Two years after the release of Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, Los Angeles punk warriors Social Distortion are still on the road — and they managed a nice surprise for fans at a Dec. 15 show in Los Angeles, when bearded guitar legend Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top joined the Mike Ness and Co. on stage to play “Drug Train.”
