Social Distortion - Ball and Chain

Proposed to my first wife while this was playing. Four kids and a great life. She died unexpectedly in late 2014.

LONG LIVE PUNK ROCK!!!

One of FULLERTON CALIS FINEST CITIZENS. NOT TO MENTION TALENTED. MR. NESS WE LOVE YOU!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It always seemed like Mike was just bearing his soul… The fact he was singing was kinda secondary.

I was there.

My ex used to call the bar where his wife was and have them play this song. Lmao 😂 😂

The National Anthem of Alcoholics and addicts

❤😌🚬🥃💯🤘

Great song for quitting booze , I’m a cowboy yes that’s still a job in 2024 and every day when I saddle up I play this to remind me of all the bad choices that got me here

learned so much about guitar from you.

mike your a god in my world.

Reminds me of The Clash. 🙂

Nice vest Mike 😂

Social justice distortion

Yay, go lynn massachusetts!

Gets to the heart of things…🥳👍🎶

It's sure tough to be a man. Or maybe i'm just weak. I've lost everything in less than 3 years. Just thinking about ended my life. I'll relieved somehow

Loved hearing this almost nightly at Chichos in VA beach in the early 90's.

1990

A purely awesome song that's in my collection of best songs ever! 🙂

Drinking, Smoking, drugs, doing those things you know you shouldn't do, but do them anyway, to rebel, think its cool...whatever..you know where it gets you? It GETS YOU DEAD..now you get it..its your life. Treat it with respect.

Again keeping me from offing myself

Gave me hope for my brother Jeremy who died last year! So I don’t know if I can do anything different but listen to his old music. It’s like talking to a part of him

We don't have Dennis but we still have John Maurer!

I'm sending this to a friend who just went out. This song got me through the rough as gravel years of my sobriety. I hope it helps his heart.

This song just kicks serious ass !!

Can't keep a good punk band down, unless it's like four flats of fats. Because they can't kill punk rock and I know you will kick it ass just like in the 90s because that's the story of or lives MJ sends love from new Mexico that is Austin's MJ

The song I have picked for my funeral. This dong has gotten me through some tough times.

I used to play this song in the car and sing along every time my then husband (now ex) was a jerk, which was pretty much all the time. He thought I was just kidding. Long story short, he underestimated me. I love this song.

One day at a time

Got me through prison

i know the words by heart i listen to it mainly after drinking

Times are hard getting harder

First time I have heard this band! Man, I have missed out!

If Johnny Cash was born 20 years later.

This song resonates n hits so deep brings back all the memories when i aas about 15 yrs old skating having a good times w friend's

yupp going in for 30 years with social distortion. been a crazy ride. im 43 now.

Love this ❤

I love this song he speaks from the heart

Such a handsome band.

These lyrics sound like GG Allin, only a lot tamer.

I'm sick and I'm tired and I can't take anymore pain 🎶🎶

This band deserves the most love on the planet!!!

Goin to lose
And destined to fail

Thanks, My Name Is Earl!

I sit and I drink
In my broken down Chevrolet
I’m singing to myself
There’s got to be another way?

I’m a Swedish Death Metal guy ,but Mike Ness and Social Distortion has been a pleasure of mine since the 80’s. Could not ever explain my love for this music.

I saw them several times n Mike Ness always looked like death ...😮
