Happy Birthday AC!
Thanks for the "Free" gift to everyone!
Great for Steven Crayn to lay down a very Buxton-like solo to the track.
Does sound a bit like the ACG has been "Raised From The Dead".

Best moment of my career playing the guitar solo, which i recorded remotely at a studio in the UK in May last year during the lockdown.
Well I quite like the song on first listen. Your guitar solo is creative and unique. Mr Buxton is smiling on you.

Great guitar solo.
Quite like Dennis Dunaway's bass lines especially during the instrumental section.

Steven, Very nice job!

I wasn't blown away on first listen but that was on the phone. Once I played it through the system it really came to life and rocked.

Social Debris finally made me more excited about the new album.
Absolutely loving the solo (fantastic job, Steven!
![zrockstar :rock:](./images/smilies/zrockstar.gif)
What an incredible experience this must have been) and really digging Dennis' bass lines.

Really like this song, truly AC style.
does the word "single" means it could pop up in any chart somewhere (being promoted as such) or is it just meant as a teaser for the upcoming cd ?
you really wouldn't understand..

As it was downloadable for free yesterday I doubt it is eligible for any sales charts.

The muscianship is very good, always nice to hear Dennis and really good solo Steven. But there's something about it that only makes me think of other songs when I hear it. For example, the verses just makes me wanna sing "Addicted to Love" instead (or rather Weird Als "Addicted to Spuds" since I'm more familiar with that). And there's a similar "Down, down, down" in some Roxie song which pops into my head as well.
I'm not saying it's bad in anyway, but it doesn't really stand out to me. Hopefully it will grow on me.

Like the song and a replay of the bass intro from Elected was fun. Congrats on the strong solo Steven.
Agree with Pitkin in a way, for the first few listens it actually seemed to be setting itself up for the chorus from Teenage Frankenstein.

strangely enough, I had the same impression (addicted to love). recently I heard "Talking in your sleep" (romantics) o n the radio and it made me think it sounded familiar with Trick bag somehow... But playing them back to back showed the differences in rythm though)
you really wouldn't understand..

For some uncanny reason after listening to Social Debris I couldn't stop thinking of AC/DC's Giving the dog a bone....
I LOVED the guitar solo, My girlfriend said it was the best part of the song so, Steven you're amazing!

The guitar solo is really good. However, the song is kind of Meh in my opinion.

I just watched the Official Video for the song on YouTube. Generally the visual aspect of the video is appealing to me but I agree w/some others here that the song itself isn't anything special. I too am impressed with the solo though. Great job, Steven!
