Thanks to Social Distortion’s fans, Mike Ness has ranked 5th in the first round of voting in KROQ’s Top Alternative Rock Guitarists poll.

“First, it’s an honor to be placed in this category amongst such incredibly talented musicians. Second, and most importantly, thanks to all of my fans. Without you, Social Distortion would not have been able to maintain its career of 33 years and I would not be able to do what I love. Regardless of where I end up on this list, I wouldn’t be here without you – so thank you.” – Mike Ness
