Music... I Listened to Some


OC rock at its finest.


I rolled into El Matador mid-week for an artery-clogging lunch, and those dirtbags were infesting a booth yukking it up.

Swilling a beer at Balboa Saloon, Social D comes on the juke...I tell the bartender their days of opening shows are over. This cat at the bar gives us a nod and leaves. That was Dennis (of Social D) batender says. RIP, rock and roll brother.

LOVE me some Social D. Back in my music business days I managed the producer that did a couple of their more recent records. I went down to the studio when they were mixing the Greatest Hits record (they actually re-recorded all those songs, though they didn't advertise it as such) and got to spend some time listening down with just my client and Mike Neff in the room. He was a genuinely nice guy, and while I'm way too jaded to typically care about any "celebrity", I was honored to be in his presence.

I love hearing these stories. Heh, Ness...my old boss (a band guy himself) was bike riding in his SA hood on garage sale weekend and came by Mike's house, chatting him up. "yea, I'm in this band, Social Distortion..." seemed like an unassuming guy. Like most are, I'd guess.

I know a sound engineer who was mixing a Motorhead record with Lemmy kicked back on the couch in back, eyes closed with a bottle of JD. When the engineer adjusted the bass so he could simply get a handle on where it was in the mix, Lemmy booms out DON'T FCK WITH THE BASS. :eek::oops::cool:

Was this semi recently, like within the last 10 years? I ask because the client I mentioned above was also Motorhead's producer for their last few records. Wonder if we know the same guy. And yeah, Lemmy stories........

Easily my favorite Social D song, and one of my favorite rock and roll songs of all time. The perfect blend rock swagger/attitude and self deprecation. And a heaping helping of loud guitar. Just perfect.

I played that song like four times in a row the other night. Unmatched writing, playing, guitar tone and production. What else is there? TFPU, Matt. :thumbsup::notworthy:

I think yes. Kris S. is the sound engineer's name.

Alas, different guys, though I'm sure they know each other.
