17, our friend Telling Them introduced me to Social D with Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell.

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">Are you really 17? If so, I'd have to say it impresses me and makes me glad that kids of your age (at least some anyway) are as informed, intelligent and aware as yourself (even though we have polar opposite view points). I'm only 21 but I know when I wasn't able to vote, I didn't follow politics that closely. I applaud you and hope there are more your age like you.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="verdana, arial">Yes, it's true, but don't pull any punches...

Thanks for the compliments.

I'm 25 and have been listening to SxDx for like 7 years (when Live at the Roxy came out). Social D was one of those bands that just completely eluded my radar until that album came out. I loved punk, I grew up on country, so you'd think I would have heard of Social D. Not the case.

Check this out:

I actually heard Social D for the first time at a listening station in the WOW (Tower Records) store in Long Beach. How stupid is that? Anyway, I was like, "wow, I have heard these dudes are good, I'll check it out." They have been my favorite band since. I have seen them live 35+ times and Mike Ness solo twice. The new album fucking rules.

I'm a baby compared to alot of you here! I'm 24 turnig 25 in February and I have been listening to Social D since I was 18. I started getting into the whole punk rock thing when I was 16 and living in Oz I'm sure alot of people have heard of Social D but not many people listen to em so I was introduced to the music via NoFX, Bad Religion Rancide and other Fat Wreck/Epitaph bands. Anyway...I was in the middle of a Bad Brains/Ramones/Circle Jerks kinda phase and a guy I worked with said "try listening to a band called Social Distortion...I guarantee you will love it". He wasn't wrong and I bought "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell" soon after and was hooked immediately

I live in West Haven near Ogden. Came to Utah in 83 right after High School (parents divorced). My friend Scott moved up here with me and we were 2 of 3 punk rockers in Ogden. Even worse I lived in Ogden Valley at the time so we were 2 of 2 punk rockers in the valley.


Used to get challenged just walking down the street wearing a choke chain collar and having bleached hair, shit now I go to baseball games and see 8 year olds with Green Mohawks that their Morman parents gave them.

I see the punk rock kids today and figure they probably think I am some old guy old enough to be their dad. Pretty damn funny. At least the hair is still bleached (and I have it LOL)

Lots of interesting replies, at least I am not the oldest one here

Looking forward to the SLC show

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">i too look forward to the slc show
i'm leaving today to go to new mexico to catch that show and celebrate my anniversary(btw my wife is a new fan, my fault, and sxdx is now her fav along w/ solo material)

I am 34 and started listening to SD in 1983 or 1984. Since I grew up in Indianapolis, I did not get a chance to see them until 1988 at Bogarts in Cincinnati. They played with the Flat Duo Jets, another great band if you can find any of their material.

27, I started listening to MLM and ST in highschool (1991). I hadn't listened to them in a long time and then about a year and a half ago my co-worker brought in somewhere between heaven and hell. I have been listening to them almost constantly since then.

I'll be 31 in a couple months...started listening to SXDX in the late eighties...and havn't stopped since. Unfortunately I've only seen them like 4 times and saw Mike's solo show at a small club in Virginia Beach.

Definately my favorite band......
