What kind of group does Social Distortion 2001 Tour and Mike Ness have in common?
Social Distortion 2001 Tour The Social Distortion 2001 Tour was a concert tour by Social Distortion. It was their first tour in three years as Mike Ness was busy with his solo project, touring throughout 1999 and the rest of the band was off doing their own thing. Dennis Danell was working as a producer in the Orange County area for up-and-coming punk bands and he was also in the process of recording demos for his side project. John Maurer had started his own side band as well, Foxy. Foxy had just released its debut album. On this tour, the band premiered new songs off of the Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll album like, "Footprints On My Ceiling", "I Wasn't Born to Follow" and "Angel's Wings" and "Road Zombie", although, "Angel's Wings" sounded almost different with different lyrics than its studio counterpart. They even played a couple songs that were rare to hear at a Social Distortion concert those days, "Hour of Darkness", "Backstreet Girl", "I Won't Run No More", "When She Begins", "King of Fools" and "Down On the World Again". This was also one of the few tours where Social Distortion did not have ANY opening acts.
Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes is the seventh studio album by the American punk rock band Social Distortion, released on January 18, 2011. It is the band's first album recorded with bassist Brent Harding, their first album of new material since 2004's "Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll", and their first release on Epitaph Records. Work on the album began in 2006 and it was originally forecast for a 2007 release, but was pushed back several times while the band continued touring and writing new material. After four years of writing, Social Distortion recorded the album from February to July 2010 at Ocean Studios in Burbank, California. Drummer Atom Willard left the group during the recording sessions in favor of his other band, Angels & Airwaves. He was temporarily replaced by Scott Reeder before David Hidalgo, Jr. joined as the band's new permanent drummer. Despite being listed as a band member on the album, Hidalgo did not actually play on it; instead, the band hired session musician Josh Freese to record the drum tracks.
