Hard to believe, but Southern California punk legends Social Distortion never had performed on television — even during their early-to-mid ’90s “Ball and Chain”-fueled major-label heyday — before last night. Here they are, in the clip above, making their TV debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with “Machine Gun Blues,” the first single off Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, due out Jan. 18. As a bonus, Mike Ness and Co. also played 1990’s “Story of My Life,” seen below.
