Johnny Cash had a lot of respect for punk. His music has a lot in common with what punk stands for. He was probably very flattered that Social D covered his (and to be more precise June Carter Cash's) song. A buddy of mine was lucky enough to run into Cash at a recording studio in Nashville. Johnny sat in with him for a few songs on his demo and talked with him for an hour about music in general. The man respected any type of music that was about expression.
@bigcynyc1972 Usually when a band covers another artist's work... it's made as a tribute. For example Metallica has covered a lot of punk. Mostly the Misfits, but their late bassist they lost years ago was a die hard Misfits fan that would never go on stage without his fiend skull shirt. In this case with Social Distortion, I say they're paying their dues to whocould be considering as the first punk. =P
@TheNewMusicNetwork Well, he's right. Social Distortion went their own way after the first album (which is great, by the way) and that in itself is more punk than those who limit themselves puristically and narrow-mindedly to three chords and standard drum rhythms. Daring to shun others and be oneself is punk, and it is in that context punk was originally used - bands that stood out at their time. The Stooges, MC5, The Deviants, The Velvet Underground.
Please tell me this is a live vid or something because if so I'm deffinately buying it. Most of the songs from this concert are better than the originals. IMO atleast.......
Yea, I don't know what the cause may have been, but he wasn't even with his own par. Maybe just a temporary thing. Maybe the years catching up with him
@SuperPauliewalnuts Green Day had 2 independent records before signing with a label (and thus proving that they weren't braindead enough to throw their career away for a title). But Social D must've had way more independent records because they didn't sell out right? Oh wait...
I absolutely love Social D and they've done some some pretty great punk shit back in the day. I've seen them live many times for more than 20 years and I can honestly say that this was most def not their best performance. Mike's vocals are way off and, although he can normally pull off some great makeup, Mike looks a bit like a drag queen in this vid.
@ResidualMoneyClub hes wearing make up of course i would real men dont wear make up great cover dont get me wrong thats why i watched it just dont get the whole make up garbage youre a dude
ive always loved social d.....but damn i wish he would quit arching his eyebrows like a woman and quit wearing makeup....i dont care if he shows his age just dont be fake.his music is real he should be real too.--other than that i love social d,always have always will.
Nothing against Social Distortion. I don't mind them at all. I'm just sick of bands that cover other peoples music..Thats what cover bands are for. It's like getting Picasso to paint some replica of some paint by numbers pc. When you have the opportunity to create and be an original artist....Why replicate? Just seems LAZY to me.
Are you kidding? This is crap. You can't hack on bands like Metallica and green day....They butchered this song. Don't fk with johnny C. You will never do it justice. I could ,and you could do this to any song....Just takes no talent to do what these guys did to this song. And if ya dare me...I will prove it!!

Social D still ROCKS!!!! They have been around a long time, my friends!

Every band or musician who plays with an edge pays homage to the great Mr. Cash. This kicked ass.
