Social Distortion - "Machine Gun Blues" 

No me too. I listen to this on the bike ride to school and that part has me going fast the whole time

Not dead. Even though I should be in 95.

TRUTHAT

классный ролик!!!

Yes!!!

Here!

🤘🤘🤘

👋🏻

One of those folk punk weirdo’s

Good call....my dad was a gun dealer so it's cool to see someone else appreciate weaponry instead of bangin a 9 mil & thinking you're a "gangster" LOL The 1920's-50's REAL gangsters lived

Only a rifleman would notice that. Glad to know there are a few of us around.

Impressive reply

Wow! What an eye for detail. Impressive that this much thought went into making this video.

You would be right, my brother.

You are so fortunate. I've seen Social D but never the Ramones. Kudos to you, sir

I've seen both bands a grip of times they fn rock

co headljner

I also saw that tour, line up and it was my B day too boot. Berkeley Calif, Greek Theatre. opening was 'Overwhelming Colorfast', a local Antioch, Calif band. It was a Spectacular night. Fall weather 10-10-9?

Him and John Fogerty American Icons

Amen

guitarworld.com ranks him 13th most badass guitarist of all time! Coincidental that he was No. 13!?!?

Wes Williams Well said good sir

I never had a bucket list but I finally got to see Mike and the gang last year it’s probably the last concert I’ll ever see but I’ll die happy knowing that

+Mike Anderson I agree. This is one of the best videos ever. It's been like 5 years, and I still love watching it from time to time.

+Mike Anderson . I also like the suble cues in the plot. This was a heist that went sour. You can grasp from the newspaper headline that they'd done prior robberies, but not a mass killing. "Sick Boy" is a grim and mean dude, he never sheds a tear, yet he's traumatized by flashbacks about the murders when he enters the barn at 4:21. Like in animation, where every cell matters - every camera shot in this video contributed to the story or the characters.

Mike Anderson Rather thank sluts dressed half naked dancing in front of the camera for views

Are you joking? A gang robs a bank and then gets shot by the cops later. Not exactly sure what constitutes a short film, but it needs more of a story than that...right?

So to get in the mood of my story focusing on a Punk Girl in 2008 LA, I started listening to some punk again and this is my first time seeing the video and the movie like idea caught me off guard

Are you joking? A gang robs a bank and then gets shot by the cops later. Not sure what constitutes a short film, but sorry - not today.

@@cjkoca1 It's a concise story with a cinematic feel to it. I don't see why it wouldn't be likened to a short film.

@@cjkoca1 Not sorry. Today.

Slevin Reviews My friend! The song starts, "I'm a gangtser, 1934....."

Yeah , It's Real Close Now !

2020

yep. here we are.

Welcome to the future my friend, how have you changed throughout the 6 years?\

indeed

💯 percent

Well said, my friend. MTV is a joke.

Nowadays it's just pregnant 15 year olds being told that it's fine and normal.

Seriously? Beat It by Michael Jackson destroys this! ...I am laughing at that, too. SocialD destroyed it with this vid. we need a Music channel that shows videos...hmmm...I shall call it MTV, circa 1982.

+Scott Struble Michael Jackson was a pedophile. Fuck off.

Mike Johnston , read what I wrote again. I said this vid destroyed Beat It. Reading Compresion...get some.

you mean back when there was still music on mtv

DivineDawn sort of, at least mtv was the shit back then, but I've never seen this music video on mtv, talkin' about bad luck eh Lol

You're not alone :D

Holy shit! It's Bodil!

BODILL FORTY!!! BODILLL FOORTYYY!!

***** bodil

***** The guy who wrote the comment

Sorry to hear that. R.I.P your friend

God bless

thats really cool the music really spoke to you and in turn it made you learn

thyringmaster thank you! Im still learning and never get bored. wish they come to Japan someday...

Mike Ness's lyrics and music are super pretty basic. English is not my native language either , but I speak fluidly. I would suggest learning other lyrics from other bands, for ex. listen to NoFX's Punk In Drublic, awesome lyrics that'll make you think and learn words, and shit. Or for that matter try anything from Bad REeligion. haha. Not to down SD, one of my favorite bands, just my 2 cents.

thebarrochannel I like NOFX too! Fat Mike has been making great songs for yrs. I also like bad religion for a long time but their lyrics are bit too difficult for me sometime... definitely need a dictionary.lol thanks for your suggestions my friend!!

AK SNA thats the point! get that dictionary out.

Going to see them in October 4 2024 🤘😎🤘

Mas eles são muito punks sim, apesar disso.

@@Hectorhc13 they have their own style of punk called greaser punk ... it's definitely no crustpunk, hardcorepunk or d-beat.

🎉 thats right.great line

Still? It is only 12 years old, but yes!

+Andrea Newsome Sorry to hear that it is a great song

hell yea he would of loved this vid

+Francisco Ferrel hell yeh he was that was his favorite band

That's how I'm feeling now, my life isn't going well but I'm trying to fix it...Mike's music and lyrics are helping me a lot. I'm also learning guitar, it's like therapy for me. I'm glad to hear you are doing better now.

Low self opinion by Henry Rollins got me.

@@wannabecarguy rollins all you need is 2 words to be a success YES and OK. epic and true.

Daniel Medina Sex, Love & Rock N Roll is my no.1 SD Album, but i agree wholeheartedly. The thing i love about these guys is their constant maturity. They are growing *With the fans* instead of sticking to the formula. Respect.

That's because most people think punk, they think mohawks and clothes pins, Social D you think Rat Rods and Bettie Page.

It’s great rock n roll

@@roguelead72 Which WAS Punk Rock before Punk Rock existed. Mad Respect to Social D.

Ironically Sex Love and Rock N Roll is my favorite album

Sounds like it was an amazing day for sure! 🤘❤️🤘

First time hearing it, I'm here because of gangster blues by mattafix.

Lol

Me, probably!

I love you.

I will!

+Evolutionizer "I can't enjoy it without a proper label!!!" sigh. Agreed.

+Evolutionizer . I get sick and tired of the hundreds of genres and sub-genres. It's all rock n roll to me.

+C. Parks lol so for you anarcho-punk is just punk aaa?=)))dafuq=)))))))))

+C. Parks punk like many other genre is much better to know subgenres if you wanna get into some bands from horror-punk or other kind of subgenres

+Evolutionizer its a happy californian punk style

still

beyond brilliant --- any city, any country, any planet !!!

You played SD at your wedding ceremony? Wow. You got my respect...

Him and John Fogerty are American Icons and im an Eastern Canadian LoL

Agreed! That 1903 Springfield is one hell of a rifle too.

hell fuckin ya. M1903a3 and a4 Springfield rifles rock-fat-ass-hard.o do M1garands

next to you know...the 1911's shooting none stop when they only hold 9 a pop...

dragoncustomcycles They actually hold 7 in a magazine and one in the chamber. So it's 7 a pop.

Joseph Damiano Do you even fucking math, 7 in the mag, one in the chamber, that'd be 8. But you're wrong in that regard anyways, it's 8 in the mag, one in the chamber, 9 rounds total.

+Sigh Naps . Definately - so many little details in this fit together, right down to the gunsmoke hanging in the room at 3:38. The direction and camera angles were excellent, plus filming this at Union Station really helped set the 30s L.A. ambiance. The video not only tells a story but shows some complexity in Ness's character and the shoeshine boy. As horrible as the crime scene was, the boy wouldn't be a witness - so we get to wonder why. Fear of retribution by the gangsters? Or maybe some sense that Ness's character wasn't 100% rotten, since the boy saw the other gangsters open fire on the customers and employees which began the mayhem...further complicated by seeing Ness duel with the soldier, and then sparing the man's wife, who walked in at the end. Dunno if Ness ever had any acting offers - but he was a badass gangster in this video! His own character is interesting too. You can sense at 3:11 he didn't want this heist to get so far out of control, and he's haunted by it later in the barn scene. Even studying the confrontation with the soldier, Ness waited for him to shoot first, and had tried to warn him off with that "head shake". And to top it off, I'd say that the other band members pulled their weight too, during their own cutaway scenes. They looked their parts and helped carry the story.

Social distortion are to talented and sincere for mtv
