Social Distortion - Story of My Life 

Thought that was such a nice message until i read the last part, sorry to hear that bro! Im sure you’ll meet again in time bud! Hope you had a good Christmas and have a happy new year my guy!💪

Thank you for your service !!

Thank you for your service and I’m sorry for your loss. Music is so powerful and this song is a testament to that.

I was in too deep with Dead Kennedy’s and Bad Brains and Black Flag DOA, etc... to appreciate this group in hs....was working out with buddy in Iraq and he played this song....I felt like I knew this song but was hearing it for the first time..... that was 2003 and i havent stopped blasting this song since

And sorry for the loss of your brother.... RIP Kevin...

Wowie legend

Are you okay?

Fuck what other people say! Live life how you want it not but what other says! Fuck society! Life is not too short! Life is long and fruitful! Life is too short if you are in drugs gangs violence

Wisdom dude. Currently I'm paying no mind though my internal voice says otherwise.

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings. I will not surrender. Bop til you drop. One Love.

Right that's called putting your heart into it!!!

I'm from the era where i get em both.. there is a time where it was easier to get the lyrics of the songs in print, so there came to be a focus on the feeling and raw expression of the anxt

Yeah, that's what punk rock/rock-a-billy is all about. You won't find instrumentals, but you will find lyrics with meaning that will cut through to your soul.

music isn't about your fancy proper pronunciations and your overproduced, intelligible vocal mixes, man

Cheers to that mate

We sure do, brother. Way she goes

This comment made me laugh way too hard in a time i didn't think i could laugh. Rock on 🤘

@@adamburnett202 hope you're doing good brother, or if you're not then hope there's some good in your future

Yeah. I'm so old now. 😢

aint that the fuckin truth :/

Nah. It’s still garbage.

True

50 and been punk rock since I was 14 in 1984. Won’t ever change either.

@@int0the3p1t32 Then why are you watching it?

Sorry for your loss. Your Dad had great taste in music. 🎶 🎵

Sorry to hear about ur dad.

Your dad had great taste in music. May he fly high! 🤞🏽

Sorry buddy

another zane checking in, my dad always loved this one too. lucky i still have him. much love dude

I lost my best friend 06, we did everything together. RIP brother!

C/O 95

Rest in peace, Court. I'll pull one out for you.

RIP Court! She has great taste!

I feel for the god giving eye brows.( They are from the gods) 💚

LOL. Wait 'til you're 50+ ...

TFW You're 34 and come back to this song.

@Atman Gotango 63 and I am laughing my ass off.

@Atman Gotango here i am at 27 hearing this song for the first time feeling like i'm 30 and the walls are closing in

There’s still time Live it Explore it Crush it Now cause tomorrow’s not guaranteed

God bless you and your wife. I hope you have a rocking time. You both deserve it.

@@ryanhosey3855 with the obvious age difference, I exposed my wife to punk rock. She grew to like Social Distortion for Mike’s passion for country while incorporating his own style and lyrics. For sure this is not bubble gum pop of Taylor Swift.

@stephenmras8519 you seem like a good dude, man. I'm so glad the music can build bridges. That's really beautiful. Keep it rocking. Keep it punk. My best to you and yours.

Interestingly, my life momentarily crossed paths with Mike’s in those early days. After school one day, I went with a friend to “the dark hole”. He was rhythm guitarist with the Adolescents. I was a good student and quickly realized this was probably not a crowd I would hang with. I ended up becoming a banker, fat and rich, as Mike would say. All that said, Mike has mellowed with age, as have all of us. Even his music has mellowed and it has become much more melodic. I think that is why Social Distortion enjoys a much broader appeal than pure hard core punk rock.

charles rob you have no idea.... Used to listen to this record while cooking dinner with the woman that I KNEW I was gonna spend the rest of life with.... After seven years she walked away....

Feel that shit in my soul

And why they have to end :(

that game is fuckin dead, dude

Guitar Hero brought me here.. 🎸

@@el6tomejorcritico666 I'm sure that it's still more alive than you!

​@@el6tomejorcritico666 Nah

Yes it was. And even farther back it was even greater. I am gonna be 50 in few months & I remember skateboarding around downtown Omaha, Nebraska in the Old Market area & being chased out of places we were just trying shred some tailbone I still have my board.. a Powell Peralta R.I.P w/ the skeleton bursting its way out of the middle. I can't even begin to count how many tailbones I went through. Growing up in the 70's & 80's were great. I especially loved the 70's!! They had ALL the best stuff back then: The best music, the best movies, the best comic books, the best candy, the best toys, the best cars, the best & hottest movie babes(Farrah Fawcett, Jacklyn Smith, Bo Derek just to name a few), the best video games & arcades, the best board games... etc. Then the 80's happened. Here's my description of the 80's: School, job, cliques, conform, malls, bubblegum , jean jackets, spend, party, coke(boththe liquid & powder), one-hit wonders, middle-class bourgeoisie exploited worker-class pawns.. Good thing the 90's were a hell of a lot better. But here's the truth: when the 80's were happing, we were all caught up in it, not knowing exactly wtf we were doing. Then in the 90's , we looked back at the 80's and thought wtf were we doing? Those clothes? Those hair styles? That music we listened to?(Well not me, I listened to Punk Rock) While everyone around me were jumping on the bandwagon, I was avoiding it like it was the plague. Still do. I wanted to do my own thing, and still do. I encourage every one of you who reads this: do your own thing. Don't ever let someone else decide what you should do. Or tell you what is best for you. Figure it out yourself. You'll be a better person for it & respect yourself a little more in the long run. I leave you with this: The only person responsible for where you are today in your life... is you. Take care of you. It's no one else's responsibility. Think for yourself & make your own mind up, and never be afraid of acquiring the best of something. You'll always be happy with it. And you deserve it. Your happiness is not a destination or a place to arrive at in your life. Happiness, my friends.. is a "Manner of Traveling". I'm out. Late ~ This announcement has been brought to you by big d's Channel of Outspoken Knowledge ! !

Life was perfection back then. My biggest problem was how I was going to have sex with bandages wrapped from my wrists to my shoulders due to skinned up elbows and arms from eating shit street skating.

raises fist in agreement

Kevin Manders The future is now old man

@@Patrick-Not-Star I mean...This is true unless you're a fan of real music. In that case, there is no future, simply the past.

It's crazy how you can listen to it at various points in life and it hits you differently everytime

SOOO much from the 90's does. bout to be 40 myself... god... and we didn't get cable til i was like 10 or 12. and then got dial up internet when we moved into my step dad's house. but i always locked myself in my uncle's room, even though he never lived in that house, had all his stuff. his old record/8 track/cassette player, and all his old albums. brian setzer, the police, zeppelin... and bon scott era ac/dc. and those have always been a big part. but when i found my own music, i didn't get it at the time, but after i got older i started actually understanding it and gained an even deeper appreciation. like back then, i just liked it cause it sounded good, or it sounded angry and dark. cause i was one pissed off little kid. well, not so little after about 9. i was 260+ and 5'11" when i was 12, outweighed my dad when i was 9 or 10 and only about an inch shorter if that, people always see him for the first time and i get a weird look, like you're the mail man's kid... never would've made it without all the great music when i needed to laugh cry or tear something to shreds.

Middle school me listening to this song and thinking deeply as I look to the other side of the backyard reminiscing about all the good times I had there but it's been a few weeks already and things just aren't the same. Adulthood felt like it took so long to reach and now childhood felt like it went by too fast. Makes me think of another song called Otterpops in the Icebox

lol 35

I don't mean to be a smartass but what does Mike ness have to do with this song?

Other than he’s the singer? Not sure what you mean.

Same here. Love this.

Me too

Cowpunk xD

Punk... pffft. 🤣🤣 Chaos UK is punk

Cowpunk *

I was raised on Social D and punk rock and here I am at 29

33 and I wanna go KMS for clicking on this video...soml

22 My guy, stay young while you can.

@@bentoboxtsu ive been old for longer than i was young. I was old when i was 15

i'm 14, but i heard that so much in 2009 (sorry my english is bad)

this song came out in 1990. How old are you?

Glad to see you here, if you’re enjoying this, you’re not too old for it! Keep rocking!

It's just straight up 50's rockabilly with GenX honesty

that doesn't make any less enjoyable.

Im 67 and "still listening".....you're spot on........ it's the story of alot of people's lives.

@ooOmegAaa Or the entry level jobs asking for a bachelor's degree that don't pay enough to pay off a student loan. I once witnessed a Walmart manager directing at least 8 workers in chanting and clapping like they did in evangelical Christian school, so I knew the company wasn't on an even footing. It wasn't a surprise when I found that Walmart was so fucking lazy that employees had to subsidize the company by going to a bulletin board to seek out welfare programs. Walmart paid shit per hour and expected employees to spend break time searching their bulletin board for local subsidies. Maybe the heirs of a wealthy person can literally drag the deceased from Heaven to Hell just because they left money and power to children that weren't taught. Rest wherever Sam Walton, but your kids didn't carry on what your businesses were built on. I don't think $15 an hour is enough to get you out.

Loved this way 16 back in '94.....and listening to this now sounds so bittersweet and is really hittin me hard. Everything's all changed, as well as there is next to no one from my old high school days. Most every single Brother from back in the day are all dead now. This song really hits me hard these days. This is The Story of my Life.

it's the story of many lives out there... a lot of people go through that phase... life gets dull and then you start to reminisce. but we have to remember to go out of our way to do the things we like as well as those we gotta do.

THIS Saturday Phlash !! , RIGHT HERE IN Seattle , Washington !! CAN'T WAIT !! 😆 😉 👍 👌 ✌ 👊 🎸 🔊 🎤 🎶 🎼

Yes i agree lucky enough to have seen them in concert ! Seen the Clash have to say Social D .would give them a run for their money!! Great band no bullshit full on !!

U said it 👍🫣

So true

Not true

Real

Two words: Titus Andronicus

hope i get there, 37 now

​@@NoTraicionesYOu will. Please?

Mike Ness is the real deal.

@@dspf68 abso fuckin lutly ! He said when he was 10 years old he knew he was gonna be a rock star. Unfortunately he needed to go thru terrible fuckin heroin addiction to write real songs

Like this. Im so glad he was able to get clean.

Same here!

Other side of the coin for me. I liked them since high school and finally saw them live much later. Mike Ness really put me off and made me not like the band. I still listen to this song though because I really relate

We are all taught to conform. Live your dream.

Damn....so very true.

@@goffdroid❤

Thank you for this comment.

No problem man xD

lol from 90s to 08 lol

You are not old, just more musically experienced.

Fuck it. I saw all the cool bands.

wtf is gh3

Don’t forget rockabilly!!!

I don't know that I'd call this punk.

Then you are too young to remember when it came out :)

Dubz42o this album was released three years before I was born. I have no idea what that one guy’s talking about.

@Written In Red Dreams Why tho?

That’s how I know this song as well.

I can't believe that they were on guitar hero

I think that's what guitar hero was meant to do keep these old rock songs relevant and known.

I was looking for the Guitar Hero comment, I thought I was alone here 😅

Grande, maquina

Gracias por la letra.

Aí sim em, meu camarada!

Always here

That's not a bad thing. Good for you, man.

Thats not a bad thing , sounds like you like good music! ENJOY!

TheDrummingKangaroo With a soy latte in hand?

not such a nice guy. He just jumped on a fan and punched him in the face a bunch of times while his fans held the guy down. Mike Ness is really nice.... as long as you aren't a Trump supporter.

@@MicahMicahel don't get me wrong I think mike was in the wrong but it wasn't because he was a trump supporter its because he was flipping him off like I said mike should have not done that though

​@@johnacuna3221 I can't believe almost 60 year old Mike Ness attacks people that offend him. Ness was promoting leftist politics. Barbara SAteisand does the same thing. Some people believe a show should not be political. Did Mike Ness always give political lectures? If so, the guy is wrong. I would expect Jello Biafra to maybe give a leftist speech, for instance. He could've said, "hey there sticking your finger up. I hear you. I think you are wrong. Who here agrees with me?" The fans would cheer and the guy would feel out of place. Instead he reacts. Over 800 people have been assaulted for wearing MAGA hats. I'm not even right wing but I see the modern left as sociopathic. this is full on Trump derangement syndrome. He probably believes all the fake news. In reality Obama deported more people an Trump. Trump is to the left of George W. Bush. He's to the left of Clinton. The Global media hate Trump because he's a U.S. nationalist. People should cool down. I have to constantly forgive all these musicians and media figures with Trump derangement syndrome. Actors especially. They put themselves into elite culture and agree with everything they say. I have to forgive them because I would have to stop watching movies or music. Rich performers are so vapid when they talk politics.

@@MicahMicahel i do see what your saying I am a right wing but even i know if I go to a punk concert leftists statements are made so i keep my mouth shut because I know most punks are liberals but I do agree mike was wrong for what he did

Hahaha thats a good one dude

Cuntry

Hehe

Gg allin- carnival of excess

I believe the genre is called "Cowpunk" Everclear falls into this category, but just barely.

This IS the story of my life!!! Wow!

☝️ me, 🇮🇩 in indonesia

Almost Daily since i am going through a Divorce

Always

Yep

The best rock songs I have discovered were played at the end of movies. Soundtracks done right.

Dude. Same. Born in 84, grad 2002. Cheers bro. Stuff is gold man

They did, in the opening credits of Orange County! It came out in 2002, just before I turned 17 and out of all the teen movies of that golden era, that’s the one I really related to and still go back to 20 years later. One of the best ensemble casts EVER, by the way.

1rst verse literally me ,wasted my time dreamin when i could just act and have that crush with me atleast while school lasted ,time flied so fast i missed my chance

Thanks so much for the full lyrics. I'm trying to learn to sing this song. Hopefully I can get my voice low enough!

I'm 47, and I get it.

Me too! I been loving some Social D since 16.....'93. 45 now and these seriously my fav songs of all time! Also so Bittersweet watching this and thinking about my life, same as you. We sure been through our share of Heaven and Hell my Brother

my dad went to one of their concerts when i was probably 6 or 7 and ever since then it was in his playlist then in mine

Black sabbath ❤

@@mathmartiins You know it

I met the lead singer at an MMA gym. Dude is super down to earth, I honestly never knew who he was untill someone else pointed it out. Im sure he'd think it was rad as fuck that your dad shared his music with you

thanks Dad, love all, big

Ufa, finalmente alguém comentando sobre o Guitar Hero, uma brasileira ainda! Kkkkkkkkkkkkk

i see what you did there with the 3

Why though? There is no dishonor in knowing groups and songs through GH games. I got into Metallica because Fuel was in the intro of a Hot Wheels PSX game

GUITAR HERO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tenes menos de 20 años

Stay classy

+kaiser soze La Habra is quite the opposite from skin heads lol majority of people have Spanish heritage, but I do know they liked punk a lot back then

good times before everything went woke in Los Angeles 😡😡

You don't know loud until you see Motorhead playing with full arena gear in a 500 seat club. When I walked out, it took me 2hours to find my car.

His looks better.

I wish mine would stay as nice as his does!

OMG his eyelashes tho!

Bette Davis Eyes , but on a man ? I gotta listen to that song now .

That and hair spray are two big things I miss from the 80's

That's a wonderful attitude :) Unfortunately human nature doesn't work that way, but your naivety is endearing :)

@@devilsoffspring5519 so what's the true human nature then? Since you seem to be enlightened calling others naive

Love, brother.

Cassette...

You and me both ✌️

yep, me too....still love em though!!!!

I have it on tape, and it drags now from all the listening to it back in the 90’s

@@WheelSnipeParty81 Yep! LOL! Cassette!

Damn near everything they have done so far is pretty great. Hope you enjoy!
