Six albums in thirty years! That's the entire Social D. Legacy, singles compilations, greatest hits collections and live albums aside, six short records. It leaves the field open for bootlegs of live shows, acoustic takes, radio edits, demos and b-sides. This collection, laced with ferocious live tracks, is one of many bootlegs but if you want any more I'm gonna have to insist on some motherfuckin' comments as proof of your sincerity.
This is the version of Social D. that I saw live a few years ago with Charlie Quintana (who played with the Plugz and Bob Dylan) behind the kit.
More Girls, More Cars and Even Louder Guitars link is in the comments.
Support the damn band!

IT WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE SOCIAL D. WORK

I want more, and thank you for what you have already given.
ReplyDeleteBah! Social Distortion's s/t CD was one of the first "punk" CD's I remember (...mainly because the case was always sliding around under the seats of my buddy's car...) as a snotty youth in the early '90's. Needless to say, I didn't like. Ten years later, I listened to it again, and still found it tepid.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the appeal of Social D, aside from the Cash and Stones covers?
Social D's appeal for me was their first album Mommy's Little Monsters, which kicked ass in 1983, and still does. By the time Mike Ness had matured into a honky tonk blues rocker I was finally old enough to appreciate it. But, still their first was their best.
ReplyDeleteSocial D is still one of the best bands on the planet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeffen! I like their stuff for it's toughened-up Americana appeal and the occasional song of substance, though to be fair to biopunk their range is a bit limited and they're a bit too tame to really be called "punk". I worked in a Tower Records when Heaven and Hell came out and Ness and a bandmate came to the store for what was called a "walk-through" -- literally, these two "punk rockers" pulling up in a limo, strolling through the aisles, asking me if I was "working hard?" Talk about social distortion.

Bio
Hey, glad to have you back man even in such a Scrooge-ish way. I do love their Cash cover, the Stones covers (there's at least two) are okay but mostly I just love the voice - but I suppose I already tried and failed to sell it on that angle.

Yup MLM is hard to knock-down but S/T really came as a shock to me with how much their song-writing had developed.

Amen, Sir. And maybe you'll join me in the hopes that I can some day hear "Ball and Chain" in a church - that song reminds me of those long-out-of-style country-gospel songs of the mid-20th century.

Ouch that 'walk-through' sounds even lamer than the name implies. Still to me S.D. are a punk band no matter what, a touch unorthodox perhaps but an orthodox punk really is an oxymoron.
I saw Social D on the WL, WH, White Trash tour. I went with three friends. The group's wild show brought out the worst in my collegues: two got into fights and the other one got busted for pissing on the street. Rock & Roll! (Me: I prefer "...Heaven and Hell") Thanks for the post(s).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Social D and a great blog!!

ReplyDeleteYeah I'd take "Heaven and Hell" any day over "WL, WH...", the latter seems to cover up the country-folk side of things and veers closer to Hard Rock.

You're most welcome.
