e-mail address?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

just click send it and leave it blank. It'll give you a link when it's done

[Faith No Doubt]

I'll get right on it.

[davybum69]

Great band, i hope there ariund for 20 more years

[Fabz]

I hope they will be around until the day I die :D

[marissa1234]

I have all the albums and have been listening to them since '80-'81

QUOTE=SlappedByTheClash]You Mofos, there new bassist is Brent Harding. He backed Ness on his solo tours.

s/t stands for self titled.

[kev13]

Dude, Social Distortion is my favorite band of all time. I started out listening to them, and they still are just as great as they were then. There is not one song by them that I don't like, they are one of the few bands that I can put in their album and listen to it straight through numerous times. I saw them last october when Matt Freeman was playing bass for them, and Tiger Army opened. It was an absolutely excellent show.

[nobody's hero999]

im lisnin 2 them rite now. my faovrite songs are ball and chain, dont drag me down, dont take me for granted, its the law, story of my life and every other song they play.

[skankinOstrich]

Angel's Wings is my favorite song. Mike Ness's voice makes it sound great.

[3qtzDrunk]

Yea, the eyeliners did suck. After the show some dude was trying to sell thier cd to my friend, she was very drunk, and kept going on and on about how bad they sucked, so this guy was like, ''well you see this girl on the cd? thats my wife!'' So my friend was like, ''oh honey, thats so great that you have a wife who can open up for Social D'' He was pretty offended and walked away.

[El_Shiznit]

Finally picked up Prison Bound the other day. It was their only studio album I was missing.

Listening to it now. Really good so far, but that was expected from this band.

[Fabz]

L.A. Prison Bound is one of my favorite album ever....I mean you have 3 simply amazing song on it ----> Prison Bound, It's Law and Lost Child

[El_Shiznit]

I'm on "I Want What I Want" right now. My favorite so far would have to be "Like An Outlaw (For You)". The sound clips are cheesy as fuc'k, but it's still irresistably catchy. But they are all so good. I love the acoustic guitars on this CD.

Such an incredible band. I've been listening to Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell non-stop lately.

[RCVA]

what would their best album be?

[dropkickstreetpunk]

what would their best album be?
i like prison bound, but most people like their other ones.

[streetpunx87]

Prison bound is good it's just hard to pick one album to like .

[El_Shiznit]

what would their best album be?
It's hard for me to choose between "Mommy's Little Monster", the S/T, and "Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell". But every single album is good. :thumb:

[Sid]

I see you changed your name, dustin.

It's like I don't even know you anymore. And your avatar is distorted. You could even say it's socially distorted. GET IT? HAHAHAHA.

[El_Shiznit]

Call me sometime Sid. I miss you.

[Shtein]

Wow, back up, cut the homo crap, its scary. Or simply state it pleutonic.

[Fabz]

what would their best album be?

I would say White Light, White Heat, White Trash and L.A. Prison Bound

[mostlydeadonarrival]

I'm on "I Want What I Want" right now. My favorite so far would have to be "Like An Outlaw (For You)". The sound clips are cheesy as fuc'k, but it's still irresistably catchy. But they are all so good. I love the acoustic guitars on this CD.

**** good album. Bad Luck,Making Believe,When She Begins,King of Fools brillant.

[Flagjacket]

I would say White Light, White Heat, White Trash and L.A. Prison Bound

White Light White Heat White Trash is a ****ing good album.

[#1!]

It's hard for me to choose between "Mommy's Little Monster", the S/T, and "Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell". But every single album is good. :thumb:
i have mommy's little monster and somewhere between heaven and hell also, those are two amazing albums. That reminds me, i gotta go find them.......

[El_Shiznit]

I think White Light, White Heat, White Trash is their worst. Not bad at all, just not as good as their others in my opinion.

[RetiredAt21]

Not even close to being as good as the others.

[Faith No Doubt]

Anyone heard Mike Ness' solo stuff?

It's pretty darn good.

[skankinOstrich]

I'm listening to all their songs on my computer right now, and lots of their songs open with guitar feedback and an even 8th note rhythm on the hi-hat. It makes it hard to tell the difference between songs at the start. oh well, I still love them.

[Fabz]

I think White Light, White Heat, White Trash is their worst. Not bad at all, just not as good as their others in my opinion.

To me it is sincerely one of the best
But I have to say I love all their album from Mommy Little Monster to Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll

[SactoUnited]

Haven't seen you in a while.

[Fabz]

Yeap I know, I didn't post much in the last month.....

[alkalinesk8er]

They played with Tiger Army last year. Great show.

[Music Nerd]

Social Distortion are amazing. I love their earlier albums the most. Mike Ness is awesome. Their self titled album is my favorite.. I want to hear their cover of "Death and Glory" of the Clash but haven't got around to getting it. Someone should post it up.

[Flagjacket]

It's on the Lords Of Dogtown site, if that's still up.

[Music Nerd]

It's on the Lords Of Dogtown site, if that's still up.
Thanks, the site is still up, but the song isen't. At least in their Radio Player.

[Street_TraSSh]

I hate them, even though everyone loves them.

They're coming to Europe now so I'll see them! And I'm looking forward too!


Their songs are very emotional and very powerfull.They are legends.

There is nothing more to say!

Has anybody heard Mike Ness with his band covering some country classics
on albums Under Influences and Cheating at solitaire? What do you think? :confused:

[El_Shiznit]

I listened to Cheating At Solitaire a few times this past week. My friend let me borrow it. Some of the songs on there are really good, and others are kind of average.

[DryIce001]

Social D friggin' rocks. Mike Ness has probably some of the best lyrics around. And like that guy up there said, their songs are very emotional and powerful. Before listening to Social Distortion, if anybody had ever told me that Country/Southern Rock could be blended with Punk Rock so geniusly, I would have kicked them in their shins.

[pimpy the pirate]

my favorites are White Light, White Heat, White Trash and Mommy's little monster. Their other ones are good, just too southern.

[Lit]

i'm going to see them at Lowlands

[username77]

I have Prison Bound, and I want Mommy's little Monster. Very good band.

[Fabz]

Prison Bound is my favorite album by them and also one of my all time favorite

[dylweed]

my favorite is definately somewhere between heaven and hell. mike ness's songwriting amazes me, the way he can write a perfect country song and rock with it. social d has a genuine sound that no one can ever recreate.

[widzjnent]

their new album is awesome! So are their two dvd's.

First the documentary 'Another State of Mind' (the song mike ness wrote on the tour). It's about social distortion and youth brigade touring through america in the summer of '82. Minor Threat also has a part in the film. The film isn't all about the bands, it's also about the people that go to punk shows. They got interviewd and it's really cool done. It gives a good impression of punk back in the day.
Their is a commentary on the film by mike ness, youth brigade and the directors. A good extra.

Then you have their live dvd in orange county which is nice too.

[El_Shiznit]

I have both of those as well.

[streetpunx87]

My friend kristen got me the mommy's little monster vinyl for my birthday its really good i love vinyls better then cd's .

[streetpunx87]

damn i havent been on here awhile.

[Rise Me Up]

I see them Friday.

[DaveToopes]

I saw them two weeks ago with Bullets and Octane, and the Dead Sixties. It was pretty boring until Social D got on, and then it was awesome.

[Ghostfire3]

Damn, I'm so mad that I missed them when they came to Chicago.

[Fabz]

I hope they will come back in Montreal next year

[AndreTheHyena]

I love them. Mike Ness' solo stuff is likewise brilliant, though you gotta take it with a grain of salt.

And their new album is probably my favorite. I don't think any of their other records is as over-all well-rounded or well-written.

[Skidmark Steve]

they good live?? there comming around here soon with the Dead 60's

[DaveToopes]

they good live?? there comming around here soon with the Dead 60's

They're awesome live, You might want to eat or something during the Dead 60's. They might have been alright, but it just wasn't the right mood for a Social D show.

[blackflagfiend]

theyre playin in baltimore tomorrow nite but its $25 :(

[Fabz]

I would gladly pay 25$ to see Social D

[Maverick_Special]

I saw Social D about two years ago...it was probably the best or second best show I ever saw. Mike Ness was the best and it sounded great...I would totally shell out some booku bucks to see them again when they come.

[xxGumbyxx]

People keep saying that they're punk and rockabilly. IMO they are in no way rockabilly. More like punk and rock n roll with a little country influence.

Still a great band though.

[DaveToopes]

25 bucks was so worth it.

[Skidmark Steve]

a kid i was talking to said that the Social D show was cancelled because the dudes voice was messed up

[DaveToopes]

That sucks, a year ago I was gonna see 'em but the show was cancelled due to sickness or something.

[Skidmark Steve]

dam'n, Social D's bodies just suck
