Danny McGough!!!!!

My buddy And I Have Been Talking About This For Some Time Now So I Think It's Time To Bring This Up. Danny McGough, What Else Can I Say, This Dude Is Fuckin' Awsome. It's Time He Becomes An Offical Member Of Social Distortion!!! Come On The Guy Is Treated Like A Fuckin Roadie Or Something. I Love Social D (They Are My Favorite Band), But They Would Not Be The Social D That They Are Today Without Danny. Danny Needs Some Credit For The Things He Does. Does Anybody Agree With Me On This? I Think He Is A Made Man And Should Be Part Of The Social Distortion Mafia. I Fuckin Love You Danny And Hopefully You Will Get The Credit You Deserve. I Mean On The Next Social D Album He Needs To Be Credited As Part Of The Band And Not Some Guest Who Plays B3. There Is 5 Members Of Social D.

i agree

Don't get me wrong...but all i know of Danny Mcgough is that he plays the B3 for social distortion, and i really dig the spin that he has put on Prison bound, and some of the other "redone" tunes.

But what else has he provided or brought to the table that should make me want to give him major credit.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but i'm also not going to agree with you because you "said So"..

I'm uninformed on Danny so explain what he's done for the band, and what he's brought to the table that suggests he Is more than a roadie who also happens to play the B3.

I don't know. I think all the guys fill in well at their respective position, but I think Jonny has really filled the toughest role and deserves the most credit simply because of the emotion of losing a friend, and sticking with his style, yet incorporating dennis' style to keep it social d, and not cad tramps/us bombs..etc.. I think he's the most underappreciated. mike obviously is the band as far as songwriting/singing.

The rest are cashing in due to the hard work they put in before social D, and are now just livin the dream.....I think thats reward enough. It would be for me.

ok, well in my opinion he contributes so much to the band musically that his contribution live has created an entirely new sound and feel of the music... which i love. plus the guy played with tom waits previous to joining social d, and anyone who has even been near tom waits is pretty rad in my book.

Although I am biased all anyone would have to do is see them live or just listen to footprints on my ceiling to hear how he has added to the social d sound

Thanks Terk... I'm the "friend" that Terk was reffering too about Danny McGough being an official member of Social Distortion. And all I got to say is that Social Distortion would not be the same now without him. He has added so much to their sound now the band realizes that they can no long go back to before without him. The bands live shows have improved to 100% since he joined. BTW, Raptorchild - you new school little fuck - if you cannot see what Danny has brought to this band then you need a lesson in rock and roll music. If Chuck Berry has a piano/organ player than Social Fuckin' Distortion can do whatever they want!!!!!

I agree he should be apart of the band,he brings so much to the table,but im sure mike leaves that up to him if he wants in or not,i mean the man played with Tom Waits witch means he can play with anyone he wants.and he played in a shitload of other bands.

having spoken with J2B, i can assure you that he is also helping with the songwriting credits. it also says so on the SLRNR albums, but he told me a few weeks ago that he's working on new material and re-working older stuff for the next record.

danny mcgough is a great guy and a lot of fun. he always goes out to meet with fans after the show and is appreciative of what he's earned. he's an incredible musician, and he's added more than just a prison bound intro. he helps out with the acoustic stuff by backing up on his accordian (which he bought at a thrift store for those of you who might be interested). he can play a wide variety of instruments and can create a dynamic sound that otherwise would not be reached were he not a part of the band.

"He has added so much to their sound now the band realizes that they can no long go back to before without him."

Glenn76, isn't that pretty arrogant to presume that you know what the band "realizes" and then turn around and call somebody names because they disagree and are willing to debate you.

This is just silly! Nice to have a Danny McGough appreciation thread, he is a great musician, but what does it matter if he is "in the band"? Everyone at this point brings a solid musical background and much talent to the group, and they all have other projects as well. Maybe Danny doesn't want to be "in the band". He most likely gets other offers and has musical interests outside of Social D. Sure make him a band member if it means he gets paid more, but that's none of our business. These are grown men. It's not like the "band members" have a secret handshake or a clubhouse that Danny isn't invited to. The current line up is great, but nothing lasts forever. I don't think being called a band member would change anything. It's just semantics. What's important is that we appreciate his contribution to the band, I definately do.
