20 Questions With Billy Milano, 3/5/02

20 QUESTIONS WITH…

SOD/MOD’s singer Billy Milano

This is by far the angriest and one of the most brutal 20 Questions we’ve ever done in our 3 1/2 years of doing this. It’s so angry if you’re not paying attention to what Billy’s saying a hand will come out of your screen and slap you in the face. So pay attention!

In case you don’t know, Billy is the singer for S.O.D, Stromtroppers Of Death, which also includes Scott Ian & Charlie Benante from Anthrax and Danny Lilker. He’s also the singer for M.O.D. Lately, he’s been having some problems with Scott & Charlie and has posted some messages on various metal message boards across the net. So when Paul Crook emailed us and said he could get Billy to do 20 Questions with us, we thought we’d find out what the story is and get to the bottom of it. And you know what? Billy isn’t shy about sharing his opinions. So consider yourself warned!

Enjoy!

1. What are you up to? This is your only change to promote you shit.

I recently moved back from Dallas Texas to Hoboken, NJ. Just rebuilding my life- I am single again. Doing some production. Scar Culture and Merauder for century media records. Building my management co. back up. Same shit. Spending time with family and friends. Just enjoying being home. My new Band is called BULLYDANCE

2. Why are you so angry?

Who cares what the fuck they think. Anyway, Gary Meskal from pro-pain was standing right there when i said it in 1985-because I suggested it to him for the crumbsuckers. He will verify this. that was in my back yard at the SOD record release party. Just another Idea from me that Anthrax stole- They are the biggest copy cat wannabe’s

7. We’ve read that you are upset with the fact that Anthrax didn’t include you in the VH1 Behind The Music. What makes you think that you had anything to do with their career as a band? Besides tell them to wear shorts of course.

My point behind that was simply this, any time Scott needed me-I was there for him. end of story. He never called me to say hello, how are you? I’m in town, nothing. But he called me up begging for me to do SOD because the IRS took his house for back taxes. I said no for 3 months to Murray “my business manager and accountant, as well as sod, mega force, ect” until Scott called me up and begged- I lost 7 years of my management momentum to help this fucking selfish cocksucker and he doesn’t even call to say hello?!?!- I say fuck you-lets go to war. You know, I was actually going to let shit slide until this interview. But now-Charlie and Scott are gonna get choked out. I SHIT YOU NOT!!!!!!.

8. Have you ever seen the inside of a gym?

Dude- I may have a beer belly-But I am a fucking animal in the gym, which is why people only talk shit about me behind my back. When you stand in a room with methe game is different. I am ALFA.

9. How did you handle S.O.D.’s grueling touring schedule?

We didn’t tour much- 3 -4 weeks once 2 weeks in europe and 9 days in japan. the 11 days more in america

10. Rate the following restaurants on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being a place that sucks and 10 being a place that rules.

first off, SOD was blowing Anthrax record sales out of the door. in 87 when SOD played with Motorhead and Wendy O Williams. Charlie actually quit anthrax and wanted to do SOD full time because i rule as a frontman and Joey belladonna was a cheesy loser. Everyone in Anthrax cried like stuck pigs. Anthrax will always be second rate. Again Look at the time line. SOD big in 85-86-87. Anthrax only gets popular after SOD and Among the livingcomes out. By the way, Among was a rip off of my attitude, the NYC hard-core attitude and SOD. The funny thing is Scott and Charlie are gonna be kissing my ass to do SOD after Anthrax takes it’s finale gasp and dies. And that’s exactly what they are gonna have to do-KISS MY ASS,. And to answer your question,I don’t feel anything but await my reconning.

12. What’s the truth behind the “Indian’s” riff off of Anthrax’s “Among The Living” record?

When Anthrax was mixing Spreading the disease, I was playing a riff on the guitar rig in the live room and it was the Hacowiee riff from the show F-Troop. Charlie said he was writing a song for the next record about INDIANS, so he stole it like the evil kunt he is.

13. Why make an M.O.D. record? Aren’t you afraid that when it sells nothing people will see you are nothing without Scott, Charlie, and Dan?

N-SYNC and BACKDOOR BOYS

15. The Last Of Billy Milano:

Last time you were arrested = November to dismember in California last year for assault

16. Why do you always talk about Anthrax and not M.O.D? Is it because no one cares about M.O.D and this is the only way you can get ‘press’, by bad mouthing other people?

I think the reason I talk some much truth about SHIT-THRAX is the fact that it’s the truth or the subject matter on what ever site I’m reading. Understand – Alot of people think they suck ass, not only me. In the underground MOD is still around-in it’s own way.as far as bad mouthing people for press, It’s wrestling, I am the Villain- and I love it!

17. Would you really beat up Iron Maiden over the cover to Bigger Than The Devil? Nicko looks like he can take a punch.

Then go fuck your mothers ass – I did. And SOD gave me my success, not Anthrax. They sucked SOD for all it’s uniqueness. Dude, you are digging a grave for those punks, no fooling. Because of this interview-they now die!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. Who’s bubble-butt?

your mother-

20. Time for Metal Sludge’s Word Association. We mention a name and you give us your thoughts.

No – it’s all entertainment. except the fucking choke out Charlie and Scott got coming.

Billy, why don’t you open up a bit more and say what you really mean!

Well, what else is there left to say? Billy doesn’t have an official website, so we have nothing to plug here.

And now that he’s had his say, let the Sludge hit the fan!
